 place undue reliance thereon. The prospective financial information has been prepared by, and is the responsibility
of, our management. BDO USA, P.C. has not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled, nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to this prospective financial information. Accordingly, BDO USA, P.C. does not
express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The report of BDO USA, P.C. incorporated by reference in this proxy statement relates to STAAR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 27, 2024 and does not extend to the prospective financial information, and should not be read to do so.

In the view of STAAR’s management, the Projections reflect management’s best and most current available estimates and judgments
regarding STAAR’s risk-adjusted likely future financial performance on a standalone basis as of the time they were prepared. While presented with numerical specificity, the financial projections are based upon a variety of estimates and
assumptions that are inherently uncertain. Some or all of the estimates and

assumptions that have been made in connection with the preparation of the financial projections may have changed since the dates that the financial projections were prepared. None of STAAR or any
of its affiliates, advisors or other representatives assumes any responsibility for the validity, reasonableness, accuracy or completeness of the financial projections. Neither STAAR nor any of its affiliates, advisors or other representatives have
or intend to, and each of them disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or correct the financial projections if any or all of them have become or become inaccurate (even in the short term) since the time of their preparation. These considerations
should be taken into account in reviewing the financial projections, which were prepared as of an earlier date.

The financial projections
do not reflect changes in general business or economic conditions since the time they were prepared, changes in STAAR’s businesses or prospects since the time they were prepared, or any other transaction or event that has occurred or that may
occur and that was not anticipated at the time the financial projections were prepared, and the financial projections are not necessarily indicative of current values or future performance, which may be significantly more favorable or less favorable
than as set forth below and should not be regarded as a representation that the financial projections will be achieved. The financial projections also reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. In addition,
STAAR’s future financial
