If your shares of STAAR common stock are registered directly in your name with STAAR’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company (formerly American Stock Transfer & Trust Company) (which this proxy statement refers to as “Equiniti”), you are considered a stockholder of record with respect to those shares. Some stockholders hold shares of STAAR common stock through a bank, broker or other nominee, and are often said to hold those shares in “street name.” These stockholders are considered “beneficial owners” of those shares. If you hold shares of STAAR common stock as a beneficial owner in “street name” as of the Record Date, you will receive separate instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. Even if you plan to attend the virtual Special Meeting, STAAR encourages you to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying prepaid reply envelope or grant your proxy electronically over the Internet or by telephone (in accordance with the instructions detailed in “ The Special Meeting—Voting at the Special Meeting”) so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to or become unable to attend the virtual Special Meeting. If you attend the virtual Special Meeting and vote thereat, your vote will revoke any proxy previously submitted.
