 so that there can be no doubt
that the Company’s stockholders oppose the Proposed Merger.

Broadwood
recommends that you vote “AGAINST” the Compensation Proposal. For additional information, see the above section titled
“Reasons to Vote Against the Merger Agreement Proposal—A Windfall for the Executives”.

Vote Required

According
to the Company’s proxy statement, assuming a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of Common Stock
representing a majority of Common Stock present by remote communication or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to
vote on the Compensation Proposal is required to approve the Compensation Proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST”
the Compensation Proposal, and broker non-votes will have no effect on the Compensation Proposal. We urge stockholders to vote “AGAINST”
the Compensation Proposal to make sure that their voices are heard and let the Company know that stockholders stand in clear opposition
to the Proposed Merger.
