 If your shares of STAAR common stock are registered directly in your name with STAAR’s transfer agent, 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. If you do not return your bank’s, broker’s or other nominee’s voting form, do not vote via the Internet or telephone through your bank, broker or other nominee, if possible, or do not attend the Special Meeting and vote thereat, it will have the same effect as if you voted “ AGAINST” the Merger Proposal but, assuming a quorum is present, will not have any effect on the Compensation Proposal (so long as you do not attend the Special Meeting and abstain from voting on any given proposal, which would have the same effect as voting “ AGAINST” the Merger Proposal and the Compensation Proposal). -29-
