On November 12, 2025, Neal C. Bradsher, Founder
and President of Broadwood Capital, Inc., provided the following comment in response to Alcon Inc.’s third quarter 2025 earnings
results:

“Alcon’s results today, including
the continuing weakness of its implantables business, demonstrate why Alcon needs STAAR far more than STAAR needs Alcon, and why Alcon
has been pursuing STAAR so aggressively for more than 19 months. Alcon’s recent public pessimism about STAAR is simply a transparent
strategy to deter other bidders and enable Alcon to buy STAAR on the cheap.”
