It highlights that ISS, Glass Lewis, and Egan‑Jones recommend an “AGAINST” vote, and it solicits support via the GREEN Proxy Card. This aligns multiple advisory opinions ahead of the decision.

The materials also state public opposition from holders of over 34% of outstanding shares, indicating meaningful organized resistance. The filing lists where investors can access the definitive proxy statement and related information for the upcoming vote.

The key milestone is the special meeting on October 23, 2025. Actual outcomes will depend on final shareholder voting results disclosed thereafter.

Broadwood Partners: All Three Leading Proxy Advisory Firms Recommend STAAR Surgical Shareholders Vote “AGAINST” Sale to Alcon

 

ISS Joins Glass Lewis, Egan-Jones, and Long-Term Shareholders in Opposing Proposed Transaction

 

Concludes There Is No Compelling Reason for Shareholders to Support Proposed Sale of STAAR

 

Broadwood Cautions STAAR’s Board Against Making Further Significant Decisions Without Robust Shareholder Involvement and Alignment After Mounting Opposition to the Deal

 

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Broadwood Partners, L.P. and its affiliates (“Broadwood” or “we”) today announced that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”), a leading independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended that the shareholders of STAAR Surgical Company (“STAAR” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: STAA) vote “AGAINST” the Company’s proposed acquisition by Alcon Inc. (“Alcon”) (NYSE: ALC) (the “Proposed Merger”) on the GREEN Proxy Card.

 

ISS is the third proxy advisory firm to recommend shareholders vote “AGAINST” the Proposed Merger, joining Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass Lewis”) and Egan-Jones Ratings Company (“Egan-Jones”). With this recommendation, all three major proxy advisory firms – in addition to shareholders representing more than 34% of STAAR’s outstanding common shares, including Yunqi Capital, Defender Capital, CalSTRS, and former STAAR CEO David Bailey – have made public their opposition to the Proposed Merger.

 

Neal C. Bradsher, Founder and President of Broadwood, said:

 

“We are gratified that all three leading proxy advisory firms have recommended against this fundamentally flawed transaction. Their findings – along with the public opposition from several of our fellow shareholders – reinforce our view that STAAR conducted a defective sale process that was rife with conflicts and led to an agreement to sell the Company at a price that significantly undervalues STAAR and its prospects.

 

Now that all three major proxy advisory firms and several of the Company’s largest shareholders have found serious faults in the judgment of this Board and the irretrievably flawed sale process, we caution the Board against making any further significant decisions, including about the Alcon deal and other transactions, without robust shareholder involvement and alignment. We continue to urge our fellow investors to vote ’AGAINST’ this flawed deal.”

 

ISS identified multiple “deficiencies, disconnects, and uncertainties”1 with the Proposed Merger and said it is “difficult to identify a compelling reason” for shareholders to support the transaction. ISS’s report reaffirmed Glass Lewis’s and Egan-Jones’s findings — and Broadwood’s firm belief — that the deal was pursued at the wrong time, driven by the wrong process, and resulted in the wrong price for shareholders. The ISS report specifically stated these points as follows:

 

The Wrong Time

 

“The company’s projections reflect meaningful growth and profitability over the next several years. Moreover, the company has a strong balance sheet and cash reserves that should help it weather current headwinds.”

 

“… [T]he transaction was announced immediately prior to disclosure of Q2 financial results, which were better than expected. Not only does this timing invite further suspicion, but the company has changed the manner in which it presents certain challenges, and it has become increasingly pessimistic despite developments since announcement that have been more positive than negative.”

 

“The company’s Q2 2025 earnings included results that were better than consensus expectations, and the company disclosed positive developments regarding its inventory issues in China.”

 

“… [T]he positioning of announcement immediately prior to disclosure of Q2 earnings may have limited the board’s negotiating power…”

 

 

 

The Wrong Process

 

“… [T]here are valid reasons for shareholders to question whether the wider board was fully informed of potential interest [from parties other than Alcon]. These considerations are particularly troubling, as the board chair had a preexisting business relationship with the acquirer that concluded less than a year before the deal was announced. These facts alone could prompt a shareholder to consider rejecting the offer.”

 

“… [I]t is challenging to fully reconcile [STAAR’s] financial condition with the board’s view that the company would not have garnered interest from PE firms…”

 

“… [T]he board’s decision to forgo an auction process is a cause for concern, since investors lack market-based evidence that the deal presented in fact represents the best available alternative.”

 

“… [T]here has been an abrupt shift in the company’s messaging about its standalone prospects that does not appear to be supported by recent developments.”

 

The Wrong Price

 

“… [I]t is important to recognize that the company is working through the issues that led to its share price collapse … [T]he results of these efforts have seemingly been more positive than negative since announcement of the transaction. Thus, it would not be unreasonable for shareholders that believe in the company’s turnaround prospects to place more emphasis on the company’s historical trading range as an anchor for value.”

 

“[Alcon’s offer] … represents a 30.6 percent discount to the 52-week high closing price of $40.36...

 

Broadwood continues to urge shareholders to use the GREEN Proxy Card to vote “AGAINST” the Proposed Merger and to review its presentation, its proxy materials, and its press releases, all of which are available at www.LetSTAARShine.com.
