|
|
|
Believes New, Independent, and Experienced Directors Are Needed in Order to Restore Trust in the Board and Confidence in the Go-Shop Process
Notes Recently Appended Go-Shop Is Not a Good Substitute for a Full Strategic Alternatives Process Conducted at the Right TimeNEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Broadwood Partners, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively, “Broadwood”) today commented on the recent filing of amendments to the merger agreement in connection with the proposed sale of STAAR Surgical Company (“STAAR” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: STAA) to Alcon Inc.

Alcon (SIX/NYSE: ALC), the global leader in eye care, today announced that it has filed an investor presentation in support of the proposed acquisition of STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ: STAA) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
