STAAR Surgical Company is the subject of a proposed acquisition by Alcon Inc. Following an earlier agreement, the merger terms were amended to include a go-shop provision and a revised termination fee. Despite these changes, the transaction has continued to face significant opposition from shareholders and criticism from proxy advisory firms, who have raised concerns about the valuation and the integrity of the sale process. The company recently concluded a 30-day go-shop period but maintained its support for the deal with Alcon.
