STAAR Surgical Shareholders Signal Opposition to Proposed Alcon Acquisition

STAAR Surgical Company has received a proposal from Alcon Inc. to acquire the company for $28 per share. The proposed transaction has faced significant opposition, with roughly 72% of STAAR Surgical shares reportedly voting against the deal as of a recent special meeting. Recent communications highlight that STAAR's latest strong quarterly earnings further reinforce skepticism about the sale, as some stakeholders believe the offer does not reflect the company's growth prospects and fair value. Alcon has been actively promoting the proposed acquisition, while some investors have called for more direct communication from STAAR's Board regarding the company's performance and outlook.
