STAAR and Broadwood clash over proposed Alcon merger

Broadwood Partners, who is against the merger, holds approximately 27.5% of the outstanding common stock of STAAR, making them the largest outside stockholder of STAAR.

STAAR and Broadwood Partners have recently pleaded their case in the proposed merger between STAAR and Alcon, issuing statements both for and against the move, respectively. This follows the expiration of the “window shop” period in the proposed merger agreement.
