•Acquisition of AcuFocus – During January 2023, we acquired AcuFocus, Inc. (“AcuFocus”). AcuFocus is an ophthalmic medical device company that has delivered breakthrough small aperture intraocular technology to address diverse unmet needs in eye care. The IC-8® Apthera™ IOL was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in July 2022 as the first and only small aperture non-toric EDOF IOL for certain cataract patients who have as much as 1.5 diopters of corneal astigmatism and wish to address presbyopia at the same time. We believe that the IC-8® Apthera TM IOL will bolster our surgical portfolio by enhancing our IOL offerings, which is a strategic area of focus for the Company.

On October 8, 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”)/G20 inclusive framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (the “Inclusive Framework”) published a statement updating and finalizing the key components of a two-pillar plan on global tax reform originally agreed on July 1, 2021, and a timetable for implementation by 2023. The timetable for implementation was extended to 2024 or, with respect to certain components of the plan, to 2025. The Inclusive Framework plan has now been agreed to by more than 140 OECD members, including several countries which did not agree to the initial plan. Under Pillar One, a portion of the residual profits of multinational businesses with global turnover above €20 billion and a profit margin above 10% will be allocated to market countries where such allocated profits would be taxed. Under Pillar Two, the Inclusive Framework has agreed on a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% for companies with revenue above €750 million, calculated on a country-by-country basis. On October 30, 2021, the G20 formally endorsed the new global minimum corporate tax rate rules. Many members of the Inclusive Framework have either introduced or announced their intention to introduce certain components of the global minimum tax in line with the model rules for fiscal year beginning on or after December 31, 2023. For example, on December 15, 2022, the European Union member states unanimously adopted the directive to implement pillar two rules. According to the directive, the member states were expected to enact pillar two rules into domestic law in 2023, with certain elements becoming effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023. On August 4, 2023, Canada released draft legislation to enact certain components of the pillar two proposals into Canadian law as the Global Minimum Tax Act (“GMTA”), which was enacted on June 20, 2024. The GMTA is generally aligned with the model rules proposed by the OECD and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023. The OECD has published model rules and other guidance with respect to pillar two, which are generally consistent with the agreement reached by the Inclusive Framework in October 2021. On February 1, 2023, the Inclusive Framework released a package of technical and administrative guidance on the implementation of pillar two, including the scope of companies that will be subject to the Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (“GloBe”), transition rules, and guidance on domestic minimum taxes that countries may choose to adopt, among other topics. On December 18, 2023, the OECD announced plans to release additional guidance on model rules and to start the peer review process in 2024. On June 17, 2024, the OECD published further administrative guidance to clarify the operation of the model rules. On January 15, 2025, the OECD published additional guidance on the interpretation of the GloBe model rules, including the central…

The United States did not announce plans to enact the tax measures under the two-pillar plan. On February 1, 2023, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board indicated that they believe the minimum tax imposed under pillar two is an alternative minimum tax, and, accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the minimum tax would not be recognized or adjusted for the estimated future effects of the minimum tax but would be recognized in the period incurred. On January 20, 2025, the Trump Administration issued an executive order declaring the Inclusive Framework has no force or effect in the U.S. absent congressional action, and directing the U.S. Department of Treasury to: (i) investigate whether any non-U.S. countries are not in compliance with any U.S. tax treaty or have implemented or are likely to implement tax rules that are extraterritorial or disproportionately affect U.S. companies, which may include actions or taxes imposed under Pillar One or Pillar Two, and (ii) develop options for “protective measures” in response to any such noncompliance or tax rules. On June 28, 2025, the United States and the rest of the G7 countries announced an agreement that would, in principle, exclude U.S. parented groups from certain taxes under Pillar Two and address certain risks of base erosion and profit shifting. However, we cannot predict whether or when such agreement will be brought into force, and whether the United States will adopt any other protective measures including with respect to any taxes imposed under Pillar One, or whether or how any non-U.S. countries may change their tax laws, including with respect to taxes imposed under Pillar One or Pillar Two, in response to the executive order, the agreement in principle described above, or otherwise. It is possible that any changes in U.S. or non-U.S. tax law could have material adverse effect on our future tax liabilities and our effective tax rate.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”). The effects of this legislation for the Company include extending and modifying certain key Tax Cuts & Jobs Act provisions (both domestic and international). The corporate tax rate remains unchanged but bonus depreciation, domestic R&D expensing, and an adjustment to the interest deduction limitation were retroactive to January 2025. The OBBBA makes additional changes to international tax provisions, including substantive changes to existing GILTI, foreign-derived intangible income (FDII), and base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT) provisions. These changes are effective for taxable years after 2025. The Company is evaluating the effects of this legislation on its tax provision for both 2025 and future years. Management will continue to evaluate the impact on future reporting periods.
