Can I sell Bausch & Lomb stock that I currently own before the merger transaction is completed?
Yes, you may sell stock that you own. However, you should carefully consider whether you are aware of sensitive, non-public information about the Company. If you have material, non-public information about the Company, you cannot buy or sell Company stock on the open market, and you cannot make “fund switching” transactions, which involve the transfer of funds out of Bausch & Lomb stock in the 401(k) Plan or the Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the U.S. Securities laws, civil and criminal penalties can be assessed against individuals who buy or sell securities in a company while in possession of material, non-public information about that company. These rules apply to anyone who trades in Bausch & Lomb stock regardless of whether the person resides in the U.S. or in some other country. Please refer to Company Policy 19 [available on the Eyeway] for more information about Securities Trading by Company Personnel. In addition, you should feel free to call Bob Stiles [585-338-6409] or Bob
