Coppersmith's Nominees: Independence & Stockholder Representation
1. Coppersmith's Nominees are truly independent and possess the highest integrity
Coppersmith's Nominees will bring truly fresh perspective to Alere's boardroom, as they are not beholden to any strategy
In contrast, Chairman & CEO Zwanziger's 6/27/13 letter makes clear he believes Alere's nominees have committed to
management's current strategy

> Coppersmith's Nominees are stockholders of Alere, having purchased their shares in the open market
They are representatives of stockholders only, and are nominated by one of Alere's largest stockholders
Unlike Alere's nominees, they were not recommended by Alere's management or long-time investment bankers

2. Coppersmith's Nominees bring CEO and Board-level experience in medical devices, NOT pharmaceuticals
> Sophisticated boards of successful, public, large medical device companies
> CEO-level operating experience in medical devices and industrials
> Extensive M&A transactional and integration experience in medical devices
Coppersmith's Nominees, if elected, will represent a minority of the Board: an introduction of
stockholder views and a balance of power
Coppersmith believes the election of its Nominees may be Alere stockholders' last chance to
send a message that change is overdueView entire presentation
