expectations and beliefs of management and are provided for the purpose of providing additional information about such expectations and
beliefs, and readers are cautioned that these statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in Bausch + Lomb's filings with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "CSA") (including the Company's final
prospectus as filed with the SEC on May 5, 2022 pursuant to Rule 424 (b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 and the Company's supplemented PREP prospectus as filed with the CSA on May 5, 2022), which factors
are incorporated herein by reference. They also include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed plan to spin off or
separate the Company from Bausch Health, including the expected benefits and costs of the spin-off transaction, the expected timing of
completion of the spin-off transaction and its terms (including the expectation that the spin-off transaction will be completed following the expiry
of customary lock-ups related to the Bausch + Lomb IPO and achievement of targeted net leverage ratios, subject to market conditions and
receipt of applicable shareholder and other necessary approvals), the ability to complete the spin-off transaction considering the various
conditions to the completion of the spin-off transaction (some of which are outside the Company's and BHC's control, including conditions
related to regulatory matters and receipt of applicable shareholder and other approvals), the impact of any potential sales of the Company's
common shares by BHC subject to expiry of lock-ups, that market or other conditions are no longer favorable to completing the transaction, that
applicable shareholder, stock exchange, regulatory or other approval is not obtained on the terms or timelines anticipated or at all, business
disruption during the pendency of or following the spin-off transaction, diversion of management time on spin-off transaction-related issues,
retention of existing management team members, the reaction of customers and other parties to the spin-off transaction, the qualification of the
spin-off transaction as a tax-free transaction for Canadian and/or U.S. federal income tax purposes (including whether or not an advance ruling
from the Canada Revenue Agency and/or the Internal Revenue Service will be sought or obtained), the ability of the Company and BHC to
satisfy the conditions required to maintain the tax-free status of the spin-off transaction (some of which are beyond their control), other potential
BAUSCH + LOMB
tax or other liabilities that may arise as a result of the spin-off transaction, the potential dis-synergy costs resulting from the spin-off transaction,
the impact of the spin-off transaction on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties, general
economic conditions, conditions in the markets the Company is engaged in, behavior of customers, suppliers and competitors, technological
developments and legal and regulatory rules affecting the Company's business. In particular, the Company can offer no assurance that any
spin-off transaction will occur at all, or that any spin-off transaction will occur on the terms and timelines anticipated by the Company and BHC.
They also include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties caused by or relating to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, the fear of that
pandemic, the emergence of variant and subvariant strains of COVID-19 (including the Delta and Omicron variants) and any resulting
reinstitution of lockdowns or other restrictions, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines for COVID-19 (including with respect to current or
future variants and subvariants), COVID-19 vaccine immunization rates, the evolving reaction of governments, private sector
participants and the public to that pandemic, and the potential effects and economic impact of that pandemic, the severity, duration and future
impact of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, and which may have a material adverse impact on the Company, including but
not limited to its supply chain, third-party suppliers, project development timelines, employee base, liquidity, stock price, financial condition and
costs (which may increase) and revenue and margins (both of which may decrease). Finally, they also include, but are not limited to, risks and
uncertainties caused by or relating a potential recession and its impact on revenues, expenses and resulting margins. In addition, certain
material factors and assumptions have been applied in making these forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, assumptions
regarding our 2022 full-year guidance with respect to expectations regarding base performance growth and organic growth, currency impact,
run rate dis-synergies and inflation, expectations regarding adjusted gross margin (non-GAAP), adjusted SG&A expense (non-GAAP) and the
Company's ability to continue to manage such expense in the manner anticipated and the extent of the Company's R&D expense; and the
assumption that the risks and uncertainties outlined above will not cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in
these forward-looking statements. Management has also made certain assumptions in assessing the anticipated impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic on the Company and its results of operations and financial conditions, including: that there will be no material restrictions on access
to health care products and services resulting from a possible resurgence of the virus and variant and subvariant strains thereof on a global
basis in 2022; there will be increased availability and use of effective vaccines; that the strict social restrictions in the first half of 2020 will not
be materially re-enacted in the event of a material resurgence of the virus and variant and subvariant strains thereof; that there will be an
ongoing, gradual global recovery as the macroeconomic and health care impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic diminish over time; that the
largest impact to the Company's businesses were seen in the second quarter of 2020; that, to the extent not already achieved, our revenues
will likely return to pre-pandemic levels during 2022, but that rates of recovery will vary by geography and business unit, with some regions and
business units expected to lag in recovery possibly beyond 2022; and no major interruptions in the Company's supply chain and distribution
channels. If any of these assumptions regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are incorrect, our actual results could differ materially
from those described in these forward-looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only.
