Alcon has been and continues to be one of the Company's largest customers, comprising 44% and 39% of its revenues for the fiscal years ended May 25, 2025 and May 26, 2024, respectively. On May 22, 2023, Alcon entered into the Term Loan Credit Facility with the Company as described in note 10. This relationship as the Company's largest creditor, combined with its position as one of the Company's largest customers, caused management to conclude that Alcon has the ability to exert significant influence over the Company and therefore meets the definition of a related party beginning in May 2023.
Alcon’s transactions with the Company are as follows:
•Customary current financial positions for a customer of Alcon's size, including accounts receivable, contract assets, contract liabilities and revenue, each as presented in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. Alcon has provided the Company guaranteed contractual minimum purchasing commitments through 2031, and the Company is required to maintain certain manufacturing capacity levels through 2033;

•A significant individual prepayment that Alcon made to the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 of $5,500. The prepayment was accounted for as a contract liability, initially recorded at present value due to the existence of a significant financing component, and now being accreted to its settlement value via charges to interest expense, related party. This contract liability will be settled beginning January 2026 by issuing twelve monthly credit memos to Alcon totaling $5,500. The contract liability is classified on the balance sheet as a current portion of $2,731 and a noncurrent portion of $2,768, which is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet;
•Proceeds of $142,270 from term loans issued in May 2023 that were used to repay prior borrowings. The term loan principal plus accrued interest has grown to $173,508 through May 25, 2025 as a result of 10% interest paid-in-kind. See note 10 for additional information; and
•Alcon purchased equipment in May 2023 for $7,730 that it is leasing back to the Company in exchange for quarterly payments over a ten-year period. Payments to Alcon under the lease were $1,185 and $970 for the fiscal year ended May 25, 2025 and May 26, 2024. See note 10 for additional information.
•Interest expense incurred from the Alcon borrowings noted above was $18,879 and $14,662 for the years ended May 25, 2025 and May 26, 2024, respectively. Included in those amounts was non-cash interest expense of $18,473 and $14,186 for the years ended May 25, 2025 and May 26, 2024, respectively.
