Alcon Announces New Share Repurchase Program

HUENENBERG, Switzerland– December 5, 2007 -– Alcon, Inc. (NYSE:ACL) announced today that its board of directors approved a new share repurchase program that allows for the purchase of up to $1.1 billion of shares of outstanding common stock targeted over a twelve month period. Board members approved the new repurchase program at a meeting held today in Zurich, Switzerland.

The $1.1 billion share repurchase program provides for a pro-rata purchase of shares from the company’s majority shareholder, Nestle, S.A. Specifically, the company will purchase three shares from Nestle for every share acquired by the company in the market pursuant to this new repurchase program. The price paid for shares purchased from Nestle will equal the volume-weighted average price of Rule 10b-18 eligible market transactions. Shares may be purchased at times and in amounts determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other business factors. The company plans to finance the purchases with excess cash and investments on hand and with funds generated from operations.

“The increased authorization for share repurchases and the pro-rata participation by Nestlé in the new program together allow Alcon to improve its capital structure without materially reducing its public float,” said Richard Croarkin, Alcon’s senior vice president of finance and administration.

This new program is in addition to the company’s existing repurchase program, under which, as of December 5, 2007, the company has remaining authorization to repurchase up to 2.8 million shares. It is anticipated that the new repurchase program will commence in the first quarter of 2008.
