In a board meeting immediately following the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of Alcon, Inc. on May 6, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Alcon, Inc. re-elected Cary Rayment as its Chairman and re-elected Francisco Castañer as its Vice-Chairman.

At the May 6, 2008 Board meeting, the Board approved an annual cash retainer of $85,000, plus an additional $15,000 for the Audit Committee Chairman, to each member of the Board, except for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for service to Alcon, Inc. as a director for the period commencing at the Annual General Meeting held on May 6, 2008 and ending at the next succeeding Annual General Meeting. Additionally, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board approved an award to each non-employee director of Alcon, Inc. of 1,500 share-settled stock appreciation rights (“SSARs”) and 425 restricted share units (“RSUs”). The exercise price of a SSAR shall be equal to the closing price of one common share of the Company, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant, which is scheduled for Friday, May 9, 2008 (the third trading day following the Annual General Meeting). Both the SSARs and RSUs have a three-year vesting period from the date of grant.
