        <footnote id="F1">On May 16, 2018, the Issuer cancelled, pursuant to the Issuer's option exchange program, an option granted to the Reporting Person on August 11, 2017. Each exchanged option to purchase one share of common stock was replaced with a new option to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of options exchanged divided by 1.55, which represents an exchange ratio based on the exercise price of the exchanged option, subject to rounding.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">One-fourth of the shares subject to the option vested on July 3, 2018, and 1/48th of the shares subject to the option shall vest each month thereafter.</footnote>
