        <footnote id="F1">Consonance Capital Management LP (&quot;Management&quot;) is the indirect beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock, no par value, held by Consonance Capital Master Account, LP (the &quot;Master Account&quot;).  Consonance Capman GP, LLC (&quot;Capman&quot;) is the general partner of Management.  Management receives an asset-based fee, but has no pecuniary interest.  Mitchell Blutt is the manager and member of Capman and has a pecuniary interest in the shares held by the Master Account as the manager and member of the general partner of the Master Account and thereby is entitled to a portion of the profits allocation.  Each of Mr. Blutt, Management and Capman disclaim their beneficial ownership except to the extent of their pecuniary interest.</footnote>
    </footnotes>

    <remarks>The reporting persons became 10% beneficial owners of the common stock of Vericel Corporation (the &quot;Issuer&quot;) as a result of a decreased outstanding share number publicly announced in the Issuer's Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2016.</remarks>
