amends and restates the Statement on Schedule 13D (&#8220;Original Schedule 13D&#8221;) that was initially filed on May 24, 2021. This
Amendment No. 1 relates to the beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (&#8220;Common Stock&#8221;) of
Vera Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&#8220;Issuer&#8221;) by Sofinnova Venture Partners X, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(&#8220;SVP X&#8221;), Sofinnova Management X, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (&#8220;SM X LP&#8221;), Sofinnova Management X-A,
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (&#8220;SM X LLC&#8221;), Dr. James I. Healy (&#8220;Healy&#8221;), and Dr. Maha Katabi (&#8220;Katabi&#8221;
and collectively with SVP X, SM X LP, SM X LLC, and Healy, the &#8220;Reporting Persons&#8221;). This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to
update the aggregate percentage of the class of securities of the Issuer owned by the Reporting Persons due to dilution caused by the
Issuer&#8217;s additional sales of Common Stock from time to time since the date of the filing of the Original Schedule 13D. The Issuer
reported outstanding Common Stock in the Issuer&#8217;s Form 10-K (File No. 001-40407) filed on March 28, 2022 causing a decrease in aggregate
percentage ownership by the Reporting Persons of one percent (1%) or more from the percentages reported in the Original Schedule 13D.</P>
