For the remaining term commitments under the Loan Agreement, Hercules and its affiliates hold sixty-five percent (65%) and thirty-five (35%) were held by SVB. As a result of the closure of SVB, Geron does not know whether and to what extent Geron would be able to draw down the remaining $55,000,000 under the Loan Agreement, even if Geron meets the conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement necessary for additional draw downs, and it is possible that Geron will not be able to access any additional funding under the Loan Agreement.</span><span style="color:rgba(0,0,0,1);white-space:pre-wrap;font-weight:normal;font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;min-width:fit-content;"> </span></p>
