        <footnote id="F1">The Series E convertible preferred stock automatically converted into shares of the Issuer's common stock upon the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering based on a pre-stock split conversion price of $19.6166 per share. On July 19, 2021, the Issuer effected a one-for-3.3031 forward stock split of its common stock. The Series E convertible preferred stock has no expiration date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The convertible promissory note dated March 17, 2021 automatically converted into shares of the Issuer's common stock upon the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering based on a conversion price equal to $13.12 per share, which was the purchase price per share (after the forward stock split noted above) paid by investors in connection with the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering, less a discount equal to 18% of such purchase price.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">These securities are directly owned by private investment vehicles managed by Redmile Group, LLC (&quot;Redmile&quot;) and may be deemed beneficially owned by Redmile as investment manager of such private investment vehicles. The reported securities may also be deemed beneficially owned by Jeremy Green as the principal of Redmile. Each of Redmile and Mr. Green (collectively, the &quot;Reporting Persons&quot;) disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. This report shall not be deemed an admission that such Reporting Persons are a beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.</footnote>
    </footnotes>

    <remarks>(1) Amrit Nagpal, a member of the board of directors of the Issuer and a managing director of Redmile, was elected to the board of the Issuer as a representative of Redmile. As a result, the Reporting Persons are directors by deputization for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. (2) As a result of the dilutive effect of the automatic conversion of all of the Issuer's convertible preferred stock and convertible promissory notes outstanding upon the closing of the Issuer's public offering, the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own more than 10% of the Issuer's common stock outstanding as of July 26, 2021.</remarks>
