        <footnote id="F2">Represents the number of ADSs required to be sold by the Reporting Person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of Performance-based restricted stock units under the issuer's 2019 Employee Incentive Plan (the &quot;Plan&quot;), that vested on September 11, 2024.

        <footnote id="F3">The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These ADSs were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $4.37 to $4.62, inclusive. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide to Mereo BioPharma Group plc (&quot;Mereo&quot;), any security holder of Mereo, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of ADSs sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth in footnotes (3) and (4) to this Form 4.</footnote>
