The general partner of the Adviser is RA Capital Management GP, LLC (the &quot;Adviser GP&quot;), of which Dr. Peter Kolchinsky and Mr. Rajeev Shah are the managing members. The Adviser, the Adviser GP, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The shares subject to this option will vest and become exercisable in full on the earlier of (i) June 21, 2023 or (ii) the next annual meeting of the Issuer's stockholders, subject to the Joshua Resnick's continued service through the applicable vesting date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Joshua Resnick is a Managing Director of the Adivser who serves on the Issuer's board of directors. Under Mr. Resnick's arrangement with the Adviser, Mr. Resnick holds the option for the benefit of the Fund, the Nexus Fund and the Account.  Mr. Resnick is obligated to turn over to the Adviser any net cash or stock received upon exercise of the option, which will offset advisory fees owed by the Fund, the Nexus Fund, and the Account to the Adviser.  The Reporting Persons therefore disclaim beneficial ownership of the option and underlying common stock.</footnote>
