        <footnote id="F1">The shares subject to this option will vest and become exercisable in full on the earlier of (i) June 6, 2024 or (ii) the next annual meeting of the Issuer's stockholders, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service through the applicable vesting date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Under the Reporting Person's arrangement with RA Capital Management, L.P. (the &quot;Adviser&quot;), the Reporting Person holds the option for the benefit of the RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. (the &quot;Fund&quot;), RA Capital Nexus Fund, L.P. (the &quot;Nexus Fund&quot;), and a separately managed account (the &quot;Account&quot;). The Reporting Person 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 Person therefore disclaims beneficial ownership of the option and underlying common stock.</footnote>
