        <footnote id="F1">RA Capital Management, L.P. (the &quot;Adviser&quot;) is the investment manager for RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. (the &quot;Fund&quot;), RA Capital Nexus Fund II, L.P. (the &quot;Nexus Fund II&quot;) and a separately managed account (the &quot;Account&quot;). 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">This option shall vest as follows: twenty-five percent (25%) on the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date and the remainder vesting in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments, subject to Josh Resnick's continued service or employment with the Issuer on each applicable vesting date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Under Dr. Resnick's arrangement with the Adviser, Dr. Resnick holds the option for the benefit of the Fund, the Nexus Fund II and the Account. Dr. 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 II, and the Account to the Adviser. The Reporting Persons therefore disclaim beneficial ownership of the option and underlying common stock.</footnote>
