        <footnote id="F2">The amounts shown represent the beneficial ownership or the issuer's securities by funds and certain managed accounts managed by Great Point Partners.

Great Point Partners, LLC and Mr. Sheffield each disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. The amounts shown consist of securities collectively owned by each or Biomedical Value Fund, LP, Biomedical Institutional Value Fund, LP, Biomedical Offshore Value Fund, Ltd., WS Investments II, Class D Series of GEF-PS, LP, and David J.
