| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. 9,000 non-qualified stock options ("Stock Options") exercisable solely into common stock ("Common Stock") of Zymeworks Inc. (the "Issuer") were granted under the Issuer's Amended and Restated Stock Option and Equity Compensation Plan to Dr. Kelvin M. Neu, a full-time employee of Baker Bros. Advisors LP (the "Adviser") in his capacity as a director of the Issuer. The Stock Options with a strike price of $35.49, vest on the date of the next annual general meeting following the grant date, subject to Dr. Neu's continued service on the board of directors of the Issuer (the "Board"). |
| 2. The Stock Options expire on May 7, 2030. Dr. Neu serves on the Board as a representative of Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. ("Life Sciences") and 667, L.P. ("667", and together with Life Sciences, the "Funds"). |
| 3. Pursuant to the policies of the Adviser, Dr. Neu does not have any right to any of the Issuer's securities issued as part of his service on the Board and the Funds are entitled to receive all the pecuniary interest in the securities issued. The Funds each own an indirect proportionate pecuniary interest in the Stock Options. Solely as a result of Felix J. Baker's and Julian C. Baker's ownership interest in (i) the general partners of the Funds and (ii) the Funds, Felix J. Baker and Julian C. Baker may be deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest in the Stock Options (i.e. no direct pecuniary interest). |
| 4. The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. In connection with the services provided by the Adviser, the Adviser receives an asset-based management fee that does not confer any pecuniary interest in the securities held by the Funds. Baker Bros. Advisors (GP) LLC (the "Adviser GP") is the Adviser's sole general partner. Julian C. Baker and Felix J. Baker are managing members of the Adviser GP. The Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held by the Funds. The general partners of the Funds relinquished to the Adviser all discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held by the Funds. The Adviser has investment and dispositive power over the Stock Options and any common stock of the Issuer received as a result of the exercise of Stock Options. |
| 5. Julian C. Baker, Felix J. Baker, the Adviser GP and the Adviser disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities held directly by the Funds except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that any of Julian C. Baker, Felix J. Baker, the Adviser GP or the Adviser is a beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose. |
