(1) Redmile Group, LLC’s beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock (“Common Stock”) is comprised of 3,503,190 shares of Common Stock owned by certain private investment vehicles and/or separately managed accounts managed by Redmile Group, LLC, which shares of Common Stock may be deemed beneficially owned by Redmile Group, LLC as investment manager of such private investment vehicles and/or separately managed accounts. The reported securities may also be deemed beneficially owned by Jeremy C. Green as the principal of Redmile Group, LLC. Redmile Group, LLC and Mr. Green each disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest in such shares, if any. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Blocker (as defined below), Redmile Group, LLC may also be deemed to beneficially own 24,216,983 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants to purchase Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the Issuer may not effect any exercise of any Warrant, and a holder of a Warrant does not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant held by such holder, to the extent that, after giving effect to the attempted exercise set forth in a notice of exercise, such holder, together with such holder’s affiliates and any other person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including any “group” of which such holder is a member, would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (the “Beneficial Ownership Blocker”). The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” is 9.99% of the shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, which percentage may be changed at a holder’s election upon 61 days’ notice to the Issuer. The 4,897,575 shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Redmile Group, LLC in this Schedule 13G represent 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated in accordance with footnote (2) below).

(2) Percentage based on the sum of (i) 47,630,393 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 28, 2022, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2022 (the “Form 10-Q”), plus (ii) 1,394,385 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain of the Warrants, which due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation is the maximum number of shares that could be issued upon exercise of the Warrants.
