The Warrants are only exercisable to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group, would not beneficially own more than 9.9% of the outstanding Common Shares after giving effect to such exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). As of January 16, 2018, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation limits the aggregate exercise of the Warrants by the Reporting Persons to 0 out of the 15,000,000 Common Shares underlying the Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons in the aggregate.

Each of Partners, BVF Inc. and Mr. Lampert disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Shares beneficially owned by BVF, BVF2, Trading Fund OS, and the Partners Managed Accounts, and the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of any such securities.
