Column 5 Amount of Securities Beneficially Owned Following Reported Transaction is held by Impresa Fund II LLC (1,150,135 Class A Common Stock indirectly), Impresa Fund III Limited Partnership (74,798 Class A Common Stock indirectly), Fidelity Biosciences Corp. (10,971 Class A Common Stock indirectly) and FIL Limited (1,224,933 Class A Common Stock directly). Column 5 does not include shares beneficially owned by Fidelity Management & Research Company as a result of acting as investment adviser to various investment companies as disclosed in Remark 1 below. Remark 1: Fidelity Management & Research Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR LLC and an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, is the beneficial owner of 7,648,366 Class A Common Stock, or 10.173% of the Class A Common Stock of Ironwood Pharmaceuticals Inc. as a result of acting as investment adviser to various investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. FMR LLC, Edward C. Johnson 3d and FIL Limited have no pecuniary interest in the 7,648,366 Class A Common Stock. Remark 2: FIL Limited directly holds 1,224,933 Class A Common Stock of Ironwood Pharmaceuticals Inc. FMR LLC and FIL are of the view that they are not acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by the other corporation within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 promulgated under the 1934 Act. Therefore, they are of the view that the shares held by the other corporation need not be aggregated for purposes of Section 16(a). However, FMR LLC is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the shares are beneficially owned by FMR LLC and FIL on a joint basis. Daniel T. Gallagher, Duly authorized under Powers of Attorney effective as of July 21, 2009, by and on behalf of FMR LLC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, by and on behalf of Edward C. Johnson 3d, and by and on behalf of FIL Limited. 2012-03-16
