Explanation of Responses: |
1. On December 12, 2024, a private investment vehicle managed by Redmile Group, LLC ("Redmile") exercised its conversion right with respect to 6,022 non-voting Class A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer (the "Class A Preferred Stock") held directly by such private investment vehicle. |
2. The Class A Preferred Stock is convertible into the Issuer's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), in accordance with the terms of Issuer's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Issuer's Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (as amended and restated, the "Certificate of Designation") at any time and from time to time at the holder's election based on a conversion ratio equal to the Class A Preferred Stock's stated value of $13.30 divided by its conversion price of $2.66, which is the equivalent of a one-for-five conversion rate. |
3. The Certificate of Designation provides that the holder may not convert any shares of Class A Preferred Stock if, after giving effect to the attempted conversion, the holder and its affiliates would beneficially own in the aggregate more than 14.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such attempted conversion, which percentage may be changed at a holder's election upon 61 days' notice to the Issuer. The Class A Preferred Stock has no expiration date. |
4. Since the last Form 4 filing by Redmile and Mr. Green, Redmile has ceased serving as the investment adviser to a sub-advised account that held 382,552 shares of the Issuer's Common Shares (such shares, the "Account Shares") and therefore no longer has voting or dispositive power with respect to such shares. Accordingly, the amount of shares beneficially owned by Redmile and Mr. Green as disclosed herein does not include the Account Shares and each of Redmile and Mr. Green disclaims beneficial ownership of the Account Shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. |
5. The securities reported herein are directly owned by private investment vehicles managed by Redmile. The reported securities may be deemed beneficially owned by Redmile as investment manager of such private investment vehicles and by Jeremy Green as the principal of Redmile. Each of Redmile and Mr. Green (the "Reporting Persons") disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein, if any. This report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are a beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. |
Remarks: |
Mr. Michael Lee, a member of the board of directors of the Issuer and a managing director of Redmile, was elected to the board of the Issuer as a representative of Redmile and its affiliates. As a result, the Reporting Persons are directors by deputization for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
By: /s/ Jeremy Green, Managing Member of Redmile Group, LLC | 12/16/2024 | |
