- Footnotes of note: F1–F3 indicate Thompson is obligated to transfer the securities or economic benefits to OrbiMed Advisors LLC / OrbiMed Capital GP V LLC for delivery to OrbiMed Private Investments V, LP (OPI V), and disclaims beneficial ownership except for any pecuniary interest.

Context
- M-code (option exercise): Thompson exercised vested options and received underlying common shares; the options were extinguished (reported as disposed at $0). This was an exercise, not an open-market purchase or sale of shares.
- Institutional note: Because of transfer/assignment provisions and the Form 4 footnotes, these actions appear tied to OrbiMed’s management/holding structure (institutional), not necessarily an individual personal investment decision.
