Set forth below is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock directly held by each of Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. (“Life Sciences”) and 667, L.P. (“667”, and together with Life Sciences, the “Funds”) which may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as well as shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants with no expiration date with an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock (“Pre-Funded Warrants”), subject to the limitations on exercise described below, as of January 31, 2023.

The information set forth below is based on 57,153,490 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 4, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 10, 2022, plus 2,827,093, 2,281,000 and 814,487 shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants, respectively on December 20, 2022, December 28, 2022 and January 4, 2023. Such percentage figures are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Holder	Number of Shares of Common Stock we own or have the right to acquire within 60 days		Percent of Class Outstanding at Janaury 31, 2023
667, L.P.		-		0.0	%
Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P.		-		0.0	%
Total		-		0.0	%

Set forth below is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock directly held by each of the Funds which may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as of December 31, 2022, as well as Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants, subject to the limitations on exercise described below.

The information set forth below is based on 57,153,490 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 4, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 10, 2022, plus 2,827,093, and 2,281,000 shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants, respectively on December 20, 2022 and December 28, 2022, plus 166,942 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants, subject to limitations on exercise described below. Such percentage figures are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

Holder	Number of Shares of Common Stock we own or have the right to acquire within 60 days		Percent of Class Outstanding at December 31, 2022
667, L.P.		219,138		0.35	%
Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P.		2,896,045		4.64	%
Total		3,115,183		4.99	%

The Pre-Funded Warrants are only exercisable to the extent that after giving effect or immediately prior to such exercise the holders thereof, together with their affiliates and any person who are members of a Section 13(d) group with the holders or one of their affiliates would beneficially own in the aggregate, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, no more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock (“Maximum Percentage”). By written notice to the Issuer, the Funds may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to that Fund to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. As a result of this restriction, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding Common Stock.

Pursuant to the management agreements, as amended, among the Adviser, the Funds and their respective general partners, the Funds’ respective general partners relinquished to the Adviser all discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held by the Funds and thus the Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the Funds’ investments and voting power over investments.
