Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )On December 26, 2023, certain private investment vehicles managed by Redmile (the "Redmile Funds") engaged in cross trades with respect to their Common Stock. The reported transactions occurred simultaneously at the market close, at which time the price per share of the Common Stock was $3.72, and therefore the reported transactions resulted in no profit to Redmile or Jeremy Green and resulted in no change in either of their aggregate beneficial ownership. ( 2 )The securities reported herein are directly owned by the Redmile Funds, none of which individually is a 10% owner. The reported securities may be deemed beneficially owned by Redmile as investment manager of the Redmile Funds and by Jeremy Green as the managing 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. This report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are a beneficial owners 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.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
