The Reporting Person undertakes to provide, upon request by the SEC staff, the issuer, or a security holder of the issuer, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price.
( 2 )The shares are held by the Nieh Family Investments L.P - Fund 1 (the "Fund"). The Reporting Person is trustee of the Fund. The number of shares reported as indirectly held by the Fund reflects the change in form of beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 24,587 shares previously reported as indirectly held through the Reporting Person's interest in Lightspeed Venture Partners VIII, L.P. ("Lightspeed VIII"). Such shares were received by virtue of pro-rata in-kind distribution of common stock of the Issuer by Lightspeed VIII without consideration to its limited partners and LightSpeed General Partner VIII, L.P. ("Lightspeed GP"), its general partner, and the further pro-rata in-kind distribution of the shares received by Lightspeed GP without consideration to its interest holders, including the Fund.
( 3 )The shares are held by the Nieh Family Investments L.P - Fund 1 (the "Fund"). The Reporting Person is trustee of the Fund.
( 4 )The Reporting Person is a director of Lightspeed Ultimate General Partner VIII, Ltd., the sole general partner of LightSpeed General Partner VIII, L.P., which serves as the general partner of Lightspeed Venture Partners VIII, L.P.
