(a)

Amount beneficially owned:

 

As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, the Reporting Persons held 15,946 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) convertible for an aggregate of approximately 1,063,120 Shares. Each share of the Series A Preferred is convertible into 66 and 2/3 Shares. The Series A Preferred may not be converted if, after such conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, more than 9.99% of the number of Shares then issued and outstanding (the “Series A Blocker”). As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, the Series A Blocker limits the aggregate conversion of the Series A Preferred by the Reporting Persons to 322,903 out of the 1,063,120 Shares underlying the Series A Preferred owned by the Reporting Persons in the aggregate. In providing beneficial ownership described herein, the Reporting Persons have assumed that certain shares of Series A Preferred convertible into 322,903 Shares owned by BVF have been converted and the remaining shares of Series A Preferred owned by the Reporting Persons in the aggregate would not be converted due to the Series A Blocker.

 

As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, (i) BVF beneficially owned 1,314,016 Shares, including 322,903 shares of Common Stock underlying certain shares of Series A Preferred, and excluding 238,392 shares of Common Stock underlying certain shares of Series A Preferred, (ii) BVF2 beneficially owned 760,005 Shares, excluding 413,221 shares of Common Stock underlying certain shares of Series A Preferred, and (iii) Trading Fund OS beneficially owned 127,481 Shares, excluding 67,870 shares of Common Stock underlying certain shares of Series A Preferred.

BVF GPH, as the sole member of each of BVF GP and BVF2 GP, may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,074,021 Shares beneficially owned in the aggregate by BVF and BVF2.

 

Partners, as the investment manager of BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS, and the sole member of Partners OS, may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,202,315 Shares beneficially owned in the aggregate by BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS and held in a certain Partners managed account (the “Partners Managed Account”), including 813 Shares held in the Partners Managed Account, and excluding 20,734 Shares underlying certain shares of Series A Preferred held in the Partners Managed Account.

 

BVF Inc., as the general partner of Partners, may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,202,315 Shares beneficially owned by Partners.

 

Mr. Lampert, as a director and officer of BVF Inc., may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,202,315 Shares beneficially owned by BVF Inc.

 

The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of any Shares owned by another Reporting Person. BVF GP disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by BVF. BVF2 GP disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by BVF2. Partners OS disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by Trading Fund OS. BVF GPH disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by BVF and BVF2. Each of Partners, BVF Inc. and Mr. Lampert disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS and held in the Partners Managed Account, and the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of any such securities.

The following percentages are base d on a denominator that is the sum of: (a) 21,722,349 Shares outstanding as of November 3, 2021 as disclosed in Exhibit 99.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2021 and (b) 322,903 Shares that may be acquired upon the conversion of certain shares of Series A Preferred, as applicable.
