This statement is being filed on behalf of LF Woodford Equity Income Fund (the “
Woodford Fund
”). Woodford Investment
Management Ltd (the “
Manager
”) is the Manager of the Woodford Fund, providing services to the Woodford Fund
and Link Fund Solutions, the operator of the Woodford Fund. Pursuant to a Management Agreement between the Woodford Fund and the
Manager (the “
Management Agreement
”), the Manager has investment discretion and voting power over securities
held of record by the Woodford Fund, including the Common Stock. As a result, the Manager may be deemed to be the beneficial owner
of such Common Stock. Neil Woodford is the Head of Investment for the Manager, and as such, may be deemed to beneficially own
the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Manager. The Woodford Fund is also a beneficial owner of such Common Stock because,
pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, it may give the Manager disposition and voting instructions for the Woodford
Fund’s securities, including the Common Stock. Furthermore, the Management Agreement may be terminated by the Woodford Fund
at any time upon 60 days’ notice.
(2)
Pursuant to a voting agreement between the Manager, acting as agent for and on behalf of the Woodford Fund, and the Issuer, the
Woodford Fund delivered to the Issuer a duly executed irrevocable proxy. The proxy appoints any designee of the Issuer as the
sole and exclusive attorney and proxy of the Woodford Fund to represent the Woodford Fund and to vote at every meeting of the
stockholders of the Issuer (including any actions by written consent) with respect to all the shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Woodford Fund in excess of 19.5% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company in the same proportion
as the shares voted by all other stockholders (excluding the Woodford Fund) voting on or consenting to such matters. Accordingly,
the Reporting Person only has voting power with respect to the shares of Common Stock it beneficially owns up to and including
that 19.5% threshold, or 7,073,606 shares of Common Stock based on (i) 35,367,191 outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
as of April 15, 2019 as reported in the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, filed with the SEC on April 30, 2019
