Explanation of Responses:
(1)  The June 27, 2018 options are being rescinded and a new option is being granted in order to: (i) impose a shareholder-approval requirement for the new option grant, and (ii) remove the cash settlement feature and associated liability from the June 27, 2018 grant.
(2)  Twenty-five percent of the options were vested as of the grant date (June 27, 2018), 50% of the options will vest quarterly over two years from the grant date, and the remaining 25% will vest upon achievement of certain milestones.
(3)  Subject to stockholder approval of the option grant, the option will vest and be exercisable with respect to: (i) 25% of the underlying shares as of the grant date (January 13, 2019), (ii) 50% of the underlying shares over a two-year period (vesting ratably quarterly) from June 27, 2018, and (iii) 25% of the underlying shares upon achievement of certain milestones. If the option grant is not approved by stockholders, then the option will not be exercisable.
