of 667,816 shares of Common Stock owned by certain private investment vehicles managed by Redmile Group, LLC, which shares of

The reported securities may also be deemed beneficially owned by Jeremy C. Green as the principal of Redmile Group, LLC. Redmile

to beneficially own 1,799,999 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the
“Warrants”). Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, a holder of a Warrant does not have the right to exercise any
portion of the Warrant held by such holder, and the Issuer shall not effect any exercise of any Warrant, to the extent (but only
to the extent) that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates,
and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially
own in excess of 9.99% (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Beneficial
Ownership Blocker”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be changed at a holder’s election upon 61 days’
notice to the Issuer. The 1,381,077 shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Redmile Group, LLC in this Schedule
13G represents 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated in accordance with footnote (2) below).
