|
|
As of the close of business on December 31, 2016, the Reporting Persons held warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 1,111,110 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants may not be exercised if, after such exercise, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), more than 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. In providing beneficial ownership described herein, the Reporting Persons have assumed that 514,627 Warrants held by BVF and 20,839 Warrants held by BVF2 would be exercised to acquire 535,466 shares of Common Stock underling the Warrants and that 245,835 Warrants held by BVF2, and 329,809 Warrants held by the Partners Managed Accounts (defined below) would not be exercised, which would bring the Reporting Persons to the aggregate 9.99% limitation.

|
|
Mr. Lampert, as a director and officer of BVF Inc., may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,643,899 shares of Common Stock 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 of Common Stock owned by another Reporting Person. Partners OS disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Trading Fund OS. Each of Partners, BVF Inc. and Mr. Lampert disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by BVF, BVF2, Trading Fund OS, and the Partners Managed Accounts, 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.
