| Item 4. | Ownership | |
| (a) | Amount beneficially owned:
Row 9 of each Reporting Person's cover page to this Schedule 13G sets forth the aggregate number of shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by such Reporting Person as of March 31, 2025 and is incorporated by reference.
The Reporting Persons' ownership of the Issuer's securities consists of (i) 959,248 Class A Ordinary Shares and pre-funded warrants (the "Pre-Funded Warrants") exercisable for up to 1,312,029 Class A Ordinary Shares held by VHCP III, (ii) 96,005 Class A Ordinary Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants exercisable for up to 131,263 Class A Ordinary Shares held by VHCP Co-Investment III, and (iii) 3,967,913 Class A Ordinary Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants exercisable for up to 4,577,950 Class A Ordinary Shares held by VHCP EG. The Pre-Funded Warrants contain a provision (the "Beneficial Ownership Blocker"), which precludes the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that, following exercise, VHCP III, VHCP Co-Investment III and VHCP EG, together with their affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. VHCP III, VHCP Co-Investment III and VHCP EG are currently prohibited from exercising a portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership of more than 7,031,271 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.
VHCP Management III is the general partner of VHCP III and the manager of VHCP Co-Investment III. VHCP Management EG is the general partner of VHCP EG. Messrs. Shah and Koh are the voting members of VHCP Management III and VHCP Management EG. | |
| (b) | Percent of class:
Due to the Beneficial Ownership Blocker listed in the Pre-Funded Warrants, each Reporting Person's beneficial ownership percentage was 9.99% as of March 31, 2025. Such percentage is based upon the sum of (i) 68,374,998 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer outstanding as of March 21, 2025, as reported in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2025 and (ii) 2,008,105 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Due to field limitations of the EDGAR filing system, the percentages listed in Row 11 of the Reporting Persons' cover pages have been rounded down to 9.9%. | |

| |
| (i) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote:
