Each of the Avista Affiliates disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported on this line item, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein, if any.

4. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Common Stock. Vesting occurs in three substantially equal annual installments, beginning November 1, 2023.

5. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Common Stock. The RSUs shall vest in full on the earlier of (i) the date of the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders following the grant date and (ii) the first anniversary of the grant date.

6. Represents stock options granted to Mr. Tamaroff in his capacity as a director of the Issuer, which stock options vest and become exercisable in full on the earlier of (i) the date of the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders following the grant date and (ii) the first anniversary of the grant date.

7. In accordance with the letter agreement, dated March 23, 2022, by and among the Issuer, Avista Acquisition LP II, a Cayman Islands limited partnership ("Avista Sponsor"), and other parties (the "Letter Agreement"), if the Triggering Event (as defined in the Letter Agreement) has not occurred during the Earnout Period (as defined in the Letter Agreement), 1,293,299 shares of common stock will be automatically forfeited to the Issuer for no consideration.

8. As a result of the liquidation and distribution of all of the assets of the Avista Sponsor to its limited partners, ACP V Onshore and ACP V Offshore (the "Avista Sponsor Liquidating Distribution"), and pursuant to a Joinder to the Letter Agreement entered into on December 9, 2022 between ACP V Onshore, ACP V Offshore, Avista Sponsor and the Issuer, ACP V Onshore directly holds 595,508 of the shares of common stock subject to forfeiture pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, and ACP V Offshore holds 697,791 of the shares of common stock subject to forfeiture pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement.
