Explanation of Responses:

1. On June 18, 2023, the Issuer entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), with Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation (the "Parent"), and Durning Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the "Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (such merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Merger") with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent.

2. Upon the closing (the "Closing") of the Merger on August 9, 2023, each share of the Issuer's Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), was either (i) purchased for $48.00 per share (the "Offer Price"), without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes or (ii) automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash without interest, equal to the Offer Price, less any applicable withholding taxes. Immediately prior to the Closing, any repurchase rights of the Issuer or other similar restrictions on the Common Stock fully lapsed and all Common Stock became fully vested.

3. RA Capital Management, L.P. (the "Adviser") is the investment manager for RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. (the "Fund") and RA Capital Nexus Fund II, L.P. (the "Nexus Fund II"). The general partner of the Adviser is RA Capital Management GP, LLC (the "Adviser GP"), of which Dr. Peter Kolchinsky and Mr. Rajeev Shah are the managing members. The Adviser, the Adviser GP, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

4. Held directly by the Fund.

5. Held directly by the Nexus Fund II.

6. The Issuer's Stock Option (the "Option") is fully vested and exercisable.

7. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each Option to purchase shares of Common Stock that was outstanding but not vested as of immediately prior to the Closing (the "Unvested Option"), became fully vested and exercisable (the "Vested Option"). Each Vested Option was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, less any applicable tax withholding, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Offer price over the exercise price per share of Common Stock underlying such Option by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Option. Except if the exercise price per share of Common Stock of the Option was equal to or greater than the Offer price, such Option was cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof.

8. Under Dr. Jake Simson's agreement with the Adviser, Dr. Simson holds the options for the benefit of the Fund and the Nexus Fund II. Dr. Simson is obligated to turn over to the Adviser any net cash or stock received upon sale of the common stock underlying the option and restricted stock units, which will offset advisory fees owed by the Fund to the Adviser. The Reporting Persons therefore disclaim beneficial ownership of the option and respective underlying common stock except to the extent of their pecuniary interest.

Remarks:

Dr. Jake Simson, a Partner of the Adviser, serves on the Issuer's board of directors.
