Explanatory Note:
Due to a printer error, on February 4, 2022, a Schedule 13G was inadvertently filed by United Therapeutics Corporation and Lung Biotechnology PBC (together, the “Reporting Persons”) under the CIK of Celularity Operations Inc. as the Subject Company (the “Original Filing”). The correct Subject Company for the Original Filing was Celularity Inc., and this Schedule 13G is being filed to correct the Subject Company under which the Original Filing was made. The information contained in this Schedule 13G is the same as the Original Filing, except for this explanatory note.
