The information required by Items 4(a) - (c) and set forth in Rows 5 through 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person.
As of the date of this report, the Farallon Funds hold an aggregate of: (i) 1,140,510 Shares; (ii) 510,205 Class A Warrants (the "Class A Warrants"), each of which currently is exercisable, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below), to purchase one Share; and (iii) 510,205 Class B Warrants (the "Class B Warrants" and together with the Class A Warrants, the "Warrants"), each of which is exercisable beginning on November 15, 2026, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, to purchase one Share.
The terms of the Warrants provide that the Warrants may not be exercised to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, more than 4.99% of the Shares then issued and outstanding (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation"). Due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the fact that the Class B Warrants are not exercisable until November 15, 2026, in providing the beneficial ownership information set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have assumed that the aggregate 1,020,410 Warrants held by the Farallon Funds are not exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof and therefore do not confer on the Reporting Persons beneficial ownership of any underlying Shares.
The Shares reported hereby for the respective Farallon Funds are held directly by the respective Farallon Funds.

The FCIP V General Partner, as the general partner of FCIP V, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such Shares held by FCIP V. The F5MI General Partner, as the general partner of F5MI, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such Shares held by F5MI. Each of the Farallon Individual Reporting Persons, as a managing member or senior managing member, as the case may be, of the Farallon General Partner, and as a manager or senior manager, as the case may be, of the FCIP V General Partner and the F5MI General Partner, in each case with the power to exercise investment discretion, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such Shares held by the Farallon Funds. Each of the Farallon General Partner, the FCIP V General Partner, the F5MI General Partner and the Farallon Individual Reporting Persons hereby disclaims any beneficial ownership of any such Shares. | |
