Explanation of Responses:

1. The Series B convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of the Issuer's common stock at any time at the holder's election, or automatically upon the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering, and has no expiration date. This Form 3 reflects that, on June 11, 2021, the Issuer effected a one-for-9.2595 reverse stock split of its common stock, as a result of which each share of Series B convertible preferred stock became convertible into 0.108 shares of the Issuer's common stock.

2. These securities are directly owned by certain private investment vehicles managed by Redmile Group, LLC ("Redmile") and may be deemed beneficially owned by Redmile as investment manager of such private investment vehicles. The reported securities may also be deemed beneficially owned by Jeremy Green as the principal of Redmile. Each of Redmile and Mr. Green (the "Reporting Persons") disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. This report shall not be deemed an admission that such Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of the securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
