Explanation of Responses:

1. This Form 4 reports securities disposed pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of September 8, 2025, by and among Issuer, Novartis AG, a company limited by shares (Aktiengesellschaft) incorporated under the laws of Switzerland ("Parent"), and Torino Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on October 28, 2025, Merger Sub completed a cash tender offer to acquire all of the shares of common stock of the Issuer, par value $0.0001 (the "Shares"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (the "Effective Time"), in exchange for $48.00 in cash per Share, subject to any applicable withholding of taxes (the "Merger Consideration").

2. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each stock option that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically canceled and terminated and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the applicable exercise price per Share of such option and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares issuable upon exercise of such option or portion thereof, subject to any applicable withholding of taxes.
