Explanation of Responses:

1. This Form 4 reports securities disposed of pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 15, 2023 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, Coherus BioSciences, Inc. ("Coherus"), Crimson Merger Sub I, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Coherus ("Merger Sub I"), and Crimson Merger Sub II, LLC, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Coherus ("Merger Sub II"), pursuant to which Merger Sub I merged with and into the Issuer effective as of September 8, 2023 (the "Effective Time"), with Surface surviving such merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Coherus (the "First Merger"), and, as part of the same overall transaction, promptly after the First Merger, the surviving corporation of the First Merger merged with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II surviving such merger.

2. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Issuer was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) 0.1960 (the "Exchange Ratio") shares of common stock of Coherus and (ii) one contingent value right (each, a "CVR") representing a contractual right to receive contingent future conditional payments pursuant to the terms of a Contingent Value Rights Agreement by and between Coherus and Computershare Inc.

3. At the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of the Issuer's Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that had an exercise price per share equal to or less than $1.0354 (any such option, an "In-the-Money Option") was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) 0.1960 shares of common stock of Coherus and (ii) a number of CVRs equal to the number of shares of Surface common stock underlying such In-the-Money Option.
