The Warrants have an exercise price of €7.50 per share and expire on the second anniversary of the date of issuance. The Reporting Persons may not exercise any portion of the Warrants held by them to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise, the Reporting Persons would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Shares immediately after exercise, which percentage may be changed at the Reporting Persons’ election to a higher or lower percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon sixty one (61) days’ notice subject to the terms of the Warrants (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

Partners OS disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by Trading Fund OS. BVF GPH disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by BVF and BVF2. Each of Partners, BVF Inc. and Mr. Lampert disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS and held in the Partners Managed Account, and the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of any such securities.
The following percentages are based on a denominator that is the sum of (i) 31,018,553 Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2022, which is the total number of Shares outstanding according to monthly information disclosed on the Issuer’s website, and (ii) certain or all of the 517,242 Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, as applicable.
