Peter Kolchinsky 

Rajeev Shah 

RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”)

The address of the principal business office of each of the Reporting Persons is: 

c/o RA Capital Management, L.P., 200 Berkeley Street, 18^th Floor, Boston MA 02116

RA Capital and the Fund are Delaware limited partnerships. Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah are United States citizens.

Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”)

Not applicable.

The Fund directly holds (1) Tranche A Warrants, through which it has the right to acquire shares of Series A-3 Convertible Preferred Stock (“A-3 Preferred Stock”), which will be convertible into 10,973,249 shares of Common Stock, (2) Tranche B Warrants, through which it has the right to acquire shares of Series A-4 Convertible Preferred Stock (“A-4 Preferred Stock”), which will be convertible into 9,975,681 shares of Common Stock, and (3) Tranche C Warrants, through which it has the right to acquire shares of Series A-5 Convertible Preferred Stock (“A-5 Preferred Stock”), which will be convertible into 15,961,089 shares of Common Stock, all of which are subject to a Beneficial Ownership Blocker (as defined below).

The A-3, A-4, and A-5 Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Preferred Stock”) are subject to a beneficial ownership blocker (“Beneficial Ownership Blocker”), which precludes the conversion of the Preferred Stock to the extent that, following conversion, the Reporting Persons, together with their affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the Common Stock outstanding. The Reporting Persons are currently prohibited from converting the Preferred Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in beneficial ownership of more than 10,472,375 shares of Common Stock.

The information required by this item with respect to each Reporting Person is set forth in Rows 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover page to this Schedule 13G/A. The percentages reported in this Schedule 13G/A are based on (i) 94,356,212 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 14, 2024, as disclosed in the Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer on August 14, 2024, and (ii) 10,472,375 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock as limited by the Beneficial Ownership Blocker.

RA Capital Healthcare Fund GP, LLC is the general partner of the Fund. The general partner of RA Capital is RA Capital Management GP, LLC, of which Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah are the controlling persons. RA Capital serves as investment adviser for the Fund and may be deemed a beneficial owner, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer held by the Fund. The Fund has delegated to RA Capital the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of all securities held in the Fund’s portfolio, including the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock reported herein. Because the Fund has divested voting and investment power over the reported securities it holds and may not revoke that delegation on less than 61 days’ notice, the Fund disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities it holds for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act. As managers of RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah may be deemed beneficial owners, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by RA Capital. RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G/A other than for the purpose of determining their obligations under Section 13(d) of the Act, and the filing of this Schedule 13G/A shall not be deemed an admission that either RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, or Mr. Shah is the beneficial owner of such securities for any other purpose.

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the Reporting Persons have ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following ¨.
