As such, MVA is not controlled by Boxer Capital, Boxer Management or Joseph Lewis. MVA is primarily engaged in the business of investing in securities. Aaron Davis and Ivan Lieberburg are citizens of the United States and are employed by Tavistock Life Sciences Company. Aaron Davis’s and Ivan Lieberburg’s present principal occupation or employment is with Tavistock Life Sciences Company. By virtue of these relationships and pursuant to the SEC’s beneficial ownership rules, Boxer Capital, Boxer Management, MVA, Aaron Davis and Ivan Lieberburg may be deemed to be members of a group, consisting of the Reporting Persons.

The address of each of Boxer Capital, MVA Investors, Aaron Davis and Ivan Lieberburg for purposes of this filing is: 440 Stevens Ave, Suite 100, Solana Beach, CA, 92075. The address of each of Boxer Asset Management and Joseph Lewis for purposes of this filing is: c/o Cay House P.O. Box N-7776 E.P. Taylor Drive Lyford Cay, New providence, Bahamas.
