Explanation of Responses:

1. QVT Financial LP, its general partner, QVT Financial GP LLC, QVT Fund V LP and QVT Associates GP LLC, the general partner of the QVT Fund V LP (collectively, "QVT"), may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over the 75,000,000 Common Shares held by Roivant Sciences Ltd. ("Roivant") because, as shareholders of Roivant, QVT may be deemed to have dispositive power and, therefore, beneficial ownership, over the Common Shares directly held by Roivant by virtue of governance arrangements in Roivant's bye-laws, namely the appointment of an independent director (within the meaning of that term under Roivant's bye-laws) to Roivant's board of directors effective July 8, 2016. The filing of this statement shall not be deemed an admission that QVT is the beneficial owner of the securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise.

2. (continued from Footnote 1) QVT expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
