Explanation of Responses:

1. No shares were sold - these shares were withheld by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding requirements in connection with the vesting of restricted share units.

2. These shares are held in a trust for the benefit of the reporting person's family members, excluding the reporting person. The reporting person's spouse is trustee of the trust. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, and the inclusion of the securities held by the trust in this report and prior Section 16 filings by the reporting person is not an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of these securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

3. Each restricted share unit represents the contingent right to receive one common share of Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Co Ltd.

4. The reporting person was granted 43,800 restricted share units on November 25, 2019, vesting in four equal installments on November 25, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 subject to the reporting person's continued service with the issuer at each vesting date.

5. Not applicable.
