“See Items 7-11 of the cover pages of this Amendment and Item 2 to the Original 13D.
On March 28, 2022, Mithril II and (i) M28 Capital Management LP (together with certain of its affiliates, “M28”), (ii) Polaris Venture Partners V, L.P., Polaris Venture Partners Entrepreneurs’ Fund V, L.P., Polaris Venture Partners Founders’ Fund V, L.P., Polaris Venture Partners Special Founders’ Fund V, L.P., Polaris Partners IX, L.P. and Polaris Healthcare Technology Opportunities Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Polaris”), (iii) Adimab, LLC and (iv) Population Health Equity Partners III, L.P., Population Health Equity Partners VII, L.P. and Clive Meanwell (“Population Health”), orally agreed to coordinate and cooperate in certain of their activities with regard to the Issuer, which agreement was subsequently memorialized, also on March 28, 2022, in an email circulated among representatives of such persons. That agreement provides that each such person will vote its shares of Common Stock in favor of the election of the Nominees at the 2022 Annual Meeting. By virtue of such agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be part of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act) comprised of the Reporting Persons and such other persons.
Each of the Reporting Persons, M28, Polaris (and certain affiliates), Adimab, LLC and Population Health (and certain affiliates) are filing a separate Schedule 13D (or as applicable, a Schedule 13D amendment) under the Act containing its required information, including reporting the interests in Common Stock that such persons may be deemed to beneficially own. None of the Reporting Persons assumes any responsibility for the information contained in the Schedule 13Ds or Schedule 13D amendments filed by such other persons. Based in part on information provided by or behalf of such other persons, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 54,061,1131 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 48.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on 111,251,660 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on November 15, 2021). The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership over any Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own solely by reason of the agreement reached among Mithril II, M28, Polaris, Adimab, LLC and Population Health, and beneficial ownership of any securities of the Issuer other than those reported in this Schedule 13D.
The information set forth in Item 4, Item 5(a), Item 5(b) and Item 6 of this Amendment and Exhibit 6 to this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference.”

“The information set forth in Item 4, Item 5(a) and Item 5(b) of this Amendment and Exhibit 6 to this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.”
