Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger ("Effective Time"), each share of capital stock of the Company will be converted into the right to receive a number of Shares in accordance with the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Voting Agreement Also on June 6, 2026, in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Issuer, the Company and Merger Sub entered into a voting agreement (the "Voting Agreement") with Casdin Private Growth Equity Fund II, L.P., Casdin Private Growth Equity Fund, L.P., Casdin Partners Master Fund, L.P. and Eli Casdin (collectively, the "Casdin Parties"). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Casdin Parties have agreed, among other things, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to: (i) vote their owned securities of record of the Issuer: (1) in favor of the approval of (i) the issuance of Shares to holders of Company stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (ii) an amendment to the Issuer's charter pursuant to which the name of Issuer will be changed to "Treeline Biosciences Holdings, Inc.", (iii) a reverse stock split of all outstanding Shares at a reverse stock split ratio mutually agreed to by the Company and the Issuer, and (iv) the adoption of the Post-Closing Equity Incentive Plan and Post-Closing ESPP (each as defined in the Merger Agreement); (2) in favor of any proposal to adjourn to a later date if there is not a quorum or sufficient affirmative votes (in person or by proxy) for approval of any such matters on the date on which the meeting is held; (3) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or a breach of a covenant, representation or warranty or any other material obligation or agreement of the Issuer contained in the Merger Agreement; (4) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the fulfillment of the Issuer's or Merger Sub's conditions to closing under the Merger Agreement; and (5) against any third party acquisition transactions; and (ii) comply with certain restrictions on the disposition of such shares, in each case subject to the terms and conditions contained therein. In the event that the Special Committee of the Issuer's board of directors effects a Parent Change in Recommendation (as defined in the Merger Agreement): (i) 37.5% of the Casdin Parties' shares of Issuer capital stock entitled to vote with respect to a matter that is the subject of Parent Change in Recommendation (an "Applicable Matter") are released from the voting requirements and may be voted in the Casdin Parties' discretion; and (ii) if, the aggregate covered shares subject to voting requirements under the Voting Agreement and any covered shares subject to similar voting agreements entered into with other stockholders of the Issuer in connection with the Merger Agreement represent more than 30% of the outstanding shares of Issuer capital stock entitled to vote on the Applicable Matter, then a number of shares will be released on a pro rata basis (across all such stockholders) such that the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Issuer capital stock subject to the voting requirements in the Voting Agreement and all other voting agreements is reduced to approximately 30% of the outstanding shares of Issuer capital stock. The Voting Agreement further provides that nothing therein restricts any stockholder (or its affiliates or designees) who serves as a director, board observer or officer of Parent from acting or voting in such capacity in accordance with his or her fiduciary duties. Actions taken in such capacity, including supporting or advocating for a change in recommendation or a superior proposal, will not constitute a breach of the Voting Agreement, which applies solely to such person in his, her or its capacity as a stockholder. The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Voting Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D, and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Reporting Persons expect to review from time to time their investment in the Issuer and may, depending on the Issuer's business, assets, operations, financial condition and/or prospects, legal, regulatory and/or contractual restrictions (such as the expiration of the cooling-off period and the transfer restrictions in the Voting Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreement) and other factors: (i) purchase additional Shares, options or other securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (ii) sell all or a portion of the Shares, options or other securities now beneficially owned or hereafter acquired by them; (iii) enter into hedging transactions with respect to the Shares, options or other securities of the Issuer now beneficially owned or hereafter acquired by them; (iv) engage in communications with, without limitation, one or more holders of the Issuer's securities or derivatives, officers of the Issuer, members of the Issuer's board of directors, advisors, potential strategic partners, investment professionals, and/or other persons regarding the Merger or the Issuer more generally, including but not limited to its operations, governance, and control; and (v) engage in such other proposals as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate under the circumstances, including plans or proposals which may relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
