  1. The option was granted pursuant to the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. 1/12th of the total number of shares of common stock subject to the option vest monthly following May 28, 2026, the date of grant. In the event the next occurring annual meeting of the Issuer's stockholders occurs prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant, any remaining unvested portion of the option will vest on the date of such annual meeting of the Issuer's stockholders, subject to Jake Simson's continuous service to the Issuer through each vesting date. RA Capital Management, L.P. (the "Adviser") is the investment manager for RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. (the "Fund"), RA Capital Nexus Fund, L.P. (the "Nexus Fund") and a separately managed account (the "Account"). The general partner of the Adviser is RA Capital Management GP, LLC (the "Adviser GP"), of which Dr. Peter Kolchinsky and Mr. Rajeev Shah are the managing members. Each of the Adviser, the Adviser GP, the Fund, the Nexus Fund, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities, except to the extent of its or his respective pecuniary interest therein. Under Mr. Simson's arrangement with the Adviser, Mr. Simson holds the option for the benefit of the Fund, the Nexus Fund, and the Account. Mr. Simson is obligated to turn over to the Adviser any net cash or stock received upon exercise of the option, which will offset advisory fees owed by the Fund, the Nexus Fund, and the Account to the Adviser. The Reporting Persons therefore disclaim beneficial ownership of the option and underlying common stock.

beneficial ownership financial
"disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities, except to the extent of its or his respective pecuniary interest therein."
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
separately managed account financial
"RA Capital Nexus Fund, L.P. (the "Nexus Fund") and a separately managed account (the "Account")."
A separately managed account (SMA) is a personalized investment portfolio owned by a single investor and run by a professional manager who buys and sells securities on that investor’s behalf. It matters to investors because an SMA offers tailored asset selection, tax handling, and transparency—like hiring a personal chef who prepares meals to your dietary needs rather than sharing a set menu—so you can align holdings with your goals and see exactly what you own.
