The Fund directly holds (i) 6,869,412 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 7,104,853 Pre-funded warrants ("Pre-Funded Warrants"), through which it has the right to acquire 7,104,853 shares of Common Stock subject to a Beneficial Ownership Blocker (as defined below). The RA Capital Nexus Fund II, L.P. (the "Nexus Fund II") directly holds 113,175 shares of Common Stock.

The shares reported herein for the Reporting Persons represent (i) 6,982,587 shares of Common Stock held directly, and (ii) 998,149 shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Persons beneficially own based on the right to acquire, upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership blocker ("Beneficial Ownership Blocker"), which precludes the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that, following exercise, the Reporting Persons, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the Common Stock outstanding. The Reporting Persons are currently prohibited from exercising the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership of more than 7,980,736 shares of Common Stock.

The information required by this item with respect to each Reporting Person is set forth in Rows 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover page to this Schedule 13G/A. The beneficial ownership percentages reported are based on (i) 78,889,107 outstanding shares of Common Stock, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2024, plus (ii) 998,149 shares of Common Stock of which the Reporting Person may acquire beneficial ownership upon the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants, as limited by the Beneficial Ownership Blocker.

RA Capital Healthcare Fund GP, LLC is the general partner of the Fund and RA Capital Nexus Fund II GP, LLC is the general partner of the Nexus Fund II. The general partner of RA Capital is RA Capital Management GP, LLC, of which Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah are the controlling persons. RA Capital serves as investment adviser for the Fund and the Nexus Fund II and may be deemed a beneficial owner, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), of any securities of the Issuer held by the Fund and the Nexus Fund II. The Fund and the Nexus Fund II have delegated to RA Capital the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of all securities held in the Fund's and the Nexus Fund II's portfolios, including the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock reported herein. Because the Fund and the Nexus Fund II have divested voting and investment power over the reported securities they hold and may not revoke that delegation on less than 61 days' notice, the Fund and the Nexus Fund II disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities they hold for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act. As managers of RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah may be deemed beneficial owners, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by RA Capital. RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G/A other than for the purpose of determining their obligations under Section 13(d) of the Act, and the filing of this Schedule 13G/A shall not be deemed an admission that either RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, or Mr. Shah is the beneficial owner of such securities for any other purpose.
