The reported securities may also be deemed beneficially owned by Jeremy C. Green as the principal of Redmile Group, LLC. Redmile Group, LLC and Mr. Green each disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest in such shares, if any. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Blocker (as defined below), Redmile Group, LLC may also be deemed to beneficially own 15,060,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, a holder of a Warrant does not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant held by such holder, and any such exercise shall be void ab initio, to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Beneficial Ownership Blocker”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be changed at a holder’s election upon 61 days’ notice to the Issuer. The 5,729,916 shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Redmile Group, LLC in this Schedule 13G represents 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated in accordance with footnote (2) below).
