| (d) | Within the last five years, neither Novo Holdings A/S, the Foundation, nor any person named in the updated Schedule I has been convicted in any criminal proceedings. |

Item 3 amends and supplements Item 3 in the Schedule to reflect sales of the Issuer’s stock during the past 60 days, as follows:
On July 13, 2022, Novo Holdings A/S sold 800,000 shares at $2.00 per share to its broker as a “market maker” under Rule 144(f) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
