Fairmount Healthcare Fund II GP LLC is the general partner of Fund II. The controlling persons of Fairmount are Mr. Harwin and Mr. Kiselak. Fairmount serves as investment adviser for Fund I and Fund II (together, the “Funds”) and may be deemed a beneficial owner, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer held by the Funds. The Funds have delegated to Fairmount the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of all securities held in the Funds’ portfolios, including the shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Shares reported herein. Because the Funds have divested voting and investment power over the reported securities and cannot revoke such delegation on less than 61 days’ notice, the Funds disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act and therefore disclaim any obligation to report ownership of the reported securities under Section 13(d) of the Act. As managing members of Fairmount, Mr. Harwin and Mr. Kiselak may be deemed beneficial owners, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by Fairmount. Fairmount, Mr. Harwin, and Mr. Kiselak disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G Statement (the “Statement”) other than for the purpose of determining their obligations under Section 13(d) of the Act, and the filing of the Statement shall not be deemed an admission that any of Fairmount, Mr. Harwin, or Mr. Kiselak is the beneficial owner of such securities for any other purpose.
