(a) and (b)

1. Sponsor Securities. As of the date hereof, Forbion Growth Sponsor FEAC I B.V. (the “Sponsor”) may be deemed to beneficially own 5,502,338 Common Shares, consisting of (a) 3,765,932 Common Shares and (b) 1,736,406 Warrants, with each Warrant exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Common Share, subject to adjustment (collectively, the “Sponsor Securities”). The Sponsor Securities represent 10.4% of the Issuer’s total Common Shares, calculated based on a total of (i) approximately 50,973,888 Common Shares outstanding as of October 30, 2024 (consisting of 44,215,577 shares outstanding as of September 6, 2024, as reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer on September 10, 2024, plus an aggregate of 6,758,311 issued in the Private Placement, as defined and described herein) plus (ii) 1,736,406 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants held by the Sponsor.

J.M. Bos, C. Lesser, S. Slootweg and W.S.J. Joustra are directors of the Sponsor and have shared voting and investment discretion with respect to the Sponsor Securities and may be deemed to have indirect shared beneficial ownership of the Sponsor Securities held by the Sponsor. J. M. Bos, C. Lesser, S. Slootweg and W.S.J. Joustra each disclaims beneficial ownership over the Sponsor Securities except to the extent of his proportionate pecuniary interest therein.

Forbion Growth Opportunities Fund I Cooperatief U.A. (“Forbion Cooperatief”) wholly owns the Sponsor and therefore the Sponsor shares the voting and investment power over the Sponsor Securities held by it with Forbion Cooperatief and, indirectly, with Forbion Cooperatief’s sole director, Forbion Growth Management B.V. (“Forbion Management”), which exercises voting and investment power through its investment committee (the “Investment Committee”), consisting of S. Slootweg, M. A. van Osch, G. J.

Except as set forth in this Item 5, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons named in Schedule A beneficially owns any Sponsor Securities.

2. FGOF Securities. As of the date hereof, Forbion Cooperatief may be deemed to beneficially own 9,201,434 Common Shares, consisting of (a) the Sponsor Securities and (b) 3,032,430 Common Shares and 666,666 Warrants held by Forbion Cooperatief, with each Warrant exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Common Share (collectively, the “FGOF Securities”). The Sponsor Securities and FGOF Securities collectively represent 17.2% of the Issuer’s total Common Shares, calculated based on a total of (i)  approximately 50,973,888 Common Shares outstanding as of October 30, 2024 (consisting of 44,215,577 shares outstanding as of September 6, 2024, as reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer on September 10, 2024, plus an aggregate of 6,758,311 issued in the Private Placement, as defined and described herein) plus (ii) 2,403,072 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

Forbion Management is the sole director of Forbion Cooperatief and therefore shares voting and investment power with Forbion Cooperatief over the Sponsor Securities and FGOF Securities.

None of the members of the Investment Committee has individual voting and investment power with respect to the Sponsor Securities and the FGOF Securities, and each such member disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his or her proportionate pecuniary interest therein.
