F1: On June 11, 2020, the Reporting Person was granted an award of 218,141 restricted stock units with performance based vesting conditions, which vest in equal installments on June 11, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and are linked to the achievement of a relative total shareholder return of the Issuer's common stock from June 11, 2020 to the earlier of (i) June 11, 2021 or (ii) upon a change of control (measured relative to the Nasdaq Biotechnology index). The target number of the restricted stock units that may be earned was reported on the date of grant; the maximum amount is 150% of the number then reported. As a result of the Issuer's performance based on such performance targets, the Reporting Person earned 150% of the target amount, subject to continuation of employment through the remaining vesting dates. Accordingly, the reported transaction reflects the acquisition of 109,070 additional performance restricted stock units earned above the target grant.
