(1) In connection with the Issuer's conversion from a limited liability company to a corporation, on February 12, 2015, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Issuer, ARCH Venture Fund VI, L.P. ("ARCH"), IRDO Holding Corp., an affiliate of ARCH ("IRDO"), and certain other entities affiliated with certain other of the Issuer's principal stockholders, IRDO merged with and into the Issuer and the shares of Common Stock held by IRDO immediately prior to the merger were cancelled. In exchange therefor, ARCH received, for no additional consideration, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock held by IRDO immediately prior to the merger.

ARCH Venture Partners VI, LLC (the "GPLLC"), as the sole general partner of the GPLP, may be deemed to beneficially own certain of the shares held by ARCH. The GPLLC disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares held by ARCH in which it does not have an actual pecuniary interest.
(3) The managing directors of the GPLLC, the Reporting Person, Keith Crandell and Clinton Bybee (together, the "Managing Directors"), are deemed to have voting and dispositive power over the shares held by ARCH, and may be deemed to beneficially own certain of the shares held by ARCH.
