Id	Content
F1	Subject to the Reporting Person continuing to be a Service Provider (as defined in the Issuer's 2024 Equity Incentive Plan) through each applicable date, one thirty-sixth (1/36th) of the shares subject to the option shall vest each month following the Vesting Commencement Date on the same day of the month as the Vesting Commencement Date (and if there is no corresponding day, on the last day of the month). "Vesting Commencement Date" shall mean March 21, 2024.
F2	Under the Reporting Person's arrangement with RA Capital Management, L.P. (the "Adviser"), the Reporting Person holds the option for the benefit of the RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. (the "Fund"), RA Capital Nexus II Fund, L.P. (the "Nexus II Fund") and a separately managed account (the "Account"). The Reporting Person is obligated to turn over to the Adviser any net cash or stock received from the option, which will offset advisory fees owed by the Fund, the Nexus II Fund and the Account to the Adviser. The Reporting Person therefore disclaims beneficial ownership of the option and underlying common stock.
