F1	Represents the grant of performance-based restricted stock units (Performance RSUs) on March 6, 2020. Fifty percent (50%) of the Performance RSUs vested on June 15, 2022, upon achievement of certain milestones in connection with the Company's development programs. The balance vests in eight equal quarterly installments, subject to continued service with the Issuer. Each Performance RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock of OptiNose, Inc.
