Explanation of Responses:

1. All outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted into Common Stock upon the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering (the "IPO"), for no additional consideration.

2. Upon the closing of the IPO the Warrants to purchase Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted on a 6.986-for-1 basis into Warrants to purchase Common Stock, and the exercise price automatically adjusted to $6.99 per share, pursuant to the terms of such Warrants. This transaction is reported on Form 4 solely for the purpose of reflecting such changes.

3. The Warrant is immediately exercisable.

4. The Reporting Person also indirectly beneficially owns 21,471 shares of Common Stock held by Domain Associates, LLC.
