Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
| (a) | NEA 9 is the record owner of the NEA 9 Securities. As the sole general partner of NEA 9, NEA Partners 9 may be deemed to own beneficially the NEA 9 Securities. As the general partner of NEA Partners 9, Barris may be deemed to own beneficially the NEA 9 Securities. |
NEA 10 is the record owner of the NEA 10 Securities. As the sole general partner of NEA 10, NEA Partners 10 may be deemed to own beneficially the NEA 10 Securities. As the general partners of NEA Partners 10, each of the General Partners may be deemed to own beneficially the NEA 10 Securities.
By virtue of their relationship as affiliated entities, whose controlling entities have overlapping individual controlling persons, each of NEA 9, NEA Partners 9, NEA 10 and NEA Partners 10 may be deemed to share the power to direct the disposition and vote of the NEA 9 Securities and the NEA 10 Securities.
Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the NEA 9 Securities and the NEA 10 Securities other than those shares which such person owns of record.
The percentage of outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is set forth on Line 13 of such Reporting Person's cover sheet. Such percentage was calculated, for each Reporting Person other than Barrett and Sandell, based on the 17,641,291 shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding, which includes (i) 17,224,624 shares of Common Stock (the "10-Q Shares") reported to be outstanding as of July 31, 2016 on the Issuer's Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2016, (ii) the NEA 9 Warrant Shares and (iii) the NEA 10 Warrant Shares. The percentage set forth on the cover sheet for each of Barrett and Sandell is calculated based on 17,336,116 shares of Common Stock, which includes (A) the 10-Q Shares and (B) the NEA 10 Warrant Shares.
| (b) | Regarding the number of shares as to which such person has: |
| (i) | sole power to vote or to direct the vote: See line 7 of cover sheets |
| (ii) | shared power to vote or to direct the vote: See line 8 of cover sheets |
| (iii) | sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition: See line 9 of cover sheets. |
