Explanation of Responses:
1. The shares of Common Stock listed in Table I were acquired by the reporting person as contingent consideration in exchange for stock of Sytera, Inc. ("Sytera") pursuant to the merger of Sytera into Sirion Therapeutics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the issuer ("Sirion Therapeutics"), as a result of the occurrence of events with respect to the development of the proprietary drug compound designated ST-602, which Sirion Therapeutics acquired as a result of the merger. In connection with the issuer's acquisition of Sirion Therapeutics, the issuer assumed Sirion Therapeutics' obligations to pay the contingent consideration owed to the former stockholders of Sytera as a result of the merger. The reporting person may receive an indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as additional contingent consideration pursuant to the merger based on the occurrence, if any, of additional events with respect to the development and commercialization of ST-602.
2. See Footnote 1.
3. Avalon Ventures VI, L.P., Avalon Ventures VI GP Fund, LLC (collectively, the "Avalon VI Funds") and Avalon Ventures VII, L.P. (the "Avalon VII Fund" and, together with the Avalon VI Funds, the "Avalon Funds") are the holders of record of all of the shares of Common Stock listed in Table I. The reporting person acts as the managing member of Avalon Ventures GP, LLC, which acts as the general partner of each of the Avalon VI Funds, and as the managing member of Avalon Ventures VII GP, LLC, which acts as the general partner of the Avalon VII Fund. In the foregoing capacities, the reporting person has full voting and investment control with respect to the shares held of record by the Avalon Funds and may, as a result, be deemed to be beneficial owner of such shares. However, the reporting person specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares held of record by the Avalon Funds except to the extent of the reporting person's economic interest therein.
