| Item 4. | Ownership |
| (a) | Amount beneficially owned:
Row 9 of each Reporting Person's cover page to this Schedule 13G/A sets forth the aggregate number of securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by such Reporting Person as of June 30, 2025 and is incorporated by reference.
The Fund directly holds warrants ("Warrants") exercisable for up to 1,266,143 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants contain a provision (the "Beneficial Ownership Blocker"), which precludes the exercise of the Warrants to the extent that, following exercise, the Fund, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the Common Stock outstanding. The Fund is currently prohibited from exercising a portion of the Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership of more than 1,026,937 shares of Common Stock.
RA Capital Healthcare Fund GP, LLC is the general partner of the Fund. The general partner of RA Capital is RA Capital Management GP, LLC, of which Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah are the controlling persons. RA Capital serves as investment adviser for the Fund and may be deemed a beneficial owner, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer held by the Fund. The Fund has delegated to RA Capital the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of all securities held in the Fund's portfolio, including the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock reported herein. Because the Fund has divested voting and investment power over the reported securities it holds and may not revoke that delegation on less than 61 days' notice, the Fund disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities it holds for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act. As managers of RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah may be deemed beneficial owners, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by RA Capital. RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G/A other than for the purpose of determining their obligations under Section 13(d) of the Act, and the filing of this Schedule 13G/A shall not be deemed an admission that either RA Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, or Mr. Shah is the beneficial owner of such securities for any other purpose. |
| (b) | Percent of class:
Due to the Beneficial Ownership Blocker, each Reporting Person's beneficial ownership percentage was 9.99% as of June 30, 2025. Such percentage is based upon the sum of (i) 9,252,719 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 8, 2025 and (ii) 1,026,937 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. Due to field limitations of the EDGAR filing system, the percentages listed in Row 11 of the Reporting Persons' cover pages have been rounded down to 9.9%. |
