    <amountBeneficiallyOwned>Row 9 of each Reporting Person's cover page to this Schedule 13G sets forth the equivalent number of American Depository Shares ("ADSs") of the Issuer beneficially owned by such Reporting Person as of March 31, 2025 and is incorporated by reference. Each ADS represents 8 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

The Fund directly holds 48,088,896 non-voting Ordinary Shares (or the equivalent of 6,011,112 ADSs) that the Fund has the right to redesignate as 48,088,896 Ordinary Shares ("Non-Voting Ordinary Shares"), subject to a Beneficial Ownership Blocker (as defined below).

The Non-Voting Ordinary Shares may be redesignated as Ordinary Shares at the election of the holder (the "Redesignation Right"). The agreement governing the terms of the Redesignation Right contains a provision (the "Beneficial Ownership Blocker"), which precludes the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares from being redesignated to the extent that, following the election of such redesignation, the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person acting together with the holder as a "group" (as defined in the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")), would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding (including any Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs).

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 Ordinary Shares 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 other than for the purpose of determining their obligations under Section 13(d) of the Act, and the filing of this Schedule 13G 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.
