        <footnote id="F1">On February 5, 2019, the reporting person was granted an option to purchase the number of shares of common stock set forth in Box 5.  The option vests only upon the achievement of a performance-based milestone.  The performance criteria were met, resulting in vesting of the option.  Upon achievement of the milestone, 50% of the options subject to the milestone immediately vest, with the remaining options vesting in 24 equal monthly installments following the vesting commencement date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The original Form 4, filed on May 16, 2019, is being amended by this Form 4 amendment solely to correct an administrative error, which misreported the number of shares reported in Boxes 7 and 9.  As a result of this administrative error, the number of shares beneficially owned by the reporting person following the reported transaction was incorrectly reported.</footnote>
