Each of Partners, BVF Inc. and Mr. Lampert disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by BVF, BVF2, ILL10 and MSI, and the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of any such securities.
