Explanation of Responses:
(1) Disposed of pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between SVB Financial Group ("SVB") and the Issuer, dated as of January 4, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer was merged with and into SVB, with SVB as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"), effective July 1, 2021. Pursuant to the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Issuer was converted into the right to receive, without interest, 0.0228 shares of SVB common stock and $2.10 in cash. The closing price of one share of SVB common stock on the Nasdaq on the last trading day prior to the effectiveness of the Merger was $556.43. As a result of the Merger, the reporting person no longer beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock of the Issuer.
