Explanation of Responses:
(1) This Form 3 is being filed solely due to the entry by Elanco Animal Health Incorporated ("Elanco") and Knight Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub") into Support Agreements (each, a "Support Agreement") with certain stockholders of Kindred Biosciences, Inc. ("KindredBio"). The Support Agreements were entered into in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of June 15, 2021, by and among Elanco, Merger Sub and KindredBio. For additional information regarding the Support Agreements and the Merger Agreement, see the Schedule 13D filed by Elanco and Merger Sub (together, the "Reporting Persons") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 25, 2021 (the "Schedule 13D").
(2) Merger Sub is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Elanco. As a result of certain provisions contained in the Support Agreements, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock covered by the Support Agreements and beneficially owned by the stockholders party thereto (an aggregate of 6,846,657 shares, which represent approximately 15.10% of KindredBio's total outstanding shares as of June 14, 2021, based on the representations made by KindredBio in the Merger Agreement) for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
(3) Each of the Reporting Persons declare that the filing of this Form 3 shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of any securities reported in this Form 3.
(4) Generally, upon the exercise of any security convertible or exchangeable for any common stock of KindredBio by the stockholders party to the Support Agreements, such shares of common stock acquired upon exercise thereof shall be subject to the Support Agreements and the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of such additional shares of common stock, if any. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim any beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein, and the Reporting Persons do not have any pecuniary interest (as defined in Rule 16a-1(a)(2) of the Exchange Act) in any of the shares subject to the Support Agreements.
