| Item 4. | Ownership |
| (a) | Amount beneficially owned: |
As of the close of business on December 31, 2020, the Reporting Persons held 910,750 Class A Warrants (the “Class A Warrants”) exercisable into an aggregate of 910,750 Shares. Each Class A Warrant has an exercise price per Share equal to $13.20 and expires on April 16, 2024. The Class A Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, provided that the holder will be prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from exercising the Class A Warrants for Shares to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the total number of Shares then issued and outstanding (the “Class A Blocker”). As of the close of business on December 31, 2020, the Class A Blocker limits the aggregate exercise of Class A Warrants by the Reporting Persons to zero out of 910,750 Shares underlying the Class A Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons in the aggregate. BVF holds Class A Warrants to purchase 450,314 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Class A Blocker. BVF2 holds Class A Warrants to purchase 363,810 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Class A Blocker. Trading Fund OS holds Class A Warrants to purchase 64,996 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Class A Blocker. The Reporting Persons through a certain Partners managed account (the “Partners Managed Account”) holds Class A Warrants to purchase 31,630 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Class A Blocker.
As of the close of business on December 31, 2020, the Reporting Persons held 1,000,000 Class B Warrants (the “Class B Warrants”) exercisable into an aggregate of 1,000,000 Shares. Each Class B Warrant has an exercise price per Share equal to $15.00 and will expire on the date that is the earlier of (a) the date that is thirty (30) calendar days following the date on which the Issuer issues a press release regarding topline data from its Phase III clinical trial of mavorixafor for the treatment of WHIM syndrome (or, if such date is not a business day, the following business day) and (b) November 28, 2024. The Class B Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, provided that the holder will be prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from exercising the Class B Warrants for Shares to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 9.99% of the total number of Shares then issued and outstanding (the “Class B Blocker”). As of the close of business on December 31, 2020, the Class B Blocker limits the aggregate exercise of Class B Warrants by the Reporting Persons to zero out of 1,000,000 Shares underlying the Class B Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons in the aggregate. BVF holds Class B Warrants to purchase 518,856 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Class B Blocker. BVF2 holds Class B Warrants to purchase 385,449 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Class B Blocker. Trading Fund OS holds Class B Warrants to purchase 66,236 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Class B Blocker. The Reporting Persons through the Partners Managed Account holds Class B Warrants to purchase 29,459 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Class B Blocker.

As of the close of business on December 31, 2020, the Reporting Persons held 1,073,000 Pre-Funded Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) exercisable into an aggregate of 1,073,000 Shares. Each Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price per Share equal to $0.001 per Share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and do not expire. However, under the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Issuer may not effect the exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Pre-Funded Warrant, which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause (i) the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, or (ii) the combined voting power of the Issuer’s securities beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the combined voting power of all of the Issuer’s securities then outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Blocker”). In providing beneficial ownership described herein, the Reporting Persons have assumed that Pre-Funded Warrants held by BVF and BVF2 in the aggregate to acquire 926,724 Shares would be exercised, which would bring the Reporting Persons to the aggregate 9.99% limitation, and the remaining Pre-Funded Warrants exercisable into 32,405 Shares owned by BVF2, Pre-Funded Warrants exercisable into 76,534 Shares owned by Trading Fund OS, and the Pre-Funded Warrants exercisable into 37,337 Shares held in the Partners Managed Account, would not be exercised due to the Pre-Funded Blocker.
As of the close of business on December 31, 2020, the Reporting Persons held 500,000 Pre-Funded B Warrants (the “Pre-Funded B Warrants”) exercisable into an aggregate of 500,000 Shares. Each Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price per Share equal to $0.001 per Share. The Pre-Funded B Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and do not expire. However, under the Pre-Funded B Warrants, the Issuer may not effect the exercise of any Pre-Funded B Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Pre-Funded B Warrant, which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause (i) the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, or (ii) the combined voting power of the Issuer’s securities beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the combined voting power of all of the Issuer’s securities then outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded B Warrants (the “Pre-Funded B Blocker” and together with the Class A Blocker, the Class B Blocker and the Pre-Funded Blocker, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). As of the close of business on December 31, 2020, the Pre-Funded B Blocker limits the exercise of Pre-Funded B Warrants by the Reporting Persons to zero out of the 500,000 Shares underlying the Pre-Funded B Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons in the aggregate. BVF holds Pre-Funded B Warrants to purchase 259,739 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Pre-Funded B Blocker. BVF2 holds Pre-Funded B Warrants to purchase 204,465 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Pre-Funded B Blocker. Trading Fund OS holds Pre-Funded B Warrants to purchase 35,796 additional Shares which are excluded herein as a result of the Pre-Funded B Blocker.
