Dr. Philipson, age 64, is a health care economist with experience across academia, government, and the private sector. Since June 2020, Dr. Philipson has been self-employed through his consulting firm, TJP Economic Consulting Inc., where he advises senior executives at biopharmaceutical and health care companies on economic and policy matters.

Dr. Philipson co-founded Precision Health Economics LLC in 2007 and served as Managing Partner until its acquisition in 2015.

Earlier in his career, he served as a senior economic advisor to the leadership of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in 2003 and 2004. He was appointed to the Key Indicator Commission of the U.S. Congress in 2012 and has served as a scientific advisor to the House of Representatives' 21st Century Cures initiative (2015) and the Biden Cancer Initiative (2017). Dr. Philipson is the Daniel Levin Chair of Public Policy Emeritus at the University of Chicago, where he held appointments in the Department of Economics, the Law School, and the Harris School of Public Policy. Dr. Philipson received a B.A. in Mathematics from Uppsala University, an M.A. in Mathematics from Claremont Graduate University, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

In connection with his appointment to the Board, Dr. Philipson will receive the following equity compensation in lieu of participating in the Company's standard cash compensation program for non-employee directors: (i) a sign-on option to purchase 90,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on June 29, 2026 (the "Grant Date"), vesting in equal quarterly installments over 36 months, subject to continued service as a director; and (ii) in lieu of cash compensation otherwise payable as an annual cash retainer and committee fees, an option to purchase 446,428 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the Grant Date, vesting in equal quarterly installments over 36 months, subject to continued service as a director.
