Item 4.      Ownership.

Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of pages 2 - 3 of this Schedule, which Items are incorporated by reference herein.

The securities to which this Schedule relates (the “Securities”) are owned by certain investment limited partnerships and/or pooled investment vehices for which Redmile serves as general partner and/or investment manager.  Capital Offshore Fund directly holds 4,800,491 shares. No other limited partnership and/or pooled investment vehicle for which Redmile serves as general partner and/or investment manager directly holds more than 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares. Redmile, as the general partner and/or investment manager to the pooled investment vehicles and Jeremy Green, as Managing Member and owner of Redmile, may therefore be deemed to beneficially own Securities owned by such investment limited partnerships for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of those Securities.

Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that Redmile or Jeremy Green is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and each of Redmile and Jeremy Green disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interests therein. 

Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” in Rule 13d-3 under the Act, it is also possible that the individual general partners, executive officers, and members of the foregoing entities might be deemed the “beneficial owners” of some or all of the Securities insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of the Securities.  Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in item 11 above was derived from the sum of the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2013, in which the Issuer stated that the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of October 31, 2013 was 49,631,672) and the transaction with Redmile and Glaxo Group, Ltd. of 7,500,000 shares for a total of 57,131,672 shares outstanding.

Item 5.      Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following  [ ].

Item 6.      Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

Redmile serves as general partner and/or investment manager to certain investment limited partnerships and/or pooled investment vehicles that have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Securities.  Other than as reported in this Schedule, no investment limited partnership’s holdings or pooled investment vehicle’s holdings exceed five percent of the Issuer’s common stock.

Item 7.      Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company

Not Applicable.

Item 8.      Identification and Classification of Members of the Group

Not Applicable.

Item 9.      Notice of Dissolution of Group

Not Applicable.
