(1) After giving effect to (i) the reverse merger that closed on December
18, 2023 by the Issuer (formerly Neoleukin Therapeutics, Inc.) and the pre-merger Neurogene Inc., which became a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Issuer (the “Merger”), and (ii) each of the 1-for-5 reverse stock split with respect to the Issuer’s Common Stock
that was effected on September 25, 2023 and the 1-for-4 reverse stock split with respect to the Issuer’s Common Stock that was effected
on December 18, 2023 immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (collectively, the “Reverse Stock Splits”), Redmile Group,
LLC’s beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s common stock (“Common Stock”) is comprised of 1,266,905 shares of Common
Stock owned by certain private investment vehicles and/or sub-advised accounts managed by Redmile Group, LLC (“Redmile”),
including Redmile Biopharma Investments I, L.P. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Blocker (as defined below), Redmile may also be deemed
to beneficially own 103,407 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants shall be limited to the extent
that, following such exercise, the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the holder of the Warrants, together
with such holder’s affiliates and any other person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such holder’s
for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), would exceed the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (the “Beneficial Ownership Blocker”). The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” is
9.99% of the shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, which percentage may be changed at a holder’s election upon 61
days’ notice to the Issuer. The Common Stock and the Warrants may be deemed beneficially owned by Redmile as investment manager
of such private investment vehicles and/or sub-advised accounts. The reported securities may also be deemed beneficially owned by Jeremy
C. Green as the principal of Redmile. Redmile and Mr. Green (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) each disclaim beneficial
ownership of these shares, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest in such shares, if any.
(2) Percentage
based on: (i) 12,823,696 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 18, 2023, as reported by the Issuer in its Form 8-K filed
with SEC on December 18, 2023 (the "Form 8-K") plus (ii) 15,756 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain of the
Warrants, which due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation is the maximum number of shares that could be issued upon exercise of the
Warrants.

C. Green’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock is comprised of 1,266,905 shares of Common Stock owned by certain private investment
vehicles and/or sub-advised accounts managed by Redmile, including Redmile Biopharma Investments I, L.P. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Blocker, Mr. Green may also be deemed to beneficially own 103,407 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Pursuant
to the terms of the Warrants, the Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants shall be limited to the extent that
the Beneficial Ownership Blocker applies. The Common Stock and the Warrants together may be deemed beneficially owned by Redmile as investment
manager of such private investment vehicles and/or sub-advised accounts. The reported securities may also be deemed beneficially owned
by Jeremy C. Green as the principal of Redmile. The Reporting Persons each disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares, except to the
extent of its or his pecuniary interest in such shares, if any.
(4) Percentage based on (i) 12,823,696 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 18, 2023, as reported by the Issuer in its Form 8-K, plus (ii) 15,756 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain of the Warrants, which due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation is the maximum number of shares that could be issued upon exercise of the Warrants.
