Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  On January 14, 2015, Regado Biosciences, Inc. ("Regado") and Tobira Therapeutics, Inc. ("Original Tobira") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, as amended on January 23, 2015 (the "Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Regado with and into Original Tobira, with Original Tobira (hereinafter, the "Surviving Subsidiary") surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Regado. On May 4, 2015 (the "Effective Time"), the merger was consummated. At the Effective Time, Regado effected a name change to "Tobira Therapeutics, Inc." (hereinafter, the "Issuer") and the Surviving Subsidiary effected a name change to Tobira Development, Inc.
( 2)  Represents the number of shares of common stock of the Issuer received by the Reporting Person upon consummation of the merger. Each share of Original Tobira common stock held at the Effective Time (after conversion of preferred stock, warrants and outstanding convertible promissory notes plus accrued interest, as adjusted for the 1-for-9 reverse split of common stock effected by the Issuer prior to the consummation of the merger) was exchanged for 1.4302195557 shares of the Issuer's common stock. Certain of the shares are currently held in escrow and are subject to forfeiture during the one year period following the Effective Time to satisfy any indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement.

The board of directors of Novo A/S (the "Novo Board"), currently comprised of Sten Scheibye, Goran Ando, Jeppe Christiansen, Steen Riisgaard and Per Wold-Olsen, has shared investment and voting control over the securities of the Issuer held by Novo A/S (the "Shares") and may exercise such control only with the support of a majority of the Novo Board. As such, no individual member of the Novo Board is deemed to hold any beneficial ownership or reportable pecuniary interest in the Shares.
