Explanation of Responses:
1. Effective as of September 11, 2023 (the "Effective Time"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magenta Therapeutics, Inc. ("Magenta"), merged (the "Merger") with and into Dianthus Therapeutics, Inc. ("Dianthus") resulting in, among other things, Dianthus becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Magenta. At the Effective Time, Magenta effected a name change to "Dianthus Therapeutics, Inc." (hereinafter, the "Issuer").
2. Represents the number of shares of common stock of the Issuer received by the Reporting Person in the Merger in exchange for the shares of Dianthus held by the Reporting Person prior to the Merger. Each share of Dianthus common stock held at the Effective Time was exchanged for 0.2181 shares of the Issuer's common stock, which gives effect to the reverse stock split of common stock effected by the Issuer and the Merger exchange ratio.
3. The reported shares are held by clients of Avidity Partners Management LP and may be deemed to beneficially owned by (i) Avidity Partners Management LP, (ii) Avidity Partners Management (GP) LLC, the general partner of Avidity Partners Management LP and (iii) each of David Witzke and Michael Gregory, the managing members of Avidity Partners Management (GP) LLC. Lei Meng, an employee of Avidity Partners Management LP, is a director of the Issuer. Avidity Partners Management LP, Avidity Partners Management (GP) LLC, Mr. Witzke and Mr. Gregory may be considered directors by deputization due to their affiliation with Ms. Meng. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of its, his or her pecuniary interest, if any, therein, and this report shall not be deemed to be an admission that such Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
4. As of the date hereof, Avidity Partners Management (GP) LLC, David Witzke and Michael Gregory have not yet received the applicable EDGAR codes required to make filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; however, such Reporting Persons have applied for the applicable codes and will supplement this Form 3 once such codes are available.
