These sales were mandated by the Issuer's election under its equity incentive plans to require the reporting person to sell a number of shares of common stock needed to satisfy his tax withholding obligations and does not represent a discretionary trade by the reporting person.
3. The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted-average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $5.82 to $5.92, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to Mersana Therapeutics, Inc., any security holder of Mersana Therapeutics, Inc., or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth in footnote (3) to this Form 4.
