Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  The shares were disposed of pursuant to a merger agreement between Nanosphere, Inc. (the "Company"), Commodore Acquisition, Inc. and Luminex Corporation for a purchase price of $1.70 per share in cash (the "Merger"). The Merger was completed on June 30, 2016.
( 2)  This option, which provided for vesting in twelve, equal quarterly installments beginning January 1, 2016, was canceled in the Merger for a cash payment of $4,000 (prior to withholding of applicable taxes), representing the difference between the exercise price of the option and the market value of the underlying shares of the Company's common stock on the effective date of the Merger equal to the per share purchase price in the Merger.
