Based on 26,513,464 shares of common stock, par value $0.0002 per share (the “Common Shares”), of Heat Biologics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), outstanding as of February 1, 2017.  When Mr. Wolf filed his initial Schedule 13D on July 29, 2013, the Company had only 6,086,942 Common Shares outstanding. Mr. Wolf has never sold any Common Shares; however, the increase in the Company’s outstanding Common Shares since July 2013 accounts for the decrease in the percentage of Common Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Wolf. As of the filing date of this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”), Mr. Wolf held 4,881 Common Shares directly, Orion Holdings V, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Orion”), held 695,653 Common Shares and Seed-One Holdings VI, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seed-One”), held 536,862 Common Shares.  Mr. Wolf serves as the managing member of both Orion and Seed-One. Mr. Wolf is deemed to beneficially own the shares held by such entities as in his role as the managing member he has the control over the voting and disposition of any shares held by these entities. Does not include 86,957 Common Shares beneficially owned by

Mr. Wolf disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of any pecuniary interest (as defined in Rule 16a–1(a)(2) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) that he may have in such entities. In addition, if the Company is traded on a recognized national exchange or NASDAQ while Mr. Wolf is employed by the Company and the market capitalization of the Company is in excess of $250 million for at least five consecutive trading days, then Mr. Wolf will be entitled to receive an additional stock option equal to 2% of the then outstanding Common Shares, with an exercise price equal to the then current market price as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company. In addition, as of the date of this Amendment No. 1, Mr. Wolf has been issued: (i) options to purchase an aggregate of 526,209 Common Shares, of which 265,977 shares are vested and currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof and are included in the beneficial ownership of Mr. Wolf; and (ii) 200,000 restricted stock units of which 50,000 shares are vested and currently issuable or issuable within 60 days of the date hereof and are included in the beneficial ownership of Mr. Wolf.  Mr. Wolf possesses the sole power to vote and the sole power to direct the disposition of all securities of the Company beneficially owned by him, Orion and Seed-One.  As a result of the foregoing, as of the filing date of this Amendment No. 1, Mr. Wolf is deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,553,373 Common Shares, or 5.79% of the outstanding Common Shares.
