Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	A Form 4 to disclose the gift of 20,000 shares made to a non-affiliated entity on 07/08/2024 was inadvertently not previously filed.
(2)	Individual purchased shares on the open market.
(3)	The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were purchased in multiple transactions on the open market. The reporting person undertakes to provide to Vivani Medical, Inc. (the "Issuer"), any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares purchased in each transaction set forth in this footnote.
(4)	The reporting person owns 1,086,487 shares directly and/or indirectly as follows: (i) 188,170 shares of common stock owned by the reporting person, (ii) 150,930 shares in five trusts, each of which has been established for a separate grandchild of the Reporting Person, with each trust owning an aggregate of 30,186 shares of common stock, all trusts with the same terms, over which the Reporting Person has voting and dispositive authority, (iii) 747,387 shares of common stock owned by MFE, LLC over which the Reporting Person has voting and dispositive authority. The Reporting Person disclaims pecuniary interest in 20% of MFE, LLC and therefore disclaims 149,478 shares of the 747,387 shares of common stock owned by MFE, LLC, which 149,478 shares are beneficially owned by other members of the limited liability company.
