DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

On September 3, 2014, Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-198563) (the “Registration Statement”), which was amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 filed with the SEC on September 30, 2014 and Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-1 filed with the SEC on October 2, 2014, for the purpose of registering for resale 20,206,636 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), by certain of the Company’s selling stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on October 3, 2014, and was amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, filed on March 31, 2015 and declared effective on April 6, 2015. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form S-1 is being filed to deregister, as of the effective date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2, any shares of Common Stock under the Registration Statement that have not been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. In connection with a private offering of Company securities by the Company pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with each of the Selling Stockholders, which required the Company to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a period of one year or for such shorter period ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the date as of which all of the Selling Stockholders may sell all of the shares of Common Stock registered for resale on the Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor rule thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the date when all of the shares of Common Stock registered on the Registration Statement shall have been sold. Accordingly, the Company is no longer required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement by the Registration Rights Agreement.
