15. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

On July 28, 2020, the Company, with its subsidiary, Corbus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., as borrower, entered into the secured Loan and Security Agreement with K2HV and received $20.0 million upon signing. The Company has determined that a prepayment feature and default feature needed to be separately valued and marked to market each reporting period after assessing the agreement under ASC 815.

The value of these features is determined each reporting period by taking the present value of net cash flows with and without the prepayment features. The significant assumption used to determine the fair value of the debt without any features is the

discount rate which has been estimated by using published market rates of CCC-rated public companies. All other inputs are taken from the Loan and Security Agreement. The additional significant assumptions used when valuing the prepayment feature is the probability of a change of control event. The Company has determined the probability from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024 has decreased from 10% to 0%. The additional significant assumption used when valuing the default feature is the probability of defaulting on the repayment of the loan. The Company has determined the probability from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024 has decreased from 55% to 0%. The value of these features was determined to be $0 at June 30, 2024, which resulted in income of $39.0 thousand recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company considers the fair value of the derivative liability to be Level 3 under the three-tier fair value hierarchy.
