The terms of the loan stipulate equal monthly payments of principal and interest payments of $39.0 thousand over a 10-month period. Interest accrues on this loan at an annual rate of 8.15%. Prepaid expenses as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, included approximately $34.6 thousand and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the underlying insurance policy being financed.

Loan and Security Agreement with K2 HealthVentures LLC
On July 28, 2020, the Company, with its subsidiary, Corbus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., as borrower, entered into a secured Loan and Security Agreement with K2 HealthVentures LLC (“K2HV”), an unrelated third party (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) and received $20.0 million upon signing. On August 1, 2024, the loan matured and the Company made a final payment in the amount of $11.8 million, which represents $10.1 million principal outstanding on the maturity date, $1.6 million final payment and accrued interest. The $1.6 million final payment was amortized over the life of the loan through interest expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Interest payments were made monthly and accrued at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of (i) 8.5% and (ii) the rate of interest noted in The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates section, as the “Prime Rate” plus 5.25%.
The Company entered into an Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the "Amended Loan and Security Agreement") on October 25, 2022. Pursuant to the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, K2HV could elect to convert up to $5.0 million of the outstanding loan balance into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices as follows: $0.9 million of the loan at $4.50 per share, $1.1 million at $7.875 per share, and $3.0 million at $282.00 per share. On June 1, 2023, K2HV converted $0.9 million of the outstanding loan balance into 194,444 shares of the Company's stock at a conversion price of $4.50 per share. On March 6, 2024, K2HV converted $1.1 million of the outstanding loan balance into 142,857 shares of the Company's stock at a conversion price of $7.875 per share.
In connection with the Loan and Security Agreement, on July 28, 2020, the Company issued K2HV a warrant to purchase up to 2,873 common shares (the “K2 Warrant”) at an exercise price of $208.80. The K2 Warrant may be exercised either for cash or on a cashless “net exercise” basis and expires on July 28, 2030.
The total debt discount related to the Amended Loan and Security Agreement of approximately $3.0 million was charged to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the debt. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of our outstanding debt, which is considered level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, approximates carrying value.
