13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the formation of Corbus Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc. in December 2013, certain affiliates of Aegis Capital Corp. (the “Placement Agent”) and certain other parties not affiliated with us or the Placement Agent subscribed for an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of common stock for which they paid an aggregate of $120,000 ($0.02 per share), including David Hochman, one of our directors who purchased 450,000 shares and whose family trust purchased 90,000 shares.

Following the Initial Closing of the 2014 Private Placement, the Placement Agent has a right to appoint one member of our board of directors for a two-year term (the “Aegis Nominee”). Upon the Initial Closing on April 11, 2014, David Hochman was appointed as the Aegis Nominee.

On March 21, 2014, we entered into a consulting agreement with Orchestra Medical Ventures, LLC (“Orchestra”), of which David Hochman is Managing Partner. The agreement became effective upon closing of the Merger and provides that Orchestra will render a variety of consulting and advisory services relating principally to identifying and evaluating strategic relationships, licensing opportunities, and business strategies. Orchestra is compensated at the rate of $5,000 per month for twelve months, payable quarterly in advance. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company paid Orchestra $45,000 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, $15,000 was payable to Orchestra.
