RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In August 2014, the Company issued a warrant to a vendor in connection with a debt settlement for the purchase of 162,539 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.00 per share with a five year term. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant to be $55,000 based on a Black-Sholes valuation and charged Additional-Paid in Capital.

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 the Company 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 of common stock and whose family trust purchased 90,000 shares of common stock.

Following the initial closing of the 2014 private placement, which took place on April 11, 2014, the Placement Agent has a right to appoint one member of our board of directors for a two-year term (the “Aegis Nominee”). 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 provided that Orchestra rendered a variety of consulting and advisory services relating principally to identifying and evaluating strategic relationships, licensing opportunities, and business strategies. Orchestra was compensated at the rate of $5,000 per month for twelve months, payable quarterly in advance. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company paid Orchestra $15,000. The consulting agreement expired on April 11, 2015 and the Company is not obligated to make future payments.
