Under the terms of the Investor Warrants, which are exercisable at $1.00 per share, the Company has the right to call for an early exercise when the Company's volume weighted average price equals or exceeds $2.50 per share for twenty consecutive trading days. On August 26, 2015, all Investor Warrants that are not exercised will be redeemed at a price of $0.0001 per Investor Warrant. If all of the Investor Warrants are exercised during the call notice period, the Company would receive gross proceeds of up to approximately $6.2 million.

Aegis Capital Corp. has been engaged to act as the Company's Warrant Solicitation Agent.

"We are pleased to call these remaining warrants which we expect will strengthen our balance sheet and simplify our capital structure. These are important financial milestones as we progress clinically with Resunab™ in multiple rare indications," said Yuval Cohen, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Corbus. "The right to call these warrants is part of a strategic financing mechanism included in the terms of a 2014 private placement. This call notice follows a year of significant milestone achievements that include the successful listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market, the FDA clearance of the INDs covering all three of our planned Phase 2 clinical trials with Resunab and the $5 million development award we received from Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics, Inc."
