Norwood, MA, May 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRBP) (“Corbus” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage drug development company pioneering transformative medicines that target the endocannabinoid system, today announced that it has adjourned its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) in order to provide stockholders additional time within which to vote on all proposals, including Proposal 4 to approve an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000.

The Company believes there is significant support for Proposal 4. At the time of the Annual Meeting, approximately 85% of the votes cast on Proposal 4 were voted in favor of its approval. Because Proposal 4 must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, however, it has not yet received a sufficient number of votes in its favor. Because Corbus’ Board of Directors continues to believe that Proposal 4 is advisable and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to consider and act upon Proposal 4, the Company adjourned the Annual Meeting.

The adjourned meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. ET on Thursday, June 17, 2021 at the following url: www.viewproxy.com/corbuspharma/2021/vm. The record date for the annual meeting is March 31, 2021.
