5. Related Party Transactions

At December 31, 2015 and 2014 deferred payments totaling $25,500 and $25,500, respectively, were owed to former directors in connection with their service on our Board and are included in the accompanying balance sheets in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

On June 9, 2015, we entered into our Oral Mucositis ECC with Intrexon and Actobiotics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intrexon, through which we intend to research, develop and commercialize products, including the continued development and commercialization of AG013, for use in the treatment of oral mucositis in humans and/or the administration to humans of a trefoil factor via genetically modified bacteria (including L. lactis) for the treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity, throat, and esophagus, but, in any case, excluding the delivery of anti-cancer effectors for the purpose of treatment or prophylaxis of cancer (collectively, the “Program”). Contemporaneously with the ECC, we also entered into a Stock Issuance Agreement (the “SIA”) with Intrexon which provided for the payment of a technology access fee and the potential future issuance by us of our common stock to Intrexon upon the achievement of designated development milestones. We also issued a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the amount of $5,000,000 with interest at 3% per annum, as payment of the technology access fee associated with this ECC which was payable, at our option, in cash or shares of our common stock.

On December 1, 2015, the Company issued a Notice of Conversion to Intrexon indicating 3,381,004 shares of Company common stock has been issued to Intrexon effective December 1, 2015 in connection with the Note and in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Note.

On September 30, 2015, the Company and Intrexon mutually agreed to terminate the Exclusive Channel Collaboration Agreement dated September 30, 2013 regarding the development and commercialization of probiotics (the “Live Biotherapeutic Products ECC”). The termination of the Live Biotherapeutic Products ECC was to enable Oragenics to focus its resources on the lantibiotic and oral mucositis programs.

As of December 31, 2015, Intrexon Corporation owned approximately 33.17% of our outstanding common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company paid $298,581 and $866,030, respectively to Intrexon Corporation (“Intrexon”) under the Exclusive Channel Collaboration Agreement to develop and commercialize lantibiotics (the “Lantibiotic ECC”) and we paid $195 and $46,697, respectively to Intrexon under the Exclusive Channel Collaboration Agreement to develop and commercialize genetically modified probiotics (the “LBPs ECC”) and the Company paid $263,590 and $0, respectively to Intrexon under the Exclusive Channel Collaboration Agreement to develop and commercialize AG013 (the “Oral Mucositis ECC”).
