As we reported in our Definitive Proxy Statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2013, the Company paid Dr. Basgoz an aggregate total of $11,152 in fiscal year 2013 in connection with consulting services that she rendered to the Company on a project-by-project basis relating to the evaluation of products and potential product opportunities. $9,250 of that total $11,152 constituted payment to Dr. Basgoz for the consulting services that she rendered to the Company, while the remaining $1,902 was paid to Dr. Basgoz to reimburse her for travel expenses incurred in providing such consulting services.
Dr. Basgoz was engaged by the Company to consult on discrete matters that were completed prior to the commencement of fiscal year 2014. The Company does not have any agreements in place with Dr. Basgoz to provide consulting or other professional services in the future and does not anticipate entering into any such arrangements.
