Forward Looking Statement

Our commentary and responses to your questions may contain
forward-looking statements, including comments concerning
clinical trials and product development programs, evaluation of
potential opportunities, the level of corporate expenditures,
the assessment of Inovio’s technology by potential corporate
partners, capital market conditions, timing of events, cash
consumption and other subjects. Information concerning
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2012, our Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2013 and other regulatory filings from
time to time.

Roche Partnership
• Collaborating with a global leader in innovative cancer drugs
• Develop and commercialize Inovio’s prostate cancer (INO5150) and hepatitis B (INO-1800) immunotherapies
• $10 million up-front payment
• $412.5 million milestone payments for development and
commercial events
• Roche may pay other development milestone payments if it
pursues other indications with INO-5150 or INO-1800
• Roche to fund all ongoing development costs
• Up to double-digit royalties on sales of a marketed product

DNA
Plasmid
The Basis For How We Stimulate T-cells

DNA vaccine delivered
into muscle or skin

Antibodies or killer T-cells that can eliminate
cancerous or infected cells are produced
9

Electroporation: millisecond
electrical fields applied

Antigen-presenting cells
engulf the antigens and carry
them to lymph nodes

Temporary pores in cell
membrane; significant cellular
uptake of vaccine

Cell membrane reseals. Cellular machinery uses
the DNA code to produce one or more of the
targeted disease antigens
Better Delivery = Enhanced Gene Expression
1000x enhancement in
cellular uptake

> 10-100x enhancement
in immunogenicity
