2. 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

3. Inovio: Revolutionizing Vaccines
• Inovio’s synthetic vaccine technology designed to:
• Treat some of today’s most challenging diseases
• Provide universal protection against changing infectious
disease strains
• Break the body’s tolerance of cancerous cells
• Targeting unmet needs with multi-billion dollar potential:
cancers, universal flu, HIV, hepatitis B/C virus
• Multiple ongoing clinical trials: phase II and phase I
• Industry-leading potency & safety
• Best-in-class immune responses
• Dominant global IP position (424 patents issued/pending)
• Validation:
• $35M+ in non-dilutive grant funding over last few years
• Advancing discussions for vaccine product development
partnerships and further grant funding
Page 3
4. Conventional Vaccines
• Saved millions from sickness/death
• Added decades to life expectancy Increased life expectancy
• Deliver a virus or part of a virus to
expose a unique antigen (foreign
protein)
• Generate antibodies that prevent
targeted diseases from infecting cells
• Low hanging fruit picked – old
technology has reached its limitations
• Safety concerns: can cause the
disease or other bad side effects
• Rely on technology that is often more
than 50 years old; some vaccines are
still grown in chicken eggs
Page 4
5. Synthetic DNA Vaccine Platform
Revolutionizing vaccines through:
• Strong safety profile
• SynCon® “designer vaccines” give the body the DNA instructions to produce only the
targeted antigen - nothing more
• Generate powerful T-cells to kill infected cells or tumors (therapeutic vaccines)
• Manufacturing advantages: rapid, scalable, thermal-stable

9. Inovio’s Strategy
• Advance/validate SynCon® + electroporation delivery platform
• Best in-class immunogenicity established in human studies
• Develop proprietary products through proof-of-concept human
data (phase I or phase II) and partner them
• Maximize resources/opportunities; spread cost/risk
• Non-dilutive third party funding
• Direct: R&D grants
– $42M received since 2008
• Indirect: clinical trials sponsored by outside agencies
• Partner/out-license products for preclinical/clinical
development and marketing
