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, and other regulatory filings from time to time.

Revolutionizing Vaccines

measles

anthrax

polio

cowpox

• Prevent and treat diseases

• Build on legacy of vaccines: tackle conditions that traditional vaccines have not touched

• Provide “universal” protection from known and unknown strains of infectious diseases

Edward Jenner Louis Pasteur

Jonas Salk Maurice Hilleman 3

Products

• Best in class immune responses

Page 5: Inovio may13presentation

Products

• Best in class immune responses

• Products target

multi-billion dollar healthcare markets

• Multiple clinical trials in Phase I & II

• Favorable safety profile

• Best gene therapy delivery system (electroporation)

• Dominant global IP position

5

Page 6: Inovio may13presentation

Validation

• Bill Gates funding our malaria program

• US Gov’t granted $25 million to speed HIV vaccine development

• NIH Director: “transformational research”

• Major media

attention

• Overall, almost $50 million in non-dilutive grants in past few years

6

Page 7: Inovio may13presentation

Strategy

• Build on proof-of-concept studies with phase I and II clinical trials

• Spread cost/risk with: o Non-dilutive

partner funding o R&D grants

o “Sponsored”

clinical trials • May partner out

licensed products for final development and commercialization

• If you’re over 45 you probably would not be here today

• Drastically lowered infant mortality rate

• #1 human invention

Impact of Vaccines: Pros

Page 10: Inovio may13presentation

Traditional vaccine technology • 60 years old (some vaccines still grown in eggs)

• Has safety concerns

• Reached limits

Impact of Vaccines: Cons

Inovio’s DNA Vaccine Platform • Vaccine Design • Vaccine Delivery • Vaccine Manufacturing

11

Page 12: Inovio may13presentation

DNA Vaccine Design

• No killed or weakened virus

• Begin with strip of DNA called plasmid

• Use existing genetic sequences to target disease or infection

• Create “synthetic consensus” DNA-sequenced vaccine

• Made in pure water

12

Page 13: Inovio may13presentation

DNA Vaccine Delivery

electroporation

pulse

• Successfully jumped the hurdle of DNA vaccine delivery

• The “no adjuvants” DNA delivery method: millisecond

electric pulse (electroporation)

• Can increase uptake

by 1000-fold

13

Page 14: Inovio may13presentation

DNA Vaccine Manufacturing

• Dedicated manufacturing facility

• Speed: faster than traditional methods

• Scalability

• Thermal stability
