On April 3, 2020, Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an At-The-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”) under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), through Stifel as its sales agent. The Company has filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to the Sales Agreement for the offer and sale of its Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000,000.

Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, sales of the Common Stock, if any, will be made under the Company’s previously filed and effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-237172) and an applicable prospectus supplement, by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Stifel may sell the Common Stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Stifel will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Common Stock from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company will pay Stifel a commission of up to three percent (3.0%) of the gross sales proceeds of any Common Stock sold through Stifel under the Sales Agreement, and also has provided Stifel with certain indemnification rights.

With most every broker having gone to commission-free trading, this does seem quite a lucrative gig! '3% of $150M' for what service exactly? Country Club lifetime memberships for all...
