</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic products for diseases such
as diabetes. Our lead product candidate, AFREZZA (insulin human [rDNA origin]) inhalation powder, is an ultra rapid-acting insulin that is intended to improve glycemic control in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. In August 2013, we announced
positive preliminary results from our two recently-completed Phase 3 clinical studies of AFREZZA for the treatment of adults with type&nbsp;1 or type&nbsp;2 diabetes for the control of hyperglycemia. In October 2013, we resubmitted our new drug
application to the United States Food and Drug Administration seeking approval of AFREZZA. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AFREZZA is absorbed into the bloodstream more
quickly than subcutaneously injected rapid acting insulin analogs and regular human insulin. The time to maximum plasma insulin concentration is 12-15 minutes after administration of AFREZZA compared to 45-90 minutes for rapid acting insulin analogs
and 90-150 minutes for regular human insulin. The time action profile of AFREZZA mimics the early phase insulin response observed in healthy normal individuals after a meal, which is characteristically absent in patients with type 2 diabetes.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AFREZZA utilizes our proprietary Technosphere formulation technology; however, this technology is not limited to insulin delivery. We believe
it represents a versatile drug delivery platform that may allow pulmonary administration of certain drugs that currently require administration by injection. Beyond convenience, we believe the key advantage of drugs inhaled as Technosphere
formulations is that they can be absorbed very rapidly into the arterial circulation, essentially mimicking intra-arterial administration. Currently, we are actively working with several parties to assess the feasibility of formulating different
active ingredients on Technosphere particles. Additionally, our inhaler technology has the potential to be utilized for the administration of dry powder formulations for various other applications. </FONT></P>

sales agreements we may issue and sell our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million from time to time through MLV or Brinson Patrick, acting as our sales agents, subject to certain limitations, including the number of
shares registered under the registration statement to which this prospectus supplement relates. The sales agreements have been filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013, which is incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement. The sales, if any, of shares made under the sales agreements will be made by any method that is deemed an &#147;at-the-market&#148; offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act,
including by means of ordinary brokers&#146; transactions at market prices, in negotiated transactions or as otherwise agreed by the applicable Agent and us. We may instruct the applicable Agent not to sell common stock if the sales cannot be
effected at or above the price designated by us from time to time. We or the applicable Agent may suspend the offering of common stock upon notice and subject to other conditions. As an agent, neither MLV nor Brinson Patrick will engage in any
transactions that stabilize the price of our common stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Each time we wish to issue and sell common stock under one of the sales
agreements, we will notify MLV or Brinson Patrick, as applicable, of the number of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any minimum price below which sales may not be made and other sales parameter as we
deem appropriate. Each Agent has agreed that once we have so instructed it, unless the Agent declines to accept the terms of the notice, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell
such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. During any time when an instruction to issue and sell common stock is effective with one Agent under the applicable sales agreement, we have agreed that we will not instruct the other Agent to
also issue and sell common stock under the other sales agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Each Agent will be entitled to a commission of up to 3% of the gross sales

payable to the Agents under the terms of the sales agreement, will be approximately $100,000. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Settlement for sales of common stock will occur
on the third business day following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and the applicable Agent in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is
no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Neither Agent is required to sell a certain number of

behalf, each Agent may, and will with respect to sales effected under the sales agreement with that Agent in an &#147;at-the-market offering,&#148; be deemed to be an &#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the Securities Act and the
compensation of that Agent may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to each Agent against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">MannKind Corporation is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic products for diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Our lead product
candidate, AFREZZA (insulin human [rDNA origin]) inhalation powder, is an ultra rapid-acting insulin that is in late-stage clinical investigation for the treatment of adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes for the control of hyperglycemia. Diabetes
is a significant health concern. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the United States in 2011, approximately 25.8&nbsp;million people had diabetes and if current trends continue, one in three adults in the United States
are expected to have diabetes by 2050. The International Diabetes Federation has estimated that as of September 2011 approximately 366&nbsp;million people had diabetes; by 2030 this is expected to have risen to approximately 552 million. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In March 2009, we submitted a new drug application, or NDA, for AFREZZA in which we sought approval of the product using our
first-generation inhaler, known as MedTone. In March 2010, we received a Complete Response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, that requested information and currently available clinical data to support the clinical utility of
AFREZZA as well as information about the comparability of the commercial version of the MedTone inhaler to the earlier version of this device that was used in pivotal clinical trials. After meeting with the FDA in June 2010, we determined that the
best way to address the agency&#146;s inhaler-related questions was to submit information regarding the bioequivalence of the MedTone inhaler and our next-generation inhaler, known as Dreamboat, which by that time had become our preferred device
from a clinical and commercial perspective, given that it is smaller, easier to use and lower in cost than the MedTone inhaler. In June 2010, we submitted to the FDA the available bioequivalency data for the two devices along with additional
evidence of efficacy of AFREZZA as part of our response to the 2010 Complete Response letter. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In January 2011, we received a
second Complete Response letter in which the FDA requested that we conduct two clinical studies with the Dreamboat inhaler (one in patients with type 1 diabetes and one in patients with type 2 diabetes), with at least one trial including a treatment
group using the MedTone inhaler in order to obtain a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">head-to-head</FONT></FONT> comparison of the pulmonary safety data for the two devices. By the fourth quarter of 2011, we were
recruiting subjects into both studies. We expect to complete screening for these studies during the third quarter of 2012 and complete the treatment stage of the studies in the second quarter of 2013. We then would expect to submit the results to
the FDA as an amendment to our NDA during in the third quarter of 2013. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AFREZZA utilizes our proprietary Technosphere
formulation technology, which is based on a class of organic molecules that are designed to self-assemble into small particles onto which drug molecules can be loaded. With AFREZZA, we load recombinant human insulin onto the Technosphere particles;
however, this technology is not limited to insulin delivery. We believe it represents a versatile drug delivery platform that may allow pulmonary administration of certain drugs that currently require administration by injection. Beyond convenience,
we believe the key advantage of drugs inhaled as Technosphere formulations is that they have been shown to be absorbed very rapidly into the arterial circulation, essentially mimicking intra-arterial administration. Currently, we are actively
working with several parties to assess the feasibility of formulating different active ingredients on Technosphere particles. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We can issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater
detail below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable trustee, depository or warrant agent maintain for this purpose as the &#147;holders&#148; of those securities. These
persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names, as &#147;indirect holders&#148; of those securities.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We may issue securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global securities registered in the
name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are referred to as participants, in turn
hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Only the person in whose name a
security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Securities issued in global form will be registered in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for securities issued in global form, we will recognize only
the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who
are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result, investors in a book-entry security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global
security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect
holders, and not holders, of the securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Street Name Holders </B></FONT></P>

investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in &#147;street name.&#148; Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses,
and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For securities held in street name, we will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities,
and we will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they
are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not holders, of those securities. </FONT></P>

Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. This short sales position may involve either &#147;covered&#148; short sales or &#147;naked&#148; short sales. Covered
short sales are short sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters&#146; over-allotment option to purchase additional securities in this offering described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by
exercising their over-allotment option or by purchasing securities in the open market. To determine how they will close the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in
the open market, as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the over-allotment option. Naked short sales are short sales in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by
purchasing securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that, in the open market after pricing, there may be downward pressure on the price of the securities that could
adversely affect investors who purchase securities in this offering. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security for the purpose of fixing the price of the security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a
specified maximum. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. </FONT></P>

common stock, preferred stock, warrants and debt securities, as applicable, on The NASDAQ Global Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or
sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest
independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker&#146;s bid, however, the passive market maker&#146;s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. </FONT></P>
