clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing DNA medicines to help treat and protect people from diseases associated with human papillomavirus, or HPV, cancer, and infectious diseases. Our platform harnesses the
power of in vivo protein production, featuring optimized design and delivery of DNA medicines that teach the body to manufacture its own disease-fighting tools. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We use proprietary technology to design DNA plasmids which are small circular DNA molecules that work like software the body&#146;s cells can download to
produce specific proteins to target and fight disease. Our proprietary investigational CELLECTRA delivery devices are designed to optimally deliver the plasmids into the body&#146;s cells. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our lead candidate is <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107</FONT> for the treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, or RRP, a life-long, rare
disease characterized by the growth of small tumors, or papillomas, in the respiratory tract primarily caused by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-6</FONT> and/or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-11</FONT> genotypes. Although mostly benign,
these papillomas can cause severe, sometimes life-threatening airway obstruction and respiratory complications. The standard of care for RRP is surgery. The most widely cited U.S. epidemiology data, published in 1995, estimated that there were
14,000 active cases for both adults and juveniles, and about 1.8 new cases per 100,000 adults each year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In our completed Phase 1/2 clinical trial of <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107</FONT> for the treatment of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-6</FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-11-associated</FONT></FONT> RRP, 81.3% (26/32) of patients
experienced a reduction in the number of surgical interventions in the year following administration of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107,</FONT> when compared with the year prior to treatment. Of these 32 patients, nine did not require
surgical intervention during or after the dosing window. Patients in the trial had a median range of 4 surgeries <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(2-8)</FONT> in the year prior to dosing. There was a statistically significant median decrease of
three surgical interventions when comparing the year following treatment to the year prior to treatment. Treatment with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107</FONT> generated a strong immune response in the trial, inducing activated CD4 T cells
and activated CD8 T cells with lytic potential. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">T-cell</FONT> responses were also observed at Week 52, indicating a persistent cellular memory response. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107</FONT> was well
tolerated by participants in the trial, resulting in mostly <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-grade</FONT> (Grade 1) treatment-emergent adverse effects such as injection site pain and fatigue. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the fourth quarter of 2023, we received feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, that the data from this completed trial could be used
to support the submission of a BLA for review under the FDA&#146;s accelerated approval program. As part of submitting our BLA under the accelerated program, we will need to satisfy all FDA filing requirements and initiate a confirmatory clinical
trial prior to BLA submission. </P>

We previously expected to be able to submit our BLA by the end of 2024; however, during our device testing process we have recently identified a manufacturing issue involving the single use
disposable administration component of the CELLECTRA 5PSP device that we plan to use in the confirmatory trial. We are currently working to resolve the manufacturing issue, but we now expect that the timing for submission of the BLA will likely be

commonly known as throat cancer. The incidence of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-related</FONT> throat cancer has increased rapidly in recent years in the United States, with an estimated 20,000 new cases each year. HPV- related throat cancer
has surpassed cervical cancer as the most common <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-related</FONT> cancer. In the United States, men are four to five times more likely to be diagnosed with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-associated</FONT>
oropharyngeal cancers than women. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In January 2024, we announced a clinical collaboration and supply agreement with Coherus BioSciences, Inc. to evaluate

terms of the supply agreement, Coherus will provide LOQTORZI for a planned Phase 3 clinical trial. The manufacturing issue with the single use disposable administration component of the CELLECTRA 5PSP device that is impacting <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107</FONT> will also need be resolved before we can commence the Phase 3 trial with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3112.</FONT> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are developing <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-5401,</FONT> an immunotherapy consisting of three DNA plasmids encoding for three tumor associated
antigens, for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme, or GBM, an aggressive type of brain cancer that accounts for more than 50% of all primary malignant brain tumors. GBM is one of the most complex, deadly, and treatment-resistant cancers. In the
United States, nearly 15,000 people were expected to receive a GBM diagnosis in 2023, and it is estimated that more than 10,000 individuals will succumb to the disease each year. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to our development efforts with the product candidates described above, we are actively developing or planning to develop DNA medicines for other
indications, including <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-related</FONT> anal dysplasia; cancers in people with certain gene mutations; and a potential vaccine booster to protect against the Ebola virus. We were previously conducting clinical
trials of a DNA medicine candidate for the treatment of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-related</FONT> cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, or HSIL, but announced in August 2023 that we were ceasing development for this
indication in the United States. However, our collaborator ApolloBio Corporation continues to conduct a Phase 3 clinical trial of this candidate in China and plans to seek regulatory approval for and potentially commercialize the candidate in that
jurisdiction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our partners and collaborators include Advaccine Biopharmaceuticals Suzhou Co, ApolloBio Corporation, AstraZeneca, The Bill&nbsp;&amp;

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>An investment in our common stock is subject to numerous risks as discussed more fully below and under the caption &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the
accompanying prospectus and our most recent Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> and Quarterly Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q,</FONT> which we incorporate by reference herein, and other information
that we file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement and which we incorporate by reference herein. Any of these risks could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations or our ability to
execute our business strategy. You should read and consider carefully all the information set forth and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before deciding whether to invest in our common stock.
The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also affect our business operations. See
&#147;Incorporation of Certain Documents By Reference.&#148; </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Related to this Offering </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Purchasers will experience immediate dilution in the book value per share of the common stock purchased in the offering. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The expected offering price of our common stock will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock. As a
result, based on our capitalization as of June&nbsp;30, 2024, investors purchasing shares in this offering would incur immediate dilution of $3.76 per share of common stock purchased, based on an assumed public offering price of our common stock of
$8.44 per share, the last reported sale price of the common stock on August&nbsp;9, 2024. In addition to this offering, subject to market conditions and other factors, it is likely that we will pursue additional financings in the future. In future
years, we will likely need to raise significant additional capital to finance our operations and to fund clinical trials, regulatory submissions, commercialization, and the development, manufacture and marketing of other products under development
and new product opportunities. Accordingly, we may conduct substantial future offerings of equity or debt securities. The exercise or settlement of outstanding options, restricted stock units and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-funded</FONT>
warrants and future equity issuances, including future public offerings or future private placements of equity securities and any additional shares issued in connection with acquisitions, will result in dilution to investors. In addition, the market
price of our common stock could fall as a result of resales of any of these shares of common stock due to an increased number of shares available for sale in the market. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Resales of our common stock in the public market during this offering by our stockholders may cause the market price of our common stock to fall.
</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue common stock from time to time in connection with this offering. This issuance from time to time of these new shares of our common
stock, or our ability to issue these shares of common stock in this offering, could result in resales of our common stock by our current stockholders concerned about the potential dilution of their holdings. In turn, these resales could have the
effect of depressing the market price for our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The actual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or
in total, is uncertain. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to
deliver a placement notice to the Sales Agent to sell shares of our common stock at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by the Sales Agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based
on the market price of our common stock during the sales period and limits we set with the Sales Agent. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not
possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Oppenheimer&nbsp;&amp; Co. Inc., or the Sales Agent, under which we may offer and sell up to
$60,000,000 of our shares of common stock from time to time through our Sales Agent. Sales of our shares of common stock, if any, under this prospectus will be made by any method that is deemed to be an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;at-the-market</FONT></FONT> offering&#148; as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act or, if expressly authorized by us, in privately negotiated transactions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each time we wish to issue and sell our shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement, we will notify our Sales Agent of the maximum number
of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales may be made, any limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Once we have instructed our Sales Agent, unless our Sales
Agent declines to accept the terms of such notice, our Sales Agent has agreed to 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. The
obligations of our Sales Agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement to sell our shares of common stock are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The settlement of sales of shares of common stock between us and our Sales Agent is generally anticipated to occur on the first trading day (unless we and our
Sales Agent have agreed in writing on another date) following the date on which the sale was made. Sales of our shares of common stock as contemplated in this prospectus will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by
such other means as we and our Sales Agent may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will pay our Sales Agent a commission of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of shares of common stock. Because there is
no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution
Agreement, we agreed to reimburse our Sales Agent for the fees and disbursements of its counsel (i)&nbsp;in an amount not to exceed $75,000 in connection with the establishment of the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">at-the-market</FONT></FONT> offering, and (ii)&nbsp;thereafter, $15,000 for due diligence on a quarterly basis. We estimate that the total expense in connection with establishing this
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;at-the-market</FONT></FONT> offering,&#148; excluding compensation payable to our Sales Agent, will be approximately $275,000. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through our Sales Agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement, the net proceeds
to us and the compensation paid by us to our Sales Agent in connection with the sales of common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Sales Agent will provide written confirmation
to us before the open on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the day following each day on which our shares of common stock are sold by our Sales Agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on
that day, the aggregate gross proceeds of such sales and the proceeds to us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the sale of our shares of common stock on our behalf, our
Sales Agent may be deemed to be an &#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of our Sales Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify our Sales Agent
against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have also agreed to contribute to payments our Sales Agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Sales Agent and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which
services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M, our Sales Agent will not engage in any market making activities involving our shares of common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus.

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Company Overview</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a biotechnology
company focused on developing and commercializing DNA medicines to help treat and protect people from diseases associated with HPV, cancer, and infectious diseases. Our goal is to advance our pipeline of product candidates and deliver on the promise
of DNA medicines technology in treating and preventing a wide array of diseases. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In clinical trials, our DNA medicine candidates have
shown the ability to generate immune responses, especially CD4+, CD8+, and memory <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">T-cell</FONT> responses against targeted pathogens and cancers, via our precisely designed plasmids. These plasmids are delivered into
cells using our investigational proprietary smart device, CELLECTRA. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107</FONT> is our candidate
for the treatment of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-related</FONT> disease recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, or RRP. In October 2022 and February 2023, we announced data from the first and second cohorts of our Phase 1/2 clinical trial
of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107</FONT> for the treatment of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-6</FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-11</FONT> associated RRP. In this trial, treatment with
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107</FONT> resulted in a statistically significant reduction of the median number of surgical interventions required to manage the disease during the first year following initial treatment, a result that
reinforces our belief that DNA medicines may play a key role in the treatment of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-related</FONT> diseases. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;10, 2023, we announced that we had received feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, that data from
our completed Phase 1/2 clinical trial of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107</FONT> for the treatment of RRP can be used to support the submission of a Biologic License Application, or BLA, for review under the FDA&#146;s accelerated approval
program. The FDA also advised that we will no longer be required to conduct our previously planned Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled trial; however, we will need to initiate a confirmatory clinical trial prior to BLA submission for accelerated
approval and will also need to satisfy all other FDA filing requirements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to our development efforts with <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">INO-3107,</FONT> we are also actively developing or planning to develop DNA medicines for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-related</FONT> precancers, including vulvar and anal dysplasia;
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">HPV-related</FONT> cancers, including head&nbsp;&amp; neck cancer; and glioblastoma multiforme, or GBM, the most common aggressive type of brain cancer, as well as a potential vaccine booster to protect against the
Ebola virus. We were previously conducting clinical trials of a DNA medicine candidate for the treatment of cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions but announced in August 2023 that we were ceasing development for this indication in the
United States. However, our collaborator ApolloBio Corporation continues to conduct a Phase 3 clinical trial of this candidate in China and plans to seek regulatory approval for and potentially commercialize the candidate in that jurisdiction. </P>

research and development agreements and contracts. Our DNA medicine candidates will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing. All DNA medicine candidates that we advance to
clinical testing will require regulatory approval prior to commercial use, and will require significant costs for commercialization. We may not be successful in our research and development efforts, and we may never generate sufficient product
revenue to be profitable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Corporate Information</B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in June 2001. Our principal executive offices are located at 660 W. Germantown

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a &#147;smaller reporting company,&#148; meaning that the market value of our shares held by
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-affiliates</FONT> is less than $700&nbsp;million and our annual revenue was less than $100&nbsp;million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either
(i)&nbsp;the market value of our shares held by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-affiliates</FONT> is less than $250&nbsp;million or (ii)&nbsp;our annual revenue was less than $100&nbsp;million during the most recently completed fiscal year and
the market value of our shares held by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-affiliates</FONT> is less than $700&nbsp;million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on
exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our
Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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, depositary 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. As we discuss
below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Book-Entry Holders</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security.
Global securities will be registered in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for global securities, 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result, investors
in a global 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 legal holders, of the securities. </P>

global security or issue securities that are not issued in global form. In these cases, 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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For securities held in street name, we or any applicable trustee or depositary 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 or any such trustee or depositary 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
legal holders, of those securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Legal Holders</B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our obligations, as well as the obligations of any applicable trustee or third party employed by us or a trustee, run only to the legal holders
of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a security or
has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global form. </P>

the holders to amend an indenture, to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture, or for other purposes. In such an event, we would seek approval only from the holders, and
