NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
July 10, 2008
 
Dear Stockholder:
 
You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting of stockholders of Iomai Corporation (“Iomai”) to be held on August 1, 2008, at 9 a.m. local time, at 20 Firstfield Road, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20878.
 
At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to vote to approve the merger (the “Merger”) of Zebra Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercell AG, with and into Iomai, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 12, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”). If the Merger is completed, Iomai’s stockholders will have the right to receive $6.60 in cash, without interest, for each share of Iomai common stock they own. Prior to the closing of the Merger, stockholders representing approximately 41% of the outstanding shares of Iomai common stock as of July 2, 2008, the record date for the Special Meeting, will exchange their shares of Iomai common stock, at a $6.60 per share value, for shares of Intercell common stock.
 
Your board of directors, by unanimous vote and after careful consideration, (1) has approved and adopted the Merger Agreement, including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (2) has determined that the terms of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Iomai and its stockholders, (3) recommends that Iomai stockholders vote “FOR” approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and (4) recommends that Iomai stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes in favor of approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement at the time of the Special Meeting.
 
Your vote is important. We cannot complete the Merger unless, among other things, the holders of a majority of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting vote to approve the Merger Agreement. Failure to submit a signed proxy card or to vote by telephone, via the internet or in person at the Special Meeting will have the same effect as a vote against the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please take the time to vote by completing the enclosed proxy card and mailing it to us or, if you prefer, vote by telephone or via the internet by following the telephone and internet voting instructions described on the enclosed proxy card (or voting instruction form). Only holders of record of Iomai common stock at the close of business on July 2, 2008 will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.
 
In connection with the Merger Agreement, certain Iomai stockholders, including our executive officers, who own, in the aggregate, approximately 51% of the shares of outstanding Iomai common stock as of the record date, entered into a Voting Agreement with Intercell. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each stockholder party to such agreement has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to vote all shares of Iomai common stock that it owns as of the record date, in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. The shares of Iomai common stock subject to the Voting Agreement constitute a majority of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and therefore will satisfy the minimum vote necessary to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement at the Special Meeting. If the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its provisions, the Voting Agreement will also terminate.
 
This proxy statement explains the proposed Merger and the Merger Agreement, and provides specific information concerning the Special Meeting. Please review this document carefully.
 
Sincerely,
 
-S- STANLEY C. ERCK
Stanley C. Erck
President and Chief Executive Officer
 
This proxy statement is dated July 10, 2008, and is first being mailed to Iomai stockholders on or about July 10, 2008.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be Held on August 1, 2008
 
 
Dear Stockholders:
 
We will hold a Special Meeting of Stockholders of Iomai Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Iomai”), at 20 Firstfield Road, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20878, on August 1, 2008, at 9 a.m. local time, to consider and vote upon the following:
 
  1.  A proposal to approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 12, 2008, among Intercell AG, a joint stock corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Austria, Zebra Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercell AG, and Iomai (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for a merger (the “Merger”) in which, among other things, each share of Iomai common stock, par value $.01 per share, (other than shares of Iomai common stock held by Intercell, Zebra Merger Sub, Inc. or their affiliates immediately prior to the Merger or shares held by stockholders who are entitled to and properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law), will be converted into the right to receive $6.60 in cash, without interest;
 
  2.  A proposal to adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting to a later time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposal to approve the Merger Agreement; and
 
  3.  Such other proposals, if any, as may properly be brought before the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
 
We will transact no other business at the Special Meeting except such business as may properly be brought before the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
 
The record date for the purpose of determining the stockholders who are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting is July 2, 2008. Only holders of record of Iomai common stock at the close of business on that date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
 
THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF IOMAI COMMON STOCK ENTITLED TO VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE MERGER AGREEMENT. Pursuant to a Voting Agreement entered into with Intercell, certain Iomai stockholders, including our executive officers, who own, in the aggregate, approximately 51% of the outstanding shares of Iomai common stock as of the record date, have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to vote all of their shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement. The shares of Iomai common stock subject to the Voting Agreement constitute a majority of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and therefore will satisfy the minimum vote necessary to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement at the Special Meeting. If the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its provisions, the Voting Agreement will also terminate.
 
This proxy statement describes the proposed Merger and the Merger Agreement and the actions to be taken in connection with the Merger and provides additional information about the parties involved. Please give this information your careful attention.
 
Under applicable provisions of Delaware law, Iomai stockholders have the right to dissent from the Merger and obtain payment in cash of the fair value of their shares of Iomai common stock, as determined by the Delaware Chancery Court. Any stockholder seeking to assert appraisal rights will be required to give written notice, before the stockholders vote on whether to approve the Merger Agreement, of the stockholder’s intent to demand payment pursuant to statutory appraisal rights, and to comply with the requirement to not vote to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.
 
YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, BY UNANIMOUS VOTE AND AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, (I) HAS APPROVED AND ADOPTED THE MERGER AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE MERGER AND THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, (II) HAS DETERMINED THAT THE TERMS OF THE MERGER AND THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE MERGER AGREEMENT ARE ADVISABLE, FAIR TO AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF IOMAI AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS, (III) RECOMMENDS THAT IOMAI


Table of Contents

STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND (IV) RECOMMENDS THAT IOMAI STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF ANY PROPOSAL TO ADJOURN OR POSTPONE THE SPECIAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IN THE EVENT THAT THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AT THE TIME OF THE SPECIAL MEETING.
 
If you plan to attend the Special Meeting in person, please be aware that seating may be limited. Registration and seating will begin at 8:30 a.m. Please bring valid picture identification, such as a driver’s license or passport. You may be required to provide this identification upon entry to the meeting. Stockholders holding stock in brokerage accounts (“street name” holders) will also need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting their stock ownership as of the record date. Cameras, cell phones, recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the Special Meeting.
 
Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid return envelope or, if you prefer, vote by telephone or via the internet by following the telephone and internet voting instructions described on the enclosed proxy card (or voting instruction form). You may revoke the proxy at any time prior to its exercise in the manner described in this proxy statement. Any stockholder present at the Special Meeting, including any adjournments or postponements of it, may revoke any previously-granted proxy and vote personally on the proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement. Executed proxy cards that are not marked with any instructions, and proxies submitted by telephone or via the internet without instructions, will be voted for the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and for the adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies. If you fail to return a properly-signed proxy card or to vote via telephone, the internet or in person at the Special Meeting, your shares effectively will be counted as a vote against the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement.
 
 
PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES AT THIS TIME.
 
By order of the board of directors,
Sincerely,
 
-S- RUSSELL P. WILSON
Russell P. Wilson
Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer,

SUMMARY TERM SHEET
 
This summary term sheet highlights selected information from this proxy statement and may not contain all the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire proxy statement and the other documents to which we have referred you. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” on page 59. Each item in this summary refers to the page of this document on which the applicable subject is discussed in more detail.
 
•  Overview
 
You are being asked to vote to approve a merger agreement (the “merger agreement”) that provides for the acquisition of Iomai Corporation (“Iomai,” the “company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “ours”) by Intercell AG, a joint stock corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Austria (“Intercell”). The proposed transaction is to be accomplished through a merger of Zebra Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercell (“Merger Sub”), with and into Iomai, with Iomai surviving, which we refer to as the “merger.”
 
•  The Companies (see page 11)
 
Iomai Corporation, 20 Firstfield Road, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878, Telephone: (301) 556-4500 (see page 11).

Intercell, a joint stock corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Austria, is a leading, vaccine-focused biotechnology company, that designs and develops vaccines for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases with substantial unmet medical need. Intercell’s common stock is traded on the Vienna Stock Exchange under the symbol “ICLL.”
 
Zebra Merger Sub, Inc., c/o Intercell AG, Campus Vienna Biocenter 6, 1030 Vienna, Austria, Telephone: +43 1 20620 0 (see page 11). Merger Sub is a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercell. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of Iomai by Intercell.
 
•  Our Reasons for the Merger (see page 18)
 
Our board of directors carefully considered the terms of the merger and the other strategic alternatives available to our company in deciding to enter into the merger agreement (which contemplates the related share exchange) and to recommend that stockholders vote FOR approval and adoption of the merger agreement.
 
For a description of the reasons considered by our board of directors, see “Reasons for the Recommendation of our Board of Directors” on page 18.
 
•  Recommendation of our Board of Directors (see page 18)
 
Our board of directors has unanimously determined that the terms of the merger agreement and the transactions described in the merger agreement are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Iomai and our stockholders. Our board of directors unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and FOR the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposal to approve the merger agreement.
 
•  Opinion of Cowen and Company, LLC (see page 21)
 
Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) rendered an oral opinion to our board of directors, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of the date of its opinion and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its written opinion dated May 12, 2008, the $6.60 in cash per share of our common stock to be received by the holders of our common stock (other than Intercell and its affiliates and the holders of our common stock party to the share exchange

agreement) pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. While Cowen provided a written fairness opinion to our board of directors, Iomai did not have a financial advisor with regard to the proposed merger.
 
The full text of the written opinion of Cowen, dated May 12, 2008, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex D. Cowen provided its opinion for the information and assistance of our board of directors in connection with its consideration of the transaction. The Cowen opinion is not a recommendation as to how any holder of our common stock should vote with respect to the merger. Pursuant to an engagement letter with Cowen, we have agreed to pay Cowen a customary fee for rendering its opinion, all of which became payable upon delivery of Cowen’s opinion to our board of directors.
 
•  The Special Meeting (see page 12)
 
  •      Date, Time and Place (see page 12). The special meeting of our stockholders will be held on August 1, 2008, at 9 a.m. local time, at 20 Firstfield Road, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20878. At the special meeting, our stockholders will be asked to approve and adopt the merger agreement.
 
  •      Record Date, Voting Power (see page 12). Our stockholders are entitled to vote at the special meeting if they are shown by our records to have owned shares of our common stock as of the close of business on July 2, 2008, the record date. On the record date, there were 25,745,083 shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting. Common stockholders will have one vote at the special meeting for each share of our common stock that they owned on the record date.
 
  •      Vote Required (see page 12). The approval and adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least a majority of shares of our common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date. Pursuant to a voting agreement entered into with Intercell, certain Iomai stockholders, including our executive officers, who own, in the aggregate, approximately 51% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the record date, have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to vote all of their shares in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement. The shares of Iomai common stock subject to the voting agreement constitute a majority of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting and therefore will satisfy the minimum vote necessary to approve and adopt the merger agreement at the special meeting. If the merger agreement is terminated in accordance with its provisions, the voting agreement will also terminate.
 
  •      Voting and Revocability of Proxies (see page 13). We are asking our stockholders to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy card and promptly return it in the pre-addressed accompanying envelope or, if you prefer, you can vote by telephone or via the internet by following the relevant instructions described on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form received from any broker, bank or other nominee that may hold shares of our common stock on your behalf. Brokers or banks holding shares in “street name” may vote the shares on our merger proposal only if the stockholder provides instructions on how to vote. Brokers or banks will provide stockholders for whom they hold shares with directions on how to give instructions to vote the shares. All properly submitted proxies that we receive before the vote at the special meeting, and that are not revoked, will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated on the proxies. If no direction is indicated on a properly submitted proxy, then the underlying shares will be voted FOR the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and FOR the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies. Failure to submit a signed proxy card or to vote by telephone, via the internet or in person at the special meeting will have the same effect as a vote against approval and adoption of the merger agreement. The adjournment or postponement proposal requires that holders of more of our shares of common stock vote in favor of the proposal than vote against the proposal. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the adjournment or postponement proposal. No proxy that is specifically marked AGAINST the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement will be voted in favor of the adjournment or postponement proposal, unless it is specifically marked FOR the discretionary authority to adjourn or postpone the special meeting to a later date.
 
We do not expect any other business to come before the special meeting. If other business properly comes before the special meeting, then the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with their judgment.

Table of Contents

A stockholder may revoke a previously-given proxy at any time prior to its use by delivering a signed notice of revocation or a later-dated, signed proxy to Iomai’s Secretary or by submitting a later-dated proxy instruction by telephone or via the internet. In addition, a stockholder may revoke a previously-given proxy by delivering, on the day of the special meeting, a signed notice of revocation or a later-dated signed proxy to the Secretary of Iomai. A stockholder also may revoke a previously-given proxy by attending the special meeting and voting in person. A stockholder’s attendance at the special meeting does not in itself result in the revocation of a previously-given proxy or cause the stockholder’s shares to be voted.
 
  •      Solicitation of Proxies and Expenses (see page 13). We will bear the cost and expense associated with our solicitation of proxies from our stockholders. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies from our stockholders by telephone, internet, facsimile or other electronic means or in person. Brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners.
 
•  The Merger (see page 14)
 
  •      The Merger Agreement (see page 40); Structure of the Merger (see page 36). The merger agreement being submitted for our stockholders’ approval and adoption as described in this proxy statement relates to the proposed acquisition of our company by Intercell. If the merger is completed, Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercell, will be merged with and into Iomai, we will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercell and our outstanding shares will be converted into the right to receive the cash consideration described below (see page 37). Among other things, the merger agreement contains detailed representations and warranties made by us to Intercell, covenants regarding the conduct of our business pending completion of the merger, consents and approvals required for and conditions to the completion of the merger, our ability to consider other acquisition proposals and terms of interim financing that may be provided by Intercell to Iomai.
 
  •      Consideration (see page 37). With effect from the closing of the merger, our stockholders will be entitled to receive, for each share of our common stock they hold, $6.60 in cash, without interest, other than shares subject to the share exchange described below (see page 52). The payments due to our stockholders, as well as to certain holders of our stock options or warrants as described below, may be reduced by the amount of any required tax withholding.
 
  •      Stock Options (see page 37). Under the merger agreement, each outstanding stock option issued under our 1998 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (whether or not then vested or exercisable), will be fully vested and exercisable no less than 30 days prior to the effective time of the merger, and upon the consummation of the merger, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, will be cancelled and terminated and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will, or will cause Iomai as the surviving corporation to, promptly, and in no event later than three business days after the effective time of the merger, pay to such holders of options, an amount in respect thereof equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of $6.60 over the exercise price of each such option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the option. No payments will be made with respect to stock options that have per share exercise prices above $6.60.
 
Under the merger agreement, each outstanding stock option issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that is scheduled to vest prior to the effective time of the merger, will be exercisable prior to the effective time of the merger, and upon the consummation of the merger, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, will be cancelled and terminated and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will replace such option with a fully vested option to purchase shares of Intercell common stock, which will be exercisable during specific exercise windows as provided by Intercell’s Employee Stock Option Plan. For each outstanding stock option issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that is unvested by its terms as of the effective time of the merger, upon the consummation of the merger, such option will be cancelled and terminated and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will replace such option with an unvested option to purchase shares of Intercell common stock, with the same vesting schedule the cancelled and terminated option had under Iomai’s 2005 Incentive Plan. The exercise price and number of shares subject to all such options to purchase Intercell common stock will be determined consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). The method of determining the exercise price and number of shares under the Intercell option is described in more detail in “Treatment of Our Stock Options and Warrants” on page 37.

Table of Contents

Iomai, as the surviving corporation, will treat such options to purchase shares of Intercell common stock for tax reporting and withholding purposes in accordance with the regulations and other applicable guidance under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the terms of our 2005 Incentive Plan, for options held by our non-employee directors, each outstanding option to purchase our common stock, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and terminated and will thereafter represent the right to receive, in consideration for such cancellation, a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the $6.60 per share merger consideration over the per share option exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock subject to the option.
 
The payments due to the holders of Iomai stock options may be reduced by the amount of any required tax withholding.
 
Upon the consummation of the merger, our 1998 Stock Option Plan, 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and 2005 Incentive Plan will terminate, and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of Iomai will be cancelled.
 
  •      Warrants (see page 37). Under the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the merger, each outstanding warrant to purchase common stock will only represent the right to receive cash consideration, without interest, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of $6.60 over the exercise price of each such warrant multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant. Following the merger, Intercell will, or will cause Iomai as the surviving corporation to, honor the obligation to pay such amounts under the warrants. No payment will be made with respect to warrants that have per share exercise prices equal to or greater than $6.60.
 
  •      Anticipated Closing (see page 37). We expect the merger to take effect promptly after the approval and adoption of the merger agreement by our stockholders and after all other conditions to the merger have been satisfied or waived. At present, we anticipate that the closing will occur by the end of the third quarter of 2008.
 
•  Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger (see page 29)
 
In considering the recommendation of our board of directors to vote for the proposal to approve the merger agreement, you should be aware that some of our directors and executive officers have personal interests in the merger that are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, your interests. We currently have agreements in place with Stanley C. Erck, Russell P. Wilson and Gregory M. Glenn that provide severance, which are described in more detail in “The Merger – Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” on page 29. Upon completion of the merger, (i) each outstanding option to purchase shares of our common stock issued under our 1998 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Incentive Plan that is held by our executive officers and our directors and (ii) each outstanding option to purchase shares of our common stock issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that is held by our non-employee directors will, whether or not it is vested, be cancelled and terminated in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the $6.60 per share merger consideration over the per share option exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock subject to the option. No payments will be made with respect to such stock options described above that have per share exercise prices above $6.60. Upon completion of the merger, each unexercised outstanding option to purchase shares of our common stock issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that is held by our executive officers will be cancelled and terminated in exchange for an option to purchase shares of Intercell common stock. After completion of the merger, the vesting and exercisability of options to purchase shares of Intercell common stock held by our executive officers upon termination of such officers’ employment is governed by agreements we have in place with such officers, which are described in more detail in “The Merger — Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” on page 29. The terms of the merger agreement also provide for the continuation of indemnification rights (for actions both before and after the merger) and liability insurance coverage for our current and former directors and executive officers. Our board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, when approving the merger agreement. For a more complete description, see “The Merger — Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 29.
 
  •      Shares Owned by Our Directors and Executive Officers (see page 55). Pursuant to a voting agreement with Intercell, certain Iomai stockholders, including our executive officers and New Enterprise Associates (and its related entities), which is an affiliate of M. James Barrett, the chairman of our board, have agreed to vote any shares of our common stock they own on the record date in favor of the merger agreement and to take or refrain from taking certain related actions. A copy of the voting agreement is included in this proxy statement as Annex B. All of our executive officers and directors who own shares of our common stock on the record date

On July 2, 2008, the record date, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned and were entitled to vote shares of our common stock representing approximately 26% of the shares of our common stock outstanding on that date. Additionally, New Enterprise Associates (and its related entities), which is an affiliate of M. James Barrett, the chairman of our board, has entered into a share exchange agreement, whereby it agreed to, among other things, exchange all shares of Iomai common stock held by it into shares of Intercell common stock, prior to the effective time of the merger. A copy of the share exchange agreement is included in this proxy statement as Annex C. For a more complete description of the voting agreement and the share exchange, see “Share Exchange and Voting Agreements” beginning on page 52.
 
•  Share Exchange and Voting Agreements (see pages 52-54)
 
Iomai stockholders owning an aggregate of approximately 41% of our outstanding common stock as of the record date, have entered into a share exchange agreement with Intercell, whereby each such stockholder has agreed to, among other things, exchange all shares of Iomai common stock held by such stockholder into shares of Intercell common stock prior to the effective time of the merger. Each share of Iomai common stock held by such stockholder will be exchanged for the number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) of Intercell common stock equal to $6.60 divided by the closing sale price for Intercell common stock on the Vienna Stock Exchange on the closing date of the share exchange (with such closing price being converted from Euros to U.S. Dollars). Iomai stockholders owning an aggregate of approximately 51% of our outstanding common stock as of the record date have entered into a voting agreement with Intercell, whereby each such stockholder has agreed to vote any shares of our common stock owned by such stockholder on the record date in favor of the merger agreement and to take or refrain from taking certain related actions.
 
A copy of the voting agreement is included in this proxy statement as Annex B and a copy of the share exchange agreement is included in this proxy statement as Annex C. For a more complete description, see “Share Exchange and Voting Agreements” beginning on page 52.
 
•  Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (see page 34)
 
The receipt of $6.60 in cash for each share of our common stock pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will generally recognize a capital gain or loss as a result of the merger with respect to each of your shares measured by the difference, if any, between $6.60 per share you receive and your adjusted tax basis in that share. Generally, your adjusted tax basis in a share is the amount you paid for it.
 
The receipt of cash in exchange for outstanding stock options or warrants will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A holder of warrants will generally recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash the holder receives and the adjusted tax basis, if any, of such holder in the warrants surrendered. Holders of stock options will generally recognize ordinary income (subject to income tax and employment tax withholding, in the case of an option granted in connection with employment) equal to the amount of cash they receive in respect of the surrendered stock options. In the case of a stock option holder who exercises an option in connection with the merger and then sells the stock for cash as described above, any gain on the sale will generally be measured by reference to an adjusted tax basis in the stock that includes any ordinary income that is recognized upon exercise or, in the case of a so-called “incentive stock option,” upon sale of the stock.
 
You should read “The Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 34 for a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to stockholders. Tax matters can be complicated and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on your particular tax situation. You are urged to consult your tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences to you of the merger, including the applicability of federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
 
•  Appraisal Rights (see page 35)
 
If the merger is consummated, stockholders at the effective time of the merger will have certain rights pursuant to the provisions of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporate Law (DGCL) to dissent and demand appraisal of their shares. Under Section 262, dissenting stockholders who comply with the applicable statutory procedures will be entitled to demand

payment of fair value for their shares. If a stockholder and the surviving corporation in the merger do not agree on such fair value, the stockholder will have the right to a judicial determination of fair value of such stockholder’s shares (exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger) and to receive payment of such fair value in cash, together with any interest as determined by the Delaware Chancery Court. Any such judicial determination of the fair value of such shares could be based upon factors other than, or in addition to, the $6.60 price per share or the market value of such shares. The value so determined could be more or less than $6.60.
 
The foregoing summary of the Section 262 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL. A complete text of Section 262 of the DGCL is set forth as Annex E hereto.
 
You should read “The Merger — Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 35 for a more complete discussion of the appraisal rights in relation to the merger.
 
•  Conditions to Completing the Merger (see page 48)
 
Among other conditions that will need to be satisfied or waived in order to complete the merger, at least a majority of shares of our common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date must be voted FOR approval and adoption of the merger agreement, and the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement between Intercell and certain Iomai stockholders shall have been consummated.
 
The completion of the merger is also subject to other customary closing conditions, including that there be no law enacted that prohibits the consummation of the merger or the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and no injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction that will be continuing and prohibits the consummation of the merger or the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The parties have satisfied the closing conditions requiring termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
 
•  Termination of the Merger Agreement (see page 49)
 
The merger agreement contains provisions addressing the circumstances under which we or Intercell may terminate the merger agreement.
 
A COPY OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT IS INCLUDED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT AS ANNEX A. YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO READ IT CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER AND THE SPECIAL MEETING
 
The following questions and answers are intended to briefly address some commonly asked questions regarding the merger, the merger agreement and the special meeting. These questions and answers do not address all questions that may be important to you as an Iomai stockholder. Please refer to the “Summary Term Sheet” and the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement, the annexes to this proxy statement and the documents referred to in this proxy statement, which you should read carefully.
 
Q: What am I being asked to vote on?
 
A: You are being asked to vote to approve the merger agreement that provides for the acquisition of Iomai by Intercell. The proposed transaction is to be accomplished through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Iomai, with Iomai surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercell. As a result of the merger:
 
•     Iomai will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercell;
 
•     our common stock will cease to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market, and no longer will be publicly traded;
 
•     we will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and
 
•     each outstanding share of our common stock will be converted into the right to receive $6.60 in cash, without interest.
 
Prior to the closing of the merger, Iomai stockholders owning, in the aggregate, approximately 41% of the shares of outstanding Iomai common stock as of July 2, 2008, will exchange their shares of Iomai common stock, at a $6.60 per share value, for shares of Intercell common stock, which we refer to as the “share exchange.” You are not being asked to vote on the share exchange; however, the share exchange is contemplated by the merger agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement is a condition to the closing of the merger.
 
Q: Why is my vote important?
 
A: Your vote is important because, among other things, in order for us to complete the merger, at least a majority of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting have to be voted in favor of approving and adopting the merger agreement. Accordingly, your failure to vote, including by abstaining or as a result of broker non-votes, will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement.
 
Q: Who is entitled to vote at the special meeting?
 
A: Holders of record of shares of Iomai common stock as of the close of business on July 2, 2008, the record date for the special meeting, are entitled to vote at the special meeting, or at any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.
 
Q: What vote is required to approve the merger agreement?
 
A: Stockholders holding at least a majority of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting must vote FOR approval and adoption of the merger agreement for it to be validly approved. Pursuant to a voting agreement entered into with Intercell, certain Iomai stockholders, including our executive officers, who own, in the aggregate, approximately 51% of the outstanding shares of Iomai common stock as of the record date, have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to vote all of their shares in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. The shares of Iomai common stock subject to the voting agreement constitute a majority of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting and therefore will satisfy the minimum vote necessary to approve and adopt the merger agreement at the special meeting. If the merger agreement is terminated in accordance with its provisions, the voting agreement will also terminate.

Q: How does our board of directors recommend that I vote?
 
A: Our board of directors unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and FOR the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement. You should read “The Merger — Reasons for the Recommendation of our Board of Directors,” beginning on page 18, for a discussion of the factors that our board of directors considered in deciding to recommend the approval and adoption of the merger agreement.
 
Q: What will I receive in the merger?
 
A: Subject to the terms of the merger agreement, in the merger, each issued and outstanding share of Iomai common stock automatically will be converted into the right to receive $6.60 in cash, without interest. The actual payment to you may be reduced by the amount of any required tax withholding.
 
Prior to the closing of the merger, Iomai stockholders owning, in the aggregate, approximately 41% of the shares of outstanding Iomai common stock as of the record date, will exchange their shares of Iomai common stock, at a $6.60 per share value, for shares of common stock of Intercell.
 
Q: What will happen to my outstanding stock options?
 
A: Under the merger agreement, each outstanding stock option issued under our 1998 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (whether or not then vested or exercisable), will be fully vested and exercisable no less than 30 days prior to the effective time of the merger, and upon the consummation of the merger, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, will be cancelled and terminated and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will, or will cause Iomai as the surviving corporation to, promptly, and in no event later than three business days after the effective time of the merger, pay to such holders of options, an amount in respect thereof equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of $6.60 over the exercise price of each such option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the option. No payments will be made with respect to stock options that have per share exercise prices above $6.60.
 
Under the merger agreement, each outstanding stock option issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that is scheduled to vest prior to the effective time of the merger, will be exercisable prior to the effective time of the merger, and upon the consummation of the merger, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, will be cancelled and terminated and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will replace such option with a fully vested option to purchase shares of Intercell common stock, which will be exercisable during specific exercise windows as provided by Intercell’s Employee Stock Option Plan. For each outstanding stock option issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that is unvested by its terms as of the effective time of the merger, upon the consummation of the merger, such option will be cancelled and terminated and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will replace such option with an unvested option to purchase shares of Intercell common stock, with the same vesting schedule the cancelled and terminated option had under Iomai’s 2005 Incentive Plan. The exercise price and number of shares subject to all such options to purchase Intercell common stock will be determined consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). The method of determining the exercise price and number of shares under the Intercell option is described in more detail in “Treatment of Our Stock Options and Warrants” on page 37. Iomai, as the surviving corporation, will treat such options to purchase shares of Intercell common stock for tax reporting and withholding purposes in accordance with the regulations and other applicable guidance under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the terms of our 2005 Incentive Plan, for options held by our non-employee directors, each outstanding option to purchase our common stock, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and terminated and will thereafter represent the right to receive, in consideration for such cancellation, a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the $6.60 per share merger consideration over the per share option exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock subject to the option.
 
The payments due to the holders of Iomai stock options may be reduced by the amount of any required tax withholding.

Table of Contents

 
Upon the consummation of the merger, our 1998 Stock Option Plan, 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and 2005 Incentive Plan will terminate, and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of Iomai will be cancelled.
 
Q: What will happen to my outstanding warrants?
 
A: Under the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the merger, each outstanding warrant to purchase Iomai common stock will only represent the right to receive cash consideration, without interest, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of $6.60 over the exercise price of each such warrant multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Iomai common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant. Following the merger, Intercell will, or will cause Iomai as the surviving corporation to, honor the obligation to pay such amounts under the warrants. The payments due to the holders of Iomai warrants may be reduced by the amount of any required tax withholding.
 
Q: What do I need to do now?
 
A: After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed postage-paid return envelope as soon as possible or, if you prefer, you can vote by telephone or via the internet by following the relevant instructions described on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form received from any broker, bank or other nominee that may hold shares of our common stock on your behalf. If you sign and send in your proxy card and do not mark it to show how you want to vote, or if you submit a proxy by telephone or via the internet without providing instructions, we will count your proxy as a vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting to solicit additional proxies.
 
Q: Can I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy or voted by telephone or via the internet?
 
A: Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the special meeting. You can do this in one of four ways. First, you can send a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy. Second, you can complete and submit a new proxy bearing a later date. Third, you can submit a later-dated proxy instruction by telephone or via the internet. If you choose any of these three methods, then you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy to us before the special meeting either by telephone, via the internet or at Iomai Corporation, 20 Firstfield Road, Gaithersburg, MD 20878, Attention: Investor Relations, as the case may be. Finally, you can attend the special meeting and deliver a signed notice of revocation, deliver a later-dated duly executed proxy or vote in person. Your attendance at the special meeting will not, in and of itself, result in the revocation of a proxy or cause your shares to be voted.
 
Q: What happens if I do not submit a proxy or vote by telephone or via the internet or in person at the special meeting?
 
A: Because the required vote of our stockholders is based upon the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, rather than upon the number of shares actually voted, any failure by a holder of Iomai common stock to vote for the approval and adoption of the merger agreement, in person at the special meeting or by proxy, including abstentions and broker non-votes, will have the same effect as a vote against the approval and adoption of the merger agreement.
 
Q: If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker or bank, will my broker or bank automatically vote my shares for me?
 
A: No. Your broker or bank is allowed to vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should follow the directions provided by your broker or bank regarding how to instruct your broker or bank to vote your shares. Without instructions, your shares will not be voted, which will have the same effect as a vote against the approval and adoption of the merger agreement.

Q: When is the special meeting and where will it be held?
 
A: The special meeting will take place on August 1, 2008, at 9 a.m. local time, at 20 Firstfield Road, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878. You may attend the special meeting and vote your shares in person, rather than completing, signing, dating and returning your proxy. If you wish to vote in person and your shares are held by a broker or other nominee, you need to obtain a proxy from the broker or other nominee authorizing you to vote your shares held in the broker’s name.
 
Q: May I vote via the internet or telephone?
 
A: Yes, by following the telephone and internet voting instructions described on the enclosed proxy card or in the voting instruction form received from any broker, bank or other nominee that holds shares of our common stock on your behalf.
 
Q: Should I send in my stock certificates now?
 
A: No. Stockholders who hold their shares in certificated form will need to exchange their Iomai stock certificates for cash after the merger is completed. We will send stockholders instructions for exchanging their stock certificates at that time. Stockholders who hold their shares in book-entry form also will receive instructions for exchanging their shares after we complete the merger. Please do not send in your stock certificates with your proxy.
 
Q: When do you expect the merger to be completed?
 
A: In addition to obtaining Iomai stockholder approval, the parties must satisfy various other closing conditions, including that there be no law enacted that prohibits the consummation of the merger or the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and no injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction that will be continuing and prohibits the consummation of the merger or the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and that the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement between Intercell and certain Iomai stockholders have been consummated. The parties have satisfied the closing conditions requiring termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. We expect to complete the merger promptly following satisfaction of the other closing conditions, which we currently expect to occur during the third quarter of 2008.
 
Q: Where can I learn more about Intercell?
 
A: Information about Intercell is available from its 2007 Annual Report, which can be obtained for free from its website at www.intercell.com.
 
Q: Who can help answer my questions?

THE SPECIAL MEETING
 
We are furnishing this proxy statement to our stockholders, as of the record date, as part of our solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the special meeting.
 
Date, Time and Place
 
The special meeting of our stockholders will be held on August 1, 2008, at 9 a.m. local time, at 20 Firstfield Road, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878.
 
Purpose of the Special Meeting
 
At the special meeting, we will ask our stockholders to approve and adopt the merger agreement. Our board of directors unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and FOR the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.
 
Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote; Quorum
 
Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on July 2, 2008, the record date, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting. On the record date, 25,745,083 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and held by approximately 130 holders of record. A quorum will be considered present at the special meeting if a majority of all the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding on the record date and entitled to vote at the special meeting are represented at the special meeting in person or by a properly submitted proxy. If a quorum is not present at the special meeting, then it is expected that the meeting will be adjourned or postponed to solicit additional proxies. Holders of record of our common stock on the record date are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at the special meeting.
 
All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the special meeting who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the special meeting.
 
Vote Required
 
The approval and adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding on the record date. Because the required vote of our stockholders is based upon the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, rather than upon the shares actually voted, the failure by the holder of any such shares to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting, including abstentions and broker non-votes, will have the same effect as a vote against the approval and adoption of the merger agreement. The proposal to adjourn or postpone the meeting to a later time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy and voting at the special meeting. Intercell has informed us that at the close of business on the record date, Intercell, Merger Sub and their affiliates did not own any shares of our common stock outstanding on that date, although they have rights under the share exchange and voting agreements, as discussed on pages 52-54. Pursuant to a voting agreement entered into with Intercell, Iomai stockholders, including our executive officers, who own, in the aggregate, approximately 51% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the record date, have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to vote all of their shares in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement. The shares of Iomai common stock subject to the voting agreement constitute a majority of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting and therefore will satisfy the minimum vote necessary to approve and adopt the merger agreement at the special meeting. If the merger agreement is terminated in accordance with its provisions, the voting agreement will also terminate.
 
Shares Owned by Our Directors and Executive Officers
 
At the close of business on the record date, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned and were entitled to vote, in the aggregate, 6,587,143 shares of our common stock outstanding on that date. Pursuant to the voting agreement with Intercell, our executive officers and New Enterprise Associates (and its related entities), which is an affiliate of M. James Barrett, the chairman


12


Table of Contents

of our board, have agreed to vote any shares of our common stock they own on the record date in favor of the merger agreement and to take or refrain from taking certain related actions.
 
Voting of Proxies
 
All shares represented by properly submitted proxies received before the special meeting will be voted at the special meeting in the manner specified by such proxies. Properly executed proxy cards and proxies submitted by telephone and via the internet that do not provide voting instructions will be voted FOR the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and FOR the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies. Shares of our common stock represented at the special meeting but not voting, including shares of our common stock for which proxies have been received but with respect to which holders of shares have abstained, will be treated as present at the special meeting for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of all business.
 
Only shares affirmatively voted for the approval and adoption of the merger agreement, including shares represented by properly submitted proxies that do not contain voting instructions, will be counted as favorable votes for that proposal. If a stockholder abstains from voting or does not furnish a valid proxy, the stockholder’s shares effectively will count as voted against the approval and adoption of the merger agreement. Brokers or banks who hold shares of our common stock in “street name” for customers who are the beneficial owners of such shares may not give a proxy to vote those customers’ shares in the absence of specific instructions from those customers. If no instructions are given to the broker or bank holding shares, or if instructions are given to the broker or bank indicating that the broker or bank does not have authority to vote on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement, then, in either case, the shares will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, will not be voted on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and will effectively count as votes against the approval and adoption of the merger agreement.
 
We do not expect that any matter other than the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement will be brought before the special meeting. If, however, other matters are brought before the special meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with their judgment.
 
Revocability of Proxies
 
A stockholder can change a vote or revoke a previously-given proxy at any time before the proxy is voted at the special meeting. A stockholder may accomplish this in one of four ways. First, a stockholder can send a written notice stating that the stockholder would like to revoke the stockholder’s previously-given proxy. Second, a stockholder can complete and submit a new proxy bearing a later date. Third, a stockholder can submit a later-dated proxy instruction by telephone or via the internet. If a stockholder chooses any of these three methods, the stockholder must submit the notice of revocation or new proxy to us prior to the special meeting either by telephone, via the internet or at Iomai Corporation, 20 Firstfield Road, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20878, Attention: Investor Relations, as the case may be. Finally, a stockholder can attend the special meeting and deliver a signed notice of revocation or deliver a later-dated duly executed proxy to the Secretary of Iomai or vote in person. Attendance at the special meeting will not in and of itself result in the revocation of a proxy or cause your shares to be voted. If you have instructed your broker to vote your shares, you must follow the directions provided by your broker to change these instructions.
 
Solicitation of Proxies
 
We will bear the cost of our solicitation of proxies from our stockholders. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone or other electronic means or in person. We will cause brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons. We will reimburse such custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in doing so.
 
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SEND STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH THEIR PROXIES. A transmittal form with instructions for the surrender of certificates representing shares of our common stock in exchange for the $6.60 per share merger consideration will be mailed to stockholders shortly after completion of the merger.

THE MERGER
 
While we believe that the following description covers the material terms of the merger and the related transactions, this summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire proxy statement, including the annexes, and the other documents we refer to for a more complete understanding of the merger and the related transactions.
 
Background of the Merger
 
In August 2007, we announced interim data from a Phase 2 field trial of our needle-free travelers’ diarrhea vaccine that indicated that people who received the vaccine before traveling to Mexico or Guatemala were significantly less likely to report clinically significant diarrhea. In that study, we observed that travelers who received our needle-free travelers’ diarrhea vaccine were significantly less likely to be sickened as compared with travelers who received a placebo. Based on the results from this trial, we planned to move quickly to complete our Phase 2 work for our travelers’ diarrhea vaccine in 2008, which could allow a Phase 3 efficacy study in travelers to Guatemala and Mexico during summer of 2009, when the travelers’ diarrhea season in Latin America is at its peak.
 
At that time, we recognized that the remaining development program and potential commercialization of our travelers’ diarrhea vaccine would require substantial additional cash to fund those expenses. In particular, we estimated that we would require between $100 to $130 million to fund our travelers’ diarrhea program through licensure, including $30 to $45 million in third-party clinical trial expenses, and given our limited cash reserves of $26.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2007, we would likely need to raise up to $100 million in additional funds to advance our needle-free travelers’ diarrhea vaccine. Accordingly, we adopted a strategy to identify and select leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as potential collaborators to assist us in furthering development and potential commercialization of this product candidate.
 
As part of this process, we commissioned a study from LEK Consulting for the travelers’ diarrhea market which determined that there was a large market for an effective travelers’ diarrhea vaccine; potentially between approximately $660 million and $800 million in annual sales. This study was a top-level analysis of the revenue potential of the travelers’ diarrhea market, and was based on information from secondary sources and interviews with 38 travel medicine doctors in the US and EU. We recognized that at a later time, we would need to commission a more detailed assessment with more extensive primary research of physicians, customers and experts, along with more thorough research on pricing, market penetration and competitive products, in order to develop a detailed business plan for this product. In the fall of 2007, armed with the market study and the recent Phase 2 field trial data, we contacted a number of leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as potential collaborators for this program. During this period, we underwent program due diligence visits by several potential collaborators.
 
To increase the likelihood of contacting as many potential partners as possible, in late November 2007, we engaged JSB Partners, LP (“JSB”), a global transaction advisory firm with relationships with a large number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, to run an auction process to maximize our value for this program. Through its engagement, JSB served as an external business development resource to prepare materials to market our travelers’ diarrhea program to potential partners and to make introductions to potential partners beyond those with which we already had relationships. With JSB’s assistance, we systematically contacted 89 potential collaborators to apprise their interest in our travelers’ diarrhea program. Ultimately, after contacting 89 companies, providing confidential materials to 17 of those companies, and conducting discussions with nine of those companies, we ended up with offers from four companies, each of which we had wide-ranging dealings over a number of years. These proposals included two modest proposals for our travelers’ diarrhea program and two offers to acquire the entire company. Of the nine companies with whom we had discussions, they included three global pharmaceutical companies, two European pharmaceutical companies and four biotechnology companies with interests in infectious diseases, including Intercell. In the end, we decided to not focus on discussions with the two European pharmaceutical companies and three of the four biotechnology companies because they were either not sufficiently advanced in the negotiating process or not committed to meet our timelines for concluding a transaction.
 
As part of this process, one of the companies we contacted was Intercell. Since 2001, we have had periodic discussions with Intercell regarding possible opportunities for collaboration on various programs, including a face-to-face meeting in February 2007 between members of both companies’ senior management for an in-depth review of both companies’ programs. At an industry conference in early January 2008, our president, Stanley C. Erck, met with Intercell’s chief executive officer, Gerd Zettlmeissl, and our chief financial officer, Russell P. Wilson, met separately with Intercell’s chief financial officer, Werner Lanthaler. At these meetings, Intercell stated that it was interested in a strategic combination of the two companies. At the time, we indicated that Iomai was not for sale and that our preference was for a travelers’ diarrhea vaccine partnership, which could complement Intercell’s travelers’ vaccine to prevent Japanese Encephalitis.

On January 22 and 23, 2008, Mr. Erck, Mr. Wilson, our chief scientific officer, Gregory Glenn, and our vice president of business development, Kai Chen, visited Intercell’s offices in Vienna, Austria to meet with Dr. Zettlmeissl, Dr. Lanthaler, Intercell’s chief scientific officer, Alexander von Gabain, and others from Intercell, to explore possible collaborative opportunities. After the two days of discussions, Intercell once again indicated that it was interested in a combination of the two companies. Again, we indicated that Iomai was not for sale and that we were evaluating other potential offers for supporting our travelers’ diarrhea program, which still remained our preference.
 
At the February 14, 2008 meeting of our board of directors, our president, Mr. Erck, summarized for the board of directors the status of various partnering discussions, focusing on particular terms under negotiation, including which of our products the potential partners were exploring, the potential cost-sharing arrangements and the scope of the proposal partnerships. The discussion also covered Intercell’s expression of interest regarding a potential business combination transaction. Our board of directors confirmed that the company was not for sale and intended to remain independent because the proposal from Intercell did not properly value our Company and we had the opportunity to obtain potentially stronger terms in a partnering transaction, and charged management to encourage Intercell to focus on partnering transactions.
 
On February 22, 2008, we received a letter from Intercell expressing its interest in engaging in discussions regarding a potential acquisition of our company. The letter included a non-binding term sheet that proposed a merger at a per share cash price of approximately $2.86. Intercell noted its view that there are significant synergies between the two companies, such as excellent product fit in the travelers’ vaccine segment, a territorial fit between Europe and the United States and a complementary technology basis between Intercell’s antigen and adjuvant discovery programs and our transcutaneous immunization technology.
 
On March 7, 2008, members of senior management from both Iomai and Intercell, including Mr. Erck, Mr. Wilson, Dr. Zettlmeissl and Intercell’s head of finance, Reinhard Kandera, met to further explore potential strategic opportunities. At the time, we explored with Intercell potential collaboration scenarios beyond the proposed transaction structure. Intercell continued to press for an acquisition of our company and, at the meeting, verbally offered an increased per share price of $4.50 through a combination of cash and stock. Intercell determined that, in order for Intercell to increase its offer from the initial proposal, it would need to provide some of the acquisition consideration in the form of Intercell stock. The stock component enabled Intercell to provide a more favorable offer to acquire Iomai. Intercell indicated that since it was not interested at this time in becoming a registrant under U.S. securities laws, its shares would only be issued in the U.S. in a private placement to a limited number of our stockholders pursuant to a share exchange agreement. Our management indicated that the company was not for sale, but that they would convey Intercell’s proposal to our board of directors.
 
That same day, we received an indication of interest from a division of a global pharmaceutical company (Company A), which proposed an acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the company in cash. During the next several days, our management consulted with members of our board of directors individually. Based on the input from those conversations, management conveyed to Company A that the company was not for sale and, in any event, had received an acquisition proposal from another party at a significantly higher price.
 
On March 20, 2008, our board of directors met to review the status of our recent discussions with potential commercial partners. Mr. Erck updated the board of directors on the proposals from Intercell and Company A, both of whom had expressed interest in a business combination as opposed to a partnering arrangement. At that time, the board of directors confirmed that our company was not currently for sale, but that management should explore the interest in potential business combinations. The board of directors determined that pursuing those discussions would inform the company’s evaluation of options, and enhance the company’s alternatives, in the event a partnering transaction could not be negotiated that addressed the company’s financial situation. Mr. Erck then discussed recent negotiations for a potential partnering transaction with a global pharmaceutical company (Company B), including proposed upfront and milestone payments, and cost-sharing and royalty arrangements for our programs. After a detailed discussion, our board of directors charged management with pursuing improved terms for a partnering transaction. In light of the terms then proposed by Company B, the board of directors also charged management with seeking to negotiate improved proposals from the entities expressing interest in potential business combination transactions.
 
On March 26, 2008, our board of directors met again to review the status of partnering discussions, along with other business development initiatives. During the meeting, the directors discussed recent interactions with particular commercial partners, including negotiations around partnering the travelers’ diarrhea program and other programs with Company B. The discussion then turned to the companies that had expressed specific interest in a business combination with our company. The discussion covered the interactions during the last month, the status of discussions, and options going forward. The directors and management also discussed the company’s cash position, which was expected to fund current operations through late July or perhaps early August 2008. The board of directors confirmed our company’s strategic goal of remaining independent, but charged management with learning about potential alternatives and the possibility of pursuing one of those alternatives; consideration of which would depend upon the outcome of negotiations with potential commercial partners and other developments.

On April 2, 2008, we received a second unsolicited offer from Company A. At this time, Company A provided us with a non-binding indication of interest proposing that Company A would acquire, in a negotiated transaction, all of the outstanding shares of Iomai for cash, at a price of $3.70 per share that was an increase from Company A’s original prior all cash offer of $2.70 per share.
 
During March and April 2008, we actively engaged in discussions with Company B and another global pharmaceutical company (Company C) to improve the terms of potential collaborations involving our programs. We exchanged multiple term sheets with Company B for various programs; however, in the end, the proposals from Company B were modest and did not provide sufficient funding to allow us to stay independent without a dilutive financing. At the same time, we had multiple discussions with Company C, seeking to have Company C provide some level of up-front funding and coverage of our costs for one, or more, of our influenza programs. Both Company B and Company C rejected proposals to consider strategic alternatives with us, such as a potential acquisition at or above price levels then being proposed by Company A and Intercell.
 
On April 4, 2008, the board of directors met again to review developments in discussions with possible commercial and strategic partners that had occurred since the March 20, 2008 meeting of the board of directors, including Company B possibly re-emerging as a potential serious candidate for a partnering arrangement. Our board of directors discussed the existing partnering proposals and the two business combination proposals. Our board of directors considered alternative potential paths, as well as uncertainties on various fronts, and judged that, at this time, remaining independent remained the strategic goal, but acknowledged that this conclusion would require reconsideration if we were not able to obtain stronger partnering proposals from Company B or Company C. Our board of directors then provided management with guidance for responding to existing indications of interests for potential partnering and strategic transactions.
 
From April 7 through April 10, 2008, members of Intercell, including Dr. von Gabain, Intercell’s Chief Operating Officer, Thomas Lingelbach, Dr. Kandera and other members of its senior management team, along with their legal and financial advisors, visited our offices to conduct due diligence on our operations, finances and development programs.
 
On April 18, 2008, we received a third proposal from Company A. Once again, Company A provided us with a non-binding indication of interest. In this letter, Company A indicated that it would acquire, in a negotiated transaction, all of the outstanding shares of Iomai for cash, at a price of $5.15 per share, which was an increase from Company A’s two prior all cash offers.
 
On April 19, 2008, we communicated to Intercell that its proposal was substantially below another indication of interest. Intercell wanted to enter into exclusive negotiations, so Mr. Erck, after conferring with members of our board of directors, indicated that we would not enter into exclusive negotiations unless Intercell’s offer were well above $6.00 per share. Intercell then proposed a transaction at $6.60 per share in cash and Intercell common stock, but insisted that its proposal was conditioned upon us entering into exclusive negotiations with Intercell until July 21, 2008 and was further conditioned on obtaining the agreement of certain of our large stockholders to vote their shares of our common stock in favor of the transaction. After receipt of this proposal, our management contacted Company A to discuss its latest proposal in light of Intercell’s proposal. Company A determined not to submit a competing proposal at that time.
 
At a meeting on April 20, 2008, our board of directors met to review developments in discussions with possible commercial and strategic partners that had occurred since the April 4, 2008 meeting of the board, including substantial increases in the prices proposed by potential business combination counter-parties. Mr. Erck recounted the background to our collaboration discussions and outlined the current status of those discussions, focusing on the most recent proposal from Company B, in which Company B had made only minimal changes to the financial terms. Company B continued to propose a cost-sharing arrangement for our various programs that provided for modest upfront and milestone payments coupled with a royalty rate payable to us that management believed did not adequately reflect our contribution to the development of the programs. The terms also included options for Company B to acquire exclusive licenses to other potentially valuable programs on similarly unfavorable terms. In the end, management’s assessment was that these proposals from Company B would cause us to surrender substantial future revenues associated with our programs and would not provide us with sufficient funding to allow us to stay independent without a dilutive financing. Mr. Erck noted management’s disappointment with the terms of this proposal due to Company B being unwilling to agree to sufficient upfront funding and cost sharing arrangements and outlined the potential risks and benefits of pursuing this licensing transaction, with particular focus on the impact on our cash needs and resources, including the fact that, at the end of March 2008, we had approximately $9.8 million in cash and about $1.4 million in receivables due from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that we could reasonably expect to receive over the next few months. Based on our monthly expenses, we estimated that we would, absent changes in operations, run out of cash in late July, or possibly early August 2008.
 
Our directors and management also discussed several matters, including the lack of progress in licensing negotiations with Company C, which management had earlier thought might lead to a significant licensing transaction.

Mr. Erck then reviewed with the board of directors the two business combination inquiries and noted the following developments. Intercell began with a $2.86 per share proposal, and had, through a series of increasing offers, ultimately increased its proposal to $6.60 per share. Company A had initially indicated an interest at buying Iomai at $2.70 per share, and had, through a series of increasing offers, ultimately increased its proposal to $5.15 per share. Mr. Erck also reviewed the considerable back and forth discussions with Intercell and Company A and provided an update as to the status of those discussions as of April 20, 2008. He noted that the offer from Intercell would expire at midnight on April 20, 2008 and that the offer from Company A would expire at 5:00 p.m. on the same day. Mr. Erck also noted that Intercell stated that it would only proceed, however, if the company agreed to negotiate exclusively with them. The board of directors discussed the terms being proposed by Intercell and highlighted for management the board’s views on terms for a potential transaction. While the board of directors considered many factors other than market prices, it noted that the proposed $6.60 price represented a premium of (1) 191% to the closing price of Iomai common stock on April 18, 2008 and (2) 517% to the closing price of Iomai common stock the day prior to Intercell’s first acquisition proposal. Legal counsel then briefly described the board of directors’ fiduciary duties in a sale of the company.
 
At the end of this discussion, management recommended that the board of directors approve entering into exclusive negotiations with Intercell. Our directors expressed support for this approach but determined that Intercell’s request for exclusivity through July 21, 2008 represented too long a period, particularly in light of the company’s financial position. Mr. Erck again noted the significant price increases in the proposals over the last several weeks and his perception of the risk of losing the Intercell proposal if we were unwilling to commit to exclusive negotiations at that time. Our board of directors then charged management to negotiate a possible business combination transaction with Intercell, including agreeing to exclusivity for a period of up to 30 days. Our directors insisted that any contract that was negotiated contain a “fiduciary out” to enable us to accept a superior bid, subject to paying a break-up fee.
 
During April 20 through April 23, 2008, we had further discussions with Intercell regarding the requirements of Intercell’s proposal that certain large stockholders agree to exchange their Iomai common stock for Intercell common stock at the $6.60 value and vote their shares of our common stock in favor of the transactions, as well as the terms of the exclusivity letter required by Intercell.
 
On April 23, 2008, we entered into an exclusivity agreement with Intercell and commenced negotiating the merger agreement. The exclusivity agreement provided for a period of exclusivity from April 23, 2008 through the end of May 12, 2008, during which time we agreed to negotiate exclusively with Intercell regarding a possible business combination transaction. Between April 23, 2008 and signing of the merger agreement, Iomai and Intercell and their respective outside counsel spent considerable time negotiating terms of the merger agreement and exchanged multiple drafts of the merger agreement in the process of these negotiations.
 
On April 24, 2008, Mr. Erck, Mr. Wilson, Dr. Zettlmeissl and Dr. Lanthaler met with New Enterprises Associates, one of our large stockholders and an affiliate of M. James Barrett, our chairman of the board, to discuss the proposed terms of the transactions. On April 25, 2008, Dr. Zettlmeissl and Dr. Lanthaler met with Essex Woodlands Health Ventures, another of our large stockholders, to discuss the proposed terms of the transactions. Based on these discussions, each of these stockholders separately indicated that, if Intercell were able to negotiate a definitive contract with us on the proposed terms, they likely would be amenable to supporting the transaction, including by entering into the voting agreement and participating in the share exchange on negotiated terms. On May 8, 2008, Dr. Zettlmeissl and Mr. Kandera spoke telephonically with Technology Partners, ProQuest Investments and Gruber and McBaine Capital Management, other of our large stockholders, to discuss the proposed terms of the transactions. On May 9, Mr. Kandera conducted follow-up conversations with these stockholders. Based on these discussions, each of Technology Partners, ProQuest Investments and Gruber and McBaine Capital Management agreed to enter into the voting agreement, and Gruber and McBaine Capital Management agreed to participate in the share exchange with Intercell.
 
Prior to a board meeting on May 7, 2008, the directors were provided with the then current draft of the merger agreement. At the meeting, Mr. Erck summarized the process of negotiation with Intercell since the April 20, 2008 meeting of the board of directors. Management noted key negotiating points, including the terms of the proposed interim financing and the structure of and payment options regarding the termination fee, and the proposed resolution of those points. Outside counsel outlined other proposed terms of the transaction and reminded the directors of certain legal issues to consider in evaluating the process and the potential merger agreement with Intercell. The directors asked questions about the negotiations and provided feedback to management on proceeding with the negotiations. Mr. Wilson, noted that Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) had commenced analysis of the consideration to be received in the potential transaction but that we had not yet formally engaged Cowen. After discussion, the board of directors authorized management to engage Cowen to provide a fairness opinion to our board of directors.
 
A special meeting of our board of directors was held telephonically on May 12, 2008 to discuss the proposed terms of the transaction, with representatives of Cowen present for a portion of the meeting. In advance of this telephonic meeting, a final draft of the merger agreement and related materials were circulated to our board of directors, along with materials from Cowen relating

to their analysis. At the meeting, Cowen explained the analysis they had performed and delivered to our board of directors an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of the date of its opinion and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its written opinion dated May 12, 2008, the $6.60 in cash per share of our common stock to be received by the holders of our common stock (other than Intercell and its affiliates and the holders of our common stock party to the share exchange agreement) pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. Our board of directors also engaged in a review of the key provisions of the merger agreement and business considerations related to the potential transaction. On the basis of our activities to date and our prior efforts to explore third party interest in potential transactions, and after extensive discussion, our board of directors determined that the price then being proposed by Intercell for each share of our common stock outstanding was the best per share price then obtainable.
 
After further discussion among the participants on the call of various matters related to the potential transactions with Intercell, our board of directors approved the merger, the proposed merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (including the related share exchange agreement). The merger agreement, among Intercell, Merger Sub and us, and other transaction-related documents were signed and such execution was announced on May 12, 2008 in a joint press release.
 
Recommendation of Our Board of Directors
 
Our board of directors, by unanimous vote and after careful consideration, (i) has approved and adopted the merger agreement, including the merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) has determined that the terms of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Iomai and its stockholders, (iii) recommends that Iomai stockholders vote “FOR” approval and adoption of the merger agreement and (iv) recommends that Iomai stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes in favor of approval and adoption of the merger agreement at the time of the special meeting.
 
Reasons for the Recommendation of our Board of Directors
 
In evaluating the merger, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (including the related share exchange agreement), our board of directors consulted with our management, legal counsel and Cowen and, in reaching its recommendation, our board of directors considered a number of factors, including the following:
 
  •      Our Operating and Financial Condition; Prospects of our Company.  Our board of directors considered its knowledge and familiarity with our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as our financial plan and prospects if we were to remain an independent company and our short-term and long-term capital needs. Our board of directors discussed our current financial plan, including the risks associated with achieving and executing upon our business plan. Our board of directors considered, among other factors, that the holders of our common stock would continue to be subject to the risks and uncertainties of our financial plan and prospects unless our company were acquired. These risks and uncertainties included risks relating to our ability to successfully develop and market our current product candidates, potential difficulties or delays in clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates, regulatory developments involving current and future products and our ability to raise sufficient funds to finance our operations and the potentially dilutive terms of any such financing, as well as the other risks and uncertainties discussed in our filings with the SEC.
 
  •      Strategic Alternatives.  Our board of directors considered trends in the industry in which our business operates and the strategic alternatives available to us, including remaining an independent public company or pursuing a transaction with another company in the industry, as well as the risks and uncertainties associated with such alternatives. Our board of directors also considered the fact that entering into any negotiations with a third party, including Company A, would not necessarily lead to an equivalent or better offer, and would be subject to significant due diligence and negotiation that could lead to the loss of the potential offer from Intercell.
 
  •      Transaction Financial Terms; Premium to Market Price.  Our board of directors considered the relationship of the merger consideration to the historical market prices of our common stock. In light of our activities to date and our communications about a potential strategic transaction with other companies determined to be most likely to be interested in engaging in a possible strategic transaction with us, our board of directors determined that the merger consideration to be paid in the merger and the shares of Intercell common stock to be exchanged for certain stockholders’ shares of our common stock pursuant to the share exchange agreement, represented the best per share


18


Table of Contents

  consideration currently obtainable for our stockholders. In making that determination, our board of directors considered that the merger consideration, represents a premium of approximately:
 
(i)    147% to the closing price on May 9, 2008, and
 
(ii)   358% to the average closing price over the last 90 trading days.
 
Our board of directors also considered an analysis that the mean and median twenty trading day purchase price premiums that had been paid in 22 selected biotechnology transactions selected by Cowen were 53.4% and 41.2%, respectively. These transactions represented biotechnology industry cash acquisition transactions since 2003 valued between $100 million and $500 million.
 
  •      Ability to Respond to Unsolicited Takeover Proposals and Terminate the Merger Agreement to Accept a Superior Proposal . Our board of directors considered the provisions in the merger agreement that provide for the ability of our company, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, to provide information to and engage in negotiations with third parties that make an unsolicited proposal, and, subject to payment of a termination fee and the other conditions set forth in the merger agreement, to enter into a transaction with a party that makes a superior proposal.
 
  •      Termination Fee Provisions.  Our board of directors considered the termination fee provisions of the merger agreement and determined that they likely would not be a significant deterrent to competing offers that might be superior to the merger consideration and the shares of Intercell common stock to be exchanged for certain stockholders’ shares of our common stock pursuant to the share exchange agreement. Our board of directors considered that the termination fee of $6,000,000 was equal to approximately 3.2% of our equity value, which our board of directors believed to be a reasonable fee to be paid to Intercell should a superior offer be accepted by us. Equity value was calculated based on our fully diluted shares outstanding, accounted for using the treasury stock method, using the $6.60 per share cash consideration to be received in the merger by holders of our common stock. Our board of directors also considered the ability under the merger agreement to pay Intercell the termination fee in shares of our common stock in certain circumstances.
 
  •      Conditions to the Consummation of the Merger; Likelihood of Closing.  Our board of directors considered the reasonable likelihood of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement in light of the limited conditions in the merger agreement to the obligations of Intercell and Merger Sub to close the merger, including that the consummation of the merger was not contingent on Intercell’s ability to secure financing commitments.
 
  •      Type of Consideration; Share Exchange Agreement.  Our board of directors considered the forms of consideration to be paid to different holders of shares of our common stock, and the structure of the transaction.
 
  •      Timing of Completion.  Our board of directors considered the anticipated timing of consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Our board of directors considered that the potential for closing in a relatively short timeframe could reduce the amount of time in which our business would be subject to the potential uncertainty of closing and related disruption.
 
  •      Results of Process Conducted.  Our board of directors considered the results of the process that had been conducted by our company, with the assistance of our management and advisors, to solicit proposals for partnering transactions, including the resulting discussions Company A, Company B and Company C, and the solicitation of interest from several other companies thought to potentially have an interest in a transaction with us, and the fact that none of these entities proposed a superior transaction. Our board of directors also considered the ability of other bidders to make a proposal to acquire shares of our common stock at a higher price per share than the merger consideration or in an all-cash transaction. Based on the results of our prior efforts and our extended arm’s-length negotiations with Intercell, our board of directors believed that the merger consideration and the exchange of certain stockholders’ shares of our common stock for shares of Intercell common stock represented the highest price per share of the shares that was reasonably attainable.
 
  •      Opinion of Cowen and Company, LLC.  Our board of directors considered the opinion of Cowen, dated May 12, 2008, and rendered to our board of directors, as to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to various assumptions, matters considered and limitations described in its opinion, the $6.60 per share cash consideration to be received in the merger by holders of our common stock (other than Intercell, Merger Sub, stockholders who have


19


Table of Contents

  entered into the share exchange agreement with Intercell, and their respective affiliates) was fair, from a financial point of view, to such stockholders.
 
  •      Appraisal Rights.  Our board of directors considered the availability of appraisal rights with respect to the merger for our stockholders who properly exercise their rights under Delaware law, which would give such stockholders the ability to seek and be paid a judicially determined appraisal of the “fair value” of their shares of our common stock, upon the completion of the merger.
 
  •      Interim Financing.  Our board of directors considered Intercell’s agreement to provide us with up to $5,000,000 of interim financing in order to support our operations, should the timing of the completion of the merger present issues in relation to our financial condition.
 
Our board of directors also considered a number of uncertainties and risks in their deliberations concerning the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the following:
 
  •      Restrictions; Termination Fee.  Our board of directors considered the restrictions that the merger agreement impose on actively soliciting competing bids, and the insistence of Intercell as a condition to its offer that we would be obligated to pay a termination fee of $6,000,000 under certain circumstances, and the potential effect of such termination fee in deterring other potential acquirers from proposing alternative transactions.
 
  •      Failure to Close.  Our board of directors considered that Intercell’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the merger was subject to conditions, and the possibility that such conditions may not be satisfied, including as a result of events outside of our control. Our board of directors also considered the fact that, if the merger was not completed, the market’s perception of our continuing business could potentially result in a loss of collaboration partners and employees and that the trading price of our common stock could be adversely affected. Our board of directors considered that, in that event, it would be unlikely that another party would be interested in acquiring us at a valuation near $6.60 per share. Our board of directors also considered the fact that, if the merger was not consummated, our directors, officers and other employees will have expended extensive time and effort and will have experienced significant distractions from their work during the pendency of the transaction, and we will have incurred significant transaction costs, attempting to consummate the transaction.
 
  •      Public Announcement of the Merger.  Our board of directors considered the effect of a public announcement of the execution of the merger agreement and the merger contemplated thereby, including effects on our operations, stock price and employees and our ability to retain key management and personnel.
 
  •      Pre-Closing Covenants.  Our board of directors considered that, under the terms of the merger agreement, we agreed that we will carry on our business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and, subject to specified exceptions, that we will not take a number of actions related to the conduct of our business without the prior written consent of Intercell. Our board of directors further considered that these terms of the merger agreement may limit our ability to pursue business opportunities that we might otherwise pursue.
 
  •      Share Exchange and Voting Agreements.  Our board of directors noted that our executive officers and certain stockholders of our company (including New Enterprise Associates (and its related entities), which is an affiliate of M. James Barrett, our chairman of the board), who together controlled approximately 41% of the voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock as of May 9, 2008, agreed to vote their shares in support of the adoption of the merger agreement pursuant to a voting agreement. Our board of directors noted that certain stockholders of our company, who together controlled approximately 51% of the voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock as of May 9, 2008, agreed to exchange their shares for shares of Intercell common stock pursuant to a share exchange agreement. Our board of directors also noted that the share exchange and voting agreements terminate if the merger agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
 
  •      Cash vs. Stock Consideration.  Our board of directors considered the fact that, subsequent to completion of the merger, we will no longer exist as an independent public company and that the nature of the transaction would prevent our stockholders who receive the merger consideration in cash from being able to participate in any value creation that we could generate going forward, as well as any future appreciation in value of the combined company, unless they separately acquire Intercell common stock. Our board of directors noted the possibility that the market price of Intercell common stock might rise following closing of the merger and that stockholders receiving cash would not benefit from that appreciation, but the board also noted that stockholders receiving cash could elect to use that cash to purchase shares of Intercell common stock. Our board also considered the risk that the value of Intercell common stock

  would depreciate and that stockholder who received shares of Intercell common stock in the share exchange may ultimately sell those shares for net proceeds below $6.60. The directors also considered that the stockholders that are party to the share exchange agreement might prefer an all cash transaction.
 
  •      Tax Treatment.  Our board of directors considered the fact that gains from this transaction would be taxable to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including stockholders exchanging shares of our common stock for shares of Intercell common stock who would not receive cash to cover applicable taxes. The board of directors noted that those stockholders would have relatively liquid shares of Intercell common stock.
 
  •      Potential Conflicts of Interest.  Our board of directors was aware of the potential conflicts of interest between our company, on the one hand, and certain of our executive officers and directors, on the other hand, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. These potential conflicts of interest included the potential severance payments to our executive officers, the cash payments to be received for options held by our directors and executive officers and, in the case of Mr. Barrett, the cash payments to be received for the outstanding warrants held by New Enterprise Associates. See ‘‘Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 29.
 
Our board of directors believed that, overall, the potential benefits of the merger to our stockholders outweigh the risks of the merger and provide the maximum value to our stockholders. In analyzing the proposed merger, our board of directors and our management were assisted and advised by legal counsel.
 
The foregoing discussion covers all material factors considered by our board of directors. In light of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, our board of directors did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determinations and recommendations. Moreover, each member of our board of directors applied his own personal business judgment to the process and may have given different weight to different factors.
 
Opinion of Cowen and Company, LLC
 
Pursuant to an engagement letter dated May 8, 2008, we retained Cowen to render an opinion to the board of directors of Iomai as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Iomai common stock, other than Intercell and its affiliates and the stockholders party to the share exchange agreement, of the consideration to be received in the merger.
 
On May 12, 2008, Cowen delivered certain of its written analyses and its oral opinion to our board of directors, subsequently confirmed in writing as of the same date, to the effect that and subject to the various assumptions set forth therein, as of May 12, 2008, the consideration to be paid in the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to our stockholders, other than Intercell and its affiliates and the stockholders party to the share exchange agreement. There have been no material changes in our operations, performance or in any of the projections or assumptions upon which Cowen based its opinion since the delivery of the opinion, and we do not anticipate any such material changes. The full text of the written opinion of Cowen, dated May 12, 2008, is attached hereto as Annex D and is incorporated by reference. Holders of our common stock are urged to read the opinion in its entirety for the assumptions made, procedures followed, other matters considered and limits of the review by Cowen. The summary of the written opinion of Cowen set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion. Cowen’s analyses and opinion were prepared for and addressed to our board of directors and are directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid in the merger, and do not constitute an opinion as to the merits of the merger or a recommendation to any stockholder as to how to vote on the proposed merger or to take any other action in connection with the merger or otherwise. The consideration to be received in the merger was determined through negotiations between us and Intercell and not pursuant to recommendations of Cowen. Cowen has consented to the inclusion of its written opinion in this proxy statement.
 
In arriving at its opinion, Cowen reviewed and considered such financial and other matters as it deemed relevant, including, among other things:
 
  •      a draft of the merger agreement dated May 12, 2008;
 
  •      certain publicly available financial and other information for our company, and certain other relevant financial and operating data furnished to Cowen by our management;
 
  •      certain internal financial analyses, financial forecasts, reports and other information concerning our company (the “Iomai Forecasts”) prepared by our management;


21


Table of Contents

 
  •      Reuters estimates (“Reuters Estimates”) and financial projections in Wall Street analyst reports (“Wall Street Projections”) for our company;
 
  •      discussions Cowen had with certain members of our management concerning the historical and current business operations, financial conditions and prospects of our company and such other matters Cowen deemed relevant;
 
  •      the reported price and trading history of the shares of our common stock as compared to the reported price and trading histories of certain publicly traded companies Cowen deemed relevant;
 
  •      certain financial terms of the merger as compared to the financial terms of certain selected business combinations Cowen deemed relevant;
 
  •      based on the Iomai Forecasts and Wall Street Projections, the cash flows generated by our company on a stand-alone basis to determine the present value of the discounted cash flows; and
 
  •      such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and such other factors that Cowen deemed relevant for the purposes of its opinion.
 
In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, Cowen, with our consent, assumed and relied, without independent investigation, upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information provided to it by us or which was publicly available or otherwise reviewed by Cowen. Cowen did not undertake any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of, or independently verify, this information. Cowen relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of our management as to existing products and services of our company and the validity of, and risks associated with, the future products and services of our company. In addition, Cowen did not conduct any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of our company. Cowen further relied upon the assurance of our management that they were unaware of any facts that would make the information provided to Cowen incomplete or misleading in any respect. Cowen, with our consent, assumed that the financial forecasts provided to Cowen were reasonably prepared by our management, and reflected the best available estimates and good faith judgments of our management as to the future performance of our company. Our management confirmed to Cowen, and Cowen assumed, with our consent, that the Iomai Forecasts and the Wall Street Projections utilized in Cowen’s analyses, provided a reasonable basis for its opinion.
 
Cowen did not make or obtain any independent evaluations, valuations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of our company, nor was Cowen furnished with these materials. Cowen’s opinion does not address, and Cowen expresses no views with regard to, any legal matters. Cowen’s services to our company in connection with the merger were comprised solely of rendering an opinion from a financial point of view of the consideration to be paid in the merger. Cowen expresses no view as to any other aspect or implication of the merger or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the merger or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Cowen does not express any view with respect to the share exchange agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Cowen’s opinion was necessarily based upon economic and market conditions and other circumstances as they existed and could be evaluated by Cowen on the date of its opinion. It should be understood that although subsequent developments may affect its opinion, Cowen does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion and Cowen expressly disclaims any responsibility to do so. Additionally, Cowen was not engaged to be involved in any determinations of our board of directors or our management to pursue strategic alternatives or in the negotiation of any of the terms of the merger. Cowen was not authorized or requested to, and did not, solicit alternative offers for our company or our assets, nor did Cowen investigate any other alternative transactions that may be available to us.
 
In rendering its opinion, Cowen assumed, in all respects material to its analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the merger agreement are true and correct, that each party will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under the merger agreement and that all conditions to the consummation of the merger will be satisfied without waiver thereof. Cowen assumed that the final form of the merger agreement would be substantially similar to the last draft received by Cowen prior to rendering its opinion. Cowen also assumed that all governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals contemplated by the merger agreement would be obtained and that, in the course of obtaining any of those consents, no restrictions will be imposed or waivers made that would have an adverse effect on the contemplated benefits of the merger.
 
Cowen’s opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any Iomai stockholder as to how the stockholder should vote on the proposed merger. Cowen’s opinion does not imply any conclusion as to the likely trading range for Intercell common stock following consummation of the merger or otherwise, which may vary depending on numerous factors that generally influence the price of securities. Cowen’s opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid in the merger. Cowen expresses no opinion as to the underlying business reasons that may support the decision of the our board of


22


Table of Contents

directors to approve, or our decision to consummate, the merger or the relative merits of the merger as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available to our company. Cowen’s opinion does not address the fairness of the amount or the nature of any compensation to any of our officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be offered to our stockholders.
 
The following is a summary of the principal financial analyses performed by Cowen to arrive at its opinion. Some of the summaries of financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Considering the data set forth in the tables without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions set forth herein underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses. Cowen performed certain procedures, including each of the financial analyses described below, and reviewed with our management the assumptions on which such analyses were based and other factors, including the historical and projected financial results of our company. No limitations were imposed by our board of directors with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by Cowen in rendering its opinion.
 
Analysis of Selected Publicly Traded Companies.  To provide contextual data and comparative market information, Cowen compared selected historical operating and financial data and ratios for our company to the corresponding financial data and ratios of certain other companies (the “Selected Companies”) whose securities are publicly traded and which Cowen believes have operating, market valuation and trading valuations similar to what might be expected of our company. These Selected Companies were:
 
  •      Development stage infectious disease vaccine companies: Optimer Pharmaceuticals Inc., Novavax Inc., Vical Inc.
 
  •      Development stage infectious disease companies: Pharmasset Inc., Ardea Biosciences Inc., Achillion Pharmaceuticals Inc., Anadys Pharmaceuticals Inc., Replidyne Inc., Genelabs Technologies Inc., Panacos Pharmaceuticals Inc., Inhibitex Inc.
 
The following tables present the market capitalization of common stock (referred to as the “equity value”) and the equity value plus debt and less cash (referred to as the “enterprise value”) of the Selected Companies.

The following table presents the range of the per share equity values and the range of the per share equity values based on enterprise values for our company implied by this analysis. The implied per share equity value range was calculated by dividing the mean and median equity values of the Selected Companies by the fully diluted shares outstanding of our company (determined pursuant to the treasury stock method). The implied per share equity value range based on enterprise value was calculated by subtracting the company’s net debt from the mean and median enterprise values of the Selected Companies and dividing that result by the fully diluted shares outstanding of our company (determined pursuant to the treasury stock method). The information in the table is based on the closing stock prices of the Selected Companies on May 9, 2008.

Although the Selected Companies were used for comparison purposes, none of those companies is directly comparable to our company. Accordingly, an analysis of the results of such a comparison is not purely mathematical, but instead involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in historical and projected financial and operating characteristics of the Selected Companies and other factors that could affect the public trading value of the Selected Companies or our company to which they are being compared.
 
Analysis of Selected Transactions.  Cowen reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of 33 transactions (the “Phase II Transactions”) involving the acquisition of companies with lead product candidates in Phase II development, which were announced or completed since 1999, and in which the deal value exceeded $20.0 million.

Although the Phase II Transactions and Infectious Disease Transactions were used for comparison purposes, none of those transactions is directly comparable to the merger, and none of the companies in those transactions is directly comparable to our company.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.  Cowen estimated a range of values for our common stock based upon the discounted present value of the projected cash flows of our company described in the Iomai Forecasts provided by our management and the Wall Street Projections, for the fiscal years ended 2008 through 2012, and of the terminal value of our company at 2012, based upon multiples of revenue. Cash flow was calculated by taking projected EBIT and subtracting from this amount capital expenditures, changes in working capital and changes in other assets and liabilities and adding depreciation and amortization. In performing this analysis, Cowen utilized discount rates ranging from 25.0% to 35.0%, which were selected based on the estimated industry weighted average cost of capital and clinical and regulatory risk inherent in our pipeline. Cowen utilized terminal multiples of revenue ranging from 2.5 times to 3.0 times, these multiples representing the general range of multiples of revenue for selected precedent specialty pharmaceutical transactions.

Utilizing this methodology, the per share equity value of Iomai ranged from:
 
  •      $5.00 to $7.85 per share, based on the Iomai Forecasts; and
 
  •      $0.54 to $1.74 per share, based on the Wall Street Projections.

Cowen then applied these premiums to the our common stock prices one trading day and twenty trading days prior to May 9, 2008.
 
Using this methodology, the implied equity value per share of our common stock ranged from:
 
  •      $3.32 (median) to $3.65 (mean) per share, based on the one day median and mean premiums of 29.1% and 42.0%, respectively, and stock price; and
 
  •      $3.39 (median) to $3.68 (mean) per share, based on the 20 trading day median and mean premiums of 41.2% and 53.4%, respectively, and stock price.
 
The summary set forth above does not purport to be a complete description of all the analyses performed by Cowen. The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analyses and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Cowen did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, notwithstanding the separate factors summarized above, Cowen believes, and has advised our board of directors, that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and the factors considered by it, without considering all analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion. In performing its analyses, Cowen made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond our control. These analyses performed by Cowen are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which businesses or securities may actually be sold. Accordingly, such analyses and estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors. None of Iomai, Cowen or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those projected. The analyses supplied by Cowen and its opinion were among several factors taken into consideration by our board of directors in making its decision to enter into the merger agreement and should not be considered as determinative of such decision.
 
Cowen was selected by our board of directors to render an opinion to our board of directors because Cowen is a nationally recognized investment banking firm and because, as part of its investment banking business, Cowen is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes. Cowen and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business have from time to time provided, and in the future may continue to provide, commercial and investment banking services to us, including serving as a financial advisor on potential acquisitions and as an underwriter on equity offerings, and have received and may in the future receive fees for the rendering of such services. In particular, in February 2006, Cowen acted as co-lead manager of our initial public offering and, in March 2007, Cowen acted as exclusive placement agent of our private placement. In the past two years preceding the date of its opinion, Cowen received $1,448,901 for its services related to our March 2007 private placement. The issuance of Cowen’s opinion was approved by Cowen’s fairness opinion review committee.
 
Pursuant to the Cowen engagement letter, we agreed to pay $500,000 to Cowen for rendering its opinion, payable upon the delivery of Cowen’s opinion. Additionally, we have agreed to reimburse Cowen for its out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and have agreed to indemnify Cowen against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. The terms of the fee arrangement with Cowen, which are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arm’s length between us and Cowen, and our board of directors was aware of the arrangement.
 
Merger Financing; Source and Amounts of Funds
 
Merger Sub’s obligation to complete the merger is not conditioned upon its ability to obtain funds sufficient to do so. Intercell has represented to us that it has sufficient funds to pay the aggregate merger consideration and other amounts payable pursuant to the merger agreement to consummate the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The total amount of funds required by Merger Sub to pay all the merger consideration and related fees and expenses in connection with the merger is estimated to be approximately $118,000,000. Intercell has advised us that it will provide the required funds from cash on hand.

Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger
 
In considering the recommendation of our board of directors with respect to the merger, our stockholders should be aware that some of our directors and executive officers have personal interests in the merger that are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, your interests. Our board of directors was aware of the interests described below and considered them, among other matters, when approving the merger.
 
CEO Employment Agreement.
 
We have entered into an employment agreement with Stanley C. Erck, our President and Chief Executive Officer. We have not entered into any employment agreements with any of our other principal executive officers. We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Erck as of May 18, 2000, that, as amended, provides for his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer and a position on the board of directors for the term of the agreement. The agreement continues indefinitely until either party terminates Mr. Erck’s employment. Mr. Erck’s salary and bonus have been adjusted annually by our board of directors, and Mr. Erck earned a salary of $364,100 and a bonus of $126,980 for 2007 and a salary of $375,100 for 2008, with a bonus to be determined. Mr. Erck’s employment agreement, as amended, provides for certain payments and the acceleration of vesting of stock options if his employment is terminated at any time following a change in control — see under “Severance Payments to Executive Officers” for more details. Mr. Erck’s employment agreement also includes covenants relating to the protection of our confidential information, the assignment of inventions, restrictions on soliciting our employees and restrictions on competing with our business.
 
Executive Change in Control Agreements.
 
We have also entered into change in control agreements with Gregory M. Glenn and Russell P. Wilson, dated as of December 1, 2005, that, as amended, provide that if, within one year following a change in control (as defined in their respective agreements), such officer is terminated without cause (as defined in their respective agreements) or if such officer terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in their respective agreements), each of them is entitled to a cash payment equal to his then current annual base salary (or, if his base salary has been reduced in the sixty days prior to his termination or at any time following a change in control, his base salary in effect prior to such reduction), plus the higher of his target incentive bonus for that year or his actual incentive bonus for the prior year, as well as coverage under our medical plans (including coverage for dependents, as applicable) for twelve months following the date of termination, at our expense. In addition, upon a termination as described above at any time after a change in control, any unvested employee stock options granted to such officer prior to or in connection with the change in control immediately vest and become exercisable. The definition of “change in control” for the purposes of these agreements includes, among other things, the acquisition by an individual, entity or group of 40% or more of either our then outstanding common stock or the combined voting power of our outstanding securities.
 
Common Stock and Stock Options.
 
Each of Messrs. Erck, Glenn and Wilson is eligible annually to receive an incentive bonus that our board of directors may grant, at its sole discretion, to the executive, based on our board of director’s assessment of the executive’s individual performance. Each of our non-employee directors is entitled to receive an option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock following each annual stockholders meeting.
 
For Messrs Erck, Glenn and Wilson, under the merger agreement, each of their outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock issued under our 1998 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Incentive Plan will be fully vested and exercisable no less than 30 days prior to the effective time of the merger, and upon the consummation of the merger, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, will be cancelled and terminated and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will, or will cause Iomai as the surviving corporation to, promptly, and in no event later than three business days after the effective time of the merger, pay to such holders of options, an amount in respect thereof equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of $6.60 over the exercise price of each such option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the option. No payments will be made with respect to such stock options that have per share exercise prices above $6.60.
 
For Messrs. Erck, Glenn and Wilson, under the merger agreement, each of their outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that are scheduled to vest prior to the effective time of the merger, will be exercisable prior to the effective time of the merger, and upon the consummation of the merger, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, will be cancelled and terminated and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination,


29


Table of Contents

Intercell will replace such option with a fully vested and exercisable option to purchase shares of Intercell common stock. Each of their outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that are unvested by its terms as of the effective time of the merger, upon the consummation of the merger, will be cancelled and terminated, and in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will replace such option with an option to purchase shares of Intercell common stock, subject to the same vesting schedule the cancelled and terminated option had under Iomai’s 2005 Incentive Plan. The exercise price and number of shares subject to all such options to purchase Intercell common stock will be determined consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). The method of determining the exercise price and number of shares under the Intercell option is described in more detail in “Treatment of Our Stock Options and Warrants” on page 37.
 
Under the terms of our 2005 Incentive Plan, for options held by our non-employee directors, each outstanding option to purchase our common stock, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and will thereafter represent the right to receive, in consideration for such cancellation, a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the $6.60 per share merger consideration over the per share option exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock subject to the option. No payments will be made with respect to such stock options that have per share exercise prices above $6.60.

Potential Severance Payments to Executive Officers.
 
Under Mr. Erck’s employment agreement, as amended, if Mr. Erck’s employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the agreement) or if he terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the agreement), he is entitled to a cash payment equal to twice (A) his then current annual base compensation (or, if his base compensation has been reduced in the sixty days prior to his termination or at any time following a change in control, his base compensation in effect prior to such reduction), plus (B) the higher of his target incentive bonus for the year of termination or his actual incentive bonus for the prior year. Mr. Erck also is entitled to coverage for himself and his dependents under our medical plans for twelve months following the date of termination at our expense.
 
Under Mr. Erck’s employment agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
 
(1) a material reduction in authority or areas of responsibility;


31


Table of Contents

(2) his base compensation is reduced by an amount greater than five percent of his base compensation prior to such reduction; or
 
(3) he ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors for any reason other than for Cause.
 
Under Mr. Erck’s employment agreement, “Cause” means:
 
(1) a willful failure by Mr. Erck to substantially perform his duties and responsibilities in accordance with his employment agreement, other than a failure resulting from his complete or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness or impairment;
 
(2) a willful act by Mr. Erck which constitutes personal dishonesty, incompetence, gross misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit or fraud which in each instance is materially injurious to Iomai;
 
(3) a willful violation of any law, rule or regulation or any final cease-and-desist order relating to the operation of the business of Iomai;
 
(4) a conviction of, or a plea of “guilty” or “no contest” to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; or
 
(5) a breach by Mr. Erck of his representations and covenants set forth in his employment agreement.
 
Under Messrs. Glenn and Wilson’s change in control agreements, as amended, within the first year following a change in control (as defined in their respective agreements), if such officer is terminated without cause (as defined in their respective agreements) or if such officer terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in their respective agreements), each of them is entitled to a cash payment equal to his then current annual base salary (or, if his base salary has been reduced in the sixty days prior to his termination or at any time following a change in control, his base salary in effect prior to such reduction), plus the higher of his target incentive bonus for the year of termination or his actual incentive bonus for the prior year, as well as coverage under our medical plans for himself and his dependents for twelve months following the date of termination, at our expense.
 
In the event of such a severance-qualifying termination, the following table shows the approximate amount of potential cash severance payable to each executive officer following termination of employment in 2008, based on compensation and benefit levels in effect on July 2, 2008, assuming the executive officer’s employment terminates under circumstances that entitle the executive officer to severance.

(1) Subject to applicable state and federal tax withholding and other deductions and assessments as required by law.
 
(2) These amounts include the value of continued benefits and vacation accrued (as of June 30, 2008), due under the agreements. We assumed in each case that termination is not for cause, the executive does not violate his non-competition or non-solicitation agreements with us following termination, the executive does not receive medical and life insurance coverage from another employer within one year of termination and the executive does not incur legal fees requiring reimbursement from us. We used the same assumptions for health care benefits that we used for our financial reporting under generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Under Mr. Erck’s employment agreement, as amended, after a change in control (as defined in the agreement), upon the termination of Mr. Erck’s employment with the company for any reason or upon his separation from the company for any reason, all of his unvested options immediately vest and become exercisable. Pursuant to the merger agreement, these acceleration of vesting provisions would apply to any options to purchase Intercell common stock that Mr. Erck received upon the consummation of the merger and any future options to purchase Intercell common stock he may receive.
 
Under Messrs. Glenn and Wilson’s change in control agreements, as amended, after a change in control (as defined in their respective agreements), if either of Dr. Glenn’s or Mr. Wilson’s employment with the company is terminated without cause (as defined in their respective agreements) or if either of Dr. Glenn or Mr. Wilson terminates his employment with the company for good reason (as defined in their respective agreements), any unvested employee stock options granted to either of them prior to or

in connection with the change in control immediately vest and become exercisable. Pursuant to the merger agreement, these acceleration of vesting provisions would apply to any options to purchase Intercell common stock that Dr. Glenn or Mr. Wilson received upon the consummation of the merger.
 
The following table shows the approximate number of options issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan for each executive officer that are expected to be substituted by options to purchase Intercell common stock, based on equity awards held as of the date of this proxy statement, as a result of the substitution of unvested Iomai stock options issued under the 2005 Incentive Plan, upon the effective time of the merger, assuming the effective time of the merger is September 15, 2008 and that each officer exercises all stock options to purchase our common stock that are vested immediately prior to such effective time. Such number of options to be substituted for options to purchase shares of Intercell common stock set forth next to each officer’s name forms the basis for the minimum number of options that would immediately vest and become exercisable assuming each officer’s employment with the company is terminated immediately after the effective time of the merger in a manner that would trigger acceleration of vesting under each officer’s agreement:

Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance.
 
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporate Law permits a Delaware corporation to include in its charter documents, and in agreements between a corporation and its directors and officers, provisions expanding the scope of indemnification beyond that specifically provided by current law. We have included in our by-laws provisions to limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except (a) for any breach of such director’s duty of loyalty, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporate Law and (d) for any transaction resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit. In addition, our by-laws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including if he or she is serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company at our request, against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities or other matters covered by rights to which the directors and officers are entitled under the by-laws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors of otherwise, to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether by or in the right of Iomai or otherwise, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of Iomai, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan. Expenses for the defense of any action for which indemnification may be available may be advanced by us under certain circumstances. We maintain liability insurance which insures our directors and officers against certain losses and insures us with respect to our obligations to indemnify our directors and officers.
 
Pursuant to the merger agreement, Intercell has agreed that any rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation existing in favor of our directors or officers as provided in our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws or pursuant to any other agreements, in each case, in effect as of the date of the merger agreement, shall survive the merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For six years after the effective time of the merger, to the full extent permitted under applicable law, Intercell and Iomai, as the surviving corporation, have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless our directors and officers against losses, claims, damages or other liabilities with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the effective time of the merger. For at least six years after the effective time of the merger, Intercell will cause Iomai as the surviving corporation to maintain the same limits, terms and conditions of our current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective time of the merger, covering each person currently covered by our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy; provided that Iomai as the surviving corporation may substitute policies containing terms with respect to coverage and amounts no less favorable to the directors and officers, and provided that Intercell and Iomai as the surviving corporation are not obligated to pay more than 250% of the last annual aggregate premium paid prior to the date of the merger agreement by Iomai in the aggregate to obtain such coverage. Additionally, the merger agreement


33


Table of Contents

provides that Intercell will have an option to cause coverage to be extended under our current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy on terms and conditions no less advantageous than our current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, provided such “tail” policy can be obtained for no more than 250% of the last annual aggregate premium paid prior to the date of the merger agreement by Iomai in the aggregate to obtain such coverage.
 
Restrictive Covenants.
 
Mr. Erck is subject to non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that apply for a period following termination of employment with us equal to two years. Each of Dr. Glenn and Mr. Wilson is subject to non-solicitation provisions that apply for a period following termination of employment with us equal to one year.
 
Interests of New Enterprise Associates
 
Pursuant to the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the merger, each outstanding warrant to purchase Iomai common stock held by New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership, which is an affiliate of our chairman of our board, M. James Barrett, to the extent not exercised prior to the consummation of the merger, will be cashed out, without interest, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of $6.60 over the $5.25 exercise price of each such warrant multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Iomai common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant. As of the record date, New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership held warrants to purchase 550,535 shares of Iomai common stock.
 
Additionally, pursuant to the share exchange agreement, New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership and NEA Ventures 2002, Limited Partnership, which are both affiliates of M. James Barrett, have agreed to exchange all their shares of our common stock into shares of Intercell common stock prior to the effective time of the merger. Under the terms of the share exchange agreement, each share of Iomai common stock held by New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership and NEA Ventures 2002, Limited Partnership will be exchanged for the number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) of Intercell common stock equal to $6.60 divided by the closing sale price for Intercell common stock on the Vienna Stock Exchange on the closing date of the share exchange (with such closing sale price being converted from Euros to U.S. Dollars). As of May 12, 2008, New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership and NEA Ventures 2002, Limited Partnership beneficially owned an aggregate of 6,972,332 shares of our common stock (including warrants to purchase 550,535 shares of our common stock exercisable within 60 days of May 12, 2008).
 
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
The following is a general summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a stockholder whose shares are converted to cash in the merger. The summary is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the regulations issued thereunder, judicial decisions and administrative rulings, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.
 
This summary is for general information only and does not purport to consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to stockholders. The tax consequences to any particular stockholder may differ depending on that stockholder’s own circumstances and tax position. For example, the following general summary may not be applicable with respect to shares received pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, or with respect to holders of shares of common stock who or which are subject to special tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, such as life insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, S corporations, trusts, stockholders liable for the alternative minimum tax, dealers in securities or currencies, traders who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting, U.S. expatriates and persons who are holding shares of our common stock as part of a straddle, conversion, constructive sale, hedge or other integrated transaction. This summary also is not applicable to shares held by partnerships (or other entities or arrangements that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes). If a partnership holds shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner in a partnership holding shares, you should consult your tax advisor. In addition, this summary assumes that shares are held as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
This summary does not address estate or gift tax or the consequences of the transactions described herein under the tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. We have not and will not seek any opinion of counsel or any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the matters discussed herein. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or foreign income and other tax laws) of the merger.

Table of Contents

U.S. Stockholders.  The following is applicable to stockholders that are “U.S. Stockholders.” For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Stockholder is a beneficial owner of shares who or which is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is created or organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income, and a trust whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have authority to control all of its substantial decisions or that has elected to be treated as a United States person.
 
The receipt of cash by a U.S. Stockholder pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, a U.S. Stockholder who receives cash in exchange for shares in the merger will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received by the stockholder pursuant to the merger and the adjusted tax basis in the shares converted into cash in the merger. Gain or loss will be calculated separately for each block of shares ( i.e. , shares acquired at the same cost in a single transaction) converted into cash in the merger. Any gain or loss recognized by such a stockholder will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such stockholder’s holding period for the shares exceeds one year. In the case of non-corporate stockholders, long-term capital gains are currently eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The ability to use capital losses to offset ordinary income is limited.
 
Non-U.S. Stockholders.  The following is applicable to stockholders that are “Non-U.S. Stockholders.” A Non-U.S. stockholder is a beneficial owner of shares who or which is not a U.S. Stockholder.
 
Any gain realized on the receipt of cash pursuant to the merger by a Non-U.S. Stockholder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:
 
  •      the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Stockholder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. Stockholder); or
 
  •      in the case of a nonresident alien, the individual is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and other conditions are met.
 
A Non-U.S. Stockholder described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net gain derived from the merger in the same manner as a U.S. Stockholder at regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. If a Non-U.S. Stockholder that is a foreign corporation is described in the first bullet point above, it may in addition be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected income (or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty). An individual Non-U.S. Stockholder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax (or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its gain derived from the merger, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States.
 
Backup Withholding.  A stockholder (other than exempt stockholders including, among others, all corporations) that converts its shares into cash may be subject to a 28% backup withholding tax on such cash, unless the stockholder provides its TIN and certifies that such number is correct, provides other certifications, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A stockholder that does not furnish a required TIN or that does not otherwise establish a basis for an exemption from backup withholding may, in addition to backup withholding, be subject to a penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Each U.S. Stockholder should complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9 included as part of the transmittal form sent to each stockholder in conjunction with the effectuation of the merger so as to provide the information and certification necessary to avoid backup withholding. Each Non-U.S. Stockholder should complete and sign the appropriate Form W-8 also included as part of the letter of transmittal in conjunction with the effectuation of the merger.
 
If backup withholding applies to a stockholder, the paying agent is required to withhold 28% from payments to such stockholder, and the IRS may impose a penalty on such stockholder. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of the backup withholding can be credited against the U.S. federal income tax liability of the person subject to the backup withholding, provided that the required information is given to the IRS. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can be obtained by the stockholder by filing a U.S. federal income tax return.
 
Appraisal Rights
 
Appraisal rights under Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) are available to our stockholders with respect to the merger. DGCL Section 262 requires that stockholders be notified not less than 20 days before the special meeting to vote on the


35


Table of Contents

approval and adoption of the merger agreement that appraisal rights will be available. A copy of DGCL Section 262 must be included with such notice. This proxy statement constitutes our notice to our stockholders of the availability of appraisal rights in connection with the merger in compliance with the requirements of DGCL Section 262. If you wish to consider exercising your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the text of Section 262 contained in Annex E, since failure to timely and properly comply with the requirements of DGCL Section 262 will result in the loss of your appraisal rights under Delaware law. Merely voting against approval and adoption of the merger agreement will not satisfy the notice requirements under Delaware law with respect to appraisal rights.
 
If you elect to demand appraisal of your shares of our common stock, you must satisfy each of the following conditions:
 
  •      You must deliver to us a written demand for appraisal of your shares before the vote with respect to the merger agreement is taken. This written demand for appraisal must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote abstaining from or voting against approval and adoption of the merger agreement. Voting against or failing to vote for approval and adoption of the merger agreement by itself does not constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of DGCL Section 262. Failure to vote against approval and adoption of the merger agreement will not constitute waiver of your appraisal rights.
 
  •      You must not vote in favor of approval and adoption of the merger agreement. A vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement, by proxy or in person, will constitute a waiver of your appraisal rights in respect of the shares so voted and will nullify any previously filed written demands for appraisal.
 
If you fail to comply with either of these conditions and the merger is completed, you will be entitled to receive the merger consideration for your shares of our common stock as provided for in the merger agreement, but you will have no appraisal rights with respect to your shares of our common stock.
 
All demands for appraisal should be addressed to the Corporate Secretary at Iomai Corporation, 20 Firstfield Road, Suite 250, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20878, and must be delivered to us before the vote on the merger agreement is taken at the special meeting, and should be executed by, or on behalf of, the record holder of the shares of our common stock. The demand must reasonably inform us of the identity of the stockholder and the intention of the stockholder to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares.
 
To be effective, a demand for appraisal by a holder of our common stock must be made by, or in the name of, such stockholder, fully and correctly, as the stockholder’s name appears on the stock certificate(s) and cannot be made by the beneficial owner if he or she does not also hold the shares of record. If you hold shares in the name of a broker or other nominee and you want to attempt to assert appraisal rights, you must instruct your nominee to take the steps necessary to enable you to assert appraisal rights. If you or your nominee fails to follow all of the steps required by the statute, you will lose your right of appraisal.
 
Within ten days after the closing of the merger, Iomai, as the surviving corporation, will be required to send a notice that the merger has become effective to each stockholder who delivered to us a demand for appraisal prior to the vote and who did not vote in favor of the merger.
 
Delisting and Deregistration of Our Common Stock
 
If the merger is completed, our common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market, or Nasdaq, and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act. As a result, our shares will no longer be available for trading and we will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC.
 
Structure of the Merger
 
The merger agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into us and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will thereupon cease, and we will be the surviving corporation and all of our rights, privileges, powers, immunities, purposes and franchises will continue unaffected by the merger, except that all of our then outstanding capital stock will be owned by Intercell, all outstanding stock options will be cashed out or exchanged for options to purchase Intercell common stock and thereafter cancelled and terminated, and all warrants will only represent the right to receive cash consideration, without interest, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of


36


Table of Contents

$6.60 over the exercise price of each such warrant multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrant.
 
Effective Time of the Merger
 
The merger will become effective when the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date and time as set forth in the certificate of merger.
 
Charter Documents, Directors and Officers of Iomai
 
The merger agreement provides that:
 
  •      our certificate of incorporation will be amended in the merger to be virtually identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the closing of the merger (except that the name of the surviving corporation will be “Iomai Corporation”) and, as so amended, will be our certificate of incorporation until changed or amended;
 
  •      the by-laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the closing of the merger will be our by-laws until changed or amended;
 
  •      the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the closing of the merger will be our directors until the earlier of their resignation, removal or death or their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be; and
 
  •      the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the closing of the merger will be our officers until the earlier of their resignation, removal or death or their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.
 
The Merger Consideration
 
Each share of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately before the merger, other than treasury shares, shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected, shares held by Intercell or Merger Sub, and shares held by stockholders party to the share exchange agreement, will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist and will be converted into the right to receive $6.60 in cash, without interest. After the merger is effective, each holder of a certificate representing any of these shares of our common stock will no longer have any rights with respect to the shares, except for the right to receive the $6.60 per share merger consideration or, if available, the right to receive payment of the appraisal value of its shares upon compliance with the requirements of Delaware law. Each share of our common stock held by us as treasury shares or held by Intercell or Merger Sub at the effective time of the merger will be cancelled without any payment.
 
YOU SHOULD NOT RETURN STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH THE ENCLOSED PROXY.  A transmittal form with instructions for the surrender of certificates representing shares of our common stock will be mailed to stockholders shortly after completion of the merger.
 
Treatment of Our Stock Options and Warrants
 
Under the merger agreement, each outstanding stock option issued under our 1998 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (whether or not then vested or exercisable), will be fully vested and exercisable no less than 30 days prior to the effective time of the merger in accordance with the terms of the plans. Upon the consummation of the merger, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, such options will be cancelled and terminated in accordance with the terms of the plans and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will, or will cause Iomai as the surviving corporation to, promptly, and in no event later than three business days after the effective time of the merger, pay to such holders of options, an amount in respect thereof equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of $6.60 over the exercise price of each such option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the option. No payments will be made with respect to stock options that have per share exercise prices above $6.60. The following is the number of options under our 1998 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Incentive Plan that have exercise prices under $6.60 that are outstanding as of July 2, 2008,

and the total amount of cash to be paid by Intercell upon consummation of the merger in consideration of cancellation and termination of such options:
 
                 
    In-The-Money
    Amount to be
 
Plan   Options Outstanding     Paid by Intercell  
 
1998 Plan
    7,961     $ 43,762  
1999 Plan
    1,645,232     $ 9,188,239  
 
Under the merger agreement and as a means to provide incentive compensation to continuing employees of the surviving corporation each outstanding stock option issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that is scheduled to vest prior to the effective time of the merger, will be exercisable prior to the effective time of the merger, and upon the consummation of the merger, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, will be cancelled and terminated and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will replace such option with a fully vested option to purchase shares of Intercell common stock, which will be exercisable during specific exercise windows as provided by Intercell’s Employee Stock Option Plan. For each outstanding stock option issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that is unvested by its terms as of the effective time of the merger, upon the consummation of the merger, such option will be cancelled and terminated and, in consideration of such cancellation and termination, Intercell will replace such option with an unvested option to purchase shares of Intercell common stock, with the same vesting schedule the cancelled and terminated option had under Iomai’s 2005 Incentive Plan. We refer to all options to purchase shares of Intercell common stock issued in consideration of cancellation and termination of Iomai options, as “substituted Intercell options.” As of July 2, 2008, there were 682,302 vested options and 1,966,556 unvested options outstanding that were issued under our 2005 Incentive Plan that, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, would be cancelled and terminated in exchange for substituted Intercell options upon consummation of the merger.
 
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code was enacted in 2004. It is a broad provision that imposes significant restrictions on payments that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A. An individual who receives compensation that is subject to, and in violation of, Section 409A is subject to a 20% additional income tax and other adverse tax consequences. In order to ensure that the substituted Intercell options granted in exchange for cancelled and terminated Iomai options are not subject to the adverse consequences of Section 409A, the cancelled and terminated Iomai options must be exchanged for substituted Intercell options in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). With regard to the exercise price and number of shares subject to substituted Intercell options, this regulation requires (1) that the ratio of (a) the exercise price of each substituted Intercell option to (b) the fair market value of the shares subject to such substituted Intercell option on the date such substituted Intercell option is granted may not be more favorable to the option holder than the ratio of (c) the exercise price of each cancelled and terminated Iomai option to (d) the merger consideration, and (2) that the aggregate value of the substituted Intercell options (calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the shares subject to such substituted Intercell options and the exercise price of such substituted Intercell options) multiplied by the number of shares subject to such substituted Intercell options, may not be greater than the aggregate value of the cancelled and terminated Iomai options (calculated as the difference between the merger consideration and the exercise price of such Iomai options) multiplied by the number of shares subject to such Iomai options.
 
The exercise price of each substituted Intercell option shall be determined by multiplying (1) the ratio of (a) the exercise price of each cancelled and terminated Iomai option to (b) the merger consideration, by (2) the fair market value of Intercell common stock. In each case, the exercise price of the substituted Intercell option will be determined on the date of the option substitution (the date that the substituted Intercell options are granted). For purposes of the option substitution, the fair market value of Intercell common stock is the closing sales price of Intercell common stock on the Vienna Stock Exchange, as converted to U.S. Dollars, on the day prior to the day the substituted Intercell options are granted.
 
Once the exercise price of the substituted Intercell options has been determined, the number of substituted Intercell options to be granted will be calculated by dividing (1) (a) the aggregate merger consideration for shares subject to the cancelled and terminated Iomai options minus (b) the aggregate exercise price of such options by (2) (a) the fair market value of Intercell common stock minus (b) the exercise price of the substituted Intercell options. Any option to purchase fractional shares resulting from such calculation will be cashed out at the time the substituted Intercell options are granted.

Table of Contents

As an example, if 100 Iomai stock options were issued under the 2005 Incentive Plan with an exercise price of $4.40, and the fair market value of Intercell common stock (as converted to U.S. Dollars) is $48, then:
 
  •      the exercise price of the substituted Intercell options will be $32 ($4.40 divided by $6.60, or 0.667, multiplied by $48);
 
  •      the number of substituted Intercell options will be 13 ((1)(a) $660 minus (b) $440 divided by (2) (a) $48 minus (b) $32); and
 
  •      $12 in cash will be paid in lieu of an option to purchase fractional shares.
 
Iomai, as the surviving corporation, will treat substituted Intercell options for tax reporting and withholding purposes in accordance with the regulations and other applicable guidance under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Under the terms of our 2005 Incentive Plan, for options held by our non-employee directors, each outstanding option to purchase our common stock, to the extent not exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and terminated and will thereafter represent the right to receive, in consideration for such cancellation, a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the $6.60 per share merger consideration over the per share option exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock subject to the option.
 
Upon the consummation of the merger, our 1998 Stock Option Plan, 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and 2005 Incentive Plan will terminate, and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of Iomai will be cancelled.
 
Under the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the merger, each outstanding warrant to purchase common stock will only represent the right to receive cash consideration, without interest, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of $6.60 over the exercise price of each such warrant multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant. Following the merger, Intercell will, or will cause Iomai as the surviving corporation to, honor the obligation to pay such amounts under the warrants. No payment will be made with respect to warrants that have per share exercise prices equal to or greater than $6.60. As of July 2, 2008, there were warrants to purchase 2,079,639 shares of our common stock outstanding, all with exercise prices of $5.25 per share. To the extent none of these warrants are exercised prior to the effective time of the merger, upon consummation of the merger, the warrants would represent the right to receive an aggregate of $2,807,513 in cash consideration.
 
The payments due to the holders of our stock options and warrants may be reduced by the amount of any required tax withholding.
 
Exchange Agent
 
Intercell has designated American Stock Transfer and Trust Company to act as exchange agent in the merger.
 
Surrender of Stock Certificates
 
Once the merger is complete, Intercell will cause to be deposited with the exchange agent (for the benefit of our stockholders) the cash amounts required to pay the merger consideration. At the effective time of the merger, shares of our common stock (except for shares for which appraisal rights may have been perfected, as described in “Appraisal Rights” above):
 
  •      will no longer be outstanding;
 
  •      will automatically be canceled and retired; and
 
  •      will cease to exist.
 
In addition, from and after the effective time of the merger, each certificate formerly representing any such share of our common stock will represent only the right to receive the $6.60 per share merger consideration which the holder of the certificate is entitled to receive pursuant to the merger.


39


Table of Contents

No interest will accrue or be paid with respect to the merger consideration. Until holders of certificates previously representing shares of our common stock have surrendered those certificates to the exchange agent, holders will not receive the merger consideration due in respect of the shares formerly represented by such certificates.
 
As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the merger but in any event no later than five business days after the effective time of the merger, the exchange agent will mail to each holder of record of shares of our common stock a transmittal form and instructions for its use in delivering certificates to the exchange agent in exchange for the merger consideration due in respect of the shares formerly represented by such certificates. After receipt of its certificates by the exchange agent, together with a properly executed transmittal form and such other documents specified in the instructions that the exchange agent reasonably requires, the exchange agent will deliver to each stockholder the $6.60 per share merger consideration multiplied by the number of shares of common stock formerly represented by the certificate(s) surrendered by the stockholder. If a transfer of ownership of shares has occurred but has not been registered in our transfer records, then a check for the merger consideration applicable to such shares may be issued to the transferee if the certificate representing the shares is presented to the exchange agent accompanied by all documents and endorsements required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.
 
Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates
 
If any certificate representing shares of our common stock is lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will deliver the applicable merger consideration due in respect of the shares formerly represented by that certificate if:
 
  •      the stockholder asserting the claim of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate makes an affidavit of that fact; and
 
  •      if requested by Intercell, the stockholder posts a reasonable indemnity or bond as security against any claim that may be made with respect to that certificate against Iomai or Intercell following the effective time of the merger.
 
Unclaimed Amounts
 
Any portion of the exchange fund that remains undistributed to our stockholders six months after the effective time of the merger will be delivered by the paying agent to Intercell, and any of our stockholders who have not previously surrendered their stock certificates will only be entitled to look to Intercell for payment of the merger consideration due in respect of the shares of common stock formerly represented by their certificates. After the fifth anniversary of the effective time of the merger (or immediately prior to the time such property would escheat to or become property of a government authority) the merger consideration with respect to any remaining stock certificates which have not been surrendered will become property of Intercell, subject to any applicable law. None of the exchange agent, Iomai, Merger Sub or Intercell will be liable for any amounts properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
 
THE MERGER AGREEMENT
 
The following description summarizes the material provisions of the merger agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the merger agreement. The merger agreement included in this proxy statement as Annex A contains the complete terms of that agreement and stockholders should read it carefully and in its entirety .
 
The Merger.  The merger agreement provides that, following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below under “Conditions to the Merger,” (i) Merger Sub will be merged with and into Iomai and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will thereupon cease and (ii) Iomai will be the surviving corporation in the merger and will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercell. Each issued share of our common stock (other than any shares owned by Intercell, Merger Sub, any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercell or Iomai, by stockholders, if any, who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law, or any stockholders who are party to the share exchange agreement) will be converted into the right to receive $6.60 in cash, without interest thereon.
 
Vote Required to Approve Merger.  The approval and adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least a majority of shares of our common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date.

Intercell and Merger Sub have made representations and warranties regarding, among other things:
 
  •      their due organization, good standing and qualification;
 
  •      the authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;

These representations and warranties were made to and solely for the benefit of the parties as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in such representations and warranties are qualified by information contained in the confidential disclosure schedule that we delivered in connection with signing the merger agreement. Accordingly, such representations and warranties may not be relied on as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they were only made as of the date of the merger agreement and are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the merger agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures.
 
Certain representations and warranties in the merger agreement provide exceptions for items that are not reasonably likely to have a “Company Material Adverse Effect.” For purposes of the merger agreement, a “Company Material Adverse Effect” means: any event, condition, change, occurrence or development of a state of facts that, individually or in the aggregate with all other events, conditions, changes, occurrences or developments of a state of facts, is materially adverse to (A) the business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of Iomai or (B) the ability of Iomai to timely perform its obligations under the merger agreement in compliance with its terms or to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and exchange agreements; provided, however, that no such event, condition, change, occurrence or development of a state of circumstances shall be considered in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred to the extent that it is proximately caused by:
 
  •      changes in economic or vaccine industry conditions in the United States (and in each case to the extent that Iomai is not disproportionately adversely affected);
 
  •      acts of terrorism, war or natural disasters occurring after the date hereof (and in each case to the extent that Iomai is not disproportionately affected);
 
  •      any loss of employees, customers or suppliers proximately caused by the pendency or announcement of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and exchange agreements (provided, however, that any legal or contractual consequence of the execution of the merger agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and exchange agreements that has not been disclosed to Intercell in the merger agreement or the confidential disclosure schedule shall not be excluded under this clause (3));
 
  •      any loss of funding under a government contract proximately caused by the fact that Intercell is a non-U.S. entity;
 
  •      changes in GAAP;
 
  •      the failure of Iomai to meet revenue, earnings or other internal or analysts’ projections, in and of itself (it being understood that any event, condition, change, occurrence or development of a state of facts that may have caused or contributed to any such failure may be deemed to constitute, in and of itself, a Company Material Adverse Effect and may be taken into consideration when determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred);

Table of Contents

 
  •      any action taken by Iomai with Intercell’s written consent or the taking of any action expressly required by the merger agreement;
 
  •      a decline in Iomai’s stock price, in and of itself (it being understood that any event, condition, change, occurrence or development of a state of facts that may have caused or contributed to any such decline may be deemed to constitute, in and of itself, a Company Material Adverse Effect and may be taken into consideration when determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred); and
 
  •      any legal proceedings commenced by any stockholder of Iomai against Iomai or any member of Iomai’s board of directors or Intercell arising out of the execution of the merger agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and exchange agreements.

Iomai Stockholders’ Meeting; Recommendation. We will take, in accordance with applicable law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, all action necessary to convene a meeting of holders of common stock as promptly as practicable after the date the merger agreement was executed for the purpose of considering and voting upon the adoption of the merger agreement by our stockholders. Subject to our right to terminate the merger agreement described below under the heading “—Termination,” the merger agreement must be submitted to our stockholders at the stockholder meeting for the purpose of adopting the merger agreement.
 
Alternative Acquisition Proposals. The merger agreement requires us to cease all existing discussions or negotiations with any persons or entities with respect to any offer or proposal or potential offer or proposal relating to any transaction or proposed transaction or series of related transactions, other than the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, involving:
 
  •      the direct or indirect acquisition (including by way of a license) (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of assets of Iomai equal to 15% or more of Iomai’s consolidated assets or to which 15% or more of Iomai’s revenues or earnings on a consolidated basis are attributable,
 
  •      the direct or indirect acquisition of 15% or more of any class of equity securities of Iomai,
 
  •      a tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person, entity or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) beneficially owning 15% or more of any class of equity securities of Iomai, or
 
  •      a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Iomai.
 
Each of the above four bullet points is referred to in the merger agreement as an “Takeover Proposal.”
 
Except as provided in the following two paragraphs, from the date of the merger agreement until the earlier of termination of the merger agreement or the effective time of the merger, we will not and will not authorize or permit our officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or other agents to directly or indirectly:
 
  •      solicit, initiate, or take any action to intentionally or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) the submission of, any Takeover Proposal,
 
  •      approve or recommend any Takeover Proposal, enter into any agreement, agreement-in-principle or letter of intent with respect to or accept any Takeover Proposal (or resolve to or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing), or
 
  •      participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person or entity any non-public information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in response to an unsolicited, written Takeover Proposal made after the date of the merger agreement (in circumstances not involving an intentional breach or knowing violation of Section 6.8 of the merger agreement), our board of directors reasonably determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of Cowen or a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that such Takeover Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal (as defined below) and with respect to which our board of directors determines in good faith, after consulting with and receiving the advice of outside counsel, that not taking such action would be inconsistent with our board of directors’ fiduciary duties to our stockholders under Delaware law, then we may, at any time prior to the stockholder vote adopting the merger agreement (but in no event after such time):
 
  •      furnish information with respect to Iomai to the person or entity making such Takeover Proposal (and its representatives), but only pursuant to a confidentiality agreement in customary form that, among other things, is no less favorable

  to us than the Confidentiality Agreement between Iomai and Intercell, and provided such confidentiality agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with Iomai, and we have given not less than 24 hours notice to Intercell of our intention to enter into such confidentiality agreement and furnished Intercell with any such information not previously provided to Intercell,
 
  •      conduct discussions or negotiations with such person or entity regarding such Takeover Proposal, and
 
  •      to the extent permitted under the merger agreement, enter into a binding written agreement concerning a transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal.
 
For purposes of the merger agreement, a “Superior Proposal” is any written offer, obtained after the date of the merger agreement and not in intentional breach or knowing violation of Section 6.8 of the merger agreement, to acquire, directly or indirectly, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, more than 50% of the outstanding voting equity securities of Iomai or all or substantially all of the assets of Iomai, and is on terms that the our board of directors determines in its good faith judgment (after receipt of the advice of Cowen or a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside counsel), taking into account all relevant factors, (i) would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable to Iomai stockholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (including the terms of any proposal by Intercell to modify the terms of such transactions) and (ii) is reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed.
 
We have agreed to provide Intercell written notice of any Takeover Proposal and any inquiry with respect to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Takeover Proposal within 24 hours after receipt thereof. Such notice will include the material terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal, request or inquiry including the identity of the person making such Takeover Proposal or inquiry, and a copy of all written materials provided by such person. We have also agreed to keep Intercell fully informed on a current basis of the status, including any change to the terms and conditions thereof, of any Takeover Proposal or inquiry.
 
In the merger agreement, we have agreed that neither our board of directors or any committee thereof will:
 
  •      fail to make, withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Intercell, the recommendation or the approval or declaration of advisability by our board of directors of the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the exchange agreements,
 
  •      approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Takeover Proposal, or
 
  •      cause or permit us to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement constituting, or which is intended to or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Takeover Proposal, or resolve or agree to take any such action.
 
Any failure or action described in the three bullets above is referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change.”
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our board of directors may, at any time prior to the stockholder vote adopting the merger agreement:
 
  •      withdraw or modify its recommendation or the approval or declaration of advisability by our board of directors of the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the exchange agreements,
 
  •      recommend a Takeover Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, or
 
  •      to the extent permitted under the merger agreement, enter into a binding written agreement concerning a transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal,


46


Table of Contents

 
provided that, among other things:
 
  •      our board of directors determines in good faith, after consulting with and receiving the advice of outside counsel, determines that not making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with our board of directors’ fiduciary duties to our stockholders under Delaware law,
 
  •      no Company Adverse Recommendation Change may be made in the absence of a Superior Proposal unless such change is based upon information that is unknown to our board of directors as of the date of the merger agreement but becomes known prior to the receipt of the stockholder vote adopting the merger agreement, and
 
  •      no Company Adverse Recommendation Change may be made until the third business day following Intercell’s receipt of written notice of such determination by our board of directors (unless the stockholders meeting is scheduled to convene during such three business day period, in which case Intercell must be given as much notice as possible in advance of such meeting).
 
None of the foregoing restrictions will prohibit us or our board of directors from (i) taking and disclosing to our stockholders our position with respect to any tender or exchange offer by a third party pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making such disclosure to our stockholders as in the good faith judgment of our board of directors, after receipt of advice from outside legal counsel, as required under applicable law and that the failure to make such disclosure would cause our board of directors to violate our fiduciary duties to our stockholders under applicable law.
 
Employee Benefits. Intercell has agreed to honor, in accordance with their terms and applicable law, all Company Employee Benefit Plans (as defined in the merger agreement) and all accrued benefits thereunder; it being understood and agreed that nothing can prevent Intercell from amending or terminating any Company Employee Benefit Plan or other agreement in accordance with its terms and applicable law. For a period of at least six months following the consummation of the merger, Intercell has agreed to provide our U.S. employees who are retained by Intercell with employee benefits (excluding equity and change in control plans, programs, or arrangements) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those benefits provided to such employees immediately prior to the effective time of the merger; provided, however, that Intercell is under no obligation to retain any Iomai employee or group of employees other than as required by applicable law or an employment agreement. For purposes of Intercell’s employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements, Intercell has agreed, among other things, to treat the prior service with Iomai of each person who is an employee or former employee of Iomai immediately prior to the consummation of the merger as service rendered to Intercell
 
Indemnification and Insurance. Intercell has agreed that any rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation existing in favor of our directors or officers as provided in our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws or pursuant to any other agreements, in each case, in effect as of the date of the merger agreement, shall survive the merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For six years after the effective time of the merger, Intercell has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless our directors and officers against losses, claims, damages or other liabilities with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the effective time of the merger, and Intercell guarantees any such obligations of the surviving corporation. For at least six years after the effective time of the merger, Intercell will cause the surviving corporation to maintain our current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective time of the merger, covering each person currently covered by our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on the same limits, terms and conditions with respect to such coverage and amounts; provided that Intercell may substitute policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms no less advantageous to such directors and officers, with such substitution not resulting in gaps or lapses of coverage with respect to matters actually or allegedly occurring prior to the date of the merger agreement, and provided that Intercell is not obligated to pay more than 250% of the last annual aggregate premium paid prior to the date of the merger agreement by Iomai in the aggregate to obtain such coverage. Additionally, the merger agreement provides that Intercell will have an option to cause coverage to be extended under our current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy on terms and conditions no less advantageous than our current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, provided such “tail” policy can be obtained for no more than 250% of the last annual aggregate premium paid prior to the date of the merger agreement by Iomai in the aggregate to obtain such coverage.
 
Stockholder Litigation. We will have the right to control the defense of any stockholder litigation related to the merger agreement, the merger or the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; provided that we must give Intercell the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such stockholder litigation. We will not make any settlement with respect to any such litigation without Intercell’s prior written consent.
 
Interim Financing. Intercell has agreed to lend us, at our option, up to a principal amount of $5,000,000 in immediately available funds, in two installments of up to $2,500,000 each, on August 1, 2008 and September 2, 2008, respectively; provided,


47


Table of Contents

however, that Intercell shall not be obligated to make any such loan to us (a) upon the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) if the effective time of the merger occurs prior to August 1, 2008, or (c) if we have breached in any material respect any of our obligations under the form of promissory note attached to the merger agreement, and such breach has not been cured. Additionally, Intercell is not obligated to make the second loan to us on September 2, 2008 if the effective time of the merger occurs after August 1, 2008 and before September 2, 2008. The loans will be evidenced by a single promissory note, in the form attached to the merger agreement, as executed by Iomai on the date of the merger agreement and payable to the order of Intercell in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the loans. Under the terms of the promissory note, we would be obligated to pay interest, in cash, at a fixed rate of 10% per annum, quarterly in arrears, on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 in each year until the maturity date, beginning on December 31, 2008. The maturity date of the promissory note is the date immediately following the termination of the merger agreement by either Intercell or us for any reason, and on such date, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the promissory note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, would become immediately payable. The loans are not revolving in nature and no loan may be reborrowed once it has been repaid. We must give Intercell at least five business days irrevocable written notice of our intention to receive a loan from Intercell.

In the event that the merger agreement is terminated for any reason set forth above, the merger agreement will become null and void and be of no further force or effect and there will be no liability on the part of Intercell, Merger Sub or Iomai (or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, agents or representatives), except for certain enumerated exceptions; provided, however, that such a termination will not relieve any party from liability for fraud or the knowing and intentional breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the merger agreement.

Termination Fee. We have agreed to pay Intercell a cash termination fee of $6,000,000 (“Termination Fee”) if the merger agreement is terminated:
 
  •      By Intercell of Iomai pursuant to clause (b) or (d) under the heading “—Termination” above, if a Takeover Proposal shall be pending or shall have been made or remade to Iomai or shall have been made or remade directly to our stockholders generally or any person shall have publicly announced an intention to make a Takeover Proposal, and thereafter we enter into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummate a transaction contemplated by, any Takeover Proposal (replacing “15%” in the definition thereof with “50%”) within 12 months of the date the merger agreement is terminated (so long as, in the case of a transaction that has not been consummated within such period, such transaction is thereafter consummated);
 
  •      By Intercell pursuant to clause (f)(ii) under the heading “—Termination” above, if a Takeover Proposal shall be pending or shall have been made or remade to Iomai or shall have been made or remade directly to our stockholders generally or any person shall have publicly announced an intention to make a Takeover Proposal, and thereafter we enter into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummate a transaction contemplated by, any Takeover Proposal (replacing “15%” in the definition thereof with “50%”) within 12 months of the date the merger agreement is terminated (so long as, in the case of a transaction that has not been consummated within such period, such transaction is thereafter consummated);
 
  •      By Intercell pursuant to clause (e) under the heading “—Termination” above;
 
  •      By Intercell or Iomai pursuant to clause (b) or (d) under the heading “—Termination” above or by Intercell pursuant to clause (f) under the heading “—Termination” above, following any time at which Intercell is entitled to terminate the merger agreement pursuant to clause (e) under the heading “—Termination” above; or
 
  •      By Iomai pursuant to clause (h) under the heading “—Termination” above.
 
For terminations by us pursuant to clause (h) under the heading ‘‘—Termination” above, we must pay the Termination Fee to Intercell in cash no later than ten business days following such termination; provided, however, that if we have not paid such amount in cash by the tenth business day following termination, then we are obligated to immediately provide to Intercell, in lieu of cash, the number of newly issued shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) of our common stock equal to (A) $6,000,000 divided by (B) $2.362, which is the average of the closing sale prices for our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market, as reported in The Wall Street Journal for each of the 15 consecutive trading days ending with the trading day immediately preceding the date of the merger agreement (the “Average Price”). We are also then obligated to promptly, and in any event within two business days following conclusion of the ten business day period following termination of the merger agreement, prepare and file with the SEC, and have declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable following such filing, a resale shelf registration statement on Form S-3 covering such shares of our common stock issued to Intercell pursuant to a registration rights agreement (in customary form) to be agreed upon and entered into by the parties. We have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to keep such shelf registration statement continuously effective, in compliance with the Securities Act and usable for resale of such shares until the earlier of (1) the day on which Intercell no longer holds any such shares issued in lieu of the cash Termination Fee and (2) the first anniversary of the issuance of such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of shares issued to Intercell in lieu of the cash Termination Fee exceed the number of shares equal to 19.9% of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the merger agreement, and if under any circumstance the Average Price multiplied by the number of shares of our common stock issued in lieu of the cash Termination Fee is less than $6,000,000, then we will pay to Intercell such difference in cash on the day of the issuance of the shares.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in merger agreement, if we, prior to the receipt of the Iomai stockholder vote adopting the merger agreement, receive an unsolicited, written Takeover Proposal made in circumstances not involving an intentional breach or knowing violation of Section 6.8 of the merger agreement, and our board of directors reasonably determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of Cowen or a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that such Takeover Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, then we will use reasonable best efforts to fund the payment of the Termination Fee due in the event of a termination by Iomai pursuant to clause (h) under the heading ‘‘— Termination” above, in cash within ten business days following the date of termination .
 
Intercell and Merger Sub have agreed that in the event Intercell receives a Termination Fee, the receipt by Intercell of such amount shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for Intercell and Merger Sub, and such amount shall constitute liquidated damages in respect of, any termination of the merger agreement, provided no party is relieved from liability for any intentional breach of the merger agreement prior to its termination

Consents and Approvals. Under the merger agreement, each of Iomai, Intercell and Merger Sub will use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective in the most expeditious manner practicable, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including (i) obtaining all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations and actions or non-actions required for or in connection with the consummation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and exchange agreements, (ii) the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, a governmental authority, (iii) the obtaining of all necessary consents from third parties, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of the merger agreement.
 
Amendment. The merger agreement may be amended by action taken by or on behalf of the respective boards of directors of the parties to the agreement at any time prior to the effective time of the merger; provided that, after Iomai stockholders have approved the merger, no amendment may be made that in any way materially adversely affects the rights of such stockholders (other than a termination of the merger agreement in accordance with the provisions thereof) without the further approval of such stockholders. The merger agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties thereto.
 
Waiver. Any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition under the merger agreement may be waived at any time prior to the effective time of the merger by any of the parties entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument signed by each such party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
 
SHARE EXCHANGE AND VOTING AGREEMENTS
 
The following description summarizes the material provisions of the share exchange agreement and the voting agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the share exchange agreement and the voting agreement. The share exchange agreement included in this proxy statement as Annex C contains the complete terms of that agreement and stockholders should read it carefully and in its entirety. The voting agreement included in this proxy statement as Annex B contains the complete terms of that agreement and stockholders should read it carefully and in its entirety.
 
Share Exchange Agreement
 
New Enterprise Associates, Essex Woodlands Health Ventures, and Gruber and McBaine Capital Management (and certain of their respective affiliates), have entered into a share exchange agreement with Intercell, whereby each of them has agreed to, among other things, exchange all shares of Iomai common stock held by such stockholder into shares of Intercell common stock prior to the effective time of the merger. As of the record date, the stockholders who are party to the share exchange agreement held approximately 41% of our outstanding common stock.
 
Under the terms of the share exchange agreement, each share of Iomai common stock held by such stockholder will be exchanged for the number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) of Intercell common stock equal to $6.60 divided by the closing sale price for Intercell common stock on the Vienna Stock Exchange on the closing date of the share exchange (with such closing sale price being converted from Euros to U.S. Dollars). Intercell will register these newly-issued shares with the appropriate Austrian authorities and apply to list them on the Vienna Stock Exchange. The shares of Intercell common stock issued in the share exchange will be issued pursuant to a valid private placement in the U.S. and will be “restricted securities” for the purposes of U.S. federal securities laws.
 
In connection with the share exchange, Intercell will seek to register an increase of its share capital (the “Capital Increase”) in the Vienna Commercial Register (the “Commercial Register”). Under the terms of the share exchange agreement, Intercell must use its reasonable best efforts to file an application for the registration of the Capital Increase with the Commercial Register prior to the opening of the Vienna Stock Exchange for trading on the business day immediately following the share exchange closing date, and in any event no later than the second business day following the share exchange closing date. Intercell must use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the Commercial Register in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to (i) discuss and seek pre-clearance with the Commercial Register of the filing of the registration of the Capital Increase in an attempt to expedite the review and approval process with respect thereto and (ii) consummate and make effective in the most expeditious manner practicable, the registration of the Capital Increase in the Commercial Register.

Table of Contents

In connection with the application for the registration of the Capital Increase with the Commercial Register, an independent auditor must issue a report addressing the adequacy of the in-kind contribution of the stockholders’ shares of Iomai common stock to be provided to Intercell in exchange for the Intercell shares. If (i) the report of the independent auditor fails to conclude that the value of the stockholders’ shares of Iomai common stock is at least as high as the value of the Intercell shares, or (ii) the Commercial Register does not accept the registration of the Capital Increase within 15 days following the share exchange closing date, then the right of the stockholders to receive shares of Intercell common stock will automatically terminate and Intercell will instead deliver to each stockholder party to the share exchange agreement cash equal to the product of (x) the number of such stockholder’s shares of Iomai common stock and (y) $6.60. Intercell will pay such cash, if applicable, to the stockholders within five business days following the effective time of the merger.
 
Intercell and the stockholders may not amend or modify the share exchange agreement (a) to increase or decrease, or change the form of, the consideration to be paid to the stockholders pursuant to the share exchange agreement, or (b) in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the share exchange or the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, in each case, without the prior written consent of Iomai.
 
The closing of the share exchange is conditioned upon, among other things, all of the closing conditions contained in the merger agreement having been satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waived. The share exchange agreement will terminate on the earliest of (a) September 30, 2008, (b) Intercell’s delivery of its newly issued shares or the alternative cash consideration to the stockholders, (c) the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with the termination provisions thereof (please see “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” above on page 49 for more details) and (d) the written agreement of Intercell and the stockholders party to the share exchange agreement.
 
Voting Agreement
 
In connection with the merger agreement, our executive officers and New Enterprise Associates, Essex Woodlands Health Ventures, Gruber and McBaine Capital Management, Technology Partners Fund, and ProQuest Investments (and certain of their respective affiliates) entered into a voting agreement with Intercell. As of the record date, the stockholders who are party to the voting agreement held approximately 51% of our outstanding common stock.
 
Under the terms of the voting agreement, each of the above stockholders irrevocably appointed Intercell as its proxy to vote all shares of our outstanding common stock held by that stockholder as of the record date:
 
  •      in favor of the merger and the adoption of the merger agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and any actions required in furtherance thereof;
 
  •      against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation of Iomai under the merger agreement; and
 
  •      against (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, rights offering, reorganization, recapitalization or liquidation involving Iomai (other than the merger), (ii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets or capital stock of Iomai or (iii) any action that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, prevent, delay, postpone or adversely affect the merger or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
 
During the term of the voting agreement, except as otherwise provided therein, each stockholder agrees not to:
 
  •      sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of its shares, options or warrants, other than as permitted under the share exchange agreement discussed above;
 
  •      grant any proxies or powers of attorney or enter into a voting agreement (other than the identified voting agreement) or other arrangement with respect to its shares, options or warrants;
 
  •      enter into, or deposit its shares, options or warrants into, a voting trust or take any other action which would, or could reasonably be expected to, result in a diminution of the voting power represented by any of its shares, options or warrants; or
 
  •      commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions.


53


Table of Contents

 
Under the terms of the voting agreement, each stockholder agrees not to exercise any appraisal rights or any dissenters’ rights that such stockholder may have or could potentially have in connection with the merger or the merger agreement.
 
The voting agreement will terminate on the earliest of (a) September 30, 2008, (b) the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with the termination provisions thereof (please see “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” above on page 49 for more details), (c) the written agreement of Intercell and the stockholders party to the voting agreement to terminate the voting agreement, (d) the consummation of the merger, and (e) the date of any modification, waiver or amendment to the merger agreement to alter the merger consideration in a manner adverse to the stockholders without the stockholders’ consent.
 
ADJOURNMENT OR POSTPONEMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING
 
If at the special meeting the number of shares of Iomai common stock present or represented and voting in favor of the approval of the merger agreement is insufficient to approve the merger agreement under Delaware law and under our certificate of incorporation, our management may move to adjourn or postpone the special meeting in order to enable our board of directors to continue to solicit additional proxies in favor of the approval of the merger agreement. In that event, we will ask you to vote only upon the adjournment or postponement proposal and not the merger proposal.
 
In this proposal, we are asking you to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by our board of directors to vote in favor of adjourning or postponing the special meeting and any later adjournments. If our stockholders approve the adjournment or postponement proposal, we could adjourn or postpone the special meeting, and any adjourned session of the special meeting, to use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposal to approve the merger agreement, including the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders that have previously voted against the merger proposal. Among other things, approval of the adjournment or postponement proposal could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes against the proposal to approve the merger agreement, we could adjourn or postpone the special meeting without a vote on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and seek to convince the holders of those shares to change their votes to votes in favor of the approval of the merger agreement.
 
The adjournment or postponement proposal requires that holders of more of our shares vote in favor of the adjournment or postponement proposal than vote against the proposal. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. No proxy that is specifically marked AGAINST the proposal to approve the merger agreement will be voted in favor of the adjournment or postponement proposal, unless it is specifically marked FOR the discretionary authority to adjourn or postpone the special meeting to a later date.
 
Our board of directors believes that if the number of shares of our common stock present or represented at the special meeting and voting in favor of the proposal to approve the merger agreement is insufficient to approve the merger agreement, it is in the best interests of our stockholders to enable the board, for a limited period of time, to continue to seek to obtain a sufficient number of additional votes to approve the merger agreement.
 
FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS
 
We do not, as a matter of course, make public projections as to future performance, earnings or other results, and we are especially wary of making projections for extended periods due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, in connection with the evaluation of potential business combination and partnering transactions and the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, our board of directors reviewed a set of projections prepared by our management regarding our future financial performance for fiscal years 2008 through 2014 and also provided the projections to Cowen for purposes of its financial analyses and in connection with rendering its fairness opinion. We have included below the material portions of these projections to give our stockholders access to certain nonpublic information prepared for purposes of considering and evaluating the merger. The inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that we, our board of directors or Intercell considered, or now considers, this information to be predictive of actual future results, and such data should not be relied upon as such. A summary of the projections are set forth below.

The internal financial projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, nor were they prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC, the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial forecasts, or generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the projections were not prepared with the assistance of or reviewed, compiled or examined by independent accountants. The financial projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared. Projections of this type are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to factors such as industry performance, general business, economic, political, development, technology, competitive, regulatory, market and financial conditions, as well as changes to our business, financial condition or results of operations, which factors may cause the financial projections or the underlying assumptions to be inaccurate. Since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes even less reliable with each successive year.
 
We advised Cowen that the internal financial information, upon which the projections were based, are subjective in many respects, but provided a reasonable basis for Cowen’s opinion. The projections reflect numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. The projections also anticipate favorable assumptions related to our business, including partnering of our travelers’ diarrhea program, that are inherently subject to significant economic, political, development, technology, market, regulatory, financial and competitive uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected.
 
Accordingly, there can be no assurances that the projections will be realized, and actual results may vary materially from those shown. Readers of this proxy statement are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the specific portions of the financial projections set forth above. The inclusion of these internal financial projections in this proxy statement should not be regarded as an indication that we, Intercell, Merger Sub and any of our or their respective affiliates, advisors or representatives considered or consider the internal financial forecasts to be necessarily predictive of actual future events, and the internal financial projections should not be relied upon as such. None of us, Intercell, Merger Sub nor our or their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors, partners or representatives can give any assurance that actual results will not differ from these internal financial projections or undertake any obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile the internal financial projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date such projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error. Neither we, nor, to our knowledge, Intercell or Merger Sub, intends to make publicly available any update or other revisions to these internal financial projections. No one has made or makes any representation to any stockholder or anyone else regarding the information included in these projections.
 
STOCK OWNERSHIP OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
 
The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of common stock as of July 2, 2008 by: (i) selected executive officers and all of our directors and (ii) any entity who, to our knowledge, owns 5% or more of the common

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty (60) days of July 2, 2008 are deemed outstanding. These shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, each stockholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite that stockholders’ name.

FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
Proposals to be included in the proxy statement.  If the merger is completed, all shares of our common stock will be held by Intercell, we will not have public stockholders and there will be no public participation in any future meeting of stockholders.

Other proposals (not to be included in the proxy statement).  Under our by-laws, a stockholder must follow certain procedures to nominate persons for election as directors or to introduce an item of business at an annual meeting of stockholders.

Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with such bank or trust company as may be designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “ Exchange Agent ”), which shall provide for the payment of Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall take all steps necessary to enable and cause the Surviving Corporation to, deposit with the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Article 2, the cash necessary to pay for the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration (the “ Exchange Fund ”). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Such Merger Consideration deposited with the Exchange Agent shall, pending its disbursement to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent in (i) direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for payment of all principal and interest, (iii) commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies or (iv) money market funds investing solely in a combination of the foregoing, or a combination thereof, as directed by and for the benefit of the Surviving Corporation; provided , however , that no gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable hereunder and Parent shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Exchange Fund includes at all times cash sufficient to satisfy Parent’s obligation under this Agreement to pay the Merger Consideration. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such amounts on deposit with the Exchange Agent will be payable to Parent or as Parent otherwise directs.
 
(b)  Exchange Procedures . As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time but in any event not later than five Business Days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “ Certificates ”) whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.2, (i) a letter of transmittal (in customary form which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate entitle such holder to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2 and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender in accordance with this Section 2.3 the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.2. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2.
 
(c)  No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock . The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificates, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2, except as otherwise provided by Law.
 
(d)  Termination of Exchange Fund . Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, as general creditors thereof) for payment of their claim for Merger Consideration.
 
(e)  No Liability . None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered prior to five years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article 2 would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority), any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent and paid to the appropriate taxing authorities, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent.
 
SECTION 2.4. Company Options . Except as set forth on Section 2.4 of the Company Disclosure Letter:
 
(a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Company Board ”) (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to provide that each Option outstanding at the applicable time described below (i) issued under either the 1998 Stock Option Plan, as amended, or the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall be fully vested and exercisable no less than 30 days prior to the Effective Time and (ii) issued under the 2005 Incentive Plan that, under the terms of the 2005 Incentive Plan and the applicable Option agreement, will vest prior to the Effective Time shall be exercisable prior to the Effective Time. To the extent that an Option issued under the 1998 Stock Option Plan, as amended, or the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan that is vested and exercisable pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.4 or under the terms of the applicable Option Plan and the applicable Option agreement is not exercised prior to the Effective Time, such Option shall be cancelled and terminated, and converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive a cash amount equal to the Option Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock then subject to the Option. If the Option Consideration shall be zero or a negative number, the Option shall be cancelled and terminated and no such cash payment shall be due and owing. Except as otherwise provided below, any Option Consideration due and owing shall be paid by Parent and the Surviving Corporation as soon after the Closing Date as shall be practicable and in any event, within three Business Days following the Effective Time.

A Substituted Unvested Option will vest on the same schedule as the corresponding Option under the 2005 Incentive Plan that was cancelled and terminated in exchange for such Substituted Unvested Option. However, a Substituted Unvested Option may be subject to accelerated vesting under the terms of an option holder’s employment or change in control agreement with Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise price and number of shares subject to the Substituted Vested Option and the Substituted Unvested Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the objective that the substitution or assumption of Options satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). The Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates shall treat the Substituted Vested Options and the Substituted Unvested Options for tax reporting and withholding purposes in accordance with the regulations and other applicable guidance under Section 409A of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of shares issued to Parent pursuant to this Section 8.3(b) exceed the number of shares equal to 19.9% of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement; provided , however , that if under any circumstance the Average Price multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 8.3(b) is less than $6,000,000, then the Company shall pay to Parent such difference in cash on the day of the issuance of the shares to Parent.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Company, prior to the receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Vote, receives an unsolicited, written Takeover Proposal made in circumstances not involving an intentional breach or knowing violation of Section 6.8, and the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of Cowen or another financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that such Takeover Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, then the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to enable it to fund the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(iv) in cash within 10 Business Days following the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, Section 8.1(h), it being understood that such reasonable best efforts shall include seeking and negotiating the terms of a financing from third parties, including financial institutions and the party making the Takeover Proposal (such financing may include the sale of securities of the Company or the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company) for purposes of funding the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to


A-35


Table of Contents

Section 8.3(b)(iv); provided , however , that no such financing shall (i) be consummated, (ii) impose any obligations whatsoever on the Company, or (iii) result in the payment (or obligation to pay) by the Company of any fees or expenses unless and until this Agreement is validly terminated by the Company pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, Section 8.1(h).
 
(d) The Company acknowledges that the agreement contained in Section 8.3(b) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without that agreement, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that in the event that Parent receives a Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b), the receipt by Parent of such amount shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for Parent and Merger Sub, and such amount shall constitute liquidated damages in respect of, any termination of this Agreement; provided , however , that nothing to the contrary in this Section 8.3(d) shall relieve any party from liability, or constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for, any intentional breach of this Agreement prior to a termination of this Agreement. If the Company fails to make payment of such fee within the applicable time period specified in Section 8.3(b) and Parent commences a suit to collect such fee, the Company shall indemnify and reimburse Parent for its fees and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit and shall pay interest on the amount of the payment at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date the fee was payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b).
 
SECTION 8.4. Amendment . This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by or on behalf of the respective Boards of Directors of the Company and Merger Sub and the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Parent at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after approval of this Agreement and the Transactions by the stockholders of the Company; provided , however , that after any such approval by the stockholders of the Company, no amendment shall be made that in any way materially adversely affects the rights of such stockholders (other than a termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof) without the further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
 
SECTION 8.5. Waiver . Any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived at any time prior to the Effective Time by any of the parties entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument signed by each such party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

PROMISSORY NOTE
 
May 12, 2008
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, IOMAI CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby promises to pay to the order of INTERCELL AG, a joint stock corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Austria (the “ Lender ”), in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made hereunder in accordance with Section 6.13 of the Merger Agreement (as defined below) by the Lender to the Company on or after the date hereof, in either case as such principal amount may be increased further due to the compounding of interest in accordance with Section 1(b) below, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in the amounts, at the times, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Promissory Note (this “ Note ”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 12, 2008 (the “ Merger Agreement ”), among the Lender, Zebra Merger Sub, Inc. and the Company. This Note is the Interim Note referred to in Section 6.13 of the Merger Agreement.
 
  1.  Payment; Principal and Interest.
 
(a) Principal Repayment.  The aggregate unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, immediately following the termination of the Merger Agreement by either the Lender or the Company for any reason (the “ Maturity Date ”).
 
(b) Interest Payments.  The Company promises to pay interest in lawful money of the United States of America on the sum of the daily outstanding principal amount of each Loan from the date hereof until payment in full, which interest shall be payable at the fixed rate of 10% per annum (the “ Interest Rate ”). Interest on each Loan shall be payable in cash at the Interest Rate to the Lender, quarterly in arrears, on December 31, March 31, June 30, and September 30 in each year (unless such day is not a Business Day, in which event on the next succeeding Business Day), with the first such payment becoming due and payable on December 31, 2008; provided , however , that the Company may, at its option, in lieu of a cash payment of interest, increase the principal amount of the Loan by the amount of such cash payment. Interest shall accrue in accordance with the preceding sentence on any such increased principal amount of such Loan. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. If the principal amount hereof is not paid in full when due and payable, interest at a rate of 12% per annum shall accrue on the balance of any unpaid principal (and, to the extent permitted by law, any overdue payment of interest); provided , however , that in no event shall the rate of interest hereunder exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state law.
 
(c) Limitations on Interest Rates.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Note to the contrary, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state interest rate laws. If any payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges made hereunder are held to be in excess of the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state law, the amount held to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal under this Note and the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable federal or state interest rate laws.
 
2. Place of Payments; No Setoff.  All amounts payable hereunder shall be made for the account of the Lender at such place as the Lender may designate to the Company in writing from time to time. Each payment hereunder, whether for principal, interest or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, defense, condition or reservation of right.
 
3. Prepayments.  This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty. Any such prepayment shall be applied first to the payment of expenses due under this Note, second to interest accrued on this Note and third, if the amount of prepayment exceeds the amount of all such expenses and accrued interest, to the payment of principal of this Note. A prepayment of less than all of the unpaid principal amount of this Note shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to make the scheduled payment of the balance of the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note on the Maturity Date. The Company shall notify the Lender in writing of its intention to prepay this Note at least five Business Days prior to any such prepayment. Once given, any such notice shall be irrevocable and the Company shall be bound to make the prepayment specified in such notice.

As of the date hereof, each Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number of shares (the “ Shares ”) of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the “ Company Common Stock ”), set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule I attached hereto (such Shares, together with any other shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by such Stockholder after the date hereof and during the term of this Agreement (including through the exercise of any stock options, warrants or any other convertible or exchangeable securities or similar instruments), being collectively referred to herein as such Stockholder’s “ Subject Shares ”).
 
As a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that (i) each Stockholder agree, and each Stockholder is willing to agree, to the matters set forth herein and (ii) each Stockholder that is party to the Exchange Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “ Exchange Agreement ”), among Parent and such Stockholders, agree, and each such Stockholder is willing to agree, to exchange such Stockholder’s Subject Shares for shares of common stock of Parent pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Agreement.
 
In consideration of the foregoing and the agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
Section 1. Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.
 
Section 2. Voting of Shares.
 
(a)  Voting . Until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder hereby agrees (severally with respect to itself and not jointly) to vote (or cause to be voted) all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, at every annual, special or other meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof, or pursuant to any consent in lieu of a meeting or otherwise:
 
(i) in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Transactions, and any actions required in furtherance thereof;
 
(ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation of the Company under the Merger Agreement; and

Each Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 2(b) is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Stockholder under this Agreement. Subject to this Section 2(b), this grant of proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked. Each Stockholder hereby ratifies and confirms all that such irrevocable proxy may lawfully do or cause to be done in accordance herewith. Such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(b)  Efforts . Each Stockholder agrees (severally with respect to itself and not jointly) not to take any action which would make any representation or warranty of such Stockholder herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of any time prior to the termination hereof or take any action that would have the effect of preventing or disabling it from performing its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to Section 3 hereof, until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder shall use such Stockholder’s reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably necessary or desirable to vote (or cause to be voted) all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares in accordance with Section 2(a) of this Agreement (including executing and delivering additional documents as Parent may request, at the cost and expense of Parent).

Introduction
 
Parent, Zebra Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“ Merger Sub ”), and Iomai Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), propose to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “ Merger Agreement ”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, and the Company will be the surviving entity (the “ Merger ”).
 
As of the date hereof, each Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number of shares (the “ Shares ”) of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the “ Company Common Stock ”), set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule I to this Agreement (such Shares, together with any other shares of capital stock of the Company acquired by such Stockholder after the date hereof and during the term of this Agreement (including through the exercise of any stock options, warrants or any other convertible or exchangeable securities or similar instruments), being collectively referred to herein as such Stockholder’s “ Subject Shares ”).
 
As a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that (i) each Stockholder agree, and each Stockholder is willing to agree, to exchange such Stockholder’s Subject Shares for either (A) shares of common stock with no par value ( Stückaktien ) and each share representing a pro rata amount of €1 of the aggregate nominal value of the common stock of Parent (the “ Parent Common Stock ”) immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger or (B) cash immediately following the Effective Time of the Merger, in each case pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (the “ Share Exchange ”), and (ii) each Stockholder that is party to the Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “ Voting Agreement ”), among Parent and such Stockholders, agrees, and each such Stockholder is willing to agree, to vote such Stockholder’s Subject Shares in favor of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions.
 
In furtherance of the Share Exchange, Parent intends to increase its share capital (the “ Capital Increase ”), by issuing the Exchange Shares to the Stockholders under exclusion of the statutory subscription rights of the shareholders of Parent.
 
In consideration of the foregoing and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE 1
DEFINED TERMS
 
SECTION 1.1.  Defined Terms . Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.
 
ARTICLE 2
SHARE EXCHANGE
 
SECTION 2.1.  Share Exchange . Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Stockholder shall, pursuant to a Contribution-in-Kind Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Contribution-in-Kind Agreement ”), exchange, assign, transfer and deliver all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares to Parent, or to any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent designated by Parent, at the Share Exchange Closing; and, in exchange therefor, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.6, Parent shall issue, exchange, sell and deliver to each Stockholder a number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) of Parent Common Stock (the “ Exchange Shares ”) equal to the product of (a) the number of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares and (b) the Exchange Ratio. As used in this Agreement, “ Exchange Ratio ” means $6.60 U.S. Dollars divided by the Fair Market Value. As used in this Agreement, “ Fair Market Value ” means the closing sale price for the Parent Common Stock on the Vienna Stock Exchange on the Share Exchange Closing Date, with such amount being converted to U.S. Dollars using the conversion rate from Euros to U.S. Dollars published in The Wall Street Journal on the Share Exchange Closing Date.

Board of Directors
Iomai Corporation
20 Firstfield Road
Gaithersburg, MD 20878
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the common stock of Iomai Corporation (the “Company”), other than Intercell AG (“Parent”) and its affiliates and the Exchange Shareholders (as defined below), of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be received by such stockholders pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, to be dated as of May 12, 2008 (the “Agreement”), by and among Parent, Zebra Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and the Company.
 
As more specifically set forth in the Agreement, and subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth in the Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Transaction”) and, pursuant to the Transaction, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Transaction (other than any shares held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and the Appraisal Shares (as defined in the Agreement)) shall be converted into the right to receive $6.60 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). We further understand that, in connection with the Transaction, certain holders of common stock of the Company will enter into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Parent pursuant to which such holders agree to exchange their shares of common stock of the Company for shares of common stock of Parent, subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Shareholders”).
 
Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”), as part of its investment banking business, is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes. In the ordinary course of our business, we and our affiliates actively trade the securities of the Company for our own account and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.
 
We have been engaged by the Company solely to render an opinion to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee from the Company for providing this opinion. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise out of our engagement. In the two years preceding the date of this Opinion, Cowen has served as placement agent to the Company and has received fees for the rendering of such services. Cowen and its affiliates also may in the future provide commercial and investment banking services to the Company and Parent and may receive fees for the rendering of such services.
 
In connection with our opinion, we have reviewed and considered such financial and other matters as we have deemed relevant, including, among other things:
 
  •   A draft of the Agreement received May 12, 2008, which is the most recent draft made available to Cowen;
 
  •   Certain publicly available financial and other information for the Company and certain other relevant financial and operating data furnished to Cowen by the Company management;
 
  •   Certain internal financial analyses, financial forecasts, reports and other information concerning the Company (the “Company Forecasts”) prepared by the management of the Company;
 
  •   Reuters estimates (“Reuters Estimates”) and financial projections in Wall Street analyst reports (“Wall Street Projections”) for the Company;
 
  •   Discussions we have had with certain members of the management of the Company concerning the historical and current business operations, financial conditions and prospects of the Company and such other matters we deemed relevant;
 
  •   The reported price and trading history of the shares of the common stock of the Company as compared to the reported price and trading histories of certain publicly traded companies we deemed relevant;
 
  •   Certain financial terms of the Transaction as compared to the financial terms of certain selected business combinations we deemed relevant;

  •   Based on the Company Forecasts and Wall Street Projections, the cash flows generated by the Company on a stand-alone basis to determine the present value of the discounted cash flows; and
 
  •   Such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and such other factors that we deemed relevant for the purposes of this opinion.
 
In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have, with your consent, assumed and relied, without independent investigation, upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information provided to us by the Company or which is publicly available or was otherwise reviewed by us. We have not undertaken any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of, or independently to verify, such information. We have relied upon, without independent verifications, the assessment of Company management as to the existing products and services of the Company and the validity of, and risks associated with, the future products and services of the Company. In addition, we have not conducted nor have assumed any obligation to conduct any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of the Company. We have further relied upon the assurance of management of the Company that they are unaware of any facts that would make the information provided to us incomplete or misleading in any respect. We have, with your consent, assumed that the Company Forecasts which we examined were reasonably prepared by the management of the Company on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of such management as to the future performance of the Company, and that such forecasts and the Wall Street Projections utilized in our analyses provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
We have not made or obtained any independent evaluations, valuations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of the Company or Parent, nor have we been furnished with such materials. Our opinion does not address, and we express no view with regard to, any legal matters. Our services to the Company in connection with the Transaction have been comprised solely of rendering an opinion from a financial point of view with respect to the Merger Consideration. We express no view as to any other aspect or implication of the Transaction or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the Transaction or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we do not express any view with respect to the Exchange Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Our opinion is necessarily based upon economic and market conditions and other circumstances as they exist and can be evaluated by us on the date hereof. It should be understood that, although subsequent developments may affect our opinion, we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm our opinion and we expressly disclaim any responsibility to do so. Additionally, we were not engaged to be involved in any determinations of the Board of Directors or the Company’s management to pursue strategic alternatives or in the negotiation of any of the terms of the Transaction, and we have not been authorized or requested to, and did not, solicit alternative offers for the Company or its assets, nor have we investigated any other alternative transactions that may be available to the Company.
 
For purposes of rendering our opinion we have assumed, in all respects material to our analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Agreement are true and correct, that each party will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under the Agreement and that all conditions to the consummation of the Transaction will be satisfied without waiver thereof. We have assumed that the final form of the Agreement will be substantially similar to the last draft reviewed by us. We have also assumed that all governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals contemplated by the Agreement will be obtained and that in the course of obtaining any of those consents no restrictions will be imposed or waivers made that would have an adverse effect on the contemplated benefits of the Transaction.
 
It is understood that this letter is intended for the benefit and use of the Board of Directors of the Company in its consideration of the Transaction and may not be used for any other purpose or reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to at any time, in any manner or for any purpose without our prior written consent. This letter does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote with respect to the Transaction or to take any other action in connection with the Transaction or otherwise. We have not been requested to opine as to, and our opinion does not in any manner address, the Company’s underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company. In addition, we have not been requested to opine as to, and our opinion does not in any manner address, the fairness of the amount or nature of compensation to any of the Company’s officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation to the public stockholders of the Company.
 
This Opinion was reviewed and approved by Cowen’s Fairness Opinion Review Committee.
 
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, including the various assumptions and limitations set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration in the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of the Company, other than Parent and its affiliates and the Exchange Shareholders.
 
Very truly yours,
/s/ Cowen and Company
COWEN AND COMPANY

SECTION 262 OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW
RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL
 
(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to Section 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.
 
(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to Section 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to Section 251(g) of this title), Section 252, Section 254, Section 257, Section 258, Section 263 or Section 264 of this title:
 
(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of Section 251 of this title.
 
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to Sections 251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:
 
a.  Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;
 
b.  Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;
 
c.  Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or
 
d.  Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b., and c. of this paragraph.
 
(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under Section 253 of this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.
 
(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:
 
(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsections (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or
 
(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to Section 228 or Section 253 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.
 
(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.
 
(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their


E-2


Table of Contents

shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.
 
(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.
 
(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceedings, the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for the good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgement shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgement. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.
 
(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.
 
(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.
 
(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.
 
(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.
