Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a provider of products,
services and solutions for the identification, security and RFID industries,
today announced that effective April 1, 2012, Dr. Manfred Mueller will assume
the position of Executive Vice-President and COO, Identification Products, with

"Manfred`s leadership of our ID Infrastructure division over the past two years
has resulted in the successful turnaround of this business, with innovative new
product releases, strong sales growth in Asia/Pacific and Europe, improved
margins and the division´s move towards profitability," said Ayman S. Ashour,
chairman and CEO of Identive. "Bringing our fast-growing Transponder business
together with ID Infrastructure under Manfred´s leadership will allow us to
leverage the global structure of our reader operations and to align our RFID and
reader offerings to address common market opportunities, in particular NFC and
converged physical and logical access." 

As COO for Identification Products, Mueller will work to drive the sales growth
of the Company´s NFC tags and readers, which enable the market´s increasing
array of NFC-enabled phones to perform transactions, download information or
launch applications. He will also oversee the Company´s recently announced
initiatives to build on its strong base of network access and Software as a
Service (SaaS) technologies to address the rapidly growing market for converged
access products.

"RFID and reader technologies are at the very heart of electronic ID
applications and Identive´s market-leading products provide our partners and
OEMs with important building blocks for the identity ecosystem. I am excited to
take on this next challenge in my career and look forward to further expanding
Identive´s role in the identity markets," said Mueller.

Over the past eleven years, Dr. Manfred Mueller has served in a variety of
management roles at Identive, with a primary focus on sales, marketing and
operations for the Company´s ID Infrastructure division. He holds a Master's
