Santa Ana, Calif. and Ismaning, Germany, June 22, 2011 (euro adhoc) - Identive
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE) (Frankfurt: INV), a provider of products, services
and solutions for the security, identification and RFID industries, today
announced the appointment of David Holmes as vice president Mobility &  NFC
Solutions, effective July 1, 2011. In this newly created role, Holmes will be
responsible for coordinating Identive´s existing activities and pursuing
expanded solutions offerings in the areas of mobility and near field

Identive offers an array of NFC products including labels, smart tags and

integrated solutions incorporating NFC technology, such as idOnDemand`s
patent-pending NFC OTP applications.

Ayman S. Ashour, chairman and CEO of Identive Group stated, "Dave Holmes is one
of the pioneers in the NFC industry and has significant experience in pulling
together the components needed to create, deliver and manage contactless mobile
solutions. The timing is right for Identive to expand our focus on this exciting
space, and Dave is the ideal person to take on this new role. In addition to
driving NFC initiatives across our ID infrastructure offerings, Dave will be
pursuing new revenue generating opportunities with mobile solutions and
applications that leverage the breadth and depth of Identive´s IP and expertise
in NFC and other contactless technologies."

Since October 2008, Holmes has served as vice president and general manager,
Americas for Identive´s SCM Microsystems business unit, where he spearheaded the
expansion of SCM´s customer base, streamlined the organization and supported the
introduction of a new broad range of RFID contactless infrastructure products.
Prior to joining SCM, Holmes spent several years with NXP Semiconductors, a
global semiconductor company focused on the identification, mobile
communications and consumer electronics markets, where he served as the Americas
marketing and business development manager for NFC, contact and contactless
reader ICs, security ICs and contactless services. He led a team responsible for
developing and fostering an NFC ecosystem, focusing on hardware manufacturers,
software developers, system integrators and content and service providers.
Holmes also headed up NXP´s contactless services business in the Americas, which
included key management and secure application delivery systems. Previously,
Holmes held a variety of sales, marketing and engineering positions with Philips
Semiconductors, Vishay Intertechnology and Lucent Technologies. He holds an MBA
from Portland State University and a BS in Industrial Engineering from the
University of Nebraska.

Commented Holmes, "I am excited to take on the challenges of this new role at a
time when mobility and identity management are rapidly converging. NFC-enabled
smart phones and other mobile devices will soon be everywhere, driving the need

advertising to cashless payments. With our focus on addressing customers along
the value chain, Identive is in a unique position to benefit from the
opportunities arising from NFC technology and an increasingly mobile consumer
and business lifestyle."
