Stock Activity


SANTA ANA, Calif. and ISMANING, Germany, June 7, 2012 (euro adhoc) - Identive
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a provider of products and services
for the identification, security and RFID industries, today provided details on
a series of recently-disclosed cost reduction measures to bolster the Company's
cash position and support its long-term growth strategy. These measures are
expected to result in savings of $4 million to $5 million in the remainder of
2012 and include an 11% reduction in the Company's global workforce,
acceleration of the elimination of duplicate expenses at newly acquired
companies, reductions in other general and administrative expenses, the
consolidation of facilities, as well as temporary reductions of nearly $0.5
million in executive and management salaries and Board fees. The Company expects
to incur charges of $0.7 million to $0.9 million in 2012 in connection with the
cost reduction program. 

"We believe our cost reduction program will enable us to preserve cash and reset
our ongoing expense run rate to a more sustainable level," stated Ayman S.
Ashour, chairman and chief executive officer of Identive. "This will not impact
our ongoing investments in new NFC and cloud-based identity solutions or our
ability to address opportunities in these emerging, potential hyper-growth
markets."

David Wear, Identive's executive vice president Finance, stated, "Fully
implementing these cost reductions will take some time; however we expect to
finish our current quarter with adequate cash resources and without the need to
utilize our existing debt facility. We are working diligently to remove any
concerns over our liquidity and to reinforce the strength of our financial
base."

Ashour added, "Particularly in light of the recent pressure on our stock price,
we believe that Identive's shares are significantly undervalued. We have
confidence in our long-term strategy to grow revenues and profits by investing
in emerging opportunities within the secure identification market and in our
ability to demonstrate performance improvements as these markets begin to ramp.
Our commitment to the Company and to supporting long-term shareholder value is
reflected in the recent voluntary salary reductions of our executive team and
others within the company and by the significant number of shares purchased by
insiders in recent weeks."
