Subtitle: New ID card platform supports payment, integration to
additional school services and applications

DENVER, Colorado, June 14, 2012 (euro adhoc) - Multicard, a leading
supplier of credential solutions, identity management and system
integration services and a business unit of Identive Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ: INVE: Frankfurt: INV), announced today it is implementing a
new, secure identity card platform for the Auraria Higher Education
Center (AHEC) Campus in Denver, Colorado. The new contactless smart
cards initially will be utilized within the campus's existing door
access system; students with a campus bank account can also use the
IDs as a Visa® debit card. The new ID cards are based on open
standards technology, allowing them to be integrated with additional
applications for student services over time. Other applications
planned for the cards include parking, meal payment, library
check-out, event management and various tracking capabilities for lab
and recreational center use as well as emergency incidents.

The AHEC Campus is a unique educational site located in the heart of
the Denver Metro area, hosting three separate educational
institutions: the Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State
College of Denver and the University of Colorado-Denver. The campus
serves over 45,000 students, faculty and staff on an annual basis. A
number of shared services exist on the joint campus, including the
central issuance of institution-specific identity cards to all
students and faculty.

Multicard has provided the AHEC campus with card personalization
systems for a number of years to provide physical access to campus
facilities. "AHEC is pleased and satisfied with this upgrade; this
project would have been very difficult to implement without the
technical support provided to us by Multicard," said Shaqaiq Birashk
of AHEC's ID Cards Office.

AHEC contracted with Multicard to upgrade the existing campus
identification card system, so that they would have the option of
encoding contactless smart cards for use alongside their existing
magnetic stripe cards. Multicard began with developing secure
encryption key technology for AHEC to prevent hacking attempts, and
later upgraded the campus's existing printers to encode both smart
card stock and magnetic stripe card stock, allowing the campus to
migrate to chip-based ID cards over time.

"The Auraria campus is establishing best practices for campus
environments in terms of implementing a multi-function contactless
card," said Hugo Garcia, president of Multicard U.S. "By electing to
utilize standards-based smart cards, they are benefitting from the
highest level of encryption technology while avoiding the costs and
inflexibility associated with proprietary card platforms."
