Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 14, 2010, Multicard GmbH (“Multicard”), a business unit of Identive Group, Inc. (“Identive” or the “Company”), received official confirmation of a project award valued at more than EUR 4.4 million, or approximately US $5.6 million, for a user authentication solution to support Germany’s new electronic national ID program. Multicard will supply secure RFID-based contactless card readers for the project and will act as leading coordinator and project manager for their implementation. The contactless card readers used in the program as well as some customization services will be provided by SCM Microsystems, which is also a business unit of Identive.

The award to Multicard was made by Germany’s Federal Ministry of the Interior (“Bundesministerium des Innern”) and the project is to be completed over the next 18 months, through December 2011. Payments to Multicard will be made in three installments: 1) when the solution is certified as compliant with the program’s specifications by Germany’s Federal Office of Information Security, 2) when the first half of the units have been delivered to end users, and 3) when the second half of the units have been delivered to end users.

In addition to the award received by Multicard discussed above, three additional projects have been awarded under Germany’s national ID program to third parties that include the supply of SCM Microsystems contactless card readers, totaling approximately EUR 5.5 million, or approximately US $6.9 million. The total value of revenue for Identive associated with the German electronic ID program is expected to be approximately EUR 9.9 million, or approximately US $12.5 million, over the next 18 months.
