Identix Receives Follow-up Orders from U.S. Department of State for ABIS Facial Recognition Knowledge Discovery System and Related Biometric Technology; Orders Valued at Approximately $4,000,000

2005-11-14 10:51 ET - News Release

MINNETONKA, Minn. -- (Business Wire) -- Nov. 14, 2005
Company Website: http://www.identix.com

Identix Incorporated (Nasdaq:IDNX) announced today that
it has received orders valued at approximately $4 million from the
U.S. Department of State (DoS) to supply and integrate additional
biometric knowledge discovery engines (ABIS(TM)) into DoS` recently
launched visa processing programs. These orders, which include the
exercise of the first option year of the initial contract to Identix,
are part of DoS`s mandate to augment its automated fraud-detection
assistance capabilities through the use of facial recognition to
screen for duplicates, aliases and for faces on a watch list prior to
issuance of a visa. With more than 45 million facial images enrolled
to-date, it is believed that DoS is currently operating the world`s
largest facial recognition identity management program. In September
2004, Identix was selected after a competitive bidding process and
detailed technical evaluation as the sole recipient of the DoS`s
Facial Recognition System and Integration Support contract. Identix
expects to recognize the majority of the revenue from these orders
over the next 12 months.
In the first six months of the original terms of the contract,
Identix deployed three fully operational systems in support of the
Visa Office, including an ABIS system with more than 40 million
enrolled images and the e-Diversity Visa system. Within the first few
weeks of operation of the e-Diversity Visa system, DOS credited
Identix` ABIS with helping to identify more than 5,000 individuals
attempting to enter the U.S. under fraudulent conditions.
"These additional orders from DoS represent a solid stamp of
approval from the operators of the largest facial recognition system
in the world - with over 45 million images enrolled - and underscore
the confidence and success DoS continues to experienced with the
Identix ABIS-based identity management system," said Identix President
& CEO Dr. Joseph J. Atick. "The DoS visa program also continues to
provide an excellent example of the overall power of facial
recognition for identity management programs worldwide.
"We believe these follow-on orders are representative of the type
of recurring business Identix can hope to expect from large-scale
identity management contracts," Atick said. "Identity management
programs are based on information and the collection of ever
increasing amounts of data. The databases are constantly growing,
requiring additional enrollment and storage capacity, as well as
increased searching speed and functionality. We continue to believe
that this is an excellent business model for Identix. We are extremely
proud to provide leading-edge technology to DoS to help secure our
Nation and look forward to the opportunity to meet their future
biometrics requirements."

Wie hoch will den idnx heute noch steigen?
Soll man behalten oder verkaufen?
Hatte eigentlich gehofft IDNX würde
selbst Mitbewerber übernehmen.

[BrokerPK]

0,473 Viisage-Aktien werden dem Identix Aktionär angeboten...wenn ich mit dem vorbörslichen Kurs von 16,81 USD rechne und umrechen wäre das in EUR ein Kurs von 6,28 EUR

waerum greift niemnd zu 5,80 EUR Brief bei Identix dann zu ??

sind immerhin 10 %!!!

oder rechne ich falsch??

[BrokerPK]

bin gestern in Identix eingestiegen weil ich mir hier vom Squeeze Ou einiges erhoffe die nachbörsliche Taxe war schon über 5 % im plus nach einem Interview des Chairmans im US-TV nach Börsenschluß...in diversen Boards kursiert die Meinung das sowohl Viisage als auch Idnetix heute massiv nach oben gehen werden.

strategisch halte ich den Deal für einen klugen Schachzug in einem interessanten MAkrtbereich...was die Summen angeht ob das zu teuer od. günstig ist kann ich nicht beurteilen.

so long

BILLERICA, Mass. & MINNETONKA, Minn. -- (Business Wire) -- Jan. 12, 2006

Viisage Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: VISGD) and Identix
Incorporated (Nasdaq: IDNX):

-- Establishes the Industry`s Most Comprehensive Multi-Modal
Biometric Platform for Securing and Protecting Personal
Identities

-- Management Team to be Led by Robert V. LaPenta as Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer

-- Combined Pro Forma Calendar 2006 Estimated Revenue of $220
Million and EBITDA of at Least $40 Million

Identity solutions provider Viisage Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:
VISGD) and biometric technology innovator Identix Incorporated
(Nasdaq: IDNX) today announced they have entered into a definitive
agreement to merge in an all stock transaction. The combined company
will blend two complementary approaches to solving the challenge of
protecting and securing personal identities by establishing the
industry`s most comprehensive single platform for multi-modal finger,
face, skin and imaging identity solutions. The combination has been
approved by the respective boards of directors of each company.
The combined company, on a pro forma calendar 2006 basis, is
expected to have revenue of approximately $220 million and EBITDA of
at least $40 million, including synergies and operating efficiencies.
Under the terms of the transaction, Identix shareholders will
receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.473 newly issued shares of Viisage
stock for each share of Identix stock. The transaction is expected to
be tax-free to shareholders of both companies for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. Based on Viisage`s closing stock price of $17.69 on
January 11, 2006, the transaction is valued at approximately $770
million on a fully diluted basis.
Upon completion of the transaction, current Identix shareholders
will own approximately 59 percent of the combined company and current
Viisage shareholders will own approximately 41 percent of the combined
company. The combined company`s board of directors will consist of 12
directors, with seven of the members designated by Viisage and
affiliates and five designated by Identix. The headquarters of the
combined company will be in Stamford, Connecticut. In addition,
certain affiliates of both Viisage and Identix have agreed to vote
their shares in favor of the merger.
Following the close of the transaction, the company expects to
evaluate alternatives for repurchasing outstanding shares, including
the potential issuance of convertible debt.
"The combination of Identix` advanced multi-biometric search
technology with Viisage`s expertise in secure credentials, document
authentication and verification will create a global leader in
biometric security, providing end-to-end identity solutions for state,
local, national and foreign government use, as well as a wide
application across the commercial sector," said Robert V. LaPenta,
Chairman of the Board of Viisage. "With its proven technology,
strength of management and services, and marquee customer base, the
combined entity has the ability to achieve significant revenue growth
and profitability."
Upon completion of the merger, Mr. LaPenta, Viisage`s Chairman,
will become Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the combined
company. Mr. LaPenta is the Chairman, CEO and founder of L-1
Investment Partners, Chairman of the Board of Viisage, and former
President, Chief Financial Officer and co-founder of L-3
Communications. Dr. Joseph J. Atick, currently Chief Executive Officer
of Identix, will become Vice Chairman of the combined company`s Board
of Directors and Chief Strategic Officer.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for the new company`s
shareholders, employees and customers and will create a formidable
combination in the identity solution / management and biometrics
sector," said Dr. Joseph J. Atick, CEO of Identix.

Unlocking the Potential of Strong Synergies

Driven by a combined global sales force, the merger unlocks the
potential of both organization`s strengths in biometrics,
credentialing and imaging solutions and offers many natural synergies.
For example, Viisage and Identix each have current customer
relationships today with the Department of State, with Identix
providing biometric facial recognition products for the U.S. VISA
program and Viisage acting as the sole source provider for U.S.
passports.
The combined technologies are uniquely suited to support multiple
identity programs including visa and passport issuance, border control
and security, voting program integrity, secure logical access for
enterprise and government, and the myriad of government-related access
card requirements. In addition, the new company also can successfully
meet rigorous government mandates including HSPD12, TWIC, WHTI, US-
VISIT, Registered Traveler, HAZMAT, Real ID and ePassport, among
others.
The merger positions the new company as a market leader in the
biometrics sector. The combined capabilities allow the new company to
effectively compete for approximately 80 percent of a market
opportunity projected by Frost & Sullivan to reach $3.5 billion by
2008*.
The transaction is expected to close in the second calendar
quarter of 2006 and is subject to customary regulatory approvals and
other closing conditions, including approval by Viisage and Identix
shareholders at their respective stockholder meetings.
Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. is serving as financial advisor to
Viisage, while USBX Advisory Services LLC provided a fairness opinion
to the Viisage Board. Janney Montgomery Scott LLC is serving as
financial advisor to Identix and has provided a fairness opinion to
the Identix Board.
