Press release from Fingerprint Cards AB’s (publ) Extraordinary General Meeting of September 5, 2012


The Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Fingerprint Cards AB (publ) (the
“Company”) has approved a private placement of share warrants and has resolved
to approve the transfer of share warrants, etcetera.

A.    Issue of share warrants
The EGM in the Company has resolved that the Company shall issue a maximum of
4 818 000 share warrants.

The right to subscribe for the share warrants shall, disapplying the
shareholders’ preferential rights, be allotted to Fingerprint Security System
Databärare AB (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Subscription must be completed no later than September 6, 2012. The share
warrants will be issued without consideration. The Subsidiary shall transfer the
share warrants according to what is stated in “Transfer of share warrants”
below. The Subsidiary has subscribed for 4 818 000 share warrants.

Each share warrant entitles its holder to subscribe for one new class B share in
the Company. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the share warrants,
subscription may occur as of September 6, 2015 up to and including October 6,
2015. The subscription price will correspond to 250 percent of the quoted volume
-weighted average purchase price for class B shares in the Company on NASDAQ OMX
Stockholm from August 22, 2012 up to and including September 4, 2012. The
subscription price has been set at SEK 9.72. The increase in the Company’s share
capital upon full exercise of the share warrants will amount to SEK 963,600,
corresponding to dilution of approximately 8,8 percent of the total number of
shares in the Company and approximately 7,3 percent of the total number of votes
in the Company.

The reason for disapplying the shareholders’ preferential right is to enable the
employees, by investing themselves, to participate in and work for a positive
value trend of the Company’s share during the entire period covered by the
proposed program, as well as to enable the Company to recruit competent and
committed personnel.

B.    Transfer of share warrants
The EGM has resolved to approve the Subsidiary’s transfer of share warrants on
the following terms and conditions.

The right to acquire share warrants from the Subsidiary shall accrue solely to
the CEO, Other senior executives and Other employees of the Fingerprint Cards
Group who at the end of the application period have not been notified of
termination of employment, or resigned. Allotment is conditional upon it being
possible to legally implement the acquisition of share warrants and that, in the
opinion of the Board of Directors, this can be done using reasonable
administrative and financial resources. Application for acquisition of share
warrants can be made as from August 22, 2012 up to and including September 4,
2012, and in lots corresponding to either the highest number of share warrants
offered or reduced by lots of 1,000 share warrants.

Allotment shall be made in full lots of share warrants and to the full number
the person with acquisition rights has applied for, unless a reduction is made
due to the number of applications exceeding the number of issued share warrants.
The allotment shall have the following categorization: the CEO, Other senior
executive and Other employees. The highest number of share warrants accruing to
any person in the respective categories is 2 308 000 to the CEO, 2 000 000 to
Other senior executives, 300 000 to Other employees (group C) and 210 000 to
Other employees (group D).

The share warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price established
on the basis of a market value calculated by the independent valuation institute
PwC using the Black & Scholes valuation model. The transfer price has been set
at SEK 0.15. The share warrants not acquired by those entitled to make the
acquisition shall be retained in the Subsidiary until further notice, so that
they can be offered to other newly recruited future employees on market terms
pursuant to instructions from the Board of Directors of the Company and in
accordance with the principles stated above.

Participants in the warrant program will acquire the share warrants at market
value. This entails that the program will not involve any personnel expenses
pursuant to IFRS 2.

C.    Cancellation

The EGM decided to cancel the warrants from previous schemes held by the Group.
105,000 warrants in the warrant program 2010:2 (TO2) and 240,000 warrants in the
warrant program 2011/2014 (TO3).

D.    Assignment and authorization

The EGM authorized the Board of Directors of the Company to execute the
resolution according to item A above and to ensure the Board of Directors of the
Subsidiary executes the transfer of warrants according to item B above.
The EGM authorized the Board to make minor adjustments to the EGM’s resolution
that may prove necessary in conjunction with registration of the warrants at the
Swedish Companies Registration Office and with Euroclear Sweden AB.

E.   Resolution in the Subsidiary

The General Meeting of Shareholders of the Subsidiary has approved the transfer
in accordance with item B above.
