Fingerprint Cards (FPC) is expanding its Advisory Board (AB) and is appointing Göran Malm and Tord Wingren as Senior Advisors, as well as members of the Fingerprint Cards Advisory Board.

Göran Malm, who is currently an investor, consultant and member of the Board of several companies, has a background as President Asia-Pacific with both General Electric (GE) and Dell Computer. Göran Malm was also a member of Samsung’s Principal Board for nine years, most of this time as the only non-Korean member.

In addition to 27 years in operational assignments, Tord Wingren served and still serves on the Boards and Advisory Boards of a number of technology companies, as well as the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, SSF. 

Göran Malm and Tord Wingren will succeed Peter Svensson and Mats Lindoff on the FPC Advisory Board, which will thus comprise Jörgen Lantto, Göran Malm and Tord Wingren. Jörgen Lantto is responsible for Ecosystems for Mobile Semiconductors and devices at Ericsson, having just returned to Ericsson from ST-Ericsson where he was Executive Vice President, CTO and Strategic Planning. FPC would also like to take this opportunity to thank Peter Svensson and Mats Lindoff for their meritorious contributions.

Press release from Fingerprint Cards AB’s (publ) Extraordinary General Meeting of November 17, 2011

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 2,000,000 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 November 18, 2011. 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 2,000,000 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 November 18, 2014 up to and including December 18, 2014. The subscription price will correspond to 200 percent of the quoted volume-weighted average purchase price for class B shares in the Company on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm from November 3, 2011 up to and including November 16, 2011. The subscription price has been set at SEK 13,64. The increase in the Company’s share capital upon full exercise of the share warrants will amount to SEK 400,000, corresponding to dilution of approximately 4.00 percent of the total number of shares in the Company and approximately 3.29 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, Other employees and Future key personnel recruitment(s) 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 November 3, 2011 up to and including November 18, 2011, 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, Other employees and Future key personnel recruitment(s). The highest number of share warrants accruing to any person in the respective categories is 500,000 to the CEO, 100,000 to Other senior executives, 40,000 to Other employees and 1,000,000 to Future key personnel recruitment(s).

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 0,41. 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.

C. 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.

D. Resolution in the Subsidiary

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

Business at the General Meeting

Proposal for Agenda

1. Opening of the General Meeting;

2. Election of Chairman at the General Meeting;

3. Preparation and approval of voting list;

4. Approval of the agenda;

5. Election of two persons to approve the minutes;

6. Determination of whether the General Meeting has been duly convened;

7. Resolution on issue of share warrants and resolution on approval of transfer of share warrants, etcetera;

Item 7 - The Board of Directors’ proposal for resolution on issue of share warrants and approval of transfer of share warrants, etcetera

Shareholders jointly representing approximately 37 percent of the votes and 21 percent of the capital in the Company have declared that they support the Board of Directors’ proposal for resolution on issue of share warrants under this Item. The proposal is essentially the following.

1. The Board of Directors proposes that the Company shall issue a maximum of 2,000,000 share warrants. The right to subscribe for the share warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right, be allotted to Fingerprint Security System Databärare AB, reg. no 556239-5938 (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subscription must be completed no later than November 18, 2011. The share warrants will be issued without consideration. The Subsidiary shall transfer the share warrants according to what is stated in Item B below.

Each share warrant entitles its holder to subscribe for one new class B share in the Company. Subscription of shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the share warrants may be made as from November 18, 2014 up to and including December 18, 2014. The subscription price will correspond to 200 percent of the quoted volume-weighted average purchase price for class B shares in the Company on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm from November 3, 2011 up to and including November 16, 2011. The increase in the Company’s share capital upon full exercise of the share warrants will amount to SEK 400,000, and corresponds to a dilution of approximately 4.00 percent of the total number of shares in the Company and approximately 3.29 percent of the total number of votes in the Company (considering the shares that can be issued upon full exercise of the previously issued share warrants and the share warrants which may be issued in accordance with this proposal for resolution).

The reason for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is that the employees, by investing themselves, shall partake of 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.

2. The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting approves the Subsidiary’s transfer of share warrants on the following terms and conditions.

The following four categories shall be entitled to acquire share warrants from the Subsidiary (the highest number of share warrants any person in the respective categories can be allotted is stated in parentheses): the CEO (500,000), Other senior executives (100,000), Other employees (40,000), and Future key personnel recruitment(s) (1,000,000). The right to acquire share warrants from the Subsidiary shall only be given persons 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 this according to the assessment of the Board of Directors can be done using reasonable administrative and financial resources. Application for acquisition of share warrants can be made as from November 3, 2011 up to and including November 18, 2011, 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 the right to acquire has applied for, if not a reduction is made due to the number of applications exceeding the number of issued share warrants.

The share warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price established on the basis of a market value calculated by an independent valuation institute using the Black & Scholes valuation model. The share warrants not acquired by those entitled to make the acquisition as described above, shall be retained in the Subsidiary until further notice, so that they can be offered other future recruitments on market terms pursuant to instructions from the Board of Directors of the Company. In such transfer, the principles stated above shall apply correspondingly.

3. The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting authorizes the Company’s Board of Directors to implement the issue resolution in accordance with Item A above and to ensure that the Subsidiary’s Board of Directors implements the transfer of the share warrants in accordance with Item B above. It is further proposed that the Board of Directors is authorized to make such minor adjustments to the General Meeting’s resolution which may prove necessary in connection with registration of the share warrants with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and affiliation of the share warrants with Euroclear Sweden AB.

Majority requirement, etcetera

For a resolution in accordance with Item 7 to be valid, the resolution must be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of the votes cast and the shares represented at the General Meeting. A General Meeting in the Subsidiary must also approve the resolution on transfer in accordance with Item 7 B above.

Documentation, etcetera

Complete proposals for the resolution and documentation in accordance with Chapter 14, Section 8 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)) will be available at the Company’s office and on the Company’s website, www.fingerprint.se, no later than from October 27, 2011. Copies of this documentation will automatically be sent to shareholders who have registered for the General Meeting and who have provided their postal address.

Disclosures at the Meeting

If any shareholder so requests and the Board of Directors deems that it can be done without causing material harm to the Company, the Board of Directors and the CEO shall provide disclosures about circumstances that may affect the assessment of (i) an item on the agenda, or (ii) the Company’s relationship to another group company.

Fingerprint Cards wins order in China valued at SEK 20 M

Fingerprint Cards AB's (FPC) Chinese distributor Hardware & Software Technologies Co. Ltd (HST), has placed an additional order valued at more than SEK 20 M to expand its market segment Personal identification via internet banking. The order pertains to FPC's area sensor FPC1011F and deliveries will take place during 2011 and into 2012.

The sensors, which are to be integrated into identification units, will be delivered to one of China’s largest banks. The bank expands its market into an additional region by supplying units to customers using the bank services via internet as well as to the bank’s employees. The decision to launch biometric units in one additional region creates a large market opportunity since only a few regions have started to implement biometric units for their customers.

Johan Carlström, CEO of FPC comments: “It is with great satisfaction we see that another Chinese region will implement biometric solutions all the way out to the end customers, which opens great opportunities to reach more regions over the coming years. FPC has jointly with HST since several years invested in strong relations with the leading suppliers within the Chinese banking sector, which is confirmed by today's order. We are currently seeing a strong demand for our solutions from the Chinese banking industry that we expect will continue to grow over the coming years”

Fingerprint Cards completes private placement of SEK 28 M

Fingerprint Cards (FPC) discloses that the company has today implemented a private placement of 3,940,000 new Class B shares, corresponding to about 9.9% of the number of shares outstanding in the company. The new share issue provides the company with SEK 28 M before deductions for issue expenses.

The private placement was targeted at a few institutional investors in Sweden and internationally at a price of SEK 7.00 per share. The proceeds from the private placement will facilitate accelerated expansion and development of the company, its market and products.

To implement the share issue, the Board of Directors of Fingerprint Cards AB (publ) decided, pursuant to authorization granted by the 2010 Annual General Meeting, on a private placement of 3,940,000 new Class B shares, disapplying the shareholders’ preferential rights. The subscription price of the private placement corresponded to a discount of approx. 7.5% compared with the 10-day volume-weighted average share price. As a result of the share issue, the number of shares in the company will increase by 3,940,000 Class B shares from 39,669,586 shares to a total of 43,609,586 shares and share capital will increase by SEK 788,000 from SEK 7,933,917 to SEK 8,721,917.

“We are delighted at the interest shown by institutional investors, both in Sweden and internationally, and welcome them on board as shareholders. This successful transaction enhances FPC’s financial position and facilitates faster product development in the rapidly growing market for fingerprint sensors, as well as software development aimed at supporting a handful of different mobile operating systems. The interest aroused by our line sensors in the past quarter has strengthened our opinion that the integration of fingerprint sensors in mobile phones for personal verification, navigation and safe payment is heading for a global breakthrough.”

The information was issued for publication on February 25, 2011, at 8:00 a.m.

FPC has opened another Asian regional office, now in Taipei, Taiwan, and has employed James Wei, 47, as Regional Director North Asia.

As part of FPC’s focus on the mobile market, the key global markets include Taiwan, China and Korea. Accordingly, FPC has elected to open a regional office in Taiwan, to serve as a center for technological development in mobile telephony and as a hub for technological advancement for most of the major global electronics companies. James Wei is based in the newly opened office and will, in addition to his pursuits in the mobile sector, also provide support to FPC’s existing distributors, primarily in Taiwan, China and Korea.

James Wei has a solid background in telecommunications and IT, and has worked with sales through partners and directly for OEM customers. He worked most recently for Opera Software – one of the world’s leading browser companies – where he was Senior VP and President of Asia Pacific. Prior to this, he was President of Teleca Taiwan – one of the world’s leading system integrators of mobile-phone software. Before Teleca, James Wei held executive positions at Openwave, HelloAsia and iAsiaworks.

“Opening an office in Taiwan and employing James Wei enables us to further strengthen our position in the crucial Asian mobile-phone market. The recruitment will also reinforce our existing market positions since James will also provide support to our already strong regional distributors in their sales efforts,” says FPC’s President and CEO Johan Carlström.

Fingerprint Cards (FPC) launches the world’s smallest and most power-efficient fingerprint sensor optimized for mobile phones


Fingerprint Cards is today launching the world’s smallest and most power-efficient fingerprint sensor optimized for mobile phones. The line sensor, designated the FPC1080A, is extremely small, has uniquely low power consumption and offers world-leading image quality with a resolution of 508 dpi. The FPC1080A combines FPC’s well-known quality with ease of integration, making it the ideal sensor for high-volume devices such as mobile phones, laptops, smart cards and USB keys.

The FPC1080A has integrated hardware support for finger navigation, which enables the sensor to be used as a navigation unit thus replacing joysticks or other similar navigation systems.

Work on design and development is proceeding according to schedule, and volume deliveries of the FPC1080A are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2011.

Johan Carlström, CEO of Fingerprint Cards comments: “We are proud to present the world’s smallest and most power-efficient fingerprint sensor for mobile phones. The sensor, which is designed primarily for integration in mobile phones, will also be ideal for other high-volume devices such as laptops and tablet devices, as well as in applications for which power consumption is a critical parameter, such as smart cards and other battery-powered devices. Our objective is to sign cooperation agreements and to secure ‘design wins’ in the coming year.”

This is an English translation of the Swedish original. In case of discrepancies, the Swedish original shall prevail.

The Board of directors of fingerprint cards AB (publ) proposes to resolve on a issue of share warrants and approval of a transfer of share warrants, etc. and has decided to cancel part of outstanding share warrants 2010/2012

A.   Proposal for a resolution on a directed issue of share warrants

The Board proposes that a General Meeting in Fingerprint Cards AB (publ) (the “Company”) issues a maximum of 958,000 share warrants in accordance with the following main terms and conditions. The right to subscribe for share warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right, be allotted to Fingerprint Security System Databärare AB, Corp. Reg. No. 556239-5938 (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subscription must be completed not later than November 10, 2010. The share warrants will be issued without charge. The Subsidiary shall transfer the share warrants according to the terms stated in section B below.

Each share warrant provides entitlement to subscribe for one new Class B share in the Company. Subscription for shares in accordance with the terms and conditions for share warrants may occur in the period commencing February 9, 2013 through May 11, 2013. The subscription price shall total an amount corresponding to 175 per cent of the noted volume-weighted average purchase price for Class B shares in the Company on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the period commencing October 26, 2010 through November 8, 2010. The increase in the Company’s share capital on full exercise of the share warrants will amount to not more than SEK 191,600, which corresponds to a dilution of approx. 2.17 per cent of the total number of shares in the Company and approx. 1.75 per cent of the total number of votes in the Company.

The reason for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is that the employees, by investing themselves, shall partake of and work for a positive value trend for the Company’s share during the entire period comprised by the proposed program.

B.   Proposal for a resolution on the approval of transfer of share warrants

The Board proposes that the General Meeting approves the Subsidiary’s transfer of share warrants on the following main terms and conditions.

The right to acquire share warrants from the Subsidiary will be allotted to the CEO, other executives, senior employees and other employees of the Fingerprint Cards Group in Sweden, who have not resigned or been notified of termination of employment at the end of the registration period. Allotment is conditional upon it being possible to legally implement the acquisition of share warrants and that this can be done using reasonable administrative and financial resources according to the Board’s assessment. Application for acquisition of share warrants shall be made in the period commencing October 26, 2010 through November 10, 2010 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 in the number for which the person entitled to make the acquisition has applied, unless a reduction is made because the number of applications exceeds the number of share warrants issued. Allotment can be made to the following four categories: CEO, Other Executives, Senior Employees and Other Employees. The highest number of share warrants per employee in each category is 300,000 share warrants for the CEO, 250,000 share warrants for Other Executives, 40,000 share warrants for Senior Employees and 20,000 share warrants for Other Employees.

The share warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price established on the basis of a calculated market value for the share warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model as calculated by an independent valuation institute. The share warrants not acquired by those entitled to make the acquisition as described above shall be retained until further notice in the Subsidiary to enable them to be offered to current and future employees on market terms in accordance with instructions from the Board of the Company. In case of such transfer, the above principles shall apply correspondingly.

C.   Extraordinary General Meeting

The Board of Directors has resolved to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting on November 9, 2010 in accordance with a separate notification.

D.   The Board of Directors has resolved to cancel part of outstanding share warrants 2010/2012

The Company has issued 3,925,000 share warrants 2010/2012, which were registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office on March 5, 2010. The Subsidiary holds 512,000 share warrants. The remaining share warrants have been transferred by the Subsidiary to inter alia employees of the Company. 20,000 share warrants held by the Subsidiary shall be transferred to a new employee of the Company.

The Board of Directors has resolved to cancel 492,000 share warrants held by the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary has given its consent to such cancellation.

After such cancellation, the number of share warrants will amount to 3,433,000 share warrants. The subscription price is SEK 7.48 per share. On full exercise of the share warrants, 3,433,000 new Class B shares will be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approx. 7.79 per cent of the total number of shares and approx. 6.26 per cent of the total number of votes in the Company, calculated after dilution of the proposed program under A. above. Last day for subscribing shares by the exercise of these shares warrants is August 31, 2012.

The nomination committee, after having consulted the main shareholder of the Company, the consortium Solrosen, representing approx. 24 per cent of the votes in the Company, proposes to elect Mats Svensson as a new regular Board member.

A detailed description of the proposed member is available on the Company’s website www.fingerprints.com.

Item 9 – Determination of remuneration of Board of Directors

The nomination committee, after having consulted the main shareholder of the Company, the consortium Solrosen, representing approx. 24 per cent of the votes in the Company, proposes, in addition to what was decided at the annual general meeting held at June 17, 2010, that SEK 60 000 is set as the remuneration to Mats Svensson until the end of the next annual general meeting, being an estimated proportionate part of SEK 100,000 in relation to his term. The total remuneration to the Board will then be SEK 630,000.

Item 10 - The Board of Directors’ proposal for a resolution on the issue of share warrants and approval of the transfer of share warrants, etc.

Shareholders jointly representing approx. 44 per cent of the number of votes and 28 per cent of the capital in the Company have declared that they support the Board’s proposal for a resolution on the issue of share warrants under this Item. The proposal essentially involves the following.

A.   The Board proposes that the Company issues a maximum of 958,000 share warrants. The right to subscribe for share warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right, be allotted to Fingerprint Security System Databärare AB, Corp. Reg. No. 556239-5938 (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subscription must be completed not later than November 10, 2010. The share warrants will be issued without charge. The Subsidiary shall transfer the share warrants according to the terms stated in Item B below.

Each share warrant provides entitlement to subscribe for one new Class B share in the Company. Subscription for shares in accordance with the terms and conditions for share warrants may occur in the period commencing February 9, 2013 through May 11, 2013. The subscription price shall total an amount corresponding to 175 per cent of the noted volume-weighted average purchase price for Class B shares in the Company on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the period commencing October 26, 2010 through November 8, 2010. The increase in the Company’s share capital on full exercise of the share warrants will amount to not more than SEK 191,600, which corresponds to a dilution of approx. 2.17 per cent of the total number of shares in the Company and approx. 1.75 per cent of the total number of votes in the Company.

The reason for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is that the employees, by investing themselves, shall partake of and work for a positive value trend for the Company’s share during the entire period comprised by the proposed program.

B.   The Board proposes that the General Meeting approves the Subsidiary’s transfer of share warrants on the following terms and conditions.

The right to acquire share warrants from the Subsidiary will be allotted to the CEO, other executives, senior employees and other employees of the Fingerprint Cards Group in Sweden, who have not resigned or been notified of termination of employment at the end of the registration period. Allotment is conditional upon it being possible to legally implement the acquisition of share warrants and that this can be done using reasonable administrative and financial resources according to the Board’s assessment. Application for acquisition of share warrants shall be made in the period commencing October 26, 2010 through November 10, 2010 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 in the number for which the person entitled to make the acquisition has applied, unless a reduction is made because the number of applications exceeds the number of share warrants issued. Allotment can be made to the following four categories: CEO, Other Executives, Senior Employees and Other Employees. The highest number of share warrants per employee in each category is 300,000 share warrants for the CEO, 250,000 share warrants for Other Executives, 40,000 share warrants for Senior Employees and 20,000 share warrants for Other Employees.

The share warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price established on the basis of a calculated market value for the share warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model as calculated by an independent valuation institute. The share warrants not acquired by those entitled to make the acquisition as described above shall be retained until further notice in the Subsidiary to enable them to be offered to current and future employees on market terms in accordance with instructions from the Board of the Company. In case of such transfer, the above principles shall apply correspondingly.

C.   The Board proposes that the General Meeting assigns the Board of the Company to implement the issue resolution in accordance with Item A above and ensure that the Board of the Subsidiary implements the sale of the share warrants in accordance with Item B above. It is further proposed that the Board is authorized to make minor adjustments to the General Meeting’s resolution that may prove necessary in conjunction with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and affiliation of the share warrants with Euroclear Sweden AB.

Majority requirement

For a valid resolution in accordance with Item 10, the resolution must be supported by shareholders with not less than nine-tenths of the votes cast and the shares represented at the General Meeting. The General Meeting of the Subsidiary must also approve the resolution on transfer in accordance with Item 10B above.

Documentation, etc.

Complete proposals for the resolution and documentation in accordance with Ch. 14 Section 8 of the Companies Act will be available at the Company’s office and on the Company’s website, www.fingerprints.com, not later than as of October 26, 2010. Copies of this documentation will be automatically sent to shareholders who have registered for the Meeting and who have provided their postal address.

Fingerprint Cards (FPC) opens Asian office in Shanghai and appoints Steven Tynan as Regional Director APAC (Asia-Pacific)

FPC is to open a regional office for Asia in Shanghai, China, and has appointed Steven Tynan, 47, as Regional Director APAC, effective today. Asia, and particularly China, is currently FPC’s principal market and, consequently, FPC has chosen to open a regional office in Shanghai, the city in which a majority of western technology companies have elected to locate their China and regional offices. “China accounts for the largest portion of FPC’s sales and we expect continued strong growth in the country and the region in 2010 and 2011. To facilitate this development, we are now opening an office in the region”, says FPC’s President Johan Carlström.

Steven Tynan, who has ten years of experience in sales and business development from TDC, will be joining us from Precise Biometrics, where he was Regional Manager for Asia and stationed in Hong Kong since 2007.

“We’re delighted to have succeeded in recruiting Steven Tynan to FPC and I am convinced that Steven is the right person to further develop the market successes we have experienced in Asia and China, in particular, in recent years,” comments President Johan Carlström.

Delay and uncertainty concerning a bank project in China results in reduced forecast for the second quarter and full-year 2010

 Fingerprint Card AB (publ) (FPC) forecast in its interim report for January-March 2010 that sales would increase during the second quarter compared with the first quarter of 2010. FPC also forecast a sales increase of 75-100% for full-year 2010. A project that is of importance to FPC has now been delayed and uncertainty concerning implementation of the project has increased. This means that FPC will probably not achieve its forecast targets for the second quarter or for 2010 as a whole.

The new forecast for the second quarter is that sales will probably increase 30-40% compared with the second quarter of 2009. For full-year 2010, it is forecast that sales will increase 40-60% compared with 2009. The previously issued forecast that the gross margin for 2010 will be higher than in 2009 stands firm.

In connection with a review of FPC’s principal market, China, which was implemented jointly by FPC and its distributor, HST, it became apparent that one of the major banks in China had postponed a project and that uncertainty concerning the implementation of the project had increased.

“The forecasts issued by Fingerprint Cards are a balanced summary of all of our customers’ forecasts and of orders placed. If these forecasts are changed significantly, we inform the market and issue updated information as soon as we see a change. Since we have now received new information concerning uncertainty and delays in respect of a major project, we must unfortunately correct our previously issued forecast. It is important to point out that it is an individual order that has led to our adjusting the forecast. We still foresee a favorable market trend in China, as well as other Asian markets, and that FPC will continue to develop well during the remainder of 2010,” comments President and CEO Johan Carlström.

Fingerprint Cards receives pilot order from South Korea

Fingerprint Cards’ distributor in South Korea, Camos Tech Co., Ltd. (CamosTech) has placed an order worth in excess of SEK 1.3 million for an identification solution with integrated fingerprint technology for disabled persons. The order concerns the Company’s fingerprint sensor FPC1011F, with delivery scheduled for March, 2010.

Announcement from the Extraordinary General Meeting in Fingerprint Cards AB held on March 3, 2010

The Extraordinary General Meeting in Fingerprint Cards AB (publ) (the “Company”) has approved the Board of Directors’ resolution on a directed issue of share warrants and adopted the Board of Directors’ proposed resolution on approval of transfer of share warrants, etc.

A. Issue of share warrants

The Extraordinary General Meeting in the Company has approved the Board of Directors’ resolution that the Company issue a maximum of 3,925,000 share warrants.

The right to subscribe for share warrants shall, with deviation from 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 not later than February 19, 2010. The share warrants will be issued without charge. The Subsidiary shall transfer the share warrants according to the terms stated under “Transfer of share warrants” below. The Subsidiary has subscribed for 3,925,000 share warrants.

Each share warrant provides entitlement to subscribe for one new Class B share in the Company. Subscription for shares in accordance with the terms and conditions for share warrants may occur in the period commencing June 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012. The subscription price shall total an amount corresponding to 200 percent of the recorded volume-weighted average purchase price for Class B shares in the Company on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the period commencing February 16, 2010 through February 26, 2010. The subscription price has been fixed to SEK 7.48. The increase in the Company’s share capital on full exercise of the share warrants will amount to not more than SEK 785,000, which corresponds to dilution of approximately 9.0 percent of the total number of shares in the Company and approximately 7.2 percent of the total number of votes in the Company.

The reasons for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is that the employees, by investing themselves, shall partake of and work for a positive value trend for the Company’s shares during the entire period comprised by the proposed program.


B. Transfer of share warrants

The Extraordinary General Meeting has approved of the Board of Directors’ proposed resolution on the Subsidiary’s transfer of share warrants on the following terms and conditions.

The right to acquire share warrants from the Subsidiary will be allotted to all employees of the Fingerprint Cards Group in Sweden, who have not resigned or been notified of termination of employment at the end of the registration period. Allotment is conditional upon it being possible to legally implement the acquisition of share warrants and that the General Meeting has approved the resolution by the Board of Directors according to the above, and that this can be done using reasonable administrative and financial resources according to the Board’s assessment. Registration for the acquisition of share warrants shall occur in the period commencing February 16, 2010 until March 1, 2010 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 in the number for which the person entitled to make the acquisition has applied, unless the reduction is made because the number of registrations exceeds the number of share warrants issued. Allotment can be made to the following three categories: CEO, Other Executives and Other Employees. The highest number of share warrants per employee in each category is 2,181,000 share warrants for the CEO, 436,000 share warrants for Other Executives and 50,000 share warrants for Other Employees.

The share warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price established on the basis of a calculated market value for the share warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model as calculated by an independent valuation institute. The transfer price has been fixed to SEK 0.25. The share warrants not acquired by those entitled to make the acquisition shall be retained until further notice in the Subsidiary to enable them to be offered to future employees for acquisition on market terms and in compliance with the above stated guidelines, in accordance with instructions from the Board of the Company.

The participants in the incentive programme will acquire the share warrants at market value. The consequence is that the programme will not carry any personnel costs according to IFRS 2.

C. Assignment and authorization

The General Meeting assigned the Board of the Company to implement the resolution in accordance with Item A above and ensure that the Board of the Subsidiary implements the sale of the share warrants in accordance with Item B above.

The General Meeting authorized the Board to make such minor adjustments to the General Meeting’s resolution that may prove necessary in conjunction with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and affiliation of the share warrants with Euroclear Sweden AB (formerly VPC AB).

D. Resolution in the Subsidiary

The General Meeting in the Subsidiary has approved of the resolution on transfer in accordance with Item B above.

This document is an English translation of the Swedish language press release announced on March 2, 2010. In case of any discrepancies between the Swedish language press release and this English translation, the Swedish language press release shall prevail.

Fingerprint Cards AB (publ) has resolved upon a directed issue of share warrants, subject to approval by the General Meeting etc.

Issue of share warrants
The Board of Fingerprint Cards AB (publ) (the “Company”) has resolved – subject to approval by the General Meeting – that the Company issue a maximum of 3,925,000 share warrants. The resolution corresponds principally to the proposed resolution on a new issue of share warrants which was contemplated to be addressed on the subsequently cancelled Extraordinary General Meeting on February 12, 2010.

The right to subscribe for share warrants shall, with deviation from 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 not later than February 19, 2010. The share warrants will be issued without charge. The Subsidiary shall transfer the share warrants according to the terms stated under “Proposal on transfer” below.

Each share warrant provides entitlement to subscribe for one new Class B share in the Company. Subscription for shares in accordance with the terms and conditions for share warrants may occur in the period commencing June 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012. The subscription price shall total an amount corresponding to 200 percent of the recorded volume-weighted average purchase price for Class B shares in the Company on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the period commencing February 16, 2010 through February 26, 2010. The increase in the Company’s share capital on full exercise of the share warrants will amount to not more than SEK 785,000, which corresponds to dilution of approximately 9,0 percent of the total number of shares in the Company and approximately 7.2 percent of the total number of votes in the Company.

The reasons for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is that the employees, by investing themselves, shall partake of and work for a positive value trend for the Company’s share during the entire period comprised by the proposed program.

Proposal on transfer
The Board furthermore proposes that the General Meeting approve the Subsidiary’s transfer of share warrants on the following terms and conditions. The proposal corresponds principally to the proposed resolution on approval of the transfer of share warrants, etc. which was contemplated to be addressed on the subsequently cancelled Extraordinary General Meeting on February 12, 2010.

The right to acquire share warrants from the Subsidiary will be allotted to all employees of the Fingerprint Cards Group in Sweden, who have not resigned or been notified of termination of employment at the end of the registration period. Allotment is conditional upon it being possible to legally implement the acquisition of share warrants and that the General Meeting has approved the resolution by the Board of Directors according to the above, and that this can be done using reasonable administrative and financial resources according to the Board’s assessment. Registration for the acquisition of share warrants shall occur in the period commencing February 16, 2010 until March 1, 2010 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 in the number for which the person entitled to make the acquisition has applied, unless the reduction is made because the number of registrations exceeds the number of share warrants issued. Allotment can be made to the following three categories: CEO, Other Executives and Other Employees. The highest number of share warrants per employee in each category is 2,181,000 share warrants for the CEO, 436,000 share warrants for Other Executives and 50,000 share warrants for Other Employees.

The share warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price established on the basis of a calculated market value for the share warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model as calculated by an independent valuation institute. The share warrants not acquired by those entitled to make the acquisition shall be retained until further notice in the Subsidiary to enable them to be offered to future employees for acquisition on market terms and in compliance with the above stated guidelines, in accordance with instructions from the Board of the Company.

The participants in the incentive programme will acquire the share warrants at market value. The consequence is that the programme will not carry any personnel costs according to IFRS 2.

Extraordinary General Meeting
An Extraordinary General Meeting to among other things approve the decision above is expected to be held around March 3, 2010.

Extraordinary General Meeting of Fingerprint Cards AB (publ) cancelled

The Extraordinary General Meeting that was scheduled to be held today and to which shareholders were invited to resolve on the Board’s motion concerning on the issue of warrants and approval of the transfer of share warrants, etc., has been cancelled.

The notification was issued in accordance with the Company’s registered Articles of Association, which state that “Notice shall be made through an announcement in Post- och Inrikes Tidningar and on the Company’s website. The fact that notice has been given shall be advertised in Dagens Industri.” The notification of today’s General Meeting was advertised in Dagens Industri on January 12, 2010, without the full notification being published.

The wording of the Articles of Association complies with a proposal for a change in notification regulations for limited liability companies to implement the European Parliament and Council’s Directive 2007/36/EG of July 11, 2007, regarding shareholders’ rights. The proposed change in the Companies Act in accordance with the proposal has not been implemented. Accordingly, the current wording of the Company’s Articles of Association was wrongfully registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The Company has made the assessment that the earlier wording of the Articles of Association applies regarding the formulation of the notification. The full notification should therefore have been published in Dagens Industri. Since notification has not been issued in accordance with the Companies Act, today’s General Meeting has been cancelled.

The Board will issue a new notification of an Extraordinary General Meeting shortly.

The Extraordinary General Meeting was to have been held today, February 12, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. at the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Södra Hamngatan 59-65, Gothenburg.

Item 2 – Election of Chairman for the Meeting

The Chairman of the Board, Tommy Trollborg, is proposed as Chairman for the Meeting.

Item 7 - The Board of Directors’ proposal for a resolution on the issue of warrants and approval of the transfer of share warrants, etc.

Shareholders jointly representing 34 percent of the number of votes and 16 percent of the capital in the Company have declared that they support the Board’s proposal for the issue of share warrants. The proposal essentially involves the following.

A. The Board proposes that the Company issue a maximum of 3,925,000 warrants. The right to subscribe for share warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholder’s preferential rights, be allotted to Fingerprint Security System Databärare AB, Corp. Reg. No. 556239-5938 (“the Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Subscription must be completed not later than February 19, 2010. The share warrants will be issued without charge. The subsidiary shall transfer the share warrants according to the terms stated in Item B below.

Each share warrant provides entitlement to subscribe for one new Class B share in the Company. Subscription for shares in accordance with the terms and conditions for share warrants may occur in the period commencing June 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012. The subscription price shall total an amount corresponding to 200 percent of the noted volume-weighted average purchase price for Class B shares in the Company on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the period commencing February 15, 2010 through February 26, 2010. The increase in the Company’s share capital on full exercise of the share warrants will amount to not more than SEK 785,000, which corresponds to dilution of approximately 8.9 percent of the total number of shares in the Company and approximately 7.2 percent of the total number of votes in the Company.

The reason for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is that the employees, by investing themselves, shall partake of and work for a positive value trend for the Company’s share during the entire period comprised by the proposed program.

B. The Board proposes that the General Meeting approve the Subsidiary’s transfer of share warrants on the following terms and conditions.

The right to acquire share warrants from the subsidiary will be allotted to all employees of the Fingerprint Cards Group in Sweden, who have not resigned or been notified of termination of employment at the end of the registration period. Allotment is conditional upon it being possible to legally implement the acquisition of share warrants and that this can be done using reasonable administrative and financial resources according to the Board’s assessment. Registration for the acquisition of share warrants shall occur in the period commencing February 16, 2010 until March 1, 2010 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 in the number for which the person entitled to make the acquisition has applied, unless the reduction is made because the number of registrations exceeds the number of share warrants issued. Allotment can be made to the following three categories: CEO, Other Executives and Other Employees. The highest number of share warrants per employee in each category is 2,181,000 share warrants for the CEO, 436,000 share warrants for Other Executives and 50,000 share warrants for Other Employees.

The share warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price established on the basis of a calculated market value for the share warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model as calculated by an independent valuation institute. The share warrants not acquired by those entitled to make the acquisition as described above shall be retained until further notice in the Subsidiary to enable them to be offered to future employees on market terms in accordance with instructions from the Board of the Company.

C. The Board proposes that the General Meeting assign the Board of the Company to implement the issue resolution in accordance with Item A above and ensure that the Board of the Subsidiary implements the sale of the share warrants in accordance with Item B above. It is further proposed that the Board be authorized to make minor adjustments to the General Meeting’s resolution that may prove necessary in conjunction with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and affiliation of the share warrants with Euroclear Sweden AB (formerly VPC AB).

Majority requirement

For a valid resolution in accordance with the proposals of the Board contained in Item 7, the resolution must be supported by shareholders with not less than nine-tenths of the votes cast and the shares represented at the General Meeting. The General Meeting of the Subsidiary must also approve the resolution on transfer in accordance with Item 7B above.

Documentation, etc.

Complete proposals for the resolution and documentation in accordance with Ch. 14 Section 8 of the Companies Act will be available at the Company’s office and on the Company’s website, www.fingerprints.com, not later than as of January 29, 2010.

Shortage of components and production disruptions at suppliers, combined with impairment losses, adversely impacting earnings in 2009

In its interim report for January-September 2009, Fingerprint Cards AB announced that the company would achieve break-even figures during the autumn. However, due to a component shortage at the company’s supplier for the packaging of a key product and the breakdown of one of the same supplier’s specialized machines for the company’s products, Fingerprint Cards will probably not achieve break-even figures during the fourth quarter of 2009. The underlying causes of the component shortage and breakdown have now been resolved, and the company’s supplier is doing its utmost to recover the lost production volumes. Although the assessment is that break-even figures will not be achieved during the fourth quarter, the company currently estimates that its deliveries will increase substantially compared with the preceding quarter. Sales for the fourth quarter of 2009 will probably be 50-60% higher than in the year-earlier period and 30-40% higher compared with the third quarter of 2009. During the fourth quarter, the company will also post a nonrecurring impairment loss of SEK 1.8 M on inventories and a nonrecurring impairment loss of SEK 6 M on its capitalized development expenditures to better reflect the technical and commercial potential.

Shortage of components and production disruptions

The production problems experienced by the package assembly and test supplier for the company’s FPC1011F fingerprint sensor, were mainly caused by a shortage of the connector component used to link the sensor to other parts of the customer’s products. To avoid similar problems in the future, the company’s supplier has begun to increase its inventory of the components required for the assembly of Fingerprint Cards’ sensors. During the same period, our package assembly and test supplier also experienced a technical fault in the specially developed machine used to package the company’s sensors. Fingerprint Cards’ supplier has announced that this problem has now been resolved and that production has returned to normal.

“Demand for Fingerprint Cards’ products is growing, which is placing pressure on all of the suppliers in the production chain to increase their production volumes without lowering the company’s recognized standard of quality. The company has learned from these production problems and is currently updating its production flow and putting additional resources into place to secure the future delivery requirements imposed, for example, by its considerable order backlog,” says Johan Carlström, CEO of Fingerprint Cards.

Impairment losses

In its interim report for January-September 2009, Fingerprint Cards warned of a lower gross margin due to the phasing out of certain previously purchased materials. This temporary reduction in the company’s gross margin was previously only expected to affect earnings in the fourth quarter of 2009. However, the recent production disruptions will also have a certain adverse impact on the gross margin for the first quarter of 2010.

In consultation with the company’s auditors, the company’s CEO, Johan Carlström, initiated a stocktaking and a review of the valuation and depreciation methods for capitalized development expenditures. After the completion of this stocktaking, it became evident that there is currently no demand for some products in the company’s inventories and that they should, therefore, be written off. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has decided to post a nonrecurring impairment loss of SEK 1.8 M on inventories, which will be charged against earnings for the fourth quarter of 2009.

The company has also reviewed its valuation and depreciation policies for capitalized development expenditures. After consultation with the company’s auditors, the Board of Directors has decided to write down the value of capitalized development expenditures to better reflect their technical and commercial potential by posting a nonrecurring impairment loss of SEK 6 M, which will be charged against earnings for the fourth quarter of 2009.

“The new management has now completed a necessary review of our inventories and the development projects for which the company previously posted insufficient annual depreciation. We have now changed our depreciation policies for the expenditure we capitalize in order to better reflect the technical and commercial potential. Implementation of the impairment losses described above, a healthy order book and robust demand in China and other markets mean that the company is well-equipped for positive performance in 2010,” says Johan Carlström.

Fingerprint Cards has developed electronic systems that determine personal identity by analysing the unique fingertip patterns of individuals. The systems comprise microchips with algorithms that scan, store and compare fingertip patterns without the help of any PC processor. Two types of capacitive sensors have been developed, an extremely small swipe sensor and a flatbed sensor. Processor ASICs and algorithms have been developed for each type of sensor. By virtue of its smallness, low power consumption and the possibility of very low production costs, the technology can be integrated in volume products such as smart cards and mobile (cell) phones, where the requirements for such features are extremely high. Other applications for the technology include access control systems for buildings and products for log on to computers and IT networks.

Fingerprint Cards has its head office in Gothenburg and is listed on the OMX Nordic Exchange (FING B).

Fingerprint Cards receives order from China worth MSEK 15

Fingerprint Cards´ reseller in China, Hardware & Software Technologies Co. Ltd (HST), has placed an order worth MSEK 15. The order concerns the Company´s fingerprint sensors featuring the newly developed packaging design. Deliveries are planned for the first quarter of 2009 but may be stretched out into the second quarter.

Demand for the Company´s sensor technology in China continues to be good and is expected to increase markedly for next year. This is especially so for the market segment featuring biometric IT security products for the financial sector, one where the Company has already achieved a strong position. In the same region other product segments such as physical access are also seeing a growing demand for biometric technology according to HST.

Lars Lundgren Jr., VP Marketing of Fingerprint Cards AB, comments: “After two solid years of increasing volumes of biometric security solutions delivered to the biggest banks in China, and using our sensor technology, we can now see an enlargement of this market. Moreover, the regional banks in that country have begun to implement biometric IT security solutions and our technology also has good opportunities to win a strong position here.”

Interruptions to Fingerprint Cards´ production rectified but the goal for this year´s sales turnover may be affected

The cause of a production interruption at one of the Company´s subcontractors, described in the press release of 18 August, has now been rectified and this stage of the production process is now up and running. The problem concerned equipment used for automated testing of sensor chips, conducted after a protective layer is applied to the sensor surface. Only after this test of the sensor coating is approved are the sensor chips ready for the final production stages of packaging and assembly  which takes place at another subcontractor concluding the production process.

This production interruption has had and will have a negative effect on planning for the final stages of packaging and final assembly, which will now be pushed back. As it has taken slightly longer than anticipated to rectify the problems then this will have a negative effect on deliveries to customers, and thereby on the Company´s sales turnover for the rest of the year. Sales turnover for the third quarter will be marginally better compared with the second quarter, which is in line with what was said on 18 August. However, there is a risk that the forecast sales increase for the whole year will not reach the previously stated 70 percent. Income for the whole year is estimated to increase markedly compared with the previous year, but uncertainty as to what the real extent of the effects on production for the fourth quarter  will be makes it difficult to give a more precise figure.

The Company´s sensor is the component that reads the user´s finger pattern. The naked silicon chip is extremely vulnerable to mechanical and chemical damage as well as to electrostatic discharges. Therefore the silicon must be protected with a strong coating that withstands not only the most varying environments but also a great number of uses as well as repeated electrostatic discharges up to 15 kV. The high quality requirements the Company has on its components plays an important role in marketing and high quality together with high performance for the technology have been deciding factors for the strong position the Company´s sensor technology has achieved in above all the Chinese market.

Fingerprint Cards adjusts its delivery plans

In the interim report for the period January to June 2008 Fingerprint Cards AB has forecast that deliveries for this year´s third quarter were planned to increase by 50 percent compared with the second quarter of the year. Since the publication of this interim report the Company has received information concerning production interruptions at one of its subcontractors which implies that the delivery plan is unlikely to be fulfilled exactly as stated. The Company´s present knowledge and understanding of the situation requires that this forecast be adjusted, meaning that deliveries for the third quarter are now planned to increase only marginally compared with the second quarter. The assessment is that the production problem will be solved within the next month.

The interruption concerns a specific technical inspection stage in the production process, which takes place just before the sensors produced are delivered to the subcontractor carrying out the packaging work. Following the application of a protective layer to the sensor surface an automated test is made, and the subcontractor responsible for this test has not yet managed to get the automated test equipment working to its full extent and, as a consequence, the flow of chips that continues on to the packaging stage is less than has been planned by the Company for this third quarter. The present assessment is that that the problem will be solved within the next month. No additional delays have been shown by the subcontractor carrying out the packaging work following this inspection.

Sales for this year are expected to increase by approximately 70 percent compared with last year´s sales. The financial goal communicated in the last interim report namely, that the Company plans to reach a break-even point some time during the first part of 2009 continues, with the clarification that this will be during the first half of 2009.

“It is of course disappointing having to communicate a deviation from our plans but, it is our belief that the production interruptions we are crossing should be seen as temporary. Fingerprint Cards´ products are technically advanced and the tolerances in production are very small, so this kind of production problem can arise, particularly with the high quality requirements we demand of our subcontractors. In this matter it is also relevant to point out that our order stock is healthy and that our other production is running at full speed”, assures Lennart Carlson, CEO and President of Fingerprint Cards AB.
