PRESS RELEASE Gothenburg on March 4, 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.
