The Annual General Meeting acknowledges the statement on executive remuneration, conf. Section 6-16a of the PLCA, as presented by the Board to the Annual General Meeting.

(b) Binding resolution of management remuneration policy

The Annual General Meeting refers to its resolution on item 5 on the agenda of the instant meeting. Any other share-based remuneration programme for the management must be presented for consideration at a general meeting.

5. 2018 Subscription Rights Incentive Plan

On 12 May 2017, the Annual General Meeting resolved to renew previous resolutions providing for the grant of independent subscription rights as part of the Company's incentive program. A new subscription rights plan is proposed for the coming one-year period. Consistent with past practice, the former plan is closed each time a new plan is implemented, meaning that no further subscription rights will be granted under the former plans.

Independent subscription rights cannot be exercised beyond five years from the date of the resolution by the general meeting. In order for the Company to continue with a consistent life span of minimum four years and consistent vesting schedules on future grants, the Board proposes the adoption of a new subscription rights program for the coming one-year period.

The Board proposes that the maximum number of independent subscription rights that may be granted under the 2018 plan shall be limited to 10 (ten) per cent of the registered number of shares in the Company. The grants are also limited to provide that the number of issued and outstanding subscription rights under all of the Company's subscription right plans shall not exceed 10 (ten) per cent of the registered number of shares in the Company at any given time.

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting passes a resolution for the issuance of subscription rights to employees and individual contractors performing similar work of/for the Company, its subsidiaries and associated companies.

The Board considers that incentive subscription rights contribute to retention and motivation of employees and individual contractors by allowing them to share the rewards resulting from their efforts.

Proposal for resolution by the Annual General Meeting:

The Annual General Meeting resolves a new 2018 Subscription Rights Incentive Plan, whereby the Company may issue independent subscription rights to employees of IDEX ASA and its subsidiaries and associated companies (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Company"), and to individual contractors performing similar work.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing includes grants of subscription rights to (i) employees of and individual consultants to IDEX America Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and/or (ii) other employees or individual consultants within the IDEX Group of Companies who are US citizens, US residents within the meaning of Section 7701 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and US non-residents who accrue benefits under the Subscription Rights Incentive Plan during a period of US employment.

Each subscription right shall entitle the holder to demand the issuance of one share in the Company. In the event the Company's share capital or number of shares is changed by way of a capitalization issue, stock split, stock consolidation etc. the maximum number of subscription rights, and the consideration for the shares to be issued in the Company upon exercise of the subscription rights, shall be adjusted accordingly and rounded downwards to the nearest whole number.

The number of subscription rights which may be issued shall be a minimum of one subscription right and a maximum of 54,238,310 subscription rights; limited, however, so that the number of issued and outstanding subscription rights under all of the Company's subscription right programs shall not exceed 10 (ten) per cent of the registered number of shares in the Company at any given time.

The subscription rights must be subscribed for by latest the day immediately preceding the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

The subscription rights will be granted for no consideration.

The subscription rights shall be non-assignable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

The vesting schedule for the subscription rights shall be 25 per cent each year beginning one year from the Vesting Commencement date. The Vesting Commencement date shall be the latest of the following dates before the date of grant of the subscription rights; (i) 15 January, (ii) 15 April, (iii) 15 July or (iv) 15 October. The Board may decide to establish an accelerated vesting schedule, if deemed appropriate. The 25 per cent per year vesting is chosen as it balances the short term incentives and the long term attractiveness.

Except as otherwise expressly determined by the Board, in the event of a Change of Control, subscription rights shall accelerate and immediately become 100 per cent vested as of the date of the consummation of the Change of Control. For the purpose of this paragraph, Change of Control shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) Any acquisition, sale or disposition of stock or assets of the Company or merger or other form of consolidation resulting in a change of ownership of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, (ii) any legal person directly or indirectly becoming the beneficial owner of securities of the Company representing 50 per cent or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then-outstanding securities; or (iii) the complete liquidation of the Company pursuant to a plan approved by the shareholders of the Company.

The Board will establish the further rules and procedures in regard to vesting and exercise in cases of resignation or other termination of employment or contract, including subsequent time frames to allow completion of exercise after termination. If deemed appropriate, the Board may decide to establish certain milestones in regard to vesting and exercise of the subscription rights.

In connection with the issuance of subscription rights, and the exercise of any of the subscription rights and the resulting share capital increase in the Company, the existing

shareholders are waiving their preferential right to subscribe for subscription rights or shares, as the case may be, according to the PLCA.

As consideration for the shares to be issued in the Company upon exercise of the subscription rights hereunder, the holders of the subscription rights shall pay to the Company a sum per share, which at least shall equal the greater of (i) the average closing price of the Company's share reported by Oslo Børs over ten trading days immediately preceding the date of grant of the subscription rights, and (ii) the closing price of the Company's share reported by Oslo Børs on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant of the subscription rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the subscription right holder is an owner of 10% or more of the Company's shares, in the case of a grant which is an Incentive Stock Option under the US Internal Revenue Code, the exercise price shall be at least 110% of the greater of (i) the average closing price of the Company's share reported by Oslo Børs over ten trading days immediately preceding the date of grant of the subscription rights and (ii) the closing price of the Company's share reported by Oslo Børs on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant of the subscription rights. The Board may determine, in its sole discretion and in cases of particular circumstances, that the subscription right exercise price per share shall be lower than the actual or average fair market value as stated above; provided, however, that the subscription right exercise price per share under no circumstances shall be less than the par value per share at any given time. The maximum number of shares that may be issued with a subscription right exercise price per share lower than the actual or average fair market value, shall under no circumstances exceed 5,423,831 shares.

No subscription rights may be exercised beyond the 5-year anniversary of the date of this resolution. In connection with the issuance of subscription rights, the Company may provide terms and conditions for exercise, as well as imposing restrictions on the sale and transfer of shares issued upon exercise of the subscription rights.

Any shares that are issued by the Company under the Subscription Rights Plan shall carry right to dividends declared subsequent to the subscriber having paid the subscription price and the associated share capital increase having been registered in the Register of Business Enterprises. All other shareholder rights associated with these shares, hereunder those referenced in Section 11-12 (2) no.9 of the PLCA, shall attach from the date of payment of the exercise price.

6. Authorizations to the Board to issue new shares

The Annual General Meeting on 12 May 2017 authorized the Board to increase the Company's share capital by issuance of new shares in connection with private placements and rights issues. The authorizations expire on the date of the 2018 Annual General Meeting.

Generally, as the Company is working to further develop its business operations, it may be necessary that the Board is able to commit transactions on a short notice. The required 21-days' notice for a general meeting may delay this process.

The Board proposes that the authorizations shall expire on the date of the 2019 Annual General Meeting, however no later than 30 June 2019.

The Board proposes that the board authorization shall be maximized to a total nominal value of NOK 8,135,746.57, representing 10 percent of the registered share capital of the Company at the time of this authorization.

7. Resolution of the remuneration of the Board members

The nomination committee proposes the following resolution to be passed by the Annual General Meeting:

The annual board remuneration is NOK 300,000 per board member for the period from the date of the 2017 Annual General Meeting until the date of the 2018 Annual General Meeting. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional amount of NOK 25,000.

In addition, the Company will refund relevant expenses that the members of the Board may have incurred in connection with the exercise of board functions.

As the Company sees benefits in restraining the outflow of liquidity and the board members have indicated that they may be interested in receiving shares in the Company, the Board proposes that the board members, as an alternative to a cash payment, can elect to receive all or part of the remuneration in the form of shares in the Company. The number of shares to which the board members would be entitled is proposed to be calculated as follows: The board member shall be entitled to subscribe for a value of shares (based on the average closing price of the Company's shares over the ten trading days prior to the Annual General Meeting in 2018) of 133 per cent of the NOK amount granted as board remuneration; provided, however, that the board member must pay a subscription price per share equal to the par value of the share, being NOK 0.15 per share.

The Board proposes the following resolution by the Annual General Meeting:

The board members may elect to receive all or part of the board remuneration in the form of shares in the Company.

The number of shares to which the board members would be entitled shall be calculated as follows: The board member shall be entitled to subscribe for shares having a total market value (based on the average closing price of the Company's shares over the ten trading days prior to the Annual General Meeting in 2018) of 133 per cent of the NOK amount granted as board remuneration; provided, however, that the board member must pay a subscription price per share equal to the par value of the share, being NOK 0.15.

To the extent a board member wishes to receive board remuneration in the form of shares, the Board member must notify the Company and subscribe for the shares before the start of trading on Oslo Børs on the trading day immediately subsequent to the date of the Annual General Meeting in 2018, and also pledge to not sell the shares before the earlier of the Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2019 or 30 June 2019. Payment of the subscription price shall be made no later than 31 May 2018.

In order to facilitate the foregoing, the Board is authorized to accomplish one or more share capital increases with a maximum of NOK 200,000 for the purpose of issuing shares to those board members who elect to receive shares as opposed to cash on the aforesaid terms, and to amend the Company's Articles of Association accordingly. Existing shareholders are waiving their pre-emptive right to subscribe for shares according to the PLCA in event of a share capital extension as authorized herein. The new shares, which may be subscribed for according to this resolution, shall have right to dividends declared subsequent to the subscriber having paid the subscription price and the associated share capital increase having been registered in the Register of Business Enterprises. This Board authorization expires on 31 May 2018.

8. Election of the Board of Directors

The nomination committee's recommendation on this subject will be presented before or at the Annual General Meeting.

One out of five board members stands for election; Andrew James MacLeod. Morten Opstad (Chairman), Lawrence John Ciaccia, Deborah Lee Davis and Hanne Høvding were elected for a two-year term at the 2017 Annual General Meeting and do not stand for election.

The current members of the Board are presented in the 2017 annual report.

The nomination committee emphasizes that the composition of board members should be subject to evaluation each year, regardless of the election periods.

9. Resolution of the remuneration to the members of the nomination committee

The nomination committee proposes that:

Remuneration to the nomination committee's members is NOK 25,000 for the Chairman of the committee and NOK 15,000 for each of the other members for the period from the 2017 Annual General Meeting to the 2018 Annual General Meeting.

The nomination committee proposes;

Mr Harald Voigt continues as chairman of the nomination committee for the second year of his term. Mr Rune Sundvall and Mr Robert Keith continue as members of the nomination committee for the second year of their terms.

11. Resolution of the remuneration of the auditor

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting approves the payment of the auditor's fees for 2017 against invoice. The fees are disclosed in note 6 to the annual financial statements for 2017.

At 09.30 hrs. or after the Annual General Meeting has been adjourned, the CEO, Stan Swearingen, will give a presentation and status report of IDEX ASA. The presentation is open to the general public and the press.

18 April 2018 IDEX ASA

Morten Opstad Chairman of the Board of Directors

Statement on remuneration to senior managers 2018

This statement to the annual general meeting in IDEX ASA ("the Company") on 9 May 2018 has been prepared by the board of directors of IDEX ASA in accordance with Section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. The statement contains guidelines and main principles for the company's remuneration of senior managers in 2019. The statement also outlines the implementation and effects of the policies in effect in 2017.

1. Advisory guidelines for remuneration of senior managers in 2019

Note: The guidelines in this section set out the principles for executive remuneration at large. These guidelines are subject to a separate vote at the annual general meeting, which result is advisory (nonbinding) to the board of directors.

In order to attract and retain the leadership competence that IDEX needs, the remuneration of senior managers, and all other employees, shall be competitive and comprise a basic salary including standard benefits. Performance-based cash bonus and incentive subscription rights may supplement the salary. Cash bonus plans are limited to fixed amounts or fixed percentage of base pay. The highest bonus plan for any executive manager is currently limited to a maximum of 40 per cent of base pay, and the CEO's bonus plan is currently limited to a maximum of 70 per cent of base pay. In addition, the board may grant the CEO an exceptional bonus of up to 30 per cent of base salary for strategic achievements. All parts of the remuneration – fixed as well as variable – shall reflect the responsibility and performance over time of the respective manager.

Bonus payments are contingent on efforts and contribution to achievement of business and/or operational objectives. The board determines a set of specific and measurable company-wide objectives, related to both financial and operational targets. The achievement of these objectives determines the total bonus pool for allocation. In addition, individual objectives are set for all employees. The achievement of these objectives determines individual bonus achievement.

The basic salary is evaluated annually and the company's bonus plan cycle is from 1 January to 31 December, with a possible mid-term evaluation as at 30 June and pay-out in the third quarter.

Managers do not receive any additional compensation for serving as board members of subsidiaries in the group. For the avoidance of doubt, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such duty is refunded per normal expense refund practices. The managing director of the company is also CEO for the group, and performs this duty as a part of his employment in the company for no additional remuneration.

IDEX's employment contracts do not include any clawback provisions. Clawback provisions are, however, not common in Norway, as this is covered by Norwegian legislation.

The board determines the salary and other remuneration to the CEO. The CEO determines the salary and other remuneration of all other employees, within the framework set by the board.

There is no post-employment remuneration beyond conventional notice periods of 3-6 months, or shorter when applicable.

2. Binding guidelines for share-based remuneration to senior managers in 2019

Note: The guidelines in this section set out the principles for share-based executive remuneration. These guidelines are subject to a separate vote at the annual general meeting, which result is binding for the board of directors.

The company's subscription rights plan(s) as resolved by the general meeting is the same for senior managers as for all employees. Grants are scaled based on position, results and competitive considerations. The purpose of such plans is to strengthen the company by providing to employees, management and individual contractors additional performance incentive.

According to the programme rules, as resolved separately by the annual general meeting, the exercise price shall be minimum the higher of the average closing price of the IDEX share on ten trading days preceding the date of the grant, or the closing price of the IDEX share on the trading day preceding the date of the grant. Unless resolved otherwise by the board, 25 per cent of each grant of subscription rights vest each 12 months after the date of the grant. The subscription rights lapse on the fifth anniversary after the annual general meeting that resolved the programme.

3. Implementation and effect of the policies on remuneration to senior managers in 2017

The bonus plan works to motivate senior managers to achieve the company's operational and business objectives in the annual planning cycle. The share-based incentive plan with vesting over several years, works to align the interests of senior managers with shareholders' interests also in the long term.

Salary, pension and any paid bonuses including pertinent employer's tax is expensed simultaneously with the paid or earned remuneration. The compensation of each senior manager in 2017 is reported in note 3 to the annual financial statements for 2017.

The equity effect of the share-based remuneration is nil because the contra item is a notional equity injection of equal amount. The employer's tax on the earned intrinsic value of the subscription rights on the balance sheet date, is charged to profit and loss as a cost. The value varies with the share price and may entail a net reversal of cost. On exercise, the actual employer's tax is expensed and the accrual reversed. The actual cost of the employer's tax is normally funded by the equity paid in on exercise.

For the shareholders an actual or possible exercise will represent a dilution. At the end of 2017, the number of outstanding subscription rights to management amounted to 11,047,500, corresponding to 2.0 per cent of the share capital.

The Board of Directors of IDEX ASA

THE NOMINATION COMMITTEE'S PROPOSAL TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING IN IDEX ASA ON 9 MAY 2018

The work of the Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee was elected at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") 12 May 2017 and has been comprised of Chairman Mr. Harald Voigt and members Mr. Robert N. Keith and Mr. Rune Sundvall.

In addition to communicating with each other, the Nomination Committee has been in contact with the Company's management, the Chairman of the Board, Board members and some of the largest shareholders in the Company.

Information obtained from these contacts has formed the basis for a specification of the desired profile of the Board members.

There has been a broad consensus that the Company needs Board members with international experience and contact points with the major international players within the areas where biometric identification will be utilized.

In general, the Nomination Committee has the opinion that the Board is well functioning, as is its cooperation with the management.

Election of Board members

The nomination committee's recommendation on this subject will be presented before or at the Annual General Meeting.

The Board members Mr Morten Opstad (chairman), Ms Deborah Davis, Ms Hanne Høvding and Mr Lawrence John Ciaccia were re-elected for a period of two years at the 2017 Annual General Meeting and do not stand for election. Mr Andrew James MacLeod was elected for the second year of a two-year term in 2017 and therefore stand for election.

The Nomination Committee emphasizes that the composition of Board members should be subject to evaluation each year, regardless of the election periods.

The Board's current members are presented in the 2017 annual report.

Remuneration to the members of the Board

The AGM in May 2017 decided the remuneration for the members of the Board to NOK 300,000 per Board member, with an additional NOK 25,000 to the chairman, for the period from the 2016 AGM until the 2017 AGM.

The Nomination Committee proposes the following resolution to be passed by the 2018 AGM:

The board remuneration is NOK 300,000 per board member for the period from the date of the 2017 Annual General Meeting until the date of the 2018 Annual General Meeting. The chairman of the Board receives an additional amount of NOK 25,000.

In addition, the Company will refund relevant expenses that the members of the Board may have incurred in connection with the exercise of Board functions.

As Board members have indicated that they may be interested in receiving shares in the Company, the board proposes that the Board members, as an alternative to a cash payment, can elect to receive all or part of the remuneration in the form of shares in the Company. The number of shares to which the Board members would be entitled is proposed to be calculated as follows:

The Board member shall be entitled to subscribe for a value of shares (based on the average closing price of the Company's shares over the ten trading days prior to the 2018 Annual General Meeting) of 133 per cent of the NOK amount granted as board remuneration; provided, however, that the Board member must pay a subscription price per share equal to the par value of the share, being NOK 0.15 per share.

The full proposal is set forth in the Notice of AGM.

The Nomination Committee has no objection to the Board's proposal.

Composition of the Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee has the opinion that the current committee has a reasonable size.

At the Annual General Meeting in 2017 Mr Harald Voigt was re-elected as chairman of the Nomination Committee for a period of two years. Mr Rune Sundvall and Mr Robert N. Keith were re-elected as members of the Nomination Committee for a period of two years.

The Nomination Committee emphasizes that the composition of members should be subject to evaluation each year, regardless of the election periods.

The Nomination Committee proposes;

Mr Harald Voigt continues as chairman of the Nomination Committee for the second year of his term. Mr Rune Sundvall and Mr Robert N. Keith continue as members of the Nomination Committee for a their second year of their term.
