Idex Progress on the Mobile Market

Oslo, Norway, October 20, 2015: IDEX ASA, a leader in fingerprint imaging and

recognition technology and IP, has been in active trials of our next generation

fingerprint touch sensors with several leading mobile OEMs. As a result of

positive evaluation of samples, and validation of superior imaging quality,

trials have successfully progressed to the next phase. Customer specific modules

have been manufactured and the potential customers have enabled on site

integration to commence with their application software. We expect these

activities to lead to mobile device design wins.

IDEX has enabled our fingerprint sensor software to operate with third party

enrollment and matching software, to increase customer options and maximizing go

to market solutions for our new sensors. IDEX already deploys several algorithm

solutions to cover multiple applications. This strategy enables a wider product

portfolio and supports increased customer sales activity with our channel

partners.

IDEX's next generation fingerprint sensor polymer technology has a compelling

price/performance and customizable form factor benefits. IDEX announced the

first production order for our new touch sensor on September 21, and this sensor

is now in production through our high volume supply chain.

IDEX has also made excellent progress with demonstrating our unique inside glass

sensor technology with our undisclosed partner. The inside glass solution

provides a compelling sleek and durable design with no loss of imaging quality,

leveraging the same next generation sensor technology. IDEX believes this

addresses mobile customer demands for sensors to be seamlessly integrated on the

front of phone in the cover glass.
