Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Identive Group, Inc. (the “Company”) has entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 29, 2011, with certain shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders”) of idOnDemand, Inc., a privately held provider of identity management services based in Pleasanton, California (“idOnDemand”), under which the Company has acquired approximately 95.8% of the shares of idOnDemand in exchange for cash and shares of the Company (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). The transaction closed on May 2, 2011.

Initial consideration at closing consisted of approximately $2.4 million in cash and 995,675 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, calculated on a conversion price of $3.85 per share for an equivalent value of approximately $3.8 million. In addition, Selling Shareholders may receive aggregate potential earn-out payments of up to a total of approximately $21.0 million, payable in shares of the Company’s Common Stock and subject to achievement of specific financial and sales performance targets over a period of three years and eight months from the closing date of the acquisition; provided, however, that the Company shall not issue to the Selling Shareholders an amount of Company shares in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on April 29, 2011. The shares of Company Common Stock issued at closing were issued in reliance upon available exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, including Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation S thereunder, as well as comparable exemptions under applicable state and foreign securities laws. Shares issued as consideration to the Selling Shareholders are subject to a two-year lock-up from the closing date of the acquisition, after which the shares will be released from lock-up monthly, in equal amounts over a period of 12 months. Additionally, 425,000 of the aggregate initial share consideration paid to the Selling Shareholders will be released from lock-up six months after the closing date.

The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference.
