IDEX receives first production order for new off-chip touch sensor

Oslo, Norway, September 21, 2015: IDEX ASA has received the first order for
production quantities of its new off-chip sensor product from World Wide Touch
Technology Holding Ltd (WWTT). This is the first volume order for the product
which is the core platform for the new range of fingerprint touch sensors
launched by IDEX this year. This order from WWTT is an upgrade of an order for
our first generation silicon sensors and strongly validates the advantages of
IDEX's patented flexible sensor technology.

IDEX's next generation sensor technology used in the off-chip product has
compelling price/performance and form factor benefits compared with the
traditional silicon based products which allows IDEX to offer strongly
differentiated solutions to both the mobile device and the card payment markets.
Leading OEMs from these markets are actively trialling the products and are
giving very positive feedback.

In addition we continue to move forward quickly with the program to secure OEM
trials for the in-glass version of our off-chip sensor with the major Fortune
500 partner we announced recently. Sensing in the glass gives much better
fingerprint images than those from sensors which are placed under the glass due
to the blurring effect of the glass screen which has to be made thick enough to
resist cracking. We believe that IDEX's in-glass sensor using our unique
technology will be the only practical solution in the market.

Alongside this IDEX is also commercialising its technology for use in biometric
cards where the thin and flexible nature of the off-chip sensor provides great
advantages. These solutions are being developed within the strategic partnership
we announced in June with a major global payments company.
