Item 8.01.    Other Events
 
On October 29, 2010, Identive Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary SCM Microsystems (Asia) Pte. Ltd. (together, the "Company") entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with FCI Asia Pte. Ltd., FCI SA and FCI Connectors Singapore Pte. Ltd. (collectively, "FCI") under which the Company will acquire all the shares and intellectual property of FCI Smartag Pte. Ltd. ("Smartag") in a cash and debt transaction (the "Share Purchase Agreement").

Smartag is a Singapore-based manufacturer of high frequency ("HF") and ultra high frequency ("UHF") radio frequency identification ("RFID") inlays and inlay-based solutions including labels and tags used for asset tracking, cards and stickers used for e-payment and ticketing transactions, and near field communication ("NFC") labels used to enable secure payments with mobile devices.

Under the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company will pay FCI approximately $4.1 million, consisting of a one-time payment at the close of the transaction of approximately $1.0 million and a promissory note for approximately $3.1 million. The promissory note carries an interest rate of 6% per year and is payable within 30 months from the closing date.

The transaction is expected to close in November 2010, subject to various customary closing conditions.
