OSLO, NORWAY - 23 MARCH 2023 - Reference is made to the stock exchange announcements published by Zwipe AS (the "Company") on 21 March 2023 regarding the final result of the rights issue of 20,862,047 new shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares") at a subscription price of NOK 4.80 per Offer Share (the "Rights Issue") and the subscriptions made by the primary insiders Robert Mueller on 9 March 2023 and Diderik Schonheyder on 10 March 2023, respectively.
Due to a miscalculation of the number of Offer Shares the subscription rights received in the Rights Issue entitled them to based on the 9:5 subscription ratio, the number of Offer Shares subscribed for in the Rights Issue was incorrectly reported for Robert Mueller and Diderik Schonheyder. The miscalculation was identified following receipt of their final allocation of Offer Shares in the Rights Issue.

OSLO, NORWAY and RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA– 16 March 2023 – Unicard, a provider of secure solutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and a subsidiary of Inkript, a digital security solutions provider in the Middle East and Africa, has partnered with Zwipe to deploy biometric payment cards in the MEA region. With this collaboration, Zwipe will strengthen its presence in one of the leading markets in the MEA region.
Unicard develops customized solutions in security printing and is a leading supplier of smartcards for the Saudi market.
Commenting on this major development of the growing and promising biometric payment card market, Riad Itani, Managing Director at Inkript Industries, said, “Our partnership with Zwipe is key in a growing market such as KSA. In the last few years, we have been witnessing an increase in digital payment usage in the Kingdom but security remains key to the growing adoption of innovative payment methods. Therefore, the demand for biometric payment cards has grown as Saudi consumers have shown an openness for new payments options. The government is also encouraging cashless transactions and promoting payment innovation with emphasis on fraud prevention.
"In fact, according to Global Data’s forecast, the Saudi Arabian payments market is expected to grow at a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% between 2022 and 2026 to reach $ 219.2 billion in 2026. We believe that the rapid evolution of the biometric payment card market is imminent in a country supported by a robust contactless payment infrastructure. As biometric authentication is reshaping payments, we are looking forward to working with Zwipe, to provide our clients in the Kingdom with the latest and most secure biometric payment technology”.
As part of this agreement, Zwipe will provide its VISA and Mastercard approved Zwipe Pay biometric payment card platform to Unicard to make biometric payment cards available in Saudi Arabia and the MEA region. Unicard will benefit from Zwipe’s biometric technology platform and expertise in biometric card manufacturing, personalization and fulfillment services.
According to Ramzi Saboury, General Manager for Zwipe in Middle East and Africa, “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a key market for Zwipe, with a high potential for biometric payment cards. We are therefore very pleased with this new partnership with Unicard. Our clients will benefit from getting our partner biometric cards based on the most advanced and certified Zwipe Pay solution.”

Dear Customers, Zwipers and Partners,
I am delighted to begin this new journey as the CEO of Zwipe. Since day one, I have felt thoroughly welcomed and enjoyed the energy, engagement and competencies that we have in the team.
I would like to start by saying a big thanks to all Zwipers for working tirelessly and to André Løvestam for having been such a strong ambassador of next generation biometric cards for many years.
More card manufacturers, payment processors, banks and enterprises than ever before are today committed to launch their next generation card programs with Zwipe. My sincere thanks to our customers and partners for their continued confidence in our platform. Throughout H1 2022, we continued to grow our customer and partner base at a strong pace.
· We signed with six new issuers, from Germany to India and the Middle East. All of them are now engaged with our card manufacturing partners and other players in the value chain to launch their new cards.
· In the APAC region, we strengthened our market position significantly with Placard (largest card manufacturer in Australia and New Zealand), Modularsoft (Malaysia’s largest payment card personalization bureau) and Wisecard (one of APAC region’s largest EMV Software providers). All these leading brands selected Zwipe Pay platform in launching their next generation payment cards.
· On the technology side, our Zwipe Pay platform received the Letter of Approval (LoA) from Visa, which was followed by confirmations of Visa certification from our three lead customers (Tag Systems, BCC and Inkript). This list will only grow from here.
· Fraport, operating in 31 international airports (including Frankfurt, New York (JFK), New Jersey (EWR) and New Delhi) shortlisted the Zwipe Access platform for their new access card program. Pilot is now underway, and we are expecting a decision before the end of the year.
We also strengthened our organization by welcoming Patrice Meilland as Chief Strategy & Product Officer and Danielle Glenn as CFO & Head of IR. Patrice joins from his position as the SVP of Advanced Cards in Idemia. Danielle brings substantial financial markets experience from the likes of Goldman Sachs and her most recent role as the CFO of Arctic Bioscience. With a strong focus on ensuring deliveries and successfull launches, we have also strengthened our engineering teams.
Throughout H1 2022,we continued to investigate consumers’ payment preferences and their feedback on biometric payment cards. From Austria to Australia, Italy to Taiwan, Malaysia to The Netherlands and Germany, consumers’ interest in biometric payment cards remained consistent and very strong. This is encouraging, not just for Zwipe but for all our customers, partners and industry peers who just like Zwipe are on a mission to deliver the next generation payment and access control experience worldwide.
I now look forward leading Zwipe and together as a team delivering measurable value to our customers, partners and shareholders.
Wishing you all a happy and safe summer!

OSLO, NORWAY - 28 April 2022 - Zwipe AS today publishes its first quarter operational update.
Q1 2022 Highlights
During the first quarter of 2022, Zwipe made significant progress towards the targeted commercial breakthrough for biometric cards for payment and access control:
Significant events after the period
Message from the CEO
Most importantly for Q1 2022, Visa certified the Zwipe Pay Biometric Payment Card Platform and issued the Letter of Approval to Zwipe. Zwipe Pay passed all tests required to obtain the Visa Letter of Approval. This is a major milestone which represents a seminal moment for the company, and the leadership is rightly proud of the achievement. With this, the Zwipe Pay biometric payment card platform is the most advanced and cost-effective certified solution available to smart card manufacturers globally. The LoA enables our customers to swiftly obtain VISA certification for their own biometric payment card designs for full-scale production and issuance in any global territory.
This was evidenced when two smart card manufacturers, Tag Systems and Beautiful Card Corporation (BCC), announced within a week of Zwipe's announcement that they had obtained Letters of Approval from VISA for their own biometric payment card solutions based on the Zwipe Pay platform. This means that the pathway is now open for smart card manufacturers and issuers all over the world to certify, produce and deploy biometric Visa cards based on Zwipe Pay for commercial launch to consumers. We are also progressing towards certification with Mastercard.
From January until mid-April 2022, a total of six new issuers across APAC, Africa and the Middle East signed up to pilot biometric payment cards based on Zwipe technology. These issuers are sKarn from India, Al Mansour Bank from Iraq, Mediterranean Bank from Libya, National Bank of Iraq, CSC Jordan and a leading bank in Kuwait. We also entered new partnerships with card personalization bureaus and service providers such as Modularsoft in Malaysia and K2sas / Card Systems Group in France and the Middle East.
We strengthened our effort in positioning Zwipe as a leading biometric company in the APAC region by announcing that Placard, Australia’s largest card manufacturer, selected Zwipe as its technology partner to pursue market opportunities for biometric payment cards and other security products. Placard delivers more than 100 million cards each year for the most established brands in the financial, retail, identification, government, loyalty and hospitality sectors and will help to accelerate the deployment of biometric payment cards to banks and consumers.
We were also delighted that US-based TSYS, one of the world's largest and most respected payment service providers, declared our partnership on their website, reflecting our announcement on 15 December 2021. TSYS, which is part of Global Payments Inc, a member of the S&P 500, produced approximately 100 million cards of all types in the United States in 2021. I recommend you read their excellent feature story about our partnership and why the two companies plan to produce an affordable, secure biometric payment card.
During 2022 we have seen a fast-growing interest in Zwipe Access, our new, batteryless biometric smart card solution for access control that offers fast and cost-efficient added security from biometrics without changing the infrastructure. Fraport AG recently launched a project to identify the optimal solution for performing a biometric comparison between the airport ID card and the person requesting access and selected Zwipe Access as one of two finalists in this prestigious innovation project. Fraport AG ranks among the world’s leading companies in the airport business, offering a full range of integrated airport management services with subsidiaries and investments around the globe. It operates 31 airports globally.
Against this background, I was also thrilled to see the successful integration of Zwipe Access on LEGIC’s end-to-end security platform. In LEGIC’s own words, Zwipe Access “…adds a revolutionary new layer of security to the huge installed base of LEGIC card-based access control systems worldwide. This innovation brings benefits that were formerly only available on smartphone solutions, while preserving existing infrastructure and drastically reducing time-to-market". The installed base of LEGIC systems comprises 100.000 installations with more than 3 million readers and 150.000 daily users.
Zwipe continues to attract top industry talent, as evidenced by the appointment of Danielle Glenn as CFO and Head of IR and Patrice Meilland as Chief Strategy and Product Officer. Ms. Glenn has spent most of her career in London and New York, working at Goldman Sachs, Caxton Associates and Bywater Capital as a global macro hedge fund manager and Chief Investment Officer, while Mr. Meilland has extensive business and technical experience in the semiconductor, mobile, and payment card industries including 7 years at Idemia and 26 years at ST Microelectronics and ST-Ericsson.
On top of obtaining our Visa certification, the addition of new customers, pilot agreements and partnerships with significant stakeholders worldwide, all contribute to the foundation for future mass-market deployment of our compelling and value-adding technology. These efforts will continue at full speed going forward. Meanwhile, we are supporting customers in getting ready for production and volume deliveries.
Whilst we deplore the Russian aggression on Ukraine, we can advise that Zwipe has no ongoing business in Russia or Ukraine and is not impacted by the war.
All in all, our long-term optimism has only been strengthened with another solid quarter. We firmly believe that millions of consumers everywhere will be using Zwipe enabled biometric payment and access cards in the years to come.
