Item 3.01.    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On August 16, 2012, Identive Group, Inc. (the "Company"), received a deficiency letter (the "Notification Letter") from The NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") notifying the Company that it no longer meets NASDAQ's requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule") because the minimum bid price of the Company's common stock has not equaled or exceeded $1.00 at least once over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The Notification Letter does not impact the Company's listing on the NASDAQ Global Market at this time and the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "INVE."

NASDAQ explained in the Notification Letter that under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will be afforded 180 calendar days, or until February 12, 2013, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by February 12, 2013, NASDAQ will provide written notification to the Company that the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Global Market. The Company may, however, be eligible for an additional grace period of 180 calendar days if it transfers its shares to the NASDAQ Capital Market and satisfies the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards (with the exception of the Bid Price Rule) for listing on the NASDAQ Global Market, and submits a timely notification to NASDAQ of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split of the shares of its Common Stock, if necessary. The Company may also appeal NASDAQ's delisting determination to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel.

The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its common stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the NASDAQ requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with NASDAQ's continued listing requirements.
