Item 5.02 Appointment of New Director

     (d)  On June 16, 2006, the board of directors was increased to five
persons and Robert Lang was appointed a director to fill the vacancy created
by the increase in the number of directors.  Mr. Lang was also appointed to
the audit and compensation committees.



     In connection with his appointment as an outside director, Trycera
granted to Mr. Lang options to purchase 25,000 shares of Trycera's common
stock; and for accepting appointment to the audit and compensation
committees, he received options to purchase a total of 20,000 shares.  These
ten-year options were issued under Trycera's 2004 Stock Option/Stock Issuance
Plan and are exercisable at $1.00 per share, which the board determined to be
the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant.  The options
vest at the rate of one-quarter of the total options granted at the end of
every three months.  These securities to be issued to Mr. Lang will not be
registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the
United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from
registration requirements.

     Mr. Lang has been the Vice-President, Capital Markets for The Irvine
Company, LLC, a company developing, acquiring and operating investment
properties and residential land development, since August 2000.  From April
1998 to July 2000, Mr. Lang was Vice-President, Public Finance for J.P.
Morgan Securities, Inc.  Mr. Lang received his Bachelor of Arts in Political
Economy from University of California at Berkeley in 1989 and his Master's
Degree in Public Policy from Harvard University in 1992.  Mr. Lang is 37
years old.

     In connection with the appointment of Mr. Lang as a new director,
Trycera issued a press release on June 22, 2006, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
