Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On April 2, 2024, Identiv, Inc. (“Identiv”), entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Hawk Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby, Identiv will sell its physical security business (the “Physical Security Business”) to Buyer through the sale of certain of its assets, including all outstanding shares of Identiv Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Identiv, in exchange for $145 million (the “Purchase Price”), subject to customary adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and the assumption of certain liabilities related to the Physical Security Business (collectively, the “Stock and Asset Sale”).

The completion of the Stock and Asset Sale and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”) is subject to customary conditions, including, (1) the approval of the Stock and Asset Sale by Identiv stockholders (the “Stockholder Approval”), (2) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (3) the absence of any order that has the effect of enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the completion of the Stock and Asset Sale, (4) each party’s representations and warranties being true and correct as of the Closing, (5) each party’s material compliance with agreements, covenants and conditions, (6) obtaining clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, (7) obtaining approval under the United Kingdom National Security and Investment Act 2021, and (8) delivery of the Purchase Price. The Closing is not subject to the approval of Buyer’s stockholders or the receipt of financing by Buyer. Certain of Buyer’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement are guaranteed by Vitaprotech SAS.

The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of Identiv and Buyer, including covenants to use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Between the date of execution of the Purchase Agreement and the Closing, Identiv has agreed to conduct its and its subsidiaries’ business in the ordinary course of business and in a manner consistent with past practice and to comply with certain operating covenants.

Identiv also has agreed not to, and not to authorize, and to use reasonable best efforts not to permit, any of its representatives to solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage any third-party alternative acquisition proposals and has agreed to certain restrictions on its and its representatives’ ability to respond to any such proposals. Prior to the Stockholder Approval and subject to certain notice and other specified conditions, Identiv’s board of directors (the “Board”) may, in connection with a superior proposal (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), withdraw its recommendation in favor of adoption of the Purchase Agreement or terminate the Purchase Agreement to enter into a definitive Purchase Agreement providing for such superior proposal if, in each case, the Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties. Prior to the Stockholder Approval and subject to certain notice and other specified conditions, the Board also may withdraw its recommendation in favor of adoption of the Purchase Agreement (but not terminate the Purchase Agreement) if, in connection with a material event or circumstance (other than an inquiry or proposal with respect to an alternative acquisition transaction) that was not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Board (or if known or reasonably foreseeable, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Board) as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, it determines in good faith that a failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties.

The Purchase Agreement includes termination provisions for both Identiv and Buyer. The Purchase Agreement provides that Identiv will be required to pay Buyer a termination fee equal to $5.075 million if the Purchase Agreement is terminated (i) by Identiv to enter into an agreement in respect of a superior proposal as described above, (ii) by Buyer prior to the Stockholder Approval if the Board (A) withdraws its recommendation in favor of the adoption of the Purchase Agreement, (B) fails to include its recommendation in favor of the adoption of the Purchase Agreement in the proxy statement for the transaction, (C) fails to publicly reaffirm its recommendation in favor of the adoption of the Purchase Agreement in certain circumstances or fails to recommend against an alternative transaction that is a tender offer or exchange offer or (D) adopts or recommends a third-party alternative acquisition proposal (collectively, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), (iii) by either party if the closing conditions are not fulfilled by the outside date defined in the Purchase Agreement, at a time where Buyer could terminate for an Adverse Recommendation Change or (iv) by either party due to the failure to obtain the Stockholder Approval at the stockholders meeting for such approval (including any adjournments and postponements thereof) and (x) an alternative acquisition proposal is made by a third party after the date of the Purchase Agreement and not withdrawn prior to the termination of the Purchase Agreement and (y) Identiv enters into a definitive agreement to consummate a third-party alternative acquisition proposal. Additionally, the Purchase Agreement provides that Identiv will reimburse Buyer’s expenses incurred in connection with the transaction up to a cap of $3.0 million in the aggregate in the event the Purchase Agreement is terminated by either party due to the failure to obtain the Stockholder Approval at the stockholders meeting for such approval (including any adjournments and postponements thereof).

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing summary has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Identiv, Buyer or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, which were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specified dates. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, as well as by information contained in each party’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Identiv, Buyer or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Identiv’s public disclosures.

Voting and Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, certain funds affiliated with Bleichroeder LP (the “Bleichroeder Holders”), entered into a voting and support agreement with Buyer (the “Voting and Support Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Bleichroeder Holders agreed, in their capacities as holders of shares of Identiv’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and Series B convertible preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), to vote all shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Bleichroeder Holders at the time of the stockholder vote on the Stock and Asset Sale in favor of adoption of the Purchase Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, including the Stock and Asset Sale, and any other matter necessary to consummate such transactions, and not to vote in favor of, or tender their shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock into, any competing offer or acquisition proposal. In addition, the Bleichroeder Holders waived appraisal rights and provided an irrevocable proxy to Buyer to vote in favor of the Stock and Asset Sale, including by voting for the adoption of the Purchase Agreement. As of the date of the Voting and Support Agreement, an aggregate of 2,884,495 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, representing approximately 12.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and 100% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, are subject to the Voting and Support Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Voting and Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting and Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Ancillary Agreements

At the Closing, the parties intend to enter into certain additional agreements, including (i) a transition services agreement, pursuant to which each party will provide certain services of a transitional nature to the other party, and (ii) a trademark license, pursuant to which Identiv will grant Buyer an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, non-sublicensable and non-transferable (subject to certain exceptions), royalty-free, worldwide license to the “Identiv” trademark solely in connection with Buyer’s operation of the Physical Security Business, among others.

(b) Closing Statement. As promptly as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, and deliver to Seller a final written Closing statement (the “Final Closing Statement”), prepared in accordance with this Section 2.7), setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of (A) the Closing Date Indebtedness, (B) the Closing Date Selling Expenses, (C) the Closing Date Cash, (D) the Closing Date Working Capital, (E) the difference between the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital and the Closing Date Working Capital, and (F) the adjustment required to be made to the Purchase Price, if any, resulting from the foregoing calculations (the adjustment determined in accordance with this Section 2.7, the “Closing Adjustment”) together with reasonable supporting documentation.

Section 2.8 Review and Dispute Procedure.

(a) Seller shall have thirty (30) days after Buyer delivers the Final Closing Statement (the “Dispute Period”), to dispute in writing any of the elements of or amounts reflected on the Final Closing Statement, including the resulting Closing Adjustment (a “Dispute”). During the Dispute Period and in the course of resolving any Dispute, if any, each Party shall make the applicable working papers and any other information necessary to the other Party to the extent reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Final Closing Statement and the resolution of any Dispute; it being understood that the Dispute Period shall be extended as appropriate to the extent that Buyer does not fulfill such obligation. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and its Representatives in Seller’s examination of the Final Closing Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision of any information or access pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) will be subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings and, if applicable, execution of customary release letters in favor of the auditors as requested by the auditors in connection with the sharing of work papers.

(b) If Seller does not give written notice to Buyer of a Dispute (a “Dispute Notice”) within the Dispute Period, the Final Closing Statement shall be deemed accepted and agreed to by the Parties in the form in which it was delivered by Buyer, and all amounts set forth therein shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

(c) If Seller wishes to assert a Dispute, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Dispute Notice within the Dispute Period, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the elements and amounts with which it disagrees and the reasons therefor. Following the delivery of the Dispute Notice, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Dispute and agree in writing upon the final content of the disputed Final Closing Statement.

29

(d) If Buyer and Seller fail to agree on the Final Closing Statement within fifteen (15) days after Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer, Seller and Buyer shall submit to the Verification Accountant any disputed matters identified in the Dispute Notice that remain unresolved at such time. As promptly as practicable thereafter, Buyer and Seller shall each prepare and submit a presentation to the Verification Accountant (with a substantially contemporaneous copy to the other Party). As soon as practicable thereafter, Buyer and Seller shall cause the Verification Accountant to determine any disputed matters submitted to it based solely on the presentations by Seller and Buyer. In reaching its determination, the only alternatives available to the Verification Accountant shall be to (i) accept the position of Seller, (ii) accept the position of Buyer, or (iii) accept a position between those two positions.

(e) The Verification Accountant shall apply the Accounting Principles and the terms of this Agreement and based thereon the Verification Accountant shall decide on the issues in dispute. The Verification Accountant shall, with respect to any item that forms a part of the Dispute, make a determination that is within the range for such item proposed by Buyer and Seller. The Verification Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall not decide any legal issues. The parties shall request the Verification Accountant to deliver its decision to them with respect to the entire Dispute within thirty (30) days after having been appointed. The determination by the Verification Accountant shall be final and binding upon the Parties, except in case of manifest error or fraud, in which case the determination made by the Verification Accountant shall be remitted to the Verification Accountant for correction. The Verification Accountant shall not be entitled to conduct any independent or de novo review of any aspect of any disputed amounts or the related Final Closing Statement in connection with reaching its determination on such matters. Each of Seller and Buyer will bear its own legal, accounting, and other fees and expenses of participating in the dispute resolution procedure set forth in this Section 2.8. The fees and expenses of the Verification Accountant (i) will be borne by Seller in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the items included in the Dispute submitted thereto for resolution that are unsuccessfully disputed by Seller (as finally determined by the Verification Accountant) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items included in the Dispute and (ii) will be borne by Buyer in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the items included in the Dispute submitted thereto for resolution that are successfully disputed by Seller (as finally determined by the Verification Accountant) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items include in the Dispute; provided, that any initial engagement fee of the Verification Accountant shall initially be borne equally between Buyer and Seller and reallocated upon the Verification Accountants final determination.

(f) The Final Closing Statement shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 2.8 upon the earliest of: (x) the acceptance by Seller of the Final Closing Statement delivered by Buyer or the failure of Seller to deliver to Buyer a Dispute Notice within the Dispute Period; (y) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.8, by Seller and Buyer; and (z) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 2.8, by the Verification Accountant (the “Determination Date”). The Final Closing Statement shall include the final determination of (i) the Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Final Closing Date Indebtedness”), (ii) the Closing Date Selling Expenses (the “Final Closing Date Selling Expenses”), (iii) the Closing Date Cash (the “Final Closing Date Cash”), (iv) the Closing Date Working Capital (the “Final Closing Date Working Capital”), and (v) the Purchase Price, which, as finally determined, shall be an amount equal to (1) (A) the Base Purchase Price, minus (B) the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, minus (C) the Final Closing Date Selling Expenses, plus (D) the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Upper Collar, minus (E) the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Lower Collar.

30

(g) Upon final determination of the Purchase Price as described in Section 2.8, (x) if the Purchase Price is greater than the Initial Purchase Price, then Buyer shall pay to Seller (to one or more accounts designated by Seller) within ten (10) Business Days of the Determination Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the difference between the Purchase Price and the Initial Purchase Price, and (y) if the Purchase Price is less than the Initial Purchase Price, then Seller shall pay to Buyer (to one or more accounts designated by Buyer) within ten (10) Business Days of the Determination Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the difference between the Purchase Price and the Initial Purchase Price.

Section 2.9 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) Buyer shall deliver a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (including any Assumed Liabilities and other relevant amounts properly treated as consideration for the Purchased Assets and the Acquired Entity for U.S. federal Tax purposes) among (i) the Acquired Entity and (ii) all other Purchased Equity Interests and the Purchased Assets at least three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Purchase Price Allocation”). If Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to any allocation set forth thereon, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (including any Assumed Liabilities and other relevant amounts properly treated as consideration for the Purchased Assets and the Acquired Entity for U.S. federal Tax purposes) among the Purchased Equity Interests and the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation Schedule”); provided, that the Allocation Schedule shall be consistent with the Pre-Closing Purchase Price Allocation. If, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule, Buyer notifies Seller in writing that Buyer objects to any allocation set forth thereon, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection. In the event that Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s notification of such objection, Buyer and Seller shall jointly retain the Verification Accountant to resolve the disputed items. The Verification Accountant shall consider only those items and amounts in the Allocation Schedule that are identified as being items and amounts to which Buyer and Seller have been unable to agree. The Verification Accountant shall finally and conclusively resolve any dispute relating to matters set forth in this Section 2.9 within thirty (30) days following receipt of the submission. Upon resolution of the disputed items, the Allocation Schedule shall be adjusted to reflect such resolution. The fees, costs and expenses of the Verification Accountant will be allocated to and borne in inverse proportion to the relative extent to which Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, prevail on the disagreements resolved by the Verification Accountant. Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule unless otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code and shall not otherwise take any position for Tax purposes in a manner inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The Parties agree to notify each other with respect to the initiation of any Proceeding by any Governmental Authority relating to the Allocation Schedule and agree to consult with each other with respect to any such Proceeding by any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that neither Party shall be unreasonably impeded in its ability and discretion to negotiate, compromise or settle any Tax audit, claim or similar proceedings in connection with the allocation.

31

Section 2.10 Withholding. Buyer and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to Seller or any other Person such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable provision of Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Tax resulting from the transfer of the Acquired Entity. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

72

will have considered in good faith any such binding offer, and will have determined, after consultation with its financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that Seller Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Seller Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed in such binding offer were to be given effect, and (4) in the event of any material change to the terms of such Seller Superior Proposal, Seller will, in each case, again comply with this Section 6.2(d) and will have delivered to Buyer an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (1) above and the notice period will have recommenced (except that the notice period will be at least two (2) Business Days rather than the four (4) Business Days otherwise contemplated by clause (1) above).

(e) Prior to the time the Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Seller Board also may effect a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change if and only if: (i) the Seller Board or any duly authorized committee thereof has determined, after consultation with its financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Seller Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (ii) such action is not in response to the receipt, existence of or terms of a Seller Takeover Proposal or a Seller Superior Proposal or any inquiry related thereto or the consequences thereof (which is governed by Section 6.2(c)); (iii) such action is in response to a material development, fact, change, event, effect, occurrence or circumstance that is not known or reasonably foreseeable, or, if known or reasonably foreseeable, the consequences of which are not known or reasonably foreseeable, to the Seller Board as of the date hereof and becomes known to the Seller Board prior to the time of Stockholder Approval (excluding any Inquiry, Seller Takeover Proposal or Seller Superior Proposal, the “Intervening Event”); and (iv) prior to taking such action, (A) Seller Board has given Buyer at least four (4) days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which notice will describe the Intervening Event and the basis for such intended Seller Adverse Recommendation Change in reasonable detail, (B) unless Buyer indicates in writing to Seller that it does not wish to negotiate, Seller has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Buyer during such notice period after giving any such notice to enable Buyer to propose in writing an offer binding on Buyer to effect revisions to the terms of this Agreement, and (C) at the end of such notice period, Seller Board or any duly authorized committee thereof will have considered in good faith any such binding offer, and will have determined, based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that failure to make such Seller Adverse Recommendation Change due to the Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Seller Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 or in Section 6.11 will prohibit Seller or the Seller Board from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any other disclosure to Seller’s stockholders if, in Seller Board’s determination in good faith after consultation with outside counsel, such disclosure is required under applicable Law, or (ii) issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act; provided, that, (x) any disclosures made as permitted in clause (i) of this Section 6.2(f) shall be deemed to be a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Seller Board expressly publicly reaffirms Seller Board Recommendation in connection with such disclosure.

73

(g) Seller will promptly request each Person that has executed a confidentiality agreement prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of an acquisition of Seller return or destroy all confidential information furnished to such Person prior to the date of this Agreement by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Representatives and Seller will immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access for any such Person and any of its Representatives to diligence or other information regarding Seller. If any such Person requests a waiver of the standstill provision of any such agreement, Seller will only waive such standstill provisions if and to the extent that the Seller Board has determined, after consultation with its financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Seller Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 6.3 Preparation of Proxy Statement.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.3, and in any event, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Seller will prepare, after reasonable consultation with Buyer, and cause to be filed with the SEC a proxy statement in preliminary form relating to the Stockholders’ Meeting (such proxy statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). Subject to Section 6.2, the Proxy Statement will contain Seller Board Recommendation. Buyer will furnish all information concerning Buyer and their respective Affiliates as Seller or its Representatives may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement. Buyer and Seller will each use commercially reasonable efforts to have the SEC confirm that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing. Seller will use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of Seller as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date on which the SEC confirms that it does not plan to review or it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement. Seller shall cooperate with and keep Buyer informed on a reasonably current basis regarding its solicitation efforts and voting results following dissemination of the definitive Proxy Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller will not file the Proxy Statement or any other required filing in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement without providing Buyer and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document.

(b) Seller will, as promptly as reasonably practicable, notify Buyer of (i) the receipt of any comments from the SEC and all other written correspondence and oral communications with the SEC relating to the Proxy Statement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or for additional information with respect thereto, and, in each case, shall provide Buyer with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or any other related filing or the transactions contemplated hereunder.

(c) Except with respect to any disclosure or communication that relates to a Seller Takeover Proposal or a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change, Seller will provide Buyer a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement or any response to comments received from the SEC in respect thereof (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and will consider in good faith any comments thereon made by Buyer or its counsel; provided, that any statement regarding Buyer or any of its Affiliates contained in such documents or responses shall require the prior written consent of Buyer.

74

(d) Seller agrees, as to itself and its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity), that none of the information included by it or any of its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact. If, at any time prior to the receipt of Stockholder Approval, any information relating to Seller or Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by Seller or Buyer which, in the reasonable judgment of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement, so that any of such documents would not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Proxy Statement and, to the extent required by applicable Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the stockholders of Seller. Nothing in this Section 6.3(d) shall limit the rights or obligations of any party under any other paragraph of this Section 6.3.

(e) All documents that Seller is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder will comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

Section 6.4 Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) Subject to Section 6.2, following the time the SEC indicates it will not review or have any further comments with respect to the Proxy Statement (or if no communication is received from the SEC indicating it intends to review, as soon as permitted by applicable Law), Seller will take all actions necessary in accordance with applicable Law, Seller’s organizational documents and the rules of Nasdaq to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable following the twentieth (20th) Business Day following mailing of the Proxy Statement to Seller stockholders, but in no event later than the thirtieth (30) Business Day following such mailing of the Proxy Statement. Seller shall provide Buyer with notice of the Stockholder’s Meeting as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller may, in consultation with Buyer, and shall, at the written request of Buyer, adjourn or postpone the Stockholders’ Meeting (i) to the extent required by applicable Law or if, after consultation with Buyer, Seller determines such adjournment or postponement necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the stockholders of Seller within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Stockholders’ Meeting if such disclosure is determined by Seller in good faith after consultation with outside counsel to be required to be provided to the stockholders of Seller, (ii) if as of the time for which the Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Seller common stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Stockholders’ Meeting, or (iii) to solicit additional proxies if necessary to obtain Stockholder Approval; provided, however,

75

that, unless otherwise agreed to by each of Buyer and Seller, (x) with respect to each of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), the Stockholders’ Meeting will not be adjourned or postponed in connection with any one adjournment or postponement to a date that is more than thirty (30) days in the aggregate without Buyer’s prior written consent and in no event shall any adjournment or postponement be to a date that is fewer than thirteen (13) Business Days prior to the Outside Date). Subject to the express provisions of Section 6.2 regarding a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change, Seller shall (i) recommend that Seller’s stockholders adopt this Agreement at Stockholders’ Meeting and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Stockholder Approval, including soliciting proxies therefor.

(b) Seller shall keep Buyer informed with respect to proxy solicitation results and shall provide such information and reasonable cooperation as Buyer may reasonably request in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Seller shall remain obligated to provide the information and cooperation described in the immediately preceding sentence and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders Meeting and mail the Proxy Statement (and any amendment or supplement thereto that maybe required by applicable Law) to Seller’s stockholders in accordance with Section 6.3 and this Section 6.4, notwithstanding any Seller Adverse Recommendation Change.

(c) Nothing in this Section 6.4 will be deemed to prevent Seller or the Seller Board or any duly authorized committee thereof from taking any action permitted by Section 6.2.

Section 6.5 Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) to, (a) afford Buyer and its Representatives and its Debt Financing Sources reasonable access to and the right to inspect all of the real property, properties, assets, premises, books and records, Assigned Contracts and other documents and data related to the Business, Acquired Entity, Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities; (b) furnish Buyer and its Representatives with such financial, operating and other data and information related to the Business, Acquired Entity, Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities as Buyer or any of its Representatives and its Debt Financing Sources may reasonably request; and (c) instruct the Representatives of Seller and its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) to cooperate with Buyer in its investigation of the Business, Acquired Entity, Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that any such investigation shall be conducted during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to Seller, under the supervision of Seller’s personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere with the conduct of the Business or any other businesses of Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be required to disclose any information to Buyer if such disclosure would, in Seller’s sole discretion: (x) jeopardize any attorney-client or other privilege; (y) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement; or (z) reveal bids received from third parties in connection with transactions similar to those contemplated by this Agreement and any information and analysis (including financial analysis) relating to such bids; provided, that (i) Seller agrees to, or shall cause its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) to, provide notice to Buyer if any information is being withheld on such basis and (ii) Seller or its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any such information in a manner that would not result in the disclosure of privileged information or information that would result in competitive harm or

76

violation of Law or contractual obligations and shall, to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable, make appropriate substitute arrangements under the circumstances described in foregoing clauses (x) through (y). Prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld for any reason, Buyer shall not contact any suppliers to, or customers of, the Business (other than in the ordinary course of business and unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Buyer shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to any access or information provided pursuant to this Section 6.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall be permitted to disclose Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) to Buyer’s prospective Debt Financing Sources, subject to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement. The parties hereto agree that, in connection with the transfer or other Processing of Personal Information, each party shall materially comply with its respective obligations under any applicable Privacy Laws.

Section 6.6 Books and Records.

(a) For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, Seller hereby agrees to, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) to, retain all financial records and other books and records, in each case to the extent specifically related to the Business, and to make the same available after the Closing Date for inspection and copying by Buyer or its agents, at Buyer’s expense and upon reasonable request.

(b) Following the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, keep confidential and not divulge to any third party any Business Confidential Information except for disclosures subject to comparable confidentiality restrictions for the purpose of or in support of Seller’s exercise of its retained rights under this Agreement and Ancillary Agreements; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to disclosures made by Seller or any of its Affiliates (i) only to the extent necessary to comply with any Law (provided, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing in advance of such disclosure, if legally permissible and reasonably possible, so that Buyer or its Affiliates may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer or its Affiliates in connection therewith) or (ii) with respect to (A) litigation or potential litigation, (B) the making of, or defense against, a claim for indemnification, and (C) the performance under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 6.7 Reasonable Efforts; Governmental Approvals and Consents.

(a) Prior to the Closing, (i) Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 to be satisfied on a timely basis, and (ii) Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 to be satisfied on a timely basis.

Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates in

77

promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. The parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of materially delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. If required by the HSR Act and if the appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act has not been filed prior to the date hereof, each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof and to supply as promptly as practicable and advisable to the appropriate Governmental Authority any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Buyer’s undertakings pursuant to this Section 6.7, Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts and to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement as are required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and its affiliates shall have no obligation to take any action or consent to any condition that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the benefits Buyer expects to receive from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings (excluding any filings submitted pursuant to the HSR Act or NSI Act), arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of either party before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between Seller or Buyer with Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted by Law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to the other party hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each party shall give notice to the other party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact.

It is in the intention of the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 6.8 is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 6.8 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such Law.

Section 6.9 Tax Matters.

(a) Allocation of Straddle Period Taxes.

(i) Any property and ad valorem or similar Taxes on the Purchased Assets or Purchased Equity Interests for any Straddle Period shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days in such Straddle Period that occur on or before the Closing Date, on the one hand, and the number of days in such period that occur after the Closing Date, on the other hand. Seller shall be allocated all such Taxes that are attributable to any Taxable period, or such portion of any Straddle Period, ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall be allocated all such Taxes that are attributable to any Taxable period, or such portion of any Straddle Period, beginning after the Closing Date. The proration of such Taxes shall be based upon the assessed valuation and Tax rate figures (assuming, if consistent with Seller’s past practice with respect to the Business, payment at the earliest time to allow for the maximum possible discount) for the Tax period in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, however, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of such property or for the Tax rate) for the Tax period in which the Closing occurs are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using the estimated Taxes for the Tax period in which the Closing occurs. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the current year’s final Tax or assessment bill for the Purchased Assets, Buyer or Seller shall deliver a copy to the other Party and Buyer shall refund to Seller any amount overpaid by Seller, or Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of any deficiency in the proration.

(ii) Other than Taxes subject to Section 6.9(a)(i), Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any entity that is relevant to determining Tax liabilities for which any person will be responsible, shall be deemed to terminate at that time, with the effect that any Taxes that are attributable to economic activity occurring on or prior to the Closing Date will be considered attributable to and will be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period); provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the post-Closing period in proportion to the number of days in each period.

80

(b) Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Seller and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as may be reasonably requested of the other in filing any Tax Return, determining a Liability for Taxes or participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes. Each of Seller and Buyer shall make themselves (and their respective employees during normal business hours) reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Seller shall provide Buyer a list of the customers of Seller and its Controlled Affiliates with respect to the Business who are resellers and end users for purposes of complying with the relevant sales and use taxes requirements in the relevant U.S. states.

(c) Certain Indian Tax. Seller shall take all actions and pay all Taxes payable by Seller or its Controlled Affiliates such that Buyer is not treated as a “representative assessee” with respect to Seller or the Acquired Entity under the Indian IT Act.

(d) Tax Treatment of Payments. Seller and Buyer shall treat any purchase price adjustments made pursuant to this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for income Tax purposes unless applicable Tax Law causes such payment not to be so treated.

Section 6.10 Termination of Transactions with Affiliates. Except (a) as requested by Buyer, (b) as otherwise provided herein, and (c) for the Ancillary Agreements, (i) at or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall take, and cause its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) to take, all necessary actions, to cause all Contracts, commitments, transactions, Liabilities or obligations between Seller and any of its Affiliates, to the extent they would constitute Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, including all Affiliate Contracts, to be terminated and cancelled without any further Liability; and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Seller has taken, and has caused its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) to take, all necessary action to terminate and settle all accounts (payable and receivables) between Seller and any of its Controlled Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Acquired Entity, on the other hand with no Liability imposed or thereafter existing on Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity), and no increased in any Assumed Liability.

Section 6.11 Publicity. Other than the Current Report on Form 8-K which Seller expects to file with the SEC in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a draft of which Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on and Seller shall reasonably consider any comments timely provided by Buyer), neither Seller nor Buyer, nor any of their respective Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or disclose or otherwise make available to the public terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the sole judgment of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, disclosure is (i) otherwise required by applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which such Party or its Affiliates lists securities or (ii) repetitive of disclosure set forth in the Current Report on Form 8-K; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable Law, the Party or Parties intending to make such release shall, as permitted by

81

applicable Law, consult with the other Party or Parties with respect to the timing and content thereof. Nothing in this Section 6.11 will restrict (i) Buyer’s or any of its Affiliates’ ability to disclose information to Buyer’s, or any of its Affiliates’, lenders, direct or indirect investors, or prospective lenders or investors and (ii) Seller’s ability to disclose any information with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act, each, as amended, including in connection with any disclosure that may be from time to time required with respect to an offering, sale or issuance of Seller securities.

Section 6.12 Wrong Pocket Assets.

(a) Subject to Section 3.3, if any Purchased Asset, including any payment in respect of accounts receivable that are included in the Purchased Assets, is received by, comes into the possession of, or otherwise remains vested in or in the possession of Seller or any of its Affiliates following the Closing, Seller shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to) transfer such Purchased Asset as soon as reasonably practicable to Buyer or its designee for no additional consideration (it being acknowledged and agreed that Buyer shall have already paid full consideration for all Purchased Assets). Seller shall notify Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware that there are any Purchased Assets in its possession or control or that of any Affiliate of Seller.

(b) If any Excluded Asset, including any payment in respect of accounts receivable that are included in the Excluded Assets, is received by, comes into the possession of, or otherwise is vested in or in possession of Buyer or any of its Affiliates following the Closing, Buyer shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to) transfer such Excluded Asset as soon as reasonably practicable to Seller or its designee for no consideration (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Parties have not agreed to sell any Excluded Asset). Buyer shall notify Seller as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware that there are any Excluded Assets in its possession or control or that of any Affiliate of Buyer.

(c) Each party will cooperate with the other Party and use its commercially reasonable efforts to set up procedures and notifications as are reasonably necessary or advisable to effectuate the assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery contemplated by this Section 6.12.

Section 6.13 Employees and Employment Benefit Matters.

(a) Seller will deliver to Buyer an updated Business Employee Census at least once every month after the date hereof, with any updates to such Business Employee Census to be subject to Buyer’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), except that Buyer’s consent shall not be required to reflect voluntary departures, or departures due to death or disability, and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement. No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller will provide a final Business Employee Census reflecting all departures, in accordance with this Section 6.13(a), or other changes to the Business’ workforce (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement) (the “Final Service Provider Census”). At or prior to the Closing, Buyer shall make offers of employment to all Business Employees listed on the Final Service Provider Census (other than any Inactive Business Employee), conditioned on such Business Employee (i) satisfying Buyer’s standard policies regarding eligibility and terms

82

and conditions of employment, and (ii) satisfactorily completing Buyer’s standard hiring procedures (which, in each case, shall be established by Buyer following the date hereof based on such industry standards customarily applied in the ordinary course and shall not, in any material respect, be more burdensome than the analogous Seller procedure in effect as of the date hereof) (any such Business Employee who accepts an offer for post-Closing employment, a “Retained Employee” and collectively with each Acquired Entity Employee, a “Transferred Employee”). Each offer of employment to a Business Employee shall provide, for a base salary or wage rate (as applicable) and an annual target cash incentive opportunity, each of which are no less favorable than those provided to such Business Employee by Seller immediately prior to the Adjustment Time. Each Inactive Business Employee (if any) shall remain an employee of Seller as of the Closing and if such Inactive Business Employee is, within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date (or such longer period required by applicable Law), returns to active service, Seller shall promptly inform Buyer in writing, and Buyer shall make an offer of employment to such Inactive Business Employee, which shall be on the same terms as if such Inactive Business Employee had not been an Inactive Business Employee as of the Closing. Any Inactive Business Employee who accepts an offer of employment from Buyer shall be treated as a Retained Employee for purposes of this Section 6.13 as of the date that they commence employment with Buyer.

(b) For a period of at least twelve (12) months following the Closing Date or, if shorter, the applicable Transferred Employee’s period of employment with Buyer (the “Continuation Period”), Buyer shall (or shall cause its designated Affiliate) to provide each Transferred Employee with (i) an annual base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and annual target cash incentive opportunities, each of which are no less favorable than those provided to each such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) health and welfare benefits (excluding any post-employment welfare, defined benefit pension and deferred compensation and severance benefits (which, in the case of severance benefits are addressed in Section 6.13(b)(iii)) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to either those provided (x) by Buyer to its similarly situated employees or (y) by Seller to the Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion, and (iii) severance benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by Buyer to its similarly situated employees (except that with respect to Transferred Employees not primarily employed in the United States and identified on Section 6.13(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, each such Transferred Employee’s severance benefits shall take into account such employee’s seniority for purposes of determining eligibility and the amount of the severance benefits required by applicable Law (the “Statutory Severance”)); provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit the right of Buyer to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee at any time.

(c) With respect to any 401(k) plan or any other tax qualified retirement plan or health and welfare plan maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates in which any Transferred Employee will participate, Buyer shall or shall cause its designated Affiliate to use commercially reasonable efforts to give the Transferred Employee service credit (and to the extent applicable to Statutory Severance, seniority) for all periods of employment with Seller or the Acquired Entity prior to the Closing Date, to the same extent as service credit (or seniority, as applicable) was given by Seller immediately prior to the Closing Date, for purposes of vesting and eligibility to participate (and with respect to seniority for purposes of Statutory Severance); provided, however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (i) such recognition would result in a

83

duplication of benefits or (ii) Seller does not provide Buyer with the necessary information or documentation to enable Buyer to provide such credit. Further, for purposes of clarity, in no event will any service credit be provided for any retiree medical, severance (except with respect to the Statutory Severance), or defined benefit pension plan accruals.

(d) Buyer shall or shall cause its designated Affiliate to use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any pre-existing condition exclusion, actively-at-work requirement or waiting period under all employee health and other welfare benefit plans established or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for the benefit of the Transferred Employees, except to the extent such pre-existing condition, exclusion, requirement or waiting period would have applied to such individual under the Seller Employee Plan, and (ii) provide full credit for any co-payments, deductibles or similar payments made or incurred prior to the Closing Date for the plan year in which the Closing occurs, in each case provided that Seller provides Buyer with the necessary information or documentation to enable Buyer to do so.

(e) Buyer shall or shall cause its designated Affiliate to use commercially reasonable efforts to permit each Transferred Employee who participants in any Seller Employee Plan intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (each a “Seller 401(k) Plan”) to elect direct roll overs of any eligible distributions under the Seller 401(k) Plan (including any outstanding participant loans) to a 401(k) plan or any other tax-qualified retirement plan sponsored or maintained by Buyer or its designated Affiliate, in each case, in accordance with the applicable terms of the Seller 401(k) Plan.

(f) Buyer shall bear any costs related to any claims made by any Business Employee for any severance payments and benefits (which severance payments and benefits will be provided to such Business Employee in accordance with the Seller’s or its applicable Affiliate’s past practices as set forth on Section 4.20(a) of the Disclosure Schedule) (including the employer portion of any employment Taxes) due to Seller’s termination of such Business Employee within thirty (30) days following the Closing arising out of Buyer’s failure to make offers of employment that complied with the requirements of Section 6.13(a) to any Business Employee it was required to make an offer to.

(g) Seller shall be responsible for all vacation time that is accrued and unused by any Retained Employee as of the Closing Date and shall pay to each Retained Employee an amount equal to such Retained Employee’s accrued, unused vacation time or paid time off, including any associated Taxes, in connection with the Closing and within the time period required by applicable Law.

(h) Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to each Transferred Employee who remains employed through the Closing Date, a pro-rated payment in respect of each Employee Plan set forth on Section 6.13(h) of the Disclosure Schedule providing for an annual (or other short-term) cash bonus and/or commission opportunity and which has a performance period that is ongoing as of the Closing (the “Cash Incentive Plans”). The amount (if any) of the payment to be made by Seller in accordance with the foregoing shall be determined based upon actual performance achieved as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the applicable Cash Incentive Plan (for these purposes, applying linear extrapolation through the end of the applicable performance period to the extent necessary) and multiplied by a quotient, the numerator of which

84

is equal to the number of calendar days elapsed between the first (1st) day of the applicable performance period and the Closing Date (inclusive of the Closing Date) and the denominator of which is equal to the number of days in the applicable performance period. Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, the amounts required by this Section 6.13(h) in accordance with its general payroll practices no later than thirty (30) days following the last day of the applicable performance period).

(i) With respect to each award related to the equity interests of the Seller or any of its Affiliates held by a Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing (each such award, a “Seller Equity Award”), the Seller and its Affiliates shall (i) take all action necessary to accelerate any vesting requirement and, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the settlement of each such Seller Equity Award, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) retain all Liabilities related thereto.

(j) The provisions of this Section 6.13 are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement, including any rights to continued employment or service with Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.13 to the contrary, nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Employee Plan, or any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Buyer to adopt or continue any specific employee benefit plans or to continue the employment of any specific person.

Section 6.14 Bulk Sales Laws. The parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Buyer; it being understood that any Liabilities arising out of the failure of Seller to comply with the requirements and provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction shall be Excluded Liabilities for all purposes hereunder.

Section 6.15 R&W Insurance Policy. Prior to the Closing, Buyer may elect to obtain and bind a R&W Insurance Policy. If Buyer elects to do so, Seller and its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s efforts and provide assistance as reasonably requested by the provider thereof and a copy of the Data Room as of the Closing Date, in each case, no later than five (5) Business Days following such date. Prior to the Closing, and assuming Buyer has obtained a R&W Insurance Policy, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid, fifty percent (50%) all costs and expenses related to such R&W Insurance Policy, including the total premium, underwriting costs, brokerage commissions and other fees and expenses of such policy (collectively, “RWI Fees”), the other fifty percent (50%) of which shall be borne by Seller as Closing Date Selling Expenses.

85

Section 6.16 Shared Contracts. To the extent that any Contract (i) that is a Purchased Asset, or (ii) to which the Acquired Entity is a party, in either (i) or (ii) contains any right or obligation that relates to any business of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates other than the Business, including any right of the counterparty to set-off amounts owed to the Business or Seller against amounts owed to such counterparty by Seller or its Affiliates with respect their businesses other than the Business (any Contract described in (i) or (ii), a “Shared Contract”), Seller and Buyer shall, and Seller shall cause its applicable Controlled Affiliates to, use their reasonable best efforts, including cooperating with the other Party, to amend, modify or split such Contract (including applicable collective bargaining agreements or Contracts with any applicable labor organization, union or association) such that the rights or obligations of such Contract to which Seller or its Controlled Affiliate is a party relate only to businesses of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates other than the Business or otherwise terminate or eliminate any obligations of Seller or its Controlled Affiliate with respect to the Business prior to Closing, or if not completed prior to Closing, as promptly as practicable thereafter.

Section 6.17 Debt Financing.

(a) Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to do (or cause to be done), all things necessary, proper or advisable to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter until the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated (it being understood that the Debt Commitment Letter may be replaced, amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time as provided below), (ii) negotiate definitive financing agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (taking into account any “market flex” provisions) or otherwise on terms that would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the availability of, or conditions to, the Debt Financing, so that such agreements are in effect no later than the Closing Date, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to the initial funding of the Debt Financing at Closing applicable to Buyer and under the control of Buyer in the Debt Commitment Letter and such definitive financing agreements and (iv) subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, consummate at Closing the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter to be funded at Closing in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter. Buyer shall keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of any material developments in its efforts to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing and promptly provide the Seller with copies of all executed amendments, modifications or replacements of any Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements for the Debt Financing entered into prior to Closing. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller if (A) the Debt Commitment Letter shall expire or be terminated, (B) for any reason, all or a portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter to be funded at Closing becomes unavailable to be funded at Closing, (C) Buyer receives or has knowledge that Buyer or any other party to the Debt Commitment Letter breaches or defaults under the Debt Commitment Letter in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Financing Adverse Impact, (D) Buyer receives any written notice or other written communication from any of the Debt Financing Sources party to the Debt Commitment Letter with respect to any termination or repudiation by such party to the Debt Commitment Letter and which termination or repudiation would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the conditionality, timing, availability or amount of the Debt Financing, or (E) Buyer becomes aware of the occurrence of any other event or development that would otherwise reasonably be expected to have a Financing Adverse Impact. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, (x) in no event will Buyer be under any obligation to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 6.17 that would waive the protection of attorney-client or other legal privilege or result in the violation of any applicable confidentiality

86

undertakings; provided, that, in such case, Buyer will, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law and/or such applicable confidentiality undertakings, provide notice to the Seller that such information is being withheld on such basis and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any such information in a manner that would not result in the disclosure of privileged information or information that would result in violation of contractual obligations and shall, to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable, make appropriate substitute arrangements under the circumstances described in foregoing clause (x). All information provided by Buyer or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.17 or otherwise in connection with the Debt Financing shall be kept confidential in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall not amend, waive or modify its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter, or replace all or any portion of the Debt Financing, in each case, in a manner that (1) would reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing contemplated to be funded at Closing to less than the Required Amount (taking into account any increase to the Equity Financing), (2) would impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially prevent, impair or delay the availability of the Debt Financing at Closing or (3) would reasonably be expected to materially prevent, impair or delay the availability of the Debt Financing at Closing or materially adversely affect Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement; provided, that it is understood and agreed that Buyer may amend, modify or waive its rights under, or replace, all or any portion of the Debt Financing so long as such amendment, modification, waiver or replacement does not violate the restrictions set forth in clause (1) through (3) above. In addition, Buyer shall take, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Equity Financing, including to (i) maintain in effect the Equity Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Buyer in such Equity Commitment Letter that are within its control and (iii) consummate the Equity Financing at Closing.

(c) If any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter to be funded at Closing becomes unavailable on the terms (after giving effect to the “market flex” provisions) and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, for any reason other than failure of the conditions in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 to be satisfied, Buyer shall (i) promptly notify the Seller of such unavailability and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly arrange for alternative financing (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount such that the aggregate amount of the Alternative Financing, when taken together with the aggregate amount of the Financing that is available, is at least equal to the Required Amount to replace such portion of the Debt Financing; provided, that nothing herein or in any other provision of this Agreement shall require, and in no event shall the commercially reasonable efforts of Buyer be deemed or construed to require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to (x) waive any term or condition of this Agreement, (y) pay fees or other amounts that, taken as a whole, exceed the aggregate fees and other amounts contemplated to be paid under the Debt Commitment Letter and any related fee letter as of the date of this Agreement or (z) seek any equity financing or equity commitment other than as provided in the Equity Commitment Letter. The Alternative Financing (1) shall be in an aggregate amount, when added with the aggregate amount of the Financing that is available, at least equal to the

87

Required Amount and (2) shall not impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or delay the availability of the Debt Financing at Closing. If applicable, any reference in this Agreement to “Debt Financing” shall include “Alternative Financing” and/or the Debt Financing as amended, modified, waived and/or replaced pursuant to Section 6.17(b) above and any reference to “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include the new financing commitment that provides for the relevant Alternative Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter as amended, modified or waived pursuant to Section 6.17(b) above and the debt commitment letter relating to any replacement of the Debt Financing permitted by Section 6.17(b) above. Buyer shall deliver to the Seller promptly upon the execution thereof true, correct and complete copies of any commitment letters or other material documentation with respect to any Alternative Financing (subject to redactions consistent with the definition of “Debt Commitment Letter”).

Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity), and each of their respective Representatives, from and against any and all liabilities, damages, claims, costs, expenses or losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the Debt Financing or providing the cooperation to Buyer contemplated by this Section 6.17(e), and any information utilized in connection therewith, except, in each case, to the extent such losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses arose from the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or actual fraud of, or breach of this Agreement by Seller, any of Seller’s Controlled Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Additionally, Buyer shall, promptly upon written request by Seller or any of Seller’s Controlled Affiliates, reimburse such party for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses to the extent such costs, fees and expenses are incurred by Seller, Seller or Seller’s Controlled Affiliates, and each of their respective Representatives in connection with providing the cooperation to Buyer contemplated by this Section 6.17(e). Seller, on behalf of itself and its Controlled Affiliates, hereby consents to use of its logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, that such logos shall be used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect Seller or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates. Buyer acknowledges that its obligations set forth herein are not contingent or conditioned upon the availability of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing and the failure of Buyer to obtain financing shall not, in and of itself, constitute the failure of Seller to comply with the covenants contained in this Section 6.17.

90

(f) Buyer will (i) reimburse Seller within ten (10) days after written request of Seller, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or otherwise payable by Seller in connection with its cooperation prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 6.17(d) (other than Seller’s obligation to deliver the regular annual and quarterly financial statements) and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees, attorneys, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing Persons (collectively, the “Financing Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, interests, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in complying with their obligations in connection with their cooperation with the arrangement of any Debt Financing pursuant to this Section 6.17, except to the extent such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement by any Financing Indemnified Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) In no event will Seller or any of its Affiliates (i) seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any of Buyer’s Debt Financing Sources or any of their respective Affiliates or their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees or agents (collectively, the “Financing Related Persons”) in respect of any debt commitment letter obtained by Buyer or definitive debt documentation in respect thereof or (ii) seek to enforce the commitments obtained by Buyer under any debt commitment letter or definitive debt documentation in respect thereof, make any claims for breach of such debt commitments, or seek to recover monetary damages from, or otherwise sue, any of Buyer’s Debt Financing Sources or any Financing Related Persons for any reason, including in connection with Buyer’s Debt Financing obtained to finance its obligations under this Agreement. Seller, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and Financing Indemnified Persons, hereby waive any and all claims and causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity) against any of Buyer’s Debt Financing Sources and/or any Financing Related Persons that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement and/or any Debt Financing obtained by Buyer in connection herewith (including any debt commitment letter or other definitive documentation for such Debt Financing). Nothing in this Section 6.17(g) will in any way limit or qualify the obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto to each other or in connection with, or otherwise restrict Buyer from enforcing its rights under, any debt commitment letter or other definitive documentation for any Debt Financing Source’s or Financing Related Person’s obligations under any confidentiality or similar agreement with Seller. For purposes of this Section 6.17(g), none of Buyer or its Affiliates shall be deemed a Financing Related Person.

(h) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered or cause to be delivered, to Buyer customary release documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer providing for the automatic and irrevocable release of the Business (including the Acquired Entity) from guarantee and/or Encumbrances under the Existing Indebtedness (collectively, the “Release Documentation”).

(a) The Parties shall submit to CFIUS a draft CFIUS Notice as soon as practicable following the date hereof, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the date hereof.

(b) The Parties shall promptly prepare a definitive CFIUS Notice that addresses all questions and comments received from CFIUS relating to the draft CFIUS Notice. The Parties shall submit the definitive CFIUS Notice to CFIUS promptly after the date on which they receive questions and comments on the draft CFIUS Notice or an indication that CFIUS has no questions or comments, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days following that date. The Parties shall promptly address any further questions and comments raised by CFIUS concerning the CFIUS Notice following its submission. The filing fee required by 31 C.F.R. § 800.1101 on or before the date on which the Parties submit the definitive CFIUS Notice shall be borne equally between Buyer and Seller.

(c) During the course of a CFIUS review or investigation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party shall provide any information requested by CFIUS or any other agency or branch of the U.S. government in connection with the review or investigation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, within the time period specified by 31 C.F.R. § 800.504(a)(4), or otherwise specified by CFIUS staff.

(d) Each Party shall, in connection with the best efforts to obtain the CFIUS Clearance, (i) cooperate in all respects and consult with the other Party in connection with the CFIUS Notice, including by allowing the other Party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions; (ii) promptly inform the other Party of any communication with CFIUS and promptly provide copies to the other Party of any such written communications, except for personal identifying information required by 31 C.F.R. § 800.502(c)(5)(vi); and (iii) permit the other Party to review in advance any communication that it gives to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting, telephone call or conference with CFIUS, and to the extent not prohibited by CFIUS, give the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in any telephonic conferences or in-person meetings with CFIUS, in each case of (i)-(iii), subject to confidentiality considerations contemplated by the DPA, required by CFIUS, or otherwise agreed upon by the Parties to be restricted to outside counsel only.

(e) Such reasonable best efforts shall also include taking or causing to be taken all action necessary to obtain the CFIUS Clearance so as to enable the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including entering into a mitigation agreement, letter of assurance, national security agreement, proxy agreement, trust agreement or other similar arrangement or agreement in relation to the business and assets of Buyer, the Affiliates of Buyer or the Acquired Entity, or otherwise divesting or agreeing to divest assets, with mitigation and related terms and conditions that are required by CFIUS or the President (if under Presidential review) for such arrangements or agreements, in each case, that is commercially reasonable; provided, however, that: (i) the Buyer, the Affiliates of Buyer or the Acquired Entity shall not be required to take or cause to be taken or agree to take any action in connection with this Agreement

92

or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless such action would be conditioned upon or occur subsequent to the Closing, (ii) without the prior written approval of Buyer, Seller shall cause the Acquired Entity not to take or agree to take any of the foregoing actions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) none of the foregoing actions would result in a material adverse effect on Buyer or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller and its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) are under no circumstances required to take or commit to take any action that would conflict with, violate or result in a breach of or termination right or default under any credit agreement or the documentation governing any other Indebtedness.

(f) The Parties also agree that if CFIUS suggests or requests that the Parties withdraw and resubmit the CFIUS Notice submitted to CFIUS, the Parties shall cooperate in withdrawing and resubmitting the CFIUS Notice.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of a CFIUS Turndown, no Party shall have any further obligation to seek CFIUS Clearance.

(h) No Party shall take or cause any of its Affiliates to take, any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the receipt of CFIUS Clearance.

Section 6.19 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, and subject to the other terms and conditions herein, Seller, its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) and Buyer shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any other assurances or documents or take any other actions reasonably requested by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, and necessary for Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, to satisfy its obligations hereunder and all Ancillary Agreements and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the execution and delivery of any documents, certificates, instruments or other papers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Prior to the Closing, each of Buyer and Seller will use reasonable best efforts to cause Seller and its Affiliates to be released, effective as of the Closing, from any letter of credit or guarantee obtained for the benefit of Seller and its Affiliates obtained pursuant to the terms of the Contract set forth on Schedule 6.19 (any such letter of credit or guarantee, the “Schedule 6.19 Letter of Credit”), including by having Buyer or its Affiliates cause to be entered into a substitute therefor.

Section 6.20 Insurance.

(a) Buyer agrees to arrange for such insurance with respect to the Business and the Purchased Assets that Buyer may desire and Seller and its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity prior to the Closing) agree, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s efforts and provide assistance as reasonably requested by the provider thereof in connection with obtaining such policies.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Seller and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing, to the extent that Seller or any of its Controlled Affiliates (each, a “Policy Holder”) has the right to pursue a claim under any Assumed Liability Insurance Policy, including with respect to claims made prior to the Closing under any such claims-made policy of Seller or its Controlled Affiliates that, in each case, covers or may reasonably be expected to cover in whole or in part any liability or obligation described in Section 2.4(d) (each such liability or obligation, a “Policy Covered Loss,” and Buyer, the “Policy Beneficiary”), the Policy Holder shall (to the extent requested in writing from time to time by the

93

Policy Beneficiary) use commercially reasonable efforts to file and pursue (or continue to pursue) on behalf of the Policy Beneficiary claims under the applicable Assumed Liability Insurance Policy for such Policy Covered Loss on behalf of the Policy Beneficiary. The Policy Beneficiary shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Policy Holder in pursuing claims for Policy Covered Loss on behalf of the Policy Beneficiary. To the extent that the Policy Holder actually collects proceeds under any applicable Assumed Liability Insurance Policy pursuant to this Section 6.20(b), the Policy Holder shall promptly remit any such proceeds (net of any then remaining unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Policy Holder in connection with the pursuit of such proceeds) to the Policy Beneficiary. The Policy Holder shall not, without the prior written consent of the Policy Beneficiary, amend, modify or waive any of its rights under the applicable Assumed Liability Insurance Policy to the extent that doing so could reasonably be expected to adversely affect any coverage thereunder of the Policy Beneficiary. Subject to the following sentence, the Policy Holder shall retain the exclusive right to control claims under such Assumed Liability Insurance Policy, provided that the Policy Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the duty, to monitor such claims. Upon the request of Buyer, Seller and its Controlled Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense) to cause Buyer to be added as an insured on any applicable Assumed Liability Insurance Policy(ies) covering or potentially covering Policy Covered Losses with respect to which Buyer is or may be a Policy Beneficiary. The Policy Beneficiary shall exclusively bear and be liable for (and the Policy Holder shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse the Policy Beneficiary or its Affiliates) all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts (including deductibles) relating to or associated with all such claims.

(a) From and after the Closing Date and subject to the other limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity from and after Closing) and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, agents, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) against and in respect of any and all losses, claims, damages, Liabilities, fines, fees, assessments, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), resulting or arising from or otherwise relating to:

If an Indemnified Party wishes to assert a claim against an Indemnifying Party hereunder in respect of any claim or demand asserted or sought to be collected by a Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party (each, a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party

97

shall promptly, but in no event more than thirty (30) days following after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim) (the “Claim Notice”); provided, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party (and then only to the extent of such material adverse prejudice). The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall first acknowledge in writing without qualification its indemnification obligation with respect to such Third Party Claim; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume or continue the defense of any Third Party Claim (and costs and expenses incurred by Indemnified Party in such defense shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party) if (a) the Indemnified Party shall have one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (b) such claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such Third Party Claim shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim, except as otherwise provided herein, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, and to employ separate counsel of its choosing, it may do so at its sole cost and expense; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party to the extent the Third Party Claim (i) is a criminal Proceeding against the Indemnified Party, (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party (other than injunctive, equitable or non-monetary relief that is incidental to monetary damages as the primary relief sought), (iii) is asserted by or on behalf of a customer, supplier, vendor or subcontractor, the loss of whom would be materially adverse to the Business and (iv) for which counsel for the Indemnified Party has concluded that legal defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis: (i) that would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction, decree or agreement that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, (ii) that includes a finding or admission of a violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, (iii) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its subsidiaries and Affiliates from all Liability with respect to the matters that are subject to such Third Party Claim, or (iv) that provides for any payment by the Indemnified Party or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof. To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall control or participate in the defense or settlement of any Third

98

Party Claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be required to disclose any information to the Indemnifying Party or its Representatives if such disclosure would give rise to a violation of Law (including antitrust or competition law issues) or that is otherwise subject to (and where disclosure would result in a loss of) attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other similar privilege associated with such information. Any notice of a claim by reason of any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known.

Section 8.4 Limitations on Recovery.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE VIII shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor, net of any expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in seeking and collecting such amount (including premium adjustments). If the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof actually receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Losses subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party that were not taken into account under the immediately preceding sentence, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount (including premium adjustments). The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under such insurance coverage or from such other Person alleged to have responsibility therefor. Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(a)(iii) or Section 8.2(b) for any individual or series of related Losses which exceed the Purchase Price (the “Cap”).

(b) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Controlled Affiliates to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

Section 8.5 Exclusive Remedies; Sole Recourse.

(a) Except for claims arising out of Fraud, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII and the R&W Insurance Policy. The Indemnified Party is not entitled to recover damages or otherwise retain payment, reimbursement or restitution more than once in respect of the same Loss.

99

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no limitations (including any survival limitations and other limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII), qualifications or procedures in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify the ability of Buyer to make claims under or recover under the R&W Insurance Policy; it being understood that any matter for which there is coverage available under the R&W Insurance Policy shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations, if any, set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 8.6 No Set-Off. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any right to set-off any Losses (including indemnification obligations hereunder) against any payments to be made by either of them pursuant to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise.

Section 8.7 Adjustments to Purchase Price. Any payments made pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(ii) the Stockholder Approval has not been received, in order to enter into a Seller Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Seller Superior Proposal to the extent permitted by, and subject to complying with the terms of, Section 6.2; provided, that Seller shall have paid to Buyer in immediately available funds the Seller Termination Fee immediately before or simultaneously with and as a condition to such termination and Seller immediately thereafter enters into such Seller Acquisition Agreement;

(iii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 shall not have been fulfilled by the Outside Date, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Seller to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing;

(iv) the Stockholders’ Meeting (including any adjournments and postponements thereof) shall have concluded without the Stockholder Approval having been obtained; or

(d) by Buyer or Seller in the event that:

(i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited; or

(ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable.

101

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto except:

(a) that the obligations set forth in Section 6.17(f), this ARTICLE IX and ARTICLE X hereof shall survive termination; and

(b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for Fraud or any intentional and willful breach of any provision hereof.

Section 9.3 Seller Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that:

(i) (i) this Agreement is validly terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iv) or Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(iii), in each case, at a time when Buyer would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iii); or

(ii) (A) a bona fide Seller Takeover Proposal shall have been publicly made, publicly proposed or publicly communicated by a third party after the date of this Agreement and not withdrawn prior to the time this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i), Section 9.1(b)(ii) or Section 9.1(b)(iv) or Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(iv), and (B) within twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, Seller enters into a definitive agreement to consummate a Seller Takeover Proposal; or

(iii) this Agreement is validly terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iii); or

(iv) this Agreement is validly terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii);

then, in any such event under clauses (i) and (iii) of this Section 9.3(a), Seller will pay or cause to be paid the Seller Termination Fee to Buyer or its designee by wire transfer of immediately available funds within (2) Business Days of the applicable termination, in the case of clause (ii), within two (2) Business Days after entry into the definitive agreement described therein; or in the case of clause (iv) of this Section 9.3(a), simultaneously with the applicable termination. As used herein, “Seller Termination Fee” will mean a cash amount equal to $5,075,000; provided, that the Seller Termination Fee shall be reduced by Expense Reimbursement actually made pursuant to Section 9.3(b) in the event the Seller Termination Fee is owing pursuant to Section 9.3(a).

(b) In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(ii) or Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(iv), Seller shall pay to Buyer the Expenses up to $3,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Expense Reimbursement”). The Expense Reimbursement due under this Section 9.3(b) shall be paid (as a condition to the validity of such termination) no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of documentation reasonably supporting such Expenses.

(c) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement. The Parties agree that the Seller Termination Fee shall not constitute a penalty but are liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount

102

that will compensate the Party receiving such amount in the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, if Seller fails to timely pay or cause to be paid any amount due pursuant to this Section 9.3, and, in order to obtain the payment, Buyer commences an Proceeding which results in a judgment against the Seller for the payment set forth in this Section 9.3, Seller will pay or cause to be paid Buyer’s reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Proceeding, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received.

(d) Subject in all respects to Buyer’s rights set forth in Section 10.11, in the event the Seller Termination Fee is paid to Buyer in circumstances for which such fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or the Expense Reimbursement is paid to Buyer in circumstances for which such fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.3(b), payment of the Seller Termination Fee or the Expense Reimbursement (in situations where the Seller Termination Fee is not also payable) will be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer against Seller and its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereunder to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of such amount neither Seller nor any of its Controlled Affiliates (including the Acquired Entity) will have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder. While Buyer may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 10.11 and the payment of the Seller Termination Fee or the Expense Reimbursement under Section 9.3, under no circumstances will Buyer be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in a Closing and all or any portion of the Seller Termination Fee or Expense Reimbursement.

Section 10.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflict-of-laws principles that would result in the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each of the Parties agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding against any of Buyer’s Debt Financing Sources or any Financing Related Persons arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York to such legal suit, action or proceeding, except to the extent otherwise provided in any debt commitment letter or the definitive agreements for the Debt Financing.

106

(b) The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware over all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including any claim or cause of action, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) and each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any such dispute or any suit, action or proceeding related thereto (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) shall be heard and determined in such courts. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such courts or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(c) Each of the Parties hereby consents to process being served by any Party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.8.

(d) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST IT THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY MADE IN OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR AS AN INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT).

Section 10.10 Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.11 Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the Parties shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Each of the Parties acknowledges that the rights of each Party regarding the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by either Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the Parties agree that such non-breaching Party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, to seek enforcement of their rights and the other Party’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security).

Section 10.12 Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller, on behalf of itself, and its Controlled Affiliates hereby: (a) agrees that any proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving the Debt Financing Sources or the Financing Related Persons, arising out of or relating to, this

107

Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York (the “Chosen Financing Courts”), so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such Chosen Financing Courts, (b) agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its Controlled Affiliates to bring or support any proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Debt Financing Source or Financing Related Person in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any forum other than any Chosen Financing Courts, (c) agrees that service of process in any such legal Proceeding or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10.8, (d) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such proceeding in any such court, (e) agrees that a final judgment in any such proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law, (f) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law trial by jury in any proceeding brought against any Debt Financing Source or any Financing Related Person in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (g) agrees that none of the Debt Financing Sources or the Financing Related Persons shall have any liability to the Seller and/or any of its Controlled Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise (and the Seller, on behalf of itself and its Controlled Affiliates and each of their respective Affiliates and their and their respective Affiliates’ Representatives, hereby acknowledges that they have no recourse against, and hereby waive any rights or claims against, the Debt Financing Sources in connection therewith); provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of the Debt Financing Sources pursuant to the documentation related to the Debt Financing, including the Debt Commitment Letter, and (h) agrees that the Debt Financing Sources are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, any of the provisions of this Section 10.12 and that such provisions and the definition of “Debt Financing Sources” shall not be amended in any way adverse to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources party to the Debt Commitment Letter.

Exhibit 10.1

March 14, 2024

RE: Offer Letter—President

Kirsten Newquist

Via email

Dear Kirsten:

Identiv, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you the position of President of the Company’s RFID business subject to the terms and conditions of this letter agreement (this “Agreement”).

Position and Duties

As President, you will report to the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and will have duties and authority consistent with your position and such other duties as may be assigned to you from time to time by the Board. You agree to devote your full business time, attention and best efforts to the performance of your duties and to the furtherance of the Company’s interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude you from devoting reasonable periods of time to charitable and community activities, managing personal investment assets and, subject to Board approval which will not be unreasonably withheld, serving on boards of other companies (public or private) not in competition with the Company, provided that none of these activities interferes with the performance of your duties hereunder or creates a conflict of interest.

Start Date and Location

Your anticipated employment start date will be on or about April 15, 2024 (your actual start date, the “Start Date”). Your principal place of employment will be the Company’s office in Santa Ana, California, but you may also work remotely from your home office so long as doing so does not interfere with your responsibilities under this Agreement. You will also be required to travel on Company business as needed to fulfill your employment duties and responsibilities.

Compensation

You will receive an initial base salary of $400,000 annualized, paid in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures.

In addition to your base salary, you will be eligible to earn a quarterly performance bonus of up to 18.75%, or $75,000 of your base annual salary (up to $300,000 annually) at the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 (each, a “Quarterly Bonus”). Performance bonus criteria will be tied to specific thresholds to be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) in consultation with you within the first sixty (60) days of your employment for the quarterly periods ending on or before December 31, 2024. The performance criteria for periods after December 31, 2024 will be determined each year by the Committee. Performance achieved will be evaluated on a quarterly basis by the Committee. Earned performance bonuses will be paid in cash, which payment will be made within sixty (60) days after the end of the fiscal quarter in which such bonus is earned.

Your base salary and incentive compensation will be subject to periodic review and increase (but not decrease) in accordance with Company practices.

Incentive Equity Awards

In addition, subject to Board approval, you will be granted 200,000 restricted stock units covering the Company’s common stock (“RSUs”). Subject to your continued employment, the RSUs will vest over four years beginning on the vesting start date (i.e. the first calendar day of the month following your hire start date), with 25% of the RSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the vesting start date and the remaining RSUs vesting in equal quarterly installments for 12 quarters following the first anniversary of the vesting start date.

In addition, you will be eligible to earn 200,000 RSUs that will be tied to specific thresholds to be established by the Committee in consultation with you within the first sixty (60) days of your employment for the quarterly periods ending on or before December 31, 2024. The performance criteria for periods after December 31, 2024 will be determined each year by the Committee. Performance achieved will be evaluated by the Committee on a quarterly basis.

All equity awards will be governed by the terms of the Company’s 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Plan”) and the Company’s standard forms of award agreements. We recommend you consult a financial advisor to develop your own understanding of the equity portion of your compensation.

Benefits

You will be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs generally available to the Company’s executives, including group medical, dental, vision, life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans and programs. You will also be eligible to participate in any retirement, savings and other employee benefit plans and programs maintained from time to time by the Company for the benefit of its executive officers.

The Company offers exempt employees a Discretionary Personal Time Off (“DTO”) benefit, where eligible employees may request reasonable time off subject to manager approval. DTO is not accrued, is not carried over year to year, and is not paid out upon termination of employment. In addition, you will receive 48 hours of sick time annually, prorated based on your date of hire.

In connection with your employment, the Company also agrees to cover you under a Company-maintained directors and officers errors and omissions liability insurance policy, and to enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement for directors and officers (the “Indemnification Agreement”).

At-will Employment

Your employment with the Company is “at-will.” This means that either you or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason, without cause and without prior notice. Although your compensation and benefits may change from time to time, the at-will nature of your employment may only be changed by an express written agreement signed by an authorized officer of the Company.

Termination of Employment

Upon any termination of employment for any reason, you will be entitled to (i) payment of all earned but unpaid base salary, (ii) reimbursement of any business expenses incurred by you prior to your termination date that are reimbursable in accordance with the Company policies, (iii) any unpaid earned Quarterly Bonus, and (iv) any vested rights or amounts due to you under any plan, program or policy of the Company (together, the “Accrued Obligations”). The Accrued Obligations described in clauses (i) – (iii)

1900 B Carnegie Avenue

Santa Ana, CA 92705

+1 949.250.8888

www.identiv.com

of the preceding sentence shall be paid within 30 days after your termination date (or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law) and the Accrued Obligations described in clause (iv) shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the governing plan or program. Except as provided below, you will not be entitled to any additional compensation or benefits hereunder.

If your employment with Company terminates by reason of your death or Disability (as defined below), then in addition to the Accrued Obligations, you will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to twelve (12) months of your then-current base salary (subject to applicable deductions and required tax withholdings) paid in cash on the sixtieth (60th) day following your last day of employment.

If at any time outside the Change in Control Period, (as defined below), either the Company terminates your employment without Cause or you are Constructively Terminated (each as defined below) and you provide an Enforceable Release (as defined below), then in addition to the Accrued Obligations you will be entitled to receive:

(i) a lump sum payment equal to twelve (12) months of your then-current base salary (subject to applicable deductions and required tax withholdings) paid in cash on the sixtieth (60th) day following your last day of employment;

(ii) Benefits Continuation (as defined below) for twelve (12) months beginning in the month after your last day of employment; and

(iii) accelerated vesting in your outstanding Company stock options, stock units and similar equity awards with service-based vesting with respect to that number of shares that would have vested in the ordinary course in the first twelve (12) months after your termination, such vesting to be effective as of your last day of employment.

If at any time during the twelve (12)-month period following the effective date of a Change in Control (the “Change in Control Period”), your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or you are Constructively Terminated and you provide an Enforceable Release, then in addition to the Accrued Obligations you will be entitled to receive:

(i) a lump sum payment equal to twelve (12) months of your then-current base salary (subject to applicable deductions and required tax withholdings), paid in cash on the sixtieth (60th) day following your last day of employment;

(ii) Benefits Continuation (as defined below) for twelve (12) months beginning in the month after your last day of employment; and

(iii) accelerated vesting in all of your outstanding Company stock options, stock units and similar equity awards with service-based vesting.

Termination of Employment – Defined Terms

For purposes of this Agreement, “Benefits Continuation” is defined as Company reimbursement of the COBRA premiums for continuation of the Company group health plan coverage for yourself and your eligible dependents that was in effect as of the date of your termination; provided, however, that such reimbursement shall terminate if and to the extent you become eligible to receive group health coverage from a subsequent employer (and any such eligibility shall be promptly reported to the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reimbursement of COBRA premiums hereunder would violate the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, the parties agree to reform this as necessary to comply with said law and the regulations issued thereunder.

For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of your employment will be for “Cause” if you are terminated for any one or more of the following events, as determined in good faith by the Board: (i) your commission of a criminal offence involving moral turpitude; (ii) your commission of any act of fraud,

1900 B Carnegie Avenue

Santa Ana, CA 92705

+1 949.250.8888

www.identiv.com

embezzlement or dishonesty either intended to injure the Company or otherwise having a material detrimental effect on the Company; (iii) in carrying out your duties hereunder (A) gross negligence, (B) willful misconduct or (C) failure to comply with a legal directive of the Board that is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach; or (iv) your breach of any material provision of this letter agreement, any material Company policy or your Proprietary Information Agreement (defined below).

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” will have the meaning provided in the Equity Plan (or any successor plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the spin-off or sale of a business unit of the Company other than the RFID business will not constitute a Change in Control.

For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of your employment will be a “Constructive Termination” if you resign within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any one or more of the following events without your consent and the Company fails to cure such event(s) within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof from you: (i) material reduction in your position or responsibilities (other than temporarily in response to physical or mental incapacity), but excluding any change in the reporting line caused by the Company becoming a subsidiary of another public company; (ii) reduction of your base salary in excess of 10%, but excluding any general reduction in base salary that affects all similarly situated executives in substantially the same proportions; or (iii) relocation of your principal worksite more than fifty (50) miles from its then-current location, provided that this clause (iii) may not be used as grounds to resign as a Constructive Termination if you are permitted to work remotely.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” is defined as an incapacity to perform your duties for one hundred and eighty (180) or more days during any twelve (12)-month period that is due, in the written opinion of a licensed physician mutually acceptable to you and the Company, to a physical or mental illness.

For purposes of this Agreement, an “Enforceable Release” is defined as an executed release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company that becomes irrevocable within sixty (60) days after your termination of employment.

Parachute Limitation

In the event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to you (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then your benefits under this letter agreement shall be either (A) delivered, subject to any applicable tax or other withholdings, in full, or (B) delivered, subject to any applicable tax or other withholdings, to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by you, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. To the extent required to avoid a violation of Section 409A of the Code, in no event will you or the Company exercise any discretion with respect to the ordering of any such reduction of payments or benefits.

Unless you and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under the immediately preceding paragraph shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon you and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the requisite calculations, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable,

www.identiv.com

good faith interpretations concerning the applications of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. Both the Company and you shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by the paragraph.

Section 409A

This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any payment or benefit provided to you in connection with termination of employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and you are determined to be a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i), then such payment or benefit shall not be paid until the first payroll date to occur following the six-month anniversary of your termination date (the “Specified Employee Payment Date”) or, if earlier, on the date of your death. The aggregate of any payments that would otherwise have been paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date shall be paid to you in a lump sum on the Specified Employee Payment Date and thereafter, any remaining payments shall be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule.

Company Policies

In the performance of your duties, you shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations as well as all Company rules, procedures, policies, requirements and directions. Like all Company employees, as a condition of your employment with the Company, you will be required to sign and to be bound by the terms of the Company’s confidentiality and invention assignment agreement (the “Proprietary Information Agreement”), a copy of which is attached to this Agreement.

Any amounts payable hereunder are subject to any policy (whether currently in existence or later adopted) established by the Company providing for clawback or recovery of amounts that were paid to you. The Company will make any determination for clawback or recovery in its sole discretion and in accordance with any applicable law or regulation.

No Conflicts

You understand and agree that by entering into this Agreement, you represent to the Company that your performance will not breach any other agreement to which you are a party and that you have not, and will not during the term of your employment with the Company, enter into any oral or written agreement in conflict with any of the provisions of this letter agreement or the Company’s policies.

Arbitration

To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with your employment with the Company, you and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, including but not limited to statutory claims, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement, your employment with the Company, or the termination of your employment, shall be resolved pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-16, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration in California conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) or its successor, under JAMS’ then applicable rules and procedures for employment disputes (available upon request and also currently available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration/).

You acknowledge that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both you and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or by administrative proceeding. In addition, all claims, disputes, or causes of action under this section, whether by you or the Company, must be brought in an individual capacity, and shall not be brought as a plaintiff (or claimant) or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, nor joined or consolidated with the claims of any other person or entity. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. To the extent that the preceding sentences regarding class claims or proceedings are found to violate applicable law or are otherwise found unenforceable, any claim(s) alleged or brought on behalf of a class shall proceed in a court of law rather than by arbitration. This paragraph shall not apply to any action or claim that cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration as a matter of law, including, without limitation, claims brought pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, as amended, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, as amended, and the California Labor Code, as amended, to the extent such claims are not permitted by applicable law(s) to be submitted to mandatory arbitration and the applicable law(s) are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act or otherwise invalid (collectively, the “Excluded Claims”). In the event you intend to bring multiple claims, including one of the Excluded Claims listed above, the Excluded Claims may be filed with a court, while any other claims will remain subject to mandatory arbitration. You will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration proceeding.

The arbitrator shall: (i) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (ii) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded as to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award all relief that you or the Company would be entitled to seek in a court of law. The Company shall pay all JAMS’ arbitration fees in excess of the administrative fees you would be required to pay if the dispute were decided in a court of law. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either you or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, any claims by either party arising under the Proprietary Information Agreement or involving trade secrets shall be resolved through the courts and not through the arbitration procedure described above.

Other Terms

This Agreement, along with the Indemnification Agreement and the Proprietary Information Agreement, sets forth the complete and exclusive agreement between you and the Company with regard to your employment with the Company, and supersedes any prior representations or agreements about this matter, whether written or verbal. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement signed by you and an authorized member of the Board. This Agreement shall be governed by California law as applied to contracts executed and to perform entirely in California. If any clause or provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such clause or provision shall be construed and enforced as if it had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid or unenforceable, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Agreement.

This VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT, dated as of April 2, 2024 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Hawk Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”) and each of the entities set forth on Schedule A (each such Person, together with any Persons added to Schedule A after the date hereof in accordance with Section 4.1(b), individually a “Stockholder”, collectively the “Stockholders”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Buyer and Identiv, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”, together with its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, the “Company”), are, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, entering into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (as from time to time further amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Buyer has agreed to purchase from the Company the Purchased Equity Interests and the Purchased Assets on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Stockholder holds and is entitled to vote (or direct the voting of) the number of shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Seller (“Common Stock”) and Series B non-voting convertible preferred stock (on an as-converted basis in accordance with the Certificate of Designation (as defined below)), par value $.001 per share, of Seller (“Preferred Stock”) set forth opposite its name on Schedule A hereto (such Common Stock and Preferred Stock held by the Stockholders the “Current Shares”, and the Current Shares together with any other shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock acquired or received by the Stockholders after the date hereof and during the term of this Agreement being collectively referred to herein as the “Covered Shares”).

WHEREAS, as a condition to Buyer’s willingness to enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, Buyer has required that each Stockholder agree, and each Stockholder is willing to agree, to enter into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the premises, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration given to each party hereto, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

VOTING

1.1 Agreement to Vote. Each Stockholder hereby agrees, from and after the date hereof and until the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholders Meeting”), however called, including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof or, if applicable, by written consent, to, in each case to the fullest extent that the Covered Shares are entitled to vote thereon or consent thereto:

(i) appear (in person or by proxy) at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Covered Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

(ii) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of the Covered Shares: (i) in favor of the Transaction, (ii) in favor of the approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone any Stockholders Meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes for adoption of the Purchase Agreement on the date on which such meeting is held; (iii) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of or failure to perform any material covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company or Seller contained in the Purchase Agreement; (iv) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, frustrate, interfere with, postpone, materially delay or adversely affect the consummation of the Transaction or the fulfillment of Buyer’s or Seller’s conditions under the Purchase Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, any of the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of Seller (including any amendments to Seller’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws); and (v) against any Seller Takeover Proposal;

provided, that, in each case, (A) the Stockholders shall not be required to vote in favor of the Transaction at any Stockholders Meeting if, and only if, (x) in response to a Seller Superior Proposal received by the Seller Board, a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change is made after the date of this Agreement and not withdrawn prior to the Stockholders Meeting in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Purchase Agreement and (y) the Stockholders Meeting occurs as contemplated by Section 6.4 of the Purchase Agreement for the purpose of voting on the Transaction and (B) the Purchase Agreement shall not have been amended or modified without such Stockholder’s consent in a manner that reduces the cash consideration payable to Seller or otherwise amends the material terms of the Purchase Agreement in a manner that is materially adverse to the stockholders of Seller.

1.2 Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby grants to Buyer (and any designee of Buyer) a proxy (and appoints Buyer or any such designee of Buyer as its attorney in fact) to vote the Covered Shares in the manner indicated in Section 1.1 (which proxy and appointment shall be limited solely to the matters set forth in Section 1.1) (the “Proxy Grant”). This proxy and appointment (i) is irrevocable, (ii) is coupled with an interest and (iii) constitutes, among other things, an inducement for Buyer to enter into the Purchase Agreement. This proxy and appointment shall continue in force until it expires, automatically and without further action by the parties, upon termination of this Agreement. This proxy and appointment will survive the death or other incapacity of each Stockholder. Each Stockholder shall also, at Buyer’s expense, take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to carry out and effectuate the intent of this Voting Agreement and this proxy and appointment.

2

1.3 Each Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney given by each Stockholder with respect to the voting of the Covered Shares inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDER

Each Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Buyer, jointly and severally, as follows:

2.1 Power; Due Authorization; Binding Agreement. Each Stockholder has the requisite power, authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by each Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or other applicable action on the part of each Stockholder, and no other proceedings on the part of each Stockholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Stockholder and, assuming the due and valid authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of each Stockholder, enforceable against each Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar requirements of Law, now or hereafter in effect, relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

2.2 Ownership. As of the date hereof, each Stockholder holds of record and owns beneficially all of the Current Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances, subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, proxies, commitments, restrictions and Contracts of any kind other than pursuant to applicable securities Laws, the terms of this Agreement and the Seller’s certificate of incorporation (including the Certificate of Designation) or customary Liens pursuant to the terms of any custody or similar agreement applicable to Covered Shares held in brokerage accounts. As of the date hereof, the Current Shares represent all of the capital stock of the Company owned of record or beneficially by each Stockholder and, other than the Current Shares, each Stockholder does not directly or indirectly hold or exercise control over any options, warrants or other rights or awards to purchase shares of Company Common Stock or other voting capital stock or securities of the Company or any other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Company Common Stock or other voting capital stock or securities of the Company. Each Stockholder has and will have at all times through the Closing sufficient rights and powers over voting and disposition with respect to the matters set forth in Article I, and to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the Covered Shares, with no other limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights, in each case, subject to applicable securities Laws, the terms of this Agreement and the Seller’s certificate of incorporation (including the Certificate of Designation). The Current Shares are, as of the date hereof, held directly by the Stockholders as indicated on Schedule A.

The execution and delivery and the performance of the terms by each Stockholder of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement will not (a) result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to the loss of a benefit under, any Contract to which each Stockholder is a party or is subject, (b) result in the creation of an Encumbrance on any of the Covered Shares, or (c) conflict with or violate any Laws applicable to each Stockholder, other than violations that would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the performance of each Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement.

2.4 No Inconsistent Agreements.

2.5 Reliance. Each Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Buyer is entering into the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon each Stockholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

The person executing this Agreement on behalf of Buyer has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of Buyer and to thereby bind Buyer. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyer and, assuming due and valid authorization, execution and delivery hereof by each Stockholder, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to applicable

4

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

3.2 Noncontravention.

The execution and delivery and the performance of the terms by Buyer of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement will not (a) result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to the loss of a benefit under, any Contract to which Buyer is a party or is subject, (b) conflict with or violate any Laws applicable to Buyer, other than violations that would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the performance of Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

OTHER COVENANTS

(a) In case of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, conversion or exchange of shares or the like, for all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Covered Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Covered Shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Covered Shares may be changed or exchanged or that are received in such transaction, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Common Stock that each Stockholder receives by converting its shares of Preferred Stock or as a result of the in-kind dividend payment associated with its shares of Preferred Stock, in each case, in accordance with that certain Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Preferred Stock, dated as of December 21, 2017 (the “Certificate of Designation”).

(b) Each Stockholder shall, while this Agreement is in effect, notify Buyer promptly in writing by providing an updated version of Schedule A hereto of the number of any additional shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock, any additional options, warrants or rights or other awards to purchase shares of Common Stock or other voting capital stock of the Company and any other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other voting capital stock or securities of the Seller acquired (beneficially or of record) by each Stockholder or any Affiliate thereof, if any, after the date hereof, and (i) be deemed to, as of date

5

4.3 Adverse Proceedings. While this Agreement is in effect, each Stockholder shall not: (a) take, agree or commit to take any action that would reasonably be expected to make any representation and warranty of each Stockholder contained in this Agreement inaccurate in any material respect as of any time during the term of this Agreement, or (b) fail to take reasonable action necessary to prevent any such representation or warranty from being inaccurate in any material respect at any such time.

4.4 Dissenter and Appraisal Rights. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees to cause to be waived and to prevent the exercise of, any rights of appraisal, any dissenter’s rights and any similar rights relating to the Transaction or any related transaction that each Stockholder may have by virtue of, or with respect to, the Covered Shares.

4.5 No Solicitation. Each Stockholder, solely in its capacity as a stockholder of Seller will and will direct and use reasonable best efforts to cause each of its Representatives, to: (i) from and after the date hereof, immediately cease any direct or indirect solicitation, discussions or negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to a Seller Takeover Proposal and request in writing that each such Person promptly return or destroy all confidential information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of Seller in connection with any such Seller Takeover Proposal and (ii) not, directly or indirectly through another Person, (A) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any Inquiry (it being understood and agreed that ministerial acts that are not otherwise prohibited by Section 6.2 of the Purchase Agreement (such as answering unsolicited phone calls to notify the applicable caller of the existence of the restrictions in Section 6.2 of the Purchase Agreement) will not be deemed to “facilitate” for purposes of, or otherwise constitute a violation of, this section), (B) from and after the date hereof, engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any non-public information or provide access to its properties, books or records in connection with, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, encouraging or facilitating, a Seller Takeover Proposal or an Inquiry, except to notify such Person of the existence of the restrictions in this section, (C) approve, adopt, recommend,

For clarity, if each Stockholder is a venture capital or private equity investor, the term “Representative” (a) shall include any general partner of the Stockholder that is still affiliated with the Stockholder, but (b) shall exclude (i) any limited partner, (ii) any general partner that is no longer affiliated with the Stockholder, and (iii) any employees or other Representatives, in each case of clauses (i) to (iii), who do not have actual knowledge of the Transaction.

Exhibit 99.2

Identiv Announces Asset Purchase Agreement with Security Solutions Provider Vitaprotech for $145 Million

Appoints Kirsten Newquist as President to lead Identiv’s IoT Solutions Business

Proceeds from Transaction Intended to Fund Future Growth and Value Creation of Identiv’s IoT Solutions Business

Combination of Identiv’s Security Businesses with European Security Solutions Leader Vitaprotech to Create Global High Security Leader

Transaction Expected to Close in Q3 FY 2024, Subject to Approvals

FREMONT, Calif. — April 3, 2024 — Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE), a global digital security and identification leader in the Internet of Things (IoT), has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell its physical security, access card, and identity reader operations and assets to Vitaprotech, a security solutions provider. The proceeds from the sale will significantly strengthen Identiv’s financial position, generating capital to fund future organic and inorganic growth of its specialty IoT solutions business.

Under the terms of the agreement, Identiv will receive a cash payment of $145 million upon closing of the transaction, subject to customary adjustments. Identiv, Inc. will remain a publicly listed company on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol “INVE.”

Aligned with this strategic direction, Identiv announced the appointment of Kirsten Newquist as President, IoT Solutions, effective April 15, 2024. Ms. Newquist is a seasoned business leader with over 25 years’ experience in strategy, product management, business development, and global sales and marketing. She will join Identiv after 17 years at Avery Dennison Corporation. She was most recently Global Vice President, Avery Dennison Smartrac, and previously held other leadership roles including the VP/GM of Avery Dennison Medical.

“The Board has successfully concluded its strategic alternatives review with an outcome that we strongly believe is beneficial for all stakeholders,” said James Ousley, Chairman of the Board. “We said at the beginning of this process that we felt each of our business units would benefit from additional resources and management focus to achieve their full potential. We feel this transaction accomplishes both and provides excellent value creation paths for both businesses. Identiv’s IoT solutions business opportunity is vast, high growth, and high value-add where we believe we can establish market leadership. We expect to refocus our growth strategy with a particular focus on healthcare-related segments and other high value-add opportunities for which we believe our technology can be both differentiated and transformational.”

“We are thrilled that Kirsten will be joining our executive leadership team,” added Mr. Ousley. “Her prior experience working with healthcare companies and other value-add industries to deploy innovative and impactful IoT solutions is ideal for leading Identiv’s post-transaction organic and inorganic growth strategies.”

As the healthcare industry and its providers advance their digital transformations, Identiv’s aim is to ensure that its technology and core competencies become an integral and critical component of their journey, delivering a compelling value proposition for patients, physicians, providers, and payors, and addressing the critical unmet needs in healthcare around data science, compliance, utilization, effectiveness, and efficiency.

Michael Kellen and Andrew Gundlach, co-CEOs of Bleichroeder LP, Identiv’s largest stockholder, said, “We believe that Identiv’s Board has taken the right strategic step to maximize the company’s opportunity to build the leading company in specialty IoT solutions with a particular focus in healthcare. We view this as an opportunity to generate substantial value for stockholders, combining the existing strengths of the current RFID business with world-class IoT industry and healthcare-focused leadership and the capital to actualize their vision.”

“This is a game-changing transaction for the future of Identiv that we believe is an excellent outcome for our stockholders, employees, customers, and partners,” said Steven Humphreys, CEO of Identiv. “Our globally recognized security business naturally aligns with Vitaprotech’s strategy and vision for the market, creating a world leader in enterprise security. This strategic step is extremely positive for our IoT business, with the capital, leadership, team, and industry position to lead in our markets.”

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2024, subject to stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is also subject to review and approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and the Federal Trade Commission under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act. Upon closing, certain senior executives will join Vitaprotech, including Identiv CEO Steven Humphreys, at which time incoming President Kirsten Newquist will assume the role of CEO of Identiv.

Imperial Capital LLC is serving as financial advisor and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP is serving as legal counsel to Identiv. Craig-Hallum Capital Group delivered a fairness opinion to Identiv’s board of directors in connection with the transaction.
