2 BIOMETRICS AT THE HEART OF YOUR SAFETY The Semlex Group, founded in 1992, is composed of privately owned companies with an extensive expertise in the development, integration, operations management and supply of advanced systems via different methods of identification. OUR ACTIVITY Secure identification and authentication systems based on biometrics, security solutions, official documents, access control services, etc. Optimal integration to effectively meet your needs and expectations. Dynamic innovation, reliability, efficiency, simplicity and flexibility. All our documents are produced at our security printing house that produces high added value documents for more than 30 governments in the world.

3 KNOW HOW INNOVATION, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The technology used by Semlex is based on biometric identification and authentication systems making it possible to automatically diagnose or monitor a person s identity with fingerprints, facial recognition or retinal image. These systems operate in a highly secured computing environment: data encryption (PKI), image compression, fiduciary documents and client/server architecture whose accesses are strictly controlled. Semlex has developed a series of software ensuring the management of populations through mastered technologies such as biometrics (fingerprints, iris image, facial image). The latest printing techniques are used for the personalization of the documents: sublimation, retransfer and laser engraving.

4 SOLUTIONS AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY Semlex responds to the current high demand for security by issuing identification systems and highly reliable official documents through the use of biometric techniques and other security features at the forefront of technology. Semlex solutions make it possible to identify and authenticate individuals with maximum reliability, improve the protection and surveillance of borders and increase the protection level of buildings. These new services offered to clients and citizens allow to reinforce security levels far beyond conventional methods.

8 FINANCIAL PLAN IN BOT (BUILT, OPERATE, TRANSFER) OR IN PPP (PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP) To facilitate your acquisition of a biometric recognition system, Semlex has developed customized financing solutions to allow you to spread the investments as the project progresses. We Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) turnkey systems to our clients. Semlex therefore provides all the necessary investments for the implementation of the project, bears all operating costs and carries out its maintenance without the client having to bear any specific cost for the project. In return, Semlex earns a return on the sale of the documents concerned. Furthermore, a part will be donated to the State. In this way, the State not only invests very little or nothing, but also receives a share of the revenue.

9 YOUR PARTNER OUR MARKETS Semlex is committed tocreating and maintaining a partnership with its clients, while respecting their expectations and taking into account their socio-economic context. Semlex therefore offers governments a trusted collaboration on the long term. PRIVATE AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURES To easily and effectively manage people s access to public or private buildings, Semlex incorporates various systems of security, supervision and access in a turnkey solution.
