Oslo, February 9, 2022 - NEXT Biometrics (Oslo Bors: NEXT), has received
follow-up purchase order of NOK 3.1 million for Access 200 fingerprint sensor.
This order is based on the previously announced design win with crypto-wallet
provider NGRAVE.

This recurring purchase order is a result of NEXTs close collaboration with Page
Electronica and NGRAVE, the ultra-secure crypto-wallet provider. NGRAVE has
in-formed NEXT that it is planning well in advance in light of the global
semiconductor supply challenges. While many component suppliers suffer long
lead-times, NEXT Biometrics fingerprint sensors will be available on time for
NGRAVE.

To date all sensors delivered by NEXT have already been consumed by NGRAVE, well
within earlier communicated 24 months. Today's follow-up order is by NGRAVE
estimated to be consumed within the next 18 months, with a majority during this
year. 

"We are stunned about the market response of our crypto-wallet and we're pleased
to have integrated it with the most secure fingerprint solution, from NEXT
Biometrics. Their slim formfactor with superior performance enables our NGRAVE
ZERO crypto-wallets to be ultra-secure." said Ruben Merre, CEO of NGRAVE NV. 

"This follow-up order from NGRAVE proves that our fingerprint sensors are well
fit-ted to be integrated in various security demanding use cases. The NGRAVE
crypto-wallet is a great design-win for NEXT, with potential in a continuously
growing crypto currency market.", says Peter Heuman.
