Oberthur Technologies Teams up With Vivo to Provide SIMSense to Mobile Subscribers in Brazil

Access SIM-Based Services Just by Tapping or Shaking the Mobile Phone

BARCELONA, February 16, 2010 - Oberthur Technologies, the world's second largest provider of
smart card solutions and Vivo, the largest mobile phone service provider in
Brazil and South America, have partnered to offer a movement-based SIM
solution for mobile phones.

SIMSense, a motion detection-capable SIM card functions
independently of the handset and allows for easy access to applications. By
simply shaking, taping or tilting the phone, users can quickly navigate
through or access the application they want. With SIMSense, the motion
technology is available on the SIM card instead of the actual handset. This
handset independent solution allows the operator to promote attractive
interactive new services on existing end users' phones.

"Oberthur Technologies' partnership with Vivo with new
solutions like SIMSense demonstrates our commitment in developing innovations
that meet the needs of mobile operators while improving the end user
experience," said Xavier Drilhon, Managing Director of the Card Systems
Division of Oberthur Technologies. "We are proud to be partnering with Vivo
to provide this unique solution to mobile subscribers in Rio de Janeiro."

Hilton Mendes, Handset Development and Innovation Director,
Vivo said, "In a competitive mobile environment we are always looking for
breakthrough solutions that benefit our subscribers. Vivo is excited to be
the first mobile network operator in Brazil to introduce SIMSense to its
customers."

SIMSense - the first motion detection and handset independent
SIM card was during the 2009 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Within a
year of its launch, SIMSense has been nominated for a SESAME award for mobile
innovation.
