Company Secures E2 Treaty Investor Status

Leicestershire, England, December 12, 2011 - Intercede Group plc, the developer of the Intercede MyID(R) Identity and Credential Management System today announces its has been approved as a United States Treaty Investor (E2) by the US Embassy in London.

The company is now able to send qualified executives and employees who are UK citizens to work for Intercede MyID Inc., subject only to them meeting the requirements appropriate to E2 status. Intercede MyID Inc is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Intercede Group with offices in Reston, VA.

Treaty Investor employees qualify for E-2 work visas. These are non-immigrant visas for nationals of a country with which the United States maintains a treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation who wish to go to the United States to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which the Treaty Investor is investing a substantial amount of capital.

Richard Parris, Intercede Chairman and Chief Executive said; "I am delighted Intercede has been recognized as an E2 Treaty Investor. This is the result of an extensive application process. We now have the flexibility to more easily outpost key UK staff to our US business in order to accelerate its growth. This will enable Intercede to strengthen its US infrastructure, transfer technology, recruit and train more US staff, extend the Intercede corporate culture to a wider team and provide US opportunities and experiences to our UK staff. I believe this is a key milestone in the corporate development of the Intercede Group and will be instrumental in enabling increased revenues to be generated from the North American market."
