Visualant Enters into Exclusivity Agreement with Intellicheck Mobilisa

Visualant, Inc. (OTCQB: VSUL) – an industry-leading provider of chromatic-based identification, authentication and diagnostic solutions, with its ChromaID™ technology, announced today that it has entered into an agreement that provides Intellicheck Mobilisa (NYSE MKT: IDN) exclusive rights to Visualant’s latest, patented photonics based innovations for threat assessment and document verification in the areas of homeland security, law enforcement and crime prevention.

Intellicheck already has their solutions in use in the US Department of Defense, US law enforcement and Canadian province enhanced identification systems. Intellicheck will now be able to enhance their products with sophisticated photonic technology to further improve threat identification worldwide.

While the human element remains critical to security measures, the Visualant ChromaID technology can help detect dangerous substances and counterfeit documents in a more proactive and precise manner. Visualant’s ChromaID technology will allow Intellicheck to develop a new line of threat identification products based on this pioneering technology. The Company believes this new technology will provide a new deterrent in halting domestic and international terrorism and illegal operations due to its real-time, field based analysis capabilities. The ChromaID technology can instantly detect a wide array of substances and materials including explosives, gunpowder residue, illicit drugs, and counterfeit documents including driver licenses and identity badges. The threat identification and authentication marketplaces are large multi-billion dollar industries.

Visualant CEO, President and Founder, Ron Erickson said, “We believe the Visualant ChromaID technology can play an important role in threat detection. New technologies can protect both our way of life and our very lives. With each new terrorist attack the importance of new threat detection technology grows in importance. Our continued work on ChromaID opens the door for unprecedented new breakthroughs that could help redefine the security paradigm. We are confident we can claim a portion of these multi-billion dollar markets.”

Once commercialized, Intellicheck expects its new ChromaID-based products will be game-changers for a wide variety of clients who would benefit from this cutting-edge technology. "We believe this agreement will allow us to take the steps necessary to deliver a generational leap forward in threat identification by integrating ChromaID technology into our threat identification solutions. We see significant, far-reaching implications in addressing numerous high-priority domestic and international security challenges across every spectrum," said Dr. William Roof, CEO of Intellicheck.
