Gemalto completes combination
and confirms its digital security agenda

Amsterdam, January 29, 2007 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), a world leader in digital security, announces that it now holds 100% of Gemplus following its Public Exchange Offer and the completion of the mandatory squeeze out of the Gemplus shares.

Consequently, Euronext Paris S.A. has delisted Gemplus shares from the Eurolist and the Gemplus ADSs were delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 29, 2007.

This operation represents the final step in the combination process of Axalto and Gemplus that was announced slightly over a year ago (December 2005) and that led to the creation of the Gemalto group in June 2006.

“This is a tremendous achievement on the part of everyone involved. In just over 12 months, we have merged two leading companies and successfully brought together over 11,000 employees, in order to form a world leader in digital security” comments Olivier Piou, chief executive officer of Gemalto.

“Throughout the process, the strong support of our shareholder base has been instrumental. Equally important has been the very favorable reaction of our clients who have already begun to benefit from combining our teams expertise and innovations” Olivier Piou adds.

“This is now the final step of the combination process, enabling us to move forward and fully dedicate our time and energy to the business at hand. Today we are ideally positioned to seize the many opportunities that we see in the digital security arena”.
