Douglas Solomon, who until this year acted as Chairman of the Board of Directors, has resigned from the Board and as an executive of the Company by mutual agreement, in order to focus on generating sales opportunities for Ipsidy, primarily in Africa, as an independent sales agent.  "We thank Doug for his service to the Company and look forward to continue working with him," stated Mr. Beck.
