L-1 Announces Subsequent Offering Period to Acquire Remaining Outstanding

                                   Shares



    STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 4 /EMWNews/ -- L-1 Identity

Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ID), a leading provider of identity solutions and

services, today announced that it has successfully completed the initial

offering period of its tender offer for all outstanding shares of common

stock of Digimarc Corporation (Nasdaq: DMRC). The Company also announced

that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dolomite Acquisition Co., has commenced a

subsequent offering period to acquire all of the remaining outstanding

shares of common stock of Digimarc not tendered into the offer.



    The initial offering period and withdrawal rights expired at 12:00 a.m.

(ET), on Friday, August 1, 2008, with a total of approximately 19,767,699

shares of Digimarc common stock being validly tendered and not withdrawn,

representing approximately 79 percent of the issued and outstanding shares

of Digimarc common stock. All shares that were validly tendered and not

properly withdrawn on or prior to that time have been accepted for

purchase. L-1 will promptly pay for all such shares at the offer price of

$12.25 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any

required withholding taxes.



    The subsequent offering period will expire at 5:00 p.m. (ET), on

Friday, August 8, 2008, unless otherwise extended. During this subsequent

offering period, holders of shares of Digimarc common stock who did not

previously tender their shares into the offer may do so, and Dolomite

Acquisition Co. will promptly purchase any shares properly tendered, for

the same consideration paid in the initial offering period. Procedures for

tendering shares during the subsequent offering period are the same as

during the initial offering period, except that shares tendered during the

subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn. L-1 and Dolomite

Acquisition Co. reserve the right to extend the subsequent offering period

in accordance with applicable law.



    Following the expiration of the subsequent offering period, L-1 will

acquire all of the remaining outstanding shares of Digimarc common stock

through a merger. With the purchase of shares in the tender offer, L-1 will

have sufficient voting power to approve the merger without the affirmative

vote of any other Digimarc stockholder. As a result of this merger,

Digimarc will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of L-1, and each outstanding

share of Digimarc common stock will be cancelled and (except for shares

held by L-1 or its subsidiaries or shares for which appraisal rights are

properly demanded) will be converted into the right to receive the same

consideration, without interest, received by holders who tendered into the

tender offer. Thereafter, Digimarc common stock will cease to be traded on

the Nasdaq Global Market.
