USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholder. All proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock will be for the accounts of the selling stockholder. See “Selling Stockholder” and “Plan of Distribution.”

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

The following table sets forth, to our knowledge, certain information as of November 28, 2018 regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by the selling stockholder and the shares being offered by the selling stockholder. Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based upon information obtained from the selling stockholder. We believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the selling stockholder named in the table below has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that he beneficially owns, subject to applicable community property laws. Information with respect to shares beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all of the shares of common stock offered and no other purchases or sales of our common stock. The selling stockholder may offer and sell some, all or none of his shares.

The selling stockholder received his shares of our common stock in connection with the acquisition of Thursby Software Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation (“TSS”), pursuant to which we acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of TSS for a combination of shares of our common stock and cash. The registration statement to which this prospectus relates is being filed pursuant to the Merger Agreement by and between Identiv, TSS and William Thursby in his capacity as the sole stockholder of TSS.

Effective as of the closing of the acquisition of TSS on November 1, 2018, Mr. Thursby has been serving as Vice President Strategy, of Thursby Software Systems, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Identiv. Prior to the acquisition, Mr. Thursby had served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of TSS since its formation in 1986.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer and Trust Company.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholder, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

2

The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

In addition, any shares covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.

The selling stockholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by him and, if he defaults in the performance of his secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholder also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out his short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholder from the sale of the common stock offered by him will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The selling stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with his agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

3

The selling stockholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us and the selling stockholder, to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the name of the selling stockholder, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable discounts, commissions, concessions or other compensation with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

To facilitate the offering of the shares offered by the selling stockholder, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock. This may include over-allotments or short sales, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more shares than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the common stock offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP.
