IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND
WHERE TO FIND IT
On August 9, 2007, the Company and Digital
Angel issued a joint press release announcing the signing of an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the
Company, Digital Angel and Digital Angel Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition
Subsidiary”), pursuant to which the Acquisition Subsidiary will be merged
with and into Digital Angel, with Digital Angel surviving and becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the
consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of Digital Angel’s
common stock not currently owned by the Company will be converted into 1.4
shares of the Company’s common stock.
In connection with the
merger, the Company filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4
containing a Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus of the Company and Digital Angel.
Investors and security holders are urged to read the Registration Statement and
the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus carefully because they will contain
important information about the Company, Digital Angel and the proposed
transaction. The Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and other relevant materials
(when they become available), and any other documents filed with the SEC, may
be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s web site (www.sec.gov). In
addition, investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of other

Delray Beach, Florida 33445, Attention: Investor Relations, or to Digital Angel
at 490 Villaume Avenue, South St. Paul, Minnesota 55075, Attention: Investor
Relations. Investors and security holders are urged to read the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus and the other relevant materials before making any voting
or investment decision with respect to the proposed transaction.

Company, Digital Angel and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be
participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the proposed
transaction. Information regarding the interests of these directors and
executive officers in the proposed transaction is included in the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus referred to above. Additional information regarding
