RECEIVES NASDAQ NOTICE OF ADDITIONAL LISTING REQUIREMENT DEFICIENCY Hearing Scheduled for November 21, 2002 New York, NY-- November 14, 2002--Dice Inc. (NASDAQ: DICE), the leading provider of online recruiting services for technology professionals, received a NASDAQ Staff Determination on November 13, 2002, indicating that in addition to the previously reported $3.00 bid price deficiency, the Company fails to comply with the $15 million market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(3), and that its common stock is, therefore, subject to delisting from the NASDAQ National Market.

This issue will be considered, together with the Staff Determination issued on October 8 regarding the bid price deficiency, at the Company's hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel, currently scheduled for November 21, 2002. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing.
