NEWS RELEASE Contact: R. Christopher Minor Sr. Vice President and CFO CareAdvantage, Inc. (732) 602-7017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAREADVANTAGE ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT FOR DEBT CONVERSION Iselin, New Jersey, December 5, 2000 -- CareAdvantage, Inc. (OTC: CADV) (the "Company) today announced that it entered into a Debt Satisfaction Agreement to convert approximately $1.58 million in indebtedness owed to Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey ("BCBS") and Horizon Healthcare of New Jersey, Inc. into the Company's common stock ("Healthcare"). BCBS is one of the Company's major stockholders owning approximately 45% of its currently outstanding common stock. Under the Debt Satisfaction Agreement, the Company will issue shares of common stock equal to the amount of the indebtedness owed by the Company to BCBS and Healthcare divided by the greater of (i) the average mean between the closing bid and asked prices per share of the Company's common stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board market for the twenty (20) trading days ending 5 business days before closing, or (ii) twelve ($.12) cents. The Company will also issue to BCBS and Healthcare an additional number of shares of common stock equal to twenty (20%) percent of the foregoing amount. Closing is subject to several contingencies including the consent by CW Ventures II, L.P., another major stockholder of the Company, which holds approximately 45% of its outstanding common stock. This consent has already been obtained. Also, because BCBS desires to hold the stock to be distributed to Healthcare, closing is subject to approval by the boards of directors of Healthcare (a second-tier subsidiary of BCBS) and Healthcare's parent corporation, as well as on approvals from the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. Unless the parties otherwise agree, in the event that the closing has not occurred by March 31, 2001, the agreement will be null and void. In connection with the transaction, the Company will amend its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock that it is authorized to issue from 103.6 million shares to 200 million shares. At the same time that it authorized the Company's entering into the Satisfaction of Indebtedness Agreement, the Company's Board of Directors amended the Company's Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares authorized under the Company's Stock Option Plan from 18,648,000 shares to 22,648,000 shares, and beginning January 1, 2002, to increase the number of shares authorized under the plan by three (3%) percent annually. The Company's two major stockholders, BCBS and CW Ventures II, L.P., owning more than 90% of the Company's common stock, approved the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and the amendments to the Stock Option Plan. The Company will be providing an Information Statement describing the action taken by these stockholders to the Company's stockholders of record as of December 11, 2000.
