ITEM  3     PRESS  RELEASE

               A  press  release  with  respect to the material change described
               herein  was  issued  on  April  4,  2002.

ITEM  4     SUMMARY  OF  MATERIAL  CHANGE

               Diversinet  Corp.  (the  "Corporation")  announced  that  it  has
               completed  a  private  placement  through  Allen  &  Company
               Incorporated  ("Allen"),  as  underwriter, of 5,186,708 shares of
               the  Company's  Common Stock (the "Shares") for gross proceeds of
               US$3,112,022.

ITEM  5     FULL  DESCRIPTION  OF  MATERIAL  CHANGE

               The  Corporation  announced  that  it  has  completed  a  private
               placement  through  Allen as underwriter, of 5,186,708 units at a
               price  of  US$0.60  per  unit for gross proceeds of US$3,112,022.

               Each unit is comprised of one (1) common share and three-quarters
               (3/4) of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a
               "Warrant").  Each  Warrant  will  entitle  the  holder thereof to
               acquire  one  (1)  common  share at a price of US$0.72 per common
               share  for  a period of up to three years from April 4, 2002. The
               common shares and the common shares issuable upon exercise of the
               Warrants may be re-sold in the public markets once a registration
               statement  has been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and
               Exchange  Commission.

               The  shares  were purchased primarily by institutional investors,
               and  these  funds  will  be  used for working capital and general
               operations.

               Allen  is  entitled  to receive a commission fee in the amount of
               $140,000  and 100,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company,
               exercisable  for  a period of three years at a price of $0.72 per



                                     Page 2

               common share. Furthermore, Allen shall have the right, subject to
               applicable  law  and regulations, to purchase up to 234,000 units
               (the  "Units")  consisting  of  one Share and warrant (all on the
               same  terms  as Subscribers purchasing in the Offering) such that
               the  number  of  Warrants associated with the Shares purchased by
               Allen  would  equal  up  to  175,500  Warrants (with each of such
               Warrants  exercisable  at price of $0.72 per share). The price of
               each  Unit  shall  be $0.60, and Allen shall have until April 30,
               2002  to  elect to purchase the Units, after which time the right
               to  purchase  the  234,000  Units  (and  the  associated  175,500
               Warrants)  shall  cease.
