Centiv, Inc. to Make Appeal to NASDAQ Regarding Delisting.

Business Editors

VERNON HILLS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 2003

Centiv, Inc. {NASDAQ: CNTV), announced that it has received a NASDAQ Staff Determination letter that the Company fails to comply with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing and therefore the Company's securities are subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Small Cap Market.

The Company will appeal this decision, and has requested a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. There can be no assurance the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. The stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market pending the outcome of the appeal process. In the event the Company's request for continued listing on the Small Cap Market is not granted, the stock would then trade on the NASDAQ's OTC Bulletin Board, under the same symbol.

John Larkin, President and CEO of Centiv, commented, "The Company has been aware of this issue and as a result has been in the process of seeking a private equity round of financing and anticipates a closing by the end of March. We expect that this financing will allow the Company to regain compliance with NASDAQ's stockholders' equity requirements."
