  DICE INC. REPORTS SATISFACTION OF WAINNER ARBITRATION AWARD CLAIM AND EARLY
                  RELINQUISHMENT OF CERTAIN SPACE UNDER LEASE


New York, NY--January 8, 2003--Dice Inc. (NASDAQ: DICE), the leading provider of
online recruiting services for technology professionals, today reported that Mr.
Scott Wainner was paid $628,000 in full satisfaction of a $1 million arbitration
award issued in August 2002 in favor of Mr. Wainner against Dice Inc.

As a result of this payment in late December 2002, the company recorded in the
fourth quarter 2002 a reversal of approximately $400,000 of the $1 million
charge taken in the third quarter 2002. Mr. Wainner has relinquished all rights
to any further claims against the company.

Dice is continuing to seek recovery of the $628,000 from Jupitermedia
Corporation (formerly known as INT Media and internet.com) under the terms of an
Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December 22, 2000 pursuant to which
Jupitermedia assumed certain obligations of the company. Due to the inherent
uncertainties of litigation, the probability of recovery is not determinable;
therefore, no estimate of recovery has been recorded.

Dice also reported the early termination of its obligations with respect to a
portion of the space it leases in Urbandale, Iowa. The company and its landlord
have amended the lease to provide for the company to relinquish all rights to
approximately 45,000 sq. ft. of office space beginning in January 2003. As part
of this transaction, the company will pay to the landlord approximately $34,000
per year from 2003 through 2011. The company recorded a charge, including fees
and costs of the transaction, of approximately $460,000 in the fourth quarter
2002, which is reflected as a reduction of EBITDA. Of this amount, $260,000 will
be paid during 2003, and the remainder will be paid during 2004 through 2011. In
addition, the company will record a non-cash write-off of leasehold improvements
of approximately $400,000.

As a result of the early termination, the company's net lease obligations will
be reduced by approximately $650,000 annually beginning in 2003 and continuing
through 2011. Dice continues to lease approximately 24,000 sq. ft. at its
Urbandale facility.
