Obsidian Enterprises (OTCBB: OBDE) Increases Offer for Net Perceptions (Nasdaq: NETP) and Announces Extension of the Exchange Offer INDIANAPOLIS, March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Obsidian Enterprises, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: OBDE) , a holding company headquartered in Indianapolis, announced today that it will increase its offer to provide shareholders of Net Perceptions, Inc. the opportunity to receive twenty-five cents ($0.25) per share in cash and three one-hundredths (3/100) share of Obsidiancommon stock for each share of Net Perceptions common stock. The new offer represents an increase in the cash consideration of five cents ($0.05) per share over the existing offer. Commenting on these developments, Timothy S. Durham, CEO of Obsidian stated "We believe Net Perceptions' Board of Directors and management are out of touch with their shareholder base as reflected by Net Perceptions' inability to get a quorum at its recently scheduled special meeting more than 150 days after announcing its intentions to pursue a Plan of Liquidation. Net Perceptions' directors and management have obviously not offered a compelling alternative and continue to refuse to let the owners of Net Perceptions make the ultimate decision of ownership -- the decision to sell." Obsidian also announced that it has extended its exchange offer until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, April 7, 2004. In connection with the extension, Obsidian announced that one condition to the exchange offer, that Net Perceptions not take further action in connection with its proposed plan of liquidation, has been waived, but only to the extent of actions taken to date.

The offer was scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 17, 2004. As of the close of business on March 17, 2004, based on information received from the exchange agent, approximately 1,135,149 Net Perceptions shares had been deposited.
