DriverShield Corp. Changes Name to Accessity Corp. And Ticker Symbol to 'ACTY'



   New Name Reflects Diversification of Business Into Non-Automotive Areas

    CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., Jan. 24 -- DriverShield Corp. announced today that its name has officially
been changed to Accessity Corp.  Also, the Company's stock will begin trading
today under its new ticker symbol, ACTY.
    The new corporate name, approved by shareholders at the Company's 2002
Annual Meeting in December, reflects the Company's decision to diversify its
business, lessening its traditional dependence on automotive related
businesses.
    "We believe the Accessity name, which has no automotive or any other
specific connotations, is more appropriate for a company whose principal
future growth will be derived from businesses outside the auto services
sector," said Barry Siegel, Chairman and CEO.
    In keeping with the Company's plan to diversify, on January 21, 2003 the
Company announced a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire Presidion
Solutions, Inc., headquartered in Troy, Michigan, a fast-growing, privately
held national leader in the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) industry.
PEOs provide human resources, regulatory compliance and employee benefits
management services to small and medium-sized businesses, giving them the
advantages of economies of scale.  Presidion, which has 3,500 clients and some
50,000 worksite employees, is profitable and has revenues in excess of
$750 million.
    DriverShield, now in its 20th year, began as a nationwide claims
management company for self-insured corporate and municipal auto fleets,
handling such services as collision repair, subrogation and salvage disposal.
The fleet business unit was sold in February 2002 to PHH Arval, a subsidiary
of Cendant Corp.
    The Company will continue to operate its profitable Auto Discounts and
Services (ADS) business, which provides, among other things, auto repair and
maintenance service programs to consumers through financial institutions and
membership organizations.
    The Company began its diversification effort in late 2002 with the launch
of Sentaur, a business that provides medical subrogation services to hospitals
and other health care providers.
