AuthentiDate Holding Corp. Announces
Expansion of Board of Directors;
Seeks Two New Independent Directors
Fiscal Year Change Also Delayed

Schenectady, NY–October 29, 2004–AuthentiDate Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: ADAT) today announced that the Company has decided to expand the Board of Directors to nine members and add two new independent directors. The new nominees will stand for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders, tentatively scheduled for January 20, 2005.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors has agreed to retain an independent international executive search firm to assist in the selection and recommendation of candidates to the Board. In addition, the Committee will consider qualified candidates recommended by the Company’s shareholders. Three candidates recommended by shareholders are currently under consideration and the Committee intends to consider several additional candidates before making its recommendation.

The Company further stated that the Board is seeking one candidate with technical expertise in Authentidate’s area of business and one candidate with accounting expertise and a willingness to serve as the Chairman of Authentidate’s Audit Committee.

The Board’s determination was made in conjunction with the appointment of Suren Pai, the Company’s new President and Chief Executive Officer, to the Board and the adoption of new corporate governance principles. John Botti, who has served as Authentidate’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board. The Board’s decision to increase the size of the Board for the purpose of electing two additional independent directors will ensure that the Board will have a substantial majority of independent directors who will be able to effectively oversee the Company’s operations and compliance with the new corporate governance principles.

On an unrelated matter, the Company also announced that it has determined to temporarily delay the change in Authentidate’s fiscal year end from June 30 to a calendar year end. Earlier this year, Authentidate announced that it would change its fiscal year to a calendar year commencing with the year ending December 31, 2005.
