VANCOUVER, BC – April 5, 2006 - Cytiva Software Inc. (CRX: TSX:V), a leading provider of recruiting software solutions, announced today that it has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) to make a normal course issuer bid for up to 600,000 common shares of the Company, being 3.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. The bid will commence on April 11, 2006 and will continue until the earlier of April 10, 2007 and the date by which the Company has acquired the maximum 600,000 shares which may be purchased under the bid. Purchases will be made through the facilities of the Exchange only, in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange, and the price at which the Company will purchase its shares will be the market price of the shares at the time of acquisition. The Company has appointed Canaccord Capital Corp. as its broker to conduct normal course issuer bid transactions.

The Company has 17,655,002 common shares issued and outstanding. Common shares purchased by the Company will be returned to treasury for cancellation.

“Our Board of Directors believes that the current market price of our shares does not fully reflect the value of our business and our future prospects,” said Jason Moreau, the President and CEO of the Company. “Accordingly, the Board of Directors believes that having the Company purchase its own shares for cancellation is an appropriate strategy for increasing long term shareholder value.”
