Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form S-1
File No. 333-59609
Dear Mr. Daly:
In accordance with Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, EXE
Technologies, Inc. ("EXE") hereby requests immediate withdrawal of its
Registration Statement on Form S-1, originally filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on July 22, 1998, and amended on August 31, 1998 and
September 24, 1998 (the "Registration Statement"). EXE requests withdrawal of
the Registration Statement due to recent unfavorable market conditions for
enterprise software vendors. None of the securities covered by the
Registration Statement were offered for sale or sold.
EXE requests that the Commission grant at the staff's earliest convenience an
order dated as of the date of this request to approve this application.
Please provide EXE and EXE's legal counsel, Michael P. Gallagher, Esq.,
Pepper Hamilton LLP, 1235 Westlakes Drive, Suite 400, Berwyn, PA, 19312, with
a copy of the order approving this application as soon as it is available. If
you have any questions regarding this application, please do not hesitate to
contact Mr. Gallagher at (610) 640-7807.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Raymond R. Hood
