Effective as of September 13, 2000, the Registrant was acquired by
Commerce One, a Delaware corporation ("Commerce One"), by way of a merger (the
"Merger") in which Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Commerce One, merged with and into the Registrant. The Registrant,
as the surviving corporation, in the Merger, continues to exist under Delaware
law as a wholly owned subsidiary of Commerce One. In connection with the Merger,
0.8 shares of Commerce One common stock were exchanged for each share of common
stock of the Registrant outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the
Merger and Commerce One assumed all of the Registrant's stock options and
warrants outstanding at the effective date of the Merger, based on the 0.8
exchange ratio. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, there are no holders of
record of Common Stock of the Registrant.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
APPNET, INC. has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned duly authorized person.
