Registration Statement on Form 8-A (No. 000-31919)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Please accept this letter as a request for the Commission's consent to
the withdrawal of our Registration Statement referenced above. We note that a
similar request for withdrawal of our Registration Statement on Form S-1
(Registration No. 333-49512) was filed with the Commission on January 10, 2001.
The initial public offering ("IPO") contemplated in connection with these
Registration Statements has been terminated due to unfavorable market conditions
in our industry, as indicated by the IPO market for comparable companies and by
the reductions in the stock prices of comparable public companies over the past
few months.
Upon grant of the Commission's consent hereto, please return a dated
copy of the order granting such withdrawal, which order shall state "Withdrawn
upon the request of the registrant, the Commission consenting thereto," and
which is to be included in the file for the Registration Statement referenced
above.
Otherwise, please direct all inquiries to Donald R. Reynolds at (919)
781-4000.
Respectfully,
HAHT COMMERCE, INC.
/s/ Rowland Archer
