Leading Publications Recognize Verticalnet for Powering Supply Management Excellence at Delta Air Lines

Verticalnet Supply management solutions gets Delta Air Lines named a “Top 10 Project” for 2006

Malvern, PA, August 22 2006 Verticalnet, Inc. (Nasdaq:VERT), a leading provider of on demand supply management solutions, today announced that Verticalnet customer Delta Air Lines has been featured in two leading trade publications for their implementation of Verticalnet supply management solutions.
Baseline (www.baselinemag.com), a leading business and information-technology publication, recently recognized the Delta Air Lines spend analysis project as one of the “Top 10 Projects in ‘06”. According to an extensive survey of business and IT executives, Supply Chain Management, which includes strategic sourcing and supply management, is the sixth highest spending priority of corporations of varying sizes.

The Verticalnet/Delta Air Lines project is featured by Baseline as a superlative example of a Supply Chain Management project. “Delta Air Lines last year launched a project to analyze $9 billion in annual spending with 6,000 suppliers in a consistent way, using hosted services from Verticalnet,” wrote Todd Spangler of Baseline. “The system, brought online last summer, lets the airline’s 115 supply-chain professionals easily find out exactly what Delta spent with a given vendor over a certain period.” Baseline reports that Delta credits the new spend analysis solution with reducing the man-hours required to perform spend analysis by over 90%.

In the current issue of CPO Agenda (www.cpoagenda.com), Delta is featured as a dedicated SAP user gaining significant value from the Verticalnet best of breed solution. In the article, Bob Currey, General Manager of Sourcing Innovation and Supplier Management for Delta explains why Delta chose the Verticalnet best of breed solution for supply management: “In any business, programming resources are often at a premium,” he says. “You can build a business case and wait in line – and then carry on waiting, perhaps indefinitely, for the resources that you need to be made available. Or you can go to a ‘best-of-breed’ vendor, and buy what you need, off the shelf. For us, the time-to-benefit of the Verticalnet solution made a lot of sense.”

“Delta Air Lines is a perfect example of a company that is using our On Demand solutions to supplement their ERP system to improve their business performance,” said Nathanael V. Lentz, Verticalnet President and CEO. “Over the past several years, Delta’s use of our solutions has grown to encompass our entire suite of on demand supply management solutions. As Delta’s industry has gone through challenging times, supply management has continued to increase in importance. We are pleased that Delta continues to look to Verticalnet to drive down costs while improving supply management performance.”

Verticalnet Verkündet Die Umschuldung Malvern, PA, Dezember 20, 2006 - (GESCHÄFT LEITUNG) ändert Verticalnet, Inc. (Nasdaq:VERT), ein führender Versorger der on-demand Versorgungsmaterial-Managementlösungen, heute verkündetes Material zu seinen Primärkreditverträgen. In einer sek Form ordnete 8-K heute, verkündete Verticalnet seine Eintragung in drei neue Vereinbarungen und die Änderung von zwei anderen Vereinbarungen in bezug auf seine älteren gesicherten umwandelbaren versprechenden Anmerkungen und seine ältere unterstellte versprechende Anmerkung des Diskonts, deren Nettoauswirkung soll die Reife der Diskontgutschrift von einem Januar 31, 2007 bis April 1, 2008, auf die Re-Preis Ermächtigungen verschieben ein, die vorher den Haltern der umwandelbaren Anmerkungen, um die Hauptmenge der Diskontgutschrift von $5.3 Million bis $5.5 Million zu erhöhen bewilligt wurden und eine unterstellte Beteiligung im Wertpapiersektor an den Werten Verticalnets zum Halter der Diskontgutschrift zur Verfügung zu stellen. Resultierend aus diesen Tätigkeiten $4.7 ist Million der Schuld, die als fällige kurzfristige Verbindlichkeit auf Bilanzstichtag Verticalnets September 30 eingestuft wird, 2006 auf einer pro-forma Grundlage als lange Bezeichnung Verpflichtung reklassifiziert worden. Eine nichte geprüft verkürzte vereinigte proforma Bilanz wird hierin angebracht.

On December 19, 2006, Verticalnet and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a security agreement with the discount note holder and granted the discount note holder a subordinated security interest in all of the assets of Verticalnet and its domestic subsidiaries. Also on this date, Verticalnet, the convertible note holders, and the discount note holder each executed a subordination and intercreditor agreement, which provides, among other things, for the subordination of the discount note to the convertible notes. As a result of granting a security interest for the discount note, the discount note holder's right to declare the note due any time after January 31, 2007 has been eliminated and the resulting maturity date for the discount note became November 18, 2007.
On December 20, 2006, Verticalnet and the discount note holder entered into an amendment to the discount note, further extending the maturity date of the discount note to April 1, 2008, while increasing the principal due under the note from $5.3 million to $5.5 million.

"Today's announcement was an important step in our efforts to realign our balance sheet to position ourselves financially to support future growth," stated Nathanael V. Lentz, President and CEO of Verticalnet. "By extending the maturity date of our discount note by fourteen months, we gain the flexibility to undertake longer term opportunities to recapitalize our balance sheet. We believe today's announcement demonstrates the willingness of both our convertible note holders and our discount note holder to work with Verticalnet management to support our long term vision for the business and sends a strong message to our customers, prospects, employees, and shareholders."

Das Volumen nimmt langsam auch zu,ne zeit lang war ja so gut wie null volumen in usa...die 1$ ist ja kein weiter sprung,sollte das dilisting wirklich drohen, ist das doch mit ein wenig kurspflege schnell getan, bei einer so kleinen Marktkapitalisierung!hab mir jetzt 2 mal welche von verticalnet gegönnt, hoffe war kein Fehler?
