The undersigned Registrant hereby amends the following item of its Current

On March 4, 2003, Verticalnet, Inc. ("Verticalnet") issued a press release
setting forth Verticalnet's financial information for the quarter and the year
ended December 31, 2002. Footnote 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements
attached to the Press Release contained a statement to the effect that the
registrant intended to file corrected reports by amending the registrant's
quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2002, June 30,
2002 and September 30, 2002 prior to the filing of the registrant's Form 10-K
