The 2007 annual meeting of shareholders of Verticalnet, Inc. ("Verticalnet") has been scheduled for August 15, 2007 (the "Annual Meeting"). Because the date of the Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of Verticalnet’s 2006 annual meeting of shareholders, in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) and Rule 14a-8(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the deadline for receipt of shareholder proposals for inclusion in Verticalnet’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 has been set at June 25, 2007.

In order for a proposal under Rule 14a-8 to be considered timely, it must be received by Verticalnet on or prior to June 25, 2007 at Verticalnet’s principal executive offices at 400 Chester Field Parkway, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355 (the "Executive Offices") and be directed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary.

Also, in order for a shareholder proposal made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act to be considered timely within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, the proposal must be received by Verticalnet at the Executive Offices on or before June 25, 2007.
