ITEM 3 IS HEREBY AMENDED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING: The shares of Common Stock purchased by Edward Sanchez, Jr. and Sean P. Sears were purchased the personal funds of such Reporting Persons. ITEM 4 IS HEREBY AMENDED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING: On March, 14, 2003, SSH filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announcing its intention to nominate a slate of directors to replace the current board of directors of the Issuer at its next annual meeting. The nominees of SSH include Edward Sanchez, Jr. and Sean P. Sears, and as such, under the rules of the SEC, they may be deemed to be members of a group with SSH. Sanchez and Sears originally acquired the Common Stock held by them for investment purposes. Each of Sanchez's and Sears' primary interest is to maximize the value of his investment. To this end, both Sanchez and Sears intend continually to review the Issuer's business affairs and financial position and future prospects, as well as conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industrial conditions. Based on such evaluation and review and other factors (including, without limitation, the attitude of the Board of Directors and management of the Issuer), each of Sanchez and Sears will continue to consider various alternative courses of action and will in the future take such actions with respect to his investment in the Issuer as he deems appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. Such actions include seeking representation on the Board of Directors of the Issuer, and may also include making recommendations to members of management concerning various business strategies, acquisitions, dividend policies and other matters, seeking to acquire control of the Issuer through a merger, proxy solicitation, tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise, or such other actions as Sanchez or Sears may deem appropriate. Such actions may involve the purchase of additional Common Stock or, alternatively, may involve the sale of all or a portion of the Common Stock held by them in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions to one or more purchasers. ITEM 5 IS HEREBY AMENDED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING: (a) and (b) Sanchez beneficially owns, as of the date hereof, 36,610 shares of Common Stock, representing 0.11% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Sanchez include warrants to purchase 17,410 shares of Common Stock which are currently exercisable for $8.98 per share held by ES Capital Partners LLP, of which ES Advisors LLC is the general partner. Mr. Sanchez wholly owns and controls ES Advisors LLC. The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Sanchez also include 19,200 shares of common stock in an account owned by First New York Securities, L.L.C. and managed by Mr. Sanchez . Mr. Sanchez has shared voting and dispositive power with respect to such shares of common stock owned by First New York Securities, L.L.C. Sears beneficially owns, as of the date hereof, 3,450 shares of Common Stock, representing 0.01% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Mr. Sanchez and Mr. Sears have the sole power to vote and dispose of the Common Stock beneficially owned by them. Each of Sanchez , Sears, Ron Bienvenu, James Dennedy, Scott Fine and Peter Richards disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of common stock beneficially owned by any other Reporting Person. Each of the Empire entities and Charter Oaks disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of common stock beneficially owned by any of Sanchez, Sears, Broken Arrow I, L.P. and SSH. Each of Broken Arrow I, L.P. and SSH disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of common stock beneficially owned by any of the Empire entities or Charter Oaks.

EX-99.1 3 s6599813dx991.txt PRESS RELEASE STRATEGIC SOFTWARE HOLDINGS ANNOUNCES SLATE OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES FOR MERCATOR SOFTWARE INC. New York, NY, March 14, 2003 -- Strategic Software Holdings ("SSH") today has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, announcing its intention to nominate a slate of directors to replace the current board of directors of Mercator Software Inc. (Nasdaq: MCTR) at the company's next annual meeting in May. SSH's nominees are: o Rodney Bienvenu, Chairman and CEO of Strategic Software Holdings and former President and CEO of SageMaker, Inc.; o Peter J. Boni, Chairman and CEO of Surebridge, Inc. and former CEO of Prime Response; o Dan Hoogterp, Founder and CEO of TQuist and former CEO of Retrieval Technologies Inc.; o Edward Sanchez, Jr., Founder of ES Advisors LLC; o Sean Sears, CEO, President and Founder of Abridean and former President of Cycor Communications; o Michael Turillo, Jr., Partner, Financial Services, IBM Business Consulting Services; and o Michael R. Wodopian, Director of Marketing, Optical Products Group, Intel Corporation. Rodney Bienvenu, Chairman and CEO of SSH, stated, "As Mercator's largest shareholder, we are taking this action because the current board has steered the company into a precarious situation and the company lacks a realistic strategy for creating shareholder value. Management's current plan fails to address the market realities of the enterprise software market and Mercator's position in it. In addition, management seems oblivious to the fact that the company has become all but invisible to the outside world and is increasingly becoming irrelevant in the marketplace. With almost no analyst coverage and a steadily declining share of the enterprise applications market, shareholders must act before their investments dwindle to nothing. The history of the enterprise software market is littered with companies that simply withered away while an entrenched board and well paid management team fiddled, leaving shareholders holding a sad, empty bag. "We believe our nominees will be far better stewards of shareholders' investments. Our slate of nominees brings a wealth of experience across every aspect of the enterprise software industry and their expertise and credentials will be highly valuable to the company, its customers, its shareholders, and its employees as we explore all strategic alternatives to maximize the value of Mercator." ABOUT SSH Strategic Software Holdings is an investment firm that makes equity investments and executes buyouts on behalf of itself and its investors. Based in Westport, Connecticut, the firm draws on the partners' extensive knowledge of all aspects of the enterprise software industry to execute high value strategic transactions and to achieve substantial risk adjusted returns for shareholders and portfolio companies. SSH makes equity investments for long-term appreciation, either through a controlling ownership of a company or by taking strategic minority ownership interests. SSH co-invests a significant portion of its capital in its investments and shares the risks of ownership with its investors. SSH filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today a preliminary proxy statement relating to the solicitation of proxies with respect to the 2003 Mercator annual meeting of stockholders. SSH will file with the Commission, and will furnish to Mercator's stockholders, a definitive proxy statement and may file other proxy solicitation materials. Investors and security holders are urged to read the proxy statement and any other proxy solicitation materials (when they become available) because they will contain important information. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the preliminary proxy statement and the definitive proxy statement (when it is available) and other documents filed by SSH with the Commission at the Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov/.
