SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration (e-SIM Ltd., Ordinary Shares, Par Value NIS .10 per 
Share); File No. 1-14842

March 15, 2000.
    E-SIM Ltd. (``Company''), has filed an application with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

[[Page 15186]]

(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) \2\ thereunder, to withdraw the 
security described above (``Security'') from listing and registration 
on the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Security has been listed on the Amex and registered pursuant to 
Section 12(b) of the Act \3\ under a Registration Statement which 
became effective on July 7, 1998. Subsequently the Company has 
determined to transfer trading in its Security from the Amex to the 
Nasdaq stock Market, Inc. (``Nasdaq''). The Company has registered its 
Security pursuant to section 12(g) of the Act \4\ under a Registration 
Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on March 9, 2000. The 
Security became designated for quotation and began trading on the 
Nasdaq National Market on March 14, 2000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In making the determination to transfer its Security from trading 
on the Amex to the Nasdaq National Market, the Company considered that 
the Security would benefit from better exposure and a more liquid 
market on the Nasdaq among other issuers whose primary business relates 
to Internet technology.
    The Company has stated that it has complied with the Rules of the 
Amex governing the withdrawal of its Security from listing and 
registration on the Amex and that the Exchange in turn has indicated 
that it will not oppose such withdrawal.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing and registration on the Amex and shall have no 
effect upon the Security's continued designation for quotation and 
trading on the Nasdaq National Market. By reason of section 12(g) of 
the Act \5\ and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, 
the company shall continue to be obligated to file reports with the 
Commission required by Section 13 of the Act.\6\

    Any interested person may, on or before April 5, 2000, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether

and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority. \7\
