</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Pursuant to Rule&nbsp;477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Champion
Enterprises, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) hereby applies to the Securities and Exchange Commission for an
order granting the withdrawal of the Company&#146;s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No.
333-160372), together with all exhibits thereto (collectively, the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;). The
Registration Statement was originally filed with the Commission on July&nbsp;1, 2009, and was never
declared effective. No securities have been sold under the Registration Statement.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is requesting this withdrawal because its common stock was removed from listing on the
New York Stock Exchange and the Chicago Stock Exchange due to the Company&#146;s filing on November&nbsp;15,
2009 of a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter&nbsp;11 of the US Bankruptcy Code.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Please contact the undersigned at 248-614-8200 with any questions concerning this request.</DIV>
