GSI Commerce, Inc. Calls for Redemption
All Outstanding 3.00% Convertible Notes Due 2025

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., April 21, 2010 – GSI Commerce Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIC) announced today that it had called for redemption all of the $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.00% convertible notes due 2025. The redemption date has been set for June 7, 2010. In accordance with the redemption provisions of the notes and the indenture for the notes, the notes will be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes. In addition, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed notes up to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In accordance with the conversion provisions of the notes and the indenture for the notes, holders of the notes have the right at any time on and after May 1, 2010 and prior to the close of business on June 4, 2010, to convert their notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 56.1545 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes representing a conversion price of approximately $17.808 per share. Because the common stock is currently trading at a price above the conversion price, the Company expects that substantially all of the notes will be converted.

Questions regarding the redemption or conversion of the notes should be directed to The Bank of New York Mellon, the trustee under the indenture governing the notes, at 1-800-254-2826.
