Item 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On February 13, 2008, GSI Commerce, Inc.("GSI") completed its previously announced acquisition of E-Dialog, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("E-Dialog").  The acquisition was made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 23, 2008, by and among GSI, Dolphin Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of GSI ("Acquisition Sub"), E-Dialog and the stockholders' representative referred to therein (the "Merger Agreement").  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Dolphin Acquisition Corporation merged with and into E-Dialog with E-Dialog surviving the merger (the “Merger”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of GSI.  As of the effective time of the Merger, the aggregate cash portion of the Merger consideration is approximately $147.7 million, which is comprised of $142.2 million payable to E-Dialog securityholders, $2.5 million in change of control payments payable to certain employees of E-Dialog and $3.0 million of transaction expenses incurred by E-Dialog.  In addition, GSI issued restricted share units of its common stock and restricted shares of its common stock with a fair value of approximately $9.3 million which is expected to be recognized as compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, by GSI over the requisite vesting period subsequent to the Merger.  In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, a portion of the aggregate Merger cash consideration payable to former E-Dialog stockholders is being held in escrow to secure claims by GSI for indemnification under the Merger Agreement and with respect to any exercise of appraisal rights by former E-Dialog stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2008.
