PFSweb Stockholders Approve Merger with eCOST.com
Plano, Texas, January 24, 2006 — PFSweb, Inc. (Nasdaq: PFSW), a global provider of integrated business process outsourcing (BPO) solutions, announced today that, at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on January 24, 2006, its stockholders approved the issuance of PFSweb shares in connection with the previously announced definitive merger agreement with eCOST.com (Nasdaq: ECST), a leading online discount retailer. The merger is expected to close by February 1, 2006, subject to certain additional conditions.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, PFSweb will issue to eCOST.com shareholders one PFSweb common share for each outstanding share of eCOST.com in a tax-free, share-for-share transaction where eCOST.com will become a wholly owned subsidiary of PFSweb. In connection with the merger, PFSweb stockholders also approved the proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of PFSweb common stock from 40 million shares to 75 million shares.
All proposals were approved by more than 92% of the approximately 12 million shares voted. Management would like to send its appreciation to the numerous shareholders and brokers who provided their assistance in the voting process. This process underlines the importance of shareholders casting their votes.
eCOST.com stockholders approved the definitive merger agreement with PFSweb at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held yesterday, January 23, 2006. Following the closing of the merger, shares of eCOST.com common stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq.
