Whom do I contact if I never received my stock certificate?
Shareholders of GKNT sometimes own their stock under what's referred to as a "street name" through their broker. Occasionally, shareholders do not receive their certificates unless specifically requested. To avoid this at the time of purchasing stock, please advise your broker that you would like to "hold the physical certificate". This will ensure that you will obtain the stock certificate, as well as all shareholder materials. If this scenario has already occurred, please contact the original broker or investment institution that handled the transaction.

What is a reverse stock split?
Geeknet stockholders approved a 'one for ten' reverse split of Geeknet common stock at a special stockholders meeting October 14, 2010. A reverse stock split reduces the total number of a company's issued and outstanding common shares. As a result of the reduction in the number of common shares, the price per common share increases upon completion of a reverse stock split.
When did the reverse stock split go into effect?
The reverse stock split went into effect on November 10, 2010. For the first 20 days following the split, NASDAQ added a 'D' to the ticket symbol to signify the change. The 'D' will be removed on December 8, 2010.
How can I participate in the Geeknet Share Repurchase Program (also known as the 'Odd Lot Program')?
On February 14, 2011, Geeknet initiated a voluntary program through which shareholders owning fewer than 100 shares of Geeknet common stock may either sell all their shares directly to the company or purchase additional shares to increase their holdings to 100 shares. Geeknet will be paying the transaction costs associated with this Program. The Program will run until April 29, 2011. For questions about this Program, please call 1-888-897-6125 or contact your broker or account representative.
What do I do with the shares I own now when there's a reverse stock split?
If your Geeknet shares of common stock are held in a brokerage account, your broker is authorized to exchange the shares for you and the number of shares you own after the split should be reflected in your account. You can contact your broker for more information.
If you hold the stock certificates yourself, you will receive a letter from ComputerShare, Geeknet's transfer agent, outlining how you must send your certificates back to ComputerShare to exchange them for new certificates. You should receive the information in the mail in about a week after the reverse stock split takes effect. You can contact ComputerShare and Trust for more information by calling (781) 575-3400.
