Bull & Lifshitz, LLP announces an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with the proposed acquisition of GSI Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSIC - News) (referred to as "GSI" or the “Company”) by eBay Inc. (“eBay”) in a cash transaction valued at approximately $2.4 billion.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, GSI shareholders will receive $29.25 per share. GSI may solicit acquisition proposals from third parties for a 40-day “go-shop” period continuing through May 6, 2011. The merger agreement provides eBay with a right to match a superior proposal.
