On September 10, 2009, Coinstar, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Jefferies & Company, Inc. and RBC Capital Markets Corporation on behalf of themselves and the other underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters") relating to the issuance and sale in a public offering (the "Notes Offering") of $175,000,000 principal amount of its 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the "Notes"). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $25,000,000 principal amount of Notes solely to cover over-allotments.

The Notes are to be issued under an Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture to be entered into between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The offering of the Notes has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by the Company as part of its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-161523) (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 24, 2009. The Registration Statement was supplemented by a prospectus supplement setting forth the terms of the Notes that the Company filed with the SEC.

The closing of the Notes Offering is expected to occur on September 16, 2009, subject to customary closing conditions.

Some of the Underwriters and their affiliates have performed investment and commercial banking and advisory services for the Company from time to time, including serving as parties to and/or lenders under the Company's senior secured credit facility, for which they have received customary fees and commissions as well as interest payments as applicable. Affiliates of the Underwriters who are lenders under the Company's senior secured credit facility will receive net proceeds from the Notes Offering as the Company will use proceeds to pay down outstanding amounts under the facility. The Underwriters and their affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and provide financial advisory and investment banking services for the Company in the ordinary course of their business.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, and customary conditions to closing, indemnification rights, obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
