ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A DEFINITIVE MATERIAL AGREEMENT

On September 17, 2012 (the "Closing Date"), Geeknet, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Dice Holdings, Inc. ("Dice") and two of Dice's subsidiaries, Dice Career Solutions, Inc. and eFinancialCareers Limited (collectively, the "Buyers") pursuant to which the Buyers purchased the Company's online media business, including the SourceForge, Slashdot and Freecode websites (the "Purchased Business") and assumed certain related liabilities.

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Buyers paid to the Company $20,000,000 in cash, of which $3,000,000 was deposited by the Buyers into an escrow account for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date in order to secure the Company's indemnification obligations to the Buyers for breaches of the Company's representations, warranties, covenants and other obligations made under the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, each party has agreed to indemnify the other for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants and other specified matters. The Purchase Agreement also contains covenants requiring the Company not to solicit or hire certain employees of the Buyers or compete with the Purchased Business for a period of three years. The Company and Dice have also agreed to provide certain transition services to one another following the Closing Date for a period up to six months.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Purchase Agreement and the above description of the Purchase Agreement have been included to provide investors and securityholders with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
