                     Gap Inc. Announces Intermediate Term
                        Private Placement Note Offering

SAN FRANCISCO -- November 7, 2001 -- Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS) announced today that
it intends to offer senior unsecured interest bearing intermediate term notes in
an amount and with specific terms to be determined. The company expects to
complete the note offering later this month, subject to market conditions.  The
net proceeds from the note offering are expected to be used for general
corporate purposes including possible repayment of short-term indebtedness.

The notes will be privately offered only to qualified institutional buyers under
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and outside the United States to non-
U.S. persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes have not
been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable
exemption from registration requirements.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of
an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the notes in any state in which
such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the securities laws of such state.
