<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This press release includes forward-looking statements relating to matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the
use of words such as &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategy. While GAIAM believes its assumptions and expectations underlying forward-looking statements are reasonable,
there can be no assurance that actual results will not be materially different. Risks and uncertainties that could cause materially different results include, among others, GAIAM&#146;s ability to successfully close the sale of its branded consumer
product business, the level of participation in GAIAM&#146;s issuer tender offer, the results from operations of GAIAM&#146;s other businesses, and other risks and uncertainties included in GAIAM&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. GAIAM assumes no duty to update any forward-looking statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Contacts </B></P>
