Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement .

On August 19, 2011, GTSI Corp. (the “Company” or “GTSI”), entered into a Settlement and Redemption Agreement (the “Agreement”) among GTSI, The Eyak Corporation (“Eyak”), Eyak Technology, LLC (“EyakTek”) and Global Technology Group, LLC (“Global” and, together with Eyak, the “Continuing Members”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will sell its 37% ownership interest in EyakTek (the “GTSI Interest”) to EyakTek for Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in cash (the “Purchase Price”).

Under the Agreement, GTSI, EyakTek and the Continuing Members grant each other releases from certain named claims and disputes, and all proceedings relating to such disputes will be dismissed, including the current arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association, entitled Eyak Technology, LLC v. GTSI Corp., the action pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware entitled GTSI Corp. v. Eyak Technology, LLC, et al., and current requests under the Freedom of Information Act. In addition, The Eyak Corporation also agrees to withdraw its demands for specific action by the Board of Directors of GTSI (the “Board”).

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties, including, without limitation, confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. Readers should review the Agreement for a more complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this transaction.

In considering this decision, the Board consulted financial advisor Raymond James and Associates, Inc. (“Raymond James”), and legal advisor Holland & Knight LLP and discussed factors influencing a decision to enter into the Agreement. The Board received and relied upon a fairness opinion from Raymond James. In approving the Agreement, the Board also took into account EyakTek’s revenue and profits over the past year since exiting the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program, EyakTek’s future growth and profitability prospects, the fact that GTSI is a minority owner in EyakTek, the costs, legal fees and use of management time and attention associated with ongoing legal disputes with EyakTek, GTSI’s inability to materially influence the decisions or actions of EyakTek, and the opportunity to obtain liquidity and exit the investment at the agreed valuation. Based on these factors, the Board unanimously approved the Agreement. The Company anticipates using the proceeds from this sale for other purposes consistent with the Company’s plans.

The Company issued a press release on August 19, 2011 to announce its entry into this Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
