On January 26, 2007, Zion accepted subscription agreements in a total amount of $2,008,111 received from 484 subscribers to its public offering of shares of common stock (the "offering") subject of Zion's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2006 (the "Registration Statement"). Pursuant to the accepted subscription agreements, the subscribers subscribed for 286,873 shares of Zion's common stock at $7.00 per share to be issued by Zion at the second closing of the offering (the "second closing").
The second closing took place on January 29, 2007. At the second closing Zion issued instructions to the escrow agent to disburse proceeds of the cash subscriptions in the amount of $1,750,152.89 to the company and issued 286,873 shares of its common stock to its transfer agent for distribution in accordance with the instructions of the subscribers. The remaining $227,578.11 of funds in the escrow account were distributed at the second closing to Network 1 Financial Services, Inc., the underwriter of the offering, in accordance with the terms of the underwriting agreement as described in the Registration Statement, as follows: $111,718.74 in commissions, $55,859.37 of expense reimbursement and $60,000 in financial advisory and investment banking fees. At the second closing, Zion also issued to the underwriter, in accordance with the terms of the underwriting agreement, an Underwriter's Warrant to purchase 6,593 shares of Zion common stock at a price of $8.75 per share to be exercisable for a period beginning six months after the final closing of the offering and expiring on December 28, 2009.
Zion will use the proceeds of the second closing for the purposes and in the amounts described in the Registration Statement.
