CALGARY , Oct. 30 /CNW/ - Zaio Corporation ("Zaio" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that on October 30, 2009 (the "Closing Date") it completed the second and final of a series of closings for a non-brokered private placement previously announced on September 15, 2009 . The second closing placed 7,312,499 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,096,875.05 (the "Final Closing").

From the first closing and Final Closing, Zaio has now placed 8,824,499 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of approximately $1,323,675.05 .

Each Unit consisted of one (1) common share in the capital of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") and one half (1/2) of one (1) common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) Common Share of the Corporation at an exercise price of $0.25 for a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date (the "Exercise Period"). At the option of the Corporation, the Exercise Period for the Warrants may be shortened from twelve (12) months to thirty (30) days should the Common Shares trade at a price equal to or greater than $0.50 for five (5) consecutive trading days.

Upon the Final Closing, Finders' fees were paid to arm's length third parties of Zaio consisting of cash in the aggregate amount of $47,841.00 being 6% of the gross proceeds raised by the Finders and 425,253 Finders' compensation warrants (the "Finders' Warrants") being 8% of the number of Common Shares subscribed for through the Finders) were issued to the Finders. The Finders' Warrants were issued on the same terms and conditions as the Warrants.

All the Common Shares, Warrants, Finders' Warrants and Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and Finders' Warrants are subject to a four month hold period.

The proceeds of the Final Closing will be used for settlement of current debts and corporate overhead.
