Each Unit will consist of one share of Zion's common stock and warrants to purchase two additional shares of Zion's common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. Under the rights offering, stockholders of record on the record date will therefore have the right to subscribe for one Unit for every four shares of common stock owned on the record date, equivalent to 0.25 subscription rights for each share of common stock owned on the record date.
Each whole subscription right will entitle the stockholders of record on the record date to subscribe for one Unit at the per Unit purchase price of $5.00. The warrant will be exercisable for a one-year period beginning on the closing date after the rights offering expires. The rights offering is planned to commence as soon as practicable after the record date and to continue through 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time on July 25, subject to Zion's right to extend the offering in its sole discretion. The rights offering will also include an over-subscription privilege, entitling a stockholder who exercises all of their basic subscription privilege the right to purchase additional Units that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to the availability and pro-rata allocation of securities among stockholders exercising their over-subscription right.

Apple previewed the latest version of its mobile operating system iOS 5. The company also released a beta version to iOS Developer Program members.

Additionally, Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the eighth and latest version of the Mac OS X operating system, called Lion. The Mac OS X Lion, which comes with more than 250 new features, will be available to customers in July as a download from the Mac App Store for $29.99.
In addition, Apple unveiled iCloud, a set of free new cloud services that work with applications on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC to automatically and wirelessly store content in iCloud and automatically and wirelessly push it to all devices. The free iCloud services include, among others, the former MobileMe services, App Store and iBookstore, iTunes and Photo Stream service. iCloud includes 5GB of free cloud storage for Mail, Document Storage and Backup. Apple said it is ready to ramp iCloud in its three data centers, including the third recently completed in Maiden, NC. iCloud would be available this fall concurrent with iOS 5. iCloud keeps your important information and content up to date across all your devices. All of this happens automatically and wirelessly, and because it's integrated into our apps you don't even need to think about it—it all just works, Jobs said.
