ZIPLOCAL INC. (TSX VENTURE:ZIP.H) ("Ziplocal" or the "Company") announced today

brokered private placement of units (the "Units"), at a price of $1,000 per

Each whole Unit will consist of a $1,000 principal amount 10% unsecured
convertible debenture (a "Debenture") and 10,000 warrants ("Warrants"). The
Debentures will mature on the second anniversary of the date of closing (the
"Maturity Date") and will be convertible at the holder's option into common
shares of Ziplocal (the "Common Shares") at any time before the Maturity Date at
a conversion price of $0.10 per Common Share. The Debentures will automatically
convert into Common Shares upon the consolidation of all of Common Shares on the
basis of one new Common Share for every 10 Common Shares outstanding (the
"Consolidation") at a conversion price equal to the greater of: (i) $0.10 per
Common Share; and (ii) the average trading price of Common Shares over the five
day trading period immediately following the Consolidation. Each Warrant will be
exercisable to acquire one Common Share, at an exercise price of $0.15 per
Common Share, at any time up to the first anniversary of the closing date. There
will be no adjustment to the conversion price, the exercise price of the
Warrants and the number of Common Shares to be received on conversion of the
Debentures or the exercise of the Warrants as a result of the Consolidation, but
the Debentures and the Warrants will otherwise be subject to standard
anti-dilution provisions.


At closing, the Agent will receive a commission equal to 6.0% of the gross
proceeds raised under the Offering.


The proceeds of the Offering will be used for working capital and general
corporate purposes. 


Completion of the Offering is subject to receipt of all required regulatory
approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). 


All of the securities issuable in connection with the Offering will be subject
to a hold period expiring four months and one day after the closing date of the
Offering.
