Z Trim Holdings Announces Conclusion of Successful Warrant Exercise Program: Raises $2.195 Million

MUNDELEIN, Ill., March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Z Trim Holdings, Inc. (OTC Markets: ZTHO), a bio-technology company providing value-added ingredients to a variety of industries, today announced that its recently-concluded warrant exercise program resulted in the exercise of 1,756,088 warrants into 1,756,088 shares of ZTHO common stock.  The conversion of these warrants raised $2.195 million in additional capital for the Company.  The warrant program, open to all holders of $1.50 warrants, allowed those warrant holders to exercise their warrants for a $1.25 strike price during the month of February 2013.

"The additional capital will permit Z Trim Holdings to continue to expand its sales and research efforts and allow us to build necessary levels of inventory, as our major growth in production and sales continues upward," said Steve Cohen, Z Trim Holdings' Chairman and CEO.

"More importantly, the successful exercise program was a resounding statement from our investors that they believe in our Company and what we are doing to build and expand our business across the food and industrial sectors," Cohen said.  "They believe in us and we have a tremendous obligation to show them that their trust is well-placed."

Z Trim recently announced its first sale of industrial grade bio-fiber gum and that its sales in the first two months of 2013 were 51% greater than 2012.
