The shares of common stock of Zoom Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) were obtained by Socius CG II, Ltd. (“Socius CG”) pursuant to an Order Approving Stipulation for Settlement of Claim issued on November 3, 2011 (“Order”) by the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial District in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, in Case No. 11-36110 CA 31.
 
For purposes of calculating the percentage of the class, the reporting persons have been informed by the Company that there were a total of 20,087,545 shares of common stock outstanding as of the close of business on November 2, 2011, the day immediately preceding the Order. As a result, immediately subsequent to the issuance, the 2,200,000 shares of common stock issued to Socius CG, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Order, represent approximately 9.9% of the total number of shares of common stock on the date of the Order.
 
Socius CG is not a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer. Voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by Socius CG is exercised by Mr. Peizer, the Managing Director of Sabra ICG, LLC (“Sabra”), Socius Capital Group, LLC (“Socius Capital”) and Socius CG, who acts as investment advisor to these entities. However, the Order, by way of reference to the terms of the Stipulation for Settlement of Claim reflecting the agreement between Socius CG and the Company, provides that, for so long as Socius CG or any of its affiliates hold any shares of common stock of the Company, Socius CG and its affiliates are prohibited from, among other actions: (1) voting any shares of the Company’s common stock owned or controlled by Socius CG or its affiliates, or soliciting any proxies or seeking to advise or influence any person with respect to any voting securities of the Company; or (2) engaging or participating in any actions, plans or proposals that relate to or would result in, among other things, (a) acquiring additional securities of the Company, alone or together with any other person, which would result in Socius CG and its affiliates collectively beneficially owning or controlling, or being deemed to beneficially own or control, more than 9.9% of the total outstanding common stock or other voting securities of the Company, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (d) changes in the present board of directors or management of the Company, (e) material changes in the capitalization or dividend policy of the Company, (f) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, (g) changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or similar instruments or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person or entity, (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted, (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Company to become eligible for termination of registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (3) any actions similar to the foregoing. These prohibitions may not be modified or waived without further order of the Court.
 
Sabra, Socius Capital and Mr. Peizer do not directly own any shares of common stock of the Company. The sole stockholder of Socius CG is Socius Capital. Sabra holds all of the membership interests of Socius Capital, and Mr. Peizer holds all of the membership interests of Sabra. As disclosed above, voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by Socius CG is exercised by Mr. Peizer, subject to the limitations of the Order described above. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Sabra, Socius Capital and Mr. Peizer may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of common stock of the Company held directly by Socius CG. Sabra, Socius Capital and Mr. Peizer disclaim beneficial ownership with respect to the shares of common stock of the Company held by Socius CG.
 
 
 

 
 
ITEM 5. OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS.
 
If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following [ ].
 
ITEM 6. OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON.
 
If any other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities, a statement to that effect should be included in response to this item and, if such interest relates to more than five percent of the class, such person should be identified. A listing of the shareholders of an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the beneficiaries of employee benefit plan, pension fund or endowment fund is not required.
