Vancouver, BC, August 5, 2009 - Zecotek Photonics Inc. (TSX-V: ZMS; Frankfurt: W1I.F), a developer of leading-edge photonics technologies for medical, industrial and scientific markets, today announced that it proposes to amend the terms of 1,078,150 warrants issued to subscribers of a private placement which closed December 20,  2007. The Company proposes to reprice the exercise price of the subscriber warrants to $0.75 per common share from the initial exercise price of $2.10, and the expiry date of December 20, 2009 will remain the same.  

The amended warrants will contain an acceleration provision, such that, if, for a period of ten consecutive trading days (the "Premium Trading Days"), the closing price of the Company's shares is $1.00 per share or higher, the warrant exercise period will be shortened to a period of 30 days. This 30-day period will commence seven calendar days after the tenth Premium Trading Day.

The proposed amendments are subject to required regulatory approval.
