EXHIBIT NO.		DESCRIPTION
		99.1	Press Release dated March 29, 2009

On April 9, 2009, Zi Corporation (“Zi”) was acquired by Nuance Communications, Inc. (“Nuance”) pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement dated February 26, 2009, by and among Nuance, Nuance Acquisition ULC, an Alberta unlimited liability corporation and an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Nuance (“Sub”), and Zi, by which Zi became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sub (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition occurred by way of a statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to Section 193 of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta).

In connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, Zi requested that NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an application on Form 25 to (1) remove Zi common shares from listing on NASDAQ and (2) withdraw the registration of the common shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In connection with the completion of the Acquisition, trading of the common shares on NASDAQ and the Toronto Stock Exchange ceased at the close of the markets on April 9, 2009.

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

In connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, each Zi common share outstanding prior to the Acquisition has been converted into the right to receive $0.34 in cash and approximately 0.037 shares of Nuance common stock. Following the Acquisition, Nuance beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding common shares of Zi.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On April 9, 2009, Nuance and Zi issued a press release announcing the completion of the Acquisition. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01. Exhibits.
