SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 22, 2011) - Bitzio, Inc. (OTCBB:BTZO) today announced that it has postponed its acquisition of DigiSpace Solutions, LLC until January 10, 2012. The company had previously reported on August 4, 2011, that the acquisition had been completed; however, because of unfulfilled obligations by the selling party, the parties entered into an amendment to the purchase agreement. Accordingly, the parties agreed to (i) postpone the closing of the acquisition, (ii) change the exercise price on the Options (as defined in the original agreement) from $0.45 to $0.28 per share, and (iii) postpone the issuance of the Options until the closing.

"DigiSpace is still a significant piece of our growth strategy," said Gordon McDougall, CEO of Bitzio. "We have met our obligations to the seller and fully intend to close on the acquisition in January 2012. Unfortunately there were some administrative conditions to the closing that were not satisfied in a timely manner; however we are confident that they will be resolved shortly."

The company filed an updated Current Report on Form 8-K describing the amendment.
