ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

GTI acquires Simplicity Loyalty and invests in Marketplacer and Completes $10m Capital Raise

Gratifii completes $10.0 million capital raise to expand APAC loyalty, rewards, engagement capability via the Integration of complementary technologies

Gratifii Limited (ASX: GTI) ('Gratifii' or the 'Company'), an innovative rewards and engagement technology platform, has signed a binding Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) to acquire Simplicity Australasia Limited and Simplicity Technologies Limited (Simplicity) and signed a non-binding Term Sheet to make a strategic investment in Marketplacer Holdings Ltd (Marketplacer) (together, the Transactions). To fund the Transactions, Gratifii has received firm commitments via a two-tranche placement to raise $10.0 million. All amounts are in Australia dollars (A$), unless otherwise stated.

Key Highlights

  • Simplicity, a provider of loyalty and rewards / points services across ANZ, expands Gratifii's market presence in Australia and New Zealand whilst adding a blue-chip enterprise client base (including a leading international QSR franchise chain, Schneider Electric, Dulux and Genesis).
  • Simplicity delivered unaudited FY25 revenue of $4.6m¹ (41% recurring SaaS), and normalised unaudited EBITDA of $0.54m¹.
  • Marketplacer, a global enterprise marketplace platform, expands the accessible product and supplier network that is available to Gratifii's 18+ million member account base.
  • Received firm commitments to raise $10.0m via a two-tranche placement. All four Gratifii Directors will participate in the Offer, subject to shareholder approval.
  • The Transactions form part of Gratifii's clear, staged strategy to accelerate growth, expand its addressable market and fast-track the Company's path to EBITDA profitability.

Iain Dunstan, Gratifii CEO and Managing Director, said:

"These transactions materially transform our capabilities and position Gratifii at the centre of a rapidly growing number of opportunities from new and existing clients. Simplicity plugs in immediately, improving our unit economics and sector coverage from day one."

"The Marketplacer partnership transforms our reward platforms to reward marketplaces, giving our 18+ million members access to real commerce at scale. Our investment into Marketplacer provides added resourcing to accelerate our combined go-to-market offering, whilst enabling us to benefit from the potential value uplift achieved by Marketplacer through our combined partnership."

"With more than 80 enterprise clients and access to over 65% of Australian and New Zealand households, we now have an extraordinarily attractive base to monetise, accelerate growth, and drive long-term shareholder value."

Simplicity – Proposed Acquisition

Overview and Rationale

Founded in 2001, Simplicity is a loyalty and rewards platform with longstanding relationships across Asia-Pacific, and a long standing and blue-chip customer portfolio including a leading international QSR franchise chain, Dulux, Schneider Electric and Genesis.

The business generated FY25 unaudited revenue of $4.6m¹, ~41% of which is high-margin recurring revenue, and normalised unaudited EBITDA of $0.54m¹, before expected synergies. Simplicity strategic supplier partnerships include deep integrations with top-tier product, travel, and experience vendors that complement Gratifii's existing supplier network. Approximately 70% of Simplicity's revenue is generated in Australia and 30% in New Zealand.

The acquisition of Simplicity is highly complementary and immediately provides scale to Gratifii's position in the Retail, QSR, and FMCG sectors, the highest-value segments in the loyalty market. There is little client overlap between the two businesses driving a high degree of confidence in client retention and incremental revenue growth with higher-margin recurring revenue improving the combined group margins. Synergies are expected over the first 12 months through the elimination of duplicated shared services and platform consolidation.

Transaction Structure

Upfront purchase price of ~$3.4m¹, with an earnout of ~$0.34m¹.

The upfront purchase price is earnout; structured as ~$2.1m¹ cash with the balance in Gratifii shares, subject to shareholder approval to be issued at the 30-day VWAP at completion and escrowed for 12 months.

The transaction is subject to several conditions precedent. Further details on the key terms of the Share Purchase Agreement are summarised in Annexure A.

Marketplacer – Operational Partnership and Strategic Investment

Operational Partnership

Marketplacer is a global enterprise marketplace platform providing turnkey onboarding, AI-powered product classification, and fulfilment infrastructure. Its seller supply network spans 1000's of categories and geographies, and its API-first architecture enables seamless integration with existing loyalty, rewards, and engagement platforms.

Marketplacer will be the commerce engine powering Gratifii's growing rewards network, turning rewards and benefits into a customised, product-rich marketplace with commercial-grade depth. The partnership creates a sticky ecosystem: the more categories available, the more redemptions; the more redemptions, the deeper the data; the deeper the data, the stickier the member. New enterprise clients will be able to launch rich reward stores in weeks, not months, leveraging Marketplacer's turnkey catalogue operations, and all without inventory risk.

GTI's strategic investment in Marketplacer aligns long-term partnership incentives and provides the working capital to accelerate the feature deployments and integrations required by GTI. Furthermore, Gratifii is able to benefit from the potential value uplift achieved by Marketplacer through our combined partnership.

Strategic Investment

Gratifii has executed a non-binding term sheet to subscribe for $5.0m of convertible notes in Marketplacer.

The convertible notes earn a 12% interest rate (with interest capitalised to the loan) and converts to Super Senior Preference Shares, the highest equity class, carrying a 2.25x preferred liquidation preference.

The transaction is subject to several conditions precedent including Marketplacer and Gratifii shareholder approval along with execution of convertible note documentation.

It is noted that current beneficial holder, Bombora Special Investment Fund (Bombora) has been a minority investor in Marketplacer Limited since 2019. Bombora's current holding in Marketplacer is less than 1% of the capital structure and is not considered material.

The material terms of the Marketplacer investment are provided in Annexure B.

Outlook

Together, these Transactions position Gratifii at the centre of a rapidly growing loyalty and rewards consolidation opportunity, not just in Australia and New Zealand, but globally.

The Company is well positioned to accelerate its established customer engagement business, leveraging its proprietary loyalty and rewards platform, currently accessed by 18+ million accounts and over 80 enterprise customers across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.

The shared unit economics expected to deliver incremental EBITDA contribution to Gratifii, with discussions well progressed with first tranche of potential customers.

Capital raising

The Company has received firm commitments for a placement of approximately $10.0 million via fully paid ordinary shares at a fixed price of $0.040 per share, a 14.9% discount to the last close price and 23.3% discount to the 15-day VWAP.

Tranche 1: ~$4.2 million via the issue of a total of approximately 106 million fully paid ordinary shares, made up of ~63 million under listing rule 7.1 and ~43 million under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Tranche 2: ~$5.8 million via the issue of approximately 143 million fully paid ordinary shares subject to shareholder approval at a to be convened Extraordinary General Meeting.

Placement Participants in both Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 will receive one option for every two shares subscribed and issued, with an exercise price of $0.10 and a maturity date which is 2 years from the date of issue, subject to shareholder approval.
