ASX Announcement

21st October 2020

Jayride Successfully Completes Equity Placement to Support Growth Strategy

Jayride Group Limited (ASX:JAY) (“​ Jayride”​ or the “​ Company”​ ) the world leading online travel marketplace for airport transfers, is pleased to announce that it has completed a placement of 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.15 per share to sophisticated investors to raise ​ $1.5 million​ (​ “Placement”​ ). Shareholders are offered the opportunity to participate in a Share Purchase Plan to raise up to ​ $1.0 million​ (​ “SPP”​ ) at the same price as the Placement.

Highlights

  • $1.5 million capital raised in Placement supported by existing and new institutional and sophisticated investors

  • SPP to be offered to eligible shareholders at Placement price to raise up to $1.0 million, for $2.5 million total funds

  • Strong endorsement of Jayride’s growth strategy with ongoing cyclical recovery, an enhanced competitive position, and the positive structural shift to online bookings for airport transfers

Mr Rod Bishop, Managing Director noted,​ “We are delighted with the support for the Placement from both existing and new investors. The offer was fully subscribed. We are pleased to provide eligible shareholders with the opportunity to participate in the SPP at the same price as the Placement. With the proceeds of this capital raise, Jayride is now well funded to capture market share and benefit from structural tailwinds as the global travel recovery continues.”

All 10,000,000 Placement Shares will be issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity. Settlement of the Placement is scheduled to occur on 28th October 2020 and quotation of the new shares is expected on the following day.

The funds raised will provide working capital for Jayride to execute its growth strategy.

SPP

In order to give all existing shareholders an opportunity to invest at the same price as the Placement, the Company will offer shareholders the right to participate in a Share Purchase Plan. The SPP gives eligible shareholders the opportunity to purchase shares in the Company without brokerage or other related charges.

The record date to participate in the SPP is 20th October 2020. Shareholders who hold JAY shares and are registered on the record date will be able to participate in the SPP.

The Offer price is at the Placement price of $0.15 per Share.

Shareholders can purchase shares totalling up to $30,000. All shareholders can participate, including shareholders that have participated in an SPP in the previous 12 months. The Company is relying on ASIC relief allowing shareholders of a company to participate in a proposed share purchase plan – even if they had participated in an SPP in the last 12 months – which resets the $30,000 limit.

Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing shares.
