ASX Announcement

17th June 2021

$10M Placement to Support Growth Strategy

$1M Share Purchase Plan on Placement Terms

Jayride Group Limited (ASX:JAY) (“ Jayride” or the “ Company” ) the world leading global travel marketplace for airport transfers, is pleased to announce that it has undertaken a placement of 47,620,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.21 per share ( “New Shares” ) to institutional and sophisticated investors to raise $10.0 million ( “Placement” ) and is launching a Share Purchase Plan to raise up to $1.0 million ( “SPP” ) on the same terms as the Placement.

Highlights

  • $10.0 million capital raised in placement with strong support from new and existing sophisticated and professional investors

  • SPP to be offered to eligible shareholders at Placement price to raise up to $1.0 million, for $11.0 million total funds

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

Managing Director, Rod Bishop, said “We are delighted with the support for the Placement from both existing and new investors. 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 and retain market share as the global travel recovery continues to accelerate in the Northern Hemisphere.”

Existing shareholders will have the opportunity to subscribe for shares under a Share Purchase Plan on the same terms as the Placement.

Placement

The Placement was only offered to sophisticated and exempt investors as defined by section 708 (8), (10) and (11) of the Corporations Act 2001. It was conducted at an issue price of $0.21 a share, an 18% discount to the 10-day VWAP prior to the Placement.
