Dear Shareholder,
Non-renounceable Entitlement Offer – Notification to Eligible Shareholders
On 28 September 2023, Jayride Group Limited (ASX:JAY) ( Jayride or the Company ) announced it would undertake a non-renounceable 1 for 6 pro rata entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (the New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.065 per New Share, to raise up to approximately $2.2 million (before costs) through the issue of up to 33.9 million New Shares (the Entitlement Offer ). The Entitlement Offer is being made by way of an offer document pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) as modified by the ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 (the Corporations Act ), meaning that no prospectus or other disclosure document under the Corporations Act is required.
The Company also announced at the same time, a placement of approximately 6.1 million New Shares at an issue price of $0.065 per New Share to raise gross proceeds from the placement of $400k (before costs) to a new institutional investor ( Placement ).
Proceeds from the Entitlement Offer and the Placement will be applied principally towards general working capital and costs of the capital raising.

Details of the Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement Offer is being made available to all eligible shareholders who:
-
were a registered holder of shares in Jayride as at 7.00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 4 October 2023 (being the Record Date );
-
have a registered address in Australia, New Zealand, or are shareholders that the Company has otherwise determined is eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer; and
-
are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer
(an Eligible Shareholder ).
As an Eligible Shareholder, you will be able to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 6 existing Jayride shares held as at the Record Date. The offer price is $0.065 per New Share.
Eligible Shareholders who have subscribed for their Entitlement in full may also apply for additional New Shares pursuant to the Top-Up Facility.
The Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer are non-renounceable which means that Eligible Shareholders will not be able to trade, transfer or sell their Entitlements on ASX or another market.
All of the New Shares issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer and the Top-Up Facility will rank equally with the existing Jayride shares on issue from the date of allotment.
Partial Underwriting and Firm Commitments
I am pleased to note that the Entitlement Offer is partially underwritten by existing shareholders Thorney Technologies Ltd, Tiga Trading Pty. Ltd., Jasforce Pty. Ltd. (together, Thorney ) and Jonathan Beare, and by the Placement participant, SG Hiscock & Company Limited for up to $402,946 in total. Further, Thorney, Jonathan Beare and my fellow director Rod Bishop and I have each committed to taking up our respective entitlements under the Entitlement Offer in full, totaling a further $693,706. Combined this results in ~50% of the Entitlement Offer funds having already been committed as at today.
How to Apply
As an Eligible Shareholder you can access the Offer Booklet and apply for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer online at www.computersharecas.com.au/jayoffer. Eligible Shareholders can:
-
take up all of their Entitlement and if they do so, Eligible Shareholders may also apply for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility;
-
take up part of their Entitlement; or
-
do nothing, in which case your Entitlement will lapse and you will not receive any value for your Entitlement.
I encourage you to read the Offer Booklet carefully, and consult with your qualified stockbroker, solicitor, accountant, or other suitably qualified professional advisor should you need to, before deciding whether to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Dear Shareholder,
Non-renounceable Entitlement Offer – Notification to Ineligible Shareholders
On 28 September 2023, Jayride Group Limited (ASX:JAY) ( Jayride or the Company ) announced it would undertake a non-renounceable 1 for 6 pro rata entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (the New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.065 per New Share, to raise up to approximately $2.2 million (before costs) through the issue of up to 33.9 million New Shares (the Entitlement Offer ). The Entitlement Offer is being made by way of an offer document pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) as modified by the ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 (the Corporations Act ), meaning that no prospectus or other disclosure document under the Corporations Act is required.
The Company also announced at the same time, a placement of approximately 6.1 million New Shares at an issue price of $0.065 per New Share to raise gross proceeds of $400k (before costs) to a new institutional investor. Veritas Securities Limited ( Lead Manager ) has been appointed to act as the lead manager of the Entitlement Offer and placement.
This letter is to inform you about the Entitlement Offer and to explain why you will not be able to subscribe for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer. This letter is not an offer to issue New Shares to you, nor an invitation to you to apply for New Shares.
Eligibility criteria for Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement Offer is being made available to all eligible shareholders who:
-
were a registered holder of shares in Jayride as at 7.00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 4 October 2023 (being the Record Date );
-
have a registered address in Australia, New Zealand, or are shareholders that the Company has otherwise determined is eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer; and
==> picture [167 x 71] intentionally omitted <==
- are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer.
(an Eligible Shareholder ).
All shareholders who do not satisfy the criteria to be Eligible Shareholders, are Ineligible Shareholders .
The Company has determined, pursuant to section 9A(3) of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a), and having regard to a range of factors, that it would be unreasonable on this occasion to make offers to shareholders generally under the Entitlement Offer to all countries outside of Australia and New Zealand. This is due to the legal and regulatory requirements in countries other than Australia or New Zealand and the potential costs to the Company of complying with these requirements, compared with the relatively small number of shareholders in those countries, the relatively small number of Shares they hold and the relatively low value of New Shares for which those shareholders would otherwise be entitled to subscribe.
Unfortunately, according to our records, you do not satisfy the eligibility criteria for an Eligible Shareholder as stated above. Accordingly, in compliance with section 9A(3) of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(b), the Company wishes to advise you that it will not be extending the Entitlement Offer to you and you will not be able to subscribe for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.
Nominee
Subject to ASIC approval, which has been applied for but is yet to be received as at the date of this letter, the Company has appointed the Lead Manager under section 615 of the Corporations Act to act as the sale nominee of the Entitlement Offer ( Nominee ). The Nominee will endeavour to sell the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer that would have been issued to Ineligible Shareholders (the Excluded Shares ) at a price and otherwise in a manner and at such time as it sees fit. The net proceeds above the Offer Price (if any) of the sale will be distributed to Ineligible Shareholders pro rata in proportion to their respective shareholdings as at the Record Date (after deducting costs, including costs of the sale and costs of distributing the proceeds).
There is no assurance that the Nominee will be able to sell the Excluded Shares at a price that will result in the Ineligible Shareholders receiving any net proceeds for their Entitlements such that Ineligible Shareholders may receive no value for their Entitlements. Neither the Company nor the Nominee will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the New Shares that would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders or to sell them at a particular price

Chairman’s letter
9 October 2023
Dear Shareholder
Entitlement Offer
On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to invite you as a valued Shareholder of Jayride Group Limited ( Jayride or the Company ) to participate in a 1 for 6 non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.065 per New Share ( Offer Price ) to raise up to approximately $2.2 million (before costs) ( Entitlement Offer ).
On 28 September 2023, the Company announced its intention to raise approximately $2.6 million through an institutional placement to SG Hiscock & Company Limited (raising approximately $0.4 million) ( Placement ) and the Entitlement Offer (raising approximately $2.2 million) (the Placement and the Entitlement Offer collectively, Capital Raising ).
The Company completed the Placement on 5 October 2023 utilising its available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. As the New Shares under the Placement were issued after the Record Date, SG Hiscock will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer as it was not an Eligible Shareholder on the Record Date (but, as noted below, it has agreed to partially underwrite the Entitlement Offer).
The Entitlement Offer will be made under this offer booklet ( Offer Booklet ). Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to acquire 1 New Share for every 6 existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company held as at 7.00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 4 October 2023. If you take up your Entitlement in full, you may also apply for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility (refer to Section 2.2 of the Offer Booklet for more information).
New Shares issued under the Capital Raising will rank equally with the existing shares on issue.
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, Eligible Shareholders can:
-
take up all of their Entitlement and if they do so, Eligible Shareholders may also apply for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility;
-
take up part of their Entitlement; or
-
do nothing, in which case your Entitlement will lapse and you will not receive any value for your Entitlement.
I encourage you to consider the Entitlement Offer carefully.
Partial underwriting and written commitments
The Entitlement Offer is partially underwritten by existing Shareholders Thorney Technologies Ltd, Tiga Trading Pty. Ltd., Jasforce Pty. Ltd. (together, Thorney ) and Jonathan Beare, and by the Placement participant, SG Hiscock & Company Limited, (all together, the Underwriters ) for up to $402,946 in total ( Underwritten Amount ), being 6,199,179 New Shares ( Underwritten Shares ). Further, Thorney, Jonathan Beare, and Directors Rod Bishop and Rod Cuthbert, have each given written commitments to take up their respective Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, totalling $693,706. Considering both the underwriting and the written commitments received, 50% of the Entitlement Offer funds are already committed as at today.
Veritas Securities Limited ( Veritas ) has been appointed to act as the lead manager of the Capital Raising.
Shortfall
If there is a shortfall (i.e. where New Shares are not applied for under the Entitlement Offer) ( Shortfall Shares ) the Board presently intends to allocate it in the following order of priority:
3477-9234-9735, v. 3
-
(a) first, to Eligible Shareholders unrelated to the Company that have fully subscribed for their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer and subscribe for Shortfall Shares under the Top-Up Facility. If there are insufficient Shortfall Shares to satisfy applications by Eligible Shareholders, such applications will be scaled back on a pro rata basis; and
-
(b) secondly, to the extent there remains any Shortfall Shares after the Entitlement Offer and the Top-up Facility, to the Underwriters (up to the Underwritten Shares), in accordance with the Underwriting Agreements.
If any Shortfall Shares still remain after the above allocations, the Company reserves the right to place those Shortfall Shares to investors of its choosing at or above the Offer Price.
Potential Effect on Control of the Company
As a result of Thorney committing to both take up their full Entitlements and partially underwrite the Entitlement Offer, the Entitlement Offer may result in their voting power in the Company increasing to above 20%. Accordingly, the Company has made arrangements to permit their acquisition of a voting power exceeding 20%, by appointing the Nominee for Ineligible Shareholders under section 615 of the Corporations Act, subject to approval by ASIC.
To the best of the Company’s knowledge, it is not expected that any other Shareholder will increase their relevant interest above 20% as a result of participating in the Entitlement Offer or by underwriting any Shortfall Shares.
I encourage you to read section 3 of this Offer Booklet which contains further information on the effect on control and consequences the Entitlement Offer may have on the Company.
You should carefully read this Offer Booklet in its entirety and consult your stockbroker, accountant or other professional financial adviser before making your investment decision. In particular, you should read and consider section 5.3, which contains a non-exhaustive summary of some of the key risks associated with an investment in the Company. If you are uncertain about taking up your Entitlement you should consult your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other suitably qualified professional financial adviser to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
The Entitlement Offer is scheduled to close at 5.00pm on Monday, 23 October 2023.
If you decide to take this opportunity to increase your investment in the Company please ensure that, before 5.00pm on Monday, 23 October 2023, you have paid your Application Monies, via BPAY® pursuant to the instructions in the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that will accompany this Offer Booklet when it is despatched to you, or if you are outside Australia and unable to pay using BPAY®, your Application Monies are sent by direct transfer and received in cleared funds by the Share Registry by 5.00pm on the Closing Date.
If you do not wish to take up any of your Entitlement, you do not have to take any action.
For further information on the Entitlement Offer you may contact the Offer Information Line on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia), Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.00pm (AEDT) during the Entitlement Offer period.
On behalf of the board of the Company, I am pleased to invite you to consider this investment opportunity and thank you for your ongoing support.
Yours sincerely
Rod Cuthbert Executive Chairman Jayride Group Limited

1. Summary of options available to you
If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you may take one of the following actions:
-
(a) take up all of your Entitlement and if you do so, you may also apply for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility (see sections 2.1 and 2.2 for details);
-
(b) take up part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse; or
-
(c) do nothing, in which case your Entitlement will lapse and you will receive no value for the lapsed Entitlement.
If you are a Shareholder that is not an Eligible Shareholder, you are an ‘ Ineligible Shareholder ’. Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer and should refer to section 6.3 for further information.
| Options available to you |
Key considerations | For further information |
|---|---|---|
| Option One:Take up all of your Entitlement |
You may elect to purchase New Shares at the Offer Price (see_section 4 “How to Apply”_for instructions on how to take up your Entitlement). The Entitlement Offer closes at 5.00pm on Monday, 23 October 2023. The New Shares will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue (including rights to dividends and distributions). If you take up all of your Entitlement, you may also apply for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility (see section 4.5 for instructions on how to apply for additional New Shares). There is no guarantee that you will be allocated any additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility. |
See sections 4.4 and 4.5 |
| Option Two:Take up part of your Entitlement |
If you do not take up your Entitlement in full, those Entitlements not taken up will lapse and you will not receive any payment or value for them. You will not be entitled to apply for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility. If you do not take up your Entitlement in full, your proportionate equity interest in the Company will be diluted as a result of the Entitlement Offer. |
See section 4.6 |
| Option Three:Do nothing, in which case your Entitlement will lapse, and you will receive no value for your lapsed Entitlement. |
If you do not take up your Entitlement, you will not be allocated New Shares and your Entitlements will lapse. Your Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer is non- renounceable, which means your Entitlements are non-transferrable and cannot be sold, traded on ASX or any other exchange, nor can they be privately transferred. If you do not take up your Entitlement your proportionate equity interest in the Company will be diluted as a result of the Entitlement Offer. |
See section 4.7 |
2. Overview of the Entitlement Offer
2.1 The Entitlement Offer
The Company intends to raise up to approximately $2.2 million (before costs) under the Entitlement Offer via an offer of approximately 33,939,634 New Shares at an Offer Price of $0.065 per New Share. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Entitlement Offer in accordance with the use of funds outlined in section 3.2.
New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
2.2
Top-Up Facility
Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlements in full may also apply for additional New Shares in the Top-Up Facility. Please note that New Shares in excess of Entitlements will only be allocated to Eligible Shareholders if and to the extent that the Company determines in its absolute discretion based on the Allocation Policy outlined in section 2.3 below.
Any New Shares in excess of Entitlements will be limited by the Allocation Policy and also to the extent that there are sufficient New Shares from Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlements. Subject to the Allocation Policy below, the Company may apply a prorata scale-back (in its absolute discretion).
2.3 Allocation Policy
The Allocation Policy is that each Eligible Shareholder who:
-
(a) takes up their Entitlement in full; and
-
(b) subscribes for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility,
will be allocated a number of additional New Shares that is the number of additional New Shares subscribed for by that Eligible Shareholder. Allocations may be scaled-back pro rata if the Top-Up Facility is oversubscribed.
In addition, Eligible Shareholders should be aware that:
-
(a) there is no guarantee that any application in the Top-Up Facility will be successful and the Company reserves the right to issue any shortfall by way of the Top-Up Facility or by other means and reserves the right to satisfy applications in the Top-Up Facility at its sole and complete discretion, including by applying the pro rata scale-back mechanism;
-
(b) the Top-Up Facility has the same closing date as the Entitlement Offer (being, Monday, 23 October 2023);
-
(c) the issue price of additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility is the same as the Issue Price, $0.065 per additional New Share; and
-
(d) the Company will not issue additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility where to do so would result in a breach of its constitution, applicable law or the Listing Rules.
To the extent there remains any Shortfall Shares after the Entitlement Offer and the Top-Up Facility, the Underwriters have agreed to subscribe for the Shortfall Shares (up to the number of Underwritten Shares) in accordance with the Underwriting Agreements.
If any Shortfall Shares still remain after the above allocations, the Company reserves the right to place those Shortfall Shares to investors of its choosing at or above the Offer Price.
3477-9234-9735, v. 3
2.4 Scale-back
If there are oversubscription applications under the Top-Up Facility, the Company reserves the right to scale back applications for additional New Shares on a pro rata basis (in its absolute discretion).
In the event of a scale-back, the difference between the Application Monies received, and the number of additional New Shares allocated to you multiplied by the Issue Price will be refunded following allotment. No interest will be paid on any Application Monies received and returned.
2.5 Underwriting
The Entitlement Offer is partially underwritten by the Underwriters up to the value of $402,946, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreements. Accordingly, to the extent there remains any shortfall of New Shares not taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer and Top-Up Facility ( Shortfall Shares ), they will be subscribed for by the Underwriters, up to 6,199,179 New Shares. If the remaining number of the Shortfall Shares is less than total number of Underwritten Shares, the Company, in its discretion, will determine how the Shortfall Shares are allocated between the Underwriters. Please refer to Section 6.8 for further details.
2.6 Ranking of New Shares
The New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with existing Shares on issue. The rights attaching to the New Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution and are regulated by the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and general law.
3477-9234-9735, v. 3

-
Assumes 209,791,650 Shares on issue as at the date of this Offer Booklet.
-
Comprising Thorney Technologies Ltd, Tiga Trading Pty. Ltd. and Jasforce Pty. Ltd.
As at the date of this Offer Booklet:
-
(a) the Company has received written commitments from Thorney, Jonathan Beare, and Rod Bishop that they will take up their full Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer;
-
(b) Thorney have further agreed to underwrite up to $78,195.52 (1,203,008 New Shares); and
-
(c) Jonathan Beare has further agreed to underwrite up to $24,751.09 (380,786 New Shares).
3477-9234-9735, v. 3
Depending on the level of acceptance of Entitlements by other Eligible Shareholders it is possible that Thorney’s voting power in the Company may increase above 20%, however no other substantial Shareholder’s or Underwriter’s voting power in the Company is expected to increase beyond 20%.
3.5 Control issues and consequences of the Entitlement Offer
The maximum number of New Shares to be issued under the Entitlement Offer is 33,939,634 (subject to rounding) which will constitute approximately 13.92% of the Shares on issue following completion of the Entitlement Offer (assuming the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed and no other Shares are issued or convertible securities exercised or converted prior to the Closing Date).
Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlement in full may be diluted relative to those Eligible Shareholders who apply for some or all of their Entitlement. The extent of dilution will depend on the extent to which Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlement.
The proportional interests of Ineligible Shareholders will also be diluted because such Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
The following table illustrates Thorney’s maximum potential relevant interest and voting power in the Company under several scenarios where the Entitlement Offer is:
-
(a) fully subscribed by other Eligible Shareholders;
-
(b) 75% subscribed by other Eligible Shareholders;
-
(c) 50% subscribed by other Eligible Shareholders; and
-
(d) in the unlikely event that no other Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.
| Participation by other Eligible Shareholders |
Voting power of Thorney |
|---|---|
| 100% | 19.06% |
| 75% | 20.25% |
| 50% | 21.01% |
| 0% | 22.53% |
This ignores the fact that there are other Underwriters for part of any Shortfall Shares, and that certain other Shareholders have provided written commitments to take up their full Entitlements, making a scenario where no Eligible Shareholders other than Thorney participate in the Entitlement Offer highly unlikely.
As illustrated above, Thorney may increase their respective voting power in the Company to a point that is above 20% as a result of the Entitlement Offer. This increase will fall within the exception pursuant to Item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act subject to approval by ASIC of the appointment of the Nominee under section 615 of the Corporations Act.
In the event where the Entitlement Offer is significantly undersubscribed by Eligible Shareholders, with the result that there is a large number of Shortfall Shares, the Company intends to mitigate the potential effects on control by ensuring that its allocation policy facilitates the allotment of Shortfall Shares to a spread of investors, if there are remaining Shortfall Shares after they have been allocated to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements (see section 2.3 for further information).
3477-9234-9735, v. 3
3.6 Section 615 of the Corporations Act and appointment of Nominee
Subject to certain exceptions set out in section 611 of the Corporations Act, section 606 of the Corporations Act prohibits a person acquiring a relevant interest in voting shares or interests through a transaction in relation to securities that increases that person’s, or someone else’s, voting power in a regulated entity from 20% or below to more than 20% or from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.
As noted above, depending on the level of take up of Entitlements by Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer, Thorney may increase their respective voting power in the Company from a starting point that is below 20% to more than 20% as a result of the Entitlement Offer and its partial underwriting of the Entitlement Offer. Thorney may need to rely on item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act to fall within an exception to the prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act. As Ineligible Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer, to comply with Item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to appoint a nominee to sell the New Shares that might otherwise have been issued to Ineligible Shareholders, in accordance with the requirements of section 615(a) of the Corporations Act.
Subject to ASIC approval, the Company has appointed Veritas Securities Limited as its nominee for the purposes of section 615 of the Corporations Act ( Nominee ). In accordance with section 615(b)-(c) of the Corporations Act and consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 6: Takeovers: Exceptions to the general prohibition :
-
(a) the Company will issue to the Nominee the Entitlements that would otherwise be issued to the Ineligible Shareholders ( Excluded Shares ); and
-
(b) the Nominee will sell those Excluded Shares and distribute to each of those Ineligible Shareholders their proportion of the net proceeds of the sale (net of the Offer Price and other costs).
The Nominee will offer to sell the Excluded Shares in such manner and at such time as it sees fit, provided it must do so with the objective of achieving the best price for the Excluded Shares that is reasonably obtainable on market at the time of the relevant sale bearing in mind:
-
(a) the total number of Excluded Shares;
-
(b) prevailing market conditions at the time of the relevant sale (including the prevailing price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX);
-
(c) the period over which the sale process is completed; and
-
(d) the desire to achieve a liquid and orderly market in the Company’s securities.
There is no assurance that the Nominee will be able to sell the Excluded Shares at a price that will result in the Ineligible Shareholders receiving any net proceeds for their Entitlements such that Ineligible Shareholders may receive no value for their Entitlements.
For further details regarding the treatment of Ineligible Shareholders, refer to section 6.3.
For performing this role, the Nominee will not receive any fees from the Company beyond the fees already payable under the Lead Manager Mandate (refer to section 6.9 for further details).
3477-9234-9735, v. 3
4. How to apply
4.1 Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement Offer constitutes an offer to Eligible Shareholders to apply for 1 New Share for every 6 Shares held on the Record Date. Please refer to sections 6.1 and 6.2 regarding your eligibility to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
The Entitlement Offer opens on Monday, 9 October 2023 and the Offer Booklet will be made available by that date, along with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, to Eligible Shareholders. The Entitlement Offer is expected to close at 5.00pm on Monday, 23 October 2023.
The Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act (as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC Corporations (Disregarding Technical Relief) Instrument 2016/73) which allows rights issues to be offered without a prospectus, provided certain conditions are satisfied.
As a result, the Entitlement Offer is not being made under a prospectus and it is important for Eligible Shareholders to read and understand the information on the Company and the Entitlement Offer made publicly available by the Company, prior to taking up all or part of their Entitlement. In particular, please refer to the information set out in section 5, the Company’s interim and annual reports, other announcements made available at www.asx.com.au and all other parts of this Offer Booklet carefully before making any decisions in relation to your Entitlement.
Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in the Company, including taking up your Entitlement, involves risks. The key risks identified by the Company are summarised in section 5.3. These are not an exhaustive list of the risks associated with an investment in the Company.
4.2 Your Entitlement
An Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out your Entitlement (calculated as 1 New Share for every 6 Shares held on the Record Date with fractional Entitlements rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares) will accompany this Offer Booklet when it is made available to Eligible Shareholders. If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have a separate Entitlement for each separate holding. A copy of the Offer Booklet and your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form can be accessed at www.computersharecas.com.au/jayoffer.
4.3
Options available to you
The number of New Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled is shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form that will accompany this Offer Booklet when it is despatched to you. Eligible Shareholders may:
-
(a) take up their Entitlement in full and, if they do so, they may apply for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility (refer to section 4.5 for further information);
-
(b) take up part of their Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse;
-
(c) do nothing and allow their Entitlement to lapse (refer to section 4.6 for further information).
The Entitlement Offer is an offer to Eligible Shareholders only. Ineligible Shareholders may not take up any of their Entitlements. Ineligible Shareholders should refer to section 6.3.
The Company reserves the right to reject any Entitlement and Acceptance Form that is not correctly completed or that is received after the Closing Date.
3477-9234-9735, v. 3
The expected Closing Date for acceptance of the Entitlement Offer is 5.00pm on Monday, 23 October 2023 .
4.4 Eligible Shareholders wishing to accept their Entitlement in full
If you wish to take up all of your Entitlement, you are required to make payment via BPAY® if you are an Australian resident, or if you are a resident in New Zealand or otherwise outside Australia and are unable to pay via BPAY®, by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
Payment is due by no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on the Closing Date. Note that when paying by BPAY® or EFT you are not required to submit the personalised Application Form but are taken to make the statements on that form.
4.5 Eligible Shareholders wishing to participate in the Top-Up Facility
If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you wish to apply for New Shares in excess of your Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer by applying for additional New Shares under the TopUp Facility, you are required to apply for more New Shares than the number shown in your personalised Application Form. To do this, make a payment for more than your Entitlement via BPAY® or EFT. The excess will be taken to be an application for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility.
Any additional New Shares applied for pursuant to the Top-Up Facility will be issued in accordance with the allocation policy described in Section 2.3.
Payment is due by no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on the Closing Date. Note that when paying by BPAY® or EFT you are not required to submit the personalised Application Form but are taken to make the statements on that form.
4.6 Consequences of not accepting all or part of your Entitlement
If you decide not to take up all or part of your Entitlement, the Entitlement which is unexercised will lapse and may be taken up by the Underwriter or by Eligible Shareholders under the Top-Up Facility. Your Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer is nonrenounceable and cannot be traded on the ASX nor any other financial markets, nor can it be privately transferred.
By allowing your Entitlement to lapse, you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares had you taken up your Entitlement and you will not receive any payment or value for all or that part of your Entitlement. Your interest in the Company will also be diluted.
4.7 Allowing your Entitlement to lapse

5. Jayride Operations and Key Risks
5.1
Jayride Operations
Jayride is the world’s leading publicly listed airport transfers marketplace, where travellers compare and book rides around the world. With Jayride, travellers can compare and book with 3,700+ ride service companies, servicing 1,600+ airports in 110+ countries around the world which cover 95% of world airport trips, including across the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
The Jayride platform aggregates ride service companies and distributes them to travellers at Jayride.com, AirportShuttles.com, and via travel brand partners including other technology platforms, online travel agencies, travel management companies, and wholesalers. These travel brands implement Jayride APIs to sell door-to-door ride services that build traveller confidence and grow their core travel business.
Jayride’s opportunity is to become the world leader in rides for travellers, with door-to-door rides to suit every traveller’s needs in every country, from anywhere to anywhere.
Jayride earns the majority of its revenue from passenger trips booked, where the Company connects travellers with the transport company and earns a commission on sale. Travellers visit Jayride.com or a Jayride travel brand partner to book passenger trips. Jayride receives the Total Transaction Value (‘TTV’) for Passenger Trips Booked and holds the funds on behalf of the traveller until after travel, at which point Jayride remits payment to the transport company, retaining its commission. This commission, net of refunds, is the Company’s Net Revenue, which forms the majority of the Company’s revenue.

5.3 Key Risks
The Company sets out below certain areas in which the Directors regard as the main risks (but not all risks) associated with an investment in the Company.
General risks are predominantly risks associated with investments of a similar nature to the Company including the nature of speculative investments, economic factors, and capital market conditions. Specific risks are risks which are specific to the Company’s operation. The summary of key risks provided below is not intended to be exhaustive, and the Company strongly recommends shareholders review its historical ASX announcements and periodic financial reporting in making any decision as to the Entitlement Offer.
| Risk | Description |
|---|---|
| Competition Risk (General and Specific) |
The Company competes in an online global marketplace in a sector (travel technology) that continually undergoes rapid expansion and development. Although the Company looks to continually improve its platform and offering it may be possible for competitors to develop new offerings or advance their technology further than our own which could affect future financial performance or place the Company in a position where it is no longer able to effectively compete in certain markets. |
| Economic Factors (General) |
The performance of the Company is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions including fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policies, levels of consumer confidence and spending, business confidence and investment, access to debt and capital markets and other factors. As the Company is not yet in a cash flow positive position and reliant on raising capital, prolonged negative economic conditions may make raising capital more difficult and costlier for the Company. Further prolonged periods of negative economic conditions may also impact the Company’s operations having regard to the potential reduction in demand for the Company’s services. |
3477-9234-9735, v. 3
| Risk | Description |
|---|---|
| Financial Information (General) |
Any forward looking statements, management opinions, estimates, or targets set out in this Offer Booklet or in the Company’s ASX announcements are based on various assumptions which are subject to various factors and risks, both known and unknown, which could prevent or inhibit the Company’s actual performance from meeting those estimates. There can be no guarantee that Jayride will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward looking statements will provide to be accurate. |
| Foreign Exchange Risk (General and Specific) |
As a global operation, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as it holds reserves of multiple currencies in its daily operations. A material shift in the Australian Dollar may have a material impact on the Company’s operations and its financial position. The Company does routinely explore opportunities to mitigate or hedge this risk. |
| Future Capital Requirements (General & Specific) |
Additional funding may be required by the Company to advance its objectives or for further working capital. There is a risk that despite the Company’s best efforts, the Company will not achieve its internal targets which could result in failing to achieve targeted growth and profitability. There can be no assurance that in such event there would be funding available to the Company – whether on desirable terms or otherwise. Any inability to secure funding in the future may adversely affect the financial condition of the Company. |
| Growth Risk (Specific) |
Jayride is investing in expanding its market share, including through the launch of key business improvement initiatives. Should these investments not yield the anticipated results or incur delays or extra costs, Jayride’s growth and profitability could be impacted. Failure to grow as expected may result in the need for further capital. |
| Nature of Investment & Share Price Fluctuations (General) |
Given the size of the Company and the limited liquidity of its securities on ASX, the market price of the Company’s securities may fluctuate due to various factors, many of which may be non-specific to Jayride. There can be no guarantee with respect to any return on New Shares subscribed for under the Entitlement Offer. Additionally, the share price may change from the time an Entitlement Offer subscription is received to when the New Shares are issued to participants. An investment in Jayride should be considered speculative in nature. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or on any return on investment in the Company. |
| Revenue Concentration Risk (Specific) |
In the last financial year, over 40% of the Company’s revenue was derived from five travel partners which introduces risk that any change in the relationship with those travel partners may materially affect revenue and future financial performance. |
| Talent Management (Specific) |
Jayride’s growth prospects are based on the skill and commitment of our team, who are vital for achieving our revenue, profitability, and cash flow goals. If not managed properly, the Company’s reputation and financial performance may be materially affected. There is no guarantee the Company can retain the services of its senior executive team and other persons who play key roles in the success of the Company. |
3477-9234-9735, v. 3
| Risk | Description |
|---|---|
| Technology Risk (Specific) |
As a travel technology company, Jayride relies on the consistent, real-time performance and reliability of its technology systems, including cloud infrastructure and internet connectivity. Jayride relies on the performance and availability of its own software and also third party software and their connectivity. The ongoing performance of this software, including but not limited to cloud infrastructure and payment processing, is key to Jayride’s service delivery and therefore its ability to generate revenue. Any failure, unscheduled down-time or cyber-attack of either the software or the technology that underpins our service could result in Jayride being unable to meet contractual and service level obligations, unauthorised system use, data integrity issues or data loss, integration issues with other systems and third parties and increased costs. |
| Travel Sector Vulnerability (General & Specific) |
Demand for Jayride's services and Jayride’s financial results are closely tied to the performance of the travel industry. Various external factors beyond Jayride's control can adversely affect the travel industry. These include, but are not limited to, severe weather conditions, natural calamities, health crises like pandemics, geopolitical conflicts, industrial action, and economic fluctuations. |
5.4 ASX Announcements
Shareholders should have reference to the Company’s recent ASX announcements, copies of which are available on its website (jayride.com/investors) and on asx.com.au, including the Company’s most recent full year results release and other documentation.
There may be additional ASX announcements made by the Company between the date of release of this Offer Booklet and throughout the Entitlement Offer period which may update the information set out in this section. The Company is not responsible for updating the above information, therefore it is prudent that you review ASX announcements made by the Company prior to making any decisions as to your Entitlements.

6. Additional Information
6.1 Eligibility of Shareholders
-
(a) The Entitlement Offer is being offered to all Eligible Shareholders only.
-
(b) Eligible Shareholders are Shareholders on the Record Date who:
-
(i) are registered as holders of Shares;
-
(ii) have a registered address in Australia or, subject to the restrictions in section 6.2, New Zealand or are a Shareholder that the Company has otherwise determined is eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer; and
-
(iii) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer.
-
(c) By making a payment by BPAY® or, if you are based in New Zealand (or such other eligible jurisdiction determined by the Company), by direct transfer, you will be taken to have represented and warranted that you satisfy each of the criteria listed above to be an Eligible Shareholder. Nominees, trustees or custodians are therefore advised to seek independent professional advice as to how to proceed.
6.2 Overseas Shareholders
This Offer Booklet does not constitute an offer of Entitlements or New Shares in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this Offer Booklet may not be distributed to any person, and such securities may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.
(a) Notice to investors in New Zealand
The New Shares are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of New Shares is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2021.
This Offer Booklet has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. This Offer Booklet is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.
6.3 Ineligible Shareholders
-
(a) All Shareholders who do not satisfy the criteria to be Eligible Shareholders, are Ineligible Shareholders. Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer, unless the Company otherwise determines.
-
(b) The restrictions upon eligibility to participate in the Entitlement Offer arise because the Company has determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3)(a) of the Corporations Act, that it would be unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders. This decision has been made after taking into account the number of non-residents in Australia and New Zealand on the Company’s share register, the relatively small number and value of New Shares to which those Shareholders would otherwise be entitled and the potential costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions in which the Ineligible Shareholders are located in relation to the Entitlement Offer.
-
(c) The Company, in its absolute discretion, may extend the Entitlement Offer to any Shareholder if it is satisfied that the Entitlement Offer may be made to the
3477-9234-9735, v. 3
Shareholder in compliance with all applicable laws. The Company, in its absolute discretion, reserves the right to determine whether a Shareholder is an Eligible Shareholder or an Ineligible Shareholder. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all liability in respect of such determination.
-
(d) In accordance with section 615(b)-(c) of the Corporations Act and consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 6: Takeovers: Exceptions to the general prohibition :
-
(i) the Company will issue to the Nominee the Entitlements that would otherwise be issued to the Ineligible Shareholders ( Excluded Shares ); and
-
(ii) the Nominee will sell those Excluded Shares, and distribute to each of those Ineligible Shareholders their proportion of the net proceeds of the sale (net of the Offer Price and other costs).
-
(e) The Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing, the price at which the New Shares may be sold and the manner of such sale, which is expected to be on-market on the ASX. The net proceeds above the Offer Price (if any) of the sale will be distributed to Ineligible Shareholders pro rata in proportion to their respective shareholdings as at the Record Date (after deducting costs, including costs of the sale and costs of distributing the proceeds). There is no assurance that the Nominee will be able to sell the New Shares issued pursuant to the Ineligible Shareholders’ Entitlements at a price that will result in those shareholders receiving any net proceeds for their Entitlements such that Ineligible Shareholders may receive no value for their Entitlements.
-
(f) Neither the Company nor the Nominee will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the New Shares that would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders or to sell them at a particular price.
6.4 Allotment, trading and quotation
-
(a) The Company will apply for quotation of the New Shares on ASX in accordance with Listing Rule requirements. If ASX does not grant quotation of the New Shares, the Company will repay all Application Monies (without interest).
-
(b) Trading of New Shares will, subject to ASX approval, occur shortly after allotment. It is expected that allotment of the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer will take place on Monday, 30 October 2023. Application Monies will be held by the Company on trust for Applicants until the New Shares are allotted. No interest will be paid on Application Monies.
-
(c) Subject to approval being granted, it is expected that the New Shares allotted under the Entitlement Offer will commence trading on a normal basis on Tuesday, 31 October 2023.
-
(d) It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine the number of New Shares allotted and issued to them prior to trading in the New Shares. The sale by an Applicant of New Shares prior to receiving their holding statement is at the Applicant’s own risk. The Company disclaims all liability whether in negligence or otherwise (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before receiving their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by the Company or the Share Registry or otherwise.
6.5 Reconciliation
-
(a) In any entitlement offer, investors may believe that they own more Shares on the Record Date than they ultimately do. This may result in a need for reconciliation to ensure all Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement.
-
(b) The Company may need to issue a small quantity of additional New Shares to ensure all Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their appropriate allocation of
3477-9234-9735, v. 3
New Shares. The price at which these New Shares would be issued, if required, is the same as the Offer Price.
- (c) The Company also reserves the right to reduce the Entitlement or the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their Entitlement claims prove to be overstated, if they or their nominees/custodians fail to provide information requested to substantiate their Entitlement claims, or if they are not Eligible Shareholders.
6.6 Continuous disclosure
-
(a) The Company is a “disclosing entity” under the Corporations Act and is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, including the preparation of annual reports and half yearly reports.
-
(b) The Company is required to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the stock markets conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of Shares. That information is available to the public from ASX and can be accessed at www.asx.com.au. Some documents are required to be lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company. These documents may be obtained from, or inspected at, an ASIC office.
6.7 No cooling off rights
Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot withdraw your Application once it has been made.

The Company has entered into an underwriting agreement with each of the Underwriters dated on or about 28 September 2023 ( Underwriting Agreements ) pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to partially underwrite the Entitlement Offer, up to a total of $402,946.

3477-9234-9735, v. 3
