Dear Shareholder,
Notice to Ineligible Shareholders of Renounceable Entitlement Offer
We write to you as the registered holder of fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) in Jayride Group Limited (ACN 155 285 528) (ASX:JAY) (Jayride or the Company) as at 7:00 pm (AEDT) on 27 February 2025 (Record Date).
As announced on 20 December 2024 and subsequently on 24 February 2025, the Company is undertaking a partially underwritten 6 for 1 pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer of new Shares (New Shares) at an issue price of $0.003 per New Share to raise up to approximately $4.3 million (before costs) (Entitlement Offer).
The Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (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 the Entitlement Offer to be made without a prospectus.
An offer booklet in relation to the Entitlement Offer was lodged with the ASX and made available to Eligible Shareholders (as defined below) on 4 March 2025 (Offer Booklet).
Capitalised terms used, but not defined, in this notice have the meaning ascribed to them in the Offer Booklet.
Eligibility criteria
Shareholders who are eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer (Eligible Shareholders) are Shareholders on the Record Date who:
-
are registered as a holder of Shares in the Company;
-
have a registered address in Australia or, subject to the restrictions in section 6.2 of the Offer Booklet, New Zealand or are a Shareholder 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.
Pursuant to section 9A(3)(a) of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a), the Company has determined that it is generally unreasonable on this occasion to extend the Entitlement Offer to shareholders with a registered address outside of the jurisdictions described above (Ineligible Shareholders), having regard to the small number of Ineligible Shareholders, the relatively small number and value of Shares that would be issued to the Ineligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer and the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in each such jurisdiction.
As you do not satisfy the criteria above, you are deemed to be an Ineligible Shareholder for the purposes of the Entitlement Offer. Accordingly, in compliance with section 9A(3) of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(b), the Company wishes to inform you that it is unfortunately unable to extend to you the opportunity to participate in the Entitlement Offer. You will not be sent the documents relating to the Entitlement Offer or be able to subscribe for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.
Nominee
In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(c) and section 615 of the Corporations Act, and 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 Baker Young Limited (ACN 006 690 320) (AFSL 246735) (Nominee) as nominee for Ineligible Shareholders. The Company advises the Ineligible Foreign Shareholders that the Nominee will arrange for the
Jayride Group Limited (ASX: JAY)
ACN: 155 285 528 jayride.com
==> picture [112 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
sale of the rights to subscribe for the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer that would have been given to the Ineligible Shareholders.
The nominee sale procedure will be implemented in accordance with section 615 of the Corporations Act as follows:
-
the Company will issue to the Nominee the Entitlements that Ineligible Shareholders would be entitled to if they were eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer (Excluded Rights);
-
the Nominee will then sell the Excluded Rights at a price and otherwise in a manner determined by the Nominee in its absolute and sole discretion; and
-
the net proceeds of the sale of the Excluded Rights (after deducting the costs of sale including brokerage and commission), if any, will be distributed to the Ineligible Shareholders for whose benefit the Entitlements are sold in proportion to their shareholdings as at the Record Date.
There is no assurance that the Nominee will be able to sell the Excluded Rights at a price that will result in those 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 Entitlements of Ineligible Shareholders or to sell them at a particular price.
You are not required to do anything in response to this notice.
This notice is to inform you about the Entitlement Offer. This notice is not an offer to issue New Shares to you, nor an invitation for you to apply for New Shares.
On behalf of the Board and management of the Company, we regret that you are not eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer but thank you for your continued support.

Details of the Entitlement Offer are contained in the Offer Booklet. The Offer Booklet can be accessed from the ASX and Company websites, www.asx.com.au and www.jayride.com/investors/investorannouncements/announcements/ respectively.

Approximately 1,431,473,706 New Shares will be issued under the Entitlement Offer. New Shares will rank equally with Existing Shares in all respects from the date of quotation.
Top-Up Offer
If you take up your full Entitlement, you may also apply for additional Top-Up Shares in excess of your Entitlement, at the Offer Price ( Top-Up Offer ).

2. Overview of the Entitlement Offer
2.1 Entitlement Offer
Under the Entitlement Offer, the Company is offering Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to apply for 6 New Shares for every 1 Existing Share held on the Record Date, to raise approximately $4.3 million (before costs). The Offer Price per New Share is $0.003.
2.2
Partial Underwriting
The Entitlement Offer is partially underwritten by the Underwriter, being newly appointed NonExecutive Director Brett Partridge, for up to $1,000,000 ( Underwritten Amount ) subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement dated 23 February 2025. The material terms of the Underwriting Agreement are summarised in section 6.8.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and to the extent that any New Shares are not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer, the Underwriter is deemed to subscribe for the Underwritten Amount worth of Top-Up Shares.
2.3
Top-Up Offer
Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlements in full may also apply for additional New Shares in the Top-Up Offer. 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 2.5 below.
An Eligible Shareholder who is a ‘related party’ of the Company (as that term is defined in the Listing Rules), or is otherwise a person to whom Listing Rule 10.11 applies, is not eligible to apply for or be allocated any New Shares under the Top-Up Offer.
2.4 Shortfall Offer
In respect of any New Shares not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer or the Top-Up Offer (including pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement) ( Shortfall Shares ), the Board reserves the right to allocate the Shortfall Shares at its sole discretion, within 3 months after the Closing Date, and otherwise in accordance with the allocation policy described in section 2.5 below ( Shortfall Offer ).
The Shortfall Offer will only be extended to parties identified by the Company.
2.5 Allocation policy
The allocation policy is that each Eligible Shareholder that:
-
(a) takes up their Entitlement in full; and
-
(b) subscribes for additional New Shares under the Top-Up Offer,
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 Offer is oversubscribed.
The applications for New Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (up to the Underwritten Amount) will form part of the applications under the Top-Up Offer and will be allocated in priority to the other applications for Top-Up Shares by Eligible Shareholders under the Top-Up Offer. However, the Company will not allocate Top-Up Shares to the Underwriter or any sub-underwriter in priority to Eligible Shareholders under the Top Up Offer if it would result in the Underwriter or the sub-underwriter (together with their associates) increasing their voting power in the Company above 20%. For the avoidance of doubt, this allocation policy does not restrict the Underwriter or any sub-underwriter from increasing its voting power in the Company above 20% as a result of their underwriting commitments
10
subject to the Company having satisfied the allocation of shortfall to Eligible Shareholders under the Top-Up Offer in accordance with the allocation policy outlined in this Offer Booklet.
Notwithstanding any of the above:
-
(a) there is no guarantee that any application in the Top-Up Offer will be successful and the Company reserves the right to issue any shortfall by way of the Top-Up Offer or by other means and reserves the right to satisfy applications in the Top-Up Offer at its sole and complete discretion, including by applying the pro rata scale-back mechanism;
-
(b) the Top-Up Offer has the same closing date as the Entitlement Offer (being, Tuesday, 18 March 2025);
-
(c) the issue price of additional New Shares under the Top-Up Offer is the same as the Offer Price, $0.003 per additional New Share; and
-
(d) the Company will not issue additional New Shares under the Top-Up Offer where to do so would result in a breach of its Constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.
If, following the allocation of Top-Up Shares (including pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement) there remains Shortfall Shares which have not been allocated, the Shortfall Shares may be allocated by the Company at the Board’s discretion.
In exercising their discretion to allocate the Shortfall Shares (if any), the Directors may have regard to the following (non-exhaustive) factors:
-
(a) the best interests of the Company and the Company’s desire to maximise the amount of funds raised from the Entitlement Offer;
-
(b) the overall level of demand under the Entitlement Offer;
-
(c) ensuring that the potential effects of the Entitlement Offer on control is mitigated by allotting the Shortfall Shares to a spread of investors; and
-
(d) ensuring an appropriate Shareholder base for the Company going forward.
Notwithstanding any of the above, Shortfall Shares will not be issued to any person which would, if issued, result in:
-
(a) the investor increasing their voting power in the Company above 20%; or
-
(b) a contravention of any law or ASX Listing Rule.
2.6 Scale-back
If there are oversubscription applications under the Top-Up Offer, 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 Offer Price will be refunded following allotment. No interest will be paid on any Application Monies received and returned.
2.7 Ranking of New Shares
The New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with Existing Shares. 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.

3. Effect of the Entitlement Offer
3.1 Capital structure
The proposed capital structure of the Company following the issue of the New Shares in connection with the Entitlement Offer will be as follows:
| Event | Shares | Options | Convertible Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance on the date of this Offer Booklet |
238,578,951 | 41,637,152 | 1,985,334 |
| To be issued under the Entitlement Offer1,2 |
1,431,473,706 | - | - |
| To be issued on Conversion of the Convertible Notes (subject to rounding)3 |
661,778,0004 | - | (1,985,334) |
| TOTAL1,2 | 2,331,830,657 | 41,637,152 | - |
Notes:
-
These numbers may vary due to rounding of Entitlements.
-
Assumes that the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed, and that no options or Convertible Notes are converted prior to the Record Date and no other Shares are issued.
-
As set out in the ASX Announcement and subject to the Company completing the Entitlement Offer prior to the maturity of the Underwriter Loan (further details in section 6.8) and raising an amount of not less than $1,000,000 from existing Shareholders, new investors, and/or the Underwriter within 3 months of the opening date of the Entitlement Offer, the Company intends to convert all of the Convertible Notes held by Noteholders ( Conversion ).
The number of Shares to which a Noteholder will be entitled on Conversion of each Convertible Note will be equal to the face value of the Convertible Note, plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid interest, divided by $0.003 (being the same as the Offer Price under the Entitlement Offer) ( Conversion Price ).
- As at the date of this Offer Booklet, the Company is unable to calculate the total number of Shares that may be issued to Noteholders on conversion of any accrued but unpaid interest in accordance with the Conversion referenced above. Accordingly, this figure does not include such Shares (which the Company considers unlikely to be a material number of Shares) and will be issued within the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.2
Use of proceeds
The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Entitlement Offer in accordance with the table below, assuming the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed:
| Proposed use of funds | $ | % |
|---|---|---|
| Repayment of Underwriter Loan1 | 1,000,000 | 23.3 |
| Restructuring costs2 | 500,000 | 11.6 |
| Corporate & working capital3,5 | 2,685,951 | 62.6 |
12
| Proposed use of funds | $ | % |
|---|---|---|
| Costs of the Entitlement Offer4 | 108,470 | 2.5 |

The costs of the Entitlement Offer do not currently include any fees that may be payable to brokers under the Shortfall Offer, although such fees will be payable at the Company’s discretion (which, if paid, will be allocated from the funds assigned to general working capital to the extent required).
-
The Company may be required to allocate an amount of $270,000 from the total funds raised under the Entitlement Offer to PayPal to cover its balance exposure. If required, the Company intends to scale back allocation to working capital accordingly. Any such cash deposit will remain beneficially owned by the Company. Refer to section 5.1(f) for further details regarding this risk.
-
The above table is based on the assumption that the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed. If the Entitlement Offer is not fully subscribed, and depending on the amount raised, the Company intends to scale back allocation to working capital, as well as considering a smaller restructuring event.
The above table is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Offer Booklet. Investors should note that, as with any budget, the allocation of funds set out in the above table may change depending on a number of factors, including market conditions, the development of new opportunities and/or any number of other factors (including the risk factors summarised in section 5). Actual expenditure levels may also differ significantly from the above estimates.

-
Subject to satisfaction of the outstanding conditions and the Company converting all of the Convertible Notes on issue at the Conversion Price, Mr Cuthbert will be entitled to receive approximately 13,333,334 Shares on Conversion of his Convertible Notes (subject to issue of any additional Shares upon confirmation of the amount of any accrued but unpaid interest on these Convertible Notes).
-
Mr Partridge has agreed to sole underwrite the Entitlement Offer up to the Underwritten Amount in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. Refer to section 3.5(b) for further details regarding Mr Partridge’s maximum potential relevant interest and voting power in the Company following completion of the Entitlement Offer.
3.5 Control issues and consequences of the Entitlement Offer
(a) Take-up under the Entitlement Offer
The maximum number of New Shares to be issued under the Entitlement Offer is 1,431,473,706 (subject to rounding) which will constitute approximately 85.71% 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 Record Date).
As a result of the Entitlement Offer, the Company’s existing substantial Shareholders may increase their respective voting power in the Company from below 20% to above 20%.
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 or more than their Entitlement (under the Top-Up Offer).
The proportional interests of Ineligible Shareholders will also be diluted because such Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
14
The following table illustrates each of the substantial Shareholders’ maximum potential relevant interest and voting power in the Company under several scenarios where the Entitlement Offer is 25%, 50%, 75% and fully subscribed by the other Eligible Shareholders and in the unlikely event that no other Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer. These scenarios assume that no New Shares are issued under the Top-Up Offer or Shortfall Offer, and the Underwriting Agreement is terminated (which is considered unlikely).

Notes:
15
- Assumes that no other Shares are issued or Securities converted into Shares prior to the Record Date and does not account for Shares intended to be issued on Conversion of the Convertible Notes as it does not form part of the Entitlement Offer.
For completeness, Thorney Technologies Ltd (and its associated entities) and Rod Bishop hold Convertible Notes and may be issued approximately 133,333,002 and 66,666,667 Shares respectively on Conversion of those Convertible Notes (subject to issue of any additional Shares upon confirmation of the amount of any accrued but unpaid interest on the relevant Convertible Notes).
-
In calculating the potential outcomes in the table immediately above, the Company has included the issue of any New Shares which would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders (had they been Eligible Shareholders), on the assumption that those Entitlements are sold by the Nominee and taken up by the transferees of those Entitlements not associated with the relevant substantial Shareholder. No forecast is made of whether any such Entitlements will be sold, as this inclusion is made for pro forma illustrative purposes only.
-
In calculating the potential separate outcomes for each substantial Shareholder in the table immediately above, when calculating the total percentage of Entitlements assumed to be accepted, the Company has assumed that the relevant substantial Shareholder takes up its Entitlements in full (but no assurance is given of whether that will occur).
-
The shareholdings listed in the table immediately above are based on the information disclosed to the Company by Shareholders in substantial holding notices. Information regarding substantial holdings that arise, change or cease after the date of the substantial holding notices disclosed to the Company, or in respect of which the relevant announcement is not available on the ASX’s website (www.asx.com.au), is not included above.
As illustrated above, the substantial Shareholders 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 (refer to section 3.6 for further information).
In the event where the Entitlement Offer is significantly undersubscribed by Eligible Shareholders, with the result that there is a large number of Top-Up Shares and Shortfall Shares, the Company intends to mitigate the potential effects on control by ensuring that its allocation policy facilitates the allotment of Top-Up Shares and Shortfall Shares to a spread of investors (see section 2.5 for further information). The potential control effects have also been mitigated through the Entitlement Offer being structured as a renounceable offer and partially underwritten by the Underwriter.
(b) Impact of partial underwriting
The number of New Shares that will be required to be allocated to the Underwriter and any sub-underwriters appointed by the Underwriter will depend on how many New Shares are taken up under the Entitlement Offer.
The Underwriter’s maximum potential relevant interest and voting power in the Company under several scenarios are set out in the table below based on the assumptions that:
-
(i) no Shares other than those offered under the Entitlement Offer are issued and no New Shares are issued under the Top-Up Offer or Shortfall Offer (except those Top-Up Shares the subject of the Underwriting Agreement);
-
(ii) the Underwriter does not acquire any Shares other than as described below; and
16
- (iii) the Underwriter satisfies its underwriting obligations by subscribing for New Shares itself, rather than through sub-underwriting commitments with third parties. This outcome is considered unlikely as the Underwriter has or will enter into sub-underwriting agreements with various third parties.
| Eligible Shareholders take up under the Entitlement Offer |
Total Shares held by Underwriter on completion of Entitlement Offer |
Underwriter voting power1 |
|---|---|---|
| 100% take up | Nil | Nil |
| 75% take up | 333,333,334 | 20.26% |
| 50% take up | 333,333,334 | 25.89% |
| 25% take up | 333,333,334 | 35.85% |
| 0% take up | 333,333,334 | 58.28% |
Notes:
-
Assumes that no other Shares are issued or Securities converted into Shares prior to the Record Date and does not account for Shares intended to be issued on Conversion of the Convertible Notes as it does not form part of the Entitlement Offer.
-
In calculating the potential outcomes in the table immediately above, the Company has included the issue of any New Shares which would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders (had they been Eligible Shareholders), on the assumption that those Entitlements are sold by the Nominee and taken up by the transferees of those Entitlements not associated with the Underwriter. No forecast is made of whether any such Entitlements will be sold, as this inclusion is made for pro forma illustrative purposes only.
As illustrated above, the Underwriter may increase its voting power in the Company to a maximum of 58.28% assuming that no Entitlements are taken up under 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 (refer to section 3.6 for further information).
3.6 Section 615 of the Corporations Act and appointment of Nominee
As noted above, the Company’s existing substantial Shareholders and the Underwriter may increase their respective voting power in the Company from a starting point that is below 20% to above 20% as a result of the Entitlement Offer.
To comply with Item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to appoint a nominee in accordance with the requirements of section 615(a) of the Corporations Act. The Company is also required to appoint a nominee for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(c) as the Entitlement Offer is renounceable.
Subject to ASIC approval, the Company proposes to appoint Baker Young Limited (ACN 006 690 320) (AFSL 246735) as 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 Rights ); and
-
(b) the Nominee will sell those Excluded Rights and distribute to each of those Ineligible Shareholders their proportion of the net proceeds of the sale (after expenses).
17
The Nominee will offer to sell the Excluded Rights 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 Rights that is reasonably obtainable on market at the time of the relevant sale bearing in mind:
-
(a) the total number of Excluded Rights;
-
(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 Rights 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.

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.

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 may also be diluted.

The Company will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full up to your Entitlement and in respect of any excess amount, apply for as many Top-Up Shares under the Top-Up Offer as it will pay for in full.
Any Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded as soon as practicable after the close of the Entitlement Offer. No interest will be paid to Applicants on any Application Monies received or refunded.

5. Risk Factors
Activities in the Company and its controlled entities, as in any business, are subject to risks, which may impact on the Company’s future performance. The Company and its controlled entities have implemented appropriate strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks; however, some are outside its control.
The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which investors need to be aware of in evaluating the Company’s business and risks of increasing your investment in the Company. Investors should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in this Offer Booklet.
The principal risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
5.1
Risks specific to the Company
(a) Future capital and funding requirements
The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors, including the pace and magnitude of the development of its business and sales, and the Company may need to raise additional funds from time to time to finance the ongoing development and commercialisation of its products and to meet its other longer-term objectives. Should the Company require additional funding, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Any inability to obtain additional financing, if required, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company may undertake additional offerings of Shares and of securities convertible into Shares in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares the voting power of the Company’s existing Shareholders will be diluted.
(b) Competition Risk
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.
(c) Growth Risk
The Company 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, the Company’s growth and profitability could be impacted. Failure to grow as expected may result in the need for further capital.
(d) Revenue Concentration Risk
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.
(e) Going concern risk
26
The Company’s audited financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 ( Annual Report ) and half yearly financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2024 ( Half Yearly Report ) include notes in the independent auditor’s reports on the financial condition of the Company and existence of a material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Notwithstanding the ‘going concern’ emphasis of matter included in the Annual Report and the Half Yearly Report, the Directors believe that upon successful completion of the Offers, the Company will have sufficient funds to adequately meet the Company’s current commitments and medium-term working capital requirements. In the event that the Offers are not completed successfully, it is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s current activities.
(f)
Payment processor risk
The Company relies on Braintree (a division of PayPal) to take and process credit card payments, which represent a substantial part of its business. PayPal has recently raised certain concerns with the Company about its financial position which may require the Company to undertake further steps to ensure it can continue to use Braintree as a payment processor, such as the Company being required to cover its balance exposure by putting on deposit with PayPal or providing a bank guarantee in an amount of up to $270,000 The Company is engaging with PayPal to resolve their concerns, but there is no guarantee that the Company and PayPal will reach an agreement on the proposed terms or at all. Should the Company lose its ability to use Braintree and/or be required to transition to a new payment processor, this would have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s ability to receipt revenues comprising a significant proportion of its business, and on the Company’s reputation with its existing and future customers, and there is no guarantee that any arrangement with a new payment processor will be on the same or better terms as the Company’s existing arrangement with PayPal.
(g)
Technology Risk
As a travel technology company, the Company relies on the consistent, real-time performance and reliability of its technology systems, including cloud infrastructure and internet connectivity.
The Company 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 the Company’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 the Company 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.
(h) Travel Sector Vulnerability
Demand for the Company’s services and the Company’s financial results are closely tied to the performance of the travel industry. Various external factors beyond the Company’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.
27
(i) COVID-19
A pandemic, including new waves or variants of COVID-19, may prevent the Company, its suppliers, customers, and other business partners from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. Such measures taken in response to a pandemic may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted global economic markets. The long term effects of the outbreak and the global reaction to it, on the performance of the Company remains unknown.
The Directors continue to monitor the situation and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance. In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, the Company will continue to update the market regarding the impact of COVID-19 on its revenue channels and any other material adverse impacts on the Company.
(j) Foreign Exchange Risk
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.
(k) Reputation, trademarks and protection of intellectual property
The Company believes that reputation and brand recognition are important to its business and the effective protection of intellectual property rights is critical to its interest.
The Company depends on its reputation and the reputation of its third-party suppliers, damage to the third party’s reputation will affect the Company's reputation and therefore profitability and operations.
The Company seeks to protect its intellectual property through trade-marks, trade secrets and know-how. Whilst The Company has contractual arrangements in place and trademark applications on foot in order to protect its intellectual property, the Company cannot guarantee that there will not be any unauthorised use or misuse of its intellectual property and brands. Any infringement may be detrimental to the Company's reputation and may lead to costly and time-consuming litigation or adversely affect the Company's financial performance.
If the Company does not adequately protect its intellectual property moving forward or infringes a third party’s intellectual property, it may have to cease using certain intellectual property or be liable for damages to that third party. This may also have an adverse impact on the Company's operations, financial performance and future prospects.
5.2 Risks relevant to the Offers
(a) Underwriting risk
The Company has entered into the Underwriting Agreement under which the Underwriter has agreed to partially underwrite the Entitlement Offer up to an aggregate of $1,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement. If certain conditions are not satisfied or certain events occur, the Underwriter may terminate the Underwriting Agreement. Termination of the Underwriting Agreement may have a material adverse impact on the proceeds raised under the Entitlement Offer. Termination of the Underwriting Agreement could
28
materially adversely affect the Company’s business, cash flow, financial condition and results. See section 6.8 for further details of the Underwriting Agreement.
(b) Underwriter Loan risk
The Underwriter has provided or procured the Underwriter Loan to the Company. See section 6.8 for further details of the Underwriter Loan and the terms of repayment.
There is no guarantee the Company will have sufficient capital available to repay the Underwriter Loan. Accordingly, the Company may be required to seek urgent alternative funding arrangements, whether that be through a debt provider or through an equity raising. The Company cautions investors that there can be no certainty that such alternate funding will be available on acceptable terms, or indeed at all. Failure to obtain such alternate funding would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. Furthermore, failure to repay the funds owing under the Underwriter Loan may have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
(c) Nominee risk
As detailed in section 3.6, the Company has appointed Baker Young to be the Nominee for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.7.1 and section 615 of the Corporations Act to sell Entitlements which would otherwise have been available to Ineligible Shareholders had they been eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer. Baker Young’s ability to act as Nominee is subject to ASIC approval. The Company will apply for ASIC approval and therefore, as at the date of this Offer Booker this has not been received. If ASIC does not approve the appointment of Baker Young as Nominee, the Company would need to either find another person to act as nominee (who must be approved by ASIC), make the Entitlement Offer open to all Shareholders (including Ineligible Shareholders) or withdraw the Entitlement Offer.
5.3 General Risks
(a) Economic Factors
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.
(b)
Financial Information
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 the Company will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward looking statements will provide to be accurate.
(c) Nature of Investment & Share Price Fluctuations’
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 the Company. 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
29
subscription is received to when the New Shares are issued to participants. An investment in the Company 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.
(d)
Stock market conditions
As with all stock market investments, there are risks associated with an investment in the Company. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. Further, the stock market is prone to price and volume fluctuations. There can be no guarantee that trading prices will be sustained. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Shares, regardless of Company's operational performance.
General factors that may affect the market price of Shares include without limitation: economic conditions in Australia and internationally; investor sentiment; local and international share market conditions; changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation; variations in commodity prices; the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances; changes to government regulation, policy or legislation; changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws; changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia; and changes in exchange rates.
Further or prolonged outbreaks of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia and globally may have adverse impacts on Australian and international stock markets, and similarly, may negatively impact Australian and international economic conditions.
(e) Insurance risks
The Company will maintain insurance for its operations where it is considered appropriate for its needs and is available, in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, such insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company affected.
(f) Litigation risks
The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including, but not limited to, intellectual property and patent claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation.
(g) Policies and legislation
Any material adverse changes in government policies or legislation of Australia or any other country that the Company has economic interests (including New Zealand) may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.
(h) Negative publicity may adversely affect the Share price
Any negative publicity or announcement relating to any of the Company's substantial Shareholders, key personnel or activities may adversely affect the stock performance of the Company, whether or not this is justifiable. Examples of such negative publicity or announcements may include involvement in legal or insolvency proceedings, failed attempts in takeovers, joint ventures or other business transactions.
(i)
Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of Securities will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential
30
investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation point of view and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for New Shares under the Offers.
5.4 Speculative investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares.
Therefore, the New Shares to be issued under the Offers carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their suitably qualified professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares.
6. Additional Information

( Eligible Shareholders ).
- (c) By making a payment by BPAY® or by EFT, 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.
Notice to investors in New Zealand
The Entitlements and 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
31
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 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 Excluded Rights; and
-
(ii) the Nominee will sell those Excluded Rights, and distribute to each of those Ineligible Shareholders their proportion of the net proceeds of the sale (after expenses).
-
(e) The Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing, the price at which the Excluded Rights may be sold and the manner of such sale, which is expected to be on-market on the ASX. The net proceeds 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 Rights 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.
-
(f) Neither the Company nor the Nominee will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the Entitlements of Ineligible Shareholders or to sell them at a particular price.
-
(g) To the extent that any Entitlements that would have been offered under the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders (had they been entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer) are not taken up for the issue of New Shares (including pursuant to the Nominee process above) ( Ineligible Shares ), those Ineligible Shares will be Top-Up Shares or Shortfall Shares which are subject to the allocation policy detailed in section 2.5. The price at which those Ineligible Shares would be issued is the same as the Offer Price. Accordingly, there will be no net proceeds from those issues in excess of the Offer Price under the Entitlement Offer and Ineligible Shareholders will not receive any payment or value in connection with those Ineligible Shares.
-
(h) The Nominee will receive a fee of $10,000 (plus GST) for its services as Nominee.
32
6.4 Allotment, trading and quotation
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).
Trading of New Shares will, subject to ASX approval, occur shortly after issue and allotment. It is expected that issue and allotment of the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer will take place on Tuesday, 25 March 2025. Application Monies will be held by the Company on trust for Applicants until the New Shares are issued and allotted. No interest will be paid on Application Monies.
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
In any entitlement offer, investors may believe that they own more Existing 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.
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 New Shares. The price at which these New Shares would be issued, if required, is the same as the Offer Price.
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
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.
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 market 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 (ASX: JAY).
This Offer Booklet is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include information that would be included in a disclosure document or that investors ought to have regard to in deciding whether to subscribe for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
33

Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. No valid Application can be withdrawn once it has been made.

ASX RELEASE 24 FEBRUARY 2025
Jayride to complete corporate restructuring and launch renounceable entitlement offer
Jayride Group Limited (ASX: JAY) (the Company or Jayride), the global online travel marketplace for airport transfers, announces the commencement of a corporate restructuring and financing intended to set a pathway for a new phase of growth.
Key Points:
-
Partially underwritten entitlement offer to be launched, seeking to raise up to $4.3 million at $0.003 per Share with no attaching Options - underwritten to $1 million by a new lead investor
-
Significant change of board and executive leadership with:
-
Brett Partridge to be appointed non-executive director
-
Randy Prado to be appointed Chief Executive Officer
-
Ram Navaratnam to be appointed Director of Finance
-
Patrick Campbell to be appointed Chief Marketing Officer
-
Greg Woszczalski to be Finance Advisor
-
Founder and current non-executive director Rod Bishop retires
-
Executive Chairman, Rod Cuthbert, to return to non-executive chairmanship
-
Revitalised board and management team to lead a significant restructuring event for Jayride, commencing with a significant operational cost reduction programme and review of all technology and manual processing
-
All secured convertible notes are to be converted into equity at $0.003 - being on equivalent terms to the entitlement offer - resulting in a simplified capital structure on completion, with no remaining notes
-
Improving relationships with suppliers remains an important focus for Jayride, with new leadership team set to engage directly with affected suppliers towards normalising relations
Partially Underwritten Entitlement Offer
In December 2024, Jayride announced its intention to launch a pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer to eligible shareholders on the basis of 6 New Shares for every 1 Share held at an offer price of $0.003 per Share to raise approximately A$4.3 million (before costs) (the Entitlement Offer).
Subsequent discussions with potential Underwriter of the Entitlement Offer have resulted in two key changes - both of which Jayride considers to be materially positive to shareholders – that the Entitlement Offer will now be partially underwritten to $1 million and will no longer include an offer of attaching options, reducing the potential future dilutionary impact of those securities.
Jayride will now proceed to launch this Entitlement Offer. Further details on the Entitlement Offer, including its renounceability and the eligible shareholders are set out below.
Jayride Group Limited (ASX: JAY) ACN: 155 285 528 jayride.com

Underwriting Terms
Incoming director Brett Partridge (the Underwriter) has agreed to partially underwrite the Entitlement Offer, committing $1 million (the Underwriting). The Underwriter will be paid a 5% fee and is expected to engage subunderwriters. Further terms of the Underwriting Agreement are annexed to this announcement. The Underwriter has additionally committed to advancing $1 million to Jayride in the coming days (the Loan Advance), which will be unsecured. Cleared funds from the Loan Advance is the sole condition precedent to the leadership refresh noted below.
By having these new investors participate in Jayride via an Entitlement Offer, Jayride is offering existing eligible shareholders the opportunity to participate alongside this new investment on the same terms.
Significant Leadership Refresh
Jayride is pleased to see the Underwriter commit funds to Jayride and propose a number of appointees to the Jayride executive team. In parallel with the Underwriting, the Company will make the following appointments to its board and executive team on cleared Loan Advance funds being received:

2
ASX RELEASE 24 FEBRUARY 2025
==> picture [112 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
his extensive service as a founder and looks forward to him continuing to be a strong supporter of Jayride as a significant shareholder.
Additionally, Rod Cuthbert, Jayride's Executive Chairman, will return to a non-executive chairmanship having held executive office whilst the Company did not have a CEO. Tzipi Avioz, an independent non-executive director, will remain on the board.
As a result of these changes, Jayride will now have a majority independent board of directors and a fresh management team. Each of the three directors brings significant experience from their respective fields.
Through the initial phase of this restructuring, each of the new appointees has committed to not drawing ordinary fees (other than expenses incurred in the ordinary course of their service).
Convertible Notes Conversion
Jayride presently has $1.98 million of outstanding secured convertible notes. Jayride has successfully sought approval from all noteholders for the conversion of their Notes into equity at $0.003 per Share – being on equivalent terms to the Entitlement Offer. The conversion remains conditional on the Loan Advance being received and on the successful completion of the Entitlement Offer, including the raising of at least $1 million (to be met by the Underwriting).
Conversion of the notes will result in the issue of 661,778,000 new Shares. Shareholder approval for this conversion is not expected to be required, given shareholder approval was sought around the time of their issue in 2024, and the conversion price agreed is at a premium to what the Noteholders would have otherwise been entitled to (meaning the agreed conversion terms will be less dilutive than the terms previously approved by shareholders).
Improving Supplier Relationships and Towards Profitability
Jayride notes that it has materially strained relationships with transport suppliers with significantly extended payment terms. With a revitalised management and leadership team in place, Jayride intends to actively engage with all suppliers to whom it has outstanding balances to enter into payment arrangements and ensure that they return to doing business with Jayride.
Notably, demand on the Jayride platform – measured by the number of quote requests received – continues to be strong, suggesting that as Jayride improves its relationships with suppliers and significantly reduces its operating expenses, there may be a way towards profitability on the existing business.
Entitlement Offer Disclosure
Under the Entitlement Offer, shareholders of the Company with a registered address within Australia or New Zealand, and who hold Shares as at 7.00pm (AEDT, Sydney Time) on Thursday, 27 February 2025 (being the Record Date) (Eligible Shareholders) can participate on the basis of 6 New Shares for every 1 Share held at an offer price of $0.003 per Share which will raise up to A$4.3 million (before costs) (the Entitlement Offer). An Offer Booklet will be released in the coming days providing further information.
The offer price represents a discount of:
-
25% to the Company’s last close of $0.004 on the ASX on 17 February 2025; and
-
3.22% to the Company’s 5-day VWAP of $0.0031 up to and including 17 February 2025
The Entitlement Offer is an offer of up to 1,431,473,706 new Shares (the New Shares), subject to rounding. New Shares issued will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.
The Entitlement Offer is renounceable, meaning that Eligible Shareholders can:
- take up their right to subscribe for New Shares (Entitlement) in full or in part;

-
sell their Entitlement (in full or part) on the ASX;
-
sell or transfer all or part of the Entitlement directly to another person; or

do nothing, in which case their Entitlement will lapse and they will not receive any value for their Entitlement.
Eligible shareholders are expected to be able to trade their Entitlements from Wednesday, 26 February 2025 up until close of trade on Tuesday, 11 March 2025.
Eligible Shareholders who take up all of their Entitlements may also apply for New Shares in excess of their Entitlements (Top-Up Shares) to the extent that there is any shortfall under the Entitlement Offer(the Top-Up Offer). The Top Up Offer will be uncapped and the Top-Up Shares will be offered at the offer price of $0.003 each, being the same price of New Shares under the Entitlement Offer. The Top-Up Shares will only be issued to the extent there is sufficient shortfall, and applications will be subject to the allocation policy which will be detailed in the Offer Booklet. Top-Up Shares will not be issued to an applicant if the issue would otherwise contravene the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act). The applications for Shares pursuant to the Underwriting (up to $1 million) will form part of the applications under the Top-Up Offer and will be allocated in priority to the other applications for Top-Up Shares by Eligible Shareholders under the Top-Up Offer.
Any New Shares not taken up by Eligible Shareholders (by taking up their Entitlements, and the Top-Up Offer, and are not taken up by the Underwriter) may be issued by the Company to other parties within three months of the closing date of the Entitlement Offer. Any shortfall placement will be at the Company’s discretion in accordance with the allocation policy which will be further detailed in the forthcoming Offer Booklet.
In compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(c) and section 615 of the Corporations Act, and subject to ASIC approval, the Company has appointed Baker Young Limited (ACN 006 690 320) (AFSL 246735) (Nominee) as nominee for Ineligible Shareholders (being a shareholder of the Company at the Record Date who does not have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand). The Nominee will arrange for the sale of the Entitlements that would have been given to the Ineligible Shareholders.

-
repayment of the Loan Amount (refer to Annexure A for further details);
-
restructuring costs;

costs of the Entitlement Offer; and
-
for corporate and working capital.

These appointments position the Company to take advantage of the significant growth opportunities in the global travel technology sector.
Key Points:

-
With strong investor support and a clear roadmap, Jayride is ready to turn over a new leaf and compete at scale in the global travel tech industry
Commenting on his appointment today, Randy Prado, Chief Executive Officer of Jayride said:
"I am honoured to join Jayride at this pivotal moment. While the challenges ahead are substantial, they are far from insurmountable. The travel technology industry is a multi-billion-dollar sector, with the global market for ride-hailing, mobility-as-a-service (MaaS), and on-demand ridesharing continuing to expand. Jayride’s position as a global airport transfer aggregator places it at the intersection of postpandemic travel resurgence, mobility and payment digitisation, and growing demand for seamless online booking experiences.
“With today’s revitalised leadership team, working alongside those currently within Jayride, we are committed to driving a strategic transformation that will streamline operations, enhance technological capabilities, and foster long-term innovation. We recognise the importance of strengthening relationships with all stakeholders, including our ever-patient creditors, as we embark on a significant restructuring and reset of Jayride in the coming months.

On 24 February 2025, Jayride confirmed its intention to launch a pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer to eligible shareholders on the basis of 6 New Shares for every 1 Share held at an offer price of $0.003 per Share to raise $4.3 million (before costs) (the Entitlement Offer). The Entitlement Offer will open tomorrow, as per the timetable set out in an earlier release.
Significant Leadership Refresh
With the $1 million cash advance against the Entitlement Offer partial underwriting now received (see 24 February 2025 announcement for further information), the Company makes the following appointments effective today. Jayride is now led by a high-calibre team with expertise spanning technology, capital markets, payment processing, and corporate growth strategies.
