Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders of Jayride Group Limited (ASX: JAY) (Jayride or the Company) with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company.
The Directors recommend that shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
If you have any queries regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice please contact Jayride or seek advice from your professional advisors.
February 2024 Convertible Note Raising
On 5 February 2024 the Company announced it had secured commitments to raise A$1.5 million through the issuance of Convertible Notes. The funds raised from the Convertible Notes issuance is being applied towards strengthening the Company’s balance sheet and supporting business operations. All resolutions being put to this Extraordinary General Meeting are related to the Convertible Note raising conducted by the Company in February 2024.
The Convertible Notes are being dealt with in multiple tranches reflecting available placement capacity at the time of Tranche 1 Convertible Notes issuance and shareholder approval being specifically and separately required for participation by directors in the Convertible Notes raising.
Generally, in respect of the Convertible Notes, Shareholder approval is in effect being sought for both the issue of the Convertible Notes as well as the issue of Shares on the conversion of the Convertible Notes in the event the respective Noteholders elect to convert their Convertible Note.
The Convertible Notes issuance also included an issue of attaching Options which were to be issued to Noteholders subject to shareholder approval being obtained at this Meeting. Each Option is proposed to be exercisable at $0.05 per Share, expiring 31 December 2027. Additionally, subject to shareholder approval for their issue and meeting any ASX requirements, the Company is required to seek quotation of these Options.
In total, 30,000,000 Options are proposed to be issued to the Noteholders (including Messrs Cuthbert and Bishop, subject to separate shareholder approval) and 4,000,000 Options are proposed to be issued to the Lead Manager to the Convertible Note raising. If any of the Resolutions which relate to the issue of Options are passed by Shareholders, the Company may issue a Prospectus pursuant to which these Options will be offered and issued in order to enable their later quotation on ASX (subject to otherwise meeting any quotation conditions set by ASX).
Set out below is a summary of the securities to be issued pursuant to the Convertible Note Raising, for which certain approvals are being sought at this Meeting:
| Convertible Notes | Options | Funds Raised | Resolutions | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche 1 | 699,983 | 10,500,000 | $525,000 | 1 and 5 |
| Tranche 2 (excl Directors) |
1,060,023 | 15,900,000 | $795,000 | 2 and 6 |
| Rod Cuthbert | 39,999 | 600,000 | $30,000 | 3 and 8 |

- | 4,000,000 | - | 7 |
| Total | 2,000,000 | 30,000,000 | $1,500,000 |
Resolutions 2 and 6, 3 and 8, and 4 and 9 are each interconditional on the other such that if, for example, either of Resolutions 2 and 6 were to not have been passed at this Meeting, both Resolutions will be considered to have failed and the Company will not proceed with the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes issuance. This is to ensure that, except in the case of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes which have already been issued, no attaching Options will be issued in circumstances where the corresponding Convertible Notes have not been approved or vice-versa.
Generally, the Directors (except Mr Cuthbert in relation to Resolutions 3 and 8 and except Mr Bishop in relation to Resolutions 4 and 9) recommend shareholders vote in favour of each of the Resolutions being put to this meeting in order to complete the Company’s obligations in respect of the Convertible Note raising and securing financing for the Company’s operations.
Convertible Note Issuance
Resolution 1: Ratification of Tranche 1 Convertible Note Issuance
As noted above, on 19 February 2024 the Company issued the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules, which includes options and convertible securities) that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of those securities.

Jayride Group Limited ACN 155 285 528
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of those securities.
The Company provides the following information with respect to Resolution 1 pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
| Number and class of securities issued |
699,983 Convertible Notes |
|---|---|
| Name of recipients or basis on which persons were identified |
Convertible Notes issued to sophisticated and wholesale investors identified by the Lead Manager to the Convertible Note Raising, GBA Capital Pty Ltd. In determining allocations, the Lead Manager preferenced allocations to existing shareholders but otherwise conducted a book- building process customary for capital raisings of this nature. The Tranche 1 investors do not include any related parties or key management personnel of Jayride. |
| Date securities were issued | 19 February 2024 |
| Price (or other consideration) | $525,000 in aggregate |
| Purpose of the issue | Capital raising to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and support general business operations. |
| Other material terms of agreement |
The Company has provided a summary of the terms of the Convertible Notes at Annexure A. |
| Voting Exclusion Statement | A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 1 |
Resolution 2: Approval to issue Tranche 2 Convertible Notes
Resolution 2 seeks approval for the issue of the 1,300,017 Convertible Notes in the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes issuance. In the event that Shareholders do not approve Resolution 2 or Resolution 6, the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes will not be issued, and the Company will not raise the additional $0.795 million that is to be raised from the issue of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes. In the event that Shareholders do approve both Resolutions 2 and 6, the Company will issue the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes and the corresponding Options and will have raised an additional $0.795 million.
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out above in relation to Resolution 1.
The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Corporations Act: Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party (including directors of the Company), the company must obtain approval of members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and give the benefit within 15 months following such approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Convertible Notes and Options to Messrs Cuthbert and Bishop constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to Messrs Cuthbert and Bishop who are related parties of the Company by reason of their directorship.
The directors (other than Messrs Cuthbert and Messrs Bishop in respect of their own Convertible Notes) consider that the Convertible Notes are on arm’s length terms and thus rely on section 210 of the Corporations Act to not seek shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. In this regard, of particular note is that there are no differences between the Convertible Notes being issued to unrelated investors compared to Messrs Cuthbert and Bishop.
Listing Rules:
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The proposed issues of Convertible Notes fall within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 and do not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. They therefore require the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
The Company accordingly seeks shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for Resolutions 3 and 4. Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14, where approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is obtained approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of securities will not be included in the company’s 15% limit.
Given that the Convertible Notes are secured against all assets of the Company, ASX would ordinarily also require shareholder approval to be sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 for the granting of that security interest to Messrs Cuthbert and Bishop. However, the Company has successfully sought a waiver from ASX from the application of ASX Listing Rule 10.1 in relation to these Convertible Notes. A summary of the terms of that Waiver was released by the Company on 19 February 2024.
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Convertible Notes to these related parties.
If Resolution 3 and/or 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Convertible Notes to the relevant related party.

Options Issuance
Resolutions 5 and 6: Approval for the issuance of Options to Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Noteholders
Resolutions 5 and 6 seek approval for the issuance of a total 26,400,000 Options to Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Noteholders (excluding Messrs Cuthbert and Bishop).
In respect of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes (which have already been issued), the Company is seeking approval for the issue of 10,500,000 Options to be issued pro-rata to the Tranche 1 Noteholders. The Convertible Note agreements require that in the event shareholders do not approve the issuance of the Options to the Noteholders, the Company will be required to pay to the Noteholders an amount equivalent to the value of those Options on a Black-Scholes basis.
In order to avoid this in respect of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes and given the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes are yet to be issued, the issue of Options to the Tranche 2 Noteholders the subject of this Resolution 6 is interconditional on the passing of Resolution 2 such that if the issue of either the Convertible Notes or the Options to the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes participants is not approved by Shareholders, the Company will abandon the Tranche 2 Convertible Note Issuance.
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out above in relation to Resolution 1.
The proposed issue of the Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolutions 5 and 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options. In addition, the issue of the Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 5 or 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Options, or with the issue of the interconditional Convertible Notes.
As required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information with respect to Resolution 5:
| 5: | |
|---|---|
| Name of recipients | Tranche 1 Noteholders. The allocation policy and means by which these parties were identified is detailed above in respect of Resolution 1. |

Resolution 7: Approval for the issuance of Options to GBA Capital
Resolution 7 seeks the approval for an issue of 4,000,000 Options, on the same terms as those attaching to the Convertible Notes, to the Lead Manager of the Convertible Note Raising, GBA Capital.
GBA Capital’s mandate entitles them to a fee of 6% on all funds raised in the Convertible Note Raising in addition to the grant of these 4,000,000 Options. In the event that shareholders approve Resolution 7, the Company will issue to GBA Capital these 4,000,000 Options which will complete the Company’s engagement with GBA.

The Engagement Letter between the Company and GBA Capital is silent as to whether the Company would have to pay an amount to GBA equivalent to the value of the Options or otherwise remunerate GBA Capital for their services in lieu of the Options.
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out above in relation to Resolution 1.
The proposed issue of the Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
