2. Details of the Offer
2.1 Overview and background of the Offer
Under this Prospectus, Jaxsta is offering the opportunity to subscribe for up to 100 Shares in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.25 per Share to raise $25 (before the costs of the Offer).
The Offer will only be extended to specific parties on invitation from the Directors and Application Forms will only be provided to these parties.
All of the Shares issued under the Offer will be fully paid ordinary shares in the share capital of the Company. Shares offered under the Offer will rank equally in all respects with existing ordinary Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus.
2.2 Purpose of the Offer and its objectives
On 22 December 2022, Jaxsta announced that it had successfully entered into agreements in connection with a placement of 12,431,667 Shares, each at an issue price of $0.03 ( Placement Shares ) to raise $372,950 (before costs) ( Placement ). The Placement Shares are being issued to either “Sophisticated Investors” or “Professional Investors” within the meaning of sections 708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act.
The primary purpose of this Prospectus is to remove any secondary trading restrictions that may have attached to the Placement Shares, and any other Shares issued by the Company, before the Closing Date (including prior to the date of this Prospectus). By the Company complying with section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act, the Shareholders who received the Placement Shares can sell these Shares issued within the next twelve months without the issue of a prospectus or other disclosure document.
2.3 Corporations Act and the Placement Shares
If securities are issued to an investor without a disclosure document then the on-sale of those securities is generally restricted pursuant to the Corporations Act, unless an exemption applies (such as those under section 708A of the Corporations Act). If the Company does not fall within one of these exemptions, any securities issued to an exempt investor in accordance with section 708 of the Corporations Act may be restricted from on-sale for the first 12 months from the date of issued unless the investor (to whom the securities may be on-sold) also falls within one of the exemptions.
However, section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure (and therefore would be exempt from the on-sale provisions) if:
-
2.3.1 the relevant securities are in a class of securities that are quoted securities of the body;
-
2.3.2 either:
-
(a) a prospectus is lodged with the ASIC on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or
-
(b) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and
8
- 2.3.3 the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the body that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.
3. Effect of the Offer
3.1

3.3 Effect on Control

-
4.1.7 Shareholder liability: As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

5. Risk Factors
5.1 Introduction
The business, assets and operations of the Company, are subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future. These risk factors can impact the value of an investment in the Shares of the Company. The Company’s Shares comprise a speculative investment.
The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can effectively manage them is limited.
Based on the information available as at the date of this Prospectus, set out below is a list of specific risks that the Company is exposed to. The summary of risks that follows is not intended to be exhaustive and this Prospectus does not take into account the personal circumstances, financial position or investment requirements of any particular person. There may be additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of or that the Company currently considers to be immaterial, which may affect the Company and their related entities.
11
Every investor should:
-
5.1.1 rely on their own knowledge of Jaxsta;
-
5.1.2 refer to disclosures made by Jaxsta on ASX; and
-
5.1.3 consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares under the Offer.
5.2 Risks specific to Jaxsta’s business
● An investment in Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully read the following risks, along with the other information included in this Prospectus. If any of the following risks occurs, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flow could be materially impaired. The public price of our Shares could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
-
5.2.1 Software risks: Jaxsta is reliant on the availability and quality of its software. It is possible that an event could occur (for example, a software, hardware or connectivity outage, a software error or malfunction) that renders critical functionality that Jaxsta relies on for business to become unavailable affecting Jaxsta’s ability to service its customers. Jaxsta has built backup, redundancy and disaster recovery plans into its systems architecture to mitigate this risk.
-
5.2.2 Development risks: The Jaxsta Platform is being developed in cooperation with the industry, but such a platform is the first of its kind in this format. The Company has built its business model to succeed at management’s view of reasonable take up levels based on management’s belief on what is a realistic base of assumptions. As with all software businesses, development time is crucial. Jaxsta requires continuous development in order to grow the business by providing more features, new revenue streams and competitive barriers. Jaxsta mitigates these risks by implementing agile software development practises to ensure the Jaxsta Platform can pivot and evolve based on changing requirements.
The development of the Vinyl.com platform is being developed by an outside party with the experience in building these types of platforms. There is a risk of delay in integrating the Jaxsta and other partner information in the timeline agreed to. Jaxsta is mitigating this risk by limiting the scope of the initial release and build enhancements through incremental development.
-
5.2.3 Future funding needs: The cash reserves as at the date of this Prospectus, together with the funds to be received in connection with the Placement, are considered sufficient to meet the immediate objectives of the Company. Further funding may be required by the Company to support its ongoing operations and implement its strategies [in the short to medium term]. Accordingly, we may need to engage in future equity and debt financings, including other methods if applicable to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing shareholders could suffer additional significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our ordinary shares. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favourable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to support our business growth, acquire or retain Users, and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired. This may result in the delay or cancellation of certain activities or projects which would likely adversely affect the potential growth of the Company which in turn could harm our business.
-
5.2.4 Attracting and retaining customers to the Jaxsta & Vinyl Platform: The Company’s revenue can be affected by its ability to attract and retain customers on
12
the Jaxsta Platform. Various factors, such as marketing and promotions, brand damage or interruptions to service provisions, can affect the level of these customers using the Jaxsta Platform.
-
5.2.5 Commercial Data Access Agreements : Jaxsta has entered and will continue to enter into various Commercial Data Access Agreements ( CDAAs ) with third party Data Partners for the supply and license of content and metadata which is used by the Jaxsta Platform. Jaxsta is dependent on these third party Data Partners to supply data for the Jaxsta Platform and there are inherent contractual risks associated with these various CDAAs. Risks include, amongst other things, the risk of termination or non-renewal of these CDAAs by Data Partners and disputes with Data Partners.
-
5.2.6 Distribution Agreements : Jaxsta has entered and will continue to enter into various Distribution Agreements with third party suppliers for the supply and distribution of vinyl products which are used by the Vinyl Platform. Jaxsta is dependent on these third party suppliers to supply data for the Vinyl Platform and provide the supply and logistics of vinyl products for order fulfillment. There are inherent contractual risks associated with these various Distribution Agreements. Risks include, amongst other things, the risk of termination or non-renewal of these Distribution Agreements by these third parties, as well as disputes with the third parties.
-
5.2.7 Vinyl.com Licensing Agreements : Jaxsta has entered into a licensing agreement (IP license ) with Songtradr Inc for the use of the Vinyl.com URL. The agreement has a licensing cost and a purchase option to acquire the full rights within a three year time frame. Jaxsta is dependent on this IP license to commercialise its direct to consumer merchandising opportunity. There are inherent contractual risks associated with the IP license. Risks include, amongst other things, the risk of termination or non-renewal of the IP license by Songtradr, as well as disputes with Songtradr. There is also a risk of not realising the value of this agreement early in its cycle, increasing the cost of the outright acquisition of the intellectual property.
-
5.2.8 Computer system risk: Our growth depends on the ability of our potential customers to access the Jaxsta Platform and the Vinyl Platform at any time and within an acceptable amount of time. In addition, our intention is to rely almost exclusively on our website for the payment of product and service sales. We may in the future experience disruptions, data loss, outages and other performance problems with our infrastructure and website due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, introductions of new functionality, human or software errors, capacity constraints, denial of service attacks or other security-related incidents. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times as our products and website become more complex and our user traffic increases. If our products and websites are unavailable or if our users are unable to access our products within a reasonable amount of time, or at all, our business would be harmed. Moreover, we depend on services from various third parties, such as Amazon Web Services, to maintain our infrastructure and distribute our products via the Internet. Any disruptions in these services, outside of our control, would significantly impact the continued performance of our products. In the future, these services may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of these services could result in decreased functionality of our products until equivalent technology is either developed by us or, if available from another provider, is identified, obtained and integrated into our infrastructure. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed, and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed. To mitigate these risks to the business we utilise cloud based
13
infrastructure to back up across multiple regions covering our global market and endeavour to ensure architecture is scalable and systems are constantly evolving to take advantage of more performative technologies.
- 5.2.9 Data loss, theft or corruption: Techniques used to gain unauthorised access to data and software are constantly evolving, and we may be unable to prevent unauthorised access to data pertaining to our users, including credit card and debit card information and other personal data about our Users, business partners and employees. Like all internet services, our Service, which is supported by our own systems and those of third parties we work with, is vulnerable to software bugs, computer viruses, internet worms, break-ins, phishing attacks, attempts to overload servers with denial-of-service, data scraping or other attacks and similar disruptions from unauthorised use of our third-party computer system. Any of these could lead to system interruptions, delays or shutdowns, causing loss of critical data or the unauthorised access to personal data. We may incur significant costs in protecting against or remediating cyber-attacks.
Any failure or perceived failure, by us to maintain the security of data relating to our users, to comply with our privacy policy, laws and regulations, industry standards, and contractual provisions to which we may be bound, could create a loss of confidence in us. This could also result in actions against us by governmental entities or others, all of which could result in litigation and financial losses, and could potentially cause us to lose Users, data partners and revenue generating opportunities.
Jaxsta has risks on both the data ingestion and data maintenance portion of the business. On the data ingestion side, Jaxsta has developed and driven new standardised tools to ensure data that is ingested is translated into a Jaxsta proprietary format before being made available to the public. This will ensure that no proprietary partner data is available in its original format. The ingestion process has also worked with industry groups and data partners to utilise standards to ensure the highest level of compatibility. Regarding data maintenance, Jaxsta utilises various systems to manage their structures and assets to prevent unauthorised access and corruption of data. Jaxsta will provide its services online through the Jaxsta Platform and Vinyl Platform.
Jaxsta has strategies and protections in place to mitigate security breaches and to protect data.
- 5.2.10 Reputation Risk: Jaxsta operates in an online environment therefore unfavourable publicity regarding: terms of Service, Service changes, Service quality, the actions of our developers whose services are integrated with our Service, the use of our Service for illicit, objectionable, or illegal ends, the actions of our Users, the quality and integrity of content shared on our Service, or the actions of other companies that provide similar services to us, could materially affect our reputation. Such negative publicity could have an adverse effect on the size, engagement, and loyalty of our User base and result in decreased revenue, which could materially adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
● Negative publicity can spread quickly, whether true or false. Disgruntled customers posting negative comments about Jaxsta, in public forums may also have a damaging effect on Jaxsta’s reputation and its ability to earn revenues and profits.
Our brand may be impaired by a number of other factors, including failure to keep pace with technological advances on the Jaxsta Platform, Vinyl Platform or with our Service, slower load times for our Service, a decline in the quality or quantity of the content available on our Service, a failure to protect our intellectual property rights, or any alleged violations of law, regulations, or public policy.
14
To mitigate these risks, Jaxsta:
-
is working with publicists locally and internationally who will alert us to any bad press and help mitigate the fallout;
-
has an alerts system that notifies us of press for monitoring;
-
has a digital media agency that manages our social media and necessary responses working with the wider Jaxsta team and our team of publicists;
-
has a communications flow policy for all media releases involving our company secretary, our local fin/tech PR firm, our local music industry PR firm, international PR team and digital media agency;
-
has its social media team and PR team which have a communication plan in place for responding to social media questions and comments. Appropriate responses have been prepared, then reviewed and approved by senior management to ensure we can respond to questions and comments on social media in a timely manner with the best possible response;
-
has created clear escalation pathways to respond to comments that fall outside the scope of our prepared responses; and
-
created [email protected] and [email protected] - both email addresses have multiple people receiving these emails so there is always someone to review, respond or escalate if required.
-
5.2.11 Contract Risk: We are party to many license agreements which are complex and impose numerous obligations upon us which may make it difficult to operate our business. A breach of such agreements could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
5.3 Investment speculative
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 Company’s Shares.
