ASX RELEASE

Strategic Investment by Songtradr

Sydney, Australia, 4 April 2022: Jaxsta Limited ACN 106 513 580 ( Jaxsta or the Company , ASX: JXT) the worldʼs largest database of official music credits, has today announced a further strategic investment from Songtradr Inc. of A$3.0 million via a secured convertible note ( Convertible Note ).

Highlights:

  • The Convertible Note provides an interest free secured initial loan of A$1.7 Million ( Initial Advance ) until the Convertible Note is approved by shareholders;

  • Upon shareholder approval of the Convertible Note, the Initial Advance will be increased by a further A$1.3 Million subscription ( Tranche 2 ) for a total subscription amount of A$3.0 Million, convertible by Songtradr into fully paid ordinary Jaxsta shares at A$0.021 per share ( Subscription Amount );

  • The Convertible Note facilitates a further potential investment by Songtradr of A$3.0 Million through the issue of 142,857,143 share options with an exercise price of A$0.021 per share (to the extent exercised by Songtradr);

  • The Convertible Note carries an interest rate of 7.5% per annum capitalised quarterly commencing at the date of shareholder approval of the Convertible Note, with interest capable of conversion to shares by Songtradr at the conversion price of A$0.021 and convertible at the time of conversion and a three year term; and

  • The Company will be undertaking strategic and operational changes as part of the growth investment to ensure at least a 12 months cash runway.

The agreement extends the existing strategic partnership initiated by Songtradr in 2020. The Company will be using this investment to expand its technology platform to deliver a transformational B2C strategy targeting the rapid global expansion of music consumption and fan engagement.

Jacqui Louez-Schoorl, Jaxsta CEO & Founder, stated, “ Weʼre delighted to further grow our relationship with Songtradr, and excited with our plans to expand the platform. This new initiative will utilise our valuable data to benefit both the music industry as well as music consumers and fans. We believe that our existing customers (Jaxsta Core and Plus users) will realise increased value through consumer activity insights and transactions. Additionally, this B2C expansion will open up a much larger market for our growing API licensing business by combining data from new growth initiatives with our unmatched B2B data.”

Songtradr, CEO and Founder Paul Wiltshire added, “ Music consumption has been evolving rapidly over the last 2 pandemic years. From new technologies such as NFTs that have opened up entirely new markets to physical vinyl sales that have increased approximately 60% (US$1B)

in 2021 compared to 2020, there is a big opportunity for Jaxsta. As the only platform in the world that has global connected music credits data sourced directly from the music industry with unique URLs for virtually every known released album and artist in history, Jaxsta can create significant value through highly targeted, unique consumer experiences, monetising its data in a new and rapidly growing market. From Songtradrʼs perspective, Jaxstaʼs technology is a key component to solving industry-wide data related issues and our focus on the transformation of the B2B music marketplace. This deeper investment between Jaxsta and Songtradr will foster new innovation and increased opportunities for both companies.”
