Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Directors of Jaxsta Ltd ACN 106 513 580 ( Jaxsta or Company ), I am pleased to invite you to attend an Extraordinary General Meeting ( EGM ) of Jaxsta. Enclosed is the Notice of Meeting setting out the business of the EGM (which includes the Explanatory Memorandum and Attachments).
Jaxstaʼs Extraordinary General Meeting will be held at the offices of Maddocks at Angel Place, Level 27, 123 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000 on Friday, 24 June 2022 at 1:00pm (Sydney time).

SONGTRADR TRANSACTION
The EGM is required in order to approve the proposal presented by Songtradr. Jaxsta has reached an inflection point and the Board and the Executive team have worked tirelessly over the past few months to secure the critical funding and long term meaningful relationship with Songtradr on the table now. This process has resulted in significant changes to the Jaxsta business plan, product roadmap, executive team, including change of CEO, and reshaping of the Board.
Welcome to Jaxsta 2.0.
The company has undertaken to complete a transformation, initially with its commitment to significant cost cutting and leadership changes while embracing a hyper-focus on revenue, growth and profitability. These changes have enabled Songtradr to firmly support their proposed additional investment into Jaxsta and to commit to the collaborative efforts required to move Jaxsta to revenue growth and profitability.
To support this transformation, the existing remaining non-executive Jaxsta Board Members and Key Executives will forgo cash fees in lieu of options, as have both of the highly experienced Songtradr nominated new Directors. The new Board composition is well balanced and excited to drive the newly refined and expanded direction of the Company with a very strong ambition to deliver to you, our shareholders, significant results. We thank our executives and team for their efforts in supporting this transaction and acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifices some of them have made in order to do so, particularly Jacqui, Brett and Jorge.
Each of the resolutions presented for approval are necessary for this transaction to proceed and I trust you will support myself and the Board, subject to the Directors’ abstentions, who unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of all resolutions.
Should all the resolutions put forth not be approved the Songtradr transaction will not proceed resulting in the Company having to repay the Songtradr loan leaving Jaxsta with no immediate cash reserves, necessitating the appointment of administrators and winding up operations.

Subject to the Directorsʼ abstentions, the Directors of Jaxsta otherwise unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of all resolutions.

If you are unable to attend the EGM, you must complete and return the enclosed Proxy Form by no later than 1:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 22 June 2022 in one of the ways specified in the Notice of Meeting and Proxy Form.
I also encourage you to read the enclosed Notice of Meeting (including the Explanatory Memorandum and Attachments) and the Proxy Form and consider directing your proxy on how to vote on each Resolution by marking either the “for” box, the “against” box or the “abstain” box on the Proxy Form.

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of the Company in relation to the business to be conducted at the Companyʼs EGM held at the offices of Maddocks at Angel Place, Level 27, 123 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000 on Friday, 24 June 2022 at 1:00pm (Sydney time) and also held online at the same time via Zoom meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85349716862?pwd=NzlPRHVFc1BqTGcxSndEcE9PR2NWZz09.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to decide how to vote upon the resolutions.
Subject to the Directorsʼ abstention from making a recommendation in respect of Resolutions 5 to 9, the Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of all Resolutions. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each Resolution.
All resolutions are ordinary resolutions, which require a simple majority of votes cast by Shareholders present and entitled to vote on the resolution.
The Board of Directors of the Company ( Board ) recommends that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum and its Attachments, before determining whether to support the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting or otherwise. If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Attachments or the Notice of Meeting, please contact the Company Secretary, your stockbroker, your accountant, your solicitor or other professional adviser.
Resolution 1 and 2 : Issue of securities
Background to issue of securities
On 26 November 2020, Shareholders ratified the issue of a convertible note, convertible into 40,571,428 fully paid ordinary shares following the successful completion of the entry into a convertible note agreement with Songtradr Inc. ( 2020 Convertible Note ). On 4 April 2022, the Company announced a further strategic investment by Songtradr Inc. ( Songtradr ) in the Company of A$3.0 million via a secured convertible note ( 2022 Convertible Note ) which provided for an interest free secured initial loan of A$1.7 million ( Initial Advance ), which would be increased by a further A$1.3 million in the event Shareholders approve Resolutions 1 and 2.
Under the 2022 Convertible Note, the Company proposed to issue:
-
1) a convertible note representing 142,857,143 ordinary shares upon conversion; and
-
2) share options that can convert into 142,857,143 ordinary shares upon conversion ( Songtradr Options ),
(together, the Securities ).
The 2022 Convertible Note will be documented by way of a deed of amendment and restatement of the 2020 Convertible Note deed ( Amended Convertible Note Deed ) and secured by way of the existing general security deed dated 10 November 2020 between the Company and Songtradr. The
Jaxsta Limited | Explanatory Memorandum | page 1 of 22
==> picture [85 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
Songtradr Options will be documented as an option deed between the Company and Songtradr ( Option Deed ).
Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Convertible Note Deed, the 2022 Convertible Note is a ʻDiluting Eventʼ, and as such in accordance with the 2020 Convertible Note, the price that the 2020 Convertible Notes will convert into fully paid ordinary Jaxsta shares will be reduced from 3.5 cents to 2.1 cents per share, resulting in an additional conversion of 27,047,619 ordinary shares upon conversion, over the previously approved amount of 40,571,429 .
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the 2022 Convertible Note and the Songtradr Options.
The 2022 Convertible Note is convertible by Songtradr into fully paid ordinary Jaxsta shares priced at $0.021 per share and raises a total of $3,000,000 gross proceeds. Upon exercise of the Songtradr Options at $0.21 per option, the total proceeds raised by the Company will be $3,000,000. The 2020 Convertible Note has raised a total of $1,420,000 gross proceeds and upon conversion will be priced at $0.021 per share should shareholders approve Resolutions 1 and 2.
ASX Listing Rule information
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to have an additional placement capacity broadly equivalent to 10% of its fully paid ordinary issued capital. The Company obtained approval to utilise the additional 10% placement capacity at the Annual General Meeting held on 24 November 2021.
The proposed issue of the 2022 Convertible Note and the Songtradr Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, were it not for the shareholder approval sought under Resolutions 1 and 2, the proposed issue would not be undertaken as the 2022 Convertible Note is conditional upon Shareholder approval being obtained under Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Resolutions 1 and 2 will allow the Company to issue the 2022 Convertible Note and the Songtradr Options during the period of 3 months a�er the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Companyʼs 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Consequences if Resolutions 1 and 2 is approved
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Company will proceed to issue the 2022 Convertible Note and the Songtradr Options and such issues will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Jaxsta Limited | Explanatory Memorandum | page 2 of 22
==> picture [85 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
If Songtradr converts their notes under the 2020 Convertible Note, the 2022 Convertible Note and all Songtradr Options are exercised, Songtradr will hold a relevant interest in 53.812% of Jaxstaʼs securities.
Under the terms of the Amended Convertible Note Deed and the Option Deed, Songtradr cannot convert or exercise their securities into Shares in Jaxsta where such conversion would result in a contravention of Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act, meaning Songtradr cannot obtain a relevant interest in voting shares in Jaxsta exceeding 20% without Shareholder approval being obtained, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by Songtradr or their associates. Songtradr has the right to require Jaxsta to convene a meeting of Shareholders (at its own cost) to obtain Shareholder approval under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act.
Consequences if Resolutions 1 and 2 is not approved
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the 2022 Convertible Notes and Options, which will result in the Company being unable to fulfil the commercial terms of the 2022 Convertible Note Deed. This would also result in an event of default under the Initial Loan, in which case Songtradr would declare all or part of the $1.7M Initial Loan as immediately repayable, which would:
-
1) have significant negative impacts on the Company;
-
2) result in the Company failing to have enough cash to fund its next two quarters which could result ASX suspending trading in the Companyʼs securities on ASX; and
-
3) result in the Company having no immediate cash reserves, requiring the appointment of administrators and potentially wind up operations.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in relation to the proposed issue of the Securities:
-
2) the Securities will be issued to Songtradr;
-
3) the number of Securities the Company will issue are:
-
a) 2022 Convertible Note:
-
i) convertible note, convertible into 142,857,143 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company;
-
ii) 142,857,143 options, convertible into 142,857,143 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on exercise; and
-
-
b) 2020 Convertible Note:
- i) an additional conversion of 27,047,619 ordinary shares upon conversion, over the previously approved amount of 40,571,429,
-
4) the securities will be issued within 3 months of the Company receiving Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX);
Jaxsta Limited | Explanatory Memorandum | page 3 of 22
==> picture [85 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
-
5) the securities to be issued under the 2022 Convertible Note and are issued at a conversion price of A$0.021 per share for a total of A$3.0 million. An additional A$3.0 million will be received by the Company in the event that Songtradr exercises all Songtradr Options;
-
6) the net funds raised from the issue of the Securities will be used primarily for working capital. The funds will also be used by the Company to accelerate the expansion of the Jaxsta platform to include music related consumer products (B2C) and achieve a revenue growth plan targeting profitability within the next 18 months, including an optimised Jaxsta subscription product offering for enterprise customers;
-
7) the shares to be issued on conversion or exercise of the 2022 Convertible Notes, Songtradr Options and 2020 Convertible Notes are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company which rank equally with other existing shares from the date of issue; and
-
8) shares under the 2022 Convertible Notes, Songtradr Options and 2020 Convertible Notes are to be issued to Songtradr Inc in consultation with the Board who qualified under the requirements of section 708 of the Corporations Act.
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the 2022 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes are set out in Attachment A to this Notice of Meeting. A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Songtradr Options are set out in Attachment B to this Notice of Meeting.
A Voting Exclusion Statement accompanies Resolution 1 and 2 in the Notice of Meeting.
Interdependency
Shareholders should note that Resolutions 1 and 2 are interdependent. Therefore, failure of Resolutions 1 will result in Resolutions 2 being deemed not to have been passed and the reverse applies as well.
Board recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
Resolution 3: Election of director – Stephen Gledden
Clause 14.3 of the Constitution allows the Company to appoint at any time a person to be a Director by resolution passed in General Meeting.
In order for the proposed directors to be eligible for election, either the proposed directors, or a Shareholder intending to propose their nomination, must leave at the Companyʼs registered office at least 30 Business Days before the Meeting, a written notice from the proposed directors consenting to their nomination and signifying their candidature for the office, or a written notice from a Shareholder signifying their intention to nominate the proposed directors.

Resolutions 5 - 9: Issue of Options to Directors
General
As announced on 28 April 2022, Jaxsta has undertaken the required strategic and operation review of the Company, under which operating costs will be reduced by at least $1.5M per annum ( Jaxsta Turnaround Plan ). As part of this Review it has been determined that all non-executive Directors of the Board will be remunerated by way of unlisted options over the next two years in lieu of receiving board fees. Additionally Jorge Nigaglioni will reduce his salary by $60,000 per year and will be remunerated by way of unlisted options over the next two years in lieu of the reduction in his cash salary. Resolutions 5 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the following number of unlisted options to the Directors as part of aligning their remuneration with the Review and Shareholder expectations:
-
1) Resolution 5 - 10,000,000 unlisted options to Mr Stephen Gledden (or his nominee)(subject to Resolution 3 being passed);
-
2) Resolution 6 - 10,000,000 unlisted options to Mr Ben Katovsky (or his nominee)(subject to Resolution 4 being passed);
-
3) Resolution 7 - 10,000,000 unlisted options to Ms Linda Jenkinson (or her nominee);
-
4) Resolution 8 - 10,000,000 unlisted options to Mr Robert Gaunt (or his nominee);
(together, the Director Options ).
- 5) Resolution 9 - 5,000,000 unlisted options to Mr Jorge Nigaglioni (or his nominee),
(together, the Executive Options ).
The Director Options will have an exercise price of $0.00 and $0.035 depending on the tranche. The Executive Options will have an exercise price of $0.00. The Director Options and Executive Options will have an expiry date of 3 years from the date of issue.
The primary purpose for issuing the Director Options and Executive Options in place of cash Director fees or salary is to enable the Company to meet the requirements of the Jaxsta Turnaround Plan by managing its cash flow to preserve the Companyʼs cash reserves. The Director Options and Executive Options will also link Directors ongoing contributions with the Company's success which is likely to benefit Shareholders. The Director Options will vest equally in four tranches with:
-
1) 25% vesting on the one year anniversary of the grant date (Tranche 1);
-
2) 25% vesting on the two year anniversary of the grant date (Tranche 2);
-
3) 25% vesting upon the Companyʼs share price reaching a 14 day Volume Weighted Adjusted Price (VWAP) of $0.10 (Tranche 3); and
-
4) the remaining 25% vesting upon the Companyʼs share price reaching a 14 day VWAP of $0.15 and the Director reaching the one year anniversary of the grant date (Tranche 4).
The Tranche 1 and 2 Director Options will be issued to the directors, subject to Shareholder approval, in lieu of the directors and officers fixed cash remuneration cap previously approved by Jaxsta Shareholders. Tranche 3 and 4 of the Directors Options are performance securities converting into less than 10% of the Companyʼs fully diluted share capital to be issued subject, to Shareholder approval, to directors to:
Jaxsta Limited | Explanatory Memorandum | page 7 of 22
==> picture [85 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
-
1) link director performance to Shareholder value;
-
2) align the interest of directors more closely with the interests of Shareholders by providing directors an opportunity to receive shares in Jaxsta; and
-
3) provide greater incentive for directors to focus on the Companyʼs longer term goals.
The Executive Options will vest equally in two tranches with 50% vesting on the one year anniversary of the grant date and 50% vesting on the two year anniversary of the grant date.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
1) obtain the approval of the public companyʼs members in the manner set out in sections 217 and 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
2) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
-
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in the sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The Directors are considered to be related parties within the meaning of the Corporations Act, and the grant of the Director Options and Executive Options, which are the subjects of Resolutions 5 to 9, will constitute a financial benefit for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
An exception to the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E applies where the financial benefit constitutes part of the related party's reasonable remuneration. The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issues because the Director Options will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) in lieu of their normal, periodic directorsʼ fees, and are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act. In reaching this conclusion, the Board has had regard to a variety of factors including market practice and the remuneration offered to persons in comparable positions at comparable companies as well as the primary purpose for issuing the Director Options, being to assist the Company in managing its cash flow by preserving the Companyʼs cash reserves.
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
1) a related party;
-
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;
-
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;
Jaxsta Limited | Explanatory Memorandum | page 8 of 22
==> picture [85 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
-
4) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
5) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASXʼs opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the Director Options and Executive Options fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 (as each party, the subject of Resolutions 5 to 9 respectively, is a Director of the Company or a Director of the Company within six months of the issue of Options) and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Resolutions 5 to 9 therefore require the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 5 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Options and Executive Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Consequences if each of Resolutions 5 to 9 are approved
If Resolutions 5 to 9 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options and Executive Options within one month a�er the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options and Executive Options(because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Options and Executive Options will not use up any of the Companyʼs 15% annual placement capacity.
Consequences if each of Resolutions 5 to 9 are NOT approved
If Resolutions 5 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options to Mr Gledden, Mr Katovsky, Ms Jenkinson and Mr Gaunt in lieu of cash payments for their Directorsʼ fees and and the issue of Executive Options to Mr Nigaglioni in lieu of a portion of his salary and the Company will need to satisfy the payment of these fees and salary out of the Companyʼs cash reserves. This would also mean that the Company is unable to implement its Review which is an event of default under the 2022 Convertible Note. As a result, Songtradr would declare all or part of the outstanding amount under the 2022 Convertible Note or $1.7M Initial Loan as immediately repayable, which would:
-
1) have significant negative impacts on the Company;
-
2) result in the Company failing to have enough cash to fund its next two quarters which could result in the ASX suspending trading in the Companyʼs securities on ASX; and
-
3) result in the Company having no immediate cash reserves, requiring the appointment of administrators and potentially wind up operations.
Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 to 9:

-
