VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is the average price that the security has traded at over the period of time, based 

on both volume and price. The 186 day VWAP of $0.68 has been used as a discount comparator, from the date of the share 

consolidation, to put some more perspective to the recent increase in the share price. 

2

TERP is the theoretical ex rights price of NZ$0.88 which is equal to the average price of 1 new share at the Issue Price of 

NZ$0.34 and 7 existing shares at NZ$0.98 being the last traded price as at 17 January 2020. 

 
The PaySauce Board has resolved to proceed on the above basis at this time and 

documentation for the offer is now being prepared. PaySauce intends to apply to NZX for 

quotation of the rights shortly and will, in due course, issue a capital change notice in 

accordance with the NZX Listing Rules.

anticipated that approximately $1.25M will be converted in aggregate.
