PaySauce Rights Issue Update  
 

Wellington, New Zealand - 27 February 2020  

 

 

SaaS employment solutions provider PaySauce (NZX:PYS) today has  

shared an update on their ongoing Rights Issue.   

 

Of the total issue of 17,052,325 rights, Andrew Barnes, via his  

investment holding Coulthard Barnes (PaySauce) Ltd, has indicated  

that he will take up to his full entitlement of 3,340,951 rights. Four  

other associated parties have indicated that they will take up to their  

full entitlement, totalling 615,564 rights. The level actually taken up  

by this group will be a number that does not increase the  

percentage holding of these shareholders (due to Takeovers Code  

requirements), but ultimately they will participate in 23.2% of the  

total issue, when determined.  

 

The period of rights trading ended on the 25th of February. A total of  

1,203,864 rights or 7.06% were traded on-market.  

 

In addition to the rights sold on-market, co-founders Asantha  

Wijeyeratne and Troy Tarrant have sold a further 708,418 rights  

off-market (4.2% of the total rights issued) with a range of new  

investors, as per the disclosures dated 27 February. Among those  

who will be taking up new shares via the Rights Issue is new CFO  

Jaime Monaghan, who recently came to PaySauce from a role as  

Head of Insurance at TradeMe. Sam Knowles, Founding CEO of  

Kiwibank and former Chair at Xero, will also take on new shares  

through Com Investments Limited.

Dear Shareholder  

 

IMPORTANT REMINDER: PAYSAUCE RIGHTS OFFER CLOSING SOON  

 

We would like to remind you that PaySauce’s pro-rata 1 for 7 renounceable Rights Offer  

closes at 5.00pm on Monday, 2 March 2020.  

 

If you have already accepted or sold all of your rights, you do not need to take any  

further action.  

 

The issue of a ‘Right’, is a right to buy a share at a certain price at a future date. It grants  

shareholders the right, but not the obligation, to buy new shares. With the Rights, a  

shareholder can purchase new shares at a discount to the market price. Shareholders may  

also sell their Rights, enabling them to gain some value if they decide not to take up their  

Rights and participate in the capital raise, however as trading has now ceased on the NZX,  

this will now have to be done off-market and promptly in order to give the rights purchaser  

time to take up the Rights prior to the closing date.  

 

PaySauce is offering existing shareholders the ‘right’ to acquire new PaySauce shares at 34  

cents per share.  

 

The Rights allotted to you may be valuable and you have a number of options as to how to  

deal with them. These “Actions to be taken by Eligible Shareholders’ are explained on page  

10 of the Offer Document which was sent to you, and can be read online at  

https://www.paysauceshareoffer.com

Registrar together with payment in New Zealand dollars. See details on page 10 of

You may choose to take up your entitlements in whole, in part, or not at all. You may also  

choose to over-subscribe; full details are found on page 10 of the Offer Document.  

 

Applications, together with the total amount payable, must be received by 5:00pm on
