Rights Issue Reminder Notice and Progress Update
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

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