PaySauce launches $4 million capital raise
Lower Hutt, New Zealand – 15 December 2025

Software-as-a-Service fintech PaySauce Limited (NZX: PYS) is pleased to

announce a capital raising comprising of a placement of approximately $3

million to institutional and other investors (Placement) and a $1 million share

purchase plan (SPP) available to investors residing in New Zealand (together, the

Offer).


Proceeds from the Offer will be applied to fund PaySauce’s expansion into the

Australian market, which is scheduled to launch in February 2026.


The Offer structure is designed to broaden PaySauce’s shareholder base and

promote future liquidity.


The Offer will be undertaken at a fixed price of $0.26 per share (Issue Price). The

Issue Price represents a 7.1% discount to the closing share price on Friday, 12

December 2025 of $0.28 per share.


Approximately 15.4 million shares may be issued under the Offer. New shares

issued under the Offer will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares in

PaySauce quoted on the NZX Market from the time of their issue.


Chief Executive Asantha Wijeyeratne, who is moving to Melbourne to work with

PaySauce Australia Executive Director Chris Ridd to drive the Australian

expansion, said: “PaySauce has established a strong record for consistent growth

in revenue and solid earnings and cash flow. From these strong domestic

foundations, we have developed a market-leading payroll solution for micro-

businesses and funded our launch into Australia, a market of around 700,000

micro-businesses that remains largely underserved.”


“The capital raising we are launching today will give us the flexibility to pursue

this opportunity across the Tasman and consider bolt on acquisitions that will

accelerate our growth in this market. We also expect the new capital will

broaden our investor base, enhance liquidity and enable better recognition of

the value we are creating.”


NZX has granted a trading halt to facilitate the Placement. PaySauce expects to

advise the market of the capital raised under the Placement on Wednesday, 17

December 2025.



The SPP will be open from 9.00am (NZST) on Wednesday, 17 December 2025 to

5.00pm (NZST) on Friday, 23 January 2026. The Record Date for the SPP is

5.00pm today, 15 December 2025.


Under the SPP, investors will be invited to subscribe for up to $50,000 of new

shares at $0.26 per share, free of any brokerage, commission, or transaction

costs. If the SPP is oversubscribed, applications may be scaled down in

PaySauce’s sole discretion, by reference to the number of ordinary shares held

by applicants at the Record Date.


Further details about the SPP will be released to the NZX on Wednesday, 17

December 2025. Shareholders of PaySauce on the Record Date will have their

applications preferred over non-shareholders in the event of scaling.


Cameron Partners are acting as Financial Adviser for the Offer. The Offer is not

underwritten.


Please review the investor presentation and cleansing notice released with this

announcement for further information.


Minimum Holdings Notice


Under PaySauce's constitution and the NZX Listing Rules, PaySauce is permitted

to exercise a power of sale of shares held by any person with less than a

Minimum Holding. The PaySauce Board has resolved that a Minimum Holding

of PaySauce shares is a parcel of shares with a value less than NZ$500.


PaySauce recognises that it is difficult for shareholders to sell small parcels of

shares because the cost of brokerage can be disproportionately high relative to

the value of their shareholding. PaySauce is also concerned about the ongoing

cost of maintaining a large number of small holdings on its share register.

Accordingly, the PaySauce Board has determined that it will exercise its power

of sale of shares held by any person with less than a Minimum Holding on its

share register. The Minimum Holding has been set at 1,786 shares, based on the

Average Market Price of PaySauce shares as at market close on Friday 12

December 2025. The attached notice will be sent to affected shareholders

shortly together with the SPP Booklet so that small shareholders who wish to

top up to or above the Minimum Holding can use the SPP as a brokerage free

opportunity to do so.


PaySauce will hold a power of sale over share parcels that are less than a

Minimum Holding on 15 March 2026.



Please note that the Minimum Holding process only effects shareholders who

hold less than a Minimum Holding directly on the PaySauce share register. It

does not affect shareholders who hold shares through a custodial account (such

as Sharesies).

Basis upon which participation by

Existing institutional shareholders will be allocated a

any lower amount bid for. PaySauce will seek to prioritise

allocations to existing shareholders who have been or

who are likely to be high quality, long-term supporters of

the Company. These allocation objectives will be

balanced with PaySauce’s intent to broaden its investor

base and promote liquidity in its shares.

Purpose(s) for which the Issuer is

issuing the Equity Securities

Funds raised will be used to fund PaySauce’s expansion

into the Australian market by enabling PaySauce to invest

Scaling for a Share Purchase Plan must be determined as set out in the definition of “Share Purchase Plan” in the Listing Rules.

Retail offers may apply a different basis for scaling.

Where the issue price per Equity Security is not fixed, and the number of Equity Securities to be issued is not known, the Issuer

should instead indicate the maximum dollar amount of Equity Securities to be issued.

4

Issuers should answer Y if existing shareholders are eligible to participate even if their participation is subject to satisfaction of

eligibility criteria applying to the placement generally, such as the offer only being made to investors in certain jurisdictions or with a

certain status, such as wholesale, sophisticated or professional investors only.

5

Issuers should answer Y if there are no restrictions on participation by Related Parties as a result of their status as Related Parties

(i.e. restrictions on participation applying to the placement generally should be disregarded).

in additional sales and marketing resources and

initiatives. These resources will be used to accelerate

customer acquisition and referral partnerships in the

Australian market. Additional funds will allow PaySauce to

consider potential small scale acquisitions as part of its

growth strategy.

Reason for placement rather than a

pro-rata rights issue or an offer

under a Share Purchase Plan in

which the Issuer’s existing Equity

Security holders would have been

eligible to participate

A Share Purchase Plan is offered in conjunction with the

Placement. A non-pro rata offer is being undertaken with

shares.

Australia expansion: competitive landscape

The competition in Australia is typically

focused on larger businesses or

underserves the micro-business

payroll landscape

Current solutions are fragmented,

and PaySauce is not currently aware of

any other end-to-end micro-payroll

solution with all solutions or features

in a single solution

Only a few existing solutions

currently have built-in functionalityto

manage the complex Fair Work

Payroll Awards

Australia expansion: solving the customer problem
●The Fair Work Pastoral Award is highly complex and creates

ongoing compliance challengesfor more than 4,400 dairy

farms in Australia

●Overtime and Sunday pay rules are difficult to apply in

practiceand often conflict with standard fortnightly pay cycles

●Beyond dairy, ~700k micro-businesses nationwide face

similar payroll issues, often relying on manual processes

●The result is a heavy administrative burden –with significant

time, cost and stress, and no unified compliance solutionfor

micro-businesses, who currently use multiple solutions

Micro-businesses need multiple apps to pay

their staff which are costly....

.... and face significant compliance challenges

Australia expansion: solving the complexity
One solution for micro-businesses that delivers end-to-end payroll:

●Banking integration for staff payments

●Integrated Superannuation payments and filing

●Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 (STP 2) compliant with integrated ATO

payments and filing

●Fair Work Australia Pastoral Award interpretation and comparison

checks -rules for other industry Awards to follow

●Mobile-enabled, end-to-end technology for employers and employees

on the go, a key differentiator in Australia, providing competitive edge

STP: Single Touch Payroll STP is the way DSPs report their customers’ employees' tax and super information to the ATO.

STP 2: Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 includes additional reporting with remuneration, PAYG and superannuation liability.

DSP: A Digital Service Provider develops digital services that help the community (and business) meet their tax and super obligations.

ATO:Australian Tax Office collects tax so that government can deliver services for the Australian community.

Australia expansion: big market opportunity
Many of the micro-businesses share similar pain points that are already solved by

PaySauce. The PaySauce technology stack then enables easy configuration of

industry-specific challenges:

●Trades and construction (Workforce management → Timesheet → Job costing)

●Hospitality(High staff turnover → More part time employees → Employee

maintenance)

●Professional services (Salaried staff → Job costing → Client billing)

Asantha Wijeyeratne
Executive Director, CEO and Co-Founder

Major shareholder (~24%)

We are extremely proud of the business we have built in New Zealand and the traction we have

achieved to date, including our most recent HY26 results where we delivered a +15% YoY increase in

Processing Fees.

PaySauce’sNew Zealand business has grown ARR at +35% CAGR since April 2020 and continues to

deliver sustained growth and cash generation. We have tirelessly reinvested into developing a

best-in-class global payroll platform that is ready to deploy internationally.

Our Australia launch is currently underway and represents an exciting first international step with

our Global Payroll Platform, with 700k micro-businesses that we believe are underserved. My

intention is to relocate to Australia in the first half of 2026 to spearhead market development and

growth. Every 1,000 new customers translates into approximately $1 million of ARR to PaySauce.

We are undertaking a growth equity capital raise to capitalise on this opportunity and accelerate

profitable growth.

Key risks
Although PaySauce has mitigating strategies and steps in place for potential risks, this section sets out some of the key risks that PaySauce has identified. Like any

investment, there are risks associated with an investment in PaySauce. This section does not (and does not purport to) identify all ofthe risks related to the capital raise, the

future operating and financial performance of PaySauce, an investment in PaySauce, or general market, industry, regulatory orlegal risks applying to PaySauce or any of its

subsidiaries. Some risks may be unknown and other risks, that are currently considered to be immaterial, could turn out to bematerial.

Before deciding whether to invest in PaySauce, you must make your own assessment of the risks associated with the investment andconsider whether such an investment

is suitable for you, having regard to publicly available information (including previous NZX disclosure, including the most recent Annual Report), your circumstances, and

following consultation with your financial adviser and other professional advisers.

PaySauce considers the most significant risks associated with PaySauce and its products include:

●Regulatory complexity: PaySauce products are designed to comply with current laws and regulations in New Zealand and Australia. Changes in wage laws, tax

settings, and compliance standards will arise from time to time and are currently proposed in both New Zealand and Australia.PaySauce must continue to develop its

product suite to comply with such changes. If such laws, settings, or standards are simplified this may reduce PaySauce’s marketdifferentiation and favour larger

incumbent competitors with broad bundling tactics.

●Cybersecurity and data protection: PaySauce’s products and services involve the storage and handling of information, including personal and organisational

information. There is a risk that security breaches could result in a temporary inability to access the product’s features orinvolve potential enforcement action and

monetary fines from authorities, litigation by customers and potential indemnity obligations.

●Offshore execution: PaySauce is seeking to expand into the Australian market. There is a risk that PaySauce’s expansion strategy is not implemented effectively or

otherwise does not produce the forecasted revenue benefits. PaySauce’s performance is dependent on the efficient allocation of capital into initiatives that generate

positive returns. An unsuccessful expansion may result in the partial or complete write-off of the capital invested and cap PaySauce’s customer base.

●Competitive intensity: PaySauce faces significant competition from larger payroll incumbents and accounting suites. Bundling and brand tactics from larger

competitors could erode PaySauce’s pricing power and market niche, both in Australia and New Zealand.

●Sector expansion: A large proportion of PaySauce’s customers operate in the agriculture sector. If PaySauce fails to successfully diversify itscustomer base, it risks

capping its total addressable market and remaining vulnerable to sector specific downturns.

●Loss of ‘float’ income: PaySauce generates revenue, in part, by earning interest income on New Zealand customer funds held temporarily (the float). The interest

income earned on the float fluctuates with movements in wholesale interest rates. The opportunity to earn interest income in this way is not available in Australia, and

there is a risk that legislative or regulatory change may reduce or remove PaySauce’sability to earn this in New Zealand.

●SME macro exposure: PaySauce’s product suite is purpose built for micro-businesses. This leaves PaySauce exposed to economic fragility among micro-businesses, as

cycles or weak confidence impact spending. If this occurs, PaySauce may face decreased revenue generation and lose access to a significant portion of its target

addressable market.

Important Information – notice of sale of your
PaySauce shares


We are getting in touch about your current shareholding in PaySauce Limited

(PaySauce).


At the moment, you hold less than 1,786 ordinary shares in PaySauce (Shares),

which means you have less than a ‘minimum holding’. PaySauce’s Board has

resolved to set a minimum holding as being $500 of Shares (Minimum Holding).


The Board has decided to operate a scheme that will enable all shareholdings

below a Minimum Holding to be sold. If you still hold less than 1,786 Shares at 5pm

(NZT) on 15 March 2026, PaySauce will arrange for your Shares to be sold, and the

proceeds paid to you.


Please read the information below about why PaySauce has decided to

implement this scheme and what options are available to you.


Why?


This scheme provides a hassle-free opportunity for small shareholders to sell their

Shares, while also providing a clear pathway for those who wish to retain their

shareholding in PaySauce.


PaySauce has a significant amount of small shareholders and is concerned about

the ongoing cost of maintaining a large number of small holdings on its share

register. PaySauce also understands that holdings below a Minimum Holding are

difficult to sell. Such parcels are not marketable and, even if they were, the

brokerage fees are disproportionately high to the value of such a shareholding.


Option 1: Increase your shareholding before 15 March 2026


You may choose to increase your holding to, or above, 1,786 Shares by purchasing

additional Shares before 15 March 2026. If you would like to purchase more shares,

PaySauce is providing you with a brokerage-free opportunity to do so, via its Share

Purchase Plan which opens on Wednesday 17 December 2025 (SPP).


Please review the market announcement, and the SPP Booklet attached to it, for

more information on how to participate in the SPP. The minimum amount of

Shares you can apply for under the SPP is $500. The SPP will close at 5pm, Friday

23 January 2026. The market announcement will contain a link to the SPP website.


You can also purchase more Shares outside the SPP. However, applicable

brokerage charges will apply. If you would like to purchase more Shares, you can

do so via your broker or share trading platform.


The purchase of additional Shares must be settled by 15 March 2026 and be

registered under the same holding as your existing Shares.



Option 2: Do nothing and PaySauce will arrange for the sale of your Shares


If you do not take any action by 5pm (NZT), 15 March 2026, PaySauce will arrange

for the sale of your Shares.


You will receive the proceeds from the sale of your Shares as soon as possible after

the sale has completed. The price you receive will be the sale price of the Shares at

the time of the sale, less reasonable sale expenses and any amount owing to

PaySauce in respect of your Shares (if any). Any tax consequences that arise from

the sale of your Shares will be your responsibility.


The proceeds from the sale of your Shares will be deposited into the bank account

which PaySauce’s share registrar, MUFG Pension & Market Services, has on record

for you. Please ensure these details are up to date. If you need to, you can update

your bank account online by visiting MUFG’s investor centre at https://www.mufg-

investorservices.com.


Option 3: Transfer your Shares to Sharesies before 15 March 2026


If you would like to continue being a small shareholder in PaySauce, you can

transfer your Shares to the Sharesies platform. Because all Shares held via

Sharesies are pooled and held in a single custodial account on PaySauce’s share

register, Sharesies shareholdings are unaffected by this Minimum Holding

requirement.


If you are not a Sharesies investor, you can sign up at https://app.sharesies.com. If

you are already a Sharesies investor, log in to your Sharesies account and request a

transfer of your Shares by going to ‘Investments’, then selecting ‘Manage’, and

selecting ‘Transfer Shares’. You will need your CSN and FIN details.
