Challenger Acquisitions Limited (LSE: CHAL), a leader in the Giant Observation Wheel industry announces that further to the convertible notes issued by the Company as announced on 20 May 2015 and 30 July 2015 ("2015 Notes") it has agreed with all outstanding holders of the 2015 Notes that they shall receive an amended and restated convertible note instrument on exactly the same terms other than the date of maturity which will now be 06 May 2017.

Challenger is also pleased to announce it has raised £0.5 million (£0.475 million net of fees) by means of the issue of a new unsecured convertible note due 22 April 2018 ("Convertible Note 2018").

 

The funds raised from the Convertible Note 2018 will be used to support the Company's active growth strategy and for general working capital purposes, as it continues to solidify its leading industry position in the Giant Observation Wheel ("GOW") sector.

 

Mark Gustafson, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are pleased and appreciate that the current holders of the 2015 Notes have agreed to roll-over their current holdings for another 12 months, demonstrating their confidence in our business model and providing us with additional flexibility to execute our business plans. The funding of £0.5 million will help ensure that we continue to develop our pipeline of 25 potential new GOW projects in Starneth. We look forward to keeping shareholders updated with our progress in due course."
