Challenger Acquisitions Limited

("Challenger" or the "Company")

Issue of £0.5m convertible notes

Challenger Acquisitions Limited (LSE: CHAL), a leader in the Giant Observation Wheel industry, is pleased to announce it has raised £0.5 million by means of the issue of secured convertible notes due 2 March 2017 ("Secured Convertible Notes 2017").

The funds raised from the Secured Convertible Notes 2017 will be used to support the Company's active growth strategy, in addition to supporting general working capital purposes, as it continues to solidify its leading industry position in the Giant Observation Wheel ("GOW") sector. Challenger has a pipeline of 25 GOWs worldwide, with the Company planning to add one new major project per year. In Jakarta, South East Asia, the local developer is finalising bank financing for a 125 meter GOW, where land for the site has recently been secured.

These new projects will complement the Company's current ~3% interest in New York Wheel Investor LLC, a company set up to fund the equity component of the US$500 million New York Wheel Project on Staten Island, US. This will include a 630ft GOW, a 68,000sq ft terminal and retail building, and a 950 space parking garage, and is targeted to be operational in Q3 2017.

Challenger CEO Mark Gustafson said: "We are constantly evaluating expansion opportunities and continue to make progress in building our portfolio of Giant Observation Wheels. With this in mind we have recently increased our interest in the New York Wheel Project on Staten Island to ~3% and coupled with bank financing soon to be completed for our planned wheel in Jakarta, this is undoubtedly an exciting time for Challenger. The raising of £0.5 million will help ensure that we maintain our fast-paced development approach, as we remain focussed on adding at least one new major project to our portfolio per year from our pipeline of 25 potential new wheels identified. We look forward to keeping shareholders updated with our progress in due course."
