Challenger Acquisitions Limited (LSE: CHAL), a leader in the Giant Observation Wheel industry announces that it has allotted 529,952 new Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each ("Shares") to the holders of convertible loan notes in payment of interest due for quarter ended 30 September 2016, as set out in the below table. In respect of the Convertible Loan Notes due 2019, the Company has elected to pay seven-eighths of the interest due in the form of new Convertible Loan Notes due 2019.

Note: The calculation of the number of shares to be allotted is performed for each individual holder and rounded to the nearest whole share. As such, there are small rounding differences in the table above.

Note ^: Includes interest due on Notes converted in the quarter, such interest calculated by reference to the date of conversion.

The Company has agreed with the holder of the Convertible Notes due 2019 that Shares issued in respect of quarterly interest payments (1/8 of the total 8% due on the notes) will be calculated by reference to the 10-day trading average share price. The conversion price for Convertible Notes due 2019 remains at 80p.

Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for 529,952 Shares to be admitted to listing on the standard listing segment of the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for such shares to be admitted to trading on the Main Market for listed securities. It is expected that Admission will become effective, and dealings in the new ordinary shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. on 17 October 2016.

Following this allotment, the total number of ordinary shares with a nominal value of £0.01 each (the "Ordinary Shares") in issue and the total number of voting rights in the Company is 21,708,403. There are no shares held in treasury. The figure of 21,708,403 Ordinary Shares and voting rights may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
