On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Richard and Gene for their instrumental support in the difficult restructuring phase and wish them the best of luck for the future."

Challenger has received £40,500 pursuant to a subscription agreement for 27,000,000 ordinary shares at 0.15p. These funds will be used for working capital purposes.
