Filing of Application for Injunction Seeking Suspension of Placing and Open Offer

Further to its announcement made on 6 September 2016 relating to a Placing and Open Offer of New Ordinary Shares and potential placing of Additional Placing Shares (the "Capital Raise"), Chagala Group Limited (the "Company" or "Chagala") announces that on 16 September 2016 TIPP Investments PCC ("TIPP") filed an application (the "Application") in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in the Commercial Division of the High Court of Justice of the British Virgin Islands (the "Court") for a court order requiring the suspension of the Placing and Open Offer until 27 October 2016, which is the scheduled date of a hearing in relation to a claim filed by TIPP on 27 July 2016 against the Company and its individual board members. The Application was made on various grounds including, among others, that the Placing and Open Offer transaction would prejudice TIPP's rights as a shareholder in the Company. The Company believes that there is no reasonable basis for such an order to be granted and intends to vigorously contest the Application. A hearing on the Application is expected to take place on or about 22 September 2016. If the Court denies the Application at such hearing and does not otherwise issue an order precluding the Capital Raise from proceeding, the Company intends that the Capital Raise will proceed in accordance with the existing expected timetable.
