Challenger Acquisitions Limited (LSE: CHAL) announces that it has received GBP100,000 (GBP95,000 net of fees) from the setup of a new GBP1,000,000 unsecured convertible note facility due 8 June 2019 ("Note Facility").

This Note Facility will be used for general working capital purposes and to potentially support an acquisition or development of a project to complement the Company's US$3 million equity interest in the US$590 million New York Wheel Project which is currently under construction.

Challenger has also engaged a London based consulting firm, on a success fee basis, to assist in identifying and securing project level funding sources for potential Giant Observation Wheel projects and for other new potential projects in the leisure and entertainment sectors which the Company is currently evaluating.

Mark Gustafson, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are very pleased to have a funding facility in place and to be working on securing additional funding sources for potential new projects for Challenger. Further updates will be provided in due course."
