ChallengerX  (AQUIS: CXS), the company that employs both traditional and non 
-traditional marketing strategies to rapidly "professionalise" amateur and semi 
-professional sports clubs around the world, is pleased to announce that it has 
entered into an exclusive licence agreement with Flash Corp Technologies Ltd 
("Flash Corp") by which the Company has acquired a renewable 13-month license 
over the rights of FlashBet Wheel App's design and technology in UK and Europe, 
for a consideration to be satisfied by 80,000,000 new ordinary shares of £0.001 
each issued at market price of 0.55p in ChallengerX ("New Shares"), representing 
18.91% of the enlarged issued share capital of ChallengerX. Under the terms of 
the licence agreement, ChallengerX has the right to continually extend the 
license on a year-by-year basis for a royalty fee calculated as an amount equal 
to 10% of ChallengerX's yearly revenue. In addition, at any time during or at 
the end of the licence term, ChallengerX will have the right to acquire the 
exclusive rights to the intellectual property relating to FlashBet Wheel App 
Technology in perpetuity for a consideration to be satisfied by the issue of 
900,000,000 shares. 
 
About Flash Corp and the FlashBet Wheel App: 
 
Flash Corp is a company that develops and promotes technology for the sports 
betting and gaming industry. Flash Bet is a patented digital gaming platform 
that aims to improve the way bettors engage with online betting. Flash Corp's 
shareholders comprise a number of individuals and companies, with Tik Tok 
Technologies Limited (a company incorporated in England & Wales, with company 
number 10221419; for the avoidance of doubt, the company has no connection with 
TikTok app or its parent company ByteDance Ltd) and Gazelle Investments Limited 
(a company incorporated in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus with company 
number MS15508) holding respectively approximately 41% and 27%. 
 
 The FlashBet Wheel App is an innovative parlay/accumulator betting product. The 
platform removes the friction from the process via a gamified "betting wheel" 
that the Flash Corp intends to integrate into gaming operation portfolios, while 
at the same time building an internal B2C (direct-to-costumer) customer 
acquisition on-ramp at scale.
