Challenger Acquisitions - this will be a slow motion car crash

Challenger Acquisitions (CHAL) was always going to be a car-crash in slow motion. The IPO on 19 February 2015 raised £1.1 million with significant support from Yorkville Advisors so Challenger started life as a public company with a 30% overhang. It then funded its first acquisition, the investment in the New York Wheel, via £3 million of relatively short-term convertible debt – there was clearly potential for death spiral funding to come.
