Champion Enterprises Announces Proposed Offering of $130 Million of Convertible Senior Notes

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 29, 2007 – Champion Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: CHB), a leader in factory-built construction, today announced a proposed offering of $130 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2037. The company intends to grant the underwriter of the proposed offering an option to purchase up to an additional $19.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes solely to cover over-allotments. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC will act as the underwriter and sole bookrunning manager for the proposed note offering.

The interest rate, conversion rate, conversion price and other terms of the notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering by negotiations between the company and the underwriter. The offering is being marketed with an expected conversion premium ranging from 73 percent to 77 percent above the current market price of the company’s common stock. Holders of the notes may require the company to repurchase the notes if the company is involved in certain types of corporate transactions or other events constituting a fundamental change. Beginning in 2012 the company will have the right to redeem the notes, in whole or in part. Holders of the notes have the right to require the company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes on November 1 of each of 2012, 2017, 2022, 2027 and 2032.

The company intends to use the net proceeds of the notes offering to repurchase its notes due 2009 tendered in a tender offer, repay a portion of the outstanding principal under its term loan due 2012, pay related fees, expenses and accrued interest, and for general corporate purposes.
