KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA ( http://lifestyleuganda.com/) — MTN Uganda has received approval from the Capital Market Authority of Kenya (CMAK) to market its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in Kenya, allowing both professional investors and retail investors to purchase shares after the Offer opened in Uganda on 11th October 2021.

In Kenya, marketing is coordinated by SBG Securities, Dyer and Blair, and their Ugandan affiliates. Both are licensed market intermediaries in Kenya.

As the Transaction Advisor and Lead Sponsoring Broker for the MTN Uganda IPO, SBG Securities Uganda Limited will work closely with SBG Securities Limited (Kenya) to market the IPO in Kenya.

MTN Uganda is offering 4.4 billion ordinary shares, or twenty per cent of the company, through an initial public offering at a price of UGX 200.00 each.

The minimum amount each prospective shareholder must apply for is 500 shares, so if all 500 shares are allocated, each shareholder will invest at least UGX 100,000.

To apply for the MTN Uganda IPO, Kenyan investors must have a valid ID or passport to open a Securities Central Depository (SCD) account at the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE).

East Africans applying for MTN Uganda shares will receive 5 bonus shares for every 100 shares they are allotted. The IPO closes on Monday, 22nd November 2021 at 4 pm Eastern Time.

With its offer, MTN will become the first telecommunications company to list on the Uganda Securities Exchange, which will contribute to deepening Ugandan and East African capital markets by enhancing public access.

CEO Wim Vanhelleputte said the decision to list shares on the stock exchange is part of MTN’s localization agenda intended to align its company’s priorities with those of its operating markets, particularly the African continent, as spelt out in its Ambition 2025 strategy.

“By listing MTN on the Uganda Securities Exchange, we are in line with our localization agenda aimed at giving East Africans an opportunity to own part of the company,” said Vanhelleputte, adding that Uganda is the fourth MTN operating market to be listed.
