MTN Nigeria held an Analyst conference yesterday ahead of its planned listing by
introduction on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). While we anticipated that there would be discussions on the shareholding structure of the firm pre and post-listing, the listing price, possibility of an IPO in H2 2019, the conference centred on the nature of the firm’s business, their corporate governance framework, the investment case for the company alongside its growth prospects.

While management was silent on issues around the planned listing by introduction, they
however, tried to soothe analysts concerns on the regulatory issues the firm has with the
Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Central Bank of Nigeria and the Attorney General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (AGF) whilst also stressing the measures put in place to strengthen corporate governance framework – the establishment of the office of Chief Risk & Compliance /Internal Audit, Executive Corporate Relations and Chief Operating Officer.

The Key takeaways we gathered from the presentation include;
