Airtel Africa has announced it preparedness to list its shares on the floor of the Malawi Stock Exchange.

The telecommunications company said it would embark on an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of its Malawian subsidiary on the main market of the Malawi Stock Exchange.

Though the company is yet to obtain approval, it said the offering of its shares for sale would also be determined by the condition of the market.

In the statement obtained by Nairametrics, Airtel Africa said its indicative price range for the offer of its local business in Malawi and the “exact number of Shares to be sold in the Offer would be determined in due course.”

Regulation forces Airtel Africa to initiate shares listing in Malawi 

Why is Airtel Africa listing in Malawi? It is listing its shares in Malawi in order to comply with the laws of the country. Section 35 of the Communications Act of 2016, regulation 26 (2) of the communication (Telecommunications and Broadcasting Licensing), Regulations of 2016 and Clause 42.2 of the Subsidiary’s operating license requires the company to have at least 20% local Malawian shareholding.

Though the date for its listing wasn’t disclosed, the company disclosed that its subsidiary had employed the services of Standard Bank Plc in Malawi to act as book runner and as Lead Transaction Advisor to the company.
