What you should know

  • Nairametrics reported that Peace Mass Transit purchased 313,326,316 units of the Neoma Africa Fund L.L.C. (formerly Aureos Africa Fund, L.L.C.) unsecured variable coupon redeemable convertible loan stock in registered units of N4.75 each or its US$ equivalent in C&I Leasing Plc.
  • When fully converted, the loan stock will result in the issuance of 987,500,000 ordinary shares of the company, this will represent 55.82% of the issued shares of the company.
  • It is important to note that Actis invested in C&I Leasing in 2010. The terms of the loan stock from C&I Leasing gave Actis an option to convert the instrument to equity. The UK- based equity firm after reaching a deal with Peace Mass Transit sold the loan stock with all the rights.
  • This, therefore, gives Peace Mass Transit an opportunity to convert the loan stock into equity and become the single largest shareholder in the company.
  • Peace Mass Transit is a transport company with an interest in Banking, Oil & Gas, Pharmaceuticals, Agro Chemicals and Auto Assembly.

  • “The decision to invest in C&I Leasing is a no-brainer, judging from the company’s remarkable growth trajectory in marine logistics and its other business lines. We have seen the value in C&I Leasing as a strong brand, hence it is a no brainer that we opted to buy out the loan stock from Actis, in a deal which we are confident will yield the expected return on investment.”
