Initially set to close on August 14, 2024, the period has now been extended to August 23, 2024, following the approval of the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC).

Access Holdings, on July 8, 2024, commenced its rights issue offers of 17.773 billion ordinary shares of N0.50 each at N19.75 per share.

The offer was issued on the basis of one new ordinary share for every two existing ordinary shares held as of June 7, 2024.

In a statement signed by the Group’s company secretary of Access Holdings, Sunday Ekwochi said that “the decision is in response to the recent nationwide protest that disrupted operations of businesses and individuals across Nigeria and to provide shareholders with ample opportunity to subscribe to their rights.
