The program aims to raise $1.5 billion through a share sale or bond offering. The company also plans to ask existing shareholders to raise N365 billion through a rights issue.

Access Holdings in a press release to LEADERSHIP said: “the Programme aims to enhance the Group’s financial strength through the issuance of various financial instruments such as ordinary shares, preference shares, Alternative Tier 1 capital, convertible and/or non-convertible debt, bonds, or other capital and/or funding instruments.

“The Programme may be executed through a variety of methods including public offerings, private placements, rights issues, book building processes, or a combination thereof. The specifics regarding the tranches, series, proportions, dates, pricing, tenor, and other terms and conditions that may be associated, will be determined by the Board of Directors, contingent upon securing the necessary regulatory approvals.”

The Holdings said drawing from the programme, the Group expects to raise up to N365 billion specifically via a rights issue of ordinary shares, saying that the proceeds of the proposed rights issue would be used to support ongoing working capital needs including organic growth funding for its banking and other non-banking subsidiaries.
