Airtel Africa Plc commenced a second share buyback programme that will return up to $100 million to its shareholders. The sole purpose of the buy-back programme is to reduce the capital of the Company. As such, all shares purchased under the buy-back programme will be cancelled.

On January 6, 2025 Airtel Africa said it has purchased 4,335,517 ordinary shares in aggregate from Barclays Capital Securities Limited pursuant to the authority granted by its shareholders as part of its share buy-back programme, details of which were announced on December 23, 2024.

The company recently released detailed information of the individual trades made by Barclays Capital Securities Limited as part of the buy-back programme.

The share buy-back programme is expected to be phased over two tranches, with the first tranche anticipated to end on or before April 24, 2025.

The first tranche will amount to a maximum of $50 million.

The Company entered into an agreement with Barclays Capital Securities Limited (Barclays) to conduct the first tranche of the buy-back and carry out on-market purchases of its ordinary shares with the Company subsequently purchasing its ordinary shares from Barclays.

 

Under this agreement, Barclays will act as riskless principal and will make decisions independently of the Company.

 

At the annual general meeting on July 3, 2024 shareholders gave the Company authority to purchase a maximum of 374,141,187 ordinary shares and following the completion of the previous buyback, the remaining authority amounts to a maximum of 328,842,995 ordinary shares).

 

Airtel Africa said the share buyback reflects the Board’s confidence in the Company’s continued growth potential, the strength of its balance sheet and the consistent cash accretion at the holding company level.

 

The buyback remains in line with the Company’s existing capital allocation policy. The programme will be executed in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulation.

 

Any purchases of ordinary shares under the buy-back programme will be carried out in accordance with certain pre-set parameters set out in the agreement with Barclays and in accordance with (and subject to the limits prescribed by) the Company’s general authority to repurchase ordinary shares granted by its shareholders from time to time.
