MTN Nigeria Raises N72.18 Billion in Oversubscribed Commercial Paper Issuance

MTN Nigeria Communications PLC hereby notifies Nigerian Exchange Limited and the investing public of the successful completion of its Series 13 and 14 Commercial Paper issuance under the Company’s N250 billion Commercial Paper Issuance Programme (the ‘CP Issuance’).

MTN Nigeria sought to raise N50 billion, but the offer recorded a 144% over subscription with N72.18 billion issued. The 180-day and 270-day CP were issued at yields of 27.50% and 29.00%, respectively, with an issue date of Friday, 29 November 2024. This follows the N75.18 billion Commercial Paper issued on 7 November 2024, demonstrating investor confidence in the management and financial performance of MTN Nigeria. The proceeds will be used to support short-term working capital requirements.

We are pleased with the support received from the investor community, having recorded 144% subscription with participation from a broad range of investors. This further reinforces MTN Nigeria’s financial position, brand strength and market leadership amidst the challenging macro conditions.
