INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K
IHS Holding Limited Enters into a $439 Million Equivalent Five Year
Term Loan
October 16, 2024, London: IHS Holding
Limited (NYSE: IHS) (“IHS Towers”), one of the largest independent owners, operators, and developers of shared communications
infrastructure in the world by tower count, has, on October 7, 2024, entered into a new $439 million equivalent, dual-tranche, five
year bullet term loan, split across a $255 million US$ tranche and a South African Rand (ZAR) 3,246 million tranche. The terms of the
loan for the US$ and ZAR tranches carry an interest rate of 4.50% plus three-month SOFR and 4.50% plus three-month JIBAR, respectively.
Proceeds from the facility, which has been fully
drawn down, are expected to be used to fully repay the $430 million IHS Holding Limited term loan entered into in October 2022, and
that is due to mature in October 2025. The new financing is therefore expected to be leverage neutral to IHS Towers.
The Initial Mandated Lead Arranger, Coordinator
and Bookrunner of this transaction was Rand Merchant Bank, with continued support from IHS Towers’ key relationship banks.
This new term loan further enhances IHS Towers’
balance sheet in line with the company’s stated desire to extend its maturity profile and shift more of its debt into local currency.
