What the record shows
- Exits, not capital raises. Airtel Money, MNT-Halan and Quickmart were all announced within nine days, and all three are fully secondary: existing owners sell and the companies receive nothing.
- Nigeria by volume, Dangote by value. Nigeria accounts for four of the nine entries, and the Dangote refinery IPO for about two-thirds of disclosed value.
- Counsel disclosure is thin. Four of nine entries have no named legal adviser yet. Meridian updates the record when prospectuses or firms confirm mandates.
Earlier listings on record
- GTCO US$105m international equity offering and London Stock Exchange listing
- Pick n Pay recapitalisation and Boxer listing (R8.5bn)
- Act Financial EGP1.04bn IPO and Bonyan EGP1.8bn IPO, Egypt
