Airtel Uganda has launched its initial public offering (IPO) in a bid to raise UGX 800 billion.
According to its prospectus, the operator has fixed the price per share at UGX 100 and the minimum number of shares one can purchase is 2,500, meaning that one will need at least UGX 250,000 to apply.
The offer will close on 13 October and the results of the IPO will be announced on 30 October.
To apply for Airtel Uganda shares, you will need to have a Securities Central Depository (SCD) account. Airtel customers with a valid Ugandan National Identity Number (NIN) can apply for shares via the m-IPO platform.
