Airtel Africa Plc has provided an update on its total voting rights and issued share capital, reporting a total of 3,661,053,666 voting rights as of 30 May 2025. The disclosure aligns with the requirements under the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1R.
The company’s issued share capital comprises 3,668,992,710 ordinary shares of USD 0.50 each. This includes 7,489,044 shares held in Treasury, which do not carry voting rights.
The difference of 7,939,044 shares between issued shares and total voting rights arises from the Treasury shares and 450,000 unsettled share purchases yet to be cancelled as part of Airtel Africa’s share buyback programme, launched on 14 May 2025.
Investors and shareholders are advised to use the updated figure of 3.66 billion voting rights as the denominator when assessing whether to notify changes in their shareholding under FCA transparency rules.
For further details, enquiries may be directed to Group Company Secretary Simon O’Hara or Airtel Africa’s Investor Relations lead, Alastair Jones.
