Airtel Africa plc has reported an update on its issued share capital and total voting rights in line with the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1R.
The company stated that, as at the close of business on 31 December 2025, its issued share capital comprised 3,655,960,539 ordinary shares of USD 0.50 each, with each ordinary share carrying one vote. This total includes 7,489,044 ordinary shares held in treasury, which do not carry voting rights.
Airtel Africa confirmed that the total number of voting rights exercisable by shareholders, and which should be used as the denominator for determining notification obligations under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, stood at 3,648,391,495.
The variance of 7,569,044 shares between the issued share capital and the total voting rights was attributed to the 7,489,044 ordinary shares held in treasury and 80,000 shares from unsettled share purchases. The unsettled shares are expected to be cancelled in due course in accordance with the company’s ongoing share buyback programme announced on 22 September 2025.
