MTN IHS Towers $6.2 Billion Buyout Clears Shareholder Vote With H2 2026 Close Expected
IHS Towers shareholders approved MTN's $6.2 billion acquisition at an August 4 extraordinary general meeting, and Nigeria's FCCPC has granted conditional approval requiring a sell-down of up to 30% of IHS Nigeria to local investors. Divestitures of Latin American operations and I-Systems are complete, and MTN reports financing is in place, but closing remains subject to additional regulatory approvals still underway. Both companies have guided for a second-half 2026 close, though no closing announcement had been made as of early September 2026.
