MTN Ghana has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to buy back over one million shares of applicants, who failed to provide sufficient personal information to complete their Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements under the Initial Public Offer (IPO).
It will be recalled that shareholders of MTN Ghana at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on Thursday, December 3, 2020, gave the Company the approval to buy back shares of applicants with incomplete personal information at the IPO price of GH¢0.75.
A statement issued in Accra by Mr Robert Kuzoe, Acting Corporate Services Executive of MTN, said with the approval, all such applicants would receive a refund of their initial purchasing money and dividends accrued since the IPO.
