Airtel Africa completes the sale of its Madagascar unit to Helios

The telecom group Airtel Africa Plc announced on Wednesday 3 November that it has finalized the sale of its Madagascar-based telecommunications tower company to Helios Towers Plc. The cost of the transaction is estimated at $ 51.7 million.

Airtel Africa indicates that the proceeds of the transaction will be used to reduce the group’s external debt and to invest in network and sales infrastructure in Madagascar.

Under the terms of the transaction, Airtel Africa group subsidiaries will continue to develop, maintain and operate their equipment on the towers under separate lease agreements, largely in local currencies, with the Buyer.

The company also revealed that it has entered into “an exclusive memorandum of understanding” on the possibility of its tower assets in other African countries such as Chad and Gabon.
