Congratulations to Africell Group on its successful capital markets debut with the issuance of a $300 million Eurobond. Gemcorp Capital has supported Africell’s growth and impact since 2017. In the past seven years, we have arranged over $200 million of loans for Africell across multiple financing facilities. This capital has helped Africell enter new markets, expand its network, and grow its subscriber base to almost 20 million subscribers. The success of this careful and focused strategy has today allowed Africell to join an elite group of African companies that have ascended to the global capital market. We are incredibly proud to have been part of this journey. Our long-term partnership with Africell demonstrates the very essence of Gemcorp Capital’s approach to emerging markets private credit investing: building long-term relationships with borrowers, providing tailored financing for growth in geographies that few other lenders understand, and delivering sustainable returns to our investors. Africell now operates in four dynamic markets across the continent: Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, The Gambia and Sierra Leone. We look forward to seeing Africell reach new heights and continue to drive digital access and connectivity for millions of people in Africa. The road ahead is full of opportunity! #Gemcorp #EmergingMarkets #Eurobonds #CapitalMarkets
