Explanatory Note
Pursuant to Section 191 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020, as amended ('CAMA 2020') the Directors are empowered to establish a Debt Issuance Programme for the Bank, which will enable the Bank to issue various classes of debt instruments-including but not limited to senior unsecured or secured notes, subordinated instruments, convertible or preferred securities, equity-linked notes, or other forms of debt obligations-in series or tranches, as may be deemed appropriate by the Directors. Establishing the Programme will provide the Bank with the strategic flexibility to access capital in a timely and cost-efficient manner to support its operational and strategic objectives, meet regulatory capital requirements, and align the Bank with market practices adopted by institutions that routinely access the debt capital markets.
The Programme will be implemented subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including those of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Nigerian Exchange Limited (where applicable), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other relevant regulatory bodies. The Directors will determine the specific terms and conditions applicable to each issuance under the Programme-including the amount, tenor, coupon or interest rate, pricing, security (where applicable), and timing - taking into account market realities and the Bank's capital requirements at the relevant time.
We urge you to vote in support of the motion to approve the Debt Programme.
