NOTES TO THE COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

​

1.Basis of Preparation

​

The accompanying condensed financial statements of IHS Holding Limited (the “Parent”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of IHS Holding Limited and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Registrant”) included in Part I, Item 8 of the Annual Report. The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Parent have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule 1 of Regulation S-X.

The Parent’s accounting policies are consistent with those of the Registrant. In the Parent only financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less accumulated impairment losses, unless the investment is acquired with a view to its subsequent disposal and the criteria for classification as held-for-sale are met. Transaction fees are included in the acquisition cost. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the investment carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.

2.Long term debt

IHS Holding Limited Notes

On November 29, 2021, IHS Holding Limited issued $500.0 million 5.625% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $500.0 million 6.250% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”, and together with the 2026 Notes, the “IHS Holding Notes”), guaranteed by IHS Netherlands Holdco B.V., IHS Netherlands NG1 B.V., IHS Netherlands NG2 B.V., Nigeria Tower Interco B.V., IHS Nigeria Limited, IHS Towers NG Limited and INT Towers Limited.

​

On or after November 29, 2023, 2024 or 2025, the 2026 Notes may be redeemed (in whole or in part) by the IHS Holding Limited at a price of 102.81250%, 101.40625% and 100.00000%, respectively. On or after November 29, 2024, 2025 or 2026, the 2028 Notes may be redeemed by IHS Holding Limited (in whole or in part) at a price of 103.1250%, 101.5625% and 100.0000%, respectively.

​

​

​

IHS Holding (2022) Bullet Term Loan Facility

IHS Holding Limited entered into a $600.0 million term loan agreement in October 2022 (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “IHS Holding 2022 Term Loan”), between, amongst others, IHS Holding Limited as borrower, Citibank Europe plc, UK Branch as facility agent and certain financial institutions listed therein as original lenders. The loan is guaranteed by IHS Netherlands Holdco B.V., IHS Netherlands NG1 B.V., IHS Towers NG Limited, IHS Netherlands NG2 B.V., Nigeria Tower Interco B.V., INT Towers Limited and IHS Nigeria. Following the initial draw down under this facility of $370.0 million in November 2022, the available commitments were voluntarily reduced by $100.0 million in October 2023 and the availability period on the remaining balance of $130.0 million in available commitments was extended to April 2024 from October 2023. The interest rate per annum applicable to loans made under the IHS Holding 2022 Term Loan is equal to Term SOFR, a credit adjustment spread plus a margin of 3.75% per annum. The IHS Holding 2022 Term Loan is scheduled to terminate on the date falling 36 months from the date of the loan agreement and is repayable in full on that date.

In addition to the guarantees set out in note 22, “Borrowings”, IHS Holding Limited is a guarantor for the following:

IHS Côte d’Ivoire S.A. Facility

IHS Côte d’Ivoire S.A. entered into a credit agreement originally in June 2015 (as amended and/or restated from time to time, including in August 2017 and June 2022) with certain financial institutions, split into one tranche with a total commitment of €52.0 million (approximately $57.4 million) (the “CIV Euro Tranche”), and another tranche with a total commitment of XOF 44.6 billion (approximately $75.1 million) (the “CIV XOF Tranche” and, together with the CIV Euro Tranche, the “IHS Côte d’Ivoire S.A. Facility”). The IHS Côte d’Ivoire S.A. Facility is guaranteed by IHS Holding Limited. The CIV Euro Tranche has an interest rate of 3.00% plus 3 Month EURIBOR, (subject to a zero floor), and the CIV XOF Tranche has an interest rate of 5.00%. The IHS Côte d’Ivoire S.A. Facility contains customary information and negative covenants and requires IHS Côte d’Ivoire S.A. to observe certain customary affirmative covenants, subject to certain agreed exceptions and materiality carve-outs. The covenants include that IHS Côte d’Ivoire S.A. maintain specified net debt to EBITDA ratios and interest coverage ratios, each as defined therein.

IHS Zambia Limited Facility

IHS Zambia Limited entered into two facilities with a common terms agreement originally in December 2020 (as amended and/or restated from time to time, including in February 2021 and January 2023) with a total commitment of $95.0 million with certain financial institutions (the “Zambia Facility”), split into a facility for an aggregate commitment representing $75.0 million and a second facility for an aggregate commitment representing $20.0 million. The Zambia Facility is guaranteed by IHS Holding Limited, and was fully utilized as of March 2021. The Zambia Facility has an interest rate of 5.0% plus 3 Month Term SOFR and a credit adjustment spread ranging between 0.11% to 0.43% and contains customary information and negative covenants and requires IHS Zambia Limited to observe certain customary affirmative covenants, subject to certain agreed exceptions and materiality carve-outs. The covenants include that IHS Zambia Limited maintain specified net debt to EBITDA ratios and interest coverage ratios, each as defined in the agreement. The respective facilities will terminate in December 2027.

IHS Netherlands Holdco B.V. Notes

On each of September 18, 2019 and July 31, 2020, our wholly owned subsidiary, IHS Netherlands Holdco B.V. (“Holdco BV”), issued a total of $510.0 million 7.125% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), and $940.0 million 8.0% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) guaranteed by IHS Netherlands NG1 B.V., IHS Netherlands NG2 B.V., Nigeria Tower Interco B.V., IHS Nigeria, IHS Towers NG Limited and INT Towers, and (since June 22, 2021) IHS Holding Limited. On June 22, 2021, pursuant to a successful consent solicitation, Holdco B.V. also effected certain amendments to the indenture governing the notes to, among other things, expand the “restricted group” to encompass IHS Holding Limited and all of IHS Holding Limited’s subsidiaries (which would then be subject to the covenants and events of default under the indenture), and to make certain other consequential changes to the negative covenants and restrictions resulting from the larger group structure.

On November 30, 2021, the 2025 Notes were subsequently redeemed upon the successful issuance by IHS Holding of the IHS Holding Notes (as defined below). The 2027 Notes mature on September 18, 2027, and pay interest semi-annually, with the principal repayable in full on maturity. On or after September 18, 2023 or 2024, the 2027 Notes may be redeemed (in whole or in part) at a price of 102.000% and 100.000%, respectively.

The indenture contains customary negative covenants and restrictions, including, but not limited to, our ability to: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness and issue certain preferred stock; make certain restricted payments and investments, including dividends or other distributions; create or incur certain liens; enter into agreements that restrict the ability of restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends; transfer or sell certain assets; merge or consolidate with other entities and enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

IHS (Nigeria) Limited and INT Towers Limited

IHS Holding Limited signed a guarantee dated October 12, 2022, with IHS Holding Limited as guarantor and BP Oil International Limited as beneficiary, in relation to certain crude oil and/or petroleum product transactions entered into by IHS (Nigeria) Limited and INT Towers Limited.

Valuation of guarantees

The fair value of all guarantees was $2.4 million as at December 31, 2023 (2022: $Nil).
