MTN to acquire IHS Towers (NYSE: IHS) in $6.2B all-cash deal
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
IHS Holding Limited has agreed to be acquired by MTN Group Limited for $8.50 per ordinary share in cash, valuing IHS Towers at an enterprise value of approximately $6.2 billion. The price reflects a premium of about 239% to the share price at the announcement of IHS’s strategic review on March 12, 2024, 36% to the 52-week volume-weighted average price, and 3% to the unaffected closing price of $8.23 on February 4, 2026. IHS’s board unanimously approved the merger agreement and will recommend that shareholders vote in favor. MTN and long-term shareholder Wendel have committed or indicated support, covering more than 40% of shares. The deal, expected to close in 2026, is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and certain financial conditions, including minimum cash on hand and completion of announced Latin American tower and fiber asset sales. After closing, IHS will be delisted and become a wholly owned MTN subsidiary.
Positive
- Large cash premium for shareholders: MTN will pay $8.50 per IHS share in cash, valuing the company at about $6.2 billion and delivering an approximate 239% premium to the share price at the start of IHS’s March 12, 2024 strategic review and 36% to the 52-week VWAP.
- Deal certainty supported by anchor holders and funding plan: IHS’s board unanimously approved the transaction, MTN and Wendel support or have agreed to vote more than 40% of shares in favor, and funding is structured through MTN’s equity rollover, about $1.1 billion of MTN cash, about $1.1 billion of IHS cash, and existing IHS debt.
Negative
- Execution risk from extensive conditions and required asset sales: Closing in 2026 depends on two-thirds shareholder approval, multiple regulatory and antitrust clearances, strict cash and debt conditions, and successful completion of announced Latin American tower and fiber divestitures, any of which could delay or jeopardize the transaction.
- Loss of public listing and liquidity: Upon completion, IHS’s ordinary shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and the company will become a wholly owned MTN subsidiary, eliminating ongoing public-market liquidity and upside participation for current minority shareholders after receiving the cash consideration.

Agreement and Plan of Merger
On February 17, 2026, IHS Holding Limited, an exempted company with limited liability registered by way of continuation in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MTN Group Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of South Africa (“Parent”), Mobile Telephone Networks (Netherlands) B.V., a company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (“Holdings”), and Sub-Merger Co, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (“Merger Sub”, and collectively with Holdings and Parent, the “Parent Parties”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein and in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “CICA”), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”).
The Company’s board of directors (the “Company Board”) has unanimously approved the entry into and the performance of the Merger Agreement, the plan of merger to be executed and delivered by the Company and Merger Sub under the CICA as provided by the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Plan of Merger”), and the Merger and the Transactions (as defined below) and recommended that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the authorization and approval (as applicable) of the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger, the Merger and the Transactions at the Company Shareholders Meeting (as defined below).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), by virtue of the Merger and the Transactions, and without any action on the part of the Company, the Parent Parties or the holders of any securities of the Company:
| ● | each ordinary share, par value $0.30 per share, of the Company (each, an “Ordinary Share” and collectively, the “Ordinary Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Ordinary Shares held in the Company’s treasury, owned by Parent or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) but excluding Holdings, or owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which will be treated in accordance with the Merger Agreement, (ii) Ordinary Shares held by shareholders of the Company who shall have validly exercised and perfected and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger, or dissenter rights, in accordance with Section 238 of the CICA, which will be treated in accordance with the Merger Agreement, and (iii) Ordinary Shares owned by Holdings immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Holdings Shares”)) will be cancelled, no longer be outstanding, and will automatically cease to exist and have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive $8.50 in cash per Ordinary Share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest thereon, payable in accordance with the Merger Agreement; and |
| ● | (i) each of the Holdings Shares shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger and (ii) each ordinary share, par value $1.00 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled, no longer issued and outstanding, and will automatically cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor. |
The Per Share Merger Consideration is expected to be financed with cash and debt facilities of Parent and its affiliates and with cash of the Company and its subsidiaries.
If the Merger is consummated, the Ordinary Shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Company will become a privately held company.

| ● | each restricted stock unit award relating to the Ordinary Shares (each, a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding and either vested but unsettled, or unvested, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether held by a current or former employee or other individual service provider of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries) shall, in each case, without any regard to vesting conditions, be fully accelerated and thereafter cancelled, with the holder of such Company RSU becoming entitled to receive at the Effective Time, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration and (ii) the total number of Ordinary Shares subject to such Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and |
| ● | each performance stock unit award relating to the Ordinary Shares (each, a “Company PSU”) that is outstanding and either vested but unsettled, or unvested, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether held by a current or former employee or other individual service provider of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries) shall, in each case, without any regard to any vesting conditions, be fully accelerated and thereafter cancelled, with the holder of such Company PSU becoming entitled to receive at the Effective Time, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration and (ii) the total number of Ordinary Shares subject to such Company PSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that, for purposes of determining the number of Ordinary Shares subject to each Company PSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time for purposes of Section 2.4(b) of the Merger Agreement, applicable performance goals will be deemed to be achieved with respect to each such Company PSU at maximum level of performance. |
Conditions to Closing
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the completion of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among others: (i) the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”), including the Merger, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (in person or by proxy) of the voting power of Ordinary Shares, voting together as a single class, entitled to vote and actually voting at the Company Shareholders Meeting (as defined below) (the “Company Shareholder Approval”); (ii) the accuracy of the parties’ respective representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement, subject to specified materiality qualifications; (iii) performance by the parties of their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement in all material respects; (iv) the absence of any law or order restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger (a “Legal Restraint”); (v) receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals under specified antitrust laws; (vi) the Company and its subsidiaries holding an amount of cash equal to $998,123,782 (subject to adjustment) to be applied towards the payment of consideration for the Merger (the “Required Cash Condition”); (vii) the Company’s operating cash amount being equal to or exceeding $355,000,000 (the “Minimum Operating Cash Condition”), which amount will be determined after deducting certain payments to be made by the Company in connection with the Transactions; (viii) the Company’s total gross indebtedness not exceeding specified amounts; and (ix) the absence of any fact, event, occurrence, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance, change, effect, event, development or other matter that, individually or in the aggregate, is or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition, business, assets, liabilities or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries or prevent, materially delay or impair the consummation by the Company of the Merger on or after the date of the Merger Agreement that is continuing as of the closing of the Merger. The completion of the Merger is not subject to any condition related to Parent’s ability to obtain financing. In addition to the foregoing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company’s ability to satisfy some of these requirements is dependent upon the successful completion of the sales of both its Latin American tower and fiber operations, announced on February 17, 2026, and February 11, 2026, respectively.
Non-Solicitation and Other Terms of the Merger Agreement
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, including, among others, covenants by the Company regarding the conduct of its business during the pendency of the Transactions and other matters.
The Merger Agreement contains customary non-solicitation restrictions prohibiting the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective representatives from soliciting alternative acquisition proposals from third parties or providing information to or participating in discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals, subject to customary exceptions relating to proposals that the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel constitute, or would reasonably be likely to lead to, a proposal by (a) a third party pursuant to which such third party would acquire, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Ordinary Shares (which threshold is determined in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement) or (b) a single third party pursuant to which such third party would acquire, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case, (i) on terms that the Company Board has determined in its good faith judgment would be more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s shareholders (other than the Parent Parties and their affiliates) than the Merger (taking into account all relevant factors, including the identity of the counterparty) and (ii) it has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Company Board in its good faith judgment that adequate arrangements have been made with respect to financing required to consummate such proposal (a “Superior Proposal”) and that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law.

February 17, 2026, London/New York: IHS Holding Limited, (NYSE: IHS) (“IHS Towers” or the “Company”), one of the largest independent owners, operators and developers of shared communications infrastructure in the world by tower count, has today announced that it has entered into a merger agreement (the “Agreement”) to be acquired by MTN Group Limited (“MTN”), a pan-African mobile operator, for $8.50 per ordinary share, in an all-cash transaction that values IHS Towers at an enterprise value of approximately $6.2 billion.
Under the terms of the Agreement, IHS Towers shareholders will receive $8.50 per ordinary share in cash, representing a premium of approximately 239% premium over IHS Towers’ share price at the announcement of the Company’s strategic review on March 12, 2024. It also represents a premium of approximately 36% to the 52-week volume-weighted average price as of February 4, 2026, and a premium of approximately 3% over IHS Towers’ unaffected closing share price of $8.23 on February 4, 2026, when public reports indicated that negotiations with MTN were ongoing. The transaction provides shareholders with an immediate and certain opportunity to realize the value generated since the announcement of the Company’s strategic review on March 12, 2024, which was initiated during a period of sustained geopolitical and macroeconomic volatility in key operating markets.
IHS Towers’ Board of Directors, has unanimously approved the Agreement and the transaction, and resolved to recommend approval of the Agreement and the transaction by IHS Towers’ shareholders.
MTN has agreed to vote all of its IHS shares in favor of the transaction, and long-term IHS Towers’ shareholder, Wendel, has also provided a letter of support to vote in favor of the transaction. With these two shareholders combined, more than 40% shareholder agreement or support has been secured for this proposed transaction to conclude. Upon completion of the transaction, IHS Towers’ ordinary shares will no longer be publicly listed, and IHS Towers will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MTN.
Sam Darwish, Chairman & CEO, IHS Towers, commented, “Today’s announcement creates a compelling opportunity that provides certainty and immediate returns for our shareholders, enabling them to crystallize the significant value generated during our strategic review. The proposed transaction deepens our long-standing partnership with MTN, as it combines Africa’s largest mobile network operator with one of its largest digital infrastructure platforms, and underscores the strong connection between IHS Towers and the African continent.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our colleagues, customers and partners for their support over the past 25 years, as IHS Towers has grown from a single tower in one market to an eleven-country portfolio of approximately 40,000 towers at its peak.”
Ralph Mupita, Group President and CEO, MTN, commented, “This proposed transaction is a pivotal step in further strengthening MTN Group’s strategic and financial position for a future where digital infrastructure will become ever more essential to Africa’s growth and development. This transaction gives us a unique opportunity to buy back our towers and strengthen our ability to be partners for progress to the nation states in which we operate.”
“For IHS customers and partners across the continent, we commit to continuing high standards of service and the right governance of what is the largest standalone and integrated tower company in Africa, enabled by the excellent people within IHS.”
The transaction is expected to close in 2026, and is subject to certain closing conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals. The transaction will be funded through the rollover of MTN’s existing approximately 24% fully diluted stake in IHS Towers, together with approximately $1.1 billion of cash from MTN, approximately $1.1 billion of cash from IHS Towers’ balance sheet, and the rollover of no more than the existing IHS Towers debt. The Company will also be required to have minimum cash of $355 million on balance sheet at closing. The Company’s ability to satisfy some of these requirements is dependent upon the successful completion of the sales of both its Latin American tower and fiber operations, announced on February 17, 2026, and February 11, 2026, respectively.
The foregoing description of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full terms of the Agreement, which IHS Towers will be filing on Form 6-K.
