Commencement of audit tender process

 

 

London and Lagos, 3 December 2025: Airtel Africa, a leading provider of
telecommunications and mobile money services, with a presence in 14 countries
across Africa, announces that it has commenced a formal independent
competitive tender process for the role of external auditor which will be
overseen by the Audit and Risk Committee.  A resolution to appoint the
successful firm will be proposed to the shareholders at the 2027 Annual
General Meeting, with the selected auditor expected to take office to perform
the Company's audit for the financial year ending 31 March 2028. The decision
to conduct the competitive audit tender earlier, aligns Airtel Africa with our
controlling shareholder, Bharti Airtel Limited, which is subject to mandatory
auditor rotation in India, and is not driven by any disagreement with the
incumbent auditors nor by any concerns over the quality of the audit.

A further announcement will be made following the conclusion of the tender
process in the coming months.
