Dangote Refinery secures $1 billion underwriting backing for planned IPO
The Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals has secured a $1 billion underwriting programme to support its upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO). The programme, structured by Marob Strategies and Consulting DIFC Ltd and Lilium Capital Group, consists of a completed $600 million private placement and a $400 million underwriting commitment that will become effective upon the IPO launch.
The $600 million private placement was funded by Pan-African Refinery Investment SPV, a subsidiary of Lilium Capital Group. Financial advisers are currently coordinating the distribution of participation across Africa and the Caribbean, targeting sovereign wealth funds, governments, and institutional investors.
Aliko Dangote, President and CEO of Dangote Industries Limited, stated that the transaction is a significant milestone for both the refinery and African capital markets. The refinery, which has a nameplate capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, is aiming for an IPO that could potentially raise up to $5 billion. The proceeds are expected to support the expansion of the refinery and petrochemical complex, with plans to eventually increase processing capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day.
