Mabeo says the prospectus will be out before end of 2015

Exactly 352 million shares of the Botswana Telecommunications Corporations Limited (BTCL) will be available for sale to Batswana at P1 each under the country’s pioneering privatisation issue.

In a notice published yesterday, the Public Enterprises Evaluation and Privatisation Agency (PEEPA) said it has valued BTCL at P800 million with its shares split into 800 million units valued at P1 each. Government plans to offer 44 percent of its BTCL shareholding to citizens and citizen-owned companies via an Initial Public Offer (IPO), retaining 51 percent and committing five percent to citizen workers.

This will translate to government retaining 408 million shares while 40 million have been reserved for the citizen workers of BTCL and 352 million available for Batswana.
