IHS Holding ( (IHS) ) just unveiled an update.
On February 5, 2026, IHS Holding Limited confirmed that it has been approached by MTN Group Limited regarding a potential acquisition of all the remaining shares in IHS Towers that MTN does not already own, following a cautionary announcement issued by MTN the same day. The company emphasized that discussions are ongoing, the proposal is non-binding, and there is no certainty that any transaction will be agreed or what its terms might be, signaling an early-stage strategic dialogue that, if it proceeds, could reshape IHS Towers’ ownership structure and further consolidate MTN’s position in emerging-markets telecommunications infrastructure, with potentially significant implications for IHS shareholders and regional tower markets.
