MTN signs defini�ve agreements with Mastercard for a minority investment in
MTN Group Fintech
MTN yesterday, 5 February 2024, signed definitive agreements with Mastercard for a minority
investment of up to $200 million into MTN Group Fintech B.V. (the Transaction) at a valuation of
$5.2 billion on a cash and debt-free basis. The Transaction, which is non-categorised in terms of the

closing conditions.

These agreements complement the larger commercial relationship between the Group and
Mastercard to support the continued development and growth of technology and infrastructure to
drive financial inclusion across the African continent. This commercial relationship is a key enabler for
the acceleration of our fintech business’ payments and remittance services.

MTN will con�nue to explore opportuni�es for other value enhancing partnerships and investments,
subject to market condi�ons, with strategic partners and long-term investors.
