REKTRON GROUP INCORPORATED ANNOUNCES PROPOSED STRATEGIC ACQUISITION OF
MAJORITY STAKE IN AT GHANA, ANCHORING A PRESENCE IN GHANA'S
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SECTOR
Rektron Group Inc., in a strategic alliance with Afritel Ghana Ltd., plans to acquire a 60-per-cent majority equity stake in AT Ghana
Ltd. (formerly Airtel Tigo), one of Ghana's premier telecommunications providers. Afritel, a respected telecommunications firm in Ghana, is founded
by Nana Richmond Aggrey. Mr. Aggrey is a pioneering figure in Ghana's
telecommunication industry, co-founding Scancom Ghana Ltd. (Areeba), the first
GSM (global system for mobile communication) provider in Ghana, later acquired by
MTN Ghana. The acquisition signifies Rektron's diversification into the
telecommunications sector and highlights its dedication to propelling infrastructure
development, broadening connectivity and catalyzing digital advancement across
Africa.
AT Ghana is a telecommunication company, wholly owned by the government of
Ghana, that provides a broad spectrum of dynamic telecommunication services
including voice, data, mobile financial services and business connectivity solutions.
Guided by its core vision of "a better life for our customers," AT Ghana strives to foster
a more sustainable future by delivering next-generation products and services that
enable economic and social progress for its customers and stakeholders.
The acquisition of a majority interest in AT Ghana will align seamlessly with Rektron's
overarching infrastructure strategy of building resilient, connection-driven ecosystems
across critical sectors. With AT Ghana's proven capability and its position as a leading
mobile network operator in the country, serving over 2.3 million users, this investment
will accentuate the company's ability to generate stable cash flows and deliver long-term value. Moreover, the rapidly expanding digital landscape in Ghana presents
significant growth opportunities for advanced telecommunications services, financial
inclusion and digital connectivity solutions. By leveraging Rektron's strategic vision
and operational expertise, this partnership is poised to accelerate AT Ghana's
trajectory of sustainable growth, further strengthening its market leadership and
contributing meaningfully to the socio-economic development of Ghana.
The government of Ghana has expressed strong support for the acquisition,
recognizing its potential to bolster the country's telecommunications infrastructure and
digital economy.
"We are excited to take a significant stake in AT Ghana and appreciate the support of
the government of Ghana as we take a significant stake in AT Ghana. This aligns with
our global vision to advance major infrastructure initiatives, foster innovation and
deliver value to consumers throughout the region," said Atanas Kolarov, chief
executive officer of Rektron.
"This partnership marks a major milestone in our mission to advance
telecommunication services in Ghana. Through our strategic collaboration with
Rektron bringing global best practices, strategic investment and next-generation
infrastructure -- we will strengthen our mobile network, expand nationwide coverage and modernize service delivery. These improvements will enable us to drive down the
cost of mobile data while increasing speed, reliability and access. By making
affordable, high-quality connectivity available to customers across all regions --
including remote areas -- we will be empowering every Ghanaian to fully participate in
the digital economy and benefit from the opportunities it brings," said Mr. Aggrey, the founder and chairman of Afritel Ghana.
The company, Afritel and the government of Ghana entered in a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) on May 21, 2025, in respect of the acquisition, which is
expected to accelerate AT Ghana's growth by leveraging Rektron's financial strength
and Afritel's deep local expertise, ultimately benefiting millions of Ghanaian consumers
and business.
Conclusion of the acquisition remains subject to certain conditions, including the
completion of satisfactory due diligence, the finalization of financial terms and
conditions, execution of definitive documentation in respect of the acquisition, and the
receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. While the parties are working collaboratively
to a successful close, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be
consummated. The company will provide frequent updates with regard to the
acquisition.
