Shareholder forums will also hold in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja this month.
The issuing houses involved in the transaction are Stanbic IBTC Capital Limited as well as Joint Issuing Chapel Hill Advisory Partners Limited, which is serving as the Lead Issuing House to the bank; and FSDH Merchant Bank.
