Commencement of audit tender process

London and Lagos, 3 December 2025: Airtel Africa, a leading provider of telecommunications and mobile money services, with a presence in 14 countries across Africa, announces that it has commenced a formal independent competitive tender process for the role of external auditor which will be overseen by the Audit and Risk Committee.  A resolution to appoint the successful firm will be proposed to the shareholders at the 2027 Annual General Meeting, with the selected auditor expected to take office to perform the Company's audit for the financial year ending 31 March 2028. The decision to conduct the competitive audit tender earlier, aligns Airtel Africa with our controlling shareholder, Bharti Airtel Limited, which is subject to mandatory auditor rotation in India, and is not driven by any disagreement with the incumbent auditors nor by any concerns over the quality of the audit.

A further announcement will be made following the conclusion of the tender process in the coming months.
