On February 17, 2026, IHS Holding Limited announced the entrance into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), by and among IHS Mauritius BR Limited, a private company organized under the laws of Mauritius ("Seller"), Latam Towers Infrastructure, LLC ("Buyer"), and, solely with respect to certain guarantee provisions, IHS Mauritius NG HoldCo Limited. Pursuant to the SPA, the Seller has agreed to sell to the Buyer all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in IHS Brasil - Cessão de Infraestruturas S.A., Centennial Towers Brasil Cooperatief U.A. (to the extent not dissolved prior to closing), and Centennial Towers Colombia S.A.S. (collectively, the "Acquired Companies"). The aggregate base purchase price under the SPA is R$3,550.00 million (approximately US$683.0 million), subject to adjustment for leakage and accrued interest at an annual rate which is the average of IPCA and CDI from July 1, 2026 through the closing. Approximately US$394 million of the purchase price will be paid by the Buyer from equity financing, while approximately US$289 million will be funded through debt financing to be raised at the level of IHS Brasil-Cessão de Infraestruturas S.A. The Buyer has received an equity commitment letter from an investment fund managed or advised by Macquarie Asset Management and a debt commitment letter from the debt financing sources, which commit the financing sources to provide the amounts necessary to fund the purchase price upon satisfaction of specified conditions. As part of the transaction, part of the consideration will be discharged through the repayment of the existing shareholder loan in the amount of approximately $200.0 million (plus accrued interest) owed by IHS Brasil - Cessão de Infraestruturas S.A.to IHS Holding Limited.

The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals, the accuracy of representations and warranties, the absence of any material adverse effect and a successful capital raise by one or more investment funds managed or advised by Macquarie Asset Management. The SPA may be terminated by either party if the closing has not occurred within six months of signing (automatically extended for an additional six months if the sole cause is the failure to receive regulatory approval), or if the other party breaches certain obligations. As an inducement for the Seller to enter into the SPA, an investment fund managed or advised by Macquarie Asset Management has delivered a limited guarantee in favor of the Seller guaranteeing certain obligations of the Buyer.

A copy of the press release announcing the transaction is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. A copy of the SPA is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. The foregoing description of the SPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SPA.
