\"\u25aa\" Admits NSP-SPV PowerCorp PLC \u20a650.00 Billion Green Bond Issuance Programme on its Platform\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Globally, the green bond market has shown exponential growth as corporate entities and governments are raising funds from the debt capital markets (DCM) to finance environmentally friendly projects to support the development of their countries. FMDQ Securities Exchange Limited (\u201cFMDQ Exchange\u201d or \u201cthe Exchange\u201d), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMDQ Group, in furtherance of its commitment to enhancing access to capital to address environmental challenges, as well as championing development in the Nigerian DCM, welcomed the listing of the NSP-SPV PowerCorp PLC \u20a66.33 billion Fixed Rate Series 2 Senior Unsecured Green Bonds (the \u201cGreen Bond\u201d) under its \u20a650.00 billion bond Issuance Programme<\/strong> to its platform, following the approval of its Board Listings and Markets Committee. The proceeds from this issuance will be used to fund the development of the 15MW Pre-Phase 1 Solar Project and the transmission evacuation infrastructure for NSP PowerCorp PLC\u2019s Solar Project, further fuelling the development of power in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the successful issuance of the Bond, the Executive Vice Chairman\/Chief Executive Officer, North South Power Company Limited (\u201cNorth South Power\u201d), Engr. Olubunmi Peters, stated that \u201cthis landmark transaction reinforces our belief and commitment in promoting clean energy generation in Nigeria. It also demonstrates growing investor confidence in our business, management team, and long-term strategy. We remain committed to unlocking opportunities within the power and infrastructure industry and promoting a sustainable energy solution for Nigeria. We thank the Lead Issuing House, Stanbic IBTC Capital Limited, as well as the Joint Issuing Houses on the transaction \u2013 Renaissance Securities Limited, AVA Capital Partners Limited, CardinalStone Partners Limited, EAC Advisory Limited, Rand Merchant Bank Nigeria Limited, and Vetiva Capital Management Limited for their hard work and commitment in ensuring a successful outcome. We also thank all other professional parties, the technical consultants \u2013 TUV Nord Cert, Financial Sector Deepening Africa (\u201cFSD Africa\u201d), Climate Bonds Initiative (\u201cCBI\u201d) and the FMDQ Nigerian Green Bond Market Development Programme. We also thank FMDQ Exchange<\/a> and the Securities and Exchange Commission for their relentless support through the entire issuance process\u201d.<\/p>\n

Also, the Chief Executive Officer, Stanbic IBTC Capital Limited (the Sponsor of the Bond on the Exchange and a Registration Member Listings of FMDQ Exchange), Mr. Funso Akere commented, \u201cwe are delighted to have advised on this landmark issuance which reflects the depth and diversity of the Nigerian DCM. The success of the transaction demonstrates investors\u2019 confidence in North-South Power, its sector, people, and strategic direction. Stanbic IBTC Capital Limited is also extremely grateful to have been given this opportunity by North-South Power to add yet another successful green bond issuance to its stable. The promotion of the three pillars of sustainability, that is social equity, economic viability and environmental protection are one we keep dear to our core strategy and values, as members of Standard Bank Group\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian Green Bond Market Development Programme (\u201cNGBMDP\u201d or the \u201cProgramme\u201d), which provided technical support for the NSP-SPV PowerCorp PLC Series 2 Green Bond, by facilitating crucial engagements between the parties to the transaction and selecting technical Consultants for the verification of the Green Bond, was launched in 2018, to create awareness and drive education required to integrate the principles of green financing into the Nigerian DCM, as a partnership between FMDQ Group, CBI and FSD Africa.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive Officer, FMDQ Group<\/a>, Mr. Bola Onadele. Koko stated that \u201cFMDQ is proud to have supported the NSP-SPV PowerCorp PLC Series 2 Green Bond through the Nigerian Green Bond Market Development Programme. As the local partner to the Programme, FMDQ provided support by selecting Consultants for the verification and credit rating assessment of the Green Bond, which was executed within a remarkable timeline of estimated two (2) weeks. This transaction further proves that the Programme\u2019s efforts toward developing a vibrant green bond market are gaining traction as more corporates and subnationals are beginning to explore green debt financing opportunities to raise capital towards pipelines of eligible projects. Once again, we congratulate the Board and Management of North South Power and reiterate our commitment to work with our stakeholders to develop the Nigerian green bond market\u201d.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, one of the implementing partners to the Programme, the Director, Capital Markets, FSD Africa, Dr. EvansOsano, commented that \u201cFSD Africa is proud to have worked with North South Power on this green bond issuance in Nigeria.
