A consortium of investors (AfricInvest, Amethis, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Proparco) acquired a majority stake in Netis, a major telecommunications infrastructure service provider operating in 15 African countries. Through its majority acquisition, the consortium aims to support the management’s ambitious growth strategy and contribute to Africa’s digital development, a key driver to the continent’s economic development and accessing global digital opportunities.

The Asafo & Co. team was led by partner Patrick Larrivé, who worked closely with associate Martin Van Box Som on the deal, and was supported by associates Zineb Benabdellah, Noor Rachid, Christy Komba-Malongo and Guy-Fabrice Holo for the due diligence aspects. The team also relied on support from our London and Nairobi offices.

Deloitte Maroc (Julien Leyrit) acted as the financial advisor of the investors.
