洛尼·普林斯卢、姆邦格尼·姆古尼和埃里克·奥姆博克报道，文艺复兴资本首席执行官斯坦利·卡里乌基表示，东非投资者将通过全球存托凭证获得丹格特石油炼油和石化公司首次公开募股的机会，这是非洲迄今为止规模最大的IPO。
By Loni Prinsloo, Mbongeni Mguni and Eric Ombok East African investors will gain access to Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE’s initial public offering, Africa’s biggest to date, via global depositary receipts, Renaissance Capital Chief Executive Officer Stanley Kariuki said.
卡里乌基周二在肯尼亚首都内罗毕与投资者举行的IPO活动中表示，这些存托凭证将在内罗毕证券交易所交易，为当地投资者提供接触这家尼日利亚工业集团的机会。
The receipts will trade on the Nairobi Stock Exchange, providing investors there exposure to the Nigerian industrial conglomerate, he said at an event with investors about the IPO on Tuesday in Nairobi, the capital.
根据招股说明书中的细节，非洲首富阿里科·丹格特计划将其位于尼日利亚的炼油厂（全球最大的炼油厂之一）在拉各斯证券交易所上市，这将使该企业估值约为500亿美元。他希望通过此次IPO筹集高达21亿美元的资金。
Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, plans to list his Nigerian refinery, one of the world’s largest, on the Lagos bourse, which would value the business at about $50 billion, according to details from the prospectus. He seeks to raise as much as $2.1 billion from the IPO.
据知情人士透露，博茨瓦纳也在与标准银行集团有限公司和Access Bank Group Plc进行洽谈，以通过哈博罗内证券交易所的存托凭证获得此次上市的机会。
Botswana is also in talks with Standard Bank Group Ltd. and Access Bank Group Plc to gain access to the listing via depositary receipts via the exchange in Gaborone, according to people familiar with the matter.
上述部分知情人士表示，这一举措在博茨瓦纳最近于9月18日举办的伦敦日活动上得到了强调，该活动在英国举行并得到标准银行的支持，官员们表示丹格特存托凭证可以在首都哈博罗内的证券交易所上市。这些人士因洽谈属于私下进行而要求匿名。标准银行拒绝置评。
The initiative was highlighted during Botswana’s recent London Day on Sept. 18, hosted in the UK and supported by Standard Bank, with officials saying that Dangote depository receipts could be listed on the bourse in Gaborone, the capital, said some of the people, who declined to be identified because the talks are private. Standard Bank declined to comment.
博茨瓦纳证券交易所表示，其“正在与所有相关方就丹格特炼油厂IPO进行沟通，并就其他产品的结构设计以及博茨瓦纳投资者可能获得此次发行机会的潜在途径进行讨论”。据知情人士称，目前尚未达成最终协议，结构仍在讨论中。这些人士表示，所有交易均需获得当地监管机构的最终批准。
The Botswana bourse said it was “engaging with all the relevant parties regarding the Dangote Refinery IPO, and the structuring of other products and potential avenues through which investors in Botswana could access the offering.”No final agreements has been reached and the structure remains under discussion, according to the people. The deals are all subject to final local regulatory approvals, said the people.
南部非洲发展共同体证券交易所委员会（CoSSE）推荐博茨瓦纳证券交易所作为丹格特上市任何存托凭证的托管地。
The Committee of Southern African Development Community Stock Exchanges, or CoSSE, punted the Botswana bourse as the host of any receipts for the Dangote listing.
此次计划中的交易被视为丹格特实现其雄心壮志的重要一步，即通过首次公开募股（IPO）尽可能覆盖更多的非洲民众及海外侨民。此次公开发行定于10月13日结束。
The planned transactions are seen as a potentially significant step in Dangote’s ambitions to reach as many Africans and diaspora as possible with the IPO, with the public offering set to close on Oct. 13.
