Loan to shareholder
Previously, certain legal claims were made against MTN Dubai and Scancom Limited (MTN Ghana) by two previous MTN Ghana shareholders; claiming
beneficial title to a portion of the shares in MTN Ghana. As a result of this, an agreement was reached between M1 Limited (M1) and MTN Dubai that
they will share the cost of settlement of these claims. During the prior year a loan was granted to M1 in respect of their share of these costs which was
paid by MTN on their behalf.
This loan has fixed repayments and is interest free. The balance of this loan as at year-end is as follows |
