What qualifies on NGX.
NGX is a growth market whose single-stock volatility, free-float distribution and (in places) foreign-ownership limits weigh heavily on eligibility.
For any given NGX position, our review looks at: free float and daily traded volume against the size of the transaction; your status (controlling shareholder, director, substantial shareholder) and the disclosure that follows; the issuer’s sector and listing segment; and what the transaction must do (LTV, tenor, currency, recourse, custody).
Framework cited on NGX.
The principal regulatory reference on NGX is Substantial-shareholding and beneficial-ownership disclosure under the Investments and Securities Act and the NGX Rulebook. How it applies to any single transaction — reporting levels, step thresholds — turns on the underlying rules and national-law overlays, which we map against your contemplated transaction at the structuring stage alongside the counsel you appoint.
The citations above are public regulatory references, given for orientation only and not as legal advice. Take independent legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction for any specific transaction.
