C&I Leasing Plc, has announced the successful conclusion of its third Commercial Paper (CP) series, further solidifying its position in Nigeria’s financial markets.

In a statement, it was noted that the latest N5 billion issuance was oversubscribed by 100 percent, demonstrating strong investor confidence in the company.

The Group Managing Director, Lenin Ugoji, pointed out that the 200 percent subscription for the company’s Commercial Paper issuance was rooted largely in improved operational efficiency.

“This success can be attributed to enhanced operational efficiency, heightened business transparency, and robust foreign exchange gains, resulting in a notable 9 percent increase in Headline revenues, despite challenging economic conditions,” Ugoji said.

The statement said the most recent Commercial Paper (CP) series, part of C&I Leasing’s N50 billion CP programme 3rd Series registered in 2022, was successfully secured at a competitive rate of 17.05 percent per annum for 270 days.

This achievement reflects the company’s robust financial health and its ability to attract favourable financing terms.

This follows the successful completion of the first and second series, launched in September and December 2022 respectively, with full repayment of the N3 billion and N2.4 billion raised.
