In this episode recorded on October 21, 2026, we sit down with Karimi Warui and Divine Olumese from Renaissance Capital to dissect how East African investors can access the Dangote Petroleum Refinery listing. We explore the structural architecture of inward GDRs, the pricing mechanics bridging the NGN 525 offer price and the KES 53.50 GDR price, dividend pass-through and voting rights for local investors, the refinery's transition from net debt to net cash in nine months, and how this GDR structure bypasses regulatory friction to create a template for future Pan-African cross-listings.
