FMDQ Securities Exchange Limited has announced the approval of the registration of the SKLD Integrated Services Limited ₦2 billion Commercial Paper (CP) Programme on its platform.
SKLD is an integrated corporate entity providing educational and office supplies, branded product distribution, technology, garment manufacturing and humanitarian aid procurement services through contracts, wholesale, retail and online channels.
This CP Programme which is sponsored by Coronation Merchant Bank Limited – a Registration Member (Quotations) of the Exchange, positions the Issuer to raise short-term finance from the Nigerian debt capital market (DCM) easily, through CP issues.
Speaking on the successful CP Programme registration, the Deputy Managing Director, SKLD Integrated, Tayo Osiyemi, stated, “the successful establishment of our ₦2 billion CP Programme confirms SKLD Integrated Services Limited’s ambition to harness the Nigerian capital market, in funding its operations and strategy.
We remain steadfast in our objective to unlock value for our stakeholders, while deepening penetration as a supplier of humanitarian relief materials and contract manufacturing for local fashion outfits and contractors.
“It also gives credence to SKLD’s belief in the Nigerian DCM and puts the Company in a position to broaden its potential funding sources and create superior value.
“We remain steadfast in our objective to unlock value for our stakeholders, while deepening penetration as a supplier of humanitarian relief materials and contract manufacturing for local fashion outfits and contractors. We look forward to a warm reception as we engage with capital market investors under this Programme.”
In line with its strategic objectives to support institutional growth and stimulate continuous development of the economy at large, FMDQ Exchange said it has remained steadfast in aligning the Nigerian DCM to international standards.
This is being done through the promotion and provision of a world-class quotation service, availing issuers and investors of the much-needed global visibility, confidence and protection in the markets.
FMDQ Group is Africa’s first vertically integrated financial market infrastructure (FMI) group, and operates Africa’s premier Green Exchange – FMDQ Green Exchange – positioned to lead the transition towards a sustainable future.
