The first listing ceremony for the multi-tranche bond issued in 2025 by leasing company Alios Finance Cameroon will take place on December 19, 2025, according to an official statement from the Central African Stock Exchange (Bvmac), based in Douala. On that date, the bonds will be officially admitted to trading on the unified CEMAC financial market.
The listing of the security on the CEMAC unified market offers a new investment opportunity for investors who were unable to subscribe during the July 2025 fundraising operation. They will be able to acquire the bonds offered for sale during trading sessions by holders seeking liquidity, helping deepen the secondary market.
The new multi-rate bond follows a 2023 issuance, which was then the second transaction of its kind in the sub-region after that of the State of Cameroon. As part of the 2025 issue, Alios Finance Cameroon raised just over CFA9 billion, against a target of CFA10 billion. Two coupon structures were offered: a 6% coupon for bonds with a three-year maturity and a 7% coupon for bonds with a five-year maturity, corresponding to 2028 and 2030 maturities.
Funding the 2028 strategy and refinancing existing debt
In the transaction information note, the leasing company said it aims to strengthen the competitiveness of its financing offer by stabilizing portfolio quality and risk indicators to consolidate its sector leadership. It said this strategy requires mobilizing resources through diversified, innovative, and adapted refinancing tools. As a result, the funds raised through the transaction will be fully allocated to Alios Finance Cameroon’s development strategy through 2028, including the refinancing of bonds issued under the “Alios Bridge To Bond 5.25% Gross 2025” operation. The resources raised therefore combine growth financing with active management of bond liabilities.
The market leader in leasing in Cameroon, Alios Finance has in recent years become a key player in the sub-regional capital market. The “Alios multi-tranche 6% and 7% 2025-2028-2030” bond represents the company’s ninth fundraising operation on the CEMAC financial and public securities markets. Before the 2025 issuance, Alios Finance Cameroon had already completed four private placements, four bond issues on the financial market, and one negotiable debt securities issuance on the BEAC money market.
