<\/div>

Global Credit Rating Company Limited (GCR Ratings) is very pleased to announce the acquisition of a 65% shareholding in West Africa Rating Agency S.A. (WARA), a Senegal domiciled and Francophone Africa focused Credit Rating Agency (CRA). The acquisition supports GCR\u2019s strategic objective to continue to develop its Pan-African reach as Africa\u2019s leading CRA. WARA is an independent CRA registered with the Financial Markets Authority of the West African Monetary Union (AMF-UMOA). It has been in operation since 2012 and provides credit rating services across the Francophone Africa region, and across the full spectrum of sectors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The acquisition of WARA provides GCR with an opportunity to build on WARA\u2019s success, leveraging their experienced management and analytical team to continue to grow GCR\u2019s presence across Africa, in particular in the Francophone region. In announcing the acquisition, Marc Joffe, Chief Executive of GCR Ratings, said, “GCR is delighted to partner with WARA, an established CRA that brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in the Francophone Africa region. We believe the combination of GCR\u2019s 24-year track record, strong pan-African knowledge and focus on analytical excellence, coupled with WARA\u2019s dynamic management and operational team positions the company well for the next phase of growth and capital market development. We also wish to recognise the immense contribution of WARA\u2019s co-founder, Mr Seydina Tandian, who sadly passed away in 2018, and whose vision aligns to GCR.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenting on the acquisition, Olivier Beroud, Chairman of GCR Ratings, said, \u201cWARA is a highly regarded credit rating agency that is well-positioned to benefit from the strong secular growth in demand for credit ratings across Francophone Africa. WARA has played a critical role in deepening capital markets and generating high quality credit research. We look forward to working with WARA management to continue to develop and broaden the company\u2019s service offerings in French-speaking Africa.\u201d Anouar Hassoune the Managing Director of WARA, commenting on the acquisition, said, \u201cWARA warmly welcomes GCR as its controlling shareholder. We are happy to bring to the GCR Group our strong knowledge of Francophone Africa, where our coverage expands across the 8 West African Monetary and Economic Union (WAEMU) countries. With WARA, the GCR Group now covers 30 of the 54 African markets. Looking ahead, WARA will be a key component of the GCR Group\u2019s expansion into other Francophone countries as the culture of credit ratings continues to gain momentum in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
