You Bought Dangote IPO Shares. Now What? - A plain-English guide to the weeks and months after you subscribe: what happens next, what to watch, and how to decide before the noise starts.

You applied for shares in the Dangote refinery IPO. Now come the questions: When do I find out how many shares I got? When will my refund come? What happens on listing day? What should I be watching, and how do I decide whether to hold?

This 17-page PDF answers them in plain English, so you can make calm decisions and avoid expensive mistakes.

What’s inside

Your timeline. The published schedule from application close to allotment, refunds, CSCS crediting and trading, with what to do at each stage.

Check your allotment and refund, safely. Why you may get fewer shares than you applied for, how to check, and what never to do.

Your CSCS and broker accounts. What to confirm and what records to keep.

Listing day. What to expect, and the common mistakes to avoid.

Decide your plan before the noise. Your reason for buying, your time horizon and how much is too much.

What to watch in the company. Output, margins, results, expansion progress and dividends, with encouraging signs and warning signs.

What to watch outside the company. Oil and refining margins, the naira, interest rates, policy and lock-ups.

Red flags and scams. Fake allotment messages, “guaranteed profit” groups and a five-question scam test.

When people sell. Sound reasons versus poor ones, and how to write your own rules in advance.

Costs, tax, dividends and records.

Plus:

A 30-day, 90-day and 12-month checklist

A “My plan” worksheet and a “Signs tracker” you can write in

A glossary of the words you’ll hear
