Airtel Africa's shares surged over 16% following Bharti Airtel's announcement of a planned reorganization of its subsidiary holdings, including Airtel Africa. The reorganization may involve consolidating or acquiring shares of subsidiaries, potentially through issuing equity shares or cash payments.
