According to a stock filing, one of the largest national financial institutions is supporting the proposed acquisition by providing debt structuring advisory and arrangement services.
The Consortium is a synergistic partnership between TPL RMC and TASC with a vision to strengthen Pakistan’s digital infrastructure and support the rapidly growing digital economy, read the stock filing.
