I think the increase in the No.of shares must have scared some investors although its not a factor since the management were categorical the unissued shares were not for a right issue,but for any future use which will be passed by shareholders in an AGM.
The most logical explanation will be Managers who were retrenched offloading their shares which I think are mostly options.This will also explain why KCB has been on the downward spiral during their restructuring period.
Equity Bank might be the reason behind this rationale given that some managers took it to court with claims that Equity undervalued their share options hence giving them peanuts after they were retrenched.
