Last time member traded 100M+ shares was back in May 2014. This must be a block cross trade; someone exiting and someone taking up that seat.

I hardly doubt it. Market has slowed down and stock is bound for dilution after rights issue which i dont think they want to take up. Best time to exit and move it other fast growing companies like Wananchi Group

When is the Rights Issue expected? JM should pull another smart move like he did with Helios & do a Private Placement [at the market price] without the drama & cost of a Rights Issue. The end result is the same.

Equity gets the cash it needs without a 'discount' since the shares are sold at market.
Current shareholders afraid of 'dilution' can buy the shares they want on the NSE.
On the other hand, Equity can gain publicity from the Rights Issue but that benefits some shareholders vs Equity the Firm.
