EABL lost the plot when they sold off 20% of TBL for a pittance and then paid 3x that for 20% of KBL. They took on debt to finance the acquisition of 20% of KBL. Then more debt to buy Serengeti Breweries.

Multinational brewer Diageo is set to walk away with approximately Sh1.78 billion from the special dividends that its subsidiary East African Breweries Limited (EABL) has declared from the sale of its glass-making business.

The regional brewer has announced a special payout of Sh4.50 per share that will see Diageo, which owns 50.03 per cent of the brewer (395.6 million of the firm’s issued shares) get a tidy payout.

EABL sold off Central Glass Industries (CGI) to South Africa’s Consol Glass in September for Sh4.5 billion.

The beer maker had initially told its shareholders that the money would go towards reducing existing debt and investing in its core business.

What's the cut-off for owning the shares to get the pay out?

I prefer EABL paying down the debt during these uncertain times...
