Go and read the information memorandum. The purpose was to re balance the debt:equity ratio so for the case of gqva part of the debt was retired by converting to equity for the rights issue. So if for example kengen owed gava sh.30bn post rights issue its now 10bn.
That gives kengen room to pay lower finance costs and get loans from JICA for new power plants to be built
I used to like kengen once upon a time. Then came the massive expansion plans using debt. mind boggling debt figures. that was the end for me. even this rights issue is to reduce debt so they can borrow more. i have an issue with too much (gross) debt. debt to equity ratio be damned I was attracted to kengen by a high dividend yield.I entered at kshs 6.80 which at the current dps of kshs 0.60 represents a dividend yield of 11%. That is if DPS is maintained at 0.6 after the dilution. highly unlikely. After dilution the yield at 6.55 should be about 3-4%. I hope u know That @Ebenyo. Just divide the dividend by 4. To estimate the new dividend. Assuming pay out ratio remains the same I have gone and read the IM

Debt is a beautiful thing when return on assets exceeds the interest paid on debt... Debt is also cheaper than equity in the long run as equity cannot be redeemed... With Kengen's asset base we should be seeing at least KES 20Bn PAT.. So waiting for that potential to be unlocked should be rewarding. Mark 12:29
Deuteronomy 4:16

It's in the Bible Not really that way.Im a long term investor.So i make decisions based on a company good fundamentals.During kengen IPO in 2006 the price was kshs 11.90.So somebody who boarded at that price and me who has entered at 6.80,clearly i have got it cheap.Kengen business of producing and selling electricity is also reliable in producing returns in the long run which will beat recent dillution.Im clearly not happy with huge debt to equity ratio which ofcourse makes the share price and profits volatile.As long as i will maintain my margin of safety by adding more at rock bottom prices,i will be fine.I will consider exit should there be problems in their ability to make profits and pay dividends.But over the last ten years they have been making profits and paying dividends.I trust that they will make more profits to compensate the recent dillution.Meanwhile i will take advantage of the dillution to get more shares at cheap price when they start flooding the market.So im comfortable for now.

With Kengen's asset base we should be seeing at least KES 20Bn PAT.. So waiting for that potential to be unlocked should be rewarding. I think the new Company's Act does [or will] allow for share buybacks. So yes, equity can be redeemed. Some firms issue/d Preference Equity/Shares. These too can be redeemed.

One thing goes wrong and the pack of cards comes crumbling down. even Kenol kobil was in the mix but has managed to claw itself out. Manageable debt is good. But when i hear a company is planning to take on 200bn to 1 trillion in debt to grow its assets. i RUN for the hills. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

@Aguy - Though TCL screwed over their Bondholders. The announcement today, also captured by BD, seems to indicate they paid the Bondholders, after 5 years, just 5% of their investment... in shares not cash! http://www.businessdaily...8/-/yoviea/-/index.html[Greedy when others are fearful.
