Good news for KenGen the Company which needs this cash. On the other hand, folks bought Rights Shares at 6.55 [opportunity cost] months ago. No dividend. That 6.55 could have earned interest for those months but...

It would not have made sense for the Pension Fund nor KenGen to buy from the market. KenGen wanted the cash. The Pension Fund ends up with shares worth more i.e. better to give the cash to KenGen to fund the business rather than simply "transfer" cash.

The Pension Fund can always buy more shares [& is likely to do so] from the market.


Not enough float in the market. They would have to buy out the 2,3,4 and 5th largest shareholders.

Does KenGen need more cash? KenGen should enter into a Convertible Debt arrangement that eventually leads to PIC owning 10-25% of KenGen. It helps KenGen reduce its debt:equity ratio.

PIC is looking at maximising it's return because the money they have invested is pensioner's money.
KENGEN wanted to achieve it's rights issue amount target and they've done that.Seems they were so much in need of the money.
PIC may either increase it's stake or reduce in the coming future.
As for convertible debt I don't think PIC has the muscle to fund the huge projects kengen is undertaking.That is why their projects its a G-G arrangement type.
Convertible debt in an african context is a way of finishing or killing a company.There is no good case study to talk about

The country’s largest power producing company, Kenya Electricity Generating (KenGen) Company has announced a 22 per cent drop in its half year profit before tax to Ksh 6.57 Billion compared to Ksh 8.4 billion posted in the same period in 2015.

The huge drop was as a result of declined total revenue which fell to Ksh 17.739 billion from Ksh 20 Billion in 2015 on lower revenue from steam and commercial drilling services.

Positive cash position as at reporting date 6.55B

Massaging of profits for the rights in 2015 clear. There was no disclosure then that 1.6B of steam revenue was revenue in arrears

I am an investor in Kengen. 35% of my portfolio to be exact.

I am happy with the positive cash position and that electricity revenue remains stable.

Isn't it obvious that an exceptional item "steam revenue" was recognised in 2015 but the company didn't bother to disclose that part of the revenue was earned in arrears?
