Britam pays off Sh6.25bn bond ahead of maturity


Insurance group Britam Holdings has redeemed its corporate bond nine months ahead of its expected maturity date of July 15, 2019, paying investors, including Equity Bank

and Commercial Bank of Africa, a total of Sh6.25 billion.

The amount paid comprised the principal of Sh6 billion and interest of Sh255 million that had accrued since the last interest payment date of July 16, 2018.

Equity was the biggest investor in the insurerā€™s bond which had a fixed interest rate of 13 per cent per annum.

The bank bought bonds with a face value of Sh1.2 billion. It was followed by Commercial Bank of Africa (Sh410.4 million), Family Bank (Sh410.4 million) and Chase Bank (Sh164.1 million).

The bond also attracted local high-net-worth individuals who invested some Sh348.6 million in the securities.

Britam paid the principal and interest to bondholders who were on record as of October 4, 2018. Early redemption of the debt was made possible by the receipt of a Sh5.7 billion equity investment from private equity fund AfricInvest, which was allotted a 14.3 per cent stake in the insurer.

Britamā€™s borrowings, which stood at Sh8.5 billion in June, are expected to decline significantly following the retirement of the bond. The insurer will also save some Sh780 million in annual interest expenses that it used to pay the bondholders.

Cash-rich Britam retires Sh6 billion bond

Britam

will save hundreds of millions of shillings in interest payments after it retired early its Sh6 billion corporate bond, reflecting the firms increased cash flow.

The firm borrowed the Sh6 billion in 2014 and was to repay the facility on July 15 next year, shortening the period for paying interest that amounted to Sh780 million annually.

The repayment comes months after the firm, which has insurance, asset management and property development businesses, received Sh5.7 billion from a private Equity Fund AfricInvest for the sale of new shares.

Britam Chief Executive Benson Wairegi said the firmā€™s board decided to retire the five-year bond, which attracted an interest rate of 13 per cent because the investments made from the cash were generating attractive returns.

ā€œWe have a healthy balance sheet and a strong financial position. Investments conducted using the bondā€™s proceeds are also earning us handsome returns and this informed our decision to redeem the bond issued in June 2014,ā€ he said.

Britam used the funds for expansion in Kenya and the region, property development and investment in private equity, especially at the Nairobi Securities Exchange.


Britam acquired Sh10 billion land for property investments including office blocks, serviced apartments and malls.

The insurer also operates in Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda and Mozambique.

ā€œThe early redemption of the notes is subject to the consent of noteholders and the timelines for the payment will be announced once this consent has been obtained,ā€ the firm said in a notice.

The firmā€™s shareholder funds rose 27 per cent to Sh28.6 billion in the six months to June amounting to an extra Sh9.6 billion during the period.

The firm owns shares in NSE companies including Equity Bank and Housing Finance.

Britam wants to go big in the booming property sector and reduce its reliance on the insurance business, which accounts for most of its earnings, and the equities market.

Deep pockets taking advantage of bear to mop up and increae their holdings.

a.k.a averaging down kamikaze style Laughing out loudly

Quote:
AfricInvest has increased its stake at Britam Holdings to 16.26 per cent, after acquiring 49.3 million shares worth Ksh450 million.

Last year, the private equity firm bought 360.8 million new shares from the underwriter at Ksh5.7 billion.

The aggressive buying spree means that AfricInvestā€™s total investment at Britam stands at Ksh6.2 billion.


Meaning when bull run returns there'll be less liquidity (since they are unlikely to sell) and faster price appreciation.

Those ones are not in a hurry to offload. In fact, if I can recall they were legally locked in for a couple of years after the AfricInvest deal went through. They are mandated to hold a combined stake (don't remember the specific percentage).

Can someone help me understand? Africinvest took a bath on their initial investment, but have invested more cash...an approx 10% increase after a 20%_30% drop in their initial 2018 investment?

Britam founders cede control in Mbaru deal
https://www.businessdail...78382-36u3lr/index.html

Swiss Re, International Finance Corporation (IFC) and private equity firm Africinvest now hold a combined 40.79 percent stake in Britam compared to the 39.2 percent equity held by the founders, including Mr Mbaru, Peter Munga, Benson Wairegi and James Mwangi.

Is it just a matter of time until SwissRe+IFC+Africinvest end up with 50%+1? A Rights Issue should do the trick given many retail investors may shy away. Mbaru has been exiting his position as well

https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/news/Britam-writes-off--HF-investment/539546-5144344-10vileq/index.html
Listed insurer Britam has written off another Sh1.57 billion from its investment in mortgage lender HF Group, raising the booked losses from the investment to Sh3.7 billion in the last three years.

Britam said in its 2018 annual report that its financial performance had been affected by both the HF impairment and the general decline in the market last year, which also hit other equity investments.

The impairment indicates that Britamā€™s management has little faith in the ability of the bankā€™s stock to rebound to its previous levels.

HF will be better off not being in Britam's stable BUT who would want HF in its current state?

NIC-CBA-Jamii
KCB-NBK-Imperial
SBM-Chase

Unless there is a foreign buyer looking for an entry into Kenya and sees HF as a potential rebranding opportunity. The problem of buying a listed firm, and not de-listing, is dealing with many shareholders when one needs to conduct a capital raise.
