Equity could need the funds to fund the new and growing businesses eg DRC. I prefer firms pay low dividends to Rights Issues.


Barclays pays high dividends and has never done a rights issue.
Same to Bamburi cement.

How would you compare the growth of Barclays vs Equity since Equity listed?

Bamburi is in a different industry and has a strong parent.
BAT is another high dividend payer but different industry and strong parent.

DTB has grown a lot ex-Kenya and the expansion has to be funded.
NIC seems to have stumbled.

Both have reduced the "size" of their Rights Issues. I think the last one DTB did was 1:8

Yes they pay peanuts compared to the funds received from shareholders through rights.

Kenya’s leading bank in terms of market capitalisation and customer numbers Equity Group has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Pan-Africa focused banking group Atlas Mara to acquire the latter’s banking operations in four African countries.

The transaction, which will be done through a share swap, will see Equity Bank acquire 62% of share of Banque Populaire du Rwanda Limited, 100% of African Banking Corporation (ABC ) in Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique.

Equity Bank said it expects to allot about 252.5 million new ordinary shares that represent about 6.27% of Equity’s issued shares equivalent to Sh 10.7 Billion.
