Nothing that we haven't heard/read about in the press before. A.Chami doing his thing, as usual. Directors painting positive picture about the future despite Covid-19 impact. Not the kind of doom-and-gloom vibe we're used to hearing from @Williamson Tea BoD.
Directors have hinted maintaining the company dividend policy. They projecting a bright future. They forsee increased pressure though in primary markets but believe coy is well positioned to fight for pole position, particularly in secondary market.

Seems there a lot of guys who want to be directors of the company with only three vacancies. Some of them well over 70 years.

The dividend needs to be hiked, it's being on a downward trend

With regards to the Treasury demand that state corporations surrender all excess cash, where did that leave Kenya RE?

Kenya Re doesn't receive funding from treasury.
What companies that don't receive funding from treasury did was to hike dividend.

Kenya Re is 60% owned by GoK.
It would be wrong (not sure about the constitutional/legal aspect) of GoK to expropriate 100% of cash/bonds held by Kenya Re.

The appropriate method would be to ask Kenya Re to pay out a dividend from "excess reserves", if any, to ALL shareholders.

The "special" dividend should not starve Kenya Re of reserves it needs to continue growing or cause any financial difficulty.

GoK will get:
- 60% of the total dividend
- W/Tax from the other 40%

If Kenya Re doesn't have the cash to pay GoK the 60% then it can always, if agreed beforehand, transfer the equivalent, at a fair/market valuation, in T-Bills and T-Bonds.

The rich Indians from Kisumu or government though the process may take time to conclude.

Part of the proceeds may also be used to put up their new commercial building (twin towers) in Upper Hill

There are many rich Luos who can buy it. Applause

Using the proceeds to build a new commercial building in Upper Hill, in the near future, would be STUPID and CRIMINAL. Shame on you

The proceeds should be invested in the stock market if the prices remain low. The best is to pay out a dividend. Next best is a share buyback.

I said part of the proceeds.Kenya Re will soon move it's head offices out of Reinsurance plaza since demand for office space by Judiciary is growing.
Several properties have been disposed off in the past and no special dividend given out,so I don't expect a change with this one.
Share buyback means a company has run out of ideas on how to invest it's money.It's better they even use the money to make an acquisition/buy a stake in a reinsurance company in Africa that would yield returns.
If the shares they buy are able to give a cash return in terms of dividends equal to the rent they are getting from the property,then that would be considered a good bet.

There is 18,000sf of vacant space in Kenya Re Towers. There are vacancies in Anniversary Towers too. Or they can rent from any of the MANY buildings in Upper Hill with large vacancies while reinvesting the money in higher yielding investments.

Agreed. Kenya Re is no ScanGroup re: dividends

Some firms, even with challenges, give 3-8% Dividend Yields with potential for substantial growth in future dividends and capital gains. Much better than offices in the near future.

The cost of the new building was estimated at 6bn which means the other 5bn+ would be pulled from high-yielding (default-free, no management risk) T-Bonds.

Britam Tower. Largely vacant.
UAP Tower. Huge vacancies.
Prism.
I&M Tower. Corporate offices moving to Parklands.

There are many others.

There are advantages in having your head offices in the building you own.
I am yet to see a company that owns a commercial building,rents it out then decided to be a tenant in a building owned by a different entity/individual.

In 2016, for example, Beer maker East African Breweries sold its Ruaraka-based headquarters to Tembo Sacco, a 2,400-member savings and credit cooperative society made up of its current and former staff, in a Sh675 million lease-back deal.

Longhorn Publishers is also seeking to sell its Sh500 million headquarters on Funzi Road in Nairobi’s Industrial Area. According to the company, the sale is informed by the need to increase investments in more high-return publishing fields.
