The Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development is set to raise its stake in Serena Hotels (TPS Eastern Africa) to 64.36% through the acquisition of new shares in the business via a debt to equity conversion.
The fund nevertheless does not intend to acquire minority shareholders after the transaction and has applied to the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) to be exempted from takeover regulations.
The Fund believes that the conversion is key in ensuring long-term sustainability and growth of the hotel chain going forward
