Actually what they are doing is simply cashing out before Kibaki's term is over. They want to come into the bourse equity style. IMHO buyer beware coz most of their big deals have been solely due to their govt influence and the shareholding still looks like a billionaires club thus so secretive and are always afraid of uncertainty over their investments. Naturally a new govt is an unknown beast....

They are NOT raising cash [as I understand it] but plan to list the shares on NSE then let 'us' buy them... I will read the IM but probably give it a pass...

Yes, they are buying political insurance!

They are targeting a listing price of Ksh 2050. During their private placement a share was going for Ksh 712.

Often it's advised in every deal to determine the answer to this question - Who is making the money?

You see sometimes, it can be the buyer, other times the seller. In this case, the sellers will make the money.

A broker once asked me to purchase the share at 40/= OTC. While based on my rough calculation for 2009 P/E ~25 (non-listed co), top-line declined 15% and net-profit 60%.

If they're not raising cash for any investments / expansion of operations, I'd pass. Smacks of a cashing in / bailing out.
