Quote:Stanbic Bank Kenya CFC • 72.00 and Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) were among the biggest beneficiaries of the Sh14.1 billion that UK’s sovereign wealth fund CDC Group injected into cement manufacturer ARM last year for a 40.6 per cent stake.
Mediocre reporting. To a bank early payment of a loan is not a benefit. It's a disaster.
Atleast better than a default...
You are intelligent.. People have been hard coded to see the negative in every situation instead of the positive
As an investor in Stanbic, I would have preferred that all the money from CDC go into the core business of ARM, strengthening the business and ensuring a stream of interest income.
If I was a minority shareholder in ARM, I would be disappointed by the dilution by CDC. Equity is dilutive and the cost of equity is also higher than cost of debt.
Life is short. Live passionately.
