KCB is more of a bluechip company but it missed its target by 3 billion; its hard to see a parastatal raising 9.5 billion. Foreigners especially are likely to shun it coz of mzungu 'swamp of corruption' sentiment.
Anyone who oversubscribed to KCB got full allocation, i expect the same thing will happen with KPLC. Welcome to the game @Bmisoka K.PL.C and K.C.B are completely different.. Speaking from very credible sources.. The interest in the K.P.L.C rights is very high.. I mean today they even traded higher than the actual share on the market...  Plus there are only 7000 shareholders as opposed to K.C.B's hundreds of thousands... I don't think any of these will be willing to sell their rights at less than they are currently asking for(4-6)... And i also believe that G.O.K rights have already been pre sold to the big boys all we need to see are the trades... So I wonder where guys interested in this rights issue but aint shareholders will find these rights... Certainly not from me, @VVS, @2012, and the rest on wazua We certainly hope we can find them from somewhere. fingers crossed. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Umekunywa changaa ya @YBC? lol! wonder why guys would think 9.5B is hard to raise with the high liquidity in the market! Kwanza a firm in the energy sector, with absolutely no competitor! Surely that drink must be stronger than changaa! @SufficientlyP

I note that this is your maiden post, so I think congratulations are in order. KCB and KPLC have different dynamics e.g. KCB's was the 3rd rights issue within this decade. Not so for KPLC. In KCB's case investors were somewhat leery or jaded with the constant cries/appeals for more money from the Board/Mgt and some folks felt that they did not have too much to show for it. I happen to have taken a contrary position but that's not the point. 9.5 Billion is not exactly a lot of money these days, so we will not even need foreigners to mop the whole issue up. Both KenGen's IPO and their PIBO raised close to 30B which shows you money is there. All it requires is for investors to be convinced they can make money. 9.5 billion IS a lot of money these days (people are conservative after the 2008/9 downturn, unlike the euphoria / hysteria b4). Kengen's PIBO was a bond, meaning guaranteed returns (meaning conservative institutions banks insurance companies could buy heavily into it), yet it still had to be sweetened - 12.5% coupon, tax free. With the NSE in a bear run - down 250 points (5.5%) in november - who will apply for the govt's share of the rights (worth 6.65 B). If you count out foreigners, and banks which prefer bonds and giving loans, centum which prefers real estate of late, pesa itatoka wapi?

If you count out foreigners, and banks which prefer bonds and giving loans, centum which prefers real estate of late, pesa itatoka wapi? am willing to buy your rights off market! BTW,6.65B is a drop in the ocean and Banks and Foreign investor don't even need to take the plunge for the rights issue to be successful. As we speak, the big players are already in the loop, my brother, just keep checking the market, late next week and early next week but one, you'll see some heavy trading. If only you saw what am seeing! And please, don't compare KPLC with KCB again! @SufficientlyP

LOL... @sean-g Centum has underwritten 10% of the Offer. So please do some research before throwing out your lies on this forum! ["centum which prefers real estate of late"] Equity Bank has underwritten 40% of the Offer. ["If you count out foreigners, and banks which prefer bonds and giving loans"] So expect EIB to be lending to support the Rights Offer! Greedy when others are fearful.
