My only concern when the beocme a bank they will move their interest rates from 11.9% to 24% like Equity. Or will there be a deal for founder members ???
Question is, will the anticipated benefits accrue to all members proportionally or will they benefit founder members more??
In any deal, I would rather we make 10 million and you give my 5 million as opposed to "us" making 100 million and you give me 1 million! Get my point??
The total doesn't benefit me if I am up for the mother of all shafting!!!
Let them clear this "founder members" cloud in a binding manner. How hard can that be?
***Am thinking like an investor*** I dont understand why you think your 10K today should earn more or equal to the 10K of Mr farmer who brought this thing from Murang'a to the city.
Have you been following this discussion???
No one has said that today's 10k should earn more than Mr. Farmer's. And I have complained in other threads about people making up stories and "facts" and using them as a basis of their argument. Is there an epidemic???
The shares should be treated equally!! And in cases where some shares are more equal than others, this should not be left to guess work. Put it in black and white!!!
"What about all the years Mr. Farmer has held this share?" you may ask. "What about all the the 8 - 10% annual dividends he has been earning all those years?" I may ask in reply!!! And Mr. Farmer will become rich because the new money will help transform the Sacco to a bank which will be eventually listed. Mr. Farmer and crew are not doing anyone a favour. If they could, they would have converted the Sacco to a Bank and listed it without ever inviting any of us to the party! Make no mistake!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
