Pwc have been appointed as the transaction advicers for a second share issue! Dilution,dilution!am quiting unless you good pple convince me otherwise.

Upto now it is not very clear whether they will sell the 19% to a strategic investor (first & preferred option) or to the public through a second share issue. The CEO has been opposed to the latter since 2007 when rumours started doing the rounds over the impending sale.

there is really no dilution coz they are not creating new shares, they are only selling existing ones. Then again, it is ur call. Never really liked kengen or any other utility for that matter.

What annoyed me most was when Geothermal Develoment Authority was spun out of KenGen with no compensation for shareholders. That was just daylight robbery and I bailed out then.

@mlennyma...too soon to jump ship. The process of getting the whole bus of offering the shares on the stock exchange wont happen overnight. And between now and then, there should announcement of end year results, possibly dividends. Me thinks the share still has some up to go before the effects of the offloading take place.

In the end, its your choice

The title of this thread should have been - Kengen, is it time to run out.

For me, any company that has some funny going ons is not a company worth risking or spending a penny in. i.e., access, KPLC, EA portland cement, Standard Newspaper group etc even if they are giving 30 shillings in EPS. Actually, such companies should be delisted and shareholders refunded their money.

Otherwise, these companies are no better than Pyramid Schemes.
