The creation of new shares is a bit confusing 300M shares is for the ESOP[why didn't they just buy them straight from the bourse?] what abt the 200M share what do they intend to do with them[Future right issue or bonus shares? what else can they do with this extra shares]

1) Good question about buying the 300mn from the market but that would require 'real' cash. If bought today the cost would be KES 3bn. Also I am not sure if an ESOP is allowed to buy shares not allocated to employees [Buybacks].

Also the 300mn shares will probably be vested over time [3 years] so the requirement is over time when the price of the shares could rise thus 'easier' (cheaper?) to issue new shares.

2)There might be an element of a bonus or simply easier to 'vote' for 500mn shares vs 300mn shares?
Or these shares could be used as currency [exchanged] for other firms/assets.

In some cases [for tax purposes or 'exchange' of ownership] a seller may not want cash but shares in exchange.

I know what they calls are but I would by far prefer to buy discounted although the call option would guarantee higher input (hard work) from employees, I don't think they would be that attractive.

BBI will solve it

Well, then let's hope they are awarded Call Options [not sure what KK calls them or the structure of the ESOP]...

LOL... So why would I want KK to issue 'discounted shares' vs 'Call Options'??? I want the KK employees to work harder for the 'free' shares!

If they don't want to... they can quit!!!

It was a typo...The number of news shares to be offered under the ESOP is 140 million not 300 million,this is in a communication to shareholders and the NSE.

Good for KK shareholders... 140mn for ESOP vs 300mn reduces the dilution...

On Friday 15th going by the volatile trend of oil prices, ERC will most likely increase pump prices by 7 - 9% as per the international price volatility. So I expect to see the prices below.

Low estimate...
Super - 102.5 + 7% = 109.60
Diesel - 94.5 + 7% = 101.10

High estimate...
Super - 102.5 + 9% = 111.70
Diesel - 94.5 + 9% = 103.00

I'm not going to bother with jet fuel and kerosene since the same estimates are applicable...

KQ fuel costs will eat into profitability... The share price will remain depressed...
Industrials will continue experiencing high power costs. This is not helped by the fact that Aggreko has another two month contract extension - http://www.foxbusiness.c...tract-months-newspaper/

And finally, the CPI or inflation index will spike to the double digits.

Unless the smart guys can come up with a way to overhaul the oil dependency curse immediately, I don't see how oil won't break beyond $150, MENA crisis or not...




Super - 102.5 + 9% = 111.70
Diesel - 94.5 + 9% = 103.00

And my estimates are sadly confirmed Sad

The Petroleum Institute of East Africa had tabled a proposal which if adopted could have reduced the cost of petroleum products by 18%. Why was the Ministry of Energy not interested?

So KK expects prices to rise another KES 7.20 which means I am going to jaza my tank & some 20-gallon jerricans on 13th. At KK of course!

Is there is a chance that some stations will run out of fuel on 14th? Or simply not sell any until the 15th?

Well, no one can say we weren't warned! And KK was off by 1 bob, it's going to be tight this year... Sad Sad Sad

NOCK has just passed its mess to the consumers to pay and the MOE are just smiling all the way to 2012d'oh!

What irritates me the most is the simple thinking by our journalists blaming everything on the libyan crisisd'oh! d'oh! and then asking the consumer how do you feel?

Well, at least KK is doing so by using their brains & imoporting 'cheaper' fuel by hedging i.e. buy hedges [I think] or import BEFORE prices rise... while NOCK buys AFTER prices have risen!

[quote=the deal]Rwanda now caps fuel prices

http://www.bloomberg.com...oil-costs-increase.html[/quote]

US$ 1.76/litre = ksh 149. This means that it costs ksh 38 (140 - 111) to transport a litre from NBO to KGL - is that realistic? So why are we complaining when other people are being shafted in a bigger way?
