So if I had shares worth 500K means dividend is 27%*500K=135,000sh
30%(in cash)*135K=40,500sh in my bank.

40,500sh/500,000sh=8.1% dividend rate(cash)

My question is, will the remaining 70% be re-invested into MY savings/shares account or a general reserve?


@Bird_man. Yes, your 70% dividend will be automatically be converted to '2013 Bonus Dividends' as in your case example; your plough back amount is 94k, which translate to 337 bonus shares


Thanks!Sounds great!

After reviewing their 2013 financial statements, I decided to give SIC a wide berth.

Their reporting is as dodgy as they come. Any one who has a copy should try to reconcile the reported income and receivables from the Blue Bells Project.

The only thing worthy talking about is the bluebells apartments project which seems to be on track.



@BGL, does your opinion still hold ama kuna mabadiliko?

Any one else with views to share on SIC currently?


Nothing has changed! SIC still stinks.

If anything SIC is a cash cow for the so called Board. This is a place where the board can wake up one morning and say the share price is ANYTHING!!! and it is not supported by any tangible info.
I will not be surprised if they do double allocations of those apartments and they charge you a withdrawing fee while it is not your fault.

Hi Guys , I am well invested in SIC and believe it is a great solid investment vehicle . I wanted to confirm how the ploughed back dividends are allocated . I had the assumption that the 70% ploughed back dividends translate to share increase. so 0.7x0.27 = 0.19 -> 19% . The share price has increased from 230 to 280 ,margin of 21% . Is my logic correct?

For joining membership , you require to buy min of 300 shares plus 10k joining fee .

Share price has now been set to 280 Kes. So thats ( 280 x 300 ) + 10k = 94 ,000 KES

But I'm thinking...why not just say dividend is 8.1% and there is a bonus share issue.Why do they have to lie saying its 27%?
