I trust you are keeping well.
Sir, kindly accept our sincere apologies for the delayed response.
The 20% increase in share capital appears to be an error in the reallocation of share premium to paid up share capital for the bonus issue. There was a double counting of the KES 271,492,000 ( 54,298,414 bonus shares * KES 5 par) in the process. Share premium therefore reduced by twice that amount to KES 665,084,000 instead of KES 936,576,000. On a net basis therefore, shareholders equity is as it should be. We hope the slight error will be corrected in future financial statements.
Thank you.
These 'errors' by NIC are interesting. They had issued 2 releases after the last Rights Issue. Different numbers. The second 'corrected' release had issued Ndegwas more shares!
When is 'hope' a criteria? One should not "hope" to correct an error. Make the correction!
