Approval of Bonus Issue:- To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following resolutions as special resolutions:
(a) “THAT subject to receipt of requisite regulatory approvals, the sum of Kenya Shillings one hundred and forty million (KShs 140,000,000) being part of the amount standing
to the credit of revenue reserves be capitalised and accordingly that such sum be set free for distribution amongst the shareholders of existing ordinary shares in the capital
of the Company in the share register as at 27th March 2015, to be allocated on or about 27th April 2015, on the condition that, the same be not paid in cash but applied in paying
up in full at par twenty eight million (28,000,000) of the unissued ordinary shares of KShs 5.00 each in the authorized share capital of the company, and that such twenty eight
million (28,000,000) shares credited as fully paid up be accordingly allotted to such shareholders in the proportion of one (1) of such new share for every ten (10) of existing
issued and paid up two hundred and eighty million (280,000,000) shares then held by such shareholders respectively (fraction of a share to be disregarded), and that, the
shares so distributed shall be treated for all purposes as an increase of the nominal amount of the capital of the Company held by each such shareholder and not as income
and further that such shares shall rank pari passu for all purposes with the existing shares in the capital of the Company, and the directors be and are hereby authorised and
directed to give effect to this resolution”; and ,
(b) THAT should any of the said twenty eight million (28,000,000) bonus shares not be issued by reason of fractions of a share being disregarded the same be retained as
unallocated in the Company’s reserves”

Group PBT Ksh. 1.3Bn VS 1.8Bn

Group PAT Ksh. 0.87Bn Vs 1.1Bn

I hope HFCK releases theirs AFTER 13th Feb.

Our View

 We note that the bank’s capital ratios are below the minimum
statutory requirement. However the bonus share issue,
together with the expected rights issue will push up the capital
levels for the bank.

 We expect continued accelerated growth in the bank’s loan
book, driven by a wider offering in business lines and product
ranges, majorly from the Amanah and Chinese business lines.

 Non-performing loans still remain high and we expect them to
remain at the high levels in the medium term owed to the
bank’s exposure to the some volatile sectors, like tourism
which has remained subdued.

Most issuers have a minimum amount of additional rights you can apply for, so check the IM.

Must be due to the one off restructuring cost of 1.128B.
How comes Group EPS is up to 3.11 from 2.32 the previous year
