1.The share price adjustment will be pegged on the performance of the Society in the previous year.

3. The rebates will be distributed on a 65% plough back and 35% payout ratio. Payment will start from 11th March to 31st March 2015.

5. One slot in the Board is to be assigned to members who are non-Safaricom staff
6. Eligibility to the Board to change from 2years membership to 3years membership. Other terms remain unchanged.
7. Joining fees for groups adjusted to Ksh. 30,000 from the previous Ksh. 15,000.
8. All groups are to make a minimum monthly payment of Ksh.15,000 being Ksh.3,000 per member.
9. Groups are to make contributions per member at the rate of Ksh.3,000 per member

These questions are directed to all "chair" holders

1) I want to get in just before the next AGM. That means I buy at 350/=, right? Yes 300 shares at 350 ea

2) How will my dividends be calculated? 100% or prorated (to almost 0% if I join just before the AGM)? depends on when you get in, ref BGL answered this above

3) If the dividends are prorated, how does that affect (3) above - i.e. plough back and payout? What if my prorated dividend is not enough to plough back (65%). What then? Do you ask me for top up or I end up with "class B" shares [Highly unlikely!]

4) Am I eligible as a non Safcom individual. Yes tho you may need to be introduced by a member

5) What if I want to get out (not that I am planning to)? Is there an exit procedure? share buy back etc. Yes, shares are floated every Tuesday I guess

Thanks bro. Very helpful. Only thing remaining is my 3rd question.

There is no way your dividend will not be enough to be ploughed back. For example if your dividend is KSH10, then Kshs 6.5 worth of shares will be ploughed back. Remember that SIC provides shares in decimal places. So you might end up with 0.02 shares

Gents,

I have been a member of SIC for 3 yrs , let me attempt to break it down.

This year SIC made 27% profit and declared div of 25% of which ratio of div ploughed back: cash payout was 65:35 . Meaning if you had shares worth 100,000 , dividend would be 25,000 of which 16,250 is re-invested (@ Kes 270/share ) and 8,750 is paid cash.

You have an option to reinvest the 8,750 (@270/share) .
The share price was then revised up by 25% to 350 and instantly your 'slaves 'are worth ,10,970 + 20,312 = 31,282 if you decided to reinvest . smile smile

@murchr - I thought the price is revised upwards due to the re-invested amount.

@pirate has now explained how they do it which is simple and pretty much straight forward (albeit flawed - see my reasoning below).

Thanks to both of you.

Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

On a different note, the method they use to calculate the new price is flawed. It overvalues the share because it does not take cognizance of the money pocketed by the shareholders.

Take for example last year.

Share price 270/=

Dividend: 25% * 270 = 67.5/=

Re-invested = 65% * 67.5 = 43.875/=

Paid = 35% * 67.5 = 23.625/=

From my mathematics:

New Price = Old price + reinvested amount
= 270 + 43.875
= Ksh 313/=

You cannot add the whole 67.5 to get the new price because you have already taken out 23.625/=

And even if you use the whole 67.5/= (which you shouldn't) you still get 337.5/=. Go even further and use the whole 27% you still get 342.9/=

Not matter how you dice and slice it, you can't get 350/=

But with this approach, the current price should be Kshs. 313/= NOT 350/=

On the flip side, people immediately re-investing the slaves are making double killing. I don't see why one would EVER take the money.Re-invest and sell almost immediately (if you must) and get approx. 25% more cash!!!

I am getting in all the same before the next price hike (February 2016?).

I will just work the system to my advantage!!!
