See page 4, 20 bn debt awaiting conversion to equity and comprehensive income revaluation of 75b. In my view, they are all set for rights issue just a matter of perfect timing which unfortunately is being denied by the market.
After dilly dallying for 3 years.they'll be in for a rude shock if they try to feed the market with a Rights Issue now. Gava cleverly not spending cash. So it's up to you investors to fork out the 30bn.
They should await the next bull run in 3 years to issue the rights it's too late now
KenGen needs the cash but a Rights Issue today will probably fail miserably if it relies on the Kenyan (except GoK) shareholders.
Heavy dilution in a bear market will flop miserably. Ask KQ. Then you'll be forced to raise expensive debt from the commercial side. GoK is already facing cash pressure to fully take up their rights. This won't end well. This would be a good time for a very large, influential, very long-term cash-rich investor who can influence policy [& keep a check on corruption] at KenGen. The 65bn contract given a shady firm which forged docs is scary.
I, as a small investor, with zero influence, will pass.
