So when faced with a takeover, this distorts my plans since I have to re-invest the proceeds. If KK was to be here for long and pay increasing dividends over time, the benefits far out way the premiums being offered today (23/=).
I think I have no choice but to take the offer given that the Frenchmen have even indicated that they will not continue with the current generous dividend policy that KK was pursuing.
The other consideration is; what was the impact of them buying a clean KK that just recently make major write offs of Segman payments, KPRL's account owing, long standing legal settlement in H1 and so on? Doesn't this obviously mean that future benefits of a cleaner balance sheet will not accrue to current shareholders, which is not a great at all?
As someone mentioned the number of investible firms in NSE continue to diminish and we will perhaps only be left with banks, Safaricom and a few other well run firms.
As Europe stagnates economically, Europeans are snatching up undervalued businesses from locals. As long as we do not sell, does it matter? Unga: I have refused to sell my shares at a pittance but it is NOT Seaboard but the Ndegwas (who sold us their crap - Ennsvalley) that are screwing us over. KK: If you think 23/- isn't a fair price then do not sell. The share will become hung.. Few trades below KES 23 with none above KES 23 Thanks for sharing our pain with us I  the "regulatory boards" (CMA, COMESA, CAK) give their approvals by end of November so we can wrap this up by 1Q 2019. Totally hung share, as anticipated, made worse by the ongoing investigation against Aly and Co.. Let shareholders at Kenol Kobil hope for better things next year, while remembering Puma  No idea where this chap is BUT I think I may double my money in KK (12 March 2019) in the same amount of time he halved his in KQ! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
