Thanks. "Centum raises Sh6.5bn in project funding deal". This is a known known and is at the PROJECT/SUBSIDIARY level and not HOLDINGS level. Of course, it all ends up in the same place when consolidated but Centum did indicate 2 years ago that they shall push debt from Holdings to Project/Subsidiary level. Part of the re-financing was for the Two Rivers Loan so an existing loan was essentially extended. Not a new loan. The balance is project related but not at the Holdings level. On consolidation, it all shows up but at least 20bn-ish (FY19) is expected to be paid off by FY21. Centum might need to sell off stakes in other investees over the next 2 years. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

PRESS RELEASE– Centum Concludes a Successful Exit of Almasi Beverages Limited and Nairobi Bottlers Limited Nairobi, Kenya, 3 October 2019 — Centum Investment Company PLC (“Centum”) announces that it has completed the sale of its 53.9% shareholding in Almasi Beverages Limited (“ABL”) and 27.6% shareholding in Nairobi Bottlers Limited (“NBL”) to Coca-Cola Sabco East Africa Limited (“CCSEA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa Limited (“CCBA”). Centum’s original investment in Rift Valley Bottlers and Mt. Kenya Bottlers in the 1970s, the later investment in Kisii Bottlers and subsequent consolidation of these three bottlers, formed a key part of Centum’s investment strategy to realise value. The consolidation into Almasi Bottlers Limited has since enabled the company to leverage on shared managerial capacity, territory penetration, rationalization and realization of strategic objectives. Commenting on the transaction, Centum Group CEO, Dr. James Mworia said: “The sale of ABL and NBL marks another important milestone for Centum. We are pleased to have played a role in providing strategic guidance to its well experienced management on revenue enhancement, efficiency improvement and organisational effectiveness. Following our exit to CCBA, which is one of the largest bottlers in the world, we believe they are uniquely placed to create the next phase of value within the businesses. Centum remains committed to its vision of being Africa’s foremost investment channel and will seek to redeploy the funds to cash generative business in line with our investment strategy.” As at 31st March 2019, Centum held its investments in ABL and NBL at a total value of KES 16.8 billion. The sale by Centum of its shareholding in ABL and NBL was for a total consideration of KES 19.4 billion compared to a historical total cost of KES 3.6 billion. https://centum.co.ke/ima...E_Bottlers_Sale_2019.pdfIf you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) has cancelled a sh.19.5 billion loan offer to a firm partly owned by Centum Investments over viability and environmental concerns raised by lobbies. The EIB East Africa head Catherine Collin had last year said the Euros 155 million (Sh.19.5 billion) generation financing package to Akiira Geothermal Ltd "will be finalised soon." The Centum consortium was expected to contribute sh.11.7 billion or 30% of the project's cost of sh.39 billion while the rest would be funded through commercial loans. The EIB Deputy Head of Division Joan ManuelSterlin Balenciaga,however,said in communique dated October 10:"After careful consideration and due to the fact that the EIB has seen no progress on the Akiira Geothermal expansion project over the past three years,the EIB has formally decided not to pursue the appraisal of the project."

Any idea which stocks at NSE Centum are buying? Mworia is confident that this move will push capitalisation to kshs. 100 billion ala Centum 3.0.

KenGen is able to make the locals happy - build a school, borehole, e.t.c and gets funding from EIB, World Bank & JICA albeit with GoK guarantees which Centum lacks.
