IMHO, it trades at 5.35 more than its true value.


Waah low blow ...

Why is TCL operating as if it is not a publicly listed company and moreso why is CMA letting them do it?

They have have reached an agreement which is material information. The 'company announcement' that they have reached the agreement without divulging key details is bull.

This is akin to a company telling the shareholders they have audited results and the profit is KES XX without publishing the actual financials.

Key words:

Partnership between Kuramo and TCL. Details?

Kuramo and other investors. Are they now shareholders or do they have preference shares or was there a partial conversion to equity??

I could not agree more. I have been scouring for details and I thought I was the one missing something but clearly there is no official communication of what agreement was reached and what this partnership is. A publicly listed company should fully disclose such information.

The debt was reduced to $40 Million from 80 Million!!!!

Was the 40 million just written off or was it converted into equity?
What fraction of the company does Kuramo get for their $20 million?
What is the timeline for payment of the remaining $20 million?
Are they going to raise it by debt or another equity injection?

Like @alotoftalk said this company is operating like a private company. CMA should demand they disclose more or delist and go back private.

Original Bond = USD 80m
Africa Infrastructure Co. agreement (buy out) with Majority Bondholders = USD 40m

Reduced Debt = USD 40m
Kuramo equity injection = USD 20m

Current outstanding bond debt = USD 20m

I don't believe the bondholders took a $40M haircut. Not when they had the whole company in their hands. There has to be a partial conversion of the $40M to equity.

And this guessing is why CMA is failing. The lack of clear information on a definitive agreement already reached creates room for insiders to either stock up on the shares or clean out.

The Company is playing us for fools. At the very least TC still owes USD 60m and equity holders diluted by 100%.

Weeks later, no details of the agreement to settle the bond. Private company mentality with CMA sleeping and snoring on the job.

On a side note the late great James Gachui was an investor in both TCL and Chase Bank. Would have been a bad year for him.
