Agreed. Is it 20 or 25%? Why are they keen on de-listing? To eat the cake without a lot of public scrutiny?

Some proxy kenyans may be eyeing the local share holding.

Kwani? What's the problem? It's their choice. You can put together a competing bid for 75% & let AK remain listed. Please do so ASAP. Pray Pray Pray

Safcom will be lonely in NSE if AK is de-listed. On a more serious note, taking 14/= could be profitable now but long term gains are more if 14/= is avoided. How much do the Somens hold?

I would love not to sell My shares once they delist, apparently Dimension data Is a subsidiary of NTT the largest telecommunications company in the world in terms of revenue,it is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

I also think Safaricom and other Telcos shld be wary of this buyout.I foresee one epic battle in the coming years if the parent company start seriously investing in this market.

In a nutshell The parent company of Dimension data is a monolith capable of taking Airtel and safaricom head on.

DD/NTT should buy Airtel or Yu & take on Safaricom & Orange!

@Selah NTT is not the largest telecommunications company in the world.It has been dwarfed by several other companies as follows in terms of revenue in 2012 in dollar terms;
AT&T---127.34 B
NTT---43 B
Verizon---110.875B
France telecom--59 B
Telefonica---80B
Deutshe Telekom--76 B
America Movil--59.3 B
China Mobile--86.5 B

In summary NTT is the largest in Japan in terms of revenue and not in the world

Delay..... Read

The notice by Comesa’s Competition Commission generated confusion on whether Kenyan firms must seek double approval where cross-border deals are involved.

Even though Attorney General Githu Muigai said CAK has the final and only say on approval of mergers and deals within Kenya, corporate lawyers afraid of running afoul of Comesa’s authority have been seeking approval from the two bodies.

“The AG’s directive or opinion must be seen within its short-term context, noting also its political angle in questioning Comesa for not consulting before publishing its requirements,” said Mugambi Nandi, a partner at law firm KN Associates LLP.

Mr Nandi said the bigger picture is the pending complexity of having three regulators scrutinising deals. The Comesa Competition Commission charges $500,000 (Sh42 million) to approve a deal and parties can wait up to 120 days to get approval.

CAK does not charge a fee but has a waiting period of up to 60 days. With the EAC Competition Authority, it will take 45 days to get approval. This bureaucracy could make reduce the attractiveness of East Africa as an investment destinatio.
