  • Scangroup sellout, new bank?

    Scangoup takeover WPP acquires effective control over Scangroup which was listed on the NSE in 2006, by buying 27.5% of the company, but not taking over or de-listing. They also have pre-emptive rights over a chunk of CEO Bharat Thakar (and largest shareholder) stake when his lock up period expires in 2011. Aly Khan (Rich.co.ke) points out that the slumping NSE offers cheap company shareholding buy opportunities e.g Scangroup and Unilever Tea (going private)

    More Libya: 2010 may see another bank to Kenya this time Libyan / Ugandan Tropical bank. Does Kenya need another bank really? And $19 million share capital won’t go very far these days.
