7.1 Equity Capital Markets<br />
7.1.1 Primary Market<br />
During the years 2002 – 2013, transactions have included<br />
initial public offers, rights issues, offers for sale, outward crosslistings,<br />
introductions, mergers, acquisitions, inward crosslistings<br />
and delistings. The grand total amount of capital raised<br />
is in excess of Kshs 130 billion (USD 1.52 billion).<br />
The largest single transaction was in year 2008 - the GOK<br />
divestiture in Safaricom Ltd, which raised Kshs 50 billion (USD<br />
583 million). The offer for sale was subscribed 532%. Kshs 50<br />
billion itself was raised from Kenyans and East Africans via over<br />
800,000 applications. The balance of the heavy subscription<br />
was from foreign bids.<br />
The heavy oversubscriptions period was in the full calendar<br />
years 2006, 2007 and 2008 most without ‘bookbuilding’.<br />
Oversubscriptions next returned in the calendar year 2012<br />
mainly during rights issues.<br />
