Kenya Euro Bond A to Z

From Bankelele Sat Jun 7 2014, 19:08:00

Excerpts from the prospectus for the 'Eurobond' being floated by the Kenya Government.

Advisors: Include two Kenyan law firms (Kaplan & Stratton, Anjarwalla & Khanna) and 3 UK ones. Citibank are the registrars and paying agents and lead managers are Barclays, JP MOrgan, QNB, Stanchart and Dyer & Blair is a co-manager. The prospectus notes that while no person has a material interest in the offer, the advisers may perform banking transactions with the Kenya government.

Also the Kenya High Commission in London is the process agent and the Court of International Arbitration in London will resolve bond investor disputes.

Anglo Leasing There is mention of the status of 18 contracts unearthed following a passport deal that was found to be irregular. The prospectus notes that 4 worth Kshs 19B were canceled (with Kshs 1B recovered?!), and 3 worth Kshs 6.8B were completed. Of the other 11 worth Kshs 30 billion, 2 were settled directly, 2 received payments of $16.4M in May 2014 after a court judgment, 6 had not started (but what happens?), and on the last one (security equipment to the NIS) the company has made a demand of Kshs 3B but has not sued.
