Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) has taken over National Bank of Kenya, and as a result, shareholders are being asked to swap their NBK shares for KCB shares.
According to the offer, for every 10 NBK shares held, a shareholder will be issued 1 KCB share. This offer is set to close on August 30th, 2019.
Shareholders who have not received their Form of Acceptance via post can obtain a serialized replacement copy from the registrar or any KCB Branch. To submit the Form of Acceptance, shareholders will need to attach specific documents, including a copy of their ID, certificate of incorporation, and stamp/seal for corporate shareholders, or a CDS 6 letter and bankers cheque for pledged shares.
It's worth noting that National Bank of Kenya recorded a 98 percent drop in profit to Sh7 million in 2018, down from Sh400 million in the previous year, due to struggles with bad loans.
