“The price payable for each offer share is Sh23. It represents a premium of 53.4 per cent to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) at which shares of KenolKobil traded on the Nairobi Securities Exchange for the past 30 trading days up to 22 October 2018,” said Rubis in a statement.
KenolKobil is linked to the late politician Nicholas Biwott, whose exact shareholding in the company was unclear since it was held largely in corporate and nominee entities.
