Family Bank has received formal approval from the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) to list on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) by way of introduction.
Listing by introduction will allow current shareholders to trade their shares on the NSE, broaden investor participation by allowing other investors to trade the Bank’s shares in a more efficient way and enable the market to establish a fair and transparent price for the Bank’s shares.
“Our vision to positively transform people’s lives in Africa has remained unchanged and this listing will accelerate the realization of that vision. In line with this ambition, and in our commitment to enhancing shareholder value and improving liquidity, the decision for the Bank to list follows years of strategic preparation to ensure we list from a position of strength,” said Family Bank Managing Director Nancy Njau.
The Bank’s decision to list by introduction is underpinned by its strong capital position, as it remains well capitalized and does not seek to raise additional capital.
