Shareholders’ Sweet Deal: A Pricey Affair
The 65 Kobo per Share Revelation
With any corporate move, there’s always the money talk.
Here, shareholders had something to cheer about—a payment of 65 Kobo per share.
This wasn’t just a random figure thrown into the mix; it had the nod of approval from the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC).
But Why the Postponement?
All seemed well. The price was set, shareholders were in agreement, and the SEC gave the green light.
Yet, the company took a step back, citing “unforeseen circumstances” as the villain of the piece.

H2: The Federal High Court’s Role
Here’s where things get interesting.
A court order from the Federal High Court in Lagos necessitated this meeting in the first place. And who was to be the captain of this ship?
None other than Mr Mutiu Sunmonu, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.
His task? Steer the discussion and report the outcomes straight to the Court.

The objective? A swift delisting from NGX.
The Premium Price Point
Picture this: The company’s share price was floating at 50 Kobo on August 12, 2021. And then comes an offer at 65 Kobo per share, a whopping 30% premium.
Sounds like a dream for any shareholder, doesn’t it?
