PART II CHAIRMANS LETTER


To: All Shareholders of City Trust Limited (CTL)

Dear Shareholder,
PROPOSED ACQUISTION OF SHARES IN I&M BANK LIMITED NOT ALREADY HELD
BY CITY TRUST LIMITED BY WAY OF SHARE EXCHANGE
1.

INTRODUCTION

On 3rd October 2011, your Board issued a cautionary announcement regarding on-going
negotiations with a regional Bank for the acquisition of its shares in exchange for shares in
your Company.
It now gives me great pleasure to inform you that your Board has since concluded these
negotiations and, in principle, pending shareholder approvals, agreed on the terms with the
regional bank being I&M Bank Limited. You are aware that your Company already holds
7.28% of the shares in I&M. It is proposed that your Company will acquire all of the
remaining 92.72% shares in I&M. The payment consideration for the acquisition of these
remaining shares in I&M will be through the issuance of 363,722,034 New Shares credited
fully paid up to the shareholders of I&M. The effect of this acquisition will be that I&M will
become a wholly owned subsidiary of CTL.
This document provides pertinent information on the effect and impact on your Companys
financial position and the various approvals required to consummate this transaction. The
purpose of this document is to provide you with (i) information on the background and
rationale for undertaking this transaction, (ii) outline the key terms of the proposed
transaction, and most importantly (iii) to seek your approval to proceed with the proposed
offer.
2.

ACQUISITION OF SHARES IN I&M BANK LIMITED

Under the offer, CTL will seek to acquire the remaining 26,704,995 shares comprising
92.72% of the issued and paid up shares in I&M.
By way of background information, I&M possesses a rich heritage in banking. Founded in
1974, the Bank has evolved from a community financial institution to a full-fledged
commercial bank offering a wide range of corporate and retail banking services, making it a
significant player in the Kenyan market. Known for its innovative and wide range of products
and services, it is backed by state-of-the-art technologies, staff strength of close to 500 and
a branch network of 20 in Kenya. I&M has in the recent past established its presence in
the region with 15 branches spread across Mauritius through its associate Bank One
Limited; 6 branches in Tanzania through its subsidiary I&M Bank (T) Limited and 15
branches in Rwanda through its subsidiary Banque Commerciale du Rwanda Limited
(BCR).

City Trust Limited

Shareholders Circular

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Two leading European Development Financial Institutions (DFIs) Proparco (French) and DEG
(German) own approximately 10.68% of the Bank while the rest is owned by a consortium
of Kenyan investment companies and individuals. Total assets of the I&M Bank Group
exceed KES 144 billion as at 30th September 2012. More details about I&M are set out under
Part III of this circular.
3.

RATIONALE FOR UNDERTAKING THIS ACQUISITION

This transaction represents a win-win situation for both CTL and I&M shareholders as
explained below:

From CTLs Perspective


In deciding to proceed with the acquisition, the Board took into consideration several
factors, the most important of which include the following:

As at the date of this Circular, CTLs investment in I&M Bank represented 7.28% of
the Banks shareholding. Based on the Banks current valuation and CTLs current
market price, CTLs shares are trading at a discount; this being attributed to the
indirect holding of the Banks shares.
However on conclusion of the transaction, I&M Bank will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of CTL, enabling the current shareholders of CTL and potential investors
to directly hold shares in I&M. This will not only enable shareholders of CTL to
directly benefit from the Banks financial performance, but also provide an
opportunity to participate in I&Ms substantial asset base and businesses in the
region. We believe that, this would over a period of time, steer the price of CTL
shares to better reflect the direct shareholding in I&M Bank.

Further, the share swap mechanism has been structured in a manner that is most
beneficial to shareholders of CTL. The structure is such that on completion of the
transaction, CTLs shareholding will, in all material respects, resemble the current
shareholding structure of I&M Bank. Taking into consideration the value of CTLs
other investments, the current shareholders of CTL will collectively hold 7.30% on
conclusion of this transaction, reflecting a marginal increase from their current
shareholding of 7.28%. The Board appreciated that, in contrast, had the share swap
mechanism been structured on market values of the two entities namely I&M Bank
and CTL, the shareholders of CTL would have been significantly diluted in the
process.

Facilitate the increase of the shareholder base of CTL and thereby enhance liquidity
of the Companys shares on the NSE.

Enable CTL to upgrade its listing status on the NSE from the AIMS to the MIMS
following the enhanced shareholder base.

Shareholders Circular

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

From I& M s Perspective


Similarly for I&M and its shareholders, this transaction provides several advantages which
are listed below:

Enable I&M achieve its long term objective of listing its shares on the Nairobi
Securities Exchange whilst simultaneously providing liquidity for its institutional,
corporate and individual shareholders.

Provide I&M with a platform to raise additional capital in the future to facilitate the
achievement of its long term growth and expansion strategy, and thereby, improve
upon its capabilities to successfully manage the growth achieved in the last few
years.

4. EFFECT OF THE TRANSACTION ON THE EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS AND THE


COMPANYS FINANCIAL POSITION
The Board acknowledges that this transaction will result in a dilution of your shareholding in
CTL. However, the Board has ensured that transaction be structured in such a way to
ensure that there shall be no dilution of your current indirect shareholding in I&M Bank.
Further, all due care has been exercised to safeguard that the ultimate beneficial
shareholding of the Bank remains materially unchanged. This is illustrated in Part IV, under
shareholding on page 31.
This acquisition will have a significant positive impact on the financial position of your
Company and this has been outlined in further detail under Part IV on pages 32 and 33. For
instance, following the proposed share split and the issuance of the new Ordinary Shares to
I&M Bank Shareholders, CTLs issued share capital will increase from KES 28,640,005 to KES
392,362,039.

5. PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION


i.

Offer: Once approved at the EGM, CTL will make an offer to the shareholders of
I&M under section 210 of the Companies Act to acquire all the shares not presently
held by CTL in exchange for shares in CTL. No cash payment will be made and a
cash alternative will not be provided.

ii.

Share Exchange Ratio: The share exchange ratio as agreed and approved by your
Board is 13.62 shares in CTL with the proposed par value of Kshs. 1.00 (post share
split) for every 1 share in I&M with a par value of Kshs. 100/-. The share-exchange
ratio has been determined keeping in mind that the most equitable basis of valuation
would be based on I&M. In this regard, as CTLs most significant asset is its
shareholding in I&M, CTLs valuation has been based on the fair value of I&M. This
derived value is the basis of the share exchange ratio. The following factors have
also been taken into consideration in determining the share exchange ratio:

CTLs and I&Ms most recent audited financial statements available at that time;

A valuation of I&M Bank carried out by Deloitte for the private placement in
November 2010.

An updated valuation of I&M Bank carried out by Dyer and Blair Investment Bank
in October 2012.

CTLs value per share based on a proportionate share of I&Ms computed value as
above.

Ensuring that in carrying out the transaction and as a result thereof, the ultimate
shareholding of I&M Bank remains materially unchanged.

The transaction is such that I&M Bank shareholders will receive 13.62 new ordinary
shares in CTL for every one share they hold in I&M. Consequently, the consideration
to I&M shareholders will be in the form of an allotment of 363,722,034 New Shares of
CTL which will be credited as issued and fully paid up.
The New Shares, when issued, will have the same rights as the existing ordinary
shares of the Company.
iii.

Change in Name & Board of Directors


It is intended that, upon completion of the Acquisition, the name of the Company will
be changed to I&M Holdings Limited.

A brief profile for each of these Directors has been provided under Part V on pages
34 and 35 of this Circular.
iv.

Amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association


Your Board is of the view that the transaction represents an opportune moment to
review the Memorandum and Articles of Association for the Company. This document
was drawn up in 1950 and has not been substantially reviewed since then. From 1950
there have been significant changes in the operating and regulatory environment
including the adoption of best practices in areas such as Corporate Governance which
need to be factored into the amended Articles of Association. It is also important to
note that your Company will now become the holding company for the Bank. With
these factors in mind, the Notice of EGM contains resolutions amending the
Memorandum of Association of the Company and adopting new Articles of
Association. Details on the amendments proposed have been provided under Part VI
on page 36 of this Circular.

v.

Transfer of CTL shares from AIMS to MIMS


CTL had applied to the CMA to transfer its shares from the AIMS to MIMS listing, the
Main Board of the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Following the successful completion
of this transaction, CTL will be fully eligible in all aspects to list on the MIMS, save for
the requirement to have 1,000 shareholders. To this end, CTL had requested CMA for
a 6-month period exemption within which the Company will have to increase its
shareholder base from approx. 700 to the required minimum of 1,000 shareholders.
CMA vide its letter dated 6th November 2012 conveyed its approval of the exemption.
It is intended to achieve this as below:

Page | 13

City Trust Limited

Shareholders Circular

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

vi.

Following the conclusion of this transaction, Biashara Securities Limited (BSL), an


existing shareholder of I&M, will hold approx. 13.92% of CTL. BSL is a holding
company that has approx. 1,000 individual shareholders.
It is intended that BSL shall, subject to receipt of court approval and all other
necessary regulatory approvals, be wound up allowing its approx. 1,000
shareholders to hold shares directly in CTL.
Consequently CTLs shareholder base will increase to approx. 1,700 shareholders
thereby being in full compliance with the MIMS requirement. It is anticipated that
this requirement will be met within the 6-months period as required by the CMA.

Transaction Costs: The transaction costs in relation to the acquisition of shares in


I&M, details of which have been provided in Part VIII on page 46 will be funded from
a special dividend to be declared by I&M at completion of the transaction.

6. PROPOSED SHARE SPLIT


Your Board is simultaneously proposing to undertake a share split. The main objective of
this action would be to increase the number of shares in circulation, which would enhance
the liquidity of the shares on the NSE.
It is proposed that the ordinary shares of the Company be split so that the shareholders will
receive 5 new shares for every share they currently hold in CTL. This will reduce the par
value per ordinary share from the current KES 5.00 to KES 1.00.
The current share price of CTL shares is KES 400.00, and thus restricts trading activity in
view of the fact that minimum transaction size is 100 shares. Following the share split, the
price of each share would also decrease by the same factor of 5 thereby increase the
affordability of the Companys shares. Over time, this action would in all likelihood increase
the shareholder base. Likewise, the increased affordability of the shares would improve the
Companys ability to raise funds through the capital markets.
In addition, the split will result in an increase of the current authorised shares for CTL from
10,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of KES 5.00 to 50,000,000 ordinary shares with
a par value of KES 1.00. Similarly, the issued and fully paid shares will increase from
5,728,001 ordinary shares to 28,640,005 ordinary shares.
The proposed register closing date for the share split is May 28, 2013 following which the
increased shares will be uploaded for trading on June 11, 2013. The same will serve as the
date of commencement of trading in the shares.
7. STATUTORY APPROVALS & RELATED INFORMATION
In compliance with the terms of CMA approval, the key shareholders have agreed to lock in
their shareholding for a period of 24 months effective from the completion of the proposed
transaction. More details on the terms and conditions of the Offer are set out under the
Statutory and General Section on page 43 of this Circular.
Included in Parts III-IX of this Circular are additional information and disclosures on CTL and
I&M Bank, and the future of the Company including pro forma financial information.

be held on Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Subject to approvals by the Shareholders,
regulators and other authorities as applicable, it is expected that the transaction will be
concluded before June 30, 2013.
For purposes of the EGM, you will find enclosed a form of proxy for your use in relation to
the EGM. A proxy need not be a shareholder of CTL. The completion of a form of proxy will
not prevent you from attending and voting in person if you wish to do so.
The form of proxy should be returned to the Companys registered address so as to reach
the registrar no later than 10.00 am Monday, February 18, 2013
9. RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING INTENTIONS
For the reasons given in this Circular, your Board is of the opinion that the transaction is in
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
The Directors unanimously recommend that all CTL shareholders vote in favour of the
resolutions to be proposed at the EGM, as they intend to do in respect of their own
beneficial holdings of shares, if any.
If you are in any doubt as to what action to take, it is recommended that you seek
independent advice from your stockbroker, bank manager, lawyer, accountant or other
professional adviser.
Yours sincerely,

PART III I&M BANK LIMITED


I&M Bank Limited (Bank) possesses a rich heritage in banking. The Bank was established
in 1974 as a financial institution that grew to be a full-fledged commercial bank in 1996.
Today, the Bank has a network of 20 branches and 21 ATMs covering the major financial
centers in Kenya and with an access to over 3,000 ATMs across the country as part of other
networks. I&M Bank has grown to be a significant player in the Kenyan market. The Bank
was recently ranked overall 4th best bank in the industry out of 43 banks, by the 2012
Banking Survey.
The Bank offers a wide range of commercial banking and financial products and services,
and prides itself on introducing innovative products and services based on the needs of its
customers. In 2010, I&M became the first bank in East and Central Africa to be licensed by
VISA for E-Commerce acquisition. This important step has been well perceived in the East
Africa market as plugging the missing link for promoting E-commerce in the country.
I&M Bank is privileged to count, amongst its shareholders, two leading European
development financial institutions (DFIs), Proparco and DEG, who together own
approximately 10.68% of I&M Bank. A major portion of the remaining approx. 90%
shareholding in the bank is held by a consortium of Kenyan investment companies. In
November 2010, the Bank successfully raised KShs. 2.4 billion (approx. USD 30 Million)
through a private placement which resulted in an expansion of the Banks shareholding
base. The Bank also successfully set up and issued shares under an Employee Share
Ownership Plan (ESOP) in July 2011.
As at September 30, 2012, I&M Banks issued and paid up share capital was KShs. 2.88
billion, with a share premium of KShs. 3.77 billion. The total Shareholders Equity as at this
date, stood at KShs. 16.567 billion.
I&M Bank has over the last few years successfully pursued a regional expansion strategy
and established operations in (i) Mauritius through its associate Bank One Limited; (ii)
Tanzania through its subsidiary I&M Bank (T) Limited, and (iii) Rwanda through its
subsidiary Banque Commericale du Rwanda Limited. A summary of each is outlined below.
Bank One Limited, Mauritius
Bank One Limited, formerly known as First City Bank Limited (FCB), is a commercial bank
in Mauritius, licensed to do both on-shore and off-shore banking business, and regulated by
the Bank of Mauritius. FCB was formerly owned by Government of Mauritius institutions,
which divested from the bank by selling their equity in 2008 to I&M Bank and CIEL
Investment Limited, who own 50% each in Bank One.
Bank One represents I&Ms maiden expansion in terms of overseas investments, and
marked the beginning of its strategic expansion outside Kenya. Through Bank One, I&M
offers international off-shore banking, wealth management and trade finance services to a
widespread clientele.
The Mauritian bank has a network of 15 branches, with total assets of Mauritian Rupees
(MUR) 18.072 billion (approx. KShs. 47.71 billion) as at 30th September 2012.

PART VI PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO MEMORANDUM &


ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Upon successful conclusion of the transaction , it is intended to amend the Memorandum of
Association of CTL and adopt new Articles of Association as set out in the Notice of EGM in
Part IX of this Circular.
The following is a summary of the principal proposed changes. This summary is not
exhaustive and should not be regarded as a substitute for reading the new Articles of
Association which will be circulated with the Notice of EGM.
Memorandum of Association
It is proposed that the objects listed in paragraphs (a) to (f) of Clause 3 of the
Memorandum of Association should be abandoned. These relate to the former brewery
business carried on by the Company which are no longer applicable or appropriate for an
investment holding company.
The objects will be expanded by two new objects providing that the business of the
Company will be that of an investment holding company.
Articles of Association
The existing Articles of Association of the Company were drafted many years ago under the
Companies Ordinance, 1933. They are now out of date and have not taken into account
developments in the law, corporate governance and modern communications. It is
proposed that the existing Articles be replaced in their entirety by a new set of Articles.
In addition, substantial holders in I&M Bank wish to preserve some specific shareholder
rights similar to the rights which they enjoy under the Articles of Association of I&M Bank.
Significant changes in the new Articles include:

The removal of the provisions which applied to the original acquisition of the brewery
business (old Articles 3 and 4).

A provision that new shares to be issued by way of rights unless otherwise resolved
by the shareholders by ordinary resolution (new Article 14). The old Article 56 only
requires a rights issue if so resolved on an increase of capital.

The addition of provisions designed to deal with the application of the Depositories
Act (new Articles 20 to 27 inclusive)

The introduction of customary requirements as to the transfer of shares (new Article


42).

The inclusion of provisions allowing the issue of share warrants (new Articles 60 to
62 inclusive)

PART VII RISK FACTORS


On conclusion of the acquisition, I&M Bank will be a wholly owned subsidiary of CTL. In
addition to the general risk factors that CTL shareholders have previously been exposed to,
this transaction increases their exposure to the banking sector.
I&M Bank, over the years, has had a keen focus on risk management both in its business
processes and products, which have aided the Banks steady growth. Post-acquisition, CTL
will ensure that this keen focus is carried on both at the holding and bank level.
Risk management principles:
The following risk management framework already established at all levels of the Bank, will
be replicated at the holding company to ensure that risks identified are adequately
considered and mitigated:

The Board of Directors at both the CTL and bank level assume the ultimate
responsibility for the level of risks taken and are responsible to oversee the effective
implementation of the risk strategies;

The organizational risk structure and the functions, tasks and powers of the
committees, employees and departments involved in the risk processes are
continuously reviewed to ensure their effectiveness and the clarity of their roles and
responsibilities;

Risk issues are taken into consideration in all business decisions. Measures are in
place to develop risk-based performance measures and this is being supplemented by
setting risk limits at the company level;

Risk management has been integrated into various management processes such as
strategic planning, annual budgeting and performance measurement;

Identified risks are reported in a transparent and timely manner and in full;

Appropriate and effective controls exist for all processes.

Outlined below are some uncertainties and risks that CTL faces currently as well as a result
of the increased exposure to the banking sector. In addition to these, there may be other
risks and uncertainties not presently known to CTL or that it currently believes not to be
material that may also have an adverse effect on CTLs future performance, which may
cause the price of shares to decline.
1 General Risks
(i) Political Risk
Kenya, like many developing countries, is subject to political risks that may arise from
political unrest which could adversely impact the general economy and specifically, the
banking sector. Following the last general elections, Kenya went through a period of civil
unrest that resulted in a slowdown of the economy. Banks in particular saw a decline in
demand for credit and financial services, which led to a decrease in performance. It is
hoped that with the implementation of the new constitution and measures in place, that
the Country shall not experience the same unrest.

City Trust Limited

Shareholders Circular

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(ii) Economic Risk


Inflation has been on an increasing trend since 2008 directly impacting various sectors
of the Countrys economy. Likewise, other economic factors that have adversely affected
the performance of the Kenyan economy include the exchange rate fluctuations of the
Kenya Shilling, erratic interest rates and reduction in bilateral and multi-lateral aid.
Efforts are being made on infrastructural improvements and investments in most sectors
of the economy, throughout the country aimed at lowering the cost of doing business in
the Kenya. Additionally, as I&M Bank operates within the wider region, the stability of
other East African economies could impact CTLs overall performance.
2 Risk factors relating to the Business
This section provides details of the Banks exposure to risk and describes the methods used
by management to control risk. The most important types of risk to which the Bank is
exposed are liquidity risk, credit risk, market risk and operational risk. Market risk includes
currency risk and interest rate risk.
(i) Regulatory Risk
Regulatory risk relates to the risk of non-compliance with laws, rules, regulations,
prescribed practice or ethical standards issued from time to time. Regulatory risk may
arise in instances where the laws and rules governing the conduct of business may be
ambiguous or change drastically.
CTLs regulatory risks arise from its compliance to the Companies Act as well as the
Capital Markets Act and other guidelines as may be stipulated by the relevant
authorities. Likewise, on conclusion of this transaction, CTL will to some extent be
regulated by the Central Bank of Kenya. Banking services in Kenya are regulated by the
Banking Act (and its amendments), the Finance Act and the CBK, under which I&M Bank
is regulated. New policy guidelines and regulations issued by the CBK could impact on
the operations of the Bank and hence CTLs performance.
(ii) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Bank if a customer or counterparty to a
financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from
the Banks loans and advances to customers and other banks and investment securities.
For risk management reporting purposes, the Bank considers and consolidates all
elements of credit risk exposure.
The Board of Directors has delegated responsibility of the management of credit risk to
its Board Credit Committee. A separate Bank Credit Risk Management Committee
reporting to the Board Credit Committee is responsible for oversight of the Bank credit
risk.
The risk that the counter-parties to trading instruments might default on their obligation
is monitored on an on-going basis. In monitoring credit risk exposure, consideration is
given to trading instruments with a positive fair value and to the volatility of the fair
value of trading instruments over their remaining life.

Page | 39

City Trust Limited

Shareholders Circular

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To manage the level of credit risk, the Bank deals with counter parties of good credit
standing, enters into master netting agreements wherever possible and when
appropriate, obtains collateral.
The Bank also monitors concentrations of credit risk that arise by industry and type of
customer in relation to Bank loans and advances to customers by carrying a balanced
portfolio. The Bank has no significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty.
To determine impairment of loans and advances, the Bank assesses whether it is
probable that it will be unable to collect all principal and interest according to the
contractual terms of the loans and advances.
(iii) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk includes the risk of being unable to meet the Banks financial obligations as
they fall due because of inability to liquidate assets at a reasonable price and in an
appropriate timeframe.
The Bank continually assesses liquidity risk by identifying and monitoring changes in
funding required to meet business goals and targets set in terms of the overall Bank
strategy. In addition, the Bank holds a portfolio of liquid assets as part of its liquidity risk
management strategy
(iv) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rate, equity prices,
foreign exchange rates and credit spread (not relating to changes in the
obligators/issuers credit standing) will affect the Banks income or the value of its
holdings of financial instruments.
All trading instruments are subject to market risk, the risk that future changes in market
conditions may make an instrument less valuable or more onerous. The Bank manages
its use of trading instruments in response to changing market conditions.
The Board of Directors has delegated responsibility for management of Market Risk to
the Board Risk Committee. Exposure to market risk is formally managed within Risk
Limits and Policy Guidelines issued by the Board, on recommendation of the Board Risk
Committee. ALCO, a Management Committee is charged with the responsibility of
ensuring implementation and monitoring of the Risk Management framework in line with
Policy Guidelines. The Bank is primarily exposed to Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange
Risk. The policy guidelines and procedures in place are adequate to effectively manage
these risks.
(v) Operational Risk
The overall responsibility of managing Operational Risks - the risk arising from failed or
inadequate internal processes, people, systems and external events - is vested with the
Board of Directors. The Board through the Board Risk Committee issues policies that
guide management on appropriate practices of operational risk mitigation. An
independent Risk Manager assures the Board Risk Committee of the implementation of
the said policies.
The following are key measures that the Bank undertakes in managing operational risk:
Page | 40

City Trust Limited

Shareholders Circular

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Documentation of procedures and controls, including regular review and updates to


reflect changes in the dynamic business environment.
Appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent authorisation of
transactions.
Reconciliation and monitoring of transactions.
Compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements.
Reporting of operational losses and ensuring appropriate remedial action to avoid
recurrence.
Development and implementation of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Plans.
Training and professional development of employees to ensure they are well
equipped to identify and mitigate operational risks in a timely manner.
Establishment of ethical practices at business and individual employees level.
Implementation of Risk mitigation parameters, including insurance where this is
considered effective.

The entire operational risk management framework is subjected to periodic independent


audits (internal) in order for the bank to obtain an independent opinion on the
effectiveness and efficiency of the framework. Further, the findings of the Internal Audit
department are reviewed by the Board Audit Committee and recommendations made
implemented in line with the agreed timeframe.
(vi) Strategic Risk
Strategic risk is the current and prospective impact on earnings or capital arising from
adverse business decisions, improper implementation of decisions or lack of
responsiveness to industry changes. I&M is managing strategic risk as below:

I&M has a Board approved Corporate and Strategic Planning policy that is reviewed
periodically, and whose implementation is monitored by the Executive Office.
A business strategy that covers a 5 year planning cycle which is well defined and
documented and covers each area of product development, growth, marketing,
sales, human resource development and information and communication
technology.
Implementation of well-defined annual budgets and corporate objectives.
I&M has in place internal systems to ensure regular monitoring and analysis of its
external and internal environment so as to gather relevant management
information and ensure that I&M is not unduly exposed to strategic risk.
Additionally the Bank is exposed to risks arising out of the operating environment
characterized by increased competition in the Banking industry, retention of key
staff, continued development of financial and management controls and
information technology systems and their implementation, and maintaining if not
growing the profit margins.

(vii) Reputational Risk


Reputational risk is the potential that negative publicity regarding an institutions
business practices, whether true or false, will cause a decline in the customer base,
costly litigations, or revenue reductions.

Page | 41

City Trust Limited

Shareholders Circular

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This risk may result from a financial institutions failure to effectively manage any or all
of the other risk types. The ultimate accountability for reputational risk management
rests with the Board. The Board of Directors explicitly addresses reputational risk as a
distinct and controllable risk through a versatile and robust risk management framework
for reputational risk. Responsibility for corporate reputation resides with the Executive
Directors and Chief Executive Officers offices.
3 Risks relating to this transaction
(i) Share Liquidity
CTLs shares are listed on the NSE. This transaction is envisioned to increase the
number of CTL shares available for trading, by increasing the number of shares,
through the share split, as well as the shareholder base, through the share swap.
However, it is not possible to accurately predict whether investor interest in the
Company after the transaction will lead to the development of a more active trading of
CTL shares on the NSE or otherwise or how liquid and vibrant any market activity that
does develop might be.
(ii) Dilution
By approving the acquisition of I&M Bank, the shareholders of CTL will dilute their
holding in the Company. However, their ultimate holding in I&M Bank will remain
undiluted, as they will collectively hold the same percentage of shareholding that they
currently do in the Bank.
(iii) Failure to conclude this Transaction
The conclusion of this transaction is dependent on:

An approval by CTL shareholders to make the Offer to I&M Bank; and

At least 90% of I&M shareholders accepting the Offer.

Besides an enhanced reputational risk for both parties, a failure to conclude this
transaction may result in I&M Bank applying for a direct listing on the NSE and in which
case, CTL shareholders could potentially be faced with a decline in share price and
value of their investment in CTL shares over a period of time.

The following exemptions and approvals are required for the implementation of the
Acquisition and the issue of the New Shares:

An exemption from the Minister of Finance under Section 53 of the Banking Act
exempting CTL from the provisions of section 13(1) of the Banking Act in connection

(Securities) (Public Offers, Listing and Disclosures) Regulations, 2002, for the issue
and listing of the New Shares. Approval has been granted.

Approval of the NSE for the listing of the New Shares. Approval has been granted.

into 10,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of KES 5/- each.
The intended split will increase the authorized shares from 10,000,000 ordinary shares of a
par value of KES 5/- each to 50,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of KES 1/- each.
CTLs issued and fully paid-up share capital as at December 31, 2012 stood at KES

Independence
We confirm that Dyer & Blair Investment Bank Limited does not hold any shares in CTL,
directly or indirectly. We have no interest, direct or indirect, beneficial or non-beneficial, in
CTL or the outcome of the transaction.
Comments on the transaction
Upon completion of the transaction, CTL intends to continue carrying on the business of I&M
Bank, which will be operated as a trading subsidiary. This we believe is a much more
efficient structure. For this purpose, CTL will also change its name to I&M Holdings limited.
Additionally in relation to this transaction, CTL has no intention to discontinue employment
of any of the existing employees of I&M Bank or its subsidiaries.
The commercial justification for this transaction is to get CTL shareholders to own the main
asset, the Bank, and unlock their shareholding value. By CTL becoming a holding company,
the shareholders get a more capitalized and regional bank. The process also makes it easier
for I&M Bank to list in the NSE and unlocks liquidity for both CTL and I&M Bank
shareholders.
While CTL owns up to 7.28% of I&M Bank, the Bank has no direct or indirect shareholding
in CTL. Similarly none of the directors of I&M Bank own shares in CTL. Minard Holdings
Limited is the only common shareholder of both CTL and I&M Bank Limited. However,
following completion of the transaction, the direct and indirect shareholding in CTL of the
proposed director, Mr. Sarit S. Raja Shah remain unchanged at 3.43%. Similarly, the direct
and indirect shareholding in CTL for Mr. Sachit S. Raja Shah, a current director in I&M Bank
but not proposed to be a director in CTL will also remain unchanged at 3.43%. All the CTL
directors have expressed their intent to accept the offer in respect to their own beneficial
direct and indirect holdings in CTL.
And as at the date of the offer, no service contracts exist with any director or proposed
director of I&M Bank or any of its subsidiaries.

Industry Outlook

The Banking Sector has continued to grow from strength to strength; Net Assets in
the sector grew from KShs 1.68 trillion in December 2010 to KShs 2.02 trillion in
December 2011, a 20.4% increase. Non-performing loans which are a key indicator
of the health of the sector decreased by 8% from KShs 57.6billion in December 2010
to KShs 53.0 billion in December 2011.

Although declining, inflation posed a huge challenge to the banking sector having
risen to 18.93% in December 2011 from 3.97% in December 2010. Such an increase
in inflation was attributed increases in food and oil prices. Kenyas high current
account deficit contributed to uncertainty with respect to the value of the Shilling.
The Kenyan Shilling lost significant ground to world currencies last year partly due to
Euro Zone crisis as importers demanded more US dollars as a consequence.

The Central Bank of Kenya responded by raising the Central Bank Rate to 18% from
10% and intervening in the local currency markets in order to stabilise the Shilling.
This had significant implications for the banking sector as it raised the cost of
borrowing and requiring a change in its asset mix, recapitalization, mobilizing new
and cheaper deposit channels, opening new branches and more aggressive
marketing.

The rise in interest rates would inevitably result in an increase in non-performing


loans. To cope with potential increase, the Central Bank together with the Ministry of
Finance and Kenya Bankers associations put together a package to help mitigate the
effects which included extension of loan repayments periods and caps on the
increase in installment repayments to a maximum of 20%.

Capital Ratios have deteriorated over the past year across the sector and a good number of
the banks continue to push towards increased capitalization. Select banks have received a
boost to their capital base from Development Finance Institutions in the form of Tier 1 and
Tier 2 capital while others have received debt financing specifically for lending onto SMEs.
Besides, a stream of rights issues is in the pipeline for this year.
The sector continued to register growth in the first two quarters up to June 2012.

Credit advances for the sector grew by KShs 83.8 billion to KShs 1.29 trillion, mainly
in 10 sectors with personal and household sector leading followed by trade,
manufacturing, real estate, transport and communication to name a few.

Deposits on the other hand, accounting for 75.5% of the funding liability rose by
11% from KShs 1.49 trillion in December 2011 to KShs 1.66 trillion in June 2012.
CBK attributes this growth to continued branch expansion, remittances and receipts
from exports. The number of branches increased by 22 over the three months April
to June 2012 to stand at 1,196.

The sector also registered improved capital levels in the second quarter with total
capital growing at 19% from KShs 248.3 billion in December 2011 to KShs 294.3
billion by June 2012. Total capital to total risk-weighted assets stood at 20.3% while
core capital to total risk weighted assets declined from 18.1% in December 2011 to
17.7%.

Constraints in loan uptake by the private sector due to the higher cost of funds has
consequently led to an increase Gross non-performing loans (NPLs) which rose by
7% between April and June to KShs 57.3 billion. For the first six months of 2012, the
ratio of gross NPLs to gross loans increased from 4.3% in March to 4.5% in June,
where it closed in December 2011.

The rates have since declined and the CBR rate cut to 13% in September 2012 from
a high of 18% in December 2011. This is expected to have a gradual effect on the
rate cuts by the Banks and hence the industry is still carrying a higher risk of Nonperforming loans.

The sectors profits before tax for January to June 2012 were KShs 53.2 billion or
close to 60% of KShs 89.5, last years total profit for the sector.

Most banks reported commendable growth in profits for the half year and are
expected to sustain this growth momentum over the next half.

Overall the sector will record continued profitability despite the challenges posed earlier by
the high rates. Declining inflation, stability in the Kenya shilling and the downward revision
of lending rates are amongst the major factors that will drive growth in the short-to medium
term. The growth will further be supported by the sectors increased rollout of the agency
model and other cost effective delivery channels, recapitalization, and increased regional
presence.
Definition of Fair and Reasonable
An offer is generally fair and reasonable if the consideration is equal to or greater than the
value of the CTL share being the subject of the transaction.
In our review of the fairness of the valuation and the transaction, we have considered the
quantitative as well as the qualitative issues surrounding the particular offer. An offer may
be fair and reasonable if all significant factors have been considered in arriving at the
consideration to be offered.
It should be noted that this review opinion does not purport to cater for individual
shareholders positions, but rather the general body of shareholders. A shareholders
decision regarding the fairness and reasonableness of the offer may be influenced by his or
her particular circumstances. Should a shareholder be in doubt, he or she should consult an
independent adviser as to the merits of the offer, considering his or her personal
circumstances.

50% shareholding in Bank One, Mauritius, 55% shareholding in I&M Bank (T) Limited,
Tanzania and 55% in BCR, Rwanda. Non-Kenyan operations in 2011 accounted for about
28% of the Groups assets and 11% of its Profit Before Tax.

contributed 10% to the consolidated group profitability. The Tanzanian entity achieved a 7%
growth in PBT to KShs 296 million and contributed 1% of the groups profitability. BCR
Rwanda, the recent acquisition will feature in the 2012 financials going forward.
The Bank has potential for continuously registering further growth owing to its high
efficiency level, quality of assets, and expansion in branch network, product innovation and
diversity.

Procedures used for the Review of the Share Exchange ratio


In arriving at our opinion in respect of the ordinary shares of CTL and I&M Bank, we have
inter alia, considered the following:
1. The valuation workings for I&M Banks as prepared by Dyer & Blair - to arrive at an
average price range of between KShs 1,363 and KShs 1,432 per share
i.
The information available and assumptions made in arriving at the valuation;
ii.
Market information such as the price earnings ratio of comparable companies
and the appropriate discount rate applied for unlisted companies;
iii.
Financial assessment by the Management of CTL and I&M Bank to the Offer
and their market intelligence and knowledge of the business in preparation of
the forecasts so used;
iv.
Review of the assumptions used for the economic, regulatory and market
conditions in arriving at the valuations;
v.
Review of the reasonability of the representations made by Management.
2. The valuation of CTL based on the 7.28% shareholding in I&M Bank as at March 31
2012 and the additional assets in CTL as at that time in the computation of the share
exchange ratio;
3. Review of the reasonableness of the share split workings used to determine the
appropriate number of new shares to be issued by CTL to I&M Bank shareholders in
relation to the offer.

The share exchange ratio and the resultant new shares to be issued to I&M Bank
shareholders after CTLs share split
The share exchange ratio was determined as follows;
1. The valuation of I&M Bank was adopted as the valuation done by Dyer & Blair as at
October 2012.

Page | 56

City Trust Limited

Shareholders Circular

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In spite of the price of I&M Bank used, and given that the valuation is reasonable
and acceptable, the share exchange ratio would remain the same as long as CTL
percentage stake of 7.28% in I&M Bank is held constant.
Based on this assumption, the price range used for I&M Bank is between KShs 1,363
and KShs 1,432 per share. The price range was arrived at after undertaking a
valuation of I&M Bank and its affiliate and subsidiaries in Mauritius, Tanzania and
Rwanda. The valuation approach adopted considers the following valuation
methodologies;
(i) Income Approach , under the Discounted Free Cash flow to Equity (DCF) and
Capitalization of Earnings;
(ii) Price Multiples , under the Price Earnings Multiple (PE) and the Price to Book
Value (PBV)
(iii) Volume Weighted Average Price
on the OTC market for transaction
completed in 2012
The fair value reasonably considers all avenues of growth for I&M bank and is a
summation of the estimated values of each business segment of the group. Every
bank in the group was valued separately under each of these approaches. The
estimated value of each of the subsidiary banks were then consolidated using the
Sum-of-The Parts approach, where applicable and then weighted under three options
by varying the assigned weights between the income and the price multiples
approaches while maintaining the OTC weight as 10%. The resultant range is as
illustrated below.

2. Before the transaction takes place, CTL is proposing to split its shares such that each
shareholder gets five (5) ordinary 1/- shares for every one (1) ordinary 5/- share
held (or a split of 5:1).
3. Given the price range of KShs 1,363 to KShs 1,432 per share for I&M Bank against
28.8 million issued and fully paid up shares, the enterprise value of I&M Bank is
determined to range between KShs 39.3 billion and KShs 41.2 billion. Using this as
the basis, and taking into consideration CTLs stake of approximately 7.28% in I&M
Bank, adding the other assets of CTL and a share split of 5:1, the enterprise value
for CTL translates to a range between KShs 2.87 billion and KShs 3.01 billion i.e. a
range of KShs 100.1 to 105.1 a share.

Particulars

For the acquisition by CTL of 26,704,995 being 92.72% of the issued ordinary shares in I&M
Bank not already owned by CTL the share exchange ratio is computed at 13.62 shares in
CTL for every 1 share in I&M Bank. Going by this ratio, CTL is to offer up to 363,722,034
new ordinary shares of KShs. 1/- each to I&M Bank shareholders. The total outstanding
shares in CTL thus amount to 392,362,039 shares of KShs 1/- each post the transaction.
CTLs original shareholders holding increases marginally to 7.30%. Assuming that the
shareholding structure of I&M as at September 30, 2012 remains unchanged until
completion, the new shareholding structure of the holding company will be as follows;

Review Opinion
Based on the review performed, and after taking into consideration all the financial
considerations, foregoing assumptions, current economic and regulatory environment and
the valuations working using projections by the management, nothing has come to our
attention that the proposed acquisition of 92.72% in I&M Bank by CTL by way of a share
exchange offer is not fair and reasonable.
In respect of this, our review opinion is that the valuation and consideration thereon is fair
and reasonable provided the above pre-completion conditions have been satisfied, all
regulatory approvals are sought and relevant conditions in the share exchange offer, have
been satisfied.
Consent
We hereby give our consent to the inclusion of this opinion and the inclusion of the
references of our report in the form and context in which it appears in the circular to the
shareholders of CTL.
