“They will receive guaranteed shares up to Shs5 million with a full number of bonus shares that they are entitled to,” he said.

However, If an application is not successful or in case of partial allotment, all payments will be refunded through the same channel, free of charge.

He said the period will last six weeks until November 22 and at the end of the period, the company will have sold Shs4.5 billion of its shares to the public.
