TransCentury PLC plans to raise about Ksh2.063 billion by issuing 1,876,013,830 new ordinary shares at KSh1.10 per share.
Proceeds of the rights issue will be used to settle debts owed to creditors, repay part of the holding company debt owed to lenders, and unlock additional working capital financing for the Group and its subsidiary businesses.
