Namibia Distilleries Restricted (NBL) investors are around N$5.4 billion richer as a result of the payment of a one-time profit related to Heineken N.V’s acquisition of the majority stake in the organization.
After more than a century as a well-known organization in which Namibians had the most say, Heineken N.V. – the world’s second-largest brewer – formally became the majority shareholder in NamBrew on Friday.
Heineken currently owns 100% of NBL Speculation Property (NBLIH), which holds 59.4% of the NamBrew shares listed on the Namibian Stock Exchange (NSX). In a multi-billion dollar deal, the Dutch brew goliath acquired Ohlthaver and Rundown’s (O&L) 50.01% interest in NBLIH, having previously held 49.99%. On Friday, an unusual profit of N$26.35 per share was paid out as a feature of the exchange.
Bonus money
Individual and institutional investors own 40.5% of NamBrew’s 206 529 000 NSX offerings.
The one-time profit amounted to approximately N$2.2 billion in total, with approximately N$135 million set aside for people.
This cash bonus may have been responsible for a massive surge in Capricorn Gathering’s part cost on Friday, the parent company of Bank Windhoek.
Capricorn’s share price rose to N$14.15, a 2.1% or 29c per share increase from Thursday.
According to Romé Mostert, a major Cirrus Capital supporter, this is Capricorn’s highest share value since May 2020. Mostert attributed the increased offer cost to financial backers who may have reinvested their NamBrew incentive.
Theo Klein, a business analyst at Simonis Tempest, adding that the payout of the NBL earnings might also signal good news for exchange, as well as vehicle and property sales.
NamBrew closed at N$32.01 per share on the NSX’s local record on Friday, unchanged from the previous day. The company’s total market value is approximately N$6.6 billion, making it the third-largest on the nearby record.
