GUINNESS Nigeria Plc will hold an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) today, Tuesday, January 24, as it seeks shareholders’ approval for its planned rights issue.
It will be recalled what the company had announced at the end of 2016, its intention to offer a Rights Issue as part of plans to optimise its balance sheet and improve its financial flexibility.
The EGM, which will hold in Lagos would set the scene for the company to raise up to N40 billion. Guinness Nigeria a subsidiary of Diageo Plc, was established in 1960 and has a base of over 70, 000 local and international shareholders.
Guinness Nigeria, last year, became the first total beverage company when it acquired rights to distribute international premium spirits like Johnnie Walker and Baileys in Nigeria in January 2016 and later commissioned a spirits line for locally manufactured spirits at its Benin plant in November.
This week, the company is also expected to release its first half results for the six-month period ended December 30, 2016.
Guinness Nigeria, in October last year, announced a revenue increase of six per cent for the first quarter of its financial year ending September 30, 2016.
