The Bank was incorporated in the Republic of Kenya on 22 December 1998  under the name Gin- Kelly Koffide International Bank. The Bank is incorporated as a public company limited by shares. Its main object is to carry out for itself or on behalf of other parties all types of banking operations. It is licensed to carry out banking activities in the Republic of Kenya.
At an EGM held on 4 May 2012, the shareholders of Gin- Kelly Koffide International Bank approved the new Memorandum and Articles of association of the Bank required to be adopted to make it compliant with the Companies Act.

The transaction will involve an offer for subscription of New Shares in the Bank in order to raise capital for expansion purposes as well as an offer of existing shares by the GoK to facilitate the partial divestiture in the Bank.
At an EGM on 28 March 2012 the shareholders of the Bank authorized the issuance of 15,167 shares with a par value of Kshs 110,000 making the authorized number of shares 60,667.
The Shareholders of the Bank passed the following resolutions in an EGM on 4 May 2012  relating to the Offer:
·         Share split at the ratio of 1:11,000 thereby creating 667,337,000 ordinary shares of par value of  Kshs 10 each;
·         Creation of an additional 35,123,000 ordinary shares to be allocated to the ESOP and approval of the ESOP terms and conditions;

·         Waiver by shareholders of right of first refusal and pre-emptive rights on the transfer and offer of shares; and

The Bank expects to raise Kshs 20,855 million in gross proceeds from the sale of the New Shares. The Bank intends to deploy the proceeds to reduce its assets and liabilities maturity gap and fund the further growth of its loan book and branch and other channel expansion.


The total number of Sale Shares is 133,467,400, and New Shares is 166,837,000.

Bank of Nairobi is the leading bank in Kenya in terms of assets, deposits, loans and shareholders’ equity. The Bank is also the most profitable bank in Kenya, accounting for above 50% of the total banking sector profits in each of the last three financial years. The
Bank is represented in all provinces and all major economic districts in Kenya. As of 31 December 2010, the Bank had the second largest branch network in the country with 33 branches.
The Bank was incorporated in the Republic of Kenya on 22 December 1998. It was founded as a joint venture between GoK and Kuon Ltd, with each owning 50% of the ordinary share capital. The Bank commenced operations in 1967 with its first branch in Nairobi. Kuon Ltd was a subsidiary of Nyuka operating in Eastern Africa and in 2005 began to withdraw from its
operations in Africa in line with Nyuka  strategy. Kuon still exists as a corporate entity under French Law. In 2007 the GoK acquired the Kuon shareholding in Gin-Kelly Koffide International Bank, thereby increasing its direct and indirect shareholding in the Bank to 100% of the entire Issued Shares.
Management believes that the Bank has the following competitive strengths:
·          leading market position;
·         an evolving and diversified product offering;
·          a widely-recognized and trusted retail brand and franchise;
·         a wide and expanding distribution network;
·         strong corporate customer relationships;
·          experienced management;
·          diversified Board combining local and international experience;
·         access to long-term wholesale funding; and
·          market-dominant size of equity capital
2.4. Asset-Liability Management
Asset-liability management entails planning of the Bank’s balance sheet in terms of the structure of the assets and liabilities and optimization of surplus funds.
2.5. Funding
The principal sources of funding for the bank are deposits from customers. Historically, the bank had had no access to long term funding given the absence of a developed domestic capital market in Kenya and the lack of mobilization of funds from international markets.
Customer deposits combined with capital and other similar instruments enables the Bank cover most of its liquidity requirements
2.6. Information Technology
The Bank continuously invests in new technology and renewal of equipment and infrastructure in order to serve its customers
effectively, improve profitability and grow its business.
Gin-Kelly Koffide International Bank recognizes that its employees are its most important resource and are key to the achievement of the Bank’s objectives. The achievement of the Bank’s strategic objectives is dependent on having the right number of staff, with the right knowledge, skills and competencies deployed in the right roles and at the right time.
2.8. Risk management
The Bank has procedures and operative documents aimed at preventing money laundering and terrorist financing in accordance with the Kenyan Law, including a general anti-money laundering policy and internal control procedures and rules on counteracting money laundering and financing of individuals and legal entities engaged in terrorist activities.
Anti-money laundering procedures include:

v  ‘‘know-your-customer’’ procedures that require clear identification of clients, verification of their identity and appraisal of risk of their engaging in money laundering and/or terrorist financing;
v  “know your correspondent bank” procedures that carefully screen the Bank’s potential partners with regard to their anti-money laundering policies and prohibits dealing with shell banks; and
v  “know your beneficiary” procedures that require clear identification of the beneficiary in a transaction. The Bank practices a risk-based approach and therefore enhanced due diligence procedures are implemented if the risk of particular clients engaging in money laundering and/or terrorist financing is determined to be significant.
The Internal Audit Department reports directly to the Board. It is responsible for assessing the Bank’s internal controls. This ensures the effectiveness of the Bank’s operations, reliability of financial and regulatory reporting, safeguard of its assets and compliance with relevant laws, regulations and institutional policies.

Kenya is considered to be a political stable country with a democratic parliamentary system and an independent judicial system. The GoK is committed to effectiveness in service delivery, zero tolerance for corruption, equity, transparency and accountability to ensure sustainable development for all.
Kenya has made substantial progress in stabilizing and rehabilitating its economy since the 2007 political violence that shattered the country’s economy. Kenya is perceived to be at an advanced stage of rehabilitation and is looking to a bright future.
Exports grew by 27% in 2012 driven by rising commodity prices following the end of the global recession and increased Kenyan output4. Earnings from the coffee sector increased by almost 50% as a result of better prices and higher volumes. Tea export volume increased by 18% in 2010, while the average price was 21% higher than in 2009. Despite the improvement in export
performance, the trade deficit remained wide and is expected to remain so in nominal terms as imports continue to outweigh exports. Kenya’s trade deficit increased from Kshs 523,000 million in 2009 to Kshs 536,000 million in 20105. There was a shift in content of imports between 2009 and 2010 with the main category of imports shifting from capital goods to consumer goods. On
the import side it is anticipated that there will be continued growth in capital and consumer goods, exacerbated by high oil prices.
Export growth is expected to increase in 2013, benefiting from an expected depreciation in the exchange rate and productivity gains from the ongoing liberalization of commercial agriculture.

In order to boost business in the country, the Government has proposed a number of reforms including establishment of one stop border posts to facilitate quick clearance of cargo and passengers, establishment of credit reference bureau to assist banks with credit risk management. Other reforms are in areas of starting a business, construction permits, registering property, access to credit, trading across borders, paying taxes, and legal frameworks.

Bank of Nairobi is subject to various risks in its operations. Prior to making an investment decision, prospective investors should carefully consider the risks factors set out below together with other information set out in this Prospectus.
Investors in emerging markets such as Kenya should be aware that these markets are subject to greater risk than more developed markets, including in some cases significant political, economic and legal risks
The global financial crisis, which commenced in 2007, has severely affected global markets. Financial markets in the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa and elsewhere experienced, and in some cases continue to experience, a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by extreme volatility and declines in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit
availability, inability to access capital markets, the bankruptcy, default, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States federal government and other governments.
The Kenyan Franc remained relatively stable against the US Dollar in 2012 and 2011. Although the CBK is committed to maintaining the Kshs exchange rate fundamentally market driven, there can be no certainty that the Kshs will not depreciate against the US Dollar again and that such
depreciation may adversely affect the Bank’s business, results of operations or its financial condition.
The Prospectus contains statistical and financial data from industry publications and other third party sources. Although the Bank believes the information to be correct, it has not independently verified such data and therefore it cannot assure that they are complete or reliable. In addition, such data may also be produced on different bases from those used in other countries.
The commercial banking sector in Kenya comprises 12 banks with the three largest banks controlling 58.8% of total assets and 58.7% of total deposits as of 31 December 2012  according to data from the CBK. In recent years new players have entered the Kenyan banking sector trough acquisitions and Greenfield operations.
The Bank’s business is also affected by general financial, economic and external events beyond the Bank’s control. Unfavorable economic and external conditions may impact negatively on the Bank’s operations
Kenya’s regulatory environment is dynamic with various statutory changes having been made in the last few years and numerous other statutory changes being considered
The Bank has experienced significant growth in recent years, particularly in the size of its overall loan portfolio, which increased by over 41% (net of provision for loan losses) from 31 December 20010 to 31 December 2012. The Bank intends to continue to concentrate on expanding its loan portfolio as part of its strategic objectives

Currently, the Bank relies to a significant degree on demand deposits made by its corporate and retail customers to finance its operations. Demand deposits may be withdrawn by depositors at any time. There can be no assurance that if unexpected withdrawals of deposits by the Bank’s customers result in liquidity gaps, the Bank will be able to cover such gaps.

The Bank was incorporated on 22 December 1998 in Nairobi, Kenya. The Bank is registered as a public company.
As of the date of this Prospectus the Bank’s Authorized Share Capital is Kshs 7,024,600,000 divided into 702,460,000 Shares of a par value of Kshs 10.00 each of which the issued share capital is Kshs 5,005,000,000 divided into 500,500,000 Shares of a par value of Kshs10.00 each.
The Bank owns the property on which its head office is situated being Plot No. 6112 in Nairobi. It has several branches, including full service flagship branches, service centers and smaller-scale sales outlets around the country with additional four branches which are not yet operational although premises have been acquired. Five additional premises have been acquired for establishment of new branches and agencies.
The properties on which these branches and agencies are situated are either owned by the Bank or leased. The Bank also owns four residential properties in Nairobi.
All the Advisors to the Offer (Lead Transaction Advisor, Legal Advisors, Reporting Accountants, Lead Sponsoring Broker, Co-Sponsoring Broker, Receiving Bank, Share Registrar and Communication Advisors) have given and have not, prior to registration, withdrawn their written consents to act in the capacities stated, and to their names being stated in this Prospectus.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE PROFIT FORECAST FOR THE YEAR 2013
We have examined the profit forecast of Gin Kelly Koffide International Bank set out on this prospectus  in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements applicable to the examination of prospective financial information.
Management is responsible for the profit forecast information including the assumptions set out on page 152 on which it is based.
The profit forecast has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus for Bank of Nairobi Initial Public Offer. The profit forecast has been prepared using a set of assumptions that include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management’s actions that may not necessarily occur. Consequently, readers are cautioned that this profit forecast may not be appropriate for purposes other than that described above.

Conclusion
We have examined the forecast in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements applicable to the examination of prospective financial information. Management is responsible for the forecast including the assumptions set out on the following page on which it is based.
Based on our examination of the evidence supporting the assumptions, other than discussed in the paragraph above:
Ø  nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the assumptions detailed on this prospectus  do not provide a reasonable basis for the profit forecast.
Ø  In our opinion the profit forecast is properly prepared on the basis of the underlying assumptions and is presented in accordance with the measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards.
Even if the events anticipated under the hypothetical assumptions described above occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the profit forecast since other anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material. We express no opinion as to how closely the actual results will correspond to those projected by management.
