DESCRIPTION

Accessing the capital market: Housing Finance Kenya’s experience in issuing two bonds – Frank Ireri, CEO. With more than 46 cities in Africa swelling to populations of a million people or more — and 17 of the world's 100 fastest-growing cities located in Africa — there is an acute need to develop housing solutions for so many urban residents. But raising the capital to meet that growing demand for housing remains a significant challenge. In 2013, the African Union for Housing Finance (AUHF) will host a conference under the theme "Raising Capital for Housing Finance.” The Africa-China Urban Initiative will organize a conference panel discussion on "Understanding (and harnessing) Chinese investment interest." Chinese investment in residential development in Africa is increasingly having an impact and demonstrating a track record of opportunity and experience. Panelists invited include Chinese investors setting out their experiences and expectations for the market and an African corporation that has received Chinese financing. http://urban-africa-china.angonet.org/content/29th-annual-conference-mobilising-capital-housing-finance

How We have Funded Our Growth in the Past…..(Funding Mix)Housing Finance for a long time had been mostly using customers’ deposit to finance its mortgage book, a situation that resulted in a funding mis-match since mortgage lending is long term with average maturity of 13 years

The Various Capital Raising Options that We Considered in 2010

Rights Issue

Securitization

Match Funded Bonds

Would have bolstered our core capital

hence giving us additional capacity to lend

more

We would have benefited from costs

savings since its perpetual capital and no

interest payments are made

Reduces asset liability mismatch

Lower capital requirements

Transfer risks – it is possible to transfer

risks from an entity that does not want to

bear it.

Can help unlock liquidity by using

incremental mortgage book.

Can help match asset and related liability

for the desired duration.

Can be structured as a revolving fund

We had done a rights issue in 2008 and needed time to

demonstrate to our shareholders value creation

following that rights issue

We did not want to impact our RoE

Market was still depressed and below the 2007

valuations

Expensive due to management and system costs,

legal, underwriting, rating fees and on-going

administration.

Legislation and operational procedures not fully

developed.

HF loan portfolio not sufficiently large enough but

definitely a future option.

Market currently not sufficiently deep and efficient enough

for match funded bonds.

Instrument Considerations Comments

Page 8: African Union for Housing Finance Conference: Accessing the capital market

Merits of Issuing a Medium Term Note….

HF settled for the MTN Issue due to the following advantages over the other options:  No collateral required

No equity dilution…good for existing shareholders

A market for the issue existed & still exists…rates allowing

There was and still is sufficient appetite

Speed and timing of going to market

Flexibility especially related to the repayment structure

The related qualifying expenses are tax deductible

Transaction Highlights

7

Situation Overview

Housing Finance had been mostly using customers’ deposits to finance

its mortgage book

These deposits were short term hence maturity mis-match with our

mortgage book

The short term deposits curtailed our growth potential amid abundant

opportunities

A need to grow our mortgage book as well as Shareholders’ interests

We needed a long term but flexible funding

The Instrument We Used

A 7 year Fixed Rate Note and Collared Floating Rate Note

The structure was based on the prevailing interest rate environment

Marketing and Execution

The transaction was marketed within a period of two weeks to local

fund managers, banks, insurance companies and a section of high net

worth clients

The first tranche of KES 5bn (USD60m) was oversubscribed by 41.0%

to KES 7.03 bn (USD85m) with majority of investors preferring fixed rate

note

Capital Markets Authority (CMA) gave us approval to pick the extra KES

2.03bn (USD25m).

Transaction Summary (Tranche I)

Page 10: African Union for Housing Finance Conference: Accessing the capital market

● Need of creating long term instruments to fund housing projects e.g. Housing Bonds

● Creation of REIT Funds (Gazetted July 2013)

Way Forward…

● More legislation on mortgage sector to enhance more funding structures such as Covered Bonds

● Need of Mortgage players to leverage on their balance sheets with instruments like Mortgage Backed Securities and other forms of Securitizations
