OVERVIEW:

An excellent set of results for 2019 showing a pre-tax profit of Shs 1,014 million against Shs 684 million of last year as a result of firm market demand and pricing for both avocado and macadamia throughout the year. The earnings per Share increased from Shs 24.57 to

Shs 36.40. Profitability within the tea operations continued to reflect the difficult trading conditions and significant inflationary pressure on labour and other production costs.

Kakuzi continues to develop its Core Crop Strategy in line with the Group's long-term objectives.

DIVID:

The Directors recommend the payment of a first and final dividend for the financial year 2019 of Shs 14.00 per ordinary share (2018: Shs 9.00) subject to shareholders' approval. The dividend shall be paid on or about 15 July 2020 to the shareholders on the members' register at the close of business on Friday, 19 June 2020.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING:

The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held on Tuesday, 9 June 2020 at 12.00 Noon at Nairobi Serena Hotel. The audited Financial Statements are available on the Group's website: www.kakuzi.co.ke/investor-relations/regulatory-news
