Gulf Finance House - Deutsche Bank Converts Another US$5 Million to Shares


GFH announced on the BSE that Deutsche Bank had converted another US$5 million to GFH shares under the convertible murabaha agreement concluded 10 September 2009.  The conversion price is US$0.38 per share. 

The last trading price on the BSE was US$0.245 per share. 

Here's an earlier post that might shed light on this transaction. 

GFH is still not showing any major shareholder on the BSE "Major Shareholders' page" and only has disclosed itself (Treasury shares) and Shamil Bank as holding more than 5% of the shares.

So what's happening to the GFH shares that Deutsche converts?

So far, if my tally is correct, US$55 million out of the US$100 million issue (for which Deutsche paid US$80 million) has been converted.  The issue must have been done for clients of Deutsche Bank since DB is not showing up as a major shareholder in any disclosures I've seen.  Either that or DB is selling the shares as soon as it gets them.
