EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Privatisation in Tables Report is intended to present an updated but summarised version of
the report entitled ―Guyana’s Privatisation Program: The Institutional Framework and Results for
Phase II (1993 to 2008). This Report presents the following information in table format:
1. Tables 1 & 2—classifies 159 transactions handled by the Privatisation Unit (PU) by (i) sector
(9); (ii) company (29 related to Phase II and 5 related to Phase I), and (iii) major type of
transaction [159 transactions--sale of shares or trade sale (27), real estate sales (67), real estate
leases (34), and restructuring (31)];
2. Tables 3 & 4 lists all entities earmarked for privatisation in Phase I and II and the status of
privatisation;
3. Table 5 lists entities not earmarked for privatisation in the PPFP but worked on during Phase II
(11 entities);
4. Table 6 list entities from Phase I worked on in Phase II (6 entities);
5. Table 7 reviews the 27 privatisation transactions comprising Phase II. It lists the entity, the
transaction, the date advertised, the date approved by the Privatisation Board, the date of
Cabinet approval, and the date the transaction was completed;
6. Table 7a provides a summary of Phase II privatisations (27) with a brief description of each
transaction, the buyer, value realized and whether these proceeds were part of (i) a
capitalization, (ii) paid to the Treasury, (iii) paid to the entity (other than NICIL), or (iv) paid
to NICIL. The table shows a total of $17 B in privatisation proceeds—(i) $6.4 B related to
capitalizations, (ii) $8.8 B paid to Government, (iii) $1.4 B paid to the entity, and (iv) $0.4 B
paid to NICIL;
7. Table 7b provides information on Phase II privatisations (27) related to whether the transaction
was advertised and the selection criteria used. This information falls into three categories: (i)
advertised (21 transactions), (ii) negotiated sale following lack of bids after advertisement (2
transactions), and (iii) not advertised (4). Where a transaction was not advertised, an
explanation is provided as a footnote (4 cases);
8. Table 8 lists 67 real estate sale transactions, by sector, property description, date advertised,
date of Board approval, date of Cabinet approval, and date completed;
9. Table 8a details each real estate sale transaction, i.e. the buyer, the value realized, and who
these payments were made to. Of a total of $5.8 B in proceeds, (i) $1.2 B was paid to GOG,
(ii) $1.1 B paid to the entity, and (iii) $3.4 B paid to NICIL;
10. Table 8b provides additional details for each real estate sale transaction, such as whether the
sale was based on an advertisement, a negotiated sale following an advertisement, first option
to purchase to an occupant, or not advertised. Additionally, for each transaction, it indicates
whether the criteria for evaluation was based on price alone or price and other considerations;
11. Table 9 provides a list real estate leases (34 transactions), including description of the
properties, the date advertised, the date of PU Board approval, date of Cabinet approval, and
the date the transaction was executed;
12. Table 9a lists the 34 leases, the Lessee, and the total value of lease proceeds. Of $1.2 B in total
proceeds received (i) $0.3 B was paid to GOG and (ii) $0.9 B to NICIL;
13. Table 10 provides information showing each transaction and the tenure of each lease;
14. Table 11 provides information on restructuring transactions (27) -- date of PU Board approval,
date of Cabinet approval and date completed;
7
15. Table 11a shows total proceeds of $1.7 B in restructuring transactions, (i) $1.5 B is paid to
GOG, (ii) $0.1 B paid to the entity, and (iii) $0.05 B paid to NICIL;
16. Table 12 provides a summary of the total proceeds of $25.6 B from all of the above
transactions broken down by sector (9);
17. Table 13 provides a breakdown of total proceeds of G$25.6 B showing (a) the entity receiving
the proceeds (11 including GOG, NICIL, and 9 other entities) and (b) the split between (i)
privatisation ($16.9 B), (ii) real estate sales ($5.7 B) (iii) real estate leases ($1.2 B), and (iv)
restructuring ($1.7B);
18. Table 13a provides a breakdown of which agency the G$25.6 proceeds were paid to: (a) $6.4 B
was capitalized to various entities including GPL, OBMI, GA2000 (b) $11.7 B was paid to
GOG, (c) $2.6 B was paid to the entity (other than NICIL) owning the assets, and (d) $4.8 B
was paid to NICIL;
19. Table 14 provides a matrix showing privatisation key achievements against Issues/Objectives
facing the entity or sector (this table was last updated in 2008).
The Report also includes various appendices with special cases of property leases or transactions
that NICIL/PU is a party to:
1. Table A deals with 85 Linmine transactions that were tendered and summarizes the status of
each transaction;
2. Table B deals with 134 transactions where NICIL regularised/transferred ownership to
occupants of house lots in Linden, in association with CHPA; these house lots were previously
owned by Linmine;
3. Table C deals with 6 commercial property transactions in Linden;
4. Tables D, E and F deal with Industrial Estates - Eccles (84 plots), Coldigen (36 plots), and
Ruimveldt Industrial Estates (9 entities occupying 22 remaining lots not sold; the lots sold are
covered in the main report under real estate sale transactions);
5. Table G lists 21 transactions with a value of $1.1 B that PU/NICIL handled as agents for

Forte Crest in Guyana was a private company; share transfers required the approval of Forte Crest. Given the small
shareholding (3.58%), the Privatisation Board and Cabinet approved the sale of the shares at the valuation price
determined by an independent Accounting Firm in Guyana.
15
The Government has generally treated employees preferentially. The GNNL10% ESOP was the first ESOP and was
conducted with a view of encouraging employee ownership and participation. This is not considered a privatisation,
as control still remains with the State.
16
The determination of the price of G$200 M for 30% of the shares of New GPC was based on the approval of the
Privatisation Board and Cabinet; the price was determined after considering a loss in 2000 and the assumption by
New GPC of G$81 M more in liabilities than anticipated at privatisation; the pro-rated price of the shares to the
original sale price was G$238 M—however, when adjusted for the pro-rated loss of 2000 and the increase in
liabilities, a downward reduction of G$45 M was arrived at yielding a price of G$192 M for the 30% share value; the
sale price was set at G$200 M. This type of adjustment is not unusual when dealing with the sale of shares, given
that the working capital position is constantly changing and can only be known after the date of privatisation. Other
examples where this principle has been applied include GSL, GEC, NBIC, Linmine, and AMC, to name a few.

For this case, the sale price was based on a discounted value of the rent under a lease contract and the discounted
value of the valuation at the end of the lease (including the value of development works). The valuation excluding
development works carried out by the Lessee was determined to be G$165 M for app 6 acres of land.
62
After being advertised for sale, no proposals were received. In the mid-2007, a proposal was received from QAII for
the development of the compound with a US$27M investment plan. The proposal was for a lease with an option to
purchase. At the time of the proposal NICIL was facing continued vandalism and destruction to the property despite
the presence of security. In 2007, following the requisite approvals a lease was issued and in 2010 having satisfied
the conditions precedent to the exercise of the option to purchase, the property was sold at the current market
valuation of the property before the improvements were implemented.

The highest bidder withdrew his bid after an award of tender was made to him. The third highest bidder was
chosen over the second highest bidder because of the expansion plans of the third bidder who also owned the
adjacent property. The second highest bidder had no plans for the development or use of the building. Bidders were
requested to provide a development plan on the submission of tender.
65 st nd
Sold to third highest bidder. 1 and 2 highest bidders withdrawn or non-commitment to purchase.
66
Third bidder was selected after withdrawal of 1st highest bidder given the submission of its detailed development
plan for the setting up of its banking headquarters. The 2nd highest bidder had submitted a half page narrative with
no details of its serious business intentions or proof of financing. This matter is currently engaging the attention of
the Courts.
67
The property was advertised and the highest bidder failed to provide any financial commitment or proof of his
ability to purchase and develop the land. Following the passage of time, the property was later sold with
negotitations to Multicinemas Guyana Inc. for the establishment of a modern state-of-the art entertainment complex
with multiplex cinemas that will result in job creation, increase revenue from taxes and provide social medium for
Guyanese. Value received was higher than the current market value and the highest bid receive earlier.

Cases where property was not advertised but sold GOG owned entities:
i. 248-252 Kara Kara Linden – sold to NICIL from PHI based on valuation. NICIL had assumed the
overall management of the PHI owned properties after the privatization of GSL, as the majority
shareholder in PHI. Large capital investments were undertaken by NICIL as part of a Government
policy to encourage the creation of jobs in the Linden area.
ii. Lot 18 Lamaha St. – this property was sold to NICIL after large capital works were undertaken and
paid for by NICIL.
iii. 304-305 East St. – This property has been and continues to be occupied by the Ministry of Health at
no rental value which resulted in a disadvantage to the minority shareholders. As a consequence it
was sold/transferred to NICIL for a value.
iv. 16-18 a.k.a 17-19 Lombard St. – This property was renovated by NICIL for use as the Supreme
Court Bond (GoG) with no real rental return in value. As a consequence, the property was
purchased by the majority shareholder from PHI for value.
v. Tract A Young St (building) – the building (former GSL Sports Club) was transferred to Property
Holdings Inc. prior to the privatisation of Guyana Stores Ltd. The majority shareholder NICIL
purchased this building at a current market valuation prepared by a private property valuator. The
property was later advertised for sale by public tender.
