The company said on Wednesday that repayment is to take place today, while earlier repayment was scheduled to take place quarterly between 2020 and 2022.
Early repayment of this facility reflects the strong performance of the group’s operations, including recent growth in both the group’s production volumes and product quality, following the recent completion of investments throughout the group’s operations, representing prudent cash management practice.
