East Africa Portland Cement Company (EAPCC) says it has completed the settlement of KCB’s Sh6.8 billion loan via land transfers to the lender, cutting its finance costs by Sh735 million in the year ended June.

The cement maker has been looking to dispose of some of its extensive land holdings in Athi River to fund a restructuring of its balance sheet --mainly to pay debt and bridge a working capital deficit.
