Sources said HSBC Bank will contribute EGP 270 million, NSGB will contribute EGP 250 million and Piraeus Bank will contribute EGP 150 million to the five-year term loan.
The company had earlier received five-year term revolving credit facilities of EGP 700 million in June 2008 from the same consortium.
Greece’s Titan Group and France’s Lafarge Group acquired in 2002 a controlling stake in Alexandria Portland Cement Company which owns 100% of Beni Suef Cement Company’s capital shares.
