Privately-owned Ukrainian coal and energy company DTEK said Thursday it has made a second repayment of $18.75 million, principal and interest, on its $150 million international syndicated loan.

Barclays Capital and Standard Bank PLC were the syndicate arrangers for DTEK's first syndicated loan, which was taken out in 2008 for a term of two years, with a possible extension of one year.

DTEK is part of the financial and industrial group System Capital Management, or SCM, owned by Ukrainian billionaire Rinat Akhmetov.
