“The Company participates in a Tarmac wide zero balancing cash pool arrangement with CRH (UK) Limited. Each company participating in the cash pooling arrangement has cash automatically swept to/from its account on a daily basis so that the balance reverts to zero at the end of each day. For all companies within the Tarmac group, cash is swept to/from CRH (UK) Limited and balances are interest bearing.”
