| Notes |
Cynthia Carroll, chief executive of mining group Anglo American, on Friday launched the sale of Tarmac, its UK-based building materials business.
Tarmac, which is expected to attract bids of at least $6bn (£3bn), is thought to have attracted interest from potential trade buyers including Orascom Construction Industries, Lafarge and Cemex, as well as private equity groups. Holcim of Switzerland and CRH of Ireland could also take part in the auction.
