CRH plc ("CRH") Announces Redemption of Bonds Issued by CRH
America, Inc.
CRH
today is announcing that its wholly owned subsidiary, CRH America,
Inc. ("CRH America"), will exercise its option to redeem in full
the entire outstanding principal amount of its 8.125% Guaranteed
Notes due 2018 (CUSIP: 12626P AJ2; ISIN: US12626PAJ21), of
which $287,870,000 aggregate principal amount is outstanding (the
"Notes"), on April 27, 2018 (the "Redemption Date").
The
Notes will be redeemed in full on the Redemption Date at a
make-whole redemption price in an amount equal to the greater of
(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and
(ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled
Payments discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, together with, in each case,
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2018
Notes to be redeemed to the Redemption Date. The
Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day
preceding the Redemption Date. Such redemption is pursuant to the
terms of the Notes and the Indenture, dated as of March 20, 2002
(the "Indenture"), among CRH America, CRH plc, as Guarantor (the
"Guarantor"), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor trustee
to JP Morgan Chase Bank (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the terms of the Notes and the
Indenture.
The
Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the
Redemption Price, which shall be paid together with accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, upon surrender of
the redeemed 2018 Notes to the Trustee, as Paying Agent by hand or
