Cancellation of Shares and Total Voting Rights
CRH plc announces that on Friday, 18th December
2020, it cancelled 4,500,000 Ordinary Shares* previously held by it
as treasury shares. The Ordinary Shares so cancelled
represented 0.56% of the issued share capital of CRH plc.
Ordinary Shares held in treasury do not have any voting
rights.
Following the above cancellations, as at the date of this
announcement, CRH plc's issued share capital is as
follows:
Ordinary Shares of €0.32
each
|
795,140,338
|
10,089,207

|
None of

|
5%
Cumulative Preference Shares of €1.27 each
|
50,000
|
None of

As none of the Income Shares or Preference Shares have voting
rights, the total number of voting rights as at the date of this
notice is, therefore, 785,051,131. This figure,
785,051,131, may be used by shareholders as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest
in, CRH plc under the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC)
Regulations 2007 (as amended) (the "Irish Transparency
Regulations") and the Transparency Rules.
This announcement is made in accordance with Rule 12.6 of the UK
Listing Rules and the Irish Transparency Regulations.
