Press Release
Update to Phase 3 of Share Buyback Programme
On 25 April 2018, CRH plc announced its intention to repurchase
ordinary shares of up to €1 billion over the next 12 months.
CRH announced on 20 November 2018 the commencement of a programme
to repurchase ordinary shares for a maximum consideration of
€100 million (the "Phase 3 Programme").
CRH today announces that it has entered into non-discretionary
instructions with Merrill Lynch International to conduct the Phase
3 Programme on its behalf and to make trading decisions under the
Phase 3 Programme independently of CRH in accordance with certain
pre-set parameters. The other details of the Phase 3 Programme
which were announced on 20 November 2018 remain
unchanged.
This announcement relates solely to the Phase 3 Programme and any
decision in relation to any future buyback programmes will be based
on an ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business and
general market conditions.
