Dematerialization
Dematerialization of Preference Shares
For Holders of CRH’s 7% “A” Cumulative Preference Shares and 5% Cumulative Preference Shares (together the “Preference Shares”).
On January 1, 2025, new rules came into effect in Irish law that require the ownership of securities issued by Irish public listed companies to be evidenced by an electronic book-entry record system rather than by physical share certificates. As a result of this industry wide change, which is known as Dematerialisation, all share certificates held by the holders of CRH’s Preference Shares ceased to be valid on that date.
Other than share certificates ceasing to be valid and ownership of the Preference Shares instead being evidenced by an electronic book-entry record, there will be no changes to holdings of Preference Shares following Dematerialization. Shareholders do not need to take any action, including in relation to the arrangements for dividend payments on Preference Shares.
