NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING & CLASS MEETINGS
Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM")
An EGM of the Company will be held at Stonemason's Way, Dublin
16, Ireland on Tuesday, 9(th) February 2021 at 11.00 a.m. in order
for shareholders to consider, and if deemed appropriate, approve
certain resolutions required to facilitate the migration of the
Company's shares currently held electronically in the UK-based
CREST settlement system to the Belgian-based Euroclear Bank SA/NV
system (the "Migration").
As a result of the withdrawal of the UK from the EU, the CREST
settlement system will soon no longer be able to provide settlement
services to Irish incorporated listed companies. Approval of the
resolutions is, therefore, necessary to ensure that the Company's
shares can continue to be held and settled electronically when they
are traded on the London Stock Exchange and Euronext Dublin and
remain eligible for continued admission to trading and listing on
those exchanges.
In addition to seeking approval for the Migration, authority is
being sought from shareholders to approve the simplification of
CRH's share capital by the surrender and cancellation of the Income
Shares.
A shareholder circular (the "Circular"), which sets out details
of the proposed business of the EGM, has been published by the
Company, together with the EGM Notice and a Form of Proxy
(together, the "EGM Documents"). Copies of the EGM Documents will
be posted to shareholders today.
Copies of the EGM Documents are available on the Company's
website, www.crh.com/investors/shareholder-centre , together with
copies of the documents referred to in the Circular.
Shareholders should read the Circular in its entirety, including
the documents referred to therein, and consider whether or not to
vote in favour of the Resolutions in light of the information
contained in the Circular.
Class Meetings
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association,
separate class meetings will also be held in respect of the
Company's 5% Cumulative Preference Shares and 7% "A" Cumulative
Preference Shares at Stonemason's Way, Dublin 16, Ireland on
Tuesday, 9(th) February 2021 at 12.00 p.m. and 12.30 p.m.
respectively in order for preference shareholders to consider, and
if deemed appropriate, approve any changes in the rights of
preference shareholders resulting from the Migration. Notices
convening the class meetings have been posted to relevant
shareholders today, together with the relevant Forms of Proxy
(together, the "Class Meeting Documents").
Copies of the Class Meeting Documents are also available on the
Company's website, www.crh.com/investors/shareholder-centre .
COVID-19 / Meeting Arrangements
The well-being of CRH's shareholders and other stakeholders is a
primary concern for the CRH Board.
We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and any advice
by the Government of Ireland in relation to the pandemic. We will
take all recommendations and applicable law into account in the
arrangements for the holding of the EGM. If the current (or
similarly more extensive) restrictions relating to COVID-19 are in
force at the time of the EGM, the Company will be required to hold
the EGM as a closed meeting (i.e. not generally open to the
public). The CRH Board encourages all shareholders to vote by proxy
by appointing the chairman of the meeting as their proxy to vote on
their behalf. If you appoint someone other than the chairman of the
meeting to be your proxy, that person is unlikely to be able to
attend the EGM if the prevailing COVID-19 measures require the
Company to conduct the EGM as a closed meeting.
Continued shareholder engagement remains important to the CRH
Board and, accordingly , a live audio-cast of the EGM will be made
available to shareholders, who will also have the facility to
submit questions remotely.
Detailed instructions on proxy voting and how to access the
audio-cast are set out in the relevant notices.
The Company continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 and any
relevant updates regarding the
EGM, including any changes to the arrangements outlined in this
Circular, will be available on
www.crh.com/investors/shareholder-centre .
