| 31st March 2011 To the holders of Ordinary Shares. SCRIP DIVIDEND OFFER IN RESPECT OF THE FINAL DIVIDEND OF 44.0 CENT PER SHARE TO BE PAID ON
9th MAY 2011 Dear Shareholder, The choice of taking New Shares rather than cash is again being offered to
Shareholders in respect of the final dividend of 44.0 cent per share to be paid on the Ordinary Shares on 9th May 2011, subject to the approval of the dividend at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 4th May 2011. The price of one New Share will be € 15.35. Accordingly, your entitlement will be one New Share for every 43.607955 Ordinary Shares held where dividend withholding tax applies and
for every 34.886364 Ordinary Shares held where the withholding tax does not apply. Details of the calculation of the price of a New Share are set out overleaf under “Basis of Calculation”. The opportunity to receive New Shares instead of a cash dividend
enables Shareholders to increase their shareholding in CRH without incurring dealing costs or stamp duty. The offer is made under the Terms and Conditions of the Scrip Dividend Scheme, as set out in a booklet dated September 2002, which has been sent to
all Shareholders. You are advised to consider carefully the Terms and Conditions before making a decision. In particular, your attention is drawn to Section 3 of the booklet which summarises the likely tax consequences. If you require an
additional copy of the booklet please contact Capita Registrars (Ireland) Limited at +353 1 8102400. Full details of the options available and the action to be taken are set out in the enclosed Election and Mandate Form or Notice of
Entitlement. | ● |
| Yours faithfully, K. McGowan Chairman | Registered in Dublin No. 12965 — DIRECTORS: K. McGowan Chairman M. Lee Chief
Executive M.C. Carton W.P. Egan (USA) U-H. Felcht (German) N. Hartery J.M. de Jong (Dutch) J.W. Kennedy A. Manifold D.N. O’Connor J.M.C. O’Connor W.I. O’Mahony M.S. Towe (USA) Secretary N. Colgan |

PARTICULARS OF THE SCRIP DIVIDEND OFFER IN RESPECT OF THE FINAL DIVIDEND FOR THE

YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2010

1. Basis of Calculation

Shareholders on the Register on 11th March 2011, the Record Date, will be entitled to participate in the Scrip Dividend Offer based on their holding of Ordinary Shares at that date.

The entitlement to New Shares has been calculated on the basis of the final dividend of 44.0 cent per Ordinary Share and a value for each New Share of € 15.35. The value of a New Share has been calculated by reference to the average of the middle market quotations for the Ordinary Shares as derived from the Irish Stock Exchange Daily Official List for each of the three business days commencing on 9th March 2011, being the day on which the Ordinary Shares were first quoted ex-dividend. The entitlement is one New Share for every 43.607955 Ordinary Shares held where dividend withholding tax applies and for every 34.886364 Ordinary Shares held where the withholding tax does not apply.

Fractions of a New Share will not be allotted. An election to receive New Shares which gives rise to a fractional entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole New Share.

The Scrip Dividend Offer is subject to admission, for which application will be made, of the New Shares to (a) the Official Lists of the Irish Stock Exchange and the U.K. Listing Authority and (b) trading on the Main Securities Market of the Irish Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange’s market for listed securities. The New Shares will, on issue, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares and will be entitled to rank for all subsequent dividends. Such shares may be held in certificated or uncertificated form.

If, in respect of the final dividend, all Shareholders entitled thereto elected to receive New Shares instead of cash, a total of 20,333,091 New Shares would be issued (ignoring any reductions in respect of dividend withholding tax) representing an increase of 2.87% in the Company’s existing issued Ordinary Share Capital (excluding Treasury Shares). If all Shareholders elected to receive cash the amount payable by the Company would be € 312,112,958.96.

1. Mandate Scheme

A Mandate may only be given in respect of all and not part of a shareholding. Once a Mandate is effected, it will apply to all subsequently acquired Ordinary Shares, including future New Shares acquired, until revoked in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.

Completed Election and Mandate Forms must be received by Capita Registrars (Ireland) Limited by 12 noon on 21st April 2011 in order to effect a Mandate in respect of future Scrip Dividend Offers.

Shareholders with a Mandate in place will be notified in writing of each Scrip Dividend Offer and will receive a Notice of Entitlement setting out details of their entitlement to New Shares.

A notice of revocation of a Mandate will take effect from date of receipt by Capita Registrars (Ireland) Limited, save in respect of a particular Scrip Dividend Offer where it is received after the final date for receipt of such for that dividend, in which case it will apply in respect of all subsequent Scrip Dividend Offers. In the case of the 2010 final dividend the latest time and date is 12 noon on 21st April 2011.

1. If you have sold or transferred Ordinary Shares

If you have sold or transferred all or part of your registered holding of Ordinary Shares prior to 9th March 2011 and those shares are nonetheless included in the number of shares stated in Box A on the Election and Mandate Form or Notice of Entitlement you should immediately consult your stockbroker, bank or other agent through or by whom the sale or transfer was effected.

2. Details in relation to Directors retiring at the 2011 Annual General Meeting and seeking re-election are set out in the Chairman’s Statement and the Directors’ Report in the 2010 Annual Report.

The Vote Withheld option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. It should be noted, however, that it is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against the resolution. Unless otherwise directed, and in respect of any other resolutions moved during the Meeting, the proxy will vote as he/she thinks fit or abstain from voting.

4. This form of proxy together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a certified copy thereof must be received by the Company’s Registrars, Capita Registrars (Ireland) Limited, either electronically or to P.O.

5. If a proxy is not to have the authority to vote all shares registered in the name of the Shareholder, the Shareholder should specify the number of shares which may be voted by the proxy, where indicated above. Where the number of shares is not inserted, a proxy will be deemed to have authority to vote all of the shares registered in the Shareholder’s name.

6. A Shareholder wishing to appoint a proxy by electronic means may do so by accessing either CRH’s website, www.crh.com, and selecting “Registrars” under “Shareholder Services” in the Investor Relations section or by accessing the Registrars’ website, www.capitaregistrars.ie and selecting “login to Shareholder Services” under “Online Services”.
