SCRIP DIVIDEND OFFER IN RESPECT OF THE FINAL DIVIDEND OF 44.0

CENT PER SHARE TO BE PAID ON 13th MAY 2013

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 13th May 2013 , subject to the approval of the dividend at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 8th May 2013 .

The price of one New Share will be €17 . 01 . Accordingly, your entitlement will be one New Share for every 48.323864 Ordinary Shares held where dividend withholding tax applies and for every 38.659091 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 , which can be accessed by selecting “Dividends” under “Equity Investors” in the Investor section of the CRH website, www.crh.com. 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 document which summarises the likely tax consequences .

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 ,

N. Hartery

Chairman

PARTICULARS OF THE SCRIP DIVIDEND OFFER IN RESPECT OF THE FINAL DIVIDEND FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2012

1. Basis of Calculation

Shareholders on the Register on 8th March 2013, 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 €17 . 01 . In accordance with the Articles of Association, the value of a New Share has been calculated by reference to the average of the high and low share prices for the Ordinary Shares as derived from the Irish Stock Exchange Daily Official List for each of the three business days commencing on 6th March 2013, being the day on which the Ordinary Shares were first quoted ex- dividend*. The entitlement is one New Share for every 48.323864 Ordinary Shares held where dividend withholding tax applies and for every 38.659091 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 U.K. Listing Authority and the Irish Stock Exchange and (b) trading on the London Stock Exchange’s market for listed securities and the Main Securities Market of the Irish Stock Exchange. 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 18,804,003

New Shares would be issued (ignoring any reductions in respect of dividend withholding tax) representing an increase of 2.59% 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 €319 , 856 , 093 .

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 25th April 2013 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 2012 final dividend the latest time and date is 12 noon on 25th April 2013.

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 6th March 2013 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.

Notes

(1)	The final dividend, if approved, will be paid on the Ordinary Shares on 13 May 2013 to persons who were registered as shareholders at the close of business on 8 March 2013.
(2)	Resolution 3 is an advisory resolution and is not binding on the Company.
(3)	In accordance with the provisions of the U.K. Corporate Governance Code, all Directors retire and offer themselves for re-election. Biographical details for each Director are set out on pages 11, 36 and 37 in the 2012 Annual Report.
(4)	Resolution 5 authorises the Directors to fix the remuneration of the Auditors. Section 162(2) of the Companies Act, 1963 provides that the auditor of an Irish company shall be automatically re-appointed at a company’s annual general meeting unless the auditor has given notice in writing of his unwillingness to be re-appointed or a resolution has been passed at that meeting appointing someone else or providing expressly that the incumbent auditor shall not be re-appointed. The Auditors, Ernst & Young, Chartered Accountants, are willing to continue in office and, accordingly, will be automatically re-appointed at the conclusion of the 2013 Annual General Meeting.
(5)	Resolution 6 proposes to renew the Directors’ authority to dis-apply statutory pre-emption rights in relation to allotments of shares up to a maximum of 5% of the issued Ordinary/Income share capital of the Company at 25 February 2013. This limit is in accordance with generally accepted best practice. The Directors intend to follow the Pre-Emption Group’s Statement of Principles in that allotments of shares for cash and the re-issue of Treasury Shares on a non pre-emptive basis, other than for rights issues to ordinary shareholders and employee share schemes, will not exceed 7.5% of the issued Ordinary/Income share capital within a rolling three year period without prior consultation with shareholders.
(6)	Any member entitled to attend, speak, ask questions and vote at this Meeting may exercise his or her right to vote by appointing one or more proxies. A member may appoint the Chairman or another person, who need not be a member(s) of the Company, as a proxy, by electronic means or in writing, to vote some or all of their shares. A proxy form is enclosed. Appointment of a proxy does not preclude a member from attending, speaking and asking questions at the meeting should they subsequently wish to do so.
(7)	To be valid, proxy forms must be delivered in writing, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed or a certified copy thereof, to the Company’s Registrar, Capita Registrars (Ireland) Limited (“Capita Registrars”), to P.O. Box 7117, Dublin 2 (if delivered by post) or to 2 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2 (if delivered by hand), not later than 11.00 a.m. on Monday, 6 May 2013.

(8)	CREST members may appoint one or more proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual.

Further information on CREST procedures and requirements is contained in the CREST Manual. The message appointing a proxy(ies) must be received by the Registrar (ID 7RA08) not later than 11.00 a.m. on Monday, 6 May 2013. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the Registrar is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Companies Act, 1990 (Uncertificated Securities) Regulations, 1996.
(9)	ADR holders wishing to attend the meeting must obtain a proxy form from The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY), which will enable them to attend and vote on the business to be transacted. ADR holders may instruct BNY as to the way in which the shares represented by their ADRs should be voted by completing and returning the voting card provided by BNY in accordance with the instructions given.
(10)	Pursuant to Section 134A of the Companies Act, 1963 and Regulation 14 of the Companies Act, 1990 (Uncertificated Securities) Regulations, 1996, the Company hereby specifies that only those shareholders registered in the Register of Members of the Company as at 6.00 p.m. on Monday, 6 May 2013 shall be entitled to attend, speak, ask questions and vote at the Annual General Meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time.
(11)	Pursuant to Section 133B(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 1963 and subject to any contrary provision in company law, shareholders, holding at least 3% of the Company’s issued share capital, or at least 3% of the voting rights, have the right to put an item on the agenda, or table a draft resolution for an item on the agenda, of a general meeting.
