Notes on completing proxy form:

• 1. If it is desired to appoint another person as proxy the words "the duly appointed Chairman of the Meeting" should be deleted and the name of the proxy, who need not be a Shareholder of the Company, inserted instead. A Shareholder may appoint one or more proxies. If you would like to appoint more than one proxy, please contact the Company's Registrars, Capita Asset Services, Shareholder solutions (Ireland) (Tel +353 1 553 0050) to receive an additional proxy form. Please note that proxies may be asked to present identification.
• 2. A copy of the notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting and the accompanying Shareholder Circular are available on the CRH website, www.crh.com.
• 3. Please indicate how you wish your proxy to vote by placing an "x" in the appropriate box. A proxy is required to vote in accordance with any instructions given to him/her. The Vote Withheld option is provided to enable you to abstain if you so wish. 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 Asset Services, Shareholder Solutions (Ireland), at P.O. Box 7117, Dublin 2 (if delivered by post) or at 2 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2 (if delivered by hand) not later than 9.30 a.m. on 17th March 2015. A proxy may also be appointed electronically as explained overleaf.
• 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 overleaf. 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. Where the appointer is a body corporate this form must be under seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney.
• 7. In joint accounts the names of all joint holders should be stated. However, the vote of the senior shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other registered holders of the shares and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members.
• 8. The return of a proxy form will not preclude any member from attending the Meeting, speaking, asking questions and voting in person should he/she wish to do so.
• 9. During the meeting, Shareholders (or their duly appointed proxies) may not use cameras, smart phones or other audio, video or electronic recording devices, unless expressly authorised by the Chairman of the meeting. This prohibition shall not apply to equipment being used by the Company for the purpose of projecting the meeting onto screens during the meeting or to photographs taken by accredited press photographers admitted to the meeting.
