For the purposes of Section 1373(4), the Directors' Report for the year ended 31 December 2021 includes the Governance Appendix (available on the CRH website, www.crh.com), a copy of which will be appended to the Directors' Report laid before the 2022 Annual General Meeting for consideration by Shareholders.
• 1. If it is desired to appoint another person as proxy, the words "the 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, Link Registrars Limited (Tel +353 1 553 0050), to receive an additional Proxy Form. Please note that proxies may be asked to present identification.

• 1. 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 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 proposed during the meeting, the proxy will vote as he/she thinks fit or abstain from voting.
• 1. This Proxy Form 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, Link Registrars Limited, PO Box 1110, Maynooth, Co Kildare, Ireland (if delivered by post) or at Link Registrars Limited, Block C, Maynooth Business Campus, Maynooth, Co.

A proxy may also be appointed by shareholders electronically as explained overleaf.
• 1. 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.
• 1. Where the appointer is a body corporate this form must be under seal or signed by a duly authorised officer or attorney of the body corporate.
• 1. Where there are joint holders, 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.
• 1. Should registered Shareholders (or their duly appointed proxies) attend in person, they may not use cameras, smart phones or other audio, video or electronic recording devices, unless expressly authorised by the Chairman of the Meeting.
• 1. Only those members registered in the Register of Members of the Company at 7.00 p.m. (Irish time) on 24 April 2022 or if the AGM is adjourned, at the close of business 4 days before the time appointed for the adjourned meeting shall be entitled to attend, speak, ask questions and in respect of the number of shares registered in their name, vote at the meeting, or if relevant, any adjournment thereof.
