Summary
This 8-K filing from CRH Public Limited Company reports on transactions by several Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility (PDMR) involving the acquisition of ordinary shares under an employee share participation scheme. These transactions occurred on March 8, 2006, and were notified to the company on the same date, with the official filing made on March 10, 2006. The acquisitions were made at a price of EUR26.64 per share. Investors should note that these are not open market purchases but rather structured acquisitions through an employee benefit program.
