Frequently Asked Questions

This filing is a Form 6-K, which CRH, as a foreign private issuer, uses to report information that is required by its home country's regulations or that it makes public in its home country. In this case, it's to disclose the total number of voting rights and capital structure as of June 30, 2023, in compliance with EU Transparency Regulations.

The total voting rights figure (728,320,721) is important because it is used by shareholders as the denominator to calculate their percentage of voting rights. If a shareholder's interest in CRH, or a change in their interest, crosses certain thresholds defined by the Transparency Regulations, they are required to notify the company and/or regulatory bodies.

The filing confirms the number of shares outstanding and treasury shares as of June 30, 2023. While it reflects the current capital structure, it does not explicitly detail recent issuances or buybacks beyond what is captured in the treasury share count and shares in issue. For detailed transaction history, investors should refer to other filings or company reports.

Treasury shares are shares that a company has repurchased from the open market but has not yet cancelled. These shares do not carry voting rights and are not included in the calculation of total voting rights. CRH holds 23,819,617 treasury shares as of June 30, 2023, which is why the total voting rights (728,320,721) are less than the total ordinary shares in issue (752,140,338).
