Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this Form 6-K filing is to update CRH's total voting rights and issued share capital as of November 30, 2023. This information is crucial for shareholders to accurately determine if their holdings require notification to regulatory bodies under the UK's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

As of November 30, 2023, CRH has a total of 697,834,893 voting rights. This is calculated after deducting the treasury shares from the total issued ordinary shares.

The number of treasury shares is important because they do not carry voting rights. Subtracting them from the total issued shares gives the actual number of voting rights, which is the figure shareholders use to assess their percentage of ownership and any notification obligations.

The DTR are regulations set by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority that require investors to disclose their significant holdings (usually above a certain percentage) in publicly traded companies. CRH is providing the total voting rights figure (the denominator) so shareholders can easily calculate if their stake crosses these notification thresholds.
