(1)	Per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes that are accepted for purchase.

(2)	Eligible for early settlement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

The Tender Offer consists of four separate Offers on the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase, with three Offers by CRH America (the “CRH America Offers”) to purchase up to US$750,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “CRH America Tender Cap”) of the outstanding 6.95% Notes due 2012, the outstanding 5.625% Notes due 2011 and the outstanding 5.30% Notes due 2013, provided that the purchase of the outstanding 5.30% Notes due 2013 will be subject to an aggregate purchase sublimit of US$50,000,000 (the “Maximum Purchase Sublimit”) and with one Offer by CRH to purchase up to US$50,000,000 (the “CRH Tender Cap”, and together with the CRH America Tender Cap, the “Tender Caps”, and each, a “Tender Cap”) of the outstanding 6.40% Notes due 2033 (the “CRH Offer”).

None of the Offers is conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered or the consummation of the other Offers and each Offer may be amended, extended or terminated individually. CRH America will apply the CRH America Tender Cap first to purchase the outstanding 6.95% Notes due 2012, and second, to the extent any amount remains, to purchase the outstanding 5.625% Notes due 2011 and third, to the extent any amount remains, CRH America will apply the balance to purchase up to an aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.30% Notes due 2013 equal to the lesser of (i) the remaining CRH America Tender Cap and (ii) the Maximum Purchase Sublimit, subject, in each case, to proration as applicable. The amounts of each Series of Notes that are purchased in the CRH America Offers and CRH Offer may be prorated as set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

The Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 28, 2010, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). Holders of Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 13, 2010, unless extended (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Time”) to receive the Total Consideration (as defined below), which includes an early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time will only be eligible to receive the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium (the

“Tender Offer Consideration”). Notes tendered before the Early Tender Time may be validly withdrawn at any time at or before the Early Tender Time, but not thereafter unless otherwise required by law. Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time may not be validly withdrawn, unless otherwise required by law. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, CRH America expects to accept and purchase, promptly after the Early Tender Time, a portion of the 6.95% Notes due 2012 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before to the Early Tender Time as set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

Payment of the Total Consideration or the Tender Offer Consideration, as the case may be, to Holders of Notes that are accepted for purchase is expected to be made on December 29, 2010 (the “Final Settlement Date”), other than the portion of 6.95% Notes due 2012 which are accepted for purchase, and for which payment will be made, promptly after the Early Tender Time, as described further in the Offer to Purchase (such date, the “Early Settlement Date”; each of the Early Settlement Date and the Final Settlement Date, a “Settlement Date”). Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes and whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Offers will also be paid on the applicable Settlement Date accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date up to, but excluding, the applicable Settlement Date.

The “Total Consideration” for each Series per each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offers will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to a fixed spread, specified for the Series over the yield based on the bid side price of the U.S. Treasury Security specified on the front cover of the Offer to Purchase, as calculated by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and RBS Securities Inc. at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 13, 2010 (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Offer to Purchase).

The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including, in the case of the CRH America Offers, the consummation by CRH America of a public offering of no less than US$750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior debt securities that closes no later than the Expiration Time on terms reasonably satisfactory to CRH America, as described in the Offer to Purchase.

CRH America and CRH have retained J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and RBS Securities Inc. to serve as dealer managers for the Tender Offer. D.F. King & Co., Inc. has been retained to serve as the information and tender agent.
