CRH Announces Total Consideration for the Cash Tender Offers

CRH plc (“CRH”) announced today the Reference Yield, the Total Consideration and the Tender Offer Consideration for each series of Notes subject to the previously announced cash tender offers (the “Tender Offer”) by CRH and its wholly owned subsidiary, CRH America, Inc. (“CRH America”), whereby (a) CRH America is offering to purchase, subject to certain conditions, up to $750 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 6.95% Notes due 2012, the outstanding 5.625% Notes due 2011 and the outstanding 5.30% Notes due 2013 (up to a $50 million purchase sublimit) and (b) CRH is offering to purchase up to $50 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 6.40% Notes due 2033. The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in the Offer to Purchase dated November 30, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) that were distributed to Holders of the Notes.

The Reference Yield for the Tender Offer was determined at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, today. The Total Consideration and the Tender Offer Consideration for each series of the Notes are based on the Reference Yield plus the Fixed Spread as set forth in the table below.

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

(2)	Assumed settlement date of December 14, 2010.

(3)	Assumed settlement date of December 29, 2010.

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 28, 2010, unless extended or earlier terminated.

Holders of Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes 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, 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 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time may not be validly withdrawn, unless otherwise required by law.

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 is expected to be made on December 14, 2010, 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 Tender Offer 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 Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

CRH America’s and CRH’s respective obligations to accept any Notes tendered and to pay the Total Consideration or the Tender Offer Consideration, as the case may be, are set forth solely in the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal.

CRH America and CRH may each amend, extend or terminate the Tender Offer at any time in their sole discretion.

Morgan Securities LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays Capital Inc. and RBS Securities Inc. to serve as dealer managers for the Tender Offer. D.F.
