What Happened
Johan Karlstrom, a director of CRH plc (CRH), received/converted restricted share units (RSUs) on 2026-05-13. The filing shows an exercise/conversion that resulted in 2,004 ordinary shares being acquired (reported at $0.00 exercise price), a grant/award of 1,556 RSUs, and a withholding of 962 shares to cover tax liabilities (962 shares x $108.75 = $104,618). One additional derivative-related line reports 1,976 shares as disposed (reported N/A).

Context
These transactions are compensation-related (RSU grant/conversion) rather than an open-market buy or voluntary sale. The withholding of 962 shares to cover taxes is routine for RSU vesting. Codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative; A = award/grant; F = withholding for tax liability. For retail investors, such filings indicate insider compensation activity (receipt/conversion of equity) rather than a directional trade signal.
