Re: Publication of Circular, Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and Form of Proxy (the "Documents")
Further to its announcement made on 2nd February 2015, the Company has today issued a shareholder circular (the "Circular") in relation to the proposed acquisition of certain assets being disposed of by Lafarge S.A. and Holcim Ltd in advance of their intended merger (the "Acquisition").
The Acquisition is subject to and conditional upon the approval of the Company's shareholders, and accordingly, the Circular contains a notice convening an extraordinary general meeting (the "EGM"), at which such approval will be sought. The EGM will be held at the Clyde Court Hotel, Lansdowne Road, Dublin 4, Ireland at 9.30 a.m. on 19th March 2015.
Copies of the Documents will be posted to shareholders, save for shareholders who have consented to receive communications by electronic means, who will receive hard copies of the notice of the EGM and form of proxy only; shareholders who have requested to receive all communications by email will receive a form of proxy only. Copies of the Documents are available on the Company's website, www.crh.com and have also been submitted to the U.K. National Storage Mechanism and to the Irish Stock Exchange, where they will shortly be available for inspection at:
