CRH Continues Share Buyback Programme
Press Release
CRH
Continues Share Buyback
Programme
CRH plc, the leading building
materials business in the world, is pleased to announce that it has
completed the latest phase of its share buyback programme,
returning a further $0.3 billion of cash to
shareholders.
Between
30 June and 27 September 2021, 6.0 million ordinary shares were
repurchased on Euronext Dublin at an average discount of 0.91% to
the volume weighted average price over the period.
This
brings total cash returned to shareholders under our ongoing share
buyback programme to $2.6 billion since its commencement in May
2018.
CRH
today also announces that it has entered into
arrangements with UBS A.G.,
London Branch ("UBS") to repurchase ordinary shares on CRH's behalf
for a consideration of up to $300 million (the "Buyback"). The
Buyback will commence today, 30
September 2021, and
will end no later than 23 December 2021.
Under
the terms of the Buyback, ordinary shares will be repurchased on
Euronext Dublin. CRH has entered into non-discretionary
instructions with UBS, acting as principal, to conduct the Buyback
on CRH's behalf and to make trading decisions under the Buyback
independently of CRH in accordance with certain pre-set
parameters.
The
purpose of the Buyback is to reduce the share capital of CRH and it
will be conducted within the limitations of the authority granted
at CRH's AGM on 29 April 2021 to repurchase up to 10% of the
Company's ordinary shares in issue (being 60,675,125 ordinary
shares following the completion of the latest phase of the buyback
programme).
The
Buyback will also be conducted within the parameters prescribed by
the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (also as in force in the UK, from time to
time, including, where relevant, pursuant to the UK's Market Abuse
(Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019) and Chapter 12 of the UK
Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules. The repurchased
ordinary shares will be held in treasury pending their cancellation
or re-issue in due course.
Any
decision in relation to any future buyback programmes will be based
on an ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business and
general market conditions.
