Ireland: CRH has announced plans to delist its ordinary shares and 7% preference shares from the London Stock Exchange following a review of trading activity costs and regulatory obligations arising from maintaining the shares. The company requested the UK Financial Conduct Authority to cancel the listings and expects the delisting to take effect on 20 April 2026, with the last day of trading on 17 April 2026.
CRH’s primary listing has been on the New York Stock Exchange since September 2023 and, following the delisting, its ordinary shares will be listed solely on the NYSE. The company also plans to cancel its 5% and 7% preference shares, subject to shareholder approval. The proposed cancellations would be in exchange for a cash payment of an amount equal to 40 times the annual dividend per preference share. The cancellations are expected to become effective in mid-2026.
