CRH plc announces that yesterday, 17^th December 2019, it cancelled 43,750,000 Ordinary Shares* previously held by it as treasury shares.  The Ordinary Shares so cancelled represented 5.18% of the issued share capital of CRH plc.  Ordinary Shares held in treasury do not have any voting rights.

Following the above cancellations, as at the date of this announcement, CRH plc's issued share capital is as follows:

7% 'A' Cumulative Preference Shares of €1.27 each	872,000	None of which are held in treasury
5% Cumulative Preference Shares of €1.27 each	50,000	None of which are held in treasury

As none of the Income Shares or Preference Shares have voting rights, the total number of voting rights as at the date of this notice is, therefore, 789,608,053.  This figure, 789,608,053, may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, CRH plc under the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 (as amended) (the "Irish Transparency Regulations") and the Transparency Rules.
