Explanatory Note

CRH public limited company (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) to amend the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on September 27, 2024 (the “Original Report”). The Original Report was filed to disclose: (i) Jim Mintern’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective January 1, 2025 and (ii) Albert Manifold’s retirement from his position as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), effective December 31, 2024. The Amendment discloses the entry into the employment agreement, dated December 20, 2024, by the Company and Mr. Mintern (the “Service Agreement”), in respect of Mr. Mintern’s service as Chief Executive Officer. Except as set forth below, there are no changes to the information contained in the Original Report.

Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

Pursuant to the Service Agreement, Mr. Mintern will receive an initial annual base salary of $1,750,000 and is eligible to receive a target annual bonus opportunity equal to 150% of his annual base salary (with a maximum opportunity equal to 300% of his annual base salary). Mr. Mintern will also be eligible to receive annual equity incentive awards with a target grant date fair value of 585% of his annual base salary, to be granted 60% in the form of performance stock units and 40% in the form of restricted share units; provided that the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) will be entitled in its discretion to adjust the mix between performance stock units and restricted share units. Mr. Mintern will also receive a monthly taxable pension cash adjustment equal to 10% of annual base salary and is eligible to participate in holiday leave, employee benefit plans and programs consistent with those provided generally to similarly-situated executives from time to time.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Service Agreement will continue until terminated by either party with at least 12 months’ written notice or, if earlier and unless otherwise agreed between the parties, on Mr. Mintern’s 65th birthday. The Company may, in its discretion, pay Mr. Mintern an amount equal to his annual base salary in lieu of any notice period or place Mr. Mintern on garden leave for some or all of the notice period during which he will continue to receive his regular compensation. In either case, payment of any bonus and other incentive arrangements will be in the discretion of the Committee.

Upon a termination of employment within six months after a change of control of the Company as a result of which Mr. Mintern’s powers, duties or functions have been or will be diminished, in satisfaction of any and all claims Mr. Mintern may have upon termination, Mr. Mintern will be entitled to an amount equal to one year of annual base salary, any vested equity incentives payable under the Company’s equity incentive plans and any other contractual entitlements. Payment of any annual bonus or unvested equity incentives will be in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may modify the conditions under which Mr. Mintern will be entitled to payments, and the amount of such payments, upon a termination of employment within six months after a change of control of the Company to align with any other change of control policies approved by the Committee from time to time, provided that the modifications are not less favorable to Mr. Mintern than the terms provided for in the Service Agreement.

The Service Agreement contains covenants not to compete with the Company and not to solicit customers and service providers of the Company, which apply, respectively, for nine and 12 months following termination of employment.

The foregoing summary of the Service Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Service Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
