Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 16, 2026, the Board of Directors (the ‘Board’) of CRH plc (the ‘Company’) increased the size of the Board from 12 to 13 members and appointed Mr. W. Anthony (Tony) Will to serve as a non-management Director of the Company, each effective as of July 1, 2026.
Mr. Will will be compensated for his service as a member of the Board pursuant to the Company’s non-management Director compensation program as described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2026. Mr. Will’s Restricted Stock Unit (‘RSU’) award grant will represent a pro rata portion of the RSU award granted to the other non-management Directors, reflecting his service on the Board from July 1, 2026 until the Annual General Meeting in 2027.
Mr. Will has no family relationship with any member of the Board or any executive officer of the Company and is not a party to any transactions that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. There are no agreements, arrangements or understandings between Mr. Will and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Will was appointed as a Director.
It is anticipated that Mr. Will will enter into an indemnification agreement in substantially the same form as the Company enters into with its Directors and executive officers, which was filed as Exhibit 10.36 to the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2026.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The Company issued a press release on June 16, 2026 announcing Mr. Will’s appointment to the Board. The press release making the announcement, including his biographical information, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
