Transition to US Primary Listing Complete
Press Release
Transition
to US Primary Listing Complete
CRH
plc, the leading provider of building materials solutions, is
pleased to announce the successful transition of its primary
listing to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today which marks a
historic milestone for the Group.
The
Group will retain a standard listing on the London Stock
Exchange.
We
believe a US primary listing will bring increased commercial,
operational and acquisition opportunities for our business, further
accelerating our successful integrated solutions strategy and
delivering even higher levels of profitability, returns and cash
for our shareholders.
North
America represents approximately 75% of Group EBITDA and the US is
expected to be a key driver of future growth for CRH due to
continued economic expansion, a growing population and significant
construction needs.
As the
leading building materials solutions business in North America, CRH
is uniquely positioned to capitalise on the strong growth
opportunities in the US construction market, underpinned by
long-term structural tailwinds from federal, state and municipal
funding support.
Albert
Manifold, Chief Executive of CRH, said: "Today marks an important milestone in CRH's
development which will enable us to fully participate in the
significant growth opportunities that lie ahead for our
business".
To mark
the transition of CRH's primary listing to the NYSE, the Group will
host an investor presentation in New York later today. A live
webcast of the event will commence at 12.30pm US Eastern Time and
registration details are available on crh.com.
