The company announced on March 13 that it intends to cancel the listing of its ordinary shares and 7pc preference shares from the LSE, with the move expected to take effect from April 20.
The last day of trading in London is scheduled for April 17.
CRH, which supplies materials for major infrastructure, construction and commercial projects, is headquartered in Dublin and is one of Ireland’s largest companies.
However, the bulk of its business is now generated in North America, where it has had its primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange since September 2023. Once the delisting is complete, CRH’s shares will trade solely in New York.
The move follows a review of its listing structure, with the group citing lower trading activity in London, as well as the additional cost and regulatory requirements of maintaining a dual listing.
The decision comes as CRH most recently reported strong full-year results for 2025, with revenues rising to $37.4bn (€32.5bn), up 5pc on the previous year.
Net income increased by 8pc to $3.8bn, while adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) rose 11pc to $7.7bn.
The group also plans to cancel its 5pc and 7pc preference shares
Margins also improved, with net income margin at 10.1pc and an adjusted Ebitda margin at 20.5pc, both ahead of 2024 levels.
The company said it invested $4.1bn in 38 acquisitions during the year, alongside $1.7bn in capital expenditure projects aimed at driving further growth.
Alongside the delisting, the group also plans to cancel its 5pc and 7pc preference shares, subject to shareholder approval.
These shares, listed on the LSE and Euronext Growth Dublin, have a combined par value of about €1.2m.
Under the proposal, shareholders would receive cash payments equivalent to 40 times the annual dividend per share, equating to €2.54 for the 5pc preference shares and €3.556 for the 7pc preference shares.
CRH will seek approval for the cancellations at its annual general meeting on May 7, with separate meetings of preference shareholders scheduled for May 21.
If approved, the process is expected to be completed in mid-2026, it said.
