Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 17, 2024, CRH public limited company (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, CRH America Finance, Inc. (the “Issuer”), increased the size of an existing $2.0 billion U.S. Dollar Commercial Paper Program pursuant to which the Issuer may issue short-term notes unconditionally guaranteed by the Company having a maturity not to exceed 364 days from the date of issue from time to time in reliance on one or more exemptions from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). After giving effect to the increase, the Issuer may issue short-term notes in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of up to $4.0 billion, providing added flexibility to support the Company’s short-term liquidity needs. The short-term notes were not and will not be registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to or for the account of U.S. persons absent registration except in certain transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
