What stands out

Two directors bought shares: Richard Fearon (3.8K shares, $397K) and Siobhan Talbot (2K shares, $204K).Richard Fearon: purchase, Mar 11, 2026 · Siobhan Talbot: purchase, Mar 12, 2026

Tax withholding outweighed market sales: the company withheld $18.6M of officers' and directors' shares for taxes, against $156K sold on the open market. The largest was Randy Lake ($5.2M withheld).Largest withholding, Feb 23, 2026

Percentages cover 20 of 25 officers and directors. 5 are left out

Left out: Randy Lake, Nathan Creech and Denis Mintern (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Nancy Buese and Thomas Peck Jr. (held no vested shares at the start).

Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is the insider's vested stake at the start of the period (Oct 8, 2025). The gold part is what they sold.

SoldRest of starting stakeAdded during the period

Padraig ORiordain

Chief Legal & Corporate Affairs Officer

Sold 55% of the shares held or received (after tax withholding) during the period†. No bar against the starting stake: most of these shares arrived during the period.

Common questions

Is the CRH plc CEO selling stock?

No. Denis Mintern reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are CRH plc insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 0% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 100% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any CRH plc insiders buying?

Yes. 2 officers or directors reported 2 purchases in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P, which includes private purchases).

How much of their stake did CRH plc insiders sell?

About 0.3% of the shares they held or received (after tax withholding) during the period. The usual measure, against starting holdings alone, can't be used here because most of the shares sold arrived during the period. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

22 of 25 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (22 exactly, 0 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 3 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on their rows explains why. Percentages cover 20 of 25 officers and directors. Left out: Randy Lake, Nathan Creech and Denis Mintern (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Nancy Buese and Thomas Peck Jr. (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$156K of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $156K across 1,492 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

No plan disclosed · $156K

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $156K of it is Padraig ORiordain. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Padraig ORiordain, May 15, 2026

Taxes

156,239 shares ($18.6M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Purchases · 2 buyers (2 trades)

2 officers and directors bought shares in this period, in 2 trades(Form 4 code P). Across all their filings on record there are 3 purchase trades.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertainty3 insiders whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Randy Lake: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of -2,992 shares). Balance changed without a matching transaction, and the footnote does not state the amount: -2,992 shares on Feb 23, 2026 (Direct). Filing, Feb 23, 2026

Footnote: "Reflects the vesting and release of a time-based conditional award as defined in the 2014 Deferred Share Bonus Plan (the "DSB Plan Rules"), of which, pursuant to the determination of the Compensation Committee, a total of 17,064 shares vested on February 23, 2026, including the award of 1,167 additional Ordinary Shares as dividend equivalents."

Nathan Creech: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of -1,539 shares). Balance changed without a matching transaction, and the footnote does not state the amount: -1,539 shares on Feb 23, 2026 (Direct). Filing, Feb 23, 2026

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology95 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 95 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for CRH plc (SEC CIK 849395) from Jan 2, 2025 to Oct 1, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
