## Executive Director Shareholding Levels 

The current shareholdings of the executive Directors as a multiple of 2012 salary are as shown in the table to right. 

## Directors’ Service Contracts 

No executive Director has a service contract, has a notice period in excess of 12 months, or is entitled to any benefits on termination of employment. The Remuneration Committee’s policy in this area is that service contracts will be put in place for newly appointed executive Directors and in cases where there is a significant step change in a Director’s responsibilities. Non-executive Directors serve under letters of appointment, copies of which are available for inspection at the Company’s Registered Office and at the Annual General Meeting. 

## Non-executive Directors’ Remuneration 

The remuneration of non-executive Directors is determined by the Board of Directors as a whole. The Remuneration Committee  determines the remuneration of the Chairman within the framework or broad policy agreed with the Board.

* The calculation in the above table is based on shares held by the executive Directors; it excludes holdings of unvested performance share plan awards and unexercised/unvested share options. 

Remuneration is set at a level which will attract individuals with the necessary experience and ability to make a substantial contribution to the Company’s affairs and reflect the time and travel demands of their Board duties. The non- executive Directors do not participate in any of

1 For the purposes of comparability, the FTSE100 Index has been converted to euro using the closing exchange rate at each year end 

2 This five year TSR graph provides information on CRH’s TSR performance, which UK incorporated listed companies are required to provide under company law in that jurisdiction (in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 8 of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008). The FTSE100 and Eurofirst 300 indices have been chosen as they are broadly based and CRH is a constituent member of both (FTSE100 since December 2011) 

Compound TSR growth since the formation of the Group in 1970 (assuming the reinvestment of dividends) is 15.5%.
