Shareholder approval moves the all-cash transaction forward, with regulatory clearances and other closing conditions still outstanding.
Stakeholders of Arcosa, Inc. have approved the company’s proposed acquisition by CRH, marking a significant step towards completing the $8.5 billion transaction. The company said the approval was given at a special meeting held on September 4, 2026.
Under the agreement announced earlier this year, CRH will acquire 100% of Arcosa in an all-cash transaction. Arcosa shareholders are set to receive $150 per share once the deal is completed. The proposed acquisition values Arcosa at approximately $8.5 billion, including debt.
The deal marks a major move in the building materials sector.
Dallas-based Arcosa provides infrastructure-related products and solutions, with operations connected to areas including aggregates and infrastructure products. CRH, a major global building materials company, has described the acquisition as a way to strengthen its position in North American aggregates and critical infrastructure markets.
The transaction was first announced in June 2026, when both companies’ boards unanimously approved the agreement. The $150-per-share offer represented a premium to Arcosa’s earlier trading levels, underlining the financial significance of the proposed takeover for investors.
Regulatory approval still matters.
While shareholder approval removes one of the key conditions attached to the merger, the acquisition is not yet a completed transaction. Regulatory requirements, antitrust review and other customary closing conditions remain part of the process.
Arcosa said it will provide the final certified voting results through a Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The merger agreement had originally targeted completion in the first quarter of 2027, subject to the necessary approvals and closing conditions. If completed, Arcosa would become a wholly owned subsidiary of CRH Americas. For CRH, the acquisition is expected to expand its North American infrastructure and aggregates footprint, while Arcosa shareholders would receive cash rather than retain an equity interest in the company. The shareholder vote therefore represents an important milestone, but the transaction still has several procedural steps to clear before ownership formally changes hands.
