subject to the applicable indemnification provisions of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act (the &#147;NCBCA&#148;). Under the NCBCA, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation must indemnify its directors and officers
who were wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against any reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in
connection with such proceeding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The NCBCA includes two separate provisions allowing for permissive indemnification of directors,
officers, employees and agents. First, the NCBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against liabilities and expenses incurred in a proceeding if the person conducted himself or herself in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be, with respect to conduct in his or her official capacity with the corporation, in the best interests of the corporation, with respect to all other conduct, was at least not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The NCBCA further provides that no indemnification under this provision is available in
respect of a claim in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding charging impersonal benefit to him or her,
whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity, in which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Separate and apart from the permissive indemnification provision described above, the NCBCA also provides that a corporation may in its
articles of incorporation or bylaws or by contract or resolution indemnify or agree to indemnify any one or more of its directors, officers, employees and agents against liabilities and expenses incurred in a proceeding (including a proceeding
brought by or on behalf of the corporation) arising out of a person&#146;s status as such or their activities in such capacity, except that a corporation may not indemnify a person against liabilities or expenses he or she may incur on account of
his or her activities which were, at the time taken, known or believed by the person to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the corporation. Under this provision of the NCBCA, a corporation may likewise and to the same extent indemnify
or agree to indemnify any person who, at the request of the corporation, is or was serving as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a trustee or
administrator under an employee benefit plan. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify any person (i)&nbsp;who
at any time serves or has served as an officer, employee or a director of the Company, or (ii)&nbsp;who, while serving as an officer, employee or a director of the Company, serves or has served at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or as a trustee, other fiduciary or administrator under an employee benefit plan, against any and all liability and litigation
expense, including reasonable attorneys&#146; fees, to the fullest extent permitted by North Carolina law, provided that any employee shall have a right to indemnification when acting in his or her capacity as an employee only upon satisfaction of
the standards of conduct of officers and directors set forth in the NCBCA. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the NCBCA provides that a director of a
corporation shall not be liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to take any action, if he or she performed the duties of his or her office in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise
under similar circumstances and in a manner the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. The NCBCA also provides that a corporation may include in its articles of incorporation a provision that limits or
eliminates the personal liability of a director arising out of an action, whether by or in the right of the corporation, for monetary damages for breach of duty as a director, except with respect to acts or omissions that the director at the time of
such breach knew or believed were clearly in conflict with the best interests of the corporation, any liability for unlawful distributions, any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, or acts or omissions occurring
prior to the date such provisions of the NCBCA became effective. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s articles of incorporation provide that, to the
fullest extent permitted by the NCBCA, no director shall be personally liable to the Company or any of its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty as a director. </P>

This registration statement (this "Registration Statement") covers the issuance of an aggregate of 2,714,064 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Company Common Stock") of Martin
Marietta Materials, Inc. (the "Company"). At the effective time of the Merger (as defined in the Explanatory Note below), 3,877,234 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 ("TXI Common Stock") of Texas Industries, Inc.
("TXI") were reserved and available for issuance under the TXI equity-based plans. As adjusted for the 0.70 exchange ratio in connection with the Merger, this equates to 2,714,064 shares of Company Common Stock to be registered
hereunder. In addition, pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Company Common Stock which become issuable under the plans
pursuant to this Registration Statement by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the Company's
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock.
(2)
Calculated solely for purposes of this offering under Rule 457(c) and (h) of the Securities Act on the basis of the average of the high and low selling price per share of Company Common Stock on June 26, 2014,
as reported by the New York Stock Exchange.

Determined in accordance with Section 6(b) of the Securities Act at a rate equal to $128.80 per $1,000,000 of the proposed maximum aggregate offering price. Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the
total amount of the registration fee due is offset by $40,731.04, representing the dollar amount of the filing fee previously paid by the Company that corresponds to 2,711,137 unsold shares of registered pursuant to the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-194288) filed under the Securities Act on March 3, 2014, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 1, 2014 and as amended by Amendment No. 2 filed on May 21, 2014. Accordingly, the
filing fee transmitted herewith is $4,846.09.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On July 1, 2014, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of January 27, 2014, by
and among the Company, Project Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and TXI, Merger Sub merged with and into TXI (the "Merger"), with TXI surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of TXI Common Stock (other than shares owned by TXI, Martin Marietta or Merger Sub, which were cancelled) was converted into the right to receive 0.70 shares of Company Common Stock, with cash paid
in lieu of fractional shares. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger:
(i) each outstanding
option to purchase TXI Common Stock automatically vested and converted into a vested option to purchase, on the same terms as were applicable prior to the Merger, a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the product determined by
multiplying the total number of shares of TXI Common Stock subject to that option immediately prior to the Merger by 0.70 (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares);
(ii) each stock appreciation right in respect of TXI Common Stock automatically vested and converted into a vested stock
appreciation right, on the same terms as were applicable prior to the Merger, corresponding to the number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the product determined by multiplying the total number of shares of TXI Common Stock corresponding
to that stock appreciation right immediately prior to the Merger by 0.70 (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares); and
(iii) each TXI restricted stock unit automatically vested and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Company
Common Stock equal to the product determined by multiplying the total number of shares of TXI Common Stock subject to the restricted stock unit by 0.70, with cash provided in lieu of fractional shares.
This Registration Statement is filed by the Company for the purpose of registering 2,714,064 shares of Company Common Stock reserved and
available for issuance under the TXI 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan and TXI's Management Deferred Compensation Plan (together, the "TXI Plans") that have been assumed by the Company in connection with the consummation of the
Merger and awards to be granted under the TXI Plans following the Merger.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company is a North Carolina corporation
subject to the applicable indemnification provisions of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act (the "NCBCA"). Under the NCBCA, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation must indemnify its directors and officers
who were wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against any reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in
connection with such proceeding.
The NCBCA includes two separate provisions allowing for permissive indemnification of directors,
officers, employees and agents. First, the NCBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against liabilities and expenses incurred in a proceeding if the person conducted himself or herself in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be, with respect to conduct in his or her official capacity with the corporation, in the best interests of the corporation, with respect to all other conduct, was at least not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The NCBCA further provides that no indemnification under this provision is available in
respect of a claim in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding charging impersonal benefit to him or her,
whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity, in which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her.
Separate and apart from the permissive indemnification provision described above, the NCBCA also provides that a corporation may in its
articles of incorporation or bylaws or by contract or resolution indemnify or agree to indemnify any one or more of its directors, officers, employees and agents against liabilities and expenses incurred in a proceeding (including a proceeding
brought by or on behalf of the corporation) arising out of a person's status as such or their activities in such capacity, except that a corporation may not indemnify a person against liabilities or expenses he or she may incur on account of
his or her activities which were, at the time taken, known or believed by the person to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the corporation. Under this provision of the NCBCA, a corporation may likewise and to the same extent indemnify
or agree to indemnify any person who, at the request of the corporation, is or was serving as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a trustee or
administrator under an employee benefit plan.
The Company's bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify any person (i) who
at any time serves or has served as an officer, employee or a director of the Company, or (ii) who, while serving as an officer, employee or a director of the Company, serves or has served at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or as a trustee, other fiduciary or administrator under an employee benefit plan, against any and all liability and litigation
expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the fullest extent permitted by North Carolina law, provided that any employee shall have a right to indemnification when acting in his or her capacity as an employee only upon satisfaction of
the standards of conduct of officers and directors set forth in the NCBCA.
In addition, the NCBCA provides that a director of a
corporation shall not be liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to take any action, if he or she performed the duties of his or her office in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise
under similar circumstances and in a manner the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. The NCBCA also provides that a corporation may include in its articles of incorporation a provision that limits or
eliminates the personal liability of a director arising out of an action, whether by or in the right of the corporation, for monetary damages for breach of duty as a director, except with respect to acts or omissions that the director at the time of
such breach knew or believed were clearly in conflict with the best interests of the corporation, any liability for unlawful distributions, any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, or acts or omissions occurring
prior to the date such provisions of the NCBCA became effective.
The Company's articles of incorporation provide that, to the
fullest extent permitted by the NCBCA, no director shall be personally liable to the Company or any of its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty as a director.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act), that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Raleigh, State of North Carolina, on this 2nd day
of July, 2014.
