  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:9%; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Filing Fee Tables&#148; or &#147;Calculation

  determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to section&nbsp;13(a) or section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
  employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the

  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
  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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

  This Registration Statement on Form

  (this "Registration Statement") registers ordinary shares, nominal
  value €0.59 per share ("Ordinary Shares"), of James Hardie Industries plc (the "Registrant") issuable upon the settlement or exercise, as applicable, of restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and
  stock options outstanding pursuant to The AZEK Company Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (such restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and stock options, the "Rollover Awards," and such
  plan, the "2020 AZEK Equity Plan"), that have been assumed by the Registrant pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of March 23, 2025, as amended, by and among the Registrant, Juno
  Merger Sub Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Merger Sub"), and The AZEK Company Inc. ("AZEK"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, on 1 July 2025, Merger Sub merged with and into AZEK (the

  exercisable for shares of AZEK common stock, was converted into a corresponding award with respect to Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 AZEK Equity Plan and the
  applicable award agreement. The aggregate number of Ordinary Shares subject to the Rollover Awards is 7,251,679.
  Part I
  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
  The information required by Item 1 and Item 2 of Part I of Form

  is omitted from this filing in accordance with
  Rule 428 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the introductory note to Part I of Form

  Part II
  INFORMATION
  REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
  Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
  The following documents previously filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act
  of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are incorporated herein by reference:
  (1)
  the Registrant's Annual Report on
  Form
  20-F
  for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2025, filed with the SEC on 20 May 2025; and
  (2)
  the description of Ordinary Shares contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on
  Form
  8-A
  filed with the SEC on 23 June 2025.
  All documents subsequently filed by the
  Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,
  shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such document.
  Any statement contained in a
  document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement herein, or in any subsequently filed document which also
  is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference, modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.
  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  Not applicable.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors
  and Officers.
  Except as hereinafter set forth, there is no charter provision, bylaw, contract, arrangement or statute under which any director or
  officer of the Registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he or she may incur in his or her capacity as such.
  The
  memorandum of association of the Registrant dated and effective on August 14, 2015, and the articles of association of the Registrant dated and effective on November 5, 2020 (collectively, the "James Hardie Constitution") provide
  that, subject to the Companies Act 2014 (as amended) (the "Irish Companies Act"), the Registrant's current and former directors and secretaries shall be indemnified by the Registrant for costs, losses and expenses arising out of such
  person's discharge of their duties. Specifically, Regulation 157(a) of the James Hardie
  Constitution provides that, subject to the Irish Companies Act, every director and secretary (whether past or present) of the Registrant shall be indemnified by the Registrant against, and it
  shall be the duty of the Registrant directors out of the funds of the Registrant to pay, all costs, losses and expenses which any such director or secretary may incur or become liable for by reason of any contract entered into or any act or thing
  done by him/her as such director or secretary of the Registrant or in any way in the discharge of his/her duties.
  The Irish Companies Act, however, does
  not permit a company to exempt a director or the company secretary from, or indemnify such person against, liability in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by such person in relation to the company, unless
  (1) judgment is given in any civil or criminal action in such person's favor or such person is acquitted, or (2) an Irish court grants such person relief from liability on the grounds that he or she acted honestly and reasonably and
  that, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, he or she ought fairly to be excused for the wrong concerned.
  The Irish Companies Act permits a
  company to purchase and maintain director and officer liability insurance against any liability attaching in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company. Accordingly, the Registrant maintains
  an insurance policy for its directors and officers (including past and present) in respect of liabilities arising out of any act, error or omission whilst acting in their capacities as directors or officers of the Registrant.
  Each Registrant director (including past and present) has also received a form of indemnity agreement from the Registrant (or its predecessor, James Hardie
  Industries SE) which includes coverage to the maximum extent permitted under Irish law. In addition, each Registrant director (including past and present) has been provided with an indemnification agreement from a North American operating subsidiary
  of the Registrant, James Hardie Building Products, Inc., as the indemnification provisions under the applicable Nevada statute are broader than those allowed under the Irish Companies Act. As such, the foregoing summaries are qualified in their
  entirety by the terms and provisions of such indemnification agreements entered into with the Registrant directors.

  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 of 1933;
  (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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" or "Calculation
  of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement.
  (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) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
  amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
  registration statement.
  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
  employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
  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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  requirements for filing on Form
