CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that holders of U.S.$178,509,000 of the outstanding Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) issued by CEMEX, U.S.$218,932,000 of the outstanding 6.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) issued by CEMEX and U.S.$402,579,000 of the outstanding 9.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes” and, together with the 2018 Notes and the 2019 Notes, the “Notes”) issued by CEMEX Finance LLC, tendered their Notes at or prior to the early tender deadline of 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 9, 2016 (the “Early Tender Date”), pursuant to CEMEX’s previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to U.S.$400,000,000 (the “Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount”) of the outstanding Notes. The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase dated April 25, 2016 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related letter of transmittal.

The following table summarizes the early tender results as of the Early Tender Date and the principal amount of Notes that CEMEX has accepted for purchase:

(1) Per U.S.$1,000 Principal Amount.

(2) Because no proration factor would permit CEMEX to purchase tendered 2022 Notes in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, no such 2022 Notes will be accepted in the Tender Offer.

Because Notes in excess of the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount have been validly tendered in the Tender Offer on or prior to the Early Tender Date, CEMEX has accepted for purchase all U.S.$178,509,000 of the tendered 2018 Notes, all U.S.$218,932,000 of the tendered 2019 Notes and none of the tendered 2022 Notes. The early settlement date on which CEMEX will make payment for such 2018 Notes and 2019 Notes accepted in the Tender Offer is expected to be May 12, 2016 (the “Early Settlement Date”). Holders of Notes who tender after the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. Any tendered Notes that are not accepted for purchase will be returned or credited without expense to the holder’s account.

Holders of Notes that validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes have been accepted for purchase are entitled to receive U.S.$1,033.75 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2018 Notes and U.S.$1,062.50 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes accepted for purchase, which includes, in each case, an early tender premium equal to U.S.$30 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase. Holders who validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes have been accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their accepted Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. The total cash payment to purchase the accepted Notes will be approximately U.S.$423.9 million. Notes that have been validly tendered cannot be withdrawn, except as may be required by applicable law.

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 20, 2016.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer. The Information Agent and Tender Agent for the Tender Offer was Global Bondholder Services Corporation.
