CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that holders of U.S.$592,520,000 of the outstanding 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) issued by CEMEX and U.S.$365,146,000 of the outstanding 9.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes” and, together with the 2018 Notes, the “Notes”) issued by CEMEX España, S.A., acting through its Luxembourg Branch, tendered their Notes at or prior to the early tender deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 17, 2014 (the “Early Tender Date”), pursuant to CEMEX’s previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to U.S.$1,175 million (the “Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount”) of the outstanding Notes. The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase dated September 4, 2014 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:

CEMEX has accepted for purchase all U.S.$592,520,000 of the 2018 Notes and all U.S.$365,146,000 of the 2020 Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date. The early settlement date on which CEMEX will make payment for such 2018 Notes and 2020 Notes accepted in the Tender Offer is expected to be September 18, 2014 (the “Early Settlement Date”).

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.$1,070.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2018 Notes and U.S$1,098.75 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes accepted for purchase, which includes, in each case, an early tender payment 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 on the Early Settlement Date will be approximately U.S.$1.06 billion. Notes that have been validly tendered cannot be withdrawn, except as may be required by applicable law. The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 1, 2014 (the “Expiration Date”).

If Notes are validly tendered such that the aggregate principal amount tendered exceeds the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, CEMEX will accept for purchase only the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount of such Notes, and such Notes will be purchased in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Level, so that all such Notes having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted for purchase before any tendered Notes having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted. Nonetheless, Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Date, which have been accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date, will have priority over those Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date notwithstanding any acceptance priority that may exist. If, on the final settlement date, only a portion of the 2018 Notes or only a portion of the 2020 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date may be accepted for purchase consistent with the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes accepted for purchase will be prorated based upon the aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes or 2020 Notes, as applicable, that have been validly tendered and not yet accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer (with appropriate adjustment to avoid purchases of Notes in a principal amount other than U.S.$100,000 and an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, in the case of the 2018 Notes, or U.S.$70,000 and an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, in the case of the 2020 Notes), provided that in no event shall CEMEX be obligated to purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes exceeding the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount.

Holders who tender Notes after the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive only the Base Consideration of U.S.$1,040.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2018 Notes and U.S.$1,068.75 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes accepted for purchase. Holders who validly tender their Notes in the Tender Offer after the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date and whose Notes are 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 final settlement date.

CEMEX reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to extend, withdraw or terminate the Tender Offer, increase or decrease the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount or otherwise amend the terms of the Tender Offer.
