CEMEX ANNOUNCES TENDER OFFER FOR
9.000% SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2018 AND
9.250% SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2020
MONTERREY, MEXICO, SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 – CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that it has commenced a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to U.S.$1,175,000,000 (the “Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount”) of the outstanding 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 issued by CEMEX (the “2018 Notes”) and 9.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 issued by CEMEX España, S.A., acting through its Luxembourg Branch (the “2020 Notes” and, together with the 2018 Notes, the “Notes”), subject to purchase in accordance with the acceptance priority level for each series of Notes (the “Acceptance Priority Level”) and possible proration as described in CEMEX’s Offer to Purchase dated September 4, 2014.
The following table summarizes the material pricing terms for the Tender Offer:

The Notes will be purchased in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Level (in numerical priority order) as set forth in the table above, and proration of the 2018 Notes or 2020 Notes will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer. If CEMEX purchases any Notes in the Tender Offer, Notes tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 17, 2014 (the “Early Tender Date”), will be accepted for purchase in priority to other Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date even if such Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date have a higher acceptance priority than Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Date. Because the total principal amount outstanding of the 2018 Notes is less than the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, CEMEX will first purchase up to the total principal amount outstanding of 2018 Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date. If at the Early Tender Date the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered exceeds the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, CEMEX reserves the right, at its option, not to accept any additional Notes tendered by holders of Notes after the Early Tender 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. If, on the final settlement date, only a portion of the tendered 2018 Notes or, on any given settlement date, only a portion of the tendered 2020 Notes 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. Nonetheless, Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Date will have priority over those Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date notwithstanding any acceptance priority that may exist. As a result, 2018 Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 1, 2014 (the “Expiration Date”) may be subject to proration. Because the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount (the total principal amount of Notes that CEMEX will accept in the Tender Offer) is greater than the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 2018 Notes (the series of Notes with the highest acceptance priority), CEMEX will first purchase up to the aggregate principal amount outstanding of 2018 Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date before CEMEX purchases any 2020 Notes (the series of Notes with the lowest acceptance priority) validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date. However, 2018 Notes will only be subject to possible proration if tendered after the Early Tender Date, with such proration to occur, if at all, on the final settlement date.
Holders of Notes that are validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes an early tender payment equal to U.S.$30.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Early Tender Payment”). Holders who tender Notes after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive only the applicable Base Consideration per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes, which amount is equal to the applicable Total Consideration less the Early Tender Payment. Holders who validly tender their Notes in the Tender Offer and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from the last interest payment date preceding the applicable settlement date to, but not including, such settlement date. Holders of Notes who tender their Notes before the withdrawal deadline, which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 17, 2014, unless extended, may not withdraw their Notes after the withdrawal deadline, unless otherwise required by law. Holders who tender their Notes after the withdrawal deadline may not withdraw their Notes, unless otherwise required by law. If, at the Early Tender Date, the principal amount of the Notes validly tendered exceeds the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount (i.e., the Tender Offer is “fully subscribed”), CEMEX has the option not to accept any additional Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date even if such Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender 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.
The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 1, 2014 and is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including, among others, CEMEX having consummated the issuance of U.S.$1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.700% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 and €400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (together, the “New Notes”) in concurrent international capital markets offerings, which are subject to market conditions. If and when issued, the New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), or any other securities laws. The New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable securities laws.
CEMEX has retained J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan”) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“BofA Merrill Lynch”) to act as Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer. Holders with questions about the Tender Offer can contact BofA Merrill Lynch’s Liability Management Group at (888) 292-0070 (toll free) or (646) 855-3401 (collect); or J.P.
