CEMEX COMPLETES EXCHANGE
OFFERING
Monterrey, Mexico. December 11, 2008
- - CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX) announced today that it had issued 970
million pesos (approximately US$72 million) of long-term debt, successfully
exchanging shorter-term Certificados Bursatiles for new notes. The
offering, initiated on November 12, 2008, was finalized on December 10,
2008.
The new
debt, guaranteed by CEMEX Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Empresas Tolteca de Mexico
S.A. de C.V., matures on September 15, 2011.

percent of the new offering replaces notes coming due in December 2008 and
January 2009, thus reducing refinancing needs.
This
transaction represents the first issuance of this kind of instrument in the
Mexican capital markets since September and demonstrates CEMEX’s ability to tap
the medium-term capital markets successfully without government
guarantees.
All
maturities under the exchange offer program which were not refinanced will be
repaid as originally scheduled.
