PRICES US$500 MILLION REOPENING
OF
9.5% NOTES DUE 2016
MONTERREY, MEXICO, January 13,
2010 – CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX), announced today the pricing of a
US$500 million reopening of its 9.5% notes due 2016, which were originally
issued on December 14, 2009 in the amount of US$1,250 million. The additional
US$500 million of notes will be issued at a price of US$105.25 per US$100
principal amount plus accrued interest from December 14, 2009 and will have a
yield to maturity of 8.477%.
The
closing of the offering is expected to occur on January 19, 2010, subject to
satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Of the
net proceeds from the offering, US$411 million will be used to prepay principal
outstanding under CEMEX’s Financing Agreement completed on August 14, 2009. The
remaining proceeds will increase cash balances and be used for general corporate
purposes, which may include additional repayments of indebtedness, including
indebtedness under the Financing Agreement. This prepayment is expected to
result in accumulated prepayments under the Financing Agreement in excess of the
first financial milestone of US$4.8 billion, thereby allowing CEMEX to maintain
the current applicable margin under the Financing Agreement until at least
December 2011.
The
notes will share in the collateral pledged to the lenders under the Financing
Agreement and will be guaranteed by CEMEX and the subsidiaries which have
provided guarantees under the Financing Agreement.
The
Notes and the guarantees thereof have not been and will not be registered under
the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and they may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
