The additional U.S.$650 million of notes will be issued at a price of U.S.$97.616 per U.S.$100 principal amount, plus any accrued interest.
The closing of the offering is expected to occur on July 11, 2011, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
CEMEX intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and the repayment of indebtedness, including indebtedness outstanding under CEMEX´s Financing Agreement, dated August 14, 2009, as amended, all in accordance with CEMEX’s debt contracts. This transaction is intended to allow CEMEX to continue addressing its debt maturities ahead of schedule and to contribute to CEMEX’s objective of meeting the prepayment milestone under the Financing Agreement, in order to avoid incremental interest costs.
