N/A
CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) informs that after obtaining the authorization from the corresponding Mexican financial authorities, the merger between ABC Capital, S.A. de C.V., S.F.O.M, E.N.R. (“ABC Capital”) and Banco Amigo, S.A. de C.V., Institución de Banca Múltiple (“Banco Amigo”) was finalized on March 1, 2011. Banco Amigo will be the controlling entity and the shareholders will be ABC Holding, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (51%) and Empresas Tolteca de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (49%), the latter a subsidiary of CEMEX.
The background of the merger dates back to March 2008, when CEMEX sold to ABC Holding a 51% stake of its subsidiary ABC Capital (formerly named CEMEX Capital, S.A. de C.V., S.O.F.O.M., E.N.R.).
The new institution resulting from the merger of Banco Amigo and ABC Capital, will have an initial capital of 900 million Mexican pesos, and will focus on the financing of sectors with high growth potential such as real estate, infrastructure, public works and business credit, including microcredit, among others.
CEMEX's participation in Banco Amigo will allow it to support its customers and suppliers with financing, and in turn, will allow CEMEX to participate in infrastructure projects and public works. Banco Amigo is a commercial bank with presence in 22 Mexican states, with 25 branches and 800 employees.
Because it is a merger, CEMEX did not make any investment in connection with their participation in the merging company.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
