The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase dated February 13, 2017 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related letter of transmittal.

The following table summarizes the early tender results as of the Early Tender Date and the aggregate principal amount of Notes that CEMEX has accepted for purchase, as well as the proration factor:

Since Notes in excess of the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount have been validly tendered in the Tender Offer on or prior to the Early Tender Date, CEMEX has accepted for purchase U.S.$475,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the tendered Notes, including all U.S.$385,061,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, U.S.$89,939,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes and none of the 2022 Notes, and will pay holders of the 2019 Notes on a pro rata basis according to the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase. The early settlement date on which CEMEX will make payment for such 2021 Notes and 2019 Notes accepted in the Tender Offer is expected to be March 2, 2017 (the “Early Settlement Date”). Holders of Notes who tender after the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. Any tendered Notes that are not accepted for purchase will be returned or credited without expense to the holder’s account.

Holders of Notes that validly tendered their Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes have been accepted for purchase (subject to the application of the proration factor) are entitled to receive U.S.$1,081.25 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2021 Notes and U.S.$1,067.50 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes accepted for purchase, which includes, in each case, an early tender premium equal to U.S.$30.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase. Holders of Notes who validly tendered their Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes have been accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their accepted Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. The total cash payment to purchase the accepted Notes on the Early Settlement Date will be approximately U.S.$517,333,395. Notes that have been validly tendered cannot be withdrawn, except as may be required by applicable law. The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2017.
