CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that holders of approximately U.S.$470 million of the outstanding 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) issued by CEMEX Finance LLC tendered their 2016 Notes at or prior to the early tender deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 8, 2013 (the "Early Tender Date"), pursuant to CEMEX's previously announced cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding 2016 Notes. The cash tender offer is being made pursuant to an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal, each dated September 25, 2013, relating to the 2016 Notes.

The following table summarizes the material pricing terms for the tender offer:

* Per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2016 Notes accepted for purchase.

Holders of 2016 Notes that validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose 2016 Notes have been accepted for purchase are entitled to receive U.S.$1,062.50 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2016 Notes accepted for purchase, which includes an early tender payment equal to U.S.$30 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2016 Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Payment”). The early settlement date on which CEMEX will make payment for such 2016 Notes is expected to be October 9, 2013. Holders who tender 2016 Notes after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 23, 2013, and whose 2016 Notes are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive only the Base Consideration per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2016 Notes, which amount is equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Tender Payment. Holders who validly tender their 2016 Notes in the tender offer and whose 2016 Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their accepted 2016 Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. 2016 Notes that have been validly tendered cannot be withdrawn, except as may be required by applicable law.
