CEMEX ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF REFINANCING

MONTERREY, MEXICO, SEPTEMBER 17, 2012 – CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today that it has successfully completed the previously announced refinancing of its Financing Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2009, as amended.

Fernando Gonzalez, Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration of CEMEX, stated “CEMEX is pleased to have accomplished this significant milestone, with support from over 55 banks and institutions.  We intend to continue to proactively address our maturities and work towards reducing our leverage and strengthening our capital structure.”

Pursuant to the refinancing, participating creditors representing approximately 92.7% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the existing Financing Agreement agreed to extinguish their existing loans and private placement notes and to receive in place thereof:

·  approximately U.S.$6.155 billion in aggregate principal amount of new loans and new U.S. Dollar private placement notes issued pursuant to a New Facilities Agreement and a New Note Purchase Agreement, both dated as of September 17, 2012; and

· U.S.$500 million of new 9.5% senior secured notes due 2018, issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 17, 2012, which notes are expected to be delivered by the exchange agent to recipients today.

As a result of the refinancing, the New Facilities Agreement, with a final maturity of February 14, 2017, the principal terms of which were previously announced in CEMEX’s press release dated June 29, 2012, has become effective today.  Also, approximately U.S.$525 million aggregate principal amount of loans and U.S. Dollar private placement notes remain outstanding under the original Financing Agreement, as amended and restated pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer, and the Note Purchase Agreement, each with a final maturity of February 14, 2014.

Participation in this transaction was limited: (a) in the United States, to persons who are “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or institutional “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, and (b) outside the United States, to persons other than “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act and who are "qualified investors" (within the meaning given at Article 2 of Directive 2003/71/EC (the Prospectus Directive)) or hold an equivalent status under applicable local laws and regulations.
