2011 guidance

Consolidated volumes for cement to grow by 1% and, on a like-to-like basis for the ongoing operations, we expect consolidated ready-mix and aggregates volumes to grow by 4% and 1%, respectively Cost of energy, on a per-ton-of-cement-produced basis, expected to increase by about 15% Total capital expenditures expected to be US$470 million, US$350 million in maintenance capex and US$120 million in strategic capex

No major change expected in cash taxes

We expect an important part of our year-to-date working capital investment to be reversed during the fourth quarter No significant change expected in cost of debt, including perpetual and convertible notes

Building blocks for 2011 covenant compliance

Millions of US dollars

Consolidated Funded Debt as of September 30, 2011 16,279

- Expected incremental reserve primarily for Certificados Bursátiles ~(150)

- Prepayment of Financing Agreement1 (131)

Estimated Consolidated Funded Debt as of December 31, 20112 ~16,000

Based on our debt reduction initiatives, operating EBITDA in 4Q11 would need to grow by 5% or more vs. 4Q10 to be in compliance with our 7.0x leverage covenant by year end

4Q11 performance could exceed this required operating EBITDA growth due to:

Impact of transformation savings

Expected sale of CO2 emission allowances Higher alternative fuels substitution

Potentially easier comparison, as 4Q10 saw harsh weather in Europe and Colombia
