Any investment will be made under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any securities will be sold only to qualified institutional buyers and to offshore investors in transactions exempt from registration under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. No assurance can be made that any such transaction will be completed. CEMEX has elected to provide this information in this Report on Form 6-K in the attached Exhibit 1 for informational purposes.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in the U.S. federal securities laws. In some cases, these statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential” and “intend” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and projections about future events based on our knowledge of present facts and circumstances and assumptions about future events. These statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause results to differ, or that otherwise could have an impact on us or our subsidiaries, include

| • |  | the impact of our below investment grade debt rating on our cost of capital;

| • |  | our ability to consummate asset sales, fully integrate newly acquired businesses, achieve cost-savings from our cost-reduction initiatives and implement our global pricing initiatives for our products;

| • |  | weather conditions;

| • |  | natural disasters and other unforeseen events; and

| • |  | the other risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in this report.
