 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Contents </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;2, 2016, CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX) (&#147;CEMEX&#148;) informed the Mexican Stock Exchange (<I>Bolsa Mexicana de Valores</I>) that
CEMEX&#146;s indirect subsidiary, CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (&#147;CEMEX Latam&#148;), informed the Colombian Stock Exchange (<I>Bolsa de Valores de Colombia</I>) and Colombian Financial Superintendency (<I>Superintendencia Financiera de
Colombia)</I> that further to the matter previously reported by CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (&#147;CEMEX Latam&#148;), most recently on September&nbsp;23, 2016, regarding the new cement plant being built by CEMEX Colombia S.A. (&#147;CEMEX
Colombia&#148;) in the department of Antioquia in the municipality of Maceo, Colombia (&#147;Maceo&#148;) under an existing five-year lease contract (the &#147;Lease&#148;) signed with a person designated by the government of Colombia as depository
of certain assets: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the Lease, which was entered into as a temporary solution while the corresponding legal proceedings that affected the
Maceo selling entity were resolved, CEMEX Latam believes that CEMEX Colombia is authorized to use and enjoy the land and mining rights in Maceo and to continue with the necessary works for the construction of the cement plant. The Lease was signed
in 2013 and is currently set to expire in July of 2018, unless earlier terminated by the corresponding agency of the government of Colombia. CEMEX Latam and CEMEX Colombia strongly believe the Maceo project is crucial to the continued economic
development of the area, especially in light of the recently signed peace accord. As such, CEMEX Latam currently expects that the cement plant in Maceo should be fully operational by early 2017. Pending resolution of these legal proceedings, CEMEX
Colombia will plan to negotiate an extension of the Lease&#146;s term. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As background, in August&nbsp;of 2012 CEMEX Colombia signed a memorandum of
understanding (&#147;MOU&#148;) with the legal representative of the selling entity for the definition of the main terms and conditions of the acquisition of the land, the mining title and the legal entity that has the approval of the special tax
and trade zone benefits for the construction of the cement plant in Maceo. The legal representative of the selling entity is a private non-governmental individual who represented the selling entity pursuant to a mandate which CEMEX Colombia has
reviewed and believes authorizes such legal representative to transfer all assets, rights and property under the MOU from the selling entity to CEMEX Colombia. CEMEX Colombia also retained the same legal representative of the Maceo selling entity to
acquire land adjacent to the Maceo property on behalf of CEMEX Colombia. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the MOU, CEMEX Colombia acquired all of the shares of a subsidiary
of the Maceo selling entity which was the owner of the special tax and trade zone benefits. Also, CEMEX Colombia received documentation that evidenced that the mining rights under the MOU were transferred to CEMEX Colombia. However, as a result of
the Colombian government&#146;s initiation of an expiration of property proceeding, the transfer to CEMEX Colombia of the mining rights was ultimately not completed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An internal audit process revealed that CEMEX Colombia made payments for an aggregate amount equivalent to approximately U.S.$20.5 million to the same person
that was the legal representative of the Maceo selling entity and of CEMEX Colombia. These payments were deposited to the bank account of the legal representative as advances under the MOU and for the other land CEMEX Colombia was purchasing. As
announced in September&nbsp;23, 2016, as the officers responsible for the implementation and execution of the above referenced payments, two senior members of CEMEX Latam and CEMEX Colombia&#146;s were recently terminated and the Chief Executive
Officer resigned. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The payments made by CEMEX Colombia for the properties and mining rights in Maceo, as well as for the adjacent land, were made in
violation of CEMEX and CEMEX Latam&#146;s internal policies and, potentially, of applicable Colombian laws. As a consequence, CEMEX Latam and CEMEX Colombia have brought the matter to the attention of the Colombian Attorney General so that it can
take any actions it deems appropriate. As per the requirements of the audit committees of CEMEX and CEMEX Latam, CEMEX Colombia has also retained external counsel to assist CEMEX Latam and CEMEX Colombia in their collaboration with the Colombian
Attorney General. In accordance with CEMEX Latam&#146;s controls and customary procedures, an independent audit team reporting to external legal counsel in Colombia has been engaged. CEMEX&#146;s external auditors are also reviewing CEMEX&#146;s
internal audit documentation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of today, CEMEX is not able to assess the likelihood that these investigations and the departures of the above mentioned
officers will lead to any actions that could impact CEMEX. CEMEX also is not able to assess whether the Colombian authorities will issue an adverse resolution regarding the legal proceedings for the expiration of property over the Maceo selling
entity&#146;s rights to dispose its assets. However, if CEMEX Colombia receives an adverse resolution to any legal proceeding to which it is a party (after exhausting all legal recourses available against any adverse resolution), and if the Lease is
terminated or cannot be extended, these situations are currently not expected to have a material adverse impact on CEMEX&#146;s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. </P>
