 <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 December&nbsp;9, 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 it
had received a subpoena from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) seeking information to determine whether there have been any violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (&#147;FCPA&#148;). This subpoena
arises from the matter previously reported by CEMEX 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 (the &#147;Maceo Project&#148;).
This subpoena does not mean that the SEC has concluded that CEMEX or any of its affiliates has broken the law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As previously disclosed, internal audits
and investigations by CEMEX and CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (&#147;CEMEX Latam&#148;) had raised questions about payments relating to the Maceo Project. Those payments, totaling approximately U.S.$20.5 million, were made to a non-governmental third
party in connection with the acquisition of the land, mining rights, and benefits of the tax free zone for the Maceo Project. These payments did not adhere to CEMEX&#146;s and CEMEX Latam&#146;s established protocols. As announced on
September&nbsp;23, 2016, the CEMEX Latam and CEMEX Colombia officers responsible for the implementation and execution of the above referenced payments were terminated and the then Chief Executive Officer of CEMEX Latam resigned. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CEMEX Latam and CEMEX Colombia had already, in September 2016, brought the matter to the attention of the Colombian Attorney General, so that it could take
any actions it deemed 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, which is still conducting its investigation. In accordance with CEMEX Latam&#146;s controls and customary procedures, an independent audit team reporting to external legal counsel in Colombia was engaged. CEMEX&#146;s external
auditors are also reviewing CEMEX&#146;s internal audit documentation. CEMEX maintains an anti-bribery policy applicable to all of its employees and subsidiaries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CEMEX has been cooperating with the SEC and the Colombian Attorney General and intends to continue cooperating fully with the SEC and the Colombian Attorney
General. It is possible that the United States Department of Justice or investigatory entities in other jurisdictions may also open investigations into this matter. To the extent they do so, CEMEX intends to cooperate fully with those inquiries, as
well. At this point, CEMEX is unable to predict the duration, scope, or outcome of the SEC investigation or any other investigation that may arise; however, CEMEX does not expect this matter to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated
results of operations, liquidity or financial position. </P>
