Slide 17

Debt-related information During the quarter: We repurchased approximately US$242 million of 7.250% senior secured notes due 2021 through a cash tender offer In relation to our Credit Agreement, we pre-paid in November US$373 million corresponding to the September 2017 amortization under the Credit Agreement; in exchange for this prepayment, US$664 million of funded commitments in the Credit Agreement maturing in 2018 were exchanged into a revolving facility, maintaining the same terms and conditions, including amortization schedule. In January: S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") upgraded our Corporate credit rating in its global scale to BB- from B+ and to mxA- from mxBBB in its national scale, which will allow CEMEX to potentially access the institutional Mexican bond market. The rating outlook is stable. In February: CEMEX Holdings Philippines, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of CEMEX, signed an agreement for a 7-year loan facility for up to the Philippine Peso equivalent of US$280 million, to refinance indebtedness owed to an indirect subsidiary of CEMEX. In turn, CEMEX expects to apply the net proceeds to general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.
