What is being proposed under item III of the Agenda for the Meeting?

As required under Mexican law, the presentation by CEMEX’s Board of Directors of the report that contains the procedures and approvals (the “Procedures and Approvals”) that were implemented and followed regarding CEMEX’s share buyback program that was established and executed during the 2022 calendar year is being proposed. As a general reference, 661,927,434 CEMEX ordinary shares which are equivalent, in Ordinary Participation Certificates (“CPO”) terms, to 220,642,478 CPOs, were purchased during the 2022 calendar year under CEMEX’s share buyback program.

Additional details, if any, on this item III of the agenda of the Meeting, are expected to be made available on CEMEX’s website (www.cemex.com) by no later than February 23, 2023.

What is being proposed under item IV of the Agenda for the Meeting?

Similar to what was discussed and approved in CEMEX’s Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held in 2022, this item includes the discussion and approval to set the amount of a reserve that would be used for the repurchase of CEMEX’s shares or other instruments representing such shares. The share buyback program being proposed would be of up to U.S.$500 million, starting on March 23, 2023, and would last until the date of CEMEX’s next Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, expected to be held no later than April 30, 2024.

In general, the Procedures and Approvals followed during previous years, and which were in force during 2022 for the repurchase of CEMEX’s shares, would be followed during 2023. In particular, if the proposal is approved, repurchases under the share buyback program would be made from time to time at prevailing market prices in open market purchases in Mexico, as determined by the Chairman of CEMEX’s Board of Directors, CEMEX’s CEO or CEMEX’s Executive Vice President of Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer. This share buyback program does not obligate CEMEX to acquire any particular amount of stock, nor does it mean that the buyback will take place. The timing, frequency and amount of any buyback activity will depend on a variety of factors, such as levels of cash generation from operations, cash requirements for investment in CEMEX’s business, CEMEX’s stock prices, market conditions and other factors such as restrictions in CEMEX’s debt agreements, if any. The share buyback program may be suspended, amended, or discontinued at any time and has no set expiration date.

Additional details, if any, on this item IV of the agenda of the Meeting, are expected to be made available on CEMEX’s website (www.cemex.com) by no later than February 23, 2023.
