The documents described in item II of the Meeting’s Agenda are expected to be made publicly available on Cemex’s website (www.cemex.com) by no later than February 23, 2024.

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

Similar to what was discussed and approved in Cemex’s Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held in 2023, the discussion and approval to set the amount of a reserve that would be used for the repurchase of Cemex’s shares or other securities representing such shares is being proposed. The share buyback program being proposed would be for an amount of up to U.S. $500 million, for the period starting on March 22, 2024 and ending on the date of Cemex’s next Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, which is expected to be held no later than April 30, 2025.

In general, the procedures and approvals followed for the repurchase of Cemex’s sharesin previous years, which were in force during 2023, would be followed until the date of Cemex’s next Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting. 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 bind Cemex to acquire any particular amount of stock, nor does it mean that any 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 price, 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.

The documents described in item III of the Meeting’s Agenda are expected to be made publicly available on Cemex’s website (www.cemex.com) by no later than February 23, 2024.

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

The approval of the extension for up to five years (December 31, 2028) of the restricted stock incentive plan (“RSIP”) for eligible employees of Cemex is being proposed. For reference, the information on the compensation of Cemex’s directors and senior management can be found in the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed by Cemex with the Mexican Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores), the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores), and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2023; and audited information on stock-based compensation paid for the year ended December 31, 2023 will be publicly available no later than February 23, 2024, along with the most relevant terms and conditions of the RSIP. Likewise, for background purposes, at Cemex’s ordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on April 5, 2018, it was agreed to extend the RSIP until December 31, 2023. Once again, it is being proposed to extend the RSIP until December 31, 2028.

The documents described in item IV of the Meeting’s Agenda are expected to be made publicly available on Cemex’s website (www.cemex.com) by no later than February 23, 2024.
