(“CEMEX”) anticipates disclosing to prospective purchasers certain information that has not been previously publicly reported. This private placement is being made under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the securities will be sold only to qualified institutional buyers and to offshore investors in transactions exempt from registration under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.
