receive an early participation fee of EUR50 per EUR1,000 of
principal amount tendered. Eligible holders of the Perpetual
Debentures who properly tender their Perpetual Debentures by the
Revised Early Tender Date and do not validly withdraw their
Perpetual Debentures by the Revised Withdrawal Deadline will
receive an early participation fee of U.S.$30 per U.S.$1,000 of
principal amount tendered for the U.S. Dollar-denominated Perpetual
Debentures, and EUR30 per EUR1,000 of principal amount tendered for
the Euro-denominated Perpetual Debentures. The early participation
fee will be paid in the form of additional principal amount of New
Notes in denominations of EUR1,000 principal amount of Euro Notes
or U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Dollar Notes, as applicable, with
the total amount of consideration rounded down to the nearest
EUR1,000 or U.S.$1,000, as the case may be. Eligible holders that

withdraw them after the Revised Withdrawal Deadline.
As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 9, 2012, the
following approximate amounts had been properly tendered and not
withdrawn, by series:
(1) EUR472,200,000 in aggregate principal amount (or 53%) of
outstanding Eurobonds (excluding those owned by CEMEX, if any).

In the event holders of Eurobonds and holders of 6.277%
Fixed-to-Floating Rate Callable Perpetual Debentures elect to
receive Dollar Notes, the amount of Dollar Note consideration to be

March 9, 2012. This exchange rate shall remain fixed for the
duration of the Exchange Offers.
