CEMEX ANNOUNCES DIVIDEND OF US$0.0745 PER CPO

 

MONTERREY, MEXICO, April 26, 2007 - CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX) shareholders approved at their Annual Shareholders Meeting held today the proposal to increase the capital stock of CEMEX in its variable portion through capitalization charged against retained earnings, subject to confirmation by CEMEX’s Board of Directors at a Board Meeting scheduled for May 31, 2007. This increase in capital will be used to distribute a CPO stock dividend per CPO of US$0.0745 at the US dollar / Mexican peso exchange rate determined by the Banco de México for transactions on May 31, 2007, with the amount of CPOs to be distributed to be based on the weighted-average price of all CEMEX CPO transactions on May 30, 2007, reflected in the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (Mexican Stock Exchange), minus a 20% discount.

CPO holders who do not wish to receive the CPO stock dividend can elect to receive a cash payment of US$0.0745 per CPO in lieu of the CPO stock dividend, in pesos at the US dollar / Mexican peso exchange rate determined by the Banco de México for transactions on May 31, 2007. Because the CPO stock dividend will reflect a 20% discount from market, CPO holders who elect the cash dividend may receive substantially less in value than those CPO holders who receive the stock dividend.

The last date to acquire CPOs or ADSs with dividend rights is on May 7, 2007.

Holders of record of CPOs on May 10, 2007 (the record date) will be entitled to receive the CPO stock dividend or they can elect to receive cash in lieu of the stock dividend. ADS holders will be entitled to receive only a stock dividend; however, CEMEX intends to instruct the ADS Depositary to extend to ADS holders the opportunity to sell all or a portion of the additional stock they will receive as a result of the stock dividend into the market and to receive the net cash proceeds from such sales.

Holders of ADSs can convert into CPOs and CPO holders can convert into ADSs by May 7, 2007 in order to select the desired alternative.
