CEMEX SELECTS GLOBAL COORDINATORS TO REFINANCE UPCOMING MATURITIES

Monterrey, Mexico. November 14, 2008 - CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX) announces that it has selected BBVA, Citi, HSBC, RBS and Banco Santander, S.A. to lead a global effort to i) negotiate joint bilateral facilities for CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. and CEMEX España S.A. that will replace existing bilateral facilities with a group of banks, and ii) amend certain existing syndicated loan facilities.

Completion of these transactions, including the amendments, may, depending on the facility, require majority consent from the lenders under the corresponding facility. If consents are obtained, CEMEX would achieve greater financial flexibility by lengthening the maturity of the bilateral and syndicated facilities.

CEMEX is a growing global building materials company that provides high-quality products and reliable service to customers and communities in more than 50 countries throughout the world. CEMEX has a rich history of improving the well-being of those it serves through its efforts to pursue innovative industry solutions and efficiency advancements and to promote a sustainable future.
