The proceeds of the transaction will be used predominantly for debt reduction and general corporate purposes.
The closing of this transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including approval from regulators. Cemex currently expects to finalise this divestiture during 4Q16 or soon thereafter.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch is acting as financial advisor to Cemex.
