This Amendment No. 7 (“Amendment No. 7”) amends and supplements the combined Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement initially filed under cover of Schedule TO on November 17, 2003 (as amended, the “Schedule TO”) by CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. (“CEMEX”), a corporation organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (“Mexico”), relating to the offer by CEMEX and its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, CEMEX, Inc. (the “Offer”), to purchase up to 90,018,042 of its issued and outstanding Appreciation Warrants (including Appreciation Warrants represented by ADWs, each ADW representing five Appreciation Warrants) at a single price in Mexican Pesos not greater than Ps8.10 per Appreciation Warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps40.50 per ADW) nor less than Ps5.10 per Appreciation Warrant (U.S.$ equivalent of Ps25.50 per ADW) in cash. CEMEX reserves the right to extend the Offer for up to three months or terminate the Offer, in its sole and absolute discretion, which may be for any or no reason, and to otherwise amend the Offer in any respect. The Offer is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Revised Offer to Purchase dated December 23, 2003 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related letter of transmittal (which, as either may be amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Disclosure Documents”). The Offer to Purchase and the letter of transmittal are attached to Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively. This Amendment No. 6 amends and supplements the Schedule TO filed on November 17, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on November 19, 2003, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on December 11, 2003, Amendment No. 7 thereto filed on December 17, 2003, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on December 22, 2003, Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on December 23, 2003 and Amendment No. 6 thereto filed on January 20, 2004.
