Restricted Stock Incentive Plan (RSIP)<br />
Since January 2005, we have been changing our long-term variable compensation programs from stock option grants to<br />
restricted stock awards under a Restricted Stock Incentive Plan, or RSIP. Under the terms of the RSIP, eligible employees are<br />
allocated a specific number of restricted CPOs as variable compensation to be vested over a four-year period. Before 2006, we<br />
distributed annually to a trust an amount in cash sufficient to purchase in the market, on behalf of each eligible employee, 25% of such<br />
employee’s allocated number of CPOs. During 2006, in order to reduce the volatility of our RSIP, we began to distribute annually an<br />
amount in cash sufficient to purchase 100% of the allocated CPOs for each eligible employee. Although the vesting period of the<br />
restricted CPOs and other features of the RSIP did not change as a result of this new policy, the nominal amount of annual<br />
compensation received by eligible employees increased in proportion to the additional number of CPOs received as a result of the new<br />
policy. The CPOs purchased by the trust were held in a restricted account by the trust on behalf of each employee for four years. At<br />
the end of each year during such four-year period, the restrictions lapsed with respect to 25% of the allocated CPOs and such CPOs<br />
became freely transferable and subject to withdrawal from the trust.<br />
Starting in 2009, we made additional changes to the mechanism for granting the RSIP, but the benefits remained the same as in<br />
previous years. First, CPOs are no longer purchased in the open market, but instead CEMEX issues new CPOs to cover the RSIP.<br />
Second, CEMEX now issues the RSIP in four blocks of 25% per year. The total number of CEMEX CPOs granted during 2010 was<br />
approximately 37 million, of which approximately .8 million were related to senior management and the board of directors. In 2010,<br />
approximately 25.7 million CPOs were issued, representing the first 25% of the 2010 program and the second 25% of the 2009<br />
program. Of these 25.7 million CPOs, 1.4 million corresponded to senior management and the board of directors. See note 17 to our<br />
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
