II. Equity forwards in third party shares<br />

CEMEX, S.A.B. DE C.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES<br />

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)<br />

As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008<br />

(Millions of Mexican pesos)<br />

In connection with the sale of CPOs of AXTEL (note 9A) and in order to maintain the exposure to changes in the price of such entity, in<br />

March 2008, CEMEX entered into a forward contract to be settled in cash over the price of 119 million CPOs of AXTEL (59.5 million CPOs<br />

with each counterparty) which originally was set to mature in April 2011. During 2009, in order to reset the exercise price included in the<br />

contract, CEMEX instructed the counterparties to definitively dispose of the deposits in margin accounts for approximately Ps207 and the<br />

counterparties exercised an option to maintain the contract over 59.5 million CPOs of AXTEL each until October 2011. During 2010, one of<br />

the counterparties further extended the maturity of 50% of the notional amount of this forward contract to April 2012. Changes in the fair<br />

value of this instrument generated a loss of approximately US$43 (Ps545) in 2010, a gain of approximately US$32 (Ps435) in 2009 and a loss<br />

of approximately US$196 (Ps2,197) in 2008.<br />

III. Forward instruments over indexes<br />

During 2008, CEMEX negotiated forward derivative instruments over the TRI (Total Return Index) of the Mexican Stock Exchange,<br />

maturing in October 2009, through which CEMEX maintained exposure to increases or decreases of such index. TRI expresses the market<br />

return on stocks based on market capitalization of the issuers comprising the index. At their maturity in 2009, these derivative instruments<br />

were renegotiated until October 2010 and subsequently were further extended until October 2011. Changes in the fair value of these<br />

instruments generated gains of approximately US$5 (Ps63) in 2010 and US$18 (Ps245) in 2009 and a loss of approximately US$32 (Ps359)<br />

in 2008.<br />

IV. Options on CEMEX’s own shares<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were options based on the price of CEMEX’s ADSs for a notional amount of US$500 in both years<br />

maturing in August 2011, structured within a debt transaction of US$500 (Ps6,870) issued in June 2008, pursuant to which if the ADS price<br />

exceeds approximately US$30.4, as adjusted as of December 31, 2010, the net interest rate of this debt would be zero. This rate increases as the<br />

price of the ADS decreases, with a maximum rate of 12% when the price per ADS is below approximately US$20.5, as adjusted as of December<br />

31, 2010. CEMEX values the options based on the price of its ADS at fair value, recognizing gains and losses in the statements of operations.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value represented liabilities of approximately US$71 (Ps878) and US$77 (Ps952), respectively,<br />

which included deposits in margin accounts of approximately US$105 (Ps1,298) in 2010 and US$54 (Ps707) in 2009. Changes in the fair value<br />

were recognized in the statements of operations within “Results from financial instruments,” representing losses of approximately US$21<br />

(Ps266) in 2010, a gain of approximately US$2 (Ps25) in 2009 and a loss of approximately US$150 (Ps1,681) in 2008.<br />

On March 30, 2010, in connection with the offering of the 2010 Optional Convertible Subordinated Notes and with the intention to effectively<br />

increase the conversion price for CEMEX’s CPOs under such notes, CEMEX entered into a capped call transaction over approximately 52.6<br />

million ADSs maturing in March 2015, by means of which, at maturity of the notes, if the price per ADS is above US$13.60, CEMEX will<br />

receive in cash the difference between the market price of the ADS and US$13.60, with a maximum appreciation per ADS of US$5.23.<br />

CEMEX paid a premium of approximately US$105. As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of such contract represented an asset of<br />

approximately US$95 (Ps1,174). During 2010, changes in the fair value of this instrument generated a loss of approximately US$11 (Ps139),<br />

which was recognized in the statement of operations.<br />

In April 2008, Citibank entered into put option transactions on CEMEX's CPOs with a Mexican trust that CEMEX established on behalf of its<br />

Mexican pension fund and certain of CEMEX’s directors and current and former employees, as described in note 19C. CEMEX granted a<br />

guarantee over this transaction for a notional amount of approximately US$360. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of such<br />

guarantee, net of deposits in margin accounts, represented liabilities of approximately US$95 (Ps1,174) and US$2 (Ps26), respectively.<br />

Changes in the fair value were recognized in the statements of operations within “Results from financial instruments,” representing a loss of<br />

approximately US$6 (Ps76) in 2010, a gain of approximately US$51 (Ps694) in 2009 and a loss of approximately US$190 (Ps2,130) in 2008.<br />

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, cash deposits in margin accounts were approximately US$55 (Ps680) and US$141 (Ps1,846),<br />

respectively.<br />

In addition, in October 2008, through the early settlement of forward contracts over approximately 81 million CPOs, CEMEX realized a loss<br />

of approximately US$153 (Ps2,102), which was recognized in the 2008 results.<br />
