Cemex Latam Holdings delisting tender offer
Date: 2023
We acted as counsel to CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. and also to CEMEX España, S.A. in the delisting tender offer launched by CEMEX España for the ordinary shares of CEMEX Latam Holdings, S.A. (“CLH”) a Spanish domiciled company listed in the Colombian stock exchange (Bolsa de Valores de Colombia).
The offering purchase price per ordinary share was COP$4,735 (aprox. USD$ 0.99), as determined by and independent appraiser and CEMEX España acquired a total of 23,232,946 ordinary shares of CLH, which represent 4.15% of all the outstanding ordinary shares of CLH and 88.40% of the maximum number of shares that were available to be acquired by CEMEX España through the tender offer, for an aggregate amount of COP$110,007,999,310 (aprox. USD$ 23,159,579).
One of the main challenges was that both CEMEX España and CLH are companies incorporated in Spain and are subject to the Spanish corporate regulation, but CLH, as a publicly traded company in the Colombian stock exchange was also subject to the Colombian securities exchange regulation, and that required an effort to align the requirements of the delisting tender offer with the Spanish corporate regulation.
