By Rebecca Melvin

New York, Nov. 28 – Cemex SAB de CV upsized its offering of seven-year senior secured notes to €650 million from €400 million and set the yield at 2¾% but has not yet finally priced the deal, according to a market source.

The Rule 144A and Regulation S notes were initially talked to yield in the 3¼% area, and books were oversubscribed with orders of more than €2.6 billion.

Any remainder is earmarked for general corporate purposes, including repayment of other debt, in accordance with the company’s facilities agreement of July 19, 2017. And pending such application, proceeds may also be applied to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under a revolving credit facility tranche of the 2017 credit agreement or short-term bilateral facilities.
