This Amendment No.3 - Final Amendment to the Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule TO (the "Schedule TO"), filed initially with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2002, relates to the offer by
Tricem Acquisition, Corp. (the "Purchaser"), a Puerto Rico corporation and
an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CEMEX, S.A. de C.V., a company
organized under the laws of the United Mexican States ("CEMEX"), to
purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of Puerto Rican Cement
Company, Inc., a Puerto Rico corporation (the "Company"), par value U.S.
$1.00 per share (the "Shares"), at U.S. $35.00 per share, net to the seller
in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 1, 2002 (the
"Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which,
together with any amendments or supplements thereto, constitute the
"Offer"), which were filed as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively, to
the Schedule TO. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms
used herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the
Offer to Purchase.
Items 8 and 11. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company;
Additional Information.
Items 8 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and
supplemented to add the following:
The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight Eastern time on Monday, July
29, 2002. Following the expiration of the Offer, the Purchaser accepted for
payment all Shares theretofore validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant
to the Offer. The Purchaser was informed by Citibank, N.A. (as depositary
for the Offer, the "Depositary") that approximately 5,028,841 Shares were
validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the expiration of the Offer,
including approximately 4,169 Shares tendered by notice of guaranteed
delivery. This number of Shares represented approximately 97.7% of the
issued and outstanding Shares of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all remaining
publicly held Shares (other than Shares with respect to which the holder
exercises appraisal rights under Puerto Rico law) will be acquired for
U.S.$35.00 per Share in a subsequent second-step merger of the Purchaser
and the Company (the "Merger") upon satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions to the Merger under the Merger Agreement. As a result of the
purchase of 97.7% of the outstanding Shares by the Purchaser in the Offer,
the Merger will be completed without a vote of holders of Shares, in
accordance with applicable law. It is anticipated that the merger will
occur as promptly as practicable. Remaining public holders of Shares will
be sent materials to allow them to exchange their Shares for U.S.$35.00 per
Share promptly following the Merger.
