According to Cemex, the closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including approval from regulators. The proceeds gained from the transaction will primarily be used for debt reduction and general corporate purposes, Cemex adds.

Cemex expects to finalize the sale during the first quarter of 2017.
