 (2) The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as modified by Fee Advisory No. 6 for the fiscal year 2007, equals $30.70 per $1,000,000 of transaction valuation. $286,357 was paid on November 14, 2006, in accordance with Fee Advisory No. 3 for Fiscal Year 2007.

 This Amendment No. 24 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2006 (the “Schedule TO”) and amended thereafter. The Schedule TO, as amended, relates to the offer by CEMEX Australia Pty Ltd (“Bidder”), a proprietary company registered under the laws of Victoria, Australia and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”), to acquire all the outstanding ordinary shares and American depositary shares of Rinker Group Limited, a public company registered under the laws of New South Wales, Australia (“Rinker”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer (the “Offer”) (including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), as described in the Bidder’s Statement, dated October 30, 2006 (as amended, the “Bidder’s Statement”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule TO, as amended. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined have the meanings given to them in the Bidder’s Statement.

        On July 10, 2007, CEMEX issued a Press Release announcing that, having acquired more than 90% of the Rinker shares, it will now proceed to compulsorily acquire all Rinker shares which are not acquired under the Offer.  This Press Release is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(G) hereto.

On July 10, 2007, CEMEX also lodged a compulsory acquisition notice with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.  This compulsory acquisition notice will be sent to the remaining Rinker shareholders together with a covering letter and a consideration election form.  Such compulsory acquisition notice, covering letter and consideration election form are attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(H), Exhibit (a)(5)(I) and Exhibit (a)(5)(J), respectively, hereto.
