In accordance with the provisions of Article 9 and Article 10, paragraph two of Law No. 18,045, and General Rule No. 30 of the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, and duly authorized to that effect by the board of directors, I hereby inform the following regarding Embotelladora Andina S.A. (the “Company”), its business, its values of public offering or the tender of them as a material event:

 

On this date, Rio de Janeiro Refrescos Ltda. (“RJR”), a subsidiary of Embotelladora Andina S.A. in Brazil, on one part ; and, on the other, Renosa Industria Brasileira de Bebidas S.A. (“Renosa”) have signed a promissory purchase agreement containing the conditions leading to the acquisition by RJR of 100% of the equity interest held by Renosa in Sorocaba Refrescos S.A. (“Sorocaba”), which is equivalent to 40% of the total shares of Sorocaba.

 

The promissory agreement should be fulfilled within a period of 180 days, and the execution of the agreement is subject to certain suspensive conditions, including the approval of the operation by the Brazilian antitrust authorities.

 

If there are no adjustments in the purchase price, the transaction described above would involve an approximate amount of R$145 million Brazilian Reais (R$).

 

Sorocaba is a bottler of The Coca-Cola System that operates in the southern region of Sao Paulo, Brazil. During 2011 sales volume amounted to 37 million unit cases, with revenues amounting to R$246 million and an EBITDA of R$41 million.

 

The financial effects of this transaction will be informed once it is completely materialized.
