MATERIAL EVENT

 

CORPORATE NAME	:	EMBOTELLADORA ANDINA S.A.
SECURITIES REGISTRY	:	00124
TAXPAYER I.D.	:	91.144.000-8

 

 

By virtue of Article 9 and subparagraph 2 of Article 10 of Law 18,045, and the provisions in General Rule No. 30 of the Comisión para el Mercado Financiero, and duly empowered, I hereby report the following information with respect to Embotelladora Andina S.A. (“Andina” or the “Company”), its business, its securities and tender offer, as material event:

 

On November 2, 2020, Andina informed as a material event that Envases CMF S.A. (“CMF”), a closed stock company, owned in its 50% by the Company, and Fábrica de Envases Plásticos S.A. (“Plasco”), a closed stock company, subsidiary of Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A., executed a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) settling forth the preliminary terms and conditions for the incorporation of a new company, which ownership was to be equally divided between CMF and Plasco, and which purpose would have been the production and commercialization of post-consumer PET resin in Chile (the “Transaction”).

 

As of today, CMF and Plasco have decided not to proceed with the Transaction, and, accordingly, have subscribed an agreement by virtue of which, by mutual consent, they agree to effectively terminate the MOU, granting each other the broadest release from any and all obligations arising from the MOU.
