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”), as a material event:

 

I hereby inform that today, Andina, on one side, and Empresa Cooperativa Agrícola y Pisquera Elqui Ltda. and Viña Francisco de Aguirre S.A. (both together, the “Producers”), on the other, entered into a Distribution Agreement for the distribution of the products of the Producers in the Chilean territories of the Metropolitan Region, the Province of San Antonio and the Province of Cachapoal, as well as the Regions of Antofagasta, Atacama, Coquimbo, Aysén and Magallanes (the “Agreement”). Among the brands of products to be distributed are Alto del Carmen®, Capel®, Artesanos del Cochiguaz®, Monte Fraile®, Sensus®, Inca de Oro® and Francisco de Aguirre®, among others.

 

The Agreement is part of the Company´s growth and product portfolio diversification strategy, initiated in 2018, by joining the commercialization and distribution of alcoholic beverages market.

 

Considering that the incremental sales volume of this transaction and the selling price of the products to be distributed are still unknown, it is not possible for us to determine the potential effect of the Agreement on the Company's financial statements.
