By virtue of the stipulations in Article 9 and subparagraph 2 of Article 10 of Law 18,045, and the provisions in General Rule No. 30, Section II of the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (today Securities Exchange Commission), and being duly empowered to this effect, I hereby report the following regarding Embotelladora Andina S.A. (“Andina”, "Company"), its business, its securities or tender offer, as a material event:

 

On this date, Andina together with Coca Cola Embonor S.A., have subscribed a Distribution Agreement with Sociedad Anónima Viña Santa Rita (hereinafter, the “Agreement”) by virtue of which both companies will assume the sale, commercialization and distribution of certain Sociedad Anónima Viña Santa Rita products, in certain regions of the country.

 

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

 

Among the brands of products of Sociedad Anónima Viña Santa Rita that will be distributed by Andina in the regions of Antofagasta, Atacama, Coquimbo, Metropolitana, Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo y Magallanes and Antártica Chilena, as well as in Cachapoal and San Antonio, are included, among others, Casa Real, Medalla Real, Carmen, and 120.

 

Although at this moment it is not possible to anticipate the incremental volume that this transaction will generate, it is reported that in 2020 the volumes of the products included in the Agreement, in the territory where they will be commercialized by Andina, reached approximately 6,3 million unit cases, and the net sales amounted approximately $39.000 million.

 

The Agreement will have a validity of 5 years starting from November 2^nd, 2021 and to this date the services must have initialized. Such term shall be renewable under the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.
