Information reported to the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance

On January 21, 2005, Quinenco S.A. (LQ:NYSE) reported the following information
to the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (SVS):

During the past several days, diverse information has been reported in the press
with respect to an announcement by Cencosud of its intention to make a tender
offer on Alamcenes Paris and subsequently merge Cencosud with Paris. The press
has reported that Quinenco will respond with a counter tender offer (including
price per share speculations), and we wish to clarify the following:

      a)    Our company has not participated in any way in the reported
            information. It is rather a product of speculation that most likely
            aims to generate alterations in the share price.

      b)    Quinenco has made statements to the press that it is evaluating its
            plans and will analyze its alternatives, among which could include
            legal action to enforce the Right of First Refusal Agreement that
            formed part of the share purchase agreement when Quinenco acquired
            Paris shares from the Galmez family, and in particular against Jorge
            Galmez who has instigated the proposed merger of Paris with
            Cencosud.

      c)    In order to avoid confusion in the market, we feel it is necessary
            to clarify that the Right of First Refusal Agreement (this document
            has been delivered to our Superintendent and is duly registered in
            the Paris Shareholders' Register) restricts any change in share
            ownership or rights associated with said shares, particularly with
            respect to a merger without the prior consent of the members of the
            agreement, of which Quinenco is a member.

      d)    We regret that the press has been used to report information in a
            speculative manner as it serves to damage the transparency under
            which the stock market operates and tends to distort share prices,
            thereby harming all of the parties involved.

      e)    As has always been our policy, we will duly report to the
            Superintendent and the market in general any decisions that may
            eventually be taken with respect to our interest in the foregoing
            matter.

report that today, our subsidiaries Rio Azul S.A. and Nahuel S.A., together with
Consorcio Financiero S.A. and its subsidiary, Manquihue S.A. have requested the
constitution of an arbitration panel with respect to the Right of First Refusal
Agreement dated October 5, 2005 before the Centro de Arbitraje y Mediacion de la
Camera de Comercio de Santiago (The Santiago Chamber of Commerce Center for
Arbitration).

Our objective is to exercise legal action in response to the violation of the
Right of First Refusal Agreement we maintain with Inversiones y Rentas Cerro
