Mr.
Superintendent
Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros


To whom it may concern:

Pursuant to the provisions established in article nine, paragraph two of article 10 of Law No. 18,045 of the Securities Market and in General Rule No. 30 of the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros (“SVS”), being duly authorized, I hereby report as an important event the adoption of the following agreements by the board of directors of Masisa S.A. (“Masisa”) in an extraordinary meeting held on November 16, 2006:

1) Agreement with Banco de Chile, in its role as representative of the bond holders, regarding certain modifications to the default events included in the indenture agreement, dated November 10, 2003 and registered with the Equities’ Registry of the SVS under the N°356 (the "Indenture"), in order to reconcile the details of the default obligations of the Indenture with those applicable to other bonds issued by Masisa.

2) Authorization of Masisa’s management to issue and place in the local market the bonds contemplated by the Indenture in an amount up to UF2,500,000. The proceeds from these bonds will be used to finance investments and/or the payment or prepayment of financial obligations of Masisa and/or its subsidiaries. The principal characteristics of these bonds, such as amount, due dates and probable interest rate, will be duly reported to that SVS at the time the bonds to be issued under the Indenture are registered.

Sincerely,

Patricio Reyes
General Counsel
