Yes [ ] No [X] (Free English translation of Spanish original) Santiago, April 19, 2005 Mr. Alejandro Ferreiro Y. Superintendent Superintendency of Securities and Insurance Santiago Re.: MATERIAL FACT Dear Sir: In accordance with Section 9 and Section 10, second paragraph, of Act No. 18.045, and in accordance with the General Rule No. 30, I hereby inform to the Superintendency the material fact detailed below. At a board meeting held on April 18, 2005, it was agreed to terminate the ADR program of Cristalerias de Chile S.A. ("Cristalchile"), thereby directing the general manager to instruct The Bank of New York, a banking entity acting as the depositary of such program, to terminate the deposit agreement, which shall occur 60 days after the ADS holders are notified of the referred instruction. In turn, if no unforeseen events occur, the termination of such contract will trigger the delisting of the company's ADSs with the New York Stock Exchange, which is expected to take place before June 30, 2005. Further, the board of directors directed the general manager to request the deregistration of Cristalchile's ADSs before the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States. The foregoing decision is mainly based on the circumstance that as of April 18, 2005, only 1.7% of the total outstanding shares of Cristalchile were represented by ADSs and also that as of the same date less than 300 ADS holders had their domicile or residence in the United States.
