Re: Response to Official Circular #574

Dear Commissioner:

Pursuant to Official Circular #574 of March 1, 2010, please be advised of the following:

-
Our plant located in the borough of San Joaquin suffered minor damage that required interrupting operations there from dawn on February 27th to the afternoon of March 1st;

-
Our subsidiary Vital S.A. and our colligated Envases Central S.A., had to suspend operations because of moderately serious damage to their production lines.  We estimate that such damage should be repaired in no more than 5 days;

-
Our storage and distribution center located in the borough of Renca was forced to interrupt operations because of the breakage and partial spill of products stored there at the time of the earthquake.  We estimate that this facility will resume operations in a period of two days;

-
The rest of our operations continued uninterrupted and have not suffered damage that impairs normal functioning;

-
Our company carries insurance protecting against property damage and business interruption; and

-
Our company is in the process of contacting its main suppliers to confirm that supply of the inputs necessary to produce and distribute products will not be interrupted.

Very sincerely yours,
