Santiago, Chile April 17, 2012

 

Embotelladora Andina announced today that it has filed an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This filing fullfills the SEC’s requirement as to the incorporation of the conciliation of transition cash flows

 

from Chile GAAP to IFRS for the year 2009.  Additionally, some accounts have been reclassified which do not impact the Company´s Total Equity, Operating Income, Net Income or Cash Flows.

 

The document can be accessed by visiting either www.embotelladoraandina.com or www.sec.gov.

 

Shareholders may receive a hard copy of the report, which includes Embotelladora Andina´s audited financial statements, free of charge through the contact listed above.

 

 

Embotelladora Andina is among the ten largest Coca-Cola bottlers in the world, servicing franchised territories with 36 million people, delivering over 7.8 million liters of soft drinks, juices, and bottled waters on a daily basis. It is a stock corporation controlled in equal parts by the Garcés Silva, Hurtado Berger, Said Handal and Said Somavía families. In Chile, Andina has the franchise to produce and commercialize Coca-Cola products through Embotelladora Andina; in Brazil through Rio de Janeiro Refrescos; and in Argentina through Embotelladora del Atlántico. The Company’s value creation proposal is to be the market leader for non-alcoholic beverages, developing an excellent relationship with the consumers of its products as well as with its employees, clients, suppliers and with Coca-Cola, its strategic partner. For more information, visit the Company’s website.

 

This release may contain forward-looking statements reflecting Embotelladora Andina’s good faith expectations and are based upon currently available data; however, actual results are subject to numerous uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and any one or more of which could materially impact actual performance. Among the factors that can cause performance to differ materially are:  political and economic conditions on consumer spending, pricing pressure resulting from competitive discounting by other bottlers, climatic conditions in the Southern Cone, and other risk factors applicable from time to time and listed in Andina’s periodic reports filed with relevant regulatory institutions, also available on our website under “The Company-Risk Factors.”
