Coca-Cola Andina announces acquisition of Guallarauco in Chile

This acquisition will complement our portfolio of non-carbonated beverages in Chile, and will incorporate the businesses of frozen fruit, 100% juices and pure fruit ice cream, among others.

(Santiago-Chile, January 5, 2018.)

Today, Coca-Cola Andina, Coca-Cola de Chile S.A., Coca-Cola del Valle New Ventures S.A. and Embonor S.A., as buyers, and Inversiones Siemel S.A. as seller, entered into a stock purchase agreement for 100% of the shares of Comercializadora Novaverde S.A. (“Guallarauco”), a Chilean company dedicated to produce and commercialize juices, ice cream, and frozen fruits, mainly under the brand Guallarauco. The transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent, including but not limited to, the authorization of the transaction by the Chilean Antitrust Authorities.

The transaction does not include the acquisition of the avocado business line and General Mills products sales.

Should the transaction materialize, the purchase price of the 100% of the shares of Guallarauco would be around the equivalent of 1,785,374 Unidades de Fomento (equivalent to approximately Ch$47.852 million), less the value of its financial debt at the time the transaction materializes. The above-mentioned price may be modified based on purchase price adjustments set forth in the purchase agreement.

Once the transaction has been materialized, which is estimated to occur during the first semester of 2018, the property of Guallarauco will be as follows: (i) Coca-Cola del Valle New Ventures S.A. will own 2,999,994 shares, (ii) Coca-Cola de Chile S.A. will own 3 Shares, (iii) Coca-Cola Andina will own 2 shares, and (iv) Embonor S.A. will own 1 share. Since Coca-Cola Andina is a shareholder of Coca-Cola del Valle New Ventures S.A., its direct and indirect ownership in the equity capital of Guallarauco, will be approximately 35%.

This transaction, which will be financed with its own funds, will allow Coca-Cola Andina to complement its current portfolio of non-carbonated beverages in Chile, as well as to venture with premium products in new categories, such as frozen fruits, 100% juices, natural fruits and vegetables based beverages, fruit ice creams and other categories under the Guallarauco brand.

During 2017, it is estimated that Guallarauco revenues will amount to Ch$ 24.000 million and its EBITDA to Ch$3.200 million; both amounts exclude avocado sales and the sale of products from the representation of General Mills.

Miguel Ángel Peirano, Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola Andina, said “This acquisition reinforces our goal of being leaders in all the segments and markets in which we operate and will complement the juice portfolio in Chile, in addition to incorporating the business of ice cream and ready-to-serve desserts. It also reaffirms our commitment to the non-carbonated beverage business, as it is a market with great growth potential and is in line with our strategy of being a relevant actor in all beverage categories.”
