Today has been fully materialized the purchase of 100% of the shares of Comercializadora Novaverde S.A. (Novaverde), a Chilean company dedicated to produce and commercialize juices, ice cream, and frozen fruits, mainly under the brand Guallarauco. The foregoing, due to the fulfillment of all the conditions precedent as set forth in the stock purchase agreement executed on January 5, 2018, between Embotelladora Andina S.A., 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, and whose execution was duly communicated to Comisión para el Mercado Financiero as a material event dated January 5, 2018.
