Dear Sirs,

Pursuant to the provisions of Articles 9 and 10 of Law No. 18,045 and the instructions contained in General Applicability Rule No. 30 and Circular Letter No. 660 of the Financial Market Commission (the “Commission”), and being duly authorized to do so, I hereby inform you, as a Material Event, that the Board of Directors of Embotelladora Andina S.A. (the “Company”), at a meeting held on this same date, agreed to distribute a provisional dividend charged to the profits of the 2024 fiscal year, amounting to Ch$140,139,721,536, corresponding to Ch$141.0 per Series A share and Ch$155.1 per Series B share. The dividend will be paid starting on January 31, 2025, to the shareholders registered in the Shareholders’ Register at midnight (Santiago, Chile time) on January 25, 2025.

In this regard, this Commission is informed that the Company has established a procedure so that shareholders who so wish can access the legal, transitional, and optional tax regime provided for in Article 10 of Chilean Law No. 21,681. By providing written instructions to the Company, the latter shall withhold, file, and pay as a Substitute Tax for Final Taxes (Impuesto Sustitutivo de Impuestos Finales or “ISIF”) 12% of the dividend amount attributable to each shareholder, based on the number of shares each shareholder indicates.

The information regarding the optional ISIF regime, along with a detailed form and instructions outlining the requirements and deadlines for shareholders to adhere to it, will be published as of today on the Company’s website at the following address: https://www.koandina.com/pagina.php?p=informacion-de-interes-isif.
