Disclaim

The information contained in this site incorporates by reference statements which constitute ''forward-looking statements,'' in that they include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our directors and officers with respect to our future operating performance.

Such statements include any forecasts, projections and descriptions of anticipated cost savings or other synergies.

You should be aware that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors (including, without limitations, the actions of competitors, future global economic conditions, market conditions, foreign exchange rates, and operating and financial risks related to managing growth and integrating acquired businesses), many of which are beyond our control.

The occurrence of any such factors not currently expected by us would significantly alter the results set forth in these statements.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely include, but are not limited to:

• Changes in general economic, business or political or other conditions in Chile or changes in general economic or business conditions in Latin America;
• Changes in capital markets in general that may affect policies or attitudes toward lending to Chile or Chilean companies;
• Unexpected developments in certain existing litigation;
• increased costs; and
• Unanticipated increases in financing and other costs or the inability to obtain additional debt or equity financing on attractive terms.

You should not place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date that they were made. Our independent public accountants have not examined or compiled the forward-looking statements and, accordingly, do not provide any assurance with respect to such statements. These cautionary statements should be considered in connection with any written or oral forward-looking statements that we may issue in the future.

We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements included in this web-page, to reflect later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
