Exchange Offer Overview
As part of this initiative, Chile invited holders of specific notes to participate in the offer. The exchange offer allowed these investors to tender their Existing Notes for new 3.800% Notes due 2035. The response to this invitation was favorable, and all validly tendered notes were accepted. An aggregate principal amount is provided below for each series of Eligible Notes that were accepted, reflecting a solid turnout from investors.

Details of the Exchange
For each €1,000 of Eligible Notes exchanged, participants will receive new Notes worth the same amount multiplied by the relevant exchange ratio. A total of €111,014,928 in New Notes will be issued as a result of this exchange process. These new Notes will consolidate into a single series, making them fully fungible with earlier issued notes from the cash offer conducted.
Timelines and Important Dates
The exchange offer commenced on June 24, with a defined closure on July 1. Following this, the expected settlement of the new notes is slated for July 7. It's important for holders to note that the various exchange ratios account for any accrued yet unpaid interest as of the expected settlement date.
Implications for Investors
Investors who participated in the exchange will not receive separate payments for accrued interests as these have been incorporated into the exchange ratio calculations. However, should any delays occur, Chile will adjust the principal amount to mirror outstanding interest appropriately. This careful consideration reinforces Chile's commitment to its investors.
