Introduction
In this annual report on Form 20-F, all references to “we,” “us,”“we”, “us”, “Company” or “CCU” are to Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A., an open stock corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile, and its consolidated subsidiaries. Chile is divided into regions, each of which is known by its roman number (e.g. “Region XI”). Our fiscal year ends on December 31st. The expression “last three years’’ means the years ended December 31, 2012, 20132014, 2015 and 2014.2016. Unless otherwise specified, all references to “U.S. dollars” “dollars” “USD” or “US$” are to United States dollars, and references to “Chilean pesos” “pesos” “Ch$” or “CLP” are to Chilean pesos. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These are the Company’s sixth annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and IFRS 1 “First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.” Until and including our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, we prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with Chilean generally accepted accounting principles (“Chilean GAAP”), which differs in certain important respects from IFRS, and were required to reconcile our financial statements to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). Following the Company’s adoption of IFRS, as issued by the IASB, we are no longer required to reconcile our financial statements to US GAAP. See the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in pages F-1 through F-104F-123 of this annual report. We use the metric system of weights and measures in calculating our operating and other data. The United States equivalent units of the most common metric units used by us are as shown below:
1 liter = 0.2642 gallons |
1 gallon = 3.7854 liters |
1 liter = 0.008522 US beer barrels | 1 US beer barrel = 117.34 liters |
1 liter = 0.1761 soft drink unit cases (8 oz cans) | 1 soft drink unit case (8 oz cans) = 5.6775 liters |
1 liter = 0.1174 beer unit cases (12 oz cans). | 1 beer unit case (12 oz cans) = 8.5163 liters |
1 hectoliter = 100 liters | 1 liter = 0.01 hectoliters |
1 US beer barrel = 31 gallons | 1 gallon = 0.0323 US beer barrels |
1 hectare = 2.4710 acres | 1 acre = 0.4047 hectares |
1 mile = 1.6093 kilometers | 1 kilometer = 0.6214 miles
|
CCU has historically estimated its weighted volumes market shares in Chile, Rio de la Plata and Wines using different sources of information.
i
When estimating weighted volume market share, we had previously decided to use internal estimates in some categories in order to account for relevant sales that were not captured by Nielsen as a result of its sampling methodology. We believe that Nielsen underestimates our market share in some categories and overestimates it in others. However, we recently concluded that our internal estimates have been gradually losing accuracy over time as a result of industry players providing less information to the market. The lack of information has made it difficult to check our internal estimates with real data from the industry. Accordingly, starting in 2014, for weighted volume market share we will use the following external sources of market share information: Nielsen for Chile, Domestic Wine and Argentina, ID Retail for Uruguay and Viñas de Chile for Export Wine. Figures are updated annually and weighted by internal market size estimates.

Exchange Rates.Prior to 1989, Chilean law permitted the purchase and sale of foreign currency only in those cases explicitly authorized by the Central Bank of Chile. The Central Bank Act, which was enacted in 1989, liberalized the rules that govern the ability to buy and sell foreign currency. Currently, pursuant to the Central Bank Act, the Central Bank of Chile has the authority to mandate that certain purchases and sales of foreign currency specified by law are to be carried out in the formal exchange market. The formal exchange market is formed by banks and other entities authorized by the Central Bank of Chile. All payments and distributions made to our holders of ADSs must be transacted in the formal exchange market.
In order to keep fluctuations in the average exchange rate within certain limits, the Central Bank of Chile has in the past intervened by buying or selling foreign currency on the formal exchange market. In September 1999, the Central Bank of Chile decided to limit its formal commitment to intervene and decided to exercise it only under extraordinary circumstances, which are to be announced in advance. The Central Bank of Chile also committed to provide periodic information about the levels of its international reserves.
On April 10, 2008, the Central Bank of Chile announced a program to buy US$8 billion in the local exchange market between April and December 2008. On March 24, 2009, the Central Bank of Chile published an agreement allowing the sale of dollars. On January 3, 2011, the Central Bank of Chile announced a program to buy US$12 billion starting January 5, 2011 with purchases of up to US$50 million per day.
The observed exchange rate is the average exchange rate at which commercial banks conduct authorized transactions on a given date, as certified by the Central Bank of Chile. The Central Bank of Chile generally carries out its transactions at the spot market rate. Authorized transactions by banks are now generally conducted at the spot market rate.
4
Purchases and sales of foreign currencies effectuated outside the formal exchange market are carried out in theMercado Cambiario Informal (the informal exchange market). The informal exchange market reflects the supply and demand for foreign currency. There are no limits imposed on the extent to which the rate of exchange in the informal exchange market can fluctuate above or below the observed exchange rate. On March 31, 2015,April 3, 2017 the U.S. dollar observed exchange rate relating to March 31, 2017 was CLP626.87CLP 663.97 per U.S. dollar, which is explained by the current excess of foreign currency.dollar.

RISKS RELATING TO CHILE
We are substantially dependent on economic conditions in Chile, which may adversely impact ourthe results of our operations and financial condition.
We are predominantly engaged in business in Chile.64% of our sales revenues in 20142016 was generated from our Chile Operating segment,2324% came from the Rio de la PlataInternational Business Operating segment, which includes Argentina, Paraguay and 13%Uruguay, and13% came from the Wine Operating segment. Thus, ourthe results of our operations and financial condition are dependent to a large extent on the overall level of economic activity in Chile. The Chilean economy has experienced an average annual growth rate of4.13.4% between 20102006 and 2014,2016, and1.7% 1.6% in 2014.2016. In the past, slower economic growth in Chile has slowed down the growth rate of consumption of our products and adversely affected our profitability. Chile’s economic performance was affected in 2009the past by the disruption in the global financial markets in 2009 and catastrophic events such as earthquakes in 2010 by an earthquake, and therefore the2015. Therefore growth raterates of the 2010-2014 period is not necessarily indicative ofpast periods cannot be extrapolated to future performance.
Furthermore, Chile, as an emerging market economy, is more exposed to unfavorable conditions in the international markets which can possiblycould have a negative impact on the demand for our products as well as products of third parties with whom we conduct business. Any combination of lower consumer confidence, disrupted global capital markets and/or reduced international economic conditions could have a negative impact on the Chilean economy and consequently on our business.
Currency fluctuations may affect our profitability.
Because we purchase the majority of our supplies at prices set in U.S. dollars and export wine in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros and pounds, we are exposed to foreign exchange risks that may adversely affect our financial condition and the results of our operations. Therefore, any future changes in the value of the Chilean peso against said currencies would affect the revenues of our wine export business. Additionally, the cost of several of our raw materials, especially in the beer and non-alcoholic businesses are indexed to the U.S. dollar. The effect of the exchange rate variation on export revenues will have an opposite effect on the cost of raw materials expressed in Chilean peso terms.
The relative liquidity and volatility of Chilean securities markets may increase the price volatility of our ADSsAmerican Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and adversely impact a holder’s ability to sell any shares of our common stock withdrawn from our ADRAmerican Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) facility.
The Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. For example, the Santiago Stock Exchange, which is Chile’s principal stock exchange, had a market capitalization of approximately US$233.0 209.9 billion as of December 31, 2014,2016, while The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) had a market capitalization of approximately US$26.97 26.5trillion and the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) had a market capitalization of approximately US$7.53 7.78trillion as of the same date. In addition, the Chilean securities markets can be materially affected by developments in other emerging markets, particularly other countries in Latin America.
The lower liquidity and greater volatility of the Chilean markets relative to markets in the United States could increase the price volatility of the ADSs and may impair a holder’s ability to sell in the Chilean market shares of our common stock withdrawn from the ADR facility in the amount and at the price and time the holder wishes to do so. See “Item 9: The Offer and Listing.”Listing”.
We are subject to different corporate disclosure requirements and accounting standards than U.S. companies.
Although the securities laws of Chile which govern open stock corporations and publicly listed companies such as us have as a principal objective promoting disclosure of all material corporate information to the public, Chilean disclosure requirements differ from those in the United States in certain important respects. In addition, although Chilean law imposes restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, the Chilean securities market is not as highly regulated and supervised as the U.S. securities market. We have been subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act since our initial public offering of ADSs in September 1992.

RISKS RELATING TO ARGENTINA
We have significant operations in Argentina, and economic conditions there have adversely affected ourthe results of our operations in the past and may do so in the future.
We have significant assets in Argentina and we have generated significant income from our operations in this country.
As local demand for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages is usually correlated with economic conditions prevailing in the local market, which in turn is dependent on the macroeconomic condition of the country, the financial condition and results of our operations in Argentina are, to a considerable extent, dependent upon political and economic conditions prevailing in Argentina. From 1999 through 2002, Argentina suffered a prolonged recession, which culminated in an economic crisis. CurrentlyAlthough the economic situation in Argentina has improved since the economic crisis of 2002, we have been observing a slowdownslowdowns of the economy, and accordinglytherefore, cannot assure you that economic conditions in Argentina will continue to improve or that our business will not be materially affected if Argentine economic conditions were to deteriorate.
The Argentine peso is subject to volatility which could adversely affect our results.
A devaluation of the Argentine peso may adversely affect our operating results.In 20142016 Argentina experienced aan average devaluation of the Argentine peso versus the U.S. dollar of 31.2%approximately 60% year on year, while in the first quarter of 2014 devaluation peaked in January by 23.1% year on year.We cannot assure you that the Argentine economy will recover or that it will not face a recession, or predict what effect such a recession would have on our operations in Argentina.over year. In 2009, the Company first reported its financial statements under IFRS, using the Argentine peso as the functional currency for our Argentine subsidiaries. ThoseThe results are calculated in said currencyArgentine pesos and then translated into Chilean pesos for consolidation purposes. In 2016 the Argentine peso devaluated approximately 55% versus the Chilean peso, which generated a translation effect in our reported revenues and expenses.
Argentina’s legal regime and economy are susceptible to changes that could adversely affect our Argentine operations.
The measures taken by theprevious Argentine governmentgovernments to address the country’s economic situationcrisis of 2002 severely affected the Argentine financial system’s stability and have had a materially negative impact on its reputation, as well as on the Company’s business. Recently, Argentina has been increasing restrictions on foreign exchange transactions.country´s economy. If Argentina were to experience a new fiscal and economic crisis, the Argentine government could implement economic and political measures, which could adversely impact our business.
The unpredictability, timing and scope of possible measures adopted by the Argentine government, including higher taxes and exchange control measures, could adversely affect our operations in Argentina and our future results of operations.
SinceIn January 2006, the Argentine government has adopted different methods to directly and indirectly regulate the prices of various consumer goods, including bottled beer, in an effort to slow inflation. In 2013 formal measures were implemented to freeze prices in Argentina, and the government may continue to do so in the future.
Additionally, measures taken by the previous Argentine government to control the country’s trade balance and to limit the access to foreign currencies have negatively impacted the free import of goods and royalty payments by the Company, and also the repatriation of profits. Formal andde facto measures that are purely based on economic governmental policies may continue affecting our operationsThis situation has changed following the installation of the new government in Argentina, as we need to regularly import raw materials and finished products into Argentina.December 2015. We cannot assure you that these and other unpredictable measures adopted by the current or future Argentine governmentgovernments will not have an adverse effect onimplement legal and economic measures that could adversely affect our operations in Argentina.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
RecentPotential changes to Chilean tax rules may result in an increase in the prices of our products and a corresponding decline in sales volumes.
7
OnChanges such as the new Chilean tax reform (the “Tax Reform Act”) that became effective on October 1, 2014, new Chilean tax reforms became effective, bringingand implemented a series of changes to the tax rates and tax schemes. There has been an increase inpolicies, increasing among other things the excise taxestax for alcoholic and sugar-containing beverages in Chile. The new ad valorem excise taxes are as follows: Beer and Wine increased from 15.0%Chile, forced us to 20.5%, Spirits increased from 27.0%implement price increases for certain categories, leading to 31.5%, sugar containing nonalcoholic beverages containing more than 15 gr./240ml. of sugar increased from 13.0% to 18.0% and non-sugar containing non-alcoholic beverages with 15 gr./240ml. or less of sugar decreased from 13.0% to 10.0%. Accordingly, we have made price adjustments to some of the affected categories.a possible decline in volume.
Furthermore, the regarding tax reform introduces amendments, among others, toTax Reform Act establishes that as of 2017 Open Stock Corporations should calculate their taxes based on the Income tax system. The said Act provides that corporations will apply by default“Partially Integrated System” without the "Partially Integrated System", unless a future Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting agreespossibility to opt for the "Attributedalternative “Attributed Income Regime”.The Act provides for the "Partially Integrated System" provides for a gradual increase in the First Category Income tax rate, going from 20% to 21% for the 2014 business year, 2014, to 22.5% for the 2015 business year, 2015, to 24% for the 2016 business year, 2016, to 25.5% for the 2017 business year, 2017 and to 27% starting in the 2018 business year.
Implementation of these or similar future reforms in Chilethat we are not aware of nor foresee, might adversely affect our businessesbusiness, our operating result and accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our current levels of sales or cash flows.financial position.
Fluctuations in the cost of our raw materials may adversely impact our profitability if we are unable to pass those costs alongon to our customers.
We purchase malt, rice and hops for beer, sugar for soft drinks, grapes for wine, pisco and piscococktails, and packaging material from local producers or in the international market. The prices of those materials are subject to volatility caused by market conditions, and have experienced significant fluctuations over time and are determined by the global supply and demand for commodities as well as other factors, such as fluctuations in exchange rates, over which we have no control.
Although we historically have been able to implement price increases in response to increases in raw material costs, we cannot assure you that our ability to recover increases in the cost of raw materials will continue in the future. In particular, where raw material price fluctuations do not keep pace with market conditions in the markets in which we operate, we may have limited capacity to raise prices to offset increases in costs. If we are unable to increase prices in response to increases in raw material costs, any future increases in raw material costs may reduce our margins and profitability if we are not able to offset such cost increases through efficiency improvements or other measures.
Consolidation in the beer industry may impact our market share.
In March 2004, Companhia de Bebidas das Américas (“AmBev”) and Interbrew announced an agreement to merge, creating the world’s largest brewer under the name InBev. Additionally, in January 2007, AmBev assumed control of Quilmes Industrial S.A. (“Quilmes”). In Chile, Quilmes sells its beer through Cervecería Chile S.A. (“Cervecería Chile”). In November 2008 InBev and Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. (“Anheuser-Busch”) merged, creating Anheuser-Busch Inbev (“AB Inbev”), the worldwide leader in beer. In 2013, AB Inbev finalized the acquisition of Grupo Modelo.
In 2005, SAB Miller Plc merged with Grupo Empresarial Bavaria, a Colombian brewer with operations in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Panama, forming the then second-largest brewer in the world. In 2010SAB Miller Plc acquired Cervecería Argentina S.A. (“CASA Isenbeck”), the third-largest brewer in Argentina, previously subsidiary of Warsteiner Brauerei Hans Cramer GmbH & Co. (“Warsteiner”).
During 2015, SAB Miller plc accepted an offer from AB Inbev to merge its operations. The merger has been approved in the various countries where SAB Miller Plc and AB Inbev currently operate and integration of the companies has begun. With this we face a major challenge: we are witnessing one of the largest global mergers in the history of beer and soft drinks, which will create a powerful global player, capable of producing and distributing more than 700 million hectoliters per year, with presence in more than 65 countries. This might increase the pricing and/or investment power of our competitor, which could negatively affect our market share.
Competition in the Chilean beer market may erode our market share and lower our profitability.
Our largest competitor in the Chilean beer market by volume is Cervecería Chile S.A. (“Cervecería Chile”), a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev (“AB Inbev”).Chile. In the past and during 2016, Cervecería Chile hadhas engaged in aggressive pricing, through maintaining pricing. Additionally, during 2016 Cervecería consistent price gap, and several promotional activities.Chile announced plans to expand its current production capacity in Chile. If Cervecería Chile were to amplify its aggressive price discounting practices and continue to expand its production capacity in the future, we cannot assure, you,given the current environment that any such discounting or other competitive activities will not have a material adverse impact on our profitability or market share given the current environment.share.
Additionally, if business conditions in the beer market continue to be relatively favorable in Chile, more enterprises may attempt to enter the Chilean beer market, either by producing beer locally or through imports. While we expect per capita beer consumption in Chile to continue to increase, mitigating the effect of competition, the entry into the market of additional competitors could further erode our market share or lead to price discounting.
8
Our beer brands in Chile may face increased competition from other alcoholic beverages such as wine and spirits, as well as from non-alcoholic beverages.beverages, such as carbonated soft drinks.
Beer consumption in Chile may be influenced by changes in the relative price of domestic wine, spirits and/or other non-alcoholic beverages’ relative prices.beverages. Increases in domestic wine prices have tended to lead to increases in beer consumption, while reductions in wine prices have tended to reduce or slow the growth of beer consumption. As a result of our lower market share in the Chilean wine, spirits and soft drinks markets as compared to our market share in the Chilean beer market, we expect that our consolidated profitability could be adversely affected if beverage consumers were to shift their consumption from beer to either wine, spirits or soft drinks.non-alcoholic beverages.
Quilmes dominates the beer market in Argentina and we may not be able to maintain our current market share.
In Argentina we face competition from Quilmes Industrial S.A. (“Quilmes”) and from CerveceríCASA Isenbeck, which as a Argentina S.A. Isenbeck (“CASA Isenbeck”), a former subsidiaryresult of Warsteiner Brauerei Hans Cramer GmbH & Co. (“Warsteiner”), which was acquired by SABMiller Plc on November 24, 2010.the merger between AB Inbev and SAB Miller plc, become one player in the Argentine beer market. As a result of its dominant position in Argentina, Quilmes’ large size by itself enables it to benefit from economies of scale in the production and distribution of beer throughout Argentina.distribution. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to grow or maintain our current market share ofin the Argentine beer market.
Consolidation in the beer industry may impact our market share.
In 2005, SABMiller Plc merged with Grupo Empresarial Bavaria, a Colombian brewer with operations in Colombia, Peru, EcuadorSubstitution of fossil fuels by natural gas and Panama, forming the then second-largest brewer in the world. In 2010SABMiller Plc acquired CASA Isenbeck, the third-largest brewer in Argentina.
In March 2004, Compania de Bebidas das Américas (“AmBev”) and Interbrew announced an agreement to merge, creating the world’s largest brewer under the name InBev. Additionally, in January 2007, AmBev assumed control of Quilmes. Inbev and Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.

(“Cervecería Chile”), a subsidiary of ABInbev. In 2013, AB Inbev finalized the acquisition of Grupo Modelo.
Consolidation in the beer industry has resulted in larger and more competitive participants, whichtaxes on carbon dioxide emissions could change the current market conditions under which we operate.
Restrictions in the gas supply from Argentina have increasedincrease our energy costs, and higher oil prices have increased our distribution expenses.costs.
Since 2005,In line with the Argentine government has restrictedsustainability objective of CCU S.A. for the year 2020, in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, we continue with the substitution of fossil fuels with natural gas exports toin our industrial facilities. Taxes on carbon dioxide emissions in Chile due to domestic supply problems. This has increasedwill go into effect in 2017, and the cost of operating our production plantsthese taxes will most likely be passed on to energy prices. A series of investment projects is under evaluation, with the aim of reducing emissions and thereby exempting us from this tax in Chile and Argentina. Gas supplies are currently stable, reducing the risk of further cost increases. However, these restrictions have increased electrical power costs. Because our boilers can be operated with gas or with alternative fuels, such as diesel oil or butane gas, we do not anticipate the need for additional investments. The Chilean government is presently implementing a strategy to diversify the country’s energy supply. The construction in Quintero of the first plant to process imported LNG (liquefied natural gas), which started its operation in August 2009, brought relief to the gas supply. However,2018, but we cannot assure you that the supply of energy or the cost thereofwe will not experience further fluctuations as a result of these policies. be able to meet this goal.
Electric power costs in Chile have increased significantly in the last yearspast mainly due to hydroelectric plants having lower water reservoir levels, which was exacerbated by the absence of new installed capacity at lower costs. Furthermore, the riseIncreases in oil prices have led to increases in our distribution costs. If these trends were to continue, the resulting increases in energy prices mayor unfavorable hydric conditions could reduce our margins if we are unable to improve efficiencies or increase our prices to offset them.

Changes in the labor market in the countries in which we operate may affect margins in our business.
In 2014, Chile’s unemployment rateAugust 2016, labor reform Law 20,940 was relatively low, which hadapproved in Chile, and went into effect as of April 2017. The labor reform has resulted in a direct impact onmore regulated labor market. The main elements of the labor reform are the following:
· | Collective bargaining coverage is expanded to certain employees who were prevented from exercising this right, such as apprentices, temporary workers and others. | |
· | Benefits obtained by a union in the course of a negotiation are extended for the benefit of any worker joining that union after the negotiation has concluded. The extension of said benefits to employees would be contingent to the assent of each union. | |
· | Collective bargaining agreements currently in effect would constitute a floor for the negotiation of new conditions of employment. The parties can agree to lower this floor for the negotiation if justified by the financial situation of the company or business as of the date of discussions. |
· | The employer's right to replace those workers participating in a strike with current or new employees while the strike is taking place is curtailed. | |
· | Modification of the definition of “minimum services” through “emergency teams” for which unions are obliged to provide the personnel required. These minimum services should be of a certain minimum level to prevent accidents, guarantee public service levels and basic needs of the population, prevent environmental or sanitary damage, and protect the equipment. | |
· | Matters that may be subject to collective bargaining agreements are expanded, allowing the negotiation of more flexible workdays, and others. | |
· | Unions may annually request from large companies information regarding the remunerations and duties associated with each category of employees. |
In Argentina, the high levels of inflation could affect our salary expense given the resulting competition for workers. In Argentina, given labor unions pressures related to country’s high level of inflation, we have also faced pressure with respect to our salary expenses.
On December 29, 2014 the executive branch of the Chilean government, led by President Michelle Bachelet, signed an extensive labor reform bill which was sent to the Chilean Congress for parliamentary proceedings and approval. In light of the executive branch of the Chilean government having majority support at both houses of the Chilean Congress, we expect that the proposed bill will be approved as drafted or under some amended form following debate of the bill in both houses.
Under the current draft the proposed bill contemplates several amendments to the existing labor framework in Chile, including, among other points:
·collective bargaining coverage is expanded to certain employees who were prevented from exercising this right, such as apprentices, temporary workers and others.
·unions are recognized as the only party entitled to exercise the right to collectively bargain on behalf of the workers.
·benefits obtained by a union in the course of a negotiation are extended for the benefit of any worker joining that union after the negotiation has concluded. The extension of said benefits to employees would be contingent to the assent of each union.
·collective bargaining agreements currently in effect would constitute a floor for the negotiation of new conditions of employment. The financial situation of the company or business as of the date of discussions for a new agreement would not have any bearing on ongoing negotiations.
·the employer's right to replace those workers participating in a strike with current or new employees while the strike is taking place is curtailed and replaced with an obligation from unions to provide the personnel required to comply with “minimum services” through “emergency teams.”
·matters that may be subject to collective bargaining agreements are expanded, allowing the negotiation of more flexible workdays, adaptable systems and others.
·unions may annually request from large companies information regarding the remunerations and duties associated with each category of employees.
Approval and implementation of the proposed bill, which increases the collective bargaining power of labor unions, or similar reforms may have adverse effects on our overall employment and operating costs and may increase the likelihood of business disruptions on our various activities in Chile, which could negatively affect our financial results and our ability to grow our business.
We depend upon the renewal of certain license agreements to maintain our current operations.
Most of our license agreements include certain conditions that must be met during their term, as well as provisions for their renewal at their expiry date. We cannot assure you that such conditions will be fulfilled, and therefore that the agreements will remain in place until their expiration or that they will be renewed, or that any of these contracts will not undergo early termination. Termination of, or failure to renew our existing license agreements, could have an adverse impact on our operations.
Consolidation in the supermarket industry may affect our operations.
10
The Chilean supermarket industry has gone through a consolidation process, increasing the importance and purchasing power of a few supermarket chains. As a result, we may not be able to negotiate favorable prices, which may adversely affect our sales and profitability. The importance of supermarkets to our business operations is disclosed in the discussion of each of our Operating segments.
Additionally, and despite having insurance coverage, this supermarket chain consolidation has the effect of increasing our exposure to counterparty credit risk, suchgiven the fact that we have more exposure in the event one of these large customers fails to honorfulfill its payment obligations to us for any reason.
Dependence on onea single supplier for some important raw materials.
In the case of cans, both in Chile and Argentina we purchase from a single supplier, Rexam,Ball, which has production plants in each country.both countries. However, cans maycould also be imported from other RexamBall plants or from alternative suppliers in the region. We have long term contracts for malt in Chile and in Argentina. We purchase one way polyethylene terephthalate resins (“PET”) from several suppliers located in China, Mexico and US and in the past we have also purchased in Argentina. While we have alternatives in procuring our supplies, if we were to experience disruptions in our supply chain we may notcannot assure you we will be able to obtain replacement supplies at favorable pricing or advantageous terms, which may adversely affect our results. In the case of one waypolyethylene terephthalate resins (“PET”), we purchase from several suppliers located in China, Mexico and the U.S. and in the past we have also bought from Argentina.
Water supply is essential to the development of our businesses.
Water is an essential component for beer, soft drinks, mineral and purified water. While we have adopted policies for the responsible and sustainable use of water, a failure in our water supply or contamination of our wells could negatively affect our sales and profitability.
The Chilean Congress is currently discussing a bill that establishes,provides, among others, for a new regime of temporary entitlements for water rights, onwhich will apply to future water rights to be granted, while introducingthat are granted. The bill would also introduce a system of revocation of water rights, for those not in use. TheThis bill is subject to revisioncould undergo modifications during the course of its discussion and it isin the Chilean Congress. After its enactment, regulations will be required for the implementation of the new regime. If enacted during 2017, relevant regulations will be dictated for effects of the new implementation of this bill. The implementation of the new regime could impact future applications for water rights for the Company, or could mean we would lose water rights that we do not currently unclear what final form it will take if enacted.use but have available for future growth.
The supply, production and logistics chain is key to the timely supply of our products to consumer centers.
Our supply, production and logistics chain is crucial for the delivery of our products to consumer centers. An interruption or a significant failure in this chain may negatively affect our results, if the failure is not quickly resolved. An interruption in the chain could be caused by various factors, such as strikes, planning errors of our suppliers, riots, complaints by communities, safety failures, or other factors which are beyond our control.
If we are unable to protect our information systems against data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, our operations could be disrupted.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information. In particular, we depend on our information technology infrastructure for digital marketing activities and electronic communications among uswithin the Company and with our clients, suppliers and also among our subsidiaries. Security breaches of this infrastructure can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. If we are unable to prevent such breaches, our operations could be disrupted, or we may suffer financial damage or loss because of lost or misappropriated information.
Possible restrictions on the saleregulations for labeling materials and promotion of alcoholic beverages and other food products in Chile could adversely affect us.
SenatorsOn June 26, 2015 decree N° 13 of the Ministry of Health was published which modifies the Sanitary Food Products Regulations (DC 977 of the Ministry of Health) and congressmen from different political partiesenforces Law N° 20,606 of 2012 regarding the nutritional composition of food products and its promotion. Both regulations establish certain restrictions on promotion material, labeling, and commercialization of these products that have submitted tobeen classified as being “high” in calories or any of the Chilean Congress proposed bills to restrictdefined critical nutrients, such as sodium, sugar and saturated fats. Additionally on November 13, 2015 Law N° 20,869 regarding the consumption, sale and promotion of alcoholic beverages. The principalmodifications proposedfood products was published, restricting the time of day promotions for products high in these bills are the incorporation of warnings on product labelscalories or any of the possible dangers of excessive alcohol consumption on human health, similar to those required in the United States, restrictionsdefined critical nutrient can be aired on television and radio advertisingin the cinema. This regulation change came into force on June 27, 2016 and restrictions on advertising at sports, cultural or related events.
11
On March 15, 2012 Law N° 20,580 was enacted by the Chilean Congress. This law amended the limit for blood alcohol content while driving by reducing the limit from less than 0.5 gr/lt. to less than 0.3 gr/lt., which has already hadaffected part of our non-alcoholic portfolio. We cannot assure that this regulation will not have an impact on our volumes and therefore in our results.
Currently a bill that modifies law N° 18,455 is in the levelthird phase of consumptionbeing passed. The bill fixes standards for production, elaboration and commercialization of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic beverages and vinegar. The bill aims to establish restrictions on promotion material, labeling and commercialization of alcoholic beverages including warnings about the consumption of alcohol on labeling and consequentlypromotion materials, restrictions in hours of promotion and prohibition of participation in sports and cultural events, among others. A regulatory change of this nature will affect our business.alcohol beverages portfolio and certain marketing activities.
On September 16, 2014, an amendment to Law N°20,580 was enacted. This amendment further decreased the maximum permissible blood alcohol level when driving and toughened the penalties and punishments when driving under the influence of alcohol.
Also, subject to further health regulations, which have not yet been approved due to delays, new food labeling rules are expected to take effect. These new regulations, to be complied with by manufacturers, will gradually toughen rules and restrictions on the labeling, packaging information, and food advertising, among others.
If further proposed bills are passed, or other regulations restricting the sale of non-alcoholic beverages or sweet snacks are enacted, this could affect consumption of our products and, as a consequence, negatively impact our business.
Possible regulations of the promotion of alcoholic beverages in Argentina could adversely affect us.
On November 24, 2016 Law 5,708 was implemented in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This law restricts the promotion of alcoholic beverages on the street and at the points of sale, and prohibits the alcoholic beverage companies from sponsoring cultural, sports, or educational events that have free access to the public, as well as the promotion of alcoholic beverages through official media channels of the city of Buenos Aires. We cannot assure you that this regulation will not have an adverse impact on our volumes and therefore on our results.
New environmental regulations, may negatively affect our profitability and reputation.
CCU’s operations are subject to environmental regulations at local, national and international levels. These regulations cover, among other things, emissions, noise, disposal of solid and liquid wastes, and other activities inherent to our industry. On this topic, on June 1, 2016 Law N° 20,920 was enacted and established a framework for waste management and extended producer responsibility, and stimulation of recycling, with the objective of lowering the generation of waste of proprietary products as determined by the bill and fostering recycling of the waste. We are awaiting the enactment of standards that will establish the procedures of targets for priority products and other associated obligations, along with establishing the procedure, requirements and criteria for the authorization of the control of waste, among others. These regulations should be enacted within one year as of the publication of said law.

Our products are taxed with different duties,taxes, particularly with respect to excise taxes on the consumption of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
The Argentine ad valorem excise tax is 8.7% for beer, and the Chilean ad valorem excise tax is 20.5% for beer and wine, 31.5% for spirits, 18% for non-alcoholic beverages containing more than 15 gr.15gr./240ml. of sugar and 10% for non-alcoholic beverages containing 15 gr.15gr./240ml. or less of sugar. An increase in the rate of these or any other tax could negatively affect our sales and profitability.
Currency fluctuations may affect our profitability.
Because we purchase some of our supplies at prices set in U.S. dollars, and export wine in U.S. dollars, euros and pounds, we are exposed to foreign exchange risks that may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Therefore, any future changes in the value of the Chilean peso, or any other functional currencies in the geographies we operate, against said currencies would affect the revenues of our wine export business, as well as the cost of several of our raw materials, especially in the beer and soft drink businesses where raw materials are indexed to the U.S dollar price. The effect of the exchange rate variation on export revenues would have an inverse effect on the cost of raw materials expressed in Chilean peso terms.
Catastrophic events in the marketsregions in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
12
Natural disasters, climate change, terrorism, pandemics, strikes or other catastrophic events could impair our ability to manufacture, distribute or sell our products. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to manage such events effectively if they occur, could adversely affect our sales volume, cost and supply of raw materials, earnings and could have a material effect on our business, operational results, and financial results. For example, onposition.
In 2016 Chile was affected by several natural disasters, including the large floods, mudflows and forest fires in the southern regions during January and February 27, 2010, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck central Chile, followed by a subsequent tsunami. The earthquake epicenter was located 200 miles southwest of Santiago and 70 miles north of Concepción, Chile’s second largest city.
On April 1, 2014, an 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck the northern part of Chile, but2017. These events did not have a significant effect on our operations. During March 2015, large floods and mudflows affected several towns of the Antofagasta, Atacama and Coquimbo regions, but did not haveoperations, however, a significant effect on our operations. A future earthquake, tsunami or other natural disaster, however,catastrophic event could have a significant effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to maintain the image and quality of our products our financial results may suffer.
The image and quality of our products is essential for our success and growth. Problems with product quality could tarnish the reputation of our products and may adversely affect our revenues.
If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with our clients and consumers, our financial results may suffer.
It is important to ensure a good service level to our clients provided by our sales force, and adjust new product launches and innovations to the needs and preferences of our consumers.
If we are unable to finance our operations we may be adversely affected.
A global liquidity crisis or an increase in financial interest rates may eventually limit our ability to obtain the cash needed to fulfill our commitments. Sales could also be affected by a global disruption if consumption decreases sharply, placing stress on our cash position.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR ADSs
We are controlled by one majority shareholder, whose interests may differ from those of holders of our ADSs, and this shareholder may take actions whichthat adversely affect the value of a holder’s ADSs or common stock.
As of March 31, 2015,2017, Inversiones y Rentas S.A. (“IRSA”) a Chilean closed corporation, directly and indirectly owned 60.0% of our shares of common stock. Accordingly, IRSA has the power to control the election of most members of our board of directors and its interests may differ from those of the holders of our ADSs. IRSA also has significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction submitted to our shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and going-private transactions. In addition, actions by IRSA with respect to the disposal of the shares of common stock that it owns, or the perception that such actions may occur, may adversely affect the trading prices of our ADSs or common stock.
Chilean economic policies, currency fluctuations, exchange controls and currency devaluations may adversely affect the price of our ADSs.
The Chilean government’s economic policies and any future changes in the value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely affect the dollar value and the return on any investment in our ADSs. The Chilean peso has been subject to large nominal devaluations and appreciations in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. For example, in the period from December 31, 20132015 to December 31, 2014,2016, the daily average value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar increased by15% 3.5%in nominal terms, whereas the year end value decreased by 16%6% based on the observed exchange rate for U.S. dollars on those dates. See “Item 3: Key Information – Selected Financial Data – Exchange Rates.”Rates”.
While our ADSs trade in U.S. dollars, Chilean trading in the shares of our common stock underlying our ADSs is conducted in Chilean pesos. Cash distributions to be received by the depositary for the shares of our common stock underlying our ADSs will be denominated in Chilean pesos. The depositary will translate any Chilean pesos received by it to U.S. dollars at the then-prevailing exchange rate with the purpose of making dividend and other distribution payments on the ADSs. IftheIf the value of the Chilean peso declines relative to the U.S. dollar, the value of our ADSs and any distributions to holders of our ADSs received from the depositary may be adversely affected. See “Item 8: Financial Information – Dividend Policy and Dividends.”Dividends”.
13
For example, since our financial statements are reported in Chilean pesos, a decline in the value of the Chilean peso against the dollar would reduce our earnings as reported in U.S. dollars. Any dividend we may pay in the future would be denominated in Chilean pesos. A decline in the value of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar would reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent of any such dividend. Additionally, in the event of a dividend or other distribution, if exchange rates fluctuate during any period of time when the ADS depositary cannot convert a foreign currency into dollars, a holder of our ADSs may lose some of the value of the distribution. Also, since dividends in Chile are subject to withholding taxes, which we retain until the following year when the exact amount to be paid is determined, if part of the retained amount is refunded to the shareholders, the amount received by holders of our ADSs would be subject to exchange rate fluctuations between the two dates.
A holderHolders of our ADSs may be subject to certain risks due to the fact that holders of our ADSs do not hold shares of our common stock directly.
In order to vote at shareholders’ meetings, ifADS holders may exercise voting rights associated with common stock only in accordance with the deposit agreement governing our ADSs. Accordingly, ADS holders will face practical limitations when exercising their voting rights because ADS holders must first receive a holder is not registered on the booksnotice of the ADS depositary, the holder of our ADSs is required to transfer their ADSs for a certain number of days before a shareholders’ meeting into a blocked account established for that purpose by the ADS depositary. Any ADSs transferred to this blocked account will not be available for transfer during that time. If a holder of our ADSs is registered on the books of the ADS depositary, it must give instructions to the ADS depositary not to transfer its ADSs during this period before the shareholders’ meeting. A holder of our ADSs must therefore receive voting materials from the Depositary and may then exercise their voting rights by instructing the Depositary, on a timely basis, on how they wish to vote. This voting process necessarily will take longer for ADS depositary sufficiently in advance in orderholders than for direct common stock holders, who are able to make these transfersexercise their vote by attending our shareholders’ meetings. Therefore, if the Depositary fails to receive timely voting instructions from some or all ADS holders, the Depositary will assume that ADS holders agree to give these instructions. There can be no guarantee that a holder of ourdiscretionary proxy to a person designated by us to vote their ADSs willon their behalf. Furthermore, ADS holders may not receive voting materials in time to instruct the ADS depositary on howDepositary to vote. It is possible thatAccordingly, ADS holders may not be able to properly exercise their voting rights.
The right of a holder of our ADSs to force us to purchase the underlying shares of our common stock pursuant to Chilean corporate law upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited.
Because of the absence of legal precedent as to whether a shareholder that has voted both for and against a proposal, such as the Depositary of our ADSs, may exercise withdrawal rights (as described in “Item 10. Additional Information – B. Memorandum and Articles of Association”) with respect to those shares voted against the proposal, there is doubt as to whether a holder of ADSs will not have the opportunitybe able to exercise a right to vote at all. Additionally,withdrawal rights either directly or through the depositary for the shares of our common stock represented by their ADSs. Accordingly, for a holder of our ADSs to exercise its appraisal rights, it may not receive copies of all reports from us orbe required to surrender its ADRs, withdraw the ADS depositary. A holdershares of our common stock represented by its ADSs, may have to arrange withand vote the ADS depositary’s offices to inspect any reports issued.
shares against the proposal.
In the past, Chile has imposed controls on foreign investment and repatriation of investments that affected investments in, and earnings from, our ADSs.
Equity investments in Chile by persons who are not Chilean residents have historically been subject to various exchange control regulations that restrict the repatriation of the investments and earnings therefrom. In April 2001, the Central Bank eliminated most of the regulations that affected foreign investors, although foreign investors still have to provide the Central Bank with information related to equity investments and must conduct such operations within the formal exchange market. Additional Chilean restrictions applicable to holders of our ADSs, the disposition of the shares underlying them, the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition or the payment of dividends may be imposed in the future, and we cannot advise you as to the duration or impact of such restrictions if imposed. See also “Item 10: Additional Information, D. Exchange Controls”.
If for any reason, including changes in Chilean law, the depositary for our ADSs were unable to convert Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars, investors would receive dividends and other distributions, if any, in Chilean pesos.
The rights of a holder of our ADSs to force us to purchase its underlying shares of our common stock pursuant to Chilean corporate law upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited.
In accordance with Chilean laws and regulations, any shareholder that votes against certain corporate actions or does not attend the meeting at which certain corporate actions are approvedand communicates to the corporation its dissent in writing within the time period established by law may exercise a withdrawal right, tender its shares to the company and receive cash compensation for its shares, provided that the shareholder exercises its rights within the prescribed time periods. See “Item 10: Additional Information–Memorandum and Articles of Association–Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares.” In our case, the actions triggering a right of withdrawal include the approval of:
14
·our transformation into a different type of legal entity;
·our merger with and/or into another company;
·the transfer of 50% or more of our corporate assets, whether or not liabilities are also transferred, to be determined according to the balance sheet of the previous fiscal year, or the proposal or amendment of any business plan that contemplates the transfer of assets exceeding said percentage; the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets of a subsidiary, which represents at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of shares which results in the parent company losing its status as controller;
·the granting of real or personal guarantees to secure third-party obligations exceeding 50% of the corporate assets except when the third party is a subsidiary of the company (in which case approval of the board of directors will suffice);
·the creation of preferences for a series of shares or the increase, extension or reduction in the already existing ones. In this case, only dissenting shareholders of the affected series shall have the right to withdraw;
·curing certain formal defects in our charter which otherwise would render it null and void or any modification of our bylaws that grant this right; and
·other cases provided for by statute or in our bylaws, if any.
In addition, shareholders may withdraw if a person becomes the owner of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of the corporation as a consequence of a share acquisition and such person does not make a tender offer for the remaining shares within 30 days from the date of such acquisition.
Minority shareholders are also granted the right to withdraw when the controller acquires more than 95% of the shares of an open stock corporation.
Our bylaws do not provide for additional circumstances under which shareholders may withdraw.
Because of the absence of legal precedent as to whether a shareholder that has voted both for and against a proposal, such as the depositary of our ADSs, may exercise withdrawal rights with respect to those shares voted against the proposal, there is doubt as to whether a holder of ADSs will be able to exercise withdrawal rights either directly or through the depositary for the shares of our common stock represented by its ADSs. Accordingly, for a holder of our ADSs to exercise its appraisal rights, it may be required to surrender its ADRs, withdraw the shares of our common stock represented by its ADSs, and vote the shares against the proposal.
Preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of our common stock may be unavailable to holders of our ADSs in certain circumstances and, as a result, their ownership interest in usour Company may be diluted.
15
TheLey sobre Sociedades Anónimas N° 18,046 (“Chilean Corporations Act”) and theReglamento de Sociedades Anónimas, which we refer to in this document collectively as the “Chilean Corporations Act”, requiresrequire us, whenever we issue new shares for cash, to grant preemptive rights to all holders of shares of our common stock, including shares of our common stock represented by ADSs, giving those holders the right to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage. We may not be able to offer shares to holders of our ADSs pursuant to preemptive rights granted to our shareholders in connection with any future issuance of shares unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to those rights and shares, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.
We intend to evaluate at the time of any future offerings of shares of our common stock the costs and potential liabilities associated with any registration statement as well as the indirect benefits to us of enabling U.S. owners of our ADSs to exercise preemptive rights and any other factors that we consider appropriate at the time, before making a decision as to whether to file such a registration statement. We cannot assure you that any such registration statement would be filed.
To the extent that a holder of our ADSs is unable to exercise their preemptive rights because a registration statement has not been filed, the depositary will attempt to sell the holder’s preemptive rights and distribute the net proceeds of the sale, net of the depositary’s fees and expenses, to the holder, provided that a secondary market for those rights exists and a premium can be recognized over the cost of the sale. A secondary market for the sale of preemptive rights can be expected to develop if the subscription price of the shares of our common stock upon exercise of the rights is below the prevailing market price of the shares of our common stock. Nonetheless, we cannot assure you that a secondary market in preemptive rights will develop in connection with any future issuance of shares of our common stock or that if a market develops, a premium can be recognized on their sale. Amounts received in exchange for the sale or assignment of preemptive rights relating to shares of our common stock will be taxable in Chile and the United States. See “Item 10: Additional Information – E. Taxation – Chilean Tax Considerations – Capital Gains” and “– United States Federal IncomeTaxFederalIncomeTax Considerations – Taxation of Capital Gains.”Gains”. If the rights cannot be sold, they will expire and a holder of our ADSs will not realize any value from the grant of the preemptive rights. In either case, the equity interest of a holder of our ADSs in us will be diluted proportionately.
ITEM 4: Information on the Company
A. History and Development of the Company
Our current legal and commercial name is Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. We were incorporated in the Republicare a public corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized by means of Chile ina public deed dated January 8, 1902, as an open stock corporation, following the merger of two existing breweries, one of which traces its origins back to 1850, when Mr. Joaquín Plagemann founded one of the first breweries in Chile in(in Valparaíso.so). By 1916, we owned and operated the largest brewing facilities in Chile. Our operations have also included the production and marketing of soft drinks since the beginning of the last century, the bottling and selling of mineral water products since 1960, the production and marketing of wine since 1994, the production and marketing of beer in Argentina since 1995, the production and marketing of pisco since 2003, the production and marketing of sweet snacks products since 2004 and the production and marketing of rum since 2007.
We are subject to a full range of governmental regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay. These regulations include labor laws, social security laws, public health, consumer protection and environmental laws, securities laws, and antitrust laws. In addition, regulations exist to ensure healthy and safe conditions in facilities for the production and distribution of beverages and sweet snacks products.

Our telephone number in Santiago is (56-2) 2427-3000, our fax number is (56-2) 2427-3333 and our website is www.ccu.cl.

The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this document.
In 1986, IRSA, our current principal shareholder, acquired its controlling interest in us through purchases of common stock at an auction conducted by a receiver who had assumed control of us following the economic crisis in Chile in the early 80’s, which resulted in our inability to meet our obligations to our creditors. IRSA, at that time, was a joint venture between Quiñenco S.A. (“Quiñenco”) and the Schörghuber Group from Germany through its wholly owned subsidiary Finance Holding International B.V. (“FHI”) of the Netherlands.
To our knowledge, none of our common stock is currently owned by governmental entities. Our common stock is listed and traded on the principal Chilean stock exchanges. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”
In September 1992, we issued 4,520,582 ADSs, each representing five shares of our common stock, in an international American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) offering. The underlying ADSs were listed and traded on the NASDAQ, until March 25, 1999. Since that date, the ADSs have been listed and traded on the NYSE. After a capital increase approved by our shareholders in October 1996, we raised approximately US$196 million between December 1996 and April 1999. Part of this capital expansion was accomplished between December 1996 and January 1997 through our second ADR offering in the international markets. On December 20, 2012, the ratio of ADSs to shares of common stock was changed from 1 to 5, to a new ratio of 1 to 2.
To increase our presence in the premium beer segment, in November 2000 we acquired a 50% stake in Cervecería Austral S.A., located in the city of Punta Arenas, with an annual production capacity of 6.1 million liters. Further, in May 2002, we acquired a 50% stake in Compañía Cervecera Kunstmann S.A., located in the city of Valdivia.
On April 17, 2003, the Schörghuber Group, at the time an indirect owner of 30.8% of our ownership interest, gave Quiñenco, also at the time an indirect owner of 30.8% of our ownership interest, formal notice of its intent to sell 100% of its interest in FHI to Heineken Americas B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V. As a result of the sale, Quiñenco and Heineken Americas B.V., the latter through FHI, became the only two shareholders of IRSA, the owner of 61.6% of our equity at that time, each with a 50% interest in IRSA. Heineken International B.V. and FHI subsequently formed Heineken Chile Ltda., to hold the latter’s 50% interest in IRSA. Therefore, Quiñenco and Heineken Chile Ltda. are the only two current shareholders of IRSA, with a 50% equity each. On December 30, 2003, FHI merged into Heineken Americas B.V., which together with Heineken International B.V. remained as the only shareholders of Heineken Chile Ltda. At present IRSA owns, directly and indirectly, 60.0% of our equity.
Prior to November 1994, we independently produced, bottled and distributed carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks in Chile. We have produced and sold soft drinks in Chile since 1902 and spirits since 2003. In November 1994, we merged our soft drink and mineral water businesses with the one owned by BAESA (BuenosBuenos Aires Embotelladora S.A. (“BAESA”) in Chile (PepsiCo’s bottler in Chile at that time) creating Embotelladoras Chilenas Unidas S.A. (“ECUSA”) for the production, bottling, distribution and marketing of soft drink and mineral water products in Chile. Through ECUSA, we began producing PepsiCo brands under license (currently Pepsi, Pepsi Light, Seven Up, Seven Up Light, Mirinda, Gatorade and Lipton Ice Tea).license. We have had control of ECUSA since January 1998, when the shareholders agreement was amended, and have owned 99.94% of ECUSA’s shares since ouramended. On November 29, 1999 purchase ofwe purchased 45% of ECUSA’s shares owned by BAESA for approximately CLP54,118CLP 54,118 million. We currently own 99.93% of ECUSA’s shares. In January 2001, ECUSA and Schweppes Holdings Ltd. signedansigned an agreement to continue bottling Crush and Canada Dry brands. See “– Production and Marketing – Chile Operating segment.”segment”.
17
In October 2013, CCU, together with its subsidiary Embotelladoras Chilenas Unidas1994 we purchased 48.4% of the equity of the Chilean wine producer Viña San Pedro S.A. (“ECUSA”VSP”), executed a series for approximately CLP 17,470 million. During the first half of contracts and agreements with PepsiCo Inc. and affiliates, that allowed them to expand their current relationship1995, VSP’s capital was increased by approximately CLP 14,599 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP 7,953 million. From August through October 1997, VSP’s capital was increased again by approximately CLP 11,872 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP 6,617 million, plus approximately CLP 191 million in additional shares bought during October 1997 in the non-alcoholic beverages segment with specific focus on carbonated soft drinks, as well as extending its long term duration. The performance of ECUSA as PepsiCo Inc.’s bottler has been recognized bylocal stock market. Furthermore, in October 1998 and during 1999, we purchased additional shares in VSP through the latter on several occasions including the award granted to ECUSA last June in Bangkok as Bottler of the Year for the Latin America Region. In 2014, ECUSA received the distinction of “PepsiCo Global Bottler of the Year” from over 200 bottlers worldwide.
In January 2004, we entered the sweet snacks business by means of a joint venture between our subsidiary ECUSA and Industria Nacional de Alimentos S.A, a subsidiary of Quiñenco, with a 50% interest each in Calaf S.A. (which has been renamed Foods Compañía de Alimentos CCU S.A., or “Foods”), a corporation that acquired the trademarks, assets and know-how, among other things, of Calaf S.A.I.C. and Francisca Calaf S.A., traditional Chilean candy makers, renowned for more than a century. In August 2008, Foods bought 50% of Alimentos Nutrabien S.A., a company specializing in muffins and other high quality home-made products. The Nutrabien brand complements our sweet snacks portfolio which includes the Calaf and Natur brands, the latter acquired in 2007. Moreover, with this acquisition we expanded the sweet snacks business from the traditional candy category to the nutritional cereal bars, cookies and muffins categories.
In December 2006, we signed a joint venture agreement with Watt’s S.A. (“Watt’s”), a local food related company, under which, as of January 30, 2007, we participate in equal parts in Promarca S.A. (“Promarca”). This new company owns, among others, the brands “Watt’s,” “Watt’s Ice Frut,” “Yogu Yogu” and “Shake a Shake” in Chile. Promarca granted both of its shareholders ( New Ecusa S.A., a subsidiary of ECUSA, and Watt´s Dos S.A, a subsidiary of Watt´s S.A),stock exchanges for an indefinite period, the exclusive licenses for the production and saleamount of the different product categories.
In December 2007, we entered into an agreement with Nestlé Chile S.A. and Nestlé Waters Chile S.A., the latterapproximately CLP 5,526 million. From March through June 1999, VSP’s capital was increased by approximately CLP 17,464 million, of which acquired a 20% interest in our subsidiary Aguas CCU-Nestlé Chile S.A. (“Aguas CCU”), the company through which we develop our bottled water business in Chile. As part of this new association, Aguas CCU introduced in 2008 the Nestlé Pure Life brand in Chile. Nestlé Waters Chile S.A. had a call option to increase its ownership in Aguas CCU by an additional 29.9%, which expired on June 5, 2009. On June 4, 2009 ECUSA received a notification from Nestlé Waters Chile S.A. exercising its irrevocable option to buy 29.9% of Aguas CCU equity, within the scope of the association contract. The completion of the deal represented a profit before taxes for ECUSA of CLP24,439contributed approximately CLP 10,797 million. On September 30, 2009 in extraordinary shareholders’ meetings, Aguas CCU and Nestlé Waters Chile S.A. approved the merger of Nestlé Waters Chile S.A. and Aguas CCU. The current shareholders of Aguas CCU are ECUSA (50.10%) and Nestlé Chile S.A. (49.90%).
In December 2012, the subsidiary Aguas CCU-Nestlé Chile S.A. completed an acquisition of 51% of the company Manantial S.A., an “HOD,” Home and Office Delivery, business of purified water in bottles with the use of dispensers. The partnership enabled Aguas CCU-Nestlé Chile S.A. to participate in a new business category, of which until today the company has had a very small presence.
In February 2003, we began the sale of a new product for our beverage portfolio, pisco, under the brand Ruta Norte. Pisco is a grape spirit very popular in Chile that is produced in the northern part of the country. Our pisco, at that time, was only produced in the Elqui Valley in Region IV of Chile and was sold throughout the country by our beer division sales force. In March 2005, we entered into an association with the second-largest pisco producer at that time, Cooperativa Agrícola Control Pisquero de Elqui y Limarí Ltda. (“Control”). This new joint venture was named CompañíaPisquera de Chile S.A. (“CPCh”), to which the companies contributed principally with assets, commercial brands and – in the case of Control – also some financial liabilities. Currently we own 80% of CPCh and Control owns the remaining 20%. In May 2007, CPCh entered the rum market with our proprietary brand Sierra Morena and later, in 2008, added new rum brand extensions and introduced various pisco based cocktails. Since 2011, our international strategy has focused on exports to Argentina, the United States and Asia, including Russia. In December 2011, our subsidiary Compañía Pisquera de Chile S.A. (“CPCh”) signed a licence agreement for the commercialization and distribution in Chile of the pisco brand Bauzá. In addition, CPCh acquired 49% of the licensor company Compañía Pisquera Bauzá S.A., owner of the brand in Chile. Furthermore, during 2011 CPCh began the distribution of Pernod Ricard products in Chile.
18
In December 1995, we entered into a joint venture agreement pursuant to which Anheuser-Busch Incorporated acquired a 4.4% interest in Compañía Cervecerías Unidas Argentina S.A. (“CCU Argentina.Argentina”). The agreement involved two different contracts: an investment and a licensing contract. In 2008, the licensing contract was extended until 2025 and grants Compañía Cervecerías Unidas Argentina S.A. (“CCU Argentina”) the exclusive right to produce, package, market, sell and distribute Budweiser beer in Argentina. After subsequent capital increases, the last one in June 2008, Anheuser-Busch Incorporated reduced its interest in CCU Argentina to 4.04% and we increased our participation to 95.96%. In December 2010, our subsidiary Inversiones Invex CCU Ltda. acquired a 4.04% equity stake in CCU Argentina from Anheuser-Busch Investment, S.L. After the acquisition, CCU, through its subsidiary Inversiones Invex CCU Ltda., became the sole equity holder of CCU Argentina. This transaction had no effect on the Budweiser brand production and distribution contract which expires in 2025 (in 2015 for the distribution of the brand in Chile).Currently, CCU´s subsidiaries Inversiones Invex CCU Ltda. and Inversiones Invex CCU Dos Ltda. own 95% and 5%, respectively, of CCU Argentina´s share capital.
Through CCU Argentina, we began our expansion into Argentina by acquiring an interest in two Argentine breweries: 62.7% of the outstanding shares of Compañía Industrial Cervecera S.A. (“CICSA”), were acquired during January and February 1995 and 98.8% of the outstanding shares of Cervecería Santa Fe S.A. (“CSF”), were acquired in September 1995. In 1997, CCU Argentina increased its interest in CICSA to 97.2% and in CSF to 99.9% through the purchase of non-controlling interests. In January 1998, we decided to merge these two breweries into one company operating under the name of CICSA. Following the merger, CCU Argentina’s interest in CICSA was 99.2%. In April 1998, CCU Argentina completed the purchase of the brands and assets of Cervecería Córdoba S.A. for US$8 million. After the resolution of certain labor issues, we began the production of the Córdoba brand at our Santa Fe plant from the middle of 1998.
After a capital increase approved by our shareholders in October 1996, we raised approximately US$196 million between December 1996 and April 1999. Part of this capital expansion was accomplished between December 1996 and January 1997 through our second ADR offering in the international markets.
In November 2000 we acquired a 50% stake in Cervecería Austral S.A. (“Cervecería Austral”), located in the city of Punta Arenas.
During 2000, VSP, through its subsidiary Finca La Celia S.A. (“FLC”), acquired the winery Finca La Celia in Mendoza, Argentina, initiating its international expansion, allowing VSP to include fine quality Argentine wines into its export product portfolio. In December 2001, Viña Santa Helena S.A. (“VSH”) created its own commercial and productive winemaking operation, distinct from its parent, VSP, under the Viña Santa Helena label in the Colchagua Valley. Between November 2000 and March 2001, VSP’s capital was increased by approximately CLP 22,279 million, of which we contributed approximately CLP 13,402 million.
Further, in May 2002, we acquired a 50% stake in Compañía Cervecera Kunstmann S.A. (“CCK”), a brewery located in the southern city of Valdivia. In June 2003, our beer division began selling Kunstmann nationwide. In November 2006, we acquired additional shares of CCK that allowed us to consolidate this subsidiary into our financial statements since that month.
In February 2003, we began the sale of a new product for our beverage portfolio, pisco, under the brand Ruta Norte. Pisco is a grape spirit very popular in Chile that is produced in the northern part of the country. Our pisco, at that time, was only produced in the Elqui Valley in Region IV of Chile and was sold throughout the country by our beer division sales force. In March 2005, we entered into an association with the second-largest pisco producer at that time, Cooperativa Agrícola Control Pisquero de Elqui y Limarí Ltda. (“Control”). This new joint venture was named Compañía Pisquera de Chile S.A. (“CPCh”), to which the companies contributed principally with assets, commercial brands and – in the case of Control – also some financial liabilities. Currently we own 80% of CPCh and Control owns the remaining 20%.
On April 17, 2003, the Schörghuber Group, at the time an indirect owner of 30.8% of our ownership interest, gave Quiñenco, also at the time an indirect owner of 30.8% of our ownership interest, formal notice of its intent to sell 100% of its interest in FHI to Heineken Americas B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V. As a result of the sale, Quiñenco and Heineken Americas B.V., the latter through FHI, became the only two shareholders of IRSA, the owner of 61.6% of our equity at that time, each with a 50% interest in IRSA. Heineken International B.V. and FHI subsequently formed Heineken Chile Ltda., to hold the latter’s 50% interestin IRSA. Therefore, Quiñenco and Heineken Chile Ltda. are the only two current shareholders of IRSA, with 50% equity each. On December 30, 2003, FHI merged into Heineken Americas B.V., which together with Heineken International B.V. remained as the only shareholders of Heineken Chile Ltda. At present IRSA owns, directly and indirectly, 60.0% of our equity.
In August 2003, VSP formed Viña Tabalí S.A., a joint venture in equal parts with Sociedad Agrícola y Ganadera Río Negro Ltda., for the production of premium wines.

In January 2004, we entered the sweet snacks business by means of a joint venture between CCU Inversiones S.A. and Industria Nacional de Alimentos S.A., a subsidiary of Quiñenco, with a 50% interest each in Calaf S.A.

(“Aguas CCU”), the company through which we develop our bottled water business in Chile. As part of this new association, Aguas CCU introduced in 2008 the Nestlé Pure Life brand in Chile. Nestlé Waters Chile S.A. had a call option to increase its ownership in Aguas CCU by an additional 29.9%, which expired on June 5, 2009. On June 4, 2009 ECUSA received a notification from Nestlé Waters Chile S.A. exercising its irrevocable option to buy 29.9% of Aguas CCU equity, within the scope of the association contract.

ICSA owns, among other assets, the Bieckert, Palermo and Imperial beer brands, which together represented approximately 5.8% of the Argentine beer market, and a brewery in Luján, Buenos Aires, with a nominal production capacity of 270 million liters per year. On December 27, 2010, CICSA acquired equity interests in Saénz Briones S.A. and Sidra La Victoria S.A. Through this transaction, CICSA became the controlling shareholder of these companies. These companies own the assets used in the production, packaging and marketing of cider and other spirits businesses in Argentina, which are marketed through several brands, including Sidra Real and Sidra La Victoria. In 2011, we started to export Schneider beer to Paraguay.

These segments reflect separate operating results which are regularly reviewed by each segment Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.
We evaluate the performance of the segments based on several indicators, including OR (Operating Result), ORBDA (Operating Result Before Depreciation and Amortization), ORBDA margin (% of ORBDA of total revenues for the segment), volumes and sales revenues. Sales between segments are conducted using terms and conditions at current market rates.
Overview.
Chile Operating segment
We estimate that our weighted volume market share for the Chile Operating segment was approximately 37.8%, 39.6% and 40.8% in 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively. Weighted volume market share includes all categories in which CCU participates excluding wines and HOD, according to Nielsen figures.
We carry a wide portfolio of products which includes premium, mainstream and convenience brands of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer, which are primarily marketed under ten different proprietary brands and five licensed brands, with Cristal as our flagship brand in Chile. In addition, we are the exclusive producer and distributor of Heineken beer; the exclusive distributor of imported Sol beer and Budweiser beer (until December 2015) and we distribute and produce Kunstmann and Austral beer in Chile via distribution or license agreements. With our four production plants in Santiago, Temuco, Valdivia (Kunstmann) and Punta Arenas (Austral), we are the only brewery in Chile with a nationwide production and distribution network.
We also produce and sell non-alcoholic beverages in Chile, which includes carbonated soft drinks (both cola and non-cola), nectars and juices, sports and energy drinks, ice tea and waters (including mineral, purified bottled water and home and office delivery or “HOD”) with proprietary and licensed brands across our categories. Our line of soft drink products includes proprietary brands, in addition to brands produced under license from PepsiCo (for soft drinks, functional drinks and iced teas), Schweppes Holdings (for soft drinks) and Promarca (nectars and fruit beverages), which are produced in three production plants: Santiago, Temuco and Antofagasta. We have been in the bottled mineral water business since 1960, under our two proprietary brand names, Cachantun and Porvenir, which are bottled and distributed nationally from our two natural sources located within the central region of Chile (Casablanca and Coinco). We also produce and distribute purified waters under license from Nestlé,and distribute the imported brand Perrier.
In 2003, we added a new product to our beverage portfolio: pisco, which is produced by our subsidiary Pisconor S.A. who entered into an association agreement in 2005 with the second-largest pisco producer in Chile, Control, creating a new subsidiary, CPCh. In May 2007, CPCh entered the rum category through our proprietary brand “Sierra Morena.” In June 2010 CPCh purchased Fehrenberg, a small, but well-recognized spirits brand produced in Chile. In July 2011 CPCh began the distribution of Pernod Ricard products (Chivas Regal, Ballantine’s, Havana Club, Beefeater and Absolut among others) through the traditional channel, which excludes supermarkets with centralized distribution. Furthermore, during December 2011, CPCh acquired 49% of Compañía Pisquera Bauzá S.A., and signed a license agreement for the commercialization and distribution of the Bauzá brand of pisco in Chile. We operate five productive plants and own 80% of CPCh, while the remaining 20% is owned by Control.

Wholesale and retail prices of all the previously mentioned categories are not regulated in Chile. Wholesale prices are subject to negotiation between the producer and the purchaser; while retailers determine retail prices to the final consumer. We believe that the key factors determining retailers’ prices include: national and/or local price promotions offered by the manufacturer, the nature of product consumption (on-premises or take-out), the type of packaging (returnable or non-returnable), the applicable tax structure and the desired profit margins considering all related costs and expenditures such as sales, distribution, marketing, G&A and production.
Rio de la Plata Operating segment
We estimate that our weighted volume market share for the Río de la Plata Operating segment was approximately 15.9%, 17.2% and 17.3% in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, including Beer and ciders in Argentina according to Nielsen, and CSD and Mineral water in Uruguay according to IDRetail.
We entered the Argentine beer market in 1995 by acquiring two breweries and their brands, CICSA and CSF. Under a joint venture agreement entered into with Anheuser-Busch in 1995, we began importing, selling and distributing Budweiser beer in Argentina in March 1996. We began production and distribution of locally produced Budweiser beer in Argentina in December 1996. Additionally, in 1998, we bought the brands and assets of Cervecería Córdoba S.A. In April 2008, we bought ICSA and as a result added to our portfolio the brands Palermo, Bieckert and Imperial. In Argentina, we are the exclusive producer and distributor of Heineken, Amstel and Sol beers and the exclusive distributor in Argentina of import Kunstmann and Guinness beer brands. Additionally, we export beer under the Schneider, Heineken and Budweiser brands. We have beer operations located in Salta, Santa Fe and Luján.
In December 2010, CICSA, our subsidiary in Argentina, acquired control of Sáenz Briones y Cía. S.A.I.C and Sidra La Victoria S.A., entering the cider and spirits businesses in that country. These two operations are the largest in a very fragmented market and own traditional, well-recognized brands, with operating plants in Neuquén (Allen), Mendoza (Chacras de Coria), and Buenos Aires (Pilar and Ciudadela). The most important cider and spirits brands are Real, La Victoria, Saenz Briones 1888 and in spirits, El Abuelo. We also produce and distribute the cider brand Apple Storm.
In September 2012, CCU acquired 100% of the shares of the Uruguayan companies Marzurel S.A., Milotur S.A., and Coralina S.A., and indirectly Andrimar S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Milotur S.A. These companies own the assets of a business developed in Uruguay engaged in the production and marketing of bottled mineral and flavored waters under the Nativa brand, and carbonated soft drinks under the Nix brand. We also distribute Heineken, Schneider and Kunstmann imported beers.
By the end of 2013, CCUacquired 50.005% of Bebidas del Paraguay S.A. and 49.96% of Distribuidora del Paraguay S.A. andentered the Paraguayan market with the production, marketing and distribution of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages under various brands, both proprietary and under license. Bebidas del Paraguay S.A. is the owner of the brands Pulp for carbonated soft drinks, Puro Sol for juices and La Fuente for waters, and has been granted the license to produce and distribute nectars under the Watt’s brand. Additionally, Bebidas del Paraguay S.A. has the license to distribute beer under the Heineken, Coors, Paulaner, Schneider and Kunstmann brands.
On June 6, 2014, CICSA reached agreements with Cervecería Modelo S. de R.L. de CV. and Anheuser-Busch LLC, for the termination of the contract which allows CICSA to import and distribute on an exclusive basis, Corona and Negra Modelo beers in Argentina, and the license for the production and distribution of Budweiser beer in Uruguay. CICSA received compensation in respect of these agreements in the amount of ARS 277.2 million, equivalent to US$34.2 million.
Wine Operating segment
Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A. (VSPT) produces and markets a full range of wine products for the domestic and mainly the export market, reaching over 80 countries. The weighted average volume
25
market share was 17.3%, 17.6% and 18.5% in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. In 2014 VSPT’s sales amounted to approximately 28.8% of total measured domestic industry sales by volume in Chile, according to Nielsen, and 13.6% of total Chilean wine export sales by volume, when excluding bulk wine, according to Wines of Chile Association. VSPT’s main vineyards are located in all principal viticulture Chilean valleys, including productive plants in the cities of Lontué, Molina, San Fernando, Isla de Maipo and Casablanca, and also in Mendoza, Argentina.
We believe that having entered into the Chilean wine business provided us with the opportunity to further leverage our nationwide distribution system through the expansion of our beverage portfolio. We also believe that the development of our domestic wine business helps to reduce the seasonality of our sales, as wine sales in Chile tend to be stronger during winter months when beer and soft drinks consumption decline.

Wine Operating segment
We estimate wine consumption in Chile was to approximately 13 liters per capita in 2014. Given that the Chilean wine industry is fragmented, no single wine producer accounts for the majority of production and/or sales.The leading wineries include, other than VSPT, Viña Concha y Toro S.A.(“Concha y Toro”), Viña Santa Rita S.A. (“Santa Rita”) and Bodegas y Viñedos Santa Carolina S.A.(“Santa Carolina”). In addition, there are numerous medium-sized wineries, including Viña Undurraga S.A. (“Undurraga”), Cousiño Macul S.A. (“Cousiño Macul”)and Viña Montes. Chile’s formal wine market includes all wineries, that sell wine products that comply with industry and tax regulations. VSPT is a member of the formal wine market, as are most other principal wineries in Chile. The informal wine market is composed of many small wine producers. The Agricultural and Livestock Service (Servicio Agrícola Ganadero, or “SAG”) is the entity in charge of wine industry regulation and principally oversees inventory records and product quality. We estimate that the formal market wineries sold approximately 225 million liters of wine during 2014.
The following chart shows our estimates for the formal wine market and per capita consumption levels for wine in Chile for the last five years:
Year | Total Volume (1) | Per Capita |
(in millions of liters) | (liters) | |

Wines in Chile can be segmented by product type. Chilean wineries produce and sell premium, varietal and popular-priced wines within the domestic market. Premium wines and many of the varietal wines are produced from high-quality grapes, aged and packaged in glass bottles. Popular-priced wines are usually produced using non-varietal grapes and are not aged. These products are generally sold in either cartons or jug packaging.
Production and Marketing.
Chile Operating segment
The production, marketing and sales of beverages in Chile generated Net sales of CLP 676,529 million, CLP 765,196 million, and CLP 830,341million, or 62.8%, 63.9% and 64.0% of our total Net sales, in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Our sales by volume in Chile increased 4.1% in 2014.

Under each license agreement, we have the exclusive right to produce, sell and distribute the respective licensed products in Chile. Generally, under our license agreements, we are required to maintain certain standards of quality with respect to the production of licensed products, to achieve certain levels of marketing and, in certain cases, to fulfill minimum sales requirements. We believe that we are in compliance with the quality of all of our license agreements.
On April 28, 2003, through our subsidiaries CCU Chile and CCU Argentina, we and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V.signed license and technical assistance agreements providing us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Chile and Argentina commencing June 18, 2003. On October 12, 2011, we signed with Heineken International B.V. the Amended and Restated versions of the Trademark License Agreements, which provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Chile and Argentina, as of January 1, 2011. These agreements have an initial term of 10 years, and shall automatically be renewed each January 1 for a new period of ten years, unless either party gives notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreementsshare capital. Carozzi will be in force until the last renewal period expires. Heineken beer is the leading brand in the premium segment, the beer segment with the highest growth in Chile in recent years.
Cristal is our principal and best selling beer brand in Chile followed by Escudo, the second most popular beer in the country. Other relevant brands are: Royal Guard, our single, proprietary, premium brand; Morenita in the dark beers; Dorada as our convenience brand; and Lemon Stones a lemon flavored sweetened beer, with 2.5% alcohol content. From time to time, we introduce innovations in our most relevant brands. Somecharge of these innovations include Cristal Cer0,0°, Cristal Light, the 1.2 liter returnable bottle, Escudo Negra and Escudo Triple X, amongst others.
In October 2001, we signed a license agreement with Cervecería Austral S.A. for the production of the Austral brand by our beer division. This agreement is currently renewable for periods of two years, subject to compliance with the contract conditions. Our investmentrespective products, and ECUSA will be in Cervecería Austral S.A., the production of the Austral brand by our beer division; the investment in Compañía Cervecera Kunstmann S.A. (Kunstmann is a specialty beer produced in a variety of versions); and the production of Heineken beer since June 2003, among other initiatives, are part of our strategy to increase our presence in the premium segment of the Chilean beer market.
On April 30, 2010, FEMSA announced the closing of the transaction pursuant to which FEMSA agreed to exchange 100%charge of its beer operations for a 20% economic interest in the Heineken Group. Since then, Heineken introduced the Sol brand to its portfolio, and during 2013 we launched the Sol brand in the north of Chile as a successful test plan to compete in the imported Mexican beer segment, and in 2014 we completed the national roll out of the brand. Similar to the Heineken brand, we have an exclusive 10 year, automatically renewable license on the same terms (Rolling Contract), each year for a period of 10 years, unless notice of non-renewal is given for Chile and Argentina.
During January 2015, we launched Coors and Coors Light in Chile. The license agreement with Coors Brewing Company considers after the initial termination date, the automatic renewal under the same conditions (Rolling Contract), each year for a period of 5 years, subject to the compliance with the contract conditions.

In 1994, our subsidiary ECUSA and Cadbury Schweppes plc (“Cadbury Schweppes”), the latter through its subsidiaries CS Beverages Ltd. and Canada Dry Corporation Ltd., entered into license agreements for all Cadbury Schweppes products. On December 11, 1998, TCCC announced an agreement with Cadbury Schweppes to acquire certain of the latter's international beverage brands, including those licensed to ECUSA, and in August 1999 the agreement was reported to have been consummated. In September 2000, after more than a year’s litigation, both in Chile (suits at civil courts and antitrust authorities) and England (arbitration under ICC rules), ECUSA and TCCC reached an agreement superseding ECUSA’s previous license contracts with CS Beverages Ltd. and Canada Dry Corporation Ltd. The new agreement, referred to as the “Bottler Contract,” was executedbetween ECUSA and Schweppes Holdings Ltd., concerning the Crush and Canada Dry brands, and was approved by the Chilean antitrust commission, thus putting an end to the proceeding regarding the Cadbury Schweppes brands issue and dismissing all complaints filed in consideration of the agreement.

Rio de la Plata Operating segment
Our operation in Rio de la Plata generated Net sales of CLP 253,826 million, CLP 282,435 million and CLP 299,668 million, representing 23.6%, 23.6% and 23.1% of our total Net sales in the last three years, respectively.
On April 28, 2003, CCU Argentina and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V., signed license and technical assistance agreements that provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Argentina commencing June 18, 2003. On October 12, 2011, we and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. signed the Amended and Restated versions of the Trademark License Agreements which provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Chile and Argentina, in force as of January 1, 2011. These agreements have an initial term of 10 years, and shall automatically be renewed each year (January 1st) for a new period of ten years, unless any party gives notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreements will be in force until the last renewal period expires. Heineken beer is the second-largest brand in terms of volume in the premium segment in Argentina.
In October 2006, we signed a long-term contract with ICSA to brew, bottle and package beer in the former AmBev plant in Luján, near Buenos Aires, that was purchased by ICSA. In January 2007, we began brewing our local brands in this plant, obtaining enough production capacity to ensure future growth. In April 2008, we acquired ICSA, including the Luján plant and the brands Imperial, Bieckert and Palermo. ICSA also had a brewing contract agreement with AmBev and, under such contract CICSA brewed beer for AmBev during the peak demand season of 2008-2009.
The license agreement between CCU Argentina and Anheuser-Busch, which provides CCU Argentina with the exclusive right to produce, package, market, sell and distribute Budweiser beer in Argentina and Uruguay, had an initial term of 20 years commencing in December 1995, which in March 2008, was extended to December 2025. Among other things, the license agreement includes provisions for both technical and marketing assistance from Anheuser-Busch. Under the license agreement, CCU Argentina is obligated to purchase certain raw materials from Anheuser-Busch or from suppliers approved by Anheuser-Busch. We began distribution of our locally produced Budweiser in December 1996. See “– Sales, Transportation and Distribution.” In addition, the license agreement is subject to certain specified market share targets and marketing expenditures. In 2010, the license agreementwas modified due to regulatory reasons under the context of the merger between Anheuser-Busch and Inbev. As a result, certain contractual restrictions were released, and rights granted to Anheuser-Busch waived, both in favor of CCU Argentina. During the third quarter 2000, we and Anheuser-Busch signed an export agreement to supply Budweiser from Argentina to Paraguay and Chile. At the end of 2011, the agreement to supply Budweiser from Argentina to Paraguay was ended.

In November 2011, we signed an addendum to the import and distribution contract with Cervecería Modelo S.A., including a clause that specifies the automatic renewal of the contract for a period of four years at the end of 2014 provided that CICSA meets certain minimum purchases goal. In that case, the agreement will last until December 31, 2018.
In 2012, the Company began the migration process to its new proprietary returnable bottle in place of the generic container currently in the industry. The decision to implement this important project was based primarily on the change introduced by the main market player, who in 2011 started to replace the use of generic packaging by a proprietary container for one liter returnable products. The proprietary container’s use results in significant important changes in logistics processes, including the adaptation of the building structure of plants, the acquisition of specific equipment, the adaptation of production lines and agreements with glass bottles and crates suppliers in order to achieve the timely supply of the new bottling process required inputs. The introduction of these proprietary returnable bottles resulted in significant impacts on the industry’s value chain, with higher operating costs associated with the operation of recovery and classification of packaging that significantly affect the level of profitability and industry´s return on capital employed (ROCE). This transition process requires significant investments between 2012 and 2017 mainly in packaging, equipment and infrastructure. To partially finance these investments, bank loans were obtained in local currency with long repayment periods, mitigating the risk of exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations thereby minimizing the fluctuation risk.
In September 2012, CCU acquired 100% shares of the Uruguayan companies Marzurel S.A., Milotur S.A., and Coralina S.A. and indirectly Andrimar S.A., a wholly- owned subsidiary of Milotur S.A.

Our non-alcoholic beverages in Chile include carbonated soft drinks (both cola and non-cola), nectars and juices, sports and energy drinks, ice tea; and water, which includes mineral, purified and flavored bottled water (including HOD), both categories consisting of our proprietary brands and brands produced under license, from PepsiCo (carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks), Schweppes Holdings (carbonated soft drinks) and Promarca (nectars and fruit beverages). In the energy drinks business, we are the exclusive distributor of Red Bull energy drinks in Chile.). We also produce and distribute purified waters under license from Societé des Produits Nestlé S.A. and others, and distribute the imported brand Perrier. We entered in the ready-to-mix category with instant powder drinks in a joint operation with Carozzi.
We also produce and distribute pisco, rum and spirits in Chile. In addition, we have the distribution of Pernod Ricard products through the traditional channel, which excludes supermarkets with centralized distribution.
Wholesale and retail prices of all the previously mentioned categories are not regulated in Chile. Wholesale prices are subject to negotiation between the producer and the purchaser; while retailers determine retail prices to the final consumer. We believe that the key factors determining retailers’ prices include: national and/or local price promotions offered by the manufacturer, the nature of product consumption (on-premises or take-out), the type of packaging (returnable or non-returnable), the applicable tax structure and the desired profit margins considering all related costs and expenditures such as marketing, sales, distribution, and administrative expenses (MSD&A) and production.
During 2016 we implemented the integration of the route-to-market of the beer and non-alcoholic category in Chile throughout the whole country, and at the same time, the Company incorporated into the Chile Operating segment the business activities performed by the Strategic Service Units (“SSU”), which include Transportes CCU, Comercial CCU, CRECCU S.A. and Plasco.
Comercial CCU is responsible for the sale of all of the Company’s products through a unique sales force in those areas where this synergic sales model is more efficient. Additionally, product distribution is handled by our subsidiary Transportes CCU. To the south of Coyhaique, sales and distribution are performed by Comercial Patagona S.A. In Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay these operations are carried out by our own sales force as well as distributors.
Plasco, a subsidiary of CCU, produces nearly all of the returnable and non-returnable plastic bottles used by the Chile operating segment.
International Business Operating segment
We estimate that our weighted volume market share1 for the International Business Operating segment was approximately 12.9%, 13.8% and 14.0% in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively, including beer and ciders in Argentina according to Nielsen; carbonated soft drinks, beer, nectar, mineral water and flavored water in Uruguay, according to IDRetail; and beer, carbonated soft drinks, nectar and mineral water in Paraguay, according to internal estimates.
1The calculation of the weighted average for past periods includes markets and industries that CCU entered at a later date.
We produce and/or import, sell and distribute beer under proprietary brands and licensed brands in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. We also produce, sell and distribute cider in Argentina.
In Argentina, we are the exclusive producer and distributor of Heineken, Amstel, Sol, Budweiser and Miller beer brands; and the exclusive distributor of imported Kunstmann beer brands. Also, from Argentina we export Schneider and Kunstmann beers, our proprietary brands, and Heineken to Uruguay. Additionally, through our subsidiaries in Paraguay, we have the license to distribute beer under the Heineken, Coors, Paulaner, Schneider and Kunstmann brands.
In Uruguay, CCU through its subsidiaries, produce and distribute mineral and flavored bottled water under the Nativa brand, and carbonated soft drinks under the Nix brand. Also, we produce and distribute Watt´s in Uruguay.
In Paraguay, CCU through its subsidiaries, produce and distribute carbonated soft drinks under the brand Pulp, Puro Sol for juices, La Fuente for waters, and Zuma for flavored water, and has been granted the license to produce and distribute nectars under the Watt’s brand. In addition to imported beer distribution in Paraguay, the company entered into craft beer market production with the Sajonia brand, an important local brand.
Wine Operating segment
Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A. (VSPT) produces and markets a full range of wine products for the domestic and mainly the export market, reaching over 80 countries. The weighted average volume market1share was 18.3%, 18.0% and 18.1% in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. In 2016 VSPT’s sales amounted to approximately 29.4% of total measured domestic industry sales by volume in Chile, according to Nielsen, and 12.9% of total Chilean wine export sales by volume, when excluding bulk wine, according to Wines of Chile Association.
VSPT’s main vineyards are located in all principal viticulture Chilean valleys, including productive plants in the cities of Lontué, Molina, Isla de Maipo and also in Mendoza, Argentina. As of January 2017 the carton packaging line of our plant in Lontué has been moved to Molina, as part of our efficiency plan. As a result of this change Lontué continues to serve as one of our storage locations.
We believe that having entered into the Chilean wine business provided us with the opportunity to further leverage our nationwide distribution system through the expansion of our beverage portfolio. We also believe that the development of our domestic wine business helps to reduce the seasonality of our sales, as wine sales in Chile tend to be stronger during winter months when beer and soft drinks consumption decline.
Joint Ventures and Associated companies
CCU participates in the sweet snacks business by means of a joint venture between our CCU Inversiones S.A. and Industria Nacional de Alimentos S.A., a subsidiary of Quiñenco, with a 50% interest each in Foods Compañía de Alimentos CCU S.A. (“Foods”), parent company of Alimentos Nutrabien S.A. Foods initially owned 50% of Alimentos Nutrabien S.A., which specializes in brownies and other high quality home-made products under the brand Nutrabien. During 2016, Foods acquired the remaining 50% stake of Alimentos Nutrabien S.A.
In Bolivia, CCU participates through BBO, which is engaged in the production, marketing and multi-category sales of alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages in Bolivia. Specifically, it produces soft drinks and beer in three plants located in the cities of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and Nuestra Señora de la Paz. Since 2015 BBO has the exclusive license to import, distribute and sell Heineken beer from CICSA.
In Colombia, CCU entered into a series of contracts and agreements with Postobón, by which the parties agreed to initiate a joint agreement for the manufacturing, commercialization and distribution of beer and malt based non-alcoholic beverages through CCC in Colombia. CCC has exclusive contracts for the import, production and distribution of Heineken products and Coors Light in Colombia. In 2016 CCC acquired the brand and assets related to the craft beer brand “3 cordilleras” of Artesana Beer Company S.A.
1 The calculation of the weighted average for past periods includes markets and industries that CCU entered at a later date.

Wine Operating segment
We estimate wine consumption in Chile was approximately 13 liters per capita in 2016. Given that the Chilean wine industry is fragmented, no single wine producer accounts for the majority of production and/or sales.Theleading wineries include, other than VSPT, Viña Concha y Toro S.A.(“Concha y Toro”), Viña Santa Rita S.A. (“Santa Rita”) and Bodegas y Viñedos Santa Carolina S.A.(“Santa Carolina”).In addition, there are numerous medium-sized wineries, including Viña Undurraga S.A. (“Undurraga”), Cousiño Macul S.A. (“Cousiño Macul”) and Viña Montes. Chile’s formal wine market includes all wineries that sell wine products that comply with industry and tax regulations. VSPT is a member of the formal wine market, as are most other principal wineries in Chile. The informal wine market is composed of many small wine producers. The Agricultural and Livestock Service (Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero, or “SAG”) is the entity in charge of wine industry regulation and principally oversees inventory records and product quality.
The following chart shows our estimates for the formal wine market and per capita consumption levels for wine in Chile for the last five years:

Wines in Chile can be segmented by product type. Chilean wineries produce and sell premium, varietal and popular-priced wines within the domestic market. Premium wines and many of the varietal wines are produced from high-quality grapes, aged and packaged in glass bottles. Popular-priced wines are usually produced using non-varietal grapes and are not aged. These products are generally sold in either cartons or jug packaging.
Production and Marketing
Chile Operating segment
The production, marketing and sales of beverages in Chile generated Net sales of CLP 835,430 million, CLP 909,460million and CLP 997,376 million, or 64.4%, 60.7% and 64.0% of our total Net sales, in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Our sales by volume in Chile increased 4.5% in 2016.
Under each license agreement, we have the right to produce and/or sell and distribute the respective licensed products in Chile. Generally, under our license agreements, we are required to maintain certain standards of quality with respect to the production of licensed products, to achieve certain levels of marketing and, in certain cases, to fulfill minimum sales requirements. We believe that we are in compliance with the quality of all of our license agreements.
Cristal is our principal and best selling beer brand in Chile, followed by Escudo, the second most popular beer in the country. Other relevant brands are: Royal Guard, our single, proprietary, premium brand; Morenita in the dark beers; Dorada as our convenience brand; and Stones a flavored sweetened beer, with 2.5% alcohol content. From time to time, we introduce innovations in our most relevant brands, highlighting during 2016 the following: Cristal Radler, Szot, Guayacán and Maracuyá Stones. Royal Scotch Ale as of April 2017.
In October 2001, Cervecería Austral entered into a license agreement with our subsidiary Cervecera CCU Chile Limitada (“Cervecería CCU”) to produce and sell our brand Cristal, any other brand owned by or licensed to Cervecería CCU in the southern part of Chile, as well as produce the Austral brand by our beer division. This agreement is currently renewable for periods of two years, subject to compliance with the contract conditions.
On April 28, 2003, through our subsidiaries Cervecería CCU and CCU Argentina, we and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. signed license and technical assistance agreements providing us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Chile and Argentina commencing June 18, 2003. On October 12, 2011, we signed with Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. the Amended and Restated versions of the Trademark License Agreements, which provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Chile and Argentina, as of January 1, 2011. These agreements have an initial term of 10 years, and shall automatically be renewed each January 1 for a new period of ten years, unless either party gives notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreements will be in force until the last renewal period expires. Heineken beer is the leading brand in the premium segment, the beer segment with the highest growth in Chile in recent years.
On April 30, 2010, FEMSA announced the closing of the transaction pursuant to which FEMSA agreed to exchange 100% of its beer operations for a 20% economic interest in the Heineken Group. Since then, Heineken introduced the Sol brand to its portfolio, and in 2013 we launched the Sol brand in the north of Chile as a successful test plan to compete in the imported Mexican beer segment, and in 2014 we completed the national roll out of the brand. Since 2105 we produce Sol in our facilities. Similar to the Heineken brand, we have an exclusive 10 year, automatically renewable license on the same terms (rolling contract), each year for a period of 10 years, unless notice of non-renewal is given for Chile and Argentina. In addition, we also have the license to import, sell and distribute Tecate in Chile, under this licensing agreement.
During January 2015, we launched Coors and Coors Light in Chile. The license agreement with Coors Brewing Company considers after the initial termination date, the automatic renewal under the same conditions (Rolling Contract), each year for a period of 5 years, subject to the compliance with the contract conditions. Furthermore, we import, sell and distribute Blue Moon, under the same conditions.

Our soft drinks includes proprietary brands, in addition to brands produced under license from PepsiCo, Inc, Schweppes Holdings Ltd and Promarca, which are produced in three production plants: Santiago, Temuco and Antofagasta. We have a line of bottled mineral water since 1960, under our two proprietary brand names, Cachantun and Porvenir, which are bottled and distributed nationally from our two natural sources located within the central region of Chile (Casablanca and Coinco). We also produce and distribute purified waters under license from Societé des Produits Nestlé S.A. and others, and distribute the imported brand Perrier.
In 1994, our subsidiary ECUSA and Cadbury Schweppes plc (“Cadbury Schweppes”), the latter through its subsidiaries CS Beverages Ltd. and Canada Dry Corporation Ltd., entered into license agreements for all Cadbury Schweppes products. On December 11, 1998, The Coca-Cola Company announced an agreement with Cadbury Schweppes to acquire certain of the latter's international beverage brands, including those licensed to ECUSA, and in August 1999 the agreement was reported to have been consummated. In September 2000, after more than a year’s litigation, both in Chile (suits at civil courts and antitrust authorities) and England (arbitration under ICC rules), ECUSA and The Coca-Cola Company reached an agreement superseding ECUSA’s previous license contracts with CS Beverages Ltd. and Canada Dry Corporation Ltd. The new agreement, referred to as the “Bottler Contract”, was executed between ECUSA and Schweppes Holdings Ltd, concerning the Crush and Canada Dry brands, and was approved by the Chilean antitrust commission, thus putting an end to the proceeding regarding the Cadbury Schweppes brands issue and dismissing all complaints filed in consideration of the agreement. On January 15, 2009, the parties executed an amendment to the Bottler Contract which, among others, extended its duration until December 31, 2018, renewable for consecutive five-year periods provided that certain conditions are fulfilled.
In August, 2002, we began importing, selling and distributing Gatorade, a sport drink. In March 2006, a new exclusive bottling agreement was executed between ECUSA and Stokely Van-Camp, Inc., a subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc., authorizing ECUSA to bottle, sell and distribute Gatorade products in Chile, for an initial term ending on March 31, 2010, automatically renewable for successive two or three-year periods if certain conditions set forth in the contract are met. In 2012, this agreement was renewed until March 31, 2015. At this time the Gatorade license is set to expire in December 2018, renewable for an additional period equal to the duration of the Shareholders Agreement of Bebidas CCU-PepsiCo SpA, subject to the compliance with the contract conditions. Since October 2006, we have been producing Gatorade locally.
In February 2005, we launched Mas, a sugar free product made of mineral water, calcium and flavor, creating a new category of flavored water.
In November 2007, ECUSA signed an exclusive bottling agreement with Pepsi Lipton International Limited, authorizing ECUSA to produce, sell and distribute ready to drink tea beverages in Chile. This agreement terminates on March 31, 2020.
The license agreement for nectar products with Watt’s, which granted us exclusive production rights, was first signed in June 1977 and originally had a 33-year term. In February 1999, a new license agreement was signed allowing us to produce new flavors and bottle Watt’s nectars in non-returnable packaging (wide mouth glass and plastic bottles). A new license agreement between us and Watt’s S.A. was signed in July 2004. This new contract provided us with a ten-year license renewable automatically for three consecutive periods of three years if the conditions set forth in the contract were fulfilled at the date of renewal. In December 2006, we signed a joint venture agreement with Watt’s S.A., under which, as of January 30, 2007, we participate in equal parts in Promarca S.A. This new company owns the brands “Watt’s”, “Watt’s Ice Frut”, “Yogu Yogu”, “Shake a Shake” and “Frugo”, among others in Chile. Promarca S.A. granted both of its shareholders(New Ecusa S.A., a subsidiary of ECUSA, and Watt´s Dos S.A., a subsidiary of Watt´s S.A.), for an indefinite period, the exclusive licenses for the production and sale of the different product categories.
Since December 2007, through our subsidiary Aguas CCU, we produce and sell the Nestlé Pure Life brand in Chile under a license contract of the same date, with an initial term of five years, renewable for successive periods of five years if certain conditions are met. And since 2012, under the Manantial brand we carry out the business of home and office delivery of purified water in bottles with the use of dispensers (HOD).
On October 2013, CCU together with its subsidiary ECUSA executed a series of contracts and agreements with PepsiCo Inc. and affiliates, which allowed them to expand their current relationship in the non-alcoholic beverages segment with specific focus on the carbonated soft drinks, as well as extending long-term relationship duration. Pursuant to these agreements, which take into account the creation of an affiliate, Bebidas CCU-PepsiCo SpA, the licenses to produce, sell and distribute in Chile Pepsi, 7up and Mirinda (Pepsi brands) and Bilz, Pap, Kem and Nobis (CCU brands) were granted to ECUSA until December 2043.
In line with our multicategory business strategy, in November 2015, we entered to the ready-to-mix category into a joint operation agreement with Carozzi, for the production, commercialization, and distribution of instant powder drinks under the brands Sprim, Fructus, Vivo and Caricia, and in December 2015 we started to distribute Red Bull in Chile. Aligned with our innovation process in non-alcoholic beverages during 2016, we strengthened our position in the light segment with the launches of Pepsi Zero, Crush Zero, Canada Dry Limon Soda Zero and Ocean Spray Light.
The following table shows the soft drink and water parent brands produced and/or sold and distributed by us through our non-alcoholic subsidiary ECUSA, during 2016:

CCU, through its subsidiary CCU Argentina, produces beers at its plants located in the cities of Salta, Santa Fe and Luján. Our main brands are Schneider, Imperial, Palermo, Santa Fe, Salta, and Córdoba and we hold exclusive license agreements for the production and marketing of Budweiser, Heineken, Amstel and Sol. CCU Argentina imports the Kunstmann brand. Furthermore, it exports beer to several countries, mainly under the brands Schneider and Heineken. Also, CCU is the exclusive distributor in Argentina of Red Bull energy drink.
On April 28, 2003, CCU Argentina and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V., a subsidiary of Heineken International B.V., signed license and technical assistance agreements that provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Argentina commencing June 18, 2003. On October 12, 2011, we and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. signed the Amended and Restated versions of the Trademark License Agreements which provide us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Argentina, in force as of January 1, 2011. These agreements have an initial term of 10 years, and shall automatically be renewed each year (January 1st) for a new period of ten years, unless any party gives notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreements will be in force until the last renewal period expires. Heineken beer is the second-largest brand in terms of volume in the premium segment in Argentina.
In October 2006, we signed a long-term contract with ICSA to brew, bottle and package beer in the former AmBev plant in Luján, near Buenos Aires, that was purchased by ICSA. In January 2007, we began brewing our local brands in this plant, obtaining enough production capacity to ensure future growth. In April 2008, we acquired ICSA, including the Luján plant and the brands Imperial, Bieckert and Palermo. ICSA also had a brewing contract agreement with AmBev and, under such contract CICSA brewed beer for AmBev during the peak demand season of 2008-2009.
The license agreement between CCU Argentina and Anheuser-Busch LLC, which provides CCU Argentina with the exclusive right to produce, package, market, sell and distribute Budweiser beer in Argentina and Uruguay, had an initial term of 20 years commencing in December 1995, which in March 2008, was extended to December 2025. Among other things, the license agreement includes provisions for both technical and marketing assistance from Anheuser-Busch LLC. Under the license agreement, CCU Argentina is obligated to purchase certain raw materials from Anheuser-Busch Incorporated or from suppliers approved by Anheuser-Busch LLC. We began distribution of our locally produced Budweiser in December 1996. See “– Sales, Transportation and Distribution”. In addition, the license agreement is subject to certain specified market share targets and marketing expenditures. In 2010, the license agreement was modified due to regulatory reasons under the context of the merger between Anheuser-Busch LLC and InBev. As a result, certain contractual restrictions were released, and rights granted to Anheuser-Busch LLC waived, both in favor of CCU Argentina.
In November 2011, we signed an addendum to the import and distribution contract with Cervecería Modelo S.A. de C.V., including a clause that specified the automatic renewal of the contract for a period of four years at the endof 2014 provided that CICSA would meet certain minimum purchases goal. In that case, the agreement would last until December 31, 2018.
In 2011, we started to export Schneider beer to Paraguay through Bebidas del Paraguay, and in 2013 to Uruguay through Milotur.
In 2012, the Company began in Argentina the migration process to its new proprietary returnable bottle in place of the generic container currently in the industry. The decision to implement this important project was based primarily on the change introduced by the main market player, who in 2011 started to replace the use of generic packaging by a proprietary container for one liter returnable products. The proprietary container’s use results in significant important changes in logistics processes, including the adaptation of the building structure of plants, the acquisition of specific equipment, the adaptation of production lines and agreements with glass bottles and crates suppliers in order to achieve the timely supply of the new bottling process required inputs. The introduction of these proprietary returnable bottles resulted in significant impacts on the industry’s value chain, with higher operating costs associated with the operation of recovery and classification of packaging that significantly affect the level of profitability and industry´s return on capital employed (ROCE). This transition process requires significant investments between 2012 and 2017 mainly in packaging, equipment and infrastructure. To partially finance these investments, bank loans were obtained in local currency with long repayment periods, mitigating the risk of exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations thereby minimizing the fluctuation risk.
On November 29, 2012, CICSA and Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. signed the Trademark License Agreement which provides us with the exclusive rights to produce, sell and distribute Heineken beer in Argentina and Paraguay. This agreement has an initial term of 10 years, and will be automatically renewed for a five years period unless any party gives notice of its decision not to renew, in which case the agreements will be in force until the last renewal period expires.
In 2013 the production of Budweiser beer started in Luján, in addition to Heineken which was already being brewed since 2009. Currently Santa Fe and Luján Plants produce both brands. Additionally, the production of Amstel beer was launched under the license of Amstel Brouwerijen BV, an affilliate of Heineken International.
In 2013 we started exporting Heineken to Uruguay through Milotur and in 2015 to Bolivia through BBO.
In June 2014, CICSA reached agreements with Cervecería Modelo S.A. de C.V. and Anheuser-Busch LLC, for the termination of the contract which allows CICSA to import and distribute on an exclusive basis, Corona and Negra Modelo beers in Argentina, and the license for the production and distribution of Budweiser beer in Uruguay. CICSA received compensation in respect of these agreements in the amount of ARS 277.2 million, equivalent to USD 34.2 million.

Beer is a substitute product for wine in Chile. In addition, our wine products may also compete with other alcoholic beverages, such as spirits (mainly pisco), and with non-alcoholic beverages, such as soft drinks and juices.
The average price for our domestic wine customers was CLP1,911 and CLP 2,008 per liter in 2013 and 2014, respectively, experiencing a growth of 5.0%. Our wine price policy is mainly determined as a consequence of four factors: a) market prices, b) change in sales mix, c) inflation rate and d) desired profit margin in relation to costs of raw materials.
Export Market.According to industry sources, exports of Chilean wine increased from approximately 43 million liters in 1990 to 801908 million liters in 2014,2016, at a compounded annual growth rate of 13.0%12%. During 20132015 and 2014,2016, Chilean wine exports reached 879877 million liters and 801908 million liters, respectively. We believe that Chilean wine exports have grown steadily due to their comparatively low prices and positive international image, as well as due to external factors, such as low wine production in the Northern Hemisphere in certain years.
VSPT exported 71from Chile 68 million liters in 2012, 702014, 73 million liters of wine in 2013,2015, and 7074 million liters of wine in 2014.2016.

Competition.Competition
Chile Operating segment
The beer market in Chile is driven by the competitive environment of locally produced and imported beers, promoting among other factors, according to internal valuations, an estimated average industry volume growth rate of 6%4.4% over the last ten years.
Our largest competitor in the beer business is Cervecería Chile (a subsidiary of Anheuser BuschAB InBev), which commenced operations in Chile during the second half of 1991. Cervecería Chile has one production facility located in Santiago and also imports products from various beer operations abroad. They distribute their products throughout Chile using a mix of direct distribution and third party distributors.
OtherAnother relevant playersplayer in the beer market in Chile include DESA, which, in addition to Cervecería Chile, distributes the Corona beer brand in Chile, andis Viña Concha y Toro through its subsidiary Distribuidora Peumo, which imports and distributes the Miller beer brand along with a number of local craft beers. In addition, a number of small direct importers of several international brands compete in the beer market in Chile.
Our principal competitors in the non-alcoholic beverages business are companies which produce, bottle and distribute soft drinks in Chile under licenses from The Coca-Cola Company (“TCCC”) and its affiliates. The two principal soft drinks players in Chile are the licensees of TCCCThe Coca-Cola Company and us. TCCCThe Coca-Cola Company operates through Embotelladora Andina S.A. and Coca-Cola Embonor S.A. In October 2012, Embotelladora Andina S.A. merged with Coca-Cola Polar S.A., where Embotelladora Andina S.A. absorbed Coca-Cola Polar S.A.
Fruit nectars under the trade name “Watt’s” face competition from other soft drinks, which are sold by a number of local companies. Our principal competitor in the mineral water business is Vital S.A. (a subsidiary of Embotelladora Andina S.A., one of TCCCThe Coca-Cola Company licensees in Chile).
TCCC’s products are produced, bottled and distributed in Chile through two separate licensees which market soft drinks under the Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Light, Coca-Cola Zero, Fanta, Fanta Light, Sprite, Sprite Zero, Quatro Light, Nordic Mist, Taí, Andina nectars and juices, and Kapo juice brand names.
Our domestic competitors in the soft drinks business have benefited from both internationally recognized brand labels (especially with regard to the Coca-Cola product line) and a large number of local bottling companies distributing their products throughout Chile. As a result of the formation of ECUSA, we also similarly benefited from the internationally recognized Pepsi brand as well as our competitive strengths, which include a portfolio of nationally well-known brands and a nationwide distribution system.
Given the high percentage of soft drink sales volumes in returnable containers coupled with the high cost of transportation to Chile, the market for imported soft drinks in Chile is not significant in 2014. While there are no legal barriers to entry, we believe that the existing returnable bottle system and high transportation costs may continue to deter potential competitors from exporting soft drinks to Chile.
With respect to pisco, our main competitor is Capel which has nine production facilities located in Regions III and IV of Chile and distributes its products throughout the country. Capel uses its own sales force, as well as third-party distributors.
While there are currently no significant legal or regulatory barriers In January 2016 CPCh divested its interest in Compañía Pisquera Bauzá S.A. Following this change, Bauzá became a relatively small competitor compared to entering the Chilean beverages market, substantial investment would be required to establish or acquire production and distribution facilities and bottles for use in Chile’s proprietary returnable bottling system, and to establish a critical mass in sales volumes. Nevertheless, if long-term economic conditions in Chile continue to befavorable, other enterprises may be encouraged to attempt to enter the Chilean market. In addition, our brands in Chile may face increased competition from other beverages, produced or marketed by other parties.Capel.

Rio de la PlataInternational Business Operating segment
Since 2003, after the agreement between Quilmes and AmBev, the Argentine beer market consisted of three principal brewing groups: AmBev-Quilmes, us and Warsteiner (owner of CASA Isenbeck, subsidiary of SABMiller).Isenbeck. The principal proprietary brands of these companies are Quilmes, Schneider and Isenbeck, respectively. In December 2006, ICSA, a new competitor, entered the Argentine beer market. ICSA began its operations at the former AmBev brewery in Luján producing three beer brands: Palermo, Bieckert and Imperial, which had previously belonged to Quilmes. These assets were sold by AmBev-Quilmes in response to requirements of the antitrust authorities in Argentina. In 2008, these assets were bought by CCU Argentina and subsequently merged into CICSA. In November 2010, SABMiller acquired CASA Isenbeck.

Quilmes, the beer market leader in Argentina and our principal competitor, also has beer operations in Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia. As of December 31, 2014,2016, Quilmes had five breweries in Argentina with an estimated total annual production capacity of 16001,600 million liters. Quilmes’ large size enables it to benefit from economies of scale in the production and distribution of beer throughout Argentina. In 1994, Companhia Cervejaria Brahma, one of the two largest beer producers in Brazil, commenced production at its new brewery in Luján, near Buenos Aires, which at present belongs to CCU Argentina. In addition, Warsteiner (today SABMiller)SAB Miller), a large German brewer, commenced production at its new brewery in Zárate, also near Buenos Aires, with an annual production capacity estimated to be approximately 140 million liters. Prior to commencing production in Argentina, Companhia Cervejaria Brahma and Warsteiner competed in the Argentine market with imported beer. In July 1999, the merger of Companhia Cervejaria Brahma and Companhia Antarctica Paulista was announced, creating AmBev. This merger was finally approved in March 2000, creating one of the largest beverage producers in the world.
In May 2002, AmBev and Quilmes announced that pursuant to an agreement between both parties, AmBev would transfer all of its beer assets in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay to Quilmes inexchangein exchange for 26.4 million new B shares of Quilmes. Additionally, according to that announcement, AmBev would purchase from the controlling shareholders of Quilmes 230.92 million class A shares for US$346.4 million. The agreement further stipulated that AmBev can purchase at the end of a seven-year period the remaining Quilmes shares owned by the current controlling group, the Bemberg family, with AmBev shares. The Bemberg family had the option to sell to AmBev their remaining class A shares during a period beginning with the end of the first year and ending with the seventh year after the agreement was announced. This option was exercised in April 2006. This transaction was approved by the Argentine antitrust authorities on January 13, 2003, subject to the condition that AmBev and Quilmes divest themselves of certain brands and the AmBev plant in Luján, near Buenos Aires, to a company currently not present in the Argentine beer market. On February 14, 2003, through our subsidiary CICSA, we filed a complaint before the Argentine federal courts in order to be eligible to participate in the acquisition of these assets. In February 2006, the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice ruled against our complaint. In December 2006, the Argentine authorities approved the sale of these assets to ICSA, a company owned by local investors. On March 3, 2004, AmBev and Interbrew announced an agreement to merge the two companies, creating the world’s largest brewer under the name InBev. This merger was closed in August 2004. On November 18, 2008 Anheuser Busch and InbevInBev merged creating the global beer leader. Consolidation in the beer industry has resulted in larger and more competitive participants, which could change the current market conditions under which we operate.

In 2010 SABMillerSAB Miller bought Casa Isenbeck (Isenbeck, Warsteiner and La Diosa brands) and launched Miller Genuine Draft and Miller Lite beer in Argentina.
During 2015 SAB Miller plc accepted an offer from AB Inbev to merge its operations. As a result of the merger between AB Inbev and SAB Miller plc, Quilmes and CASA Isenbeck become one player. See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Business – Consolidation in the beer industry may impact our market share”.
In 2016 AB Inbev sold the Miller brands Lite to Coors Brewing Company. In Argentina, CICSA signed an agreement with Coors Brewing Company to manufacture, package, commercialize and distribute the Miller brands through December 2026, with an automatic renewal for a period of five (5) years if the renewal criteria have been satisfied.
Our beer brands in Argentina also face competition from other alcoholic beverages, such as wine and spirits, as well as from non-alcoholic beverages, such as soft drinks.
Wine Operating segment
The wine industry is highly competitive in both the domestic and the export markets. In Chile, VSPT competes directly against all other Chilean wineries. We believe that VSPT’s primary domestic competitors, Concha y Toro and Santa Rita, derive their relative competitive strengths from their wide portfolio of products, well-recognized brand names and established distribution networks. In 2014,2016, Concha y Toro and Santa Rita had a volume market share of approximately 27%28.0% and 31%31.4%, respectively. VSPT also competes with Santa Carolina and numerous medium-sized wineries, including Undurraga and Cousiño Macul, and many small wine producers that make up Chile’s informal wine market.
Internationally, VSPT competes against Chilean producers as well as with wine producers from other parts of the world. According to information compiled by the Wineries of Chile Association, VSPT is the second-largest exporter of Chilean wines with a market share of approximately 14%12.9% in 2014,2016, excluding bulk wine. Our other principal Chilean competitors, namely Concha y Toro, Santa Rita and Santa Carolina had market shares of 32%33.6%, 4%4.9% and 5%4.5%, respectively.

Distribution Network. In Chile, we have an extensive and integrated distribution network for the sale and distribution of beer, soft drinks, mineral water, purified water, functional beverages, nectars, wine, pisco, rum, whiskey, vodka and sweet snacks products with capacity to reach approximately 116,606 points of sale. The network includes a total of 39 owned or leased warehouses and a network of independent transportation companies handled by Transportes CCU. Sales are performed by category-specific sales forces and by Comercial CCU S.A. (“Comercial CCU”) which has a sales force of approximately 427 people who sell our products to approximately 37,189 customers in the northern area of Chile from Arica to Copiapó/Vallenar and in the mid-south area from Curicó/Talca through Coyhaique, except for Concepción. In the far south of Chile, in Punta Arenas, Comercial Patagona Limitada does the selling for all our products, reaching 590 customers. In the central parts of the country and in the City of Concepción, there are dedicated sales forces that focus on single lines of products. Product distribution is carried out by Transportes CCU throughout the country or by Comercial Patagona Limitada in its territory.
In Argentina we have the capacity to reach 300,000 points of sale. Our network of sales and distribution for our products consists of 6 owned or leased warehouses, a direct sales force and 10 logistics operators serving approximately 132,000 customers and more than 80 supermarket chains stores. Approximately 19% of beer sales volume is served by two independent Coca Cola bottlers (mainly in the north and south of the country).
Plastic Bottles.Through our subsidiary Fábrica de Envases Plásticos S.A., or PLASCO, we own and operate a plastic factory in Renca which supplies most of the pre-forms, returnable and non-returnable bottles and caps, primarily used by us in the packaging of our soft drinks and water products. Additionally, PLASCO has three blowing bottle machines in ECUSA at Santiago facilities and two in Antofagasta.
The manufacturing of both returnable and non-returnable plastic bottles involves a two-step process. The first step consists of an injection molding process, which manufactures pre-forms from PET resin. The second step involves blowing plastic bottles from the molded pre-forms. We purchase resin and complete the two-step process in order to fulfill the majority of our bottling requirements. In some cases, we purchase pre-forms manufactured by third party suppliers and complete only the bottle-blowing step at our own facilities.
The manufacturing of plastic caps for carbonated soft drinks and water also involves a two-step process. The first consists of a compress molding process, which manufactures caps from PP resin. The second step is the decoration of plastic caps with an offset printing process. For juices and Gatorade we produce caps in a one step process with another raw material (HDPE).
Sweet Snacks.In January 2004, we entered the sweet snacks business by means of a joint venture between our subsidiary ECUSA (currently, this investment belongs to our subsidiary CCU Inversiones S.A.) and Empresas Lucchetti S.A. (currently, Industria Nacional de Alimentos S.A.), a subsidiary of Quiñenco, with a 50% interest each in Calaf S.A. (today, Foods), a corporation that acquired the trademarks, assets and know-how, among other things, of Calaf S.A.I.C. and Francisca Calaf S.A., traditional Chilean candy makers, renowned for more than a century. In August 2005, Calaf S.A. acquired the assets and know-how of Bortolaso S.A., a cookie factory with more than 50 years of existence in the country, enabling Calaf S.A. to increase its presence in the most important segment of the sweet snacks business. In October 2007, Calaf acquired the traditional cereal brand Natur, allowing Calaf S.A. to enter and commence growing in the quickly developing healthy foods category. In August 2008, Foods bought 50% of Alimentos Nutrabien S.A. the leading company in home-made sweet snacks products. The three brands–Calaf, Natur and Nutrabien–have niche products aimed at specific market segments. This niche segmentation along with enhancement in formula and raw materials is expected to improve the company’s brand equity.
As of January 13, 2015, we informed the “Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros” that we were negotiating the sale of the assets associated with the Calaf and Natur confectionery and cerealbusinesses, which includes trademarks, machines and inventories, to Empresas Carozzi S.A. As of March 2015, we are still undergoing negotiations with Empresas Carozzi S.A.

Government Regulation
Government Regulation in Chile
We are subject to the full range of governmental regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies engaged in business in Chile. These regulations include labor laws, social security laws, public health, consumer protection, environmental laws, securities laws, and antitrust laws. In addition, regulations exist to ensure healthy and safe conditions in facilities for the production, bottling, and distribution of beverages. For a more detailed discussion of environmental laws, see “–“Item 4.D. Environmental Matters.”Matters”.
Regulations specifically concerning the production and distribution of “alcoholic beverages” are contained in Chilean Law N°18,455 and its Ordinance, which set the standards for human consumption of such beverages, by minutely describing the different types of alcohol; the minimum requirements that must be met by each class of beverage; raw materials and additives that may be used in their manufacture; their packaging and the information that must be provided by their labels; and the procedure for their importation, among others.
Additional regulations concerning wine origin denominations are contained in Executive Decree N°464 of the Ministry of Agriculture, dated December 14, 1994, which also laid out the wine-growing regions and set rules regarding grape varieties, vintage year, labeling and selling requirements. Pisco origin denominations, also applicable to us, are regulated in Executive Decree N°521 dated May 27, 2000 of the Ministry of Agriculture and likewise contains provisions relating to pisco producing regions, raw material standards, manufacturing procedures, packaging and labeling.
The large-scale production of alcoholic beverages does not need any licenses or permits other than those required for the general run of commercial and industrial enterprises engaged in the manufacture of consumer commodities.
On January 19, 2004According to Law N°19,925 was published,enacted in 2004, which amended and restated the Act on Sale and Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages (former Law N°17,105).
All, all establishments dealing in alcoholic beverages, whether wholesale or retail, require a special municipal license, the cost of which is fixed by the law and varies according to the nature of the outlet or point of sale (i.e. liquor store, tavern, restaurant, hotel, warehouse, etc.). We are in possession of all licenses necessary for our wholesale operations.
Law N°19,925 also set new opening and closing hours; limited geographical areas for the sale of alcohol; reduced the maximum number of licenses to be granted by zones and population; increased criminal liability for selling alcohol to persons under eighteen years of age; and tightened the restrictions, imposing prison sentences and higher fines, for violations formerly deemed lighter. One of its most important innovations is to forbid the sale of alcohol to minors at all outlets, and not just for on-premises drinking (the only exception retained is the case of children who are served meals when accompanied by their parents).
The regulatory agency for alcoholic beverages is the Servicio AgricolaAgrícola y Ganadero (“SAG”).
The production, bottling and marketing of non-alcoholic beverages is subject to applicable sanitary legislation and regulations, particularly the Sanitary Code and the Food Ordinance (theReglamento Sanitario de los Alimentos)Alimentos).

Law N°19,937, which was enacted in 2004, and fully operative by February 2004,2006, established a newthe structure and powers for the current Sanitary Authority, and became effective on January 1, 2005 and was fully operative by February 2006.Authority. TheServicios de Salud (“Health Services”)were replaced by the Ministry of Health’s Regional Offices, which constitute the new Sanitary Authorities, which inspect plants on a regular basis, taking samples for analysis, directing the adoption of new safety procedures and applying fines and other penalties for infringement of regulations.
The production and distribution of mineral water is also subject to a special regulation. Mineral water may only be bottled directly from sources, which have been designated for such purpose by a Supreme Decree signed by the President of Chile. The competent Sanitary Authority provides a certification of the data necessary to achieve such a designation. All of our facilities have received the required designation.
Independently of the products manufactured or services provided in each plant or facility, the premises are also regularly inspected by the Sanitary Authorities, regarding sanitary and environmental conditions, labor safety, and related matters.
There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in Chile with respect to any regulatory matter. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutory and administrative regulations with respect to our businesses in Chile.
Government Regulation in Argentina

1Supply Capacity per month is defined as nominal installed production capacity for the current product/packaging mix during 25 days per month and 3 shifts per day.Theday. The calculated slack (spare) capacity does not necessarily indicate real slack capacity. The real production capacity is less than the nominal installed production capacity as adjustments are required for real machinery performance, packaging mix, availability of raw materials and bottles, seasonality within the months and other factors. As a result, we believe that the peak monthly capacity utilization rates shown above understate real capacity utilization and that slack capacity is overstated.

E. Environmental Matters
Chile
Our operations are subject to both national and local regulations in Chile relating to the protection of the environment. Regarding human health, the fundamental law in Chile is the Health Code, which establishes minimum health standards and regulates air and water quality, as well as sanitary landfills. The local Sanitary Authority is the governmental entity in charge of the enforcement of these rules and has the authority to impose fines.
The environmental framework is governed by Law N°19,300, enacted in 1994, as amended, which includes not only environmental protection rules but also rules concerning the preservation of natural resources. Among other matters, it creates the environmental impact assessment system which requires any future project or major amendment of an existing activity that may affect the environment to evaluate its possible environmental impact, in order to fulfill related regulations and to implement mitigation, compensation and restoration measures. Our latest executed projects have been successfully submitted to this system and the environmental public entity has given the respective authorizations.
Law N°19,300 also creates a mechanism of point sources emission limits and environmental quality standards that are developed and detailed by specific regulations. In this sense, there is a special regulation for wastewater discharges into sewage systems, and another regulation for wastewater discharges into superficial water bodies, in both cases pursuant to a schedule of deadlines. Over the years, CCU implemented specific action plans in each operation, optimizing those emissions and,based on the location and wastewater quality, invested in highly efficient treatment plants. Such plants are also designed to generate boiler-suitable biogas. We are in compliance with this law and related regulations in all material respects, having fulfilled at each relevant stage all requirements prescribed by them.
59
Through the enactment of Law N°20,417 in 2010 and Law N°20,600 in 2012 (amending Law N°19,300), the Ministry of Environment and the three governmental bodies (Environmental Superintendency, Environmental Assessment Service and specific Environmental Courts) were established, replacing all former activities of the CONAMA, the National Environmental Commission (or Comision Nacional del Medio Ambiente, or “CONAMA”). Those new governmental bodies are now responsible for the development, implementation and enforcement of various regulations regarding environmental management in relation to environmental standards, protection of natural resources, environmental education and pollution control, among other responsibilities.
In addition to the new institutional framework, a digital system was created in order to gather and report periodic information called “Register of Emissions and Transfer of Pollutants” (Registro de Emisiones y Transferencia de Contamintantes or RETC). The referred system is necessary to proceed with both, waste and emissions declarations.The waste declarations cover Hazardous Wastes Declarations (Declaración de Residuos Peligrosos or SIDREP), the National Waste Declaration System (Sistema Nacional de Declaración de Residuos or SINADER) and the National Hazardous Substances Storage Declaration System (Sistema Nacional de Declaración de Instalaciones que Almacenan Sustancias Peligrosas or DASUSPEL).Meanwhile the emissions declaration covers the form required to report our stationary sourced emissions, in compliance with DS N°138.
In line with the above, in June 2016, Law N°20,920 was enacted, which establishes the framework for waste management, the extended responsibility of the producer (REP) and promotion of recycling, which names “priority products” that must be recovered by the producers who put them on the market. The priority payments must be managed through recycling, recovery or final disposal through an individual or collective Waste Management System. Regarding the latter, the authority will impose collection goals through specific regulations that are still under development.
Relating to environmental pollution levels, Law N°19,300 gives the possibility to the Office of the Secretary-General of the Presidency to define categories of highly polluted areas as “Latent Zone” and “Saturated Zone” through the enactment of a Supreme Decree. For the former category, the Ministry must establish decontamination plans, and for the latter category, it must establish prevention plans.
Due to the high levels of air pollution in the Santiago metropolitan area,Metropolitan Area, the relevant authorities have implemented a decontamination plan, which includes different levelstypes of measures depending on the air quality and certain measures thatlevels, some ofwhich can be directly imposed on industries. In the case of emergency situations, those companies comprising the industries classified as producing the highest levels of particle and gas emissions must suspend their activities. We are in compliance with current regulations applicable to both our beer and soft drink facilities in the Santiago metropolitan areaMetropolitan Area in all material respects.
On October 4, 2016, a decontamination plan for Santiago City was approved (“Santiago Respira”). Santiago Respira includes new measures to reduce levels of pollution during winter. The plan includes a “low emissions area” that will only allow the circulation of newer models of trucks and may impose a permanent restriction on the circulation of vehicles with a “green seal” between May and August of each year.
Regarding the Tax Reform Act of 2014, and its amendments of 2016, an annual tax has been adopted, applicable to emissions from stationary sources over 50MWt. On December 2, 2016, a list of facilities subject to payment of such tax was published. Included on that listCervecería CCU´s industrial plant located in Quilicura. Therefore during 2017, we are required to report our emissions on a monthly basis. Based on those reports, the Chilean Tax Authority (SII) will determine the tax amount payable on 2018. Our improvement plan for 2017 includes actions that are aimed at reducing our emissions below the 50 MW limit established by SII.
Finally according to the RE 2129 of July 29, 2016 from the General Water Authority (Dirección General de Aguas or DGA), owners of groundwater usage rights will be required to modify their extraction control systems and to report their results periodically to DGA.
There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in Chile with respect to any environmental matter. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental regulations.
During 2016, VSPT Wine Group was recognized as the “Green Company of the Year”, VSPT Wine Group was recognized as a leader in the Implementation of Renewable Energies by the British magazine The Drinks Business in the 2016 Green Awards, one of the most important prizes in terms of sustainability.
Argentina
New laws and regulations are beinghave been enacted in Argentina as a result of heightened community concerns for environmental issues. Consequently, there are several statutes imposing obligations on companies regarding environmental matters at the municipal, provincial and federal levels in accordance with the General Environmental Protection Framework (Law N°25,675), which establishes the Basic Environmental Protection Budgets, forming the fundamentals to develop all legislation and national environmental policy. In many cases, private entities operating public utilities such as water supply and sewage are in charge of controlling and enforcing those regulations. ManyExamples of thesenew laws and regulations have been recently enacted are: (i) the National Register of Chemical Substances (Decree 900/12), which was implemented in January 2014 and little precedent exists asaims to their scope.improve the traceability of chemical substances by means of strict control of all chemical substances that enter or leave the industrial plant, (ii) Decree 801/2015 regarding the global system of classification and labeling of chemical products, which based on Decree 3359/2015 was implemented in April 2016 for pure substances, and will be implemented in January 2017 for mixed substances, and (iii) Law N°26,190 the National Regime for the Use and Promotion of Renewable Sources of Energy, which was modified by Law N°27,191 and regulated by Decree 531/2016, with the objective to gradually implement the Use of Renewable Sources of Energy in the plants.
Another important federal environmental legislation in Argentina is the Hazardous Waste Act (Law N°24,051), which is supplemented by additional provincial legislation, to enforce the provisions of the Hazardous Waste Act when specific federal tests indicate the need to do so. The application of the provisions of the Hazardous Waste Act depends upon the magnitude of the public health risk and whether those conditions exist in more than one province. Hazardous waste is defined broadly and includes any residue that may cause harm, directly or indirectly, to human beings that may pollute the soil, water, atmosphere or the environment in general. Generally, claims involving hazardous waste give rise to strict liability in the event of damage to third parties. In addition, each province in which we operate facilities has enacted environmental legislation with broad and generic goals, as well as water codes and related agencies to regulate the use of water and the disposal of effluents in the water.
Over the last several years CCU Argentina has implemented a complete program for the treatment of its industrial waste, which involves the separation, collection, transportation and reusing of the generated solid waste, in compliance with the Industrial Waste Act (Law N°25,612), as well as wastewater treatment plants. The waste program is part of our constant effort to improve environmental conditions.
The main features of our wastewater treatment plants are their production of biogas which is used as boiler fuel, their minimum space requirements and its low electric power consumption. Also, all of CCU’s major operations facilities have been awarded theCertificado de Aptitud Ambiental(Environmental Aptitude Certificate) which is the main document endorsing the company’s environmental management in each provincial state.
60
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the regulation of matters related to environmental protection is not as well developed in Argentina as in the United States and certain other countries. Accordingly, we anticipate that additional laws and regulations will be enacted over time with respect to environmental matters.
While we believe that we will continue to be in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations, we cannot assure you that future legislative or regulatory developments will not impose restrictions on us, which could result in material adverse effects on our businesses, results of operations and our financial condition. There are currently no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us in Argentina with respect to any regulatory matter. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutory and administrative regulations with respect to our business in Argentina.

ITEM 5: Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
Overview
CCU is a diversified beverage company operating principally in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay. CCU is the largest Chilean brewer, the second-largest Chilean soft drinks producer and the largest Chilean water and nectar producer, the second-largest Argentine brewer, the second-largest Chilean wine producer and the largest pisco distributor. It also participates in the HOD, rum and confectionery industries in Chile, in the beer, water and soft drinks industries in Uruguay, and in the soft drinks, water and nectar industries and beer distribution in Paraguay and Bolivia. The Company has licensing and/or distribution agreements with Heineken Brouwerijen B.V., Anheuser-Busch Incorporated, PepsiCo Inc., Schweppes Holdings Limited, Guinness Brewing Worldwide Limited, Société des Produits Nestlé S.A., Pernod Ricard and Compañía Pisquera Bauzá S.A.
We face certain key challenges and risks associated with our business. These risks include competition within the marketplace, managing operating costs and the integration and expansion of new products. We are the leading brewery in Chile; however, competitors are investing in this market and launching new products, and therefore, we must concentrate on competitive pricing and marketing strategies to maintain our market share. Operating costs are subject to variations depending on plant efficiency, product mix and production cycles, and also on U.S. dollar commodities prices and the rate of exchange from Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars or Euros. Our principal costs include the cost of raw and packaging materials, distribution and marketing costs. We continue to sell and deliver new products to our customers, including products through new licensing agreements and new products through internal development.
The analysis of our results is based on financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The three most recent years are considered in the discussion below.
In 2014, we reached new historical records in sales volumes and Net sales revenues, obtaining consolidated Net sales of CLP1,297,966 million, of which 64% was accounted for from the Chile Operating segment; the Rio de la Plata Operating Segment accounted for 23%; 13% was accountedfor by sales of our Wine Operating Segment, and the remainder was accounted for by sales of other products and/or consolidation eliminations. Our Net sales revenues increased 8.4% over the prior year as we increased sales of existing products and had a higher average price per product.
61
Changes in Consolidation Scope and Circular Letter N° 856
As of 2012, CCU has adopted the application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) No. 11 Joint Arrangements. This change in accounting policy implies that investments held in joint agreements with Promarca S.A. and Compañía Pisquera Bauzá S.A., in which we have 50% and 49% ownership interests, respectively, are changed from the equity method to accounting for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to our ownership share in a joint operation. The effects of this accounting change in the consolidation scope have had an impact at the Operating Result level, but no effect on Net income or Equity.
On September 29, 2014 Act No. N°20,780 was published in Chile, regarding the so called “Tax reform”Tax Reform Act which introducesintroduced amendments, among others, to the Incomeincome tax system. The saidTax Reform Act providesestablishes that corporations will apply by defaultas of 2017 Open Stock Corporations should calculate their taxes based on the "Partially“Partially Integrated System", unless a future extraordinary shareholders´ meeting agreesSystem” without the possibility to opt for the "Attributedalternative “Attributed Income Regime”. The "Partially Integrated System" provides for a gradual increase in the First Category Income tax rate, going from 20% to 21% for the 2014 business year, to 22.5% for the 2015 business year, to 24% for the 2016 business year, to 25.5% for the 2017 business year, and to 27% starting in the 2018 business year.
The difference between assets and liabilities for deferred taxes whichthat occur as a direct effect of the increase in the First Category Income tax rate introduced by Act No. N°20,780 and according to the Circular Letter N°856 (“Oficio Circular”(Oficio Circular N°856) of the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance ("SVS"),SVS, has been accounted against Equity, under Retained earnings. As of September 30, 2014, the total effect registered against the Company’s Equity amounted to CLP 14,395 million.
Consequently, as ofsince December 31, 2014, in addition to the financial statements issued to comply with the rules and instructions of the SVS, the Company will issueissues financial statements in which the adjustment caused by the application of the new tax rates in Chile to the difference in assets and liabilities for deferred taxes, will beis registered against income in order to comply with IFRS as issued with the IASB.IASB, the regulation required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
A.
ADJUSTED OPERATING RESULT
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes included thereto in this annual report. In the following discussion, Chilean peso amounts have been rounded to the nearest million pesos, unless otherwise indicated. Certain amounts (including percentage amounts) which appear herein have been rounded and may not sum to the totals shown.
We evaluate the performance of the segments based on several indicators, including Adjusted Operating Result, Adjusted Operating Result Before Depreciation and Amortization (ORBDA), ORBDA margin (% of ORBDA of total revenues for the Operating segment), volumes and sales revenues. Sales between segments are conducted using terms and conditions at current market rates.
Adjusted Operating Result is a non-IFRS financial measure, as it isand reflects a subtotal in our Consolidated Statement of Income.Note 7 under Operating segment´s additional information (page F-51). A non-IFRS financial measure does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by either IFRS or U.S. GAAP. For management purposes, Adjusted Operating Result is defined as earningsNet Income before other gains (losses), net financial expense, equity and income of joint ventures, foreign currency exchange differences, result as per adjustment units and income taxes. Or alternatively, can be defined as "Income from Operational Activities" excluding "Other gains/(losses)".
Our managementThe Company believes that the use of "Adjusted Operating Result" provides investors with a better understanding of the day-to-day performance of the Company, because elements included under "Other gains/(losses)" such as impacts derived from derivative contracts and marketable securities are not considered part of the core business of each Operating segment and therefore are managed at the corporate level. The performance of Operating segments is assessed by this measure, and for the same reason this measure is used by each segment´s Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess the performance of the Operating segments. This measure eliminates items that have less bearing on our operating performance and thus highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. The Company believes that disclosure of Adjusted Operating Result provides useful information to investors and financial analysts in their review of our operating performance and their comparison of our operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the beverage industry, but it may not be comparable to similarly titled indicators used by other companies. Adjusted Operating Result is not a substitute for IFRS measures of earnings.
62
“Adjusted Operating Result” has important limitations as an analytical tool. For example, “Adjusted Operating Result” does not reflect (a) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements needed for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; or (d) tax payments or distributions to our parent to make payments with respect to taxes attributable to us that represent a reduction in cash available to us. Although we consider the items excluded in the calculation of non-IFRS measures to be less relevant to the evaluation of our performance, some of these items may continue to take place and accordingly may reduce the cash available to us.
The following table presents the Net sales and Adjusted Operating Result, and the relevant percentage as a component of Net sales, for each of our Operating segments:segments. Starting from the third quarter of 2016, the Company has incorporated into the Chile Operating segment the business activities performed by the Strategic Service Units (SSU), which include Transportes CCU, Comercial CCU, CRECCU S.A. and Plasco. Prior to December 2015, the revenue and expenses of the Strategic Service Units were reported under Others. However, for comparability purposes, these revenues and expenses have been restated and are now allocated to the Chile Operating segment. For an overview of the restatements see F-46 and F-47 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

This variation is primarily due to higher Result as per adjustment units and lower inflation during 2016 compared to 2015, partially offset by higher foreign currency exchange differences.
Other gains (losses)
Our Other gains (losses) decreased from a net gain of CLP 8,512 million in 2015 to a net loss of CLP 8,346 million in 2016. Mostly due to the negative results on our hedges related to the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on taxes on our foreign currency denominated assets.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012B.
The major occurrences of the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 were: (a) significant increases in our expenses, which we were able to partially offset by increasing prices while protecting our market shares with commercial efforts and our innovative strategy, and (b) the strong and consistent growth of sales.
Net sales
Our Net sales were CLP1,197,227 million in 2013 compared to CLP1,075,690 million in 2012, representing an 11.3% increase, primarily due to higher sales volumes coupled with higher per unit prices on average.
The Net sales performance of our main Operating segments during 2013 is described below:
Chile:Net sales increased 13.1% to CLP765,196 million as a result of 12.4% higher sales volume coupled with 0.6% higher average prices. Sales volumes increased in all categories as a result of higher per capita consumption coupled with higher consolidated market share. Unit prices were higher on average as the sales mix in both the beer and pisco categories included more premium products.
Río de la Plata:Net sales increased 11.3% to CLP282,435 million as a result of 5.9% higher sales volume coupled with 5.1% higher average prices. Sales volumes increased mainly due to the increase in sales in the Uruguayan operation, partially offset by decreases in the Argentinean operation. Higher per unit prices were primarily as a result of price increases implemented at the end of 2013 in Argentina, as well as a higher percentage of premium products in our sales mix.
Wine:Net sales of wine increased 1.8% to CLP152,255 million in 2013, from CLP149,557 million in 2012. The increase in sales was due to a 1.9% average increase in unit prices partially compensated by a 0.1% decrease in sales volume. The 1.7% accumulated yearly average Chilean peso depreciation against the U.S. dollar positively influenced our exports.
Cost of sales
Our cost of sales in 2013 was CLP536,697 million compared to CLP493,087 million in 2012, an increase of 8.8%. However, as a percentage of Net sales, cost of sales decreased to 44.8% in 2013 from 45.8% in 2012.
Our cost of sales for our main Operating Segment during 2013 is described below:
Chile:The cost of sales for our Chilean operation increased 11.3% to CLP343,230 million in 2013, from CLP308,359 million in 2012, primarily due to higher volumes and lower cost per unit in non‑alcoholic categories as a percentage of Net sales. One-way packaging costs, which have a greater cost of sales on average, were higher due to changes in our sales mix, but the increase was partially offset by lower per unit raw material cost and decreased energy costs. Cost of sales as a percentage of Net sales decreased to 44.9% in 2013 from 45.6% in 2012 despite of the strong Chilean peso devaluation in the last quarter of the year.
Rio de la Plata:Cost of sales increased 13.2% to CLP113,265 million in 2013, from CLP100,033 million in 2012 mainly due to higher production costs in the CCU Argentina operation of CLP7,587 million, relating to items such as bottle depreciation, personnel and maintenance costs. Cost of sales as a percentage of Net sales increased to 40.1% in 2013 from 39.4% in 2012.
Wine:The cost of sales for our Wine segment decreased 2.9% to CLP92,864 million in 2013, from CLP95,635 million in 2012, primarily due to lower direct costs, which account for a CLP4,661 million decrease, related to a lower price for grapes due to a better harvest. Therefore, cost of sales as a percentage of Net sales decreased from 63.9% in 2012 to 61.0% in 2013.
70
Gross margin
Gross margin increased 13.4% to CLP660,530 million in 2013, from CLP582,603 million in 2012. As a percentage of Net sales, gross profit increased to 55.2% in 2013 from 54.2% in 2012 due to lower average unit costs of raw materials and higher sales prices.
Marketing and selling, distribution and administrative expenses
Our MSD&A increased 16.8% to CLP473,524 million in 2013, from CLP405,243 million in 2012. As a percentage of Net sales, our MSD&A increased to 39.6% in 2013 from 37.7% in 2012.
The MSD&A performance of our main Operating segments during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 is described below:
Chile:The MSD&A of our Chilean operation increased 18.8% to CLP275,203 million in 2013, from CLP231,696 million in 2012. The increase in MSD&A was primarily attributable to higher distribution costs of CLP29,796 million due mainly to higher volumes and higher real salaries caused by low unemployment in Chile, as well as increased marketing expenses of CLP13,452 million to support a new innovation strategy and several new product launches in our brand portfolio. As a percentage of Net sales, MSD&A increased to 36.0% in 2013 from 34.2% in 2012.
Río de la Plata:The MSD&A of our Rio de la Plata segment increased 13.4% to CLP142,972 million in 2013, from CLP126,049 million in 2012 due mainly to the CCU Argentina business. The increase in MSD&A was primarily due to higher selling expenses of CLP12,633 million and higher distribution costs of CLP8,565 million, all related mainly to inflationary pressures in the Argentinean operation. As a percentage of Net sales, our MSD&A increased to 50.6% in 2013 from 49.7% in 2012.
Wine:The MSD&A of our wine segment increased 6.6% to CLP46,036 million in 2013, from CLP43,175 million in 2012. This increase in MSD&A was primarily related to higher marketing expenses of CLP1,162 million and higher distribution costs of CLP983 million due to higher real salaries caused by low unemployment in Chile. As a percentage of Net sales, our MSD&A for this segment increased to 30.2% in 2013 from 28.9% in 2012.
Other operating income/(expenses) and exceptional items
Other operating income/(expenses) increased in 2013 resulting in a net income of CLP4,249 million in 2013, as compared to a net income of CLP3,828 million in 2012.
During 2013, CCU recorded the effect of CLP2,989 million as exceptional items associated with a restructuring process of the organization which implied the early retirement of managers replaced internally, promotions and the sole and exceptional payments of incentives to the leaving and remaining personnel.
Operating result
The Operating result increased 3.9% to CLP188,266 million in 2013, as compared to CLP181,188 million in 2012. As a percentage of Net sales, our operating result decreased from 16.8% in 2012 to 15.7% in 2013.
The Operating result performance of our main Operating segments during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 is described below:
Chile:The operating result increased 6.6% to CLP147,367 million due to 13.1% higher Net sales partially compensated by 11.3% higher cost of sales and 18.8% higher MSD&A expenses. The Operating result margin decreased from 20.4% to 19.3%.
Río de la Plata:The operating result decreased 4.9% to CLP26,693 million due to a 13.2% increase in cost of sales and 13.4% higher MSD&A expenses partially offset by 11.3% higher Net sales. The Operating result margin decreased from 11.1% to 9.5%.
Wine:The operating result increased 16.8% to CLP12,913 million in 2013, from CLP11,053 million in 2012 due to a 2.9% decrease in cost of sales and a 1.8% increase in Net sales partially offset bya 6.6% increase in MSD&A expenses. As a percentage of Net sales, our operating result margin increased from 7.4% in 2012 to 8.5% in 2013.
71
Net financing expenses
Net financing expenses increased 69.1% to a loss of CLP15,830 million in 2013 as compared to a loss of CLP9,362 million in 2012. This change was primarily due to higher debt in Argentina at ARS nominal interest rates, taken to renew the proprietary bottle park, partially offset by higher financial incomes from the current cash and cash equivalent in 2013 compared to 2012.
Equity and income from joint ventures
CCU has 50% participation in both Cervecería Austral S.A. and Foods Compañía de Alimentos CCU S.A. The share of the gain/loss in the referred companies increased 274.3% to a gain of CLP309 million in 2013, from a loss of CLP177 million in 2012.
Result as per adjustment units and exchange rate differences
The adjustment applied to our net liabilities due to Chilean inflation and foreign exchange fluctuations resulted in a net loss of CLP6,094 million in 2013, as compared to a net loss of CLP6,061 million in 2012. This variation is primarily due to higher foreign currency exchange differences partially offset by a better result as per adjustment units due a lower change in the UF value.
Other gains (losses)
Other gains (losses) increased from a net loss of CLP4,478 million in 2012 to a net gain of CLP959 million in 2013. The change resulted from gains related to hedges covering foreign exchange variations on taxes.
Income taxes
Income taxes for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 amounted to CLP34,705 million, translating into an effective consolidated tax rate of 20.7%. Income taxes in 2012 amounted to CLP37,133 million, translating into an effective consolidated tax rate of 23.1%. Income tax decreased by CLP2,428 million mostly due to a one-time positive effect of CLP2,510 million tax provision reversals related to deposits for returns of bottles and containers.
Net income for the year
Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 increased 7.2% to CLP132,905 million in 2013 from CLP123,977 million in 2012, primarily as a result of a 3.9% operating result increase and lower income taxes.
Net income attributable to equity holders of parent company
Net income attributable to equity holders of our parent company increased 7.5% from CLP114,433 million in 2012 to CLP123,036 million in 2013 for the reasons explained in the preceding paragraphs.
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests increased from CLP9,544 million in 2012 to CLP9,869 million in 2013. This increase was primarily due to higher results in Aguas CCU Nestlé, partially offset by a higher stake in Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity has been cash generated by our operating activities, which amounted to CLP 138,845173,622 million, CLP 194,155219,511 million and CLP173,622 190,014 million, during the years 2012, 20132014, 2015 and 2014,2016, respectively.
72
Our cash flow from operations and working capital are our primary sources to meet both our short-term and long-term obligations. In the opinion of our management, they are sufficient for those purposes.
The principal component of cash flows generated by operating activities in 20142016 were amounts collected from clients net of payments to suppliers of CLP528,430 646,311 million compared to CLP 513,398649,767 million in 20132015 and CLP 464,649532,878 million in 2012.2014.

The principal components of cash flows used in financing activities consisted of dividends paid of CLP 69,820 million in 2016, including dividends paid relating to minority interests (CLP 66,147 million in 2015 and CLP 65,316 million in 2014), of the repayment of bank borrowings of CLP 25,295 million in 2016 (CLP 54,797 million in 2015 and CLP 20,766 million in 2014), partially offset by the proceeds from short-term and long-term borrowings of CLP 23,150 million in 2016 (CLP 42,929 million in 2015 and CLP 37,366 million in 2014), and other cash movement outflows of CLP81,471CLP 1,945 million in 2016 mainly due to the amortization of the series E bond (outflows of CLP 2,526 million in 2015 and outflows of CLP 81,471 million in 2014 mainly due to the payment of the series I bond (outflows of CLP3,162 million in 2013 and outflows of CLP3,545 million in 2012), of dividends paid of CLP65,316 million in 2014 (CLP63,681 million in 2013 and CLP66,117 million in 2012) and the repayment of bank borrowings of CLP20,766 million in 2014 (CLP22,344 million in 2013 and CLP62,425 million in 2012), and partially offset by the proceeds from short-term borrowings of CLP21,883 million in 2014 (CLP12,040 million in 2013 and CLP28,551 million in 2012), and the proceeds from long-term borrowings of CLP15,483 million in 2014 (CLP10,853 million in 2013 and CLP37,607 million in 2012)bond). Additionally, we received a netpaid amount of CLP326,663CLP 19,112 million from our 2013 capital increase.for the acquisition of additional interests in Manantial S.A. through own subsidiaries Aguas CCU-Nestlé Chile S.A. and Embotelladoras Chilenas Unidas S.A.
In 2014,2016, our cash used in investment activities totalled CLP238,970 155,007 million compared to CLP 136,918165,810 million in 20132015 and CLP 134,340238,970 million in 2012.2014. The principal components of cash used in investment activities in 20142016 consisted of capital expenditures of CLP227,863 128,883 million (CLP 122,451131,731 million in 20132015 and CLP 115,768230,080 million in 2012)2014) and payments made to acquire interests in joint ventures, in non-controlling interests and to obtain control of subsidiaries or other businesses of CLP 29,859 million (CLP 44,084 million in 2015 and CLP 15,222 million (CLP 14,566 million in 2013 and CLP 19,522 million in 2012), partially offset by the proceeds from sale of assets of CLP2,587 million (CLP 1,741 million in 2013 and CLP 3,195 million in 2012)2014).
Other than in relation to Argentina, where the present measures taken by the Argentine Government to control the trade balance and the foreign exchange rate do not allow for the repatriation of dividends from our subsidiaries to Chile, there are no material restrictions, either legal or economic, that would limit our ability to transfer funds (i.e., dividends, loans, or advances) from our subsidiaries to us.
As of December 31, 2014,2016, we had CLP131,558CLP 58,342 million (CLP313,647(CLP 75,485 million in 20132015 and CLP54,996CLP 131,558 million in 2012)2014) in cash, overnight deposits, bank balances, time deposits and marketable securities,investments in mutual funds, which doesdo not include CLP83,217CLP 75,448 million (CLP95,206(CLP 117,069 million in 20132015 and CLP47,341CLP 83,217 million in 2012)2014) corresponding to readjustable promissory notes issued by the Central Bank andsecurities purchased under resale agreements. Indebtedness, including accrued interest, amounted to CLP187,153CLP 160,490 million as of December 31, 2014.2016. Short-term indebtedness included:

On
In December 2004 the Company issued a bond (“E” series) for UF 2 million with a 20-year term to maturity in the local market. This obligation accrues interest at a fixed annual rate of UF+4.0% and amortizes capital on a constant semi-annual basis.
In April 2, 2009 the Company issued two series of notes in the local market for UF 3 million and UF 2 million for a total of CLP104,188CLP 104,188 million in order to refinance a previous loan of CLP30,000CLP 30,000 million and a US$100 million syndicated loan that matured in November 2009. The conditions of the bonds are as follows:
73
| “I” Series | “H” Series |
UF amount | 3 million | 2 million |
Term | 5 years | 21 years |
|
|
|
Amortization | Bullet |
since year 11 |
Interest Rate | UF+3.00% | UF+4.25% |
As mentioned above, during the last quarter of 2009 we repaid a syndicated loan of US$100 million which had been converted into a fixed-rate UF loan through a cross-currency swap. Additionally, during March 2014 we paid all outstanding amounts under the “I” Series bonds.
As of December 31, 2014,2016, some of our outstanding debt instruments required that we maintain certain financial ratios. The most significant covenants required us to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of Adjusted Operating Result before Depreciation and Amortization (as calculated by CCU in accordance with particular debt instruments in order to measure such instruments’ financial covenants) to interest expenses equal to or higher than 3.00 to 1.00; to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of adjusted liabilities to adjusted equity) equal to or lower than 1.50 to 1.00 in CCU, 1.20 to 1.00 in VSPT and 2.002.50 to 1.00 in CPCh; a minimum consolidated equity of CLP 312,516.75 million, of CLP 83,337.8 million in VSPT and of UF770UF 770 thousand (CLP18,963 20,288 million as of December 31, 2014)2016) in CPCh; and a maximum indebtedness ratio of less than 3.00 to 1:001.00 from financial liabilities (bank loans, notes, and leasing obligations) to Adjusted Operating Result before Depreciation and Amortization. Furthermore, we were required to maintain a ratio of our unpledged assets over our unsecured liabilities of at least 1.2. The definition of, and calculation mechanics for, all covenants were established when we first entered into these debt instruments, and were based on Chilean GAAP, which are no longer in use since the Company adopted IFRS, as issued by the IASB. For that reason, the Company in 2010 adapted, with the consent of its creditors, these requirements to the new accounting standards and principles.
At December 31, 2014,2016, we met all our financial debt covenants and had a consolidated interest coverage ratio of 10.8313.99 to 1,1.00, a consolidated leverage ratio of 0.460.49 to 1.1.00. The consolidated adjusted equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company as of December 31, 20142016 was CLP 1,085,3671,136,527 million. Our ratio of unpledged assets over unsecured liabilities was 3.16.3.06.
None of our indebtedness, or that of our subsidiaries, contains any term that restricts our ability to pay dividends other than the requirement to maintain a minimum consolidated equity.

During the years 20152017 through 2018,2020, we plan to make capital expenditures mainly to adapt, update and increase production capacity, installing new packaging lines, enhancing environmental protection, optimizing our distribution system and warehouse facilities, investing in additional returnable bottles and crates to replace obsolete inventories, adapting to new packaging formats and supporting industry volume growth. Capital expenditures are also directed to improving management information systems and making additional investments in marketing assets.
We review our capital investment program periodically and changes to the program are made as appropriate. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will make any of these proposed capital expenditures at the anticipated level or at all. In addition, we are analyzing the possibility of making acquisitions in the same or related beverage businesses, either in Chile or in other countries of South America’s southern cone. Our capital investment program is subject to revision from time to time due to changes in market conditions for our products, general economic conditions in Chile, Argentina and elsewhere, interest, inflation and foreign exchange rates, competitive conditions and other factors.
We expectThe financing of our investments comes mostly from cash flow from operations generated by the Company and new credits, always taking into account an adequate debt/equity structure in order to fundminimize capital costs, and at the same time debt levels and maturities compatible with our capitaloperational cash flow generation.
C.Research and Development
Innovation is the driver that allows CCU to meet constantly evolving demand. Our research and development efforts to continuously satisfy the market by introducing new products and brands, although significant, do not involve material expenditures, throughas we have a combinationclose relationship with the companies that own the brands subject to license contracts. The relationship with the license owners is a constant resource in these matters as well as in the application of internally generated funds, long-term indebtednessproduction best practices, providing access to the “state of the art” techniques and knowledge in the industry.
In 2003, we entered into two technical agreements with Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. for assistance regarding all technical issues related to the production and bottling of Heineken Lager, one for Chile and the 2013 capital increase.other for Argentina.
76In May 2005, we entered into a technical assistance agreement withHeineken Technical Services B.V. (currently Heineken Supply Chain B.V.)for certain operational aspects of our breweries, with an initial term of one year, renewable for subsequent periods of one year each. See “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees” and “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions”.
The license agreement between CCU Argentina and Anheuser-Busch, signed in 1995, as amended, also provides us with both technical and marketing assistance for the production and marketing of Budweiser beer brand in Argentina. See “Item 4: Information on the Company – Business Overview – Production and Marketing –International Business Operating segment”.
D.Trend Information
The Chilean economy grew 1.6% in 2016, with an inflation rate of 2.8%. Average unemployment was 6.5% in 2016. We cannot assure you that the consumption of our products will vary in the same proportion as the overall economic indicators, since there is no perfect correlation. The conditions in particular sectors of the economy may have different impact in our business. Factors such as competition and changes in relative prices among the various types of beverages can affect the consumption of our products.
In August 2016, labor reform Law N°20,940 was approved, which results in a more rigid labor market, effective as of April 2017.
On June 26, 2015 Decree N°13 of the Ministry of Health was published which modifies the Sanitary Food Products Regulations (DC 977 of the Ministry of Health) and enforces Law N°20,606 of 2012 regarding the nutritional composition of food products and its promotion. Both regulations establish certain restrictions on promotion material, labeling, and commercialization of these products that have been classified as being “high” in calories or any of the defined critical nutrients, such as sodium, sugar and saturated fats. Additionally on November 13, 2015 Law N°20,869 regarding the promotion of food products was published, restricting the time of day promotions for products high in calories or any of the defined critical nutrient can be aired on television and in the cinema. This regulation change came into force on June 27, 2016 and affected part of our non-alcoholic portfolio. We have taken measures to mitigate the impact of this new law.
The Chilean Congress is currently discussing a bill that provides, among others, for a new regime of temporary water rights, which apply to future water rights that are granted. The bill would also introduce a system of revocation of water rights, for those not in use. This bill could undergo modifications during its discussion in the Chilean Congress. After its enactment, regulations will be required for the implementation of the new regime, which is not expected to occur during the year 2016. If enacted during 2017, respective regulations should be dictated for effects of the new implementation of this bill.
All CCU plants have electrical power contracts, either regulated or agreed with distributors or generators, with prices tied to spot prices, coal prices and CPI (U.S. consumer price index). A shortage is not foreseen in the coming years.
Natural gas for CCU plants came from GNL Quinteros facilities, which imports gas from renewable sources at international prices. We do not foresee any shortages.
In 2016 the Argentine economy contracted 3.8% and the country experienced inflation levels of approximately 40%, and devaluation levels of 60% against the U.S. Dollar, impacting our U.S. Dollar denominated cost of sales, and devaluation of 55% against the Chilean peso, impacting our revenues from CCU Argentina reported in Chilean pesos. Future volatility of exchange rates of the Chilean peso and Argentine peso in any given period may affect the level of income reported from our foreign operations under IFRS.
The measures taken by the previous Argentine government to address the country’s economic crisis of 2002 severely affected the Argentine financial system’s stability and have had a materially negative impact on the country´s economy. If Argentina were to experience a new fiscal and economic crisis, the Argentine government could implement economic and political measures, which could adversely impact our business.
Since January 2006, the Argentine government has adopted different methods to directly and indirectly regulate the prices of various consumer goods, including bottled beer, in an effort to slow inflation. Additionally, measures taken by the previous Argentine government to control the country’s trade balance and to limit the access to foreign currencies have negatively impacted the free import of goods and royalty payments by the Company, and also the repatriation of profits. This situation has changed following the installation of the new government in December 2015. We cannot assure you that the current Argentine government will not implement this type of measures and that these will not have an adverse effect on our operations in Argentina.

Critical Accounting Policies and Practices
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in this annual report. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experiences, changes in the business environment and information collected from qualified external sources. However, actual results may differ from estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and/or require management’s subjective judgments. The most critical accounting policies and estimates are described below.
a) Property, plant, equipment and bottles: The key judgments we must make under the property and equipment policy include the estimation of the useful lives of our various asset types, expected residual values, the election of a method for recording depreciation, management’s judgment regarding appropriate capitalization or expensing of costs related to fixed assets, and the evaluation of potential impairments, if any.
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. In estimating the useful lives (residual values are considered) we have primarily relied upon actual experience with the same or similar types of equipment and recommendations from the manufacturers. Useful lives are based on the estimated amount of years an asset will be productive and are revisedarerevised periodically to recognize potential impacts caused by new technologies, changes to maintenance procedures, changes in utilization of the equipment, and changing market prices of new and used equipment of the same or similar types.
Property and equipment assets are evaluated for possible impairment. Factors that would indicate potential impairment may include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the market value of the long-lived asset(s), a significant change in the long-lived asset’s physical condition and operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the long-lived asset. This process requires our estimate of future cash flows generated by each asset or group of assets. For any instance where this evaluation process indicates impairment, the appropriate asset’s carrying values are written down to net realizable value and the amount of the write-down is charged against the results of continuing operations.
Expenditures that substantially improve and/or increase the useful life of facilities and equipment are capitalized. Other maintenance or repair costs are charged income as incurred.
b) Goodwill, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets other than goodwill: Management exercises judgment in assessing goodwill and the useful lives of other intangible assets including commercial trademarks and software programs. Judgments are also exercised for assessing potential impairments for these kinds of assets. Goodwill is recorded as the excess of the purchasepricepurchase price of companies acquired over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and is accounted for at its cost value less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Goodwill in the acquisition of joint ventures is assessed for impairment as part of the investment, provided that there are signs indicating that the investment may be impaired. We annually review the recorded value of our goodwill, or sooner if changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may exceed fair value. Recoverability of the carrying value of the asset is determined by comparing net book value, including goodwill, to fair value based on the estimated future net cash flows of the relevant assets. See Notes 2.142.15 and 2.152.16 to our financial statements.
78
c) Deposits for returns of bottles and containers: Deposits for returns of bottles and containers corresponds to the liabilities registered by the guarantees of money received from customers for bottles and containers placed at their disposal and represents the value that will be returned to the customer upon return ofwhen it returns the bottles and containers to the Company in good condition along with the original document. This value is determined by estimating the numberestimation of the bottles and containers in circulation that are expected to be returned to the Company over a periodin the course of time based on the historic experience, physical counts held by clients and independent studies over the quantities that are in the hands of end consumers, valued at the average weighted guarantees for each type of bottlebottles and container.containers.
The Company does not intend to make a significant repayment of these deposits within the next 12 months. However, suchSuch amounts are classified within current liabilities, under the line Other financial liabilities, since the Company does not have the legal ability to defer this payment for a period exceeding 12 months. This liability is not discounted, since it is considered a payable on demand, with the original document and the return of the respective bottles and containers and it does not have adjustability or interest clauses of any kind.kind in its origin.
d) Severance Indemnities: As of December 31, 2014,2016, the liabilities for mandatory severance indemnities have been determined at their current actuarial value, based on the accrued cost of the benefit, using an annual discount interest rate of 6%5.52% in Chile and 42.43%31.88% in Argentina. The calculation also considers several assumptions such as the estimated years of service that personnel will have at the date of their retirement, mortality rates and future salary increases.

For those instruments not classified at fair value through profit and loss,income, any cost attributable to the transaction is recognized as part of the asset value.
The fair value of the instruments that are actively quoted in formal markets is determined by the quoted price as of the financial statement closing date. For those investments without an active market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniquestechnique including (i) the use of recent market transactions, (ii) references to the current market value of another financial instrument of similar characteristics, (iii) discounted cash flow and (iv) other valuation models. These
After the initial recognition the Company values the financial assets are valued at fair value and the incomeas described below:
Accounts receivable
Trade receivable credits or losses originated by the change in fair valueaccounts are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The assets at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets classified as held for trading by the Company. Financial assets are classified as held for trading when acquired with the purpose of selling them within a short term. Derivative instruments are classified as held for trading unless they are classified as hedge instruments.according to their invoice value.
The estimatedCompany acquires loan insurances covering approximately 90% and 99% of the individually significant accounts receivable balances, for the domestic market and the international market, respectively, of the total of accounts receivable, net of a 10% deductible.
An impairment of accounts receivable balances is recorded when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be capable to collect amounts according to the original terms. Some indicators that an account receivable has impairment are the financial problems, initiation of a bankruptcy, financial restructuring and age of the balances of our customers.
Estimated losses from bad debts are determined by applying different percentages, taking into account maturity factors, until reaching 100% of the balance in most of the debts older than 180 days, with the exception of those cases that in accordance with current policies, for which losses are estimated due to partial deterioration based on a case by case analysis.
Current trade receivable credits and accounts are initially recognized at their nominal value and are not discounted because they do not differ significantly from their fair value. The Company has determined that the calculation of the amortized cost is not materially different from the invoiced amount because the transactions do not have significant associated costs.
Financial liabilities
The Company recognizes a financial liability in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position according to the following:
Debts and financial liabilities that accrue interests
Loans and financial obligations accruing interest are initially recognized at the fair value of the resources obtained, less costs incurred directly attributable to the transaction. After initialrecognition,initial recognition, loans and obligations accruing interest are valuedmeasured at their amortized cost.

Loans and obligations accruing interest with a maturity within a twelve-monthtwelve month period are classified as current liabilities, unless the Company has the unconditional right to defer the payment of the obligation for at least a twelve-monthtwelve month period after the financial statement closing date.
79
Trade accounts payable and other payables
Accounts payable and other accounts payable are initially recognized at their nominal value because they do not differ significantly from fair value. The Company has determined that no significant differences exist between the carrying value and amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Derivative Instruments
All derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value as of the date of the derivative contract and subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Gains and losses resulting from fair value measurement are recorded in the Statement of Income as gains or losses due to fair value of financial instruments, unless the derivative instrument is designated as a hedging instrument.
The Financial Instruments at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets classified as held for trading and financial assets which have been designated as such by the Company. Financial assets are classified as held for trading when acquired with the purpose of selling them within a short term. Derivative financial instruments fair values that do not qualify for hedge accounting are immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Other gains (losses). These derivatives fair values are recorded under Other financial assets or Other financial liabilities.
Derivative instruments are classified as held for trading unless they are classified as hedge instruments.
Derivative instruments classified as hedges are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
In order to classify a derivative as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes, the Company documents (i) as of the transaction date or at designation time, the relationship or correlation between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management purposes and strategies, (ii) the assessment, both at designation date as well as on a continuing basis, whether the derivative instrument used in the hedging is highly transaction effective to offset changes in inception cash flows of the hedged item. A hedge is considered effective when changes in the cash flows of the underlying directly attributable to the risk hedged are offset with the changes in fair value, or in the cash flows of the hedging instrument with effectiveness between 80% to 125%.
The total fair value of hedging derivatives are classified as assets or financial liabilities in Other non-current if the maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months and as other assets or current liabilities if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. The ineffective portion of these instruments can be viewed in Other gains (losses) of the Consolidated Statements of Income. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of derivative instruments that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are initially recognized in Cash Flow Hedge Reserve in a separate component of Equity. The income or loss related to the ineffective portion is immediately recognized in the Statement of Income. The amounts accumulated in Equity are reclassified in Income during the same period in which the corresponding hedged item is reflected in the Statement of Income. When a cash flow hedge ceases to comply with the hedge accounting criteria, any accumulated income or loss existing in Equity remains in Equity and is recognized when the expected transaction is finally recognized in the Statement of Income. When it is estimated that an expected transaction will not occur, the accumulated gain or loss recorded in Equity is immediately recognized in the Statement of Income.
f)Accounting changes:
During the year ended on December 31, 2014,2016, there have been no significant changes in the use of accounting principles or relevant changes in any accounting estimates with regard to previous years that have affected our auditedthese consolidated financial statements.
Trend Information
The Chilean economy grew 1.9% in 2014, with an inflation rate of 4.6%. The GDP growth for 2015 had been estimated in the range of 1.8% to 3.5%. Average unemployment was 6.3% in 2014. We cannot assure you that the consumption of our products will vary in the same proportion as the overall economic indicators, since there is no perfect correlation. The conditions in particular sectors of the economy may have different impact in our business. Factors such as competition and changes in relative prices among the various types of beverages can affect the consumption of our products.
During December 2014, the current Chilean government has submitted a proposal to the Chilean parliament, for their approval, to reform employment rules and labor laws which might result in a more rigid labor market.
Also, subject to further health regulations, which approval is delayed, new food labeling rules will take effect. This new regulation, to be met by manufacturers, will gradually toughen rules and restrictions on the labeling, packaging information, and food advertising, among others.
The Chilean Congress is also currently discussing a bill that establishes, among others, a new regime of temporary entitlements for water rights on future rights to be granted, while introducing a system of revocation for those not in use. This bill is subject to revision during the course of its discussion, and it is currently unclear what final form it will take if enacted.
Electricity spot prices have increased significantly in the past years due to drought conditions and the postponement of investments in new capacity, specifically hydroelectricity and coal generation. All CCU plants have electrical power contracts, either regulated or agreed with distributors or generators, with prices tied to spot prices, coal prices and CPI (US consumer price index). A shortage is not foreseen in the upcoming years as electricity can be generated with fuel, though at a higher cost. Construction of new power generation plants remains uncertain.
Our main plants in Chile are supplied by Metrogas Quintero, a natural gas company, which imports gas from renewable sources at international prices. Accordingly, we do not foresee shortages as was the case in the past when the natural gas supply depended on Argentina.
The measures taken by the Argentine government to address the country’s economic situation have severely affected the Argentine financial system’s stability and have had a materially negative impact on its reputation and, more recently, on the Company’s business. Recently, Argentina has been increasing restrictions on foreign exchange transactions. If Argentina were to experience a new fiscal and economic crisis, the Argentine government could implement economic and political measures, which could adversely impact our business. The unpredictability, timing and scope of possible measures adopted by the Argentine government, including expropriations, higher taxesand exchange control measures, could adversely affect our operations in Argentina and our future results of operations.
80
Revenues from CCU Argentina, in Chilean pesos, are also subject to the volatility of exchange rates of the Chilean peso and Argentine peso in any given period. This volatility may also affect the level of income reported from our foreign operations under IFRS. Restrictions imposed by the Argentine government on the repatriation of profits might delay the flow of cash from Argentina to Chile. There is a rule in Argentina with respect to imports which mandates that a company can import goods only if it can demonstrate a flow of exports to balance the trade deficit. This rule affects our businesses as we regularly import raw materials and finished products.

ITEM 10: Additional Information
A. Share Capital
Not applicable.
B. Memorandum and Articles of Association
Provided below is a summary of certain material information found in our bylaws and provisions of Chilean law. This summary is not exhaustive. For more information relating to the items discussed in this summary, the reader is encouraged to read our updated bylaws, available in our website atwww.ccu.cl. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this document.
Registration and corporate purposes.We are a public corporation (sociedad anónima abierta) organized by means of a public deed dated January 8, 1902, executed before the notary public of Valparaíso, Mr. Pedro Flores, and our existence was approved by Supreme Decree N° 889 of the Treasury Department, dated March 19, 1902, both of which were recorded on the reverse of folio 49, N° 45 of Valparaíso’s Registry of Commerce for 1902, and published in Chile’s Official Gazette on March 24, 1902. We were recorded on March 8, 1982, at Chile’s Securities Registry of the SVS under N° 0007.
The last amendment to our articles of association, which incorporates the resolutions of the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on June 18, 2013, that approved to increase the capital of the company,Company, by the issuance of 51,000,000 shares, were set forth in a public deed dated June 18, 2013, executed before the notary public of Santiago, Eduardo Diez Morello, an extract of which was recorded on the folio 48,216 N° 32,190 of the Santiago Registry of Commerce for 2013, published in the Official Gazette on June 25, 2013.
Under Article 4 of our bylaws, the corporation’s principal purpose is to produce, manufacture and market alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, to manufacture containers and packaging, and to provide transportation services, among other businesses.
Directors.Under the Chilean Corporations Act, a corporation may not enter into a contract or agreement in which a director has a direct or indirect interest without prior approval by the board of directors, and then only if it inures tois in the benefitinterest of the company, hasthe price, terms and conditions are similar to those prevailing in the market at the time of its approval and the transaction complies with the requirements and procedures stated in Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act regarding Related Party Transactions. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”Transactions”.
The amount of any director’s remuneration is established each year by the annual shareholders’ meeting. Directors are forbidden, unless previously and duly authorized thereto by the board of directors, to borrow or otherwise make use of corporate money or assets for their own benefit or that of their spouses, certain relatives or related persons. These rules can only be modified by law.
101
It is not necessary to hold shares to be elected director, and there is no age limit established for the retirement of directors.
Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares.shares. At least 30% of our net profits for each fiscal year are required to be distributed as dividends in cash to our shareholders, unless our shareholders unanimously decide otherwise. Any remaining profits may be used to establish a reserve fund (that may be capitalized at any time, amending the corporate bylaws by the vote of a majority of the voting stock issued), or to pay future dividends.
Compulsory minimum dividends, i.e., at least thirty percent of our net profits for each fiscal year, become due thirty days after the date on which the annual shareholders' meeting has approved the distribution of profits in the fiscal year. Any additional dividends approved by our shareholders become due on the date set by our shareholders or our board of directors.
Accrued dividends that corporations fail to pay or make available to their shareholders within certain periods are to be adjusted from the date on which those dividends became due and that of actual payment. Overdue dividends will accrue yearly interest at established rates over the same period.
Dividends and other cash benefits unclaimed by shareholders after five years from the date on which they became due will become the property of the Chilean Fire Department.
We have only one class of shares and there are therefore no preferences or limitations on the voting rights of shareholders. Each of our shareholders is entitled to one vote per share. In annual shareholders’ meetings, resolutions are made by a simple majority of those present, provided legal quorums are met. A special or extraordinary meeting generally requires an absolute majority, in other words, 50% plus one of the shares entitled to vote; however, the Chilean Corporations Act provides that in order to carry certain motions, a two-thirds majority of the outstanding voting stock is necessary.
Our directors are elected every three years and their terms are not staggered. Our shareholders may accumulate their votes in favor of just one person or distribute their votes to more than one person. In addition, by unanimous agreement of our shareholders present and entitled to vote, the vote may be omitted and the election made by acclamation.
In the event of liquidation, the Chilean Corporations Act provides that corporations may carry out distributions to shareholders on account of a reimbursement of capital only after the payment of corporate indebtedness.
There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to us, nor are there any liabilities to our shareholders relating to future capital calls by us.
Under Chilean law, certain provisions affect any existing or prospective holder of securities as a result of the shareholder owning a substantial number of shares. The Chilean Securities Market Law, establishes that (a) any person who, directly or indirectly, owns 10% or more of the subscribed capital of an open-stock corporation (the “majority shareholders”) or that, as a consequence of an acquisition of shares, attains such percentage, and (b) all directors, liquidators, principal executive officers, administrators and managers of such corporations, regardless of the number of shares they possess, either directly or indirectly, must report any purchase or sale of shares to the SVS and to each of the stock exchanges in Chile where such corporation has securities listed, the day immediately following the execution of the transaction, through the technological means authorized by the SVS. This obligation shall also apply to the acquisition or sale of contracts or securities, the price or result of which is dependent upon or is conditioned on, in whole or in a relevant part, the fluctuation or evolution of the price of such shares. In addition, majority shareholders must inform the SVS and the stock exchanges with respect to whether the purchase is aimed at acquiring control of the corporation or just as a financial investment.
102
The Chilean Securities Market Law also provides that when one or more persons intend to take over a corporation subject to oversight by the SVS, they must give prior public notice. This notice must include the price to be offered per share and the conditions of the proposed transaction, including the expected manner of acquiring the shares.
Finally, Chapter XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law was enacted on December 20, 2000, to ensure that controlling shareholders share with minority shareholders the benefits of a change of control, by requiring that certain share acquisitions be made pursuant to a tender offer.
Article 199 bis of the Chilean Securities Market Law extends the obligation to make a tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares to any person, or group of persons with a joint performance agreement, that, as a consequence of the acquisition of shares, becomes the owner of two-thirds or more of the issued shares with voting rights of a corporation. Such tender offer must be effected within 30 days from the date of such acquisition.
The Chilean Corporations Act provides shareholders with preemptive rights. The Act requires that options to purchase stock representing capital increases in corporations and debentures duly convertible into stock of the issuing corporation, or any other securities extending future rights over such stock, must be offered preferably, at least once, to existing shareholders, in proportion to the number of shares owned by them. A corporation must distribute any bonus stock in the same manner.
The Chilean Corporations Act also provides shareholders with the right to withdraw from a corporation in certain situations. Unless there is an ongoing bankruptcy proceeding, if a shareholders’ meeting approves any of the following matters, dissenting shareholders will be automatically entitled to withdraw from the corporation upon payment by the corporation of the market value of their shares:
·our transformation into a different type of legal entity;
·our merger with and/or into another company;
·the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets, whether or not liabilities are also transferred, to be determined according to the balance sheet of the previous fiscal year, or the proposal or amendment of any business plan that contemplates the transfer of assets exceeding said percentage; the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets of a subsidiary, which represents at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of shares which results in the parent company losing its status as controller;
·�� the granting of real or personal guarantees to secure third-party obligations exceeding 50% of the corporate assets, except when the third party is a subsidiary of the company (in which case approval of the board of directors will suffice);
·the creation of preferences for a series of shares or the increase, extension or reduction in the already existing ones. In this case, only dissenting shareholders of the affected series shall have the right to withdraw;
·curing certain formal defects in the corporate charter which otherwise would render it null and void or any modification of its bylaws that should grant this right; and
·other cases provided for by statute or in our bylaws, if any.
· | our transformation into a different type of legal entity; |
· | our merger with and/or into another company; |
· | the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets, whether or not liabilities are also transferred, to be determined according to the balance sheet of the previous fiscal year, or the proposal or amendment of any business plan that contemplates the transfer of assets exceeding said percentage; the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets of a subsidiary, which represents at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of shares which results in the parent company losing its status as controller; |
· | the granting of real or personal guarantees to secure third-party obligations exceeding 50% of the corporate assets, except when the third party is a subsidiary of the company (in which case approval of the board of directors will suffice); |

· | curing certain formal defects in the corporate charter which otherwise would render it null and void or any modification of its bylaws that should grant this right; and |
· | other cases provided for by statute or in our bylaws, if any. |
In addition, shareholders may withdraw if a person becomes the owner of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of the corporation as a consequence of a share acquisition and such person does not make a tender offer for the remaining shares within 30 days from the date of such acquisition.
Minority shareholders are also granted the right to withdraw when the controlling shareholder acquires more than 95% of the shares of an open-stock corporation.
Our bylaws do not provide for additional circumstances under which shareholders may withdraw.
103
Action necessary to change the rights of holders of stock.stock. The rights of stockholders are established by law and pursuant to the bylaws of a corporation. For certain modifications of shareholders’ rights, the law requires a special majority, such as the creation, increase, extension, reduction or suppression of preferred stock, which may be adopted only with the consent of at least two-thirds of the affected series. Consequently any other impairment of rights not specifically regulated needs only an absolute majority (more than 50%) of the stock entitled to vote. However, the waiver of the shareholders’ right to receive no less than 30% of the net profits accrued in any fiscal year (the “minimum dividend”) requires the unanimous vote of all stockholders. The above notwithstanding, no decision of the shareholders’ meeting can deprive a shareholder of any part of the stock that he/she owns.
Our bylaws do not contemplate additional conditions in connection with matters described in this subsection.
Shareholders’ meetings.meetings. Our annual shareholders' meetings are to be held during the first four months of each year. During the meetings, determinations are made relating to particular matters, which matters may or may not be specifically indicated in the summons for such meeting.
The quorum for a shareholders' meeting is established by the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing at least an absolute majority of our issued voting stock; if a quorum is not present at the first meeting, the meeting can be reconvened and upon the meeting being reconvened, shareholders present at the reconvened meeting are deemed to constitute a quorum regardless of the percentage of the voting stock represented. In that case, decisions will be made by the absolute majority of stock with voting rights present or otherwise represented. The following matters are specifically reserved for annual meetings:
· | review of our state of affairs and of the reports of external auditors, and the approval or rejection of the annual report, balance sheet, financial statements and records submitted by our officers or liquidators; |
· | distribution of profits of the respective fiscal year, including the distribution of dividends; |
· | election or revocation of regular and alternate board members, liquidators and external auditors; and |
·distribution of profits of the respective fiscal year, including the distribution of dividends;
·election or revocation of regular and alternate board members, liquidators and external auditors; and
· | determination of the remuneration of the board members, directors committee remuneration and budget, designation of the newspaper where summons for meetings shall be published and, in general, any other matter to be dealt with by the annual meeting being of corporate interest and not specifically reserved to extraordinary shareholders' meetings. |
Extraordinary shareholders' meetings may be held at any time, when required by corporate necessity. During extraordinary meetings, determinations are made relating to any matter which the law or the Company's bylaws reserve for consideration by such extraordinary meetings, which matters shall be expressly set forth in the relevant summons. When in an extraordinary shareholders' meeting determinations relating to matters specifically reserved to annual meetings must be made, the operation and decisions of such extraordinary meeting will follow the requirements applicable to annual meetings. The following matters, are specifically reserved for extraordinary meetings:
·dissolution of the corporation;
·transformation, merger or spin-off of the corporation and amendments to its bylaws;
·issuance of bonds or debentures convertible into stock;

104
·guarantees of third parties' obligations, except when these third parties are subsidiary companies (in which case approval of the board of directors will suffice).
· | dissolution of the corporation; |
· | transformation, merger or spin-off of the corporation and amendments to its bylaws; |
· | issuance of bonds or debentures convertible into stock; |
· | the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets, whether or not liabilities are also transferred, to be determined according to the balance sheet of the previous fiscal year, or the proposal or amendment of any business plan that contemplates the transfer of assets exceeding said percentage, the disposition of 50% or more of the corporate assets of a subsidiary, which represent at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of shares which results in the parent company losing its status of controlling shareholder; and |
· | guarantees of third parties' obligations, except when these third parties are subsidiary companies (in which case approval of the board of directors will suffice). |
In addition to the above, annual and extraordinary shareholders' meetings must be called by the board of directors in the following circumstances:
·when requested by shareholders representing at least 10% of issued stock with voting rights; and
·when required by the SVS, notwithstanding its right to call such meeting directly.
· | when requested by shareholders representing at least 10% of issued stock with voting rights regarding closed corporations; and |
· | when required by the SVS, notwithstanding its right to call such meeting directly. |

Directors and officers other than shareholders may participate in shareholders' meetings with the right to be heard.
Shareholders may be represented at meetings by other individuals, regardless of whether or not those persons are shareholders themselves. A proxy must be conferred in writing, and for the total number of shares held by the shareholder and entitled to vote in accordance with the previous paragraph.
Limitations on the right to own securities.securities. The right to own any kind of property is guaranteed by the Chilean Constitution, and the Chilean Corporations Act does not contain any general limitation regarding the right to own securities. There are, however, certain limitations on the right of foreigners to own securities of Chilean corporations, but only for certain special types of companies. We are not affected by these limitations, and our bylaws do not contain limitations or restrictions in this regard.
Article 14 of the Chilean Corporations Act forbids publicopen stock corporations from including in their bylaws any provisions restricting the free transferability of stock. However, shareholders may enter into a private agreement on this matter, but, in order for these agreements to be effective against the company and third parties, they must be recorded by the corporation and thus made available to any interested third parties. See “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees–Directors and Senior Management.”Management”.
Takeover defenses.Our bylaws do not contain any provisions that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuringcorporaterestructuring involving us (or any of our subsidiaries). See “Item 10.B. Memorandum and Articles of Association – rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares”.
Ownership threshold.threshold. Our bylaws do not contain any ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. For a description of the ownership thresholds mandated by Chilean law, see “– Rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares” above. See “Item 10.B. Memorandum and Articles of Association – rights, preferences and restrictions regarding shares”.
Our bylaws do not impose any conditions that are more stringent than those required by law for effecting changes in our capital.
C. Material Contracts
Not applicable.
D. Exchange Controls
General Legislation and Regulations. The Central Bank of Chile is responsible for, among other things, monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile. See “Item 3. Key Information – Selected Financial Data – Exchange Rates.”Rates”. Foreign investments can be registered with the ForeignInvestment Committee under Decree Law No. 600, guaranteeing the investor access to the Formal Exchange Market, or with the Central Bank of Chile under Chapter XIV of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations, (this regulationwhich regulates foreign exchange transactions, including access to the Formal Exchange Market).Market. Pursuant to Law N°20,780, dated September 29, 2014, abrogated Decreeon June 25, 2015 Law No. 600, effective January 1, 2016, provided that a new institutional framework for foreign investments is in effect on that date. Otherwise,N° 20,848 was enacted, replacing Decree Law N° 600 shall, by operation of law, remain in force until the date1974 and establishing a new framework is passedstatute for direct foreign investments (henceforth, the "New Statute for Foreign Investment"). The New Statute for Foreign Direct Investments went into effect as of January 1, 2016. Foreign investors in companies that maintain a valid foreign investment agreement with the Government of Chile pursuant to the regulations of Decree Law N° 600 will fully retain the rights and obligations set forth in full force and effect.said agreements, provided that the agreements were executed prior to January 1, 2016. The New Statute for Foreign Investment does not grant investors eligibility for a tax invariability regime, which was granted to them by Decree Law N° 600. However, a transitory 4 four-year system has been established, under which foreign investors may request foreign investment authorizations via the execution of agreements with the Government of Chile, albeit subject to a total income tax rate of 44.5%.
105
Effective April 19, 2001, the Central Bank of Chile abrogated the then existing Chapter XXVI of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations (“Chapter XXVI”), which addressed issuance of ADSs by a Chilean company, and issued an entirely new set of Foreign Exchange Regulations (the “April 19th19th Regulations”), virtually eliminating all the restrictions and limitations that had been in force up to that date. The April 19th19th Regulations were based upon the general principle that foreign exchange transactions can be made freely in Chile by any person, notwithstanding the power conferred by law to the Central Bank of Chile of imposing certain restrictions and limitations to such transactions.
With the issuance of the April 19th19th Regulations, the approval by the Central Bank of Chile required for access to the Formal Exchange Market was replaced with the requirement of reporting of the relevant transactions to the Central Bank of Chile. However, some foreign exchange transactions, notably foreign loans, capital investment or deposits, continued to be subject to the requirement of being effected through the Formal Exchange Market. The April 19th19th Regulations reduced the time needed to effect foreign exchange transactions by foreign investors in Chile.
According to the April 19th19th Regulations, foreign exchange transactions performed before April 19, 2001, remained subject to the regulations in effect at the time of the transactions (i.e. Chapter XXVI), unless the interested parties elected the applicability of the April 19th Regulations, thereby expressly waiving the applicability of the regulations in force at the time of the execution of the respective transaction.
On January 23, 2002, the Central Bank of Chile issued an entirely new set of Foreign Exchange Regulations, effective March 1, 2002, replacing the April 19th19th Regulations (the “New Rules”). The New Rules preserve the general principle established in the April 19th19th Regulations of freedom in foreign exchange transactions, simplified proceduressimplifiedprocedures to reduce the time needed to materialize foreign exchange transactions by foreign investors in Chile, and introduced several new provisions.
Pursuant to the New Rules, Chilean entities are allowed, under Chapter XIV, which governs credits, deposits, investments and capital contribution from abroad, to: (i) dispose of such foreign currency allocated abroad, executing any of the transactions contemplated in Chapter XIV, without the need of delivering it into Chile, subject to the obligation of reporting said transaction to the Central Bank of Chile; and (ii) capitalize any liability expressed in foreign currency and acquired abroad.
According to the New Rules, section 7 of Chapter XIV, duly in force, states that foreign exchange transactions made pursuant to Chapter XIV, executed before April 19, 2001, were to continue to be subject to the regulations in effect at the time of the transactions, unless the interested parties elect the applicability of the New Rules, expressly waiving the applicability of the provisions which would otherwise govern them.
In connection with our initial public offering of ADSs, we entered into a foreign investment contract (the “Foreign Investment Contract”) with the Chilean Central Bank and the Depositary, pursuant to Article 47 of the Central Bank Act and former Chapter XXVI. Absent the Foreign Investment Contract, under Chilean exchange controls in force until April 19, 2001, investors would not have been granted access to the Formal Exchange Market for the purpose of converting Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars and repatriating from Chile amounts received in respect of, among other things, deposited Shares or Shares withdrawn from deposit on surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying Shares and any rights with respect thereto).
106
Notwithstanding the April 19th19th Regulations and the New Rules, Chapter XXVI remained in effect with respect to our ADR facility. On March 3, 2014, we, the Central Bank of Chile and the Depositary executed an agreement that terminated the Foreign Investment Contract. Consequently, the special exchange regime established under Chapter XXVI is no longer applicable. The Deposit Agreement, therefore, and the Company’s ADR program became subject to the exchange regulations of general applicability of Chapter XIV or such new regulations that may be issued in the future.
The ADS facility is currently governed by Chapter XIV on “Regulations applicable to Credits, Deposits, Investments and Capital Contributions from Abroad”. According to Chapter XIV number 2.3, the establishment of an ADS facility is regarded as an ordinary foreign investment, subject to the above mentioned limitations, and it is not necessary to seek the Central Bank’s prior approval in order to establish an ADS facility. The establishment of an ADS facility only requires that the Central Bank be informed of the transaction, and that the transactions thereunder be conducted through the Formal Exchange Market.
Investment in Our Shares and ADSs
Investments made in shares of our common stock are subject to the following requirements:
-According to Chapter XIV of the Central Bank Foreign Exchange Regulations Information Procedures and Forms Manual (hereinafter the “Manual”), any foreign investor acquiring shares of our common stock who brought funds into Chile for that purpose must bring those funds through an entity participating in the Formal Exchange Market;

E. Taxation
Chilean Tax Considerations
The following discussion is based on certain Chilean income tax laws presently in effect, including Rulings N°324 of January 29, 1990, and N°3,708 of October 1, 1999 of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service and other applicable regulations and rulings. The discussion summarizes the principal Chilean income tax consequences of an investment in the ADSs or shares of common stock by an individual who is not domiciled in or a resident of Chile or a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile and does not have a permanent establishment located in Chile which we refer to as a foreign holder. For purposes of Chilean law, an individual holder is a resident of Chile if he or she has resided in Chile for more than six consecutive months in one calendar year or for a total of more than six months, whether consecutive or not, in two consecutive tax years. An individual holder is domiciled in Chile if he or she resides in Chile with the purpose of staying in Chile (such purpose to be evidenced by circumstances such as the acceptance of employment within Chile or the relocation of his or her family to Chile). This discussion is not intended as tax advice to any particular investor, which can be rendered only in light of that investor’s particular tax situation. Neither is it intended to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of shares or ADSs and does address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to specific holders in light of their particular circumstances. Holders of shares and ADSs are advised to consult their own tax advisors concerning the Chilean or other tax consequences relating to the ownership of shares or ADSs.
Under Chilean law, provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign holders, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected may be amended only by another statute. In addition, the Chilean tax authorities issue rulings and regulations of either general or specific application interpreting the provisions of Chilean tax law. Chilean taxes may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings and regulations,but Chilean tax authorities may change said rulings and regulations prospectively. There is noa general income tax treaty in force betweensigned by Chile and the United States.
108States, but it is not in force (Congress approval is required).
Cash dividends and Other Distributions. Cash dividends paid by us with respect to the ADSs or shares of common stock held by a foreign holder will be subject to a 35.0% withholding tax, which is withheld and paid over by us (the “Chilean Withholding Tax”). A credit against the Chilean Withholding Tax is available based on the level of corporate income tax, or first category tax, actually paid by us on the taxable income to which the dividend is imputed; however, this credit does not reduce the Chilean Withholding Tax on a one-for-one basis because it also increases the base on which the Chilean Withholding Tax is imposed. In addition, distribution of book income in excess of retained taxable income is subject to the Chilean Withholding Tax, but such distribution isdoes not eligible for thehave a related credit. Under modifications incorporated to the Chilean income tax law by Act N°20,780 enacted on September 29, 2014, and Act. N°20,899 enacted on February 1st, 2016, for purposes of determining the level of the first category tax that has been paid by us, dividends generally are assumed to have been paid out of our oldest retained taxable profits. Enacted onSeptember 29, 2014, Act No. 20,780 providesThose modifications also provide for the "Partially Integrated System"System” for corporate tax, implementing a gradual increase in the First Category Income tax rate, going from 20% to 21% for the 2014 business year, to 22.5% for the 2015 business year, to 24% for the 2016 business year, to 25.5% for the 2017 business year and to 27% starting the 2018 business year. Whether the first category tax is imposed or not, the effective overall combined rate of Chilean taxes imposed with respect to our distributed profits would be 35.0%. Nevertheless, in the case that the retained taxable profits or exempted profits as of December 31 of the year preceding a dividend are not sufficient to attribute to such dividend, we will make a withholding of 35.0% of the amount that exceeds those retained taxable or exempted profits. In case such withholding is determined to be excessive before the end of the year, there will be rights to file for the reimbursement of the excess withholding.
The foregoing tax consequences apply to cash dividends paid by us. Dividend distributions made in property (other than shares of common stock) will be subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends.
Capital Gains. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition by a foreign holder of ADSs (or ADRs evidencing ADSs) will not be subject to Chilean taxation, provided that such disposition occurs outside Chile or that it is performed under the rules of Title XXIV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, as amended by Law N°19,601, dated January 18, 1999. The deposit and withdrawal of shares of common stock in exchange for ADRs will not be subject to any Chilean taxes.taxes, according to Rulings N°1,705 of May 15, 2006 and N°2,144 of October 3, 2013.
GainUntil December 31, 2016, gain recognized on a sale or exchange of shares of common stock (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of ADSs representing such shares of common stock) by a foreign holder will be subject to both the first category tax and the Chilean Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter) if (1) the foreign holder has held such shares of common stock for less than one year since exchanging ADSs for the shares of common stock,Common Stock, (2) the foreign holder acquired and disposed of the shares of common stock in the ordinary course of its business or as a regular trader of stock or (3) the sale is made to a company in which the foreign holder holds an interest (10.0% or more of the shares in the case of open stock corporations). In all other cases, gain on the disposition of shares of common stock will be subject only to the first category tax levied as a sole tax. However, if it is impossible to determine the taxable capital gain, a 5.0% withholding will be imposed on the total amount to be remitted abroad without any deductions as a provisional payment of the total tax due.
From January 1, 2017, the taxation with the alternative regime of first category as a sole tax on gains recognized on a sale or exchange of shares of common stock by a foreign holder will no longer be available. Consequently, gains obtained from this operations would be subject to both the first category tax and the Chilean Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter), according to new article 17 N° 8 of the Chilean Income Tax Law, effective as of January 1,2017.
The tax basis of shares of common stock received in exchange for ADSs will be the acquisition value of such shares. The valuation procedure set forth in the deposit agreement, which has been approvedanalyzed by the Chilean Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Ruling Nº 324 of 1990, values shares of common stock that are being exchanged at the highest price at which they trade on the Santiago Stock Exchange on the date of the exchange, generally will determine the acquisition value for this purpose. Consequently, the conversion of ADSsofADSs into shares of common stock and sale of such shares of common stock for the value established under the deposit agreement will not generate a capital gain subject to taxation in Chile. Ruling N° 324 of 1990 specifically analyzes the tax regime applicable to share transactions held with foreign investors through ADRs.
In the case where the sale of the shares is made on a day that is different from the date in which the exchange is recorded, capital gains subject to taxation in Chile may be generated. However,following Ruling N° 3708 of 1999 of the Chilean Internal Revenue Service, we will include in the deposit agreement a provision whereby the capital gain that may be generated if the exchange date is different from the date in which the shares received in exchange for ADSs are sold, will not be subject to taxation. Such provision states that in the event that the exchanged shares are sold by the ADS holders in a Chilean stock exchange on the same day in which the exchange is recorded in the shareholders’ registry of the issuer or within two business days prior to the date on which the sale is recorded in the shareholders’ registry, the acquisition price of such exchanged shares shall be the price registered in the invoice issued by the stock broker that participated in the sale transaction.
109
The distribution and exercise of preemptive rights relating to the shares of common stock will not be subject to Chilean taxation. Amounts received for the assignment of preemptive rights relating to the shares will be subject to both the first category tax and the Chilean Withholding Tax (the former being creditable against the latter to the extent described above).
Given the amendments made to the Chilean Tax Legislation which is fully enforced from 2017, please bear in mind that the tax treatment just mentioned regarding the ADR could be subject to future modifications, considering that the current tax treatment of ADR is supported in Chilean Internal Revenue Service rulings mentioned above, taking into account the new regulation of the taxation in indirect transfer of assets.
The Chilean Internal Revenue Service has not enacted any rule nor issued any ruling about the applicability of the norms explained below (referred to as Laws Nº 19,738 and Nº 19,768) to the foreign holders of ADRs.
To the extent that our shares are actively traded on a Chilean stock exchange, foreign institutional investors who acquire our shares may benefit from a tax exemption included in an amendment to the Chilean Income Tax Law, Law Nº 19,738 published on June 19, 2001.2001, as amended by Law Nº 20,448 published on August 13, 2010. The amendment established an exemption for the payment of income tax by foreign institutional investors, such as mutual funds, pension funds and others, that obtain capital gains in the sales through a Chilean stock exchange, a tender offer or any other system authorized by the SVS, of shares of publicly traded corporations that are significantly traded in stock exchanges.
A foreign institutional investor is an entity that is either:
In order to be entitled to the exemption, foreign institutional investors, during the time in which they operate in Chile must:
It is important to take into account that Article 106 of the Chilean Income Tax Law that contains the mentioned exemption was abrogated by Act N° 20,712 enacted on December 24, 2013. Transitional article 5 of Act N° 20,712 indicate that the funds regulated by Law N° 18,657 will maintain the applicable tax regime of article 106, allowing the distribution of profits established in article 106, as long as they do not transform into one of the funds created by Act. No 20,712.
110In addition, Transitory article 9 of Act N° 20,712 allows institutional foreign investors who have acquired securities as referred to in article 107 of the Income Tax Law prior to January 1, 2017, to enjoy, in the subsequent disposal of these securities, the exemption established in article 106, provided that during its operation in the country and the moment of acquisition and disposal of said securities comply with the requirements established in article 106.
Pursuant to the enacted amendment to the Chilean Income Tax Law published on November 7, 2001 (Law N° 19,768) as amended by Law Nº 19,801 published on April 25, 2002, as amended by Law Nº 20,448 published on August 13, 2010, the sale and disposition of shares of Chilean public corporations which are actively traded on a Chilean stock exchange is not levied by any Chilean tax on capital gains if the sale or disposition was made:
Other Chilean Taxes. No Chilean inheritance, gift or succession taxes apply to the transfer or disposition of the ADSs by a foreign holder but such taxes generally will apply to the transfer at death or by a gift of shares of common stock by a foreign holder. No Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties apply to foreign holders of ADSs or shares of common stock.
Withholding Tax Certificates. Upon request, we will provide to foreign holders appropriate documentation evidencing the payment of the Chilean Withholding Tax .Tax. We will also inform when the withholding was excessive in order to allow the filing for the reimbursement of taxes.
United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion summarizes the principal U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Stock or ADSs by a U.S. holder (as defined below) holding such Common Stock or ADSs as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations, administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. This summary does not describe any implications under state, local or non-U.S. tax law, or any aspect of U.S. federal tax law (such as the estate tax, gift tax, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on net investment income) other than U.S. federal income taxation.
This summary does not purport to address all the material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to the holders of the Common Stock or ADSs, and does not take into accounttheaccount the specific circumstances of any particular investors, some of which (such as tax-exempt entities, banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, regulated investment companies, real-estate investment trusts, partnerships and other pass-through entities, U.S. expatriates, investors that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of our voting stock, investors that hold the Common Stock or ADSs as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or constructive sale transaction or other integrated transaction and persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar) may be subject to special tax rules.
111
As used below, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of Common Stock or ADSs that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
·an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
· | an individual citizen or resident of the United States; | |
· | a corporation (or an entity taxable as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; | |
· | an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or | |
· | a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. |
·an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
·a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
If a partnership or other entity taxable as a partnership holds Common Stock or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of partnerships holding Common Stock or ADSs should consult their tax advisors.
In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders of American Depositary ReceiptsADRs evidencing ADSs will be treated as the beneficial owners of the Common Stock represented by those ADSs.
Taxation of Distributions
Since January 1st, 2017, we are subject to Chile’s Partially Integrated System, which may affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment of distributions on our Common Stock or ADSs. See “Item 10, Additional Information—E. Taxation—Chilean Tax Considerations—Cash dividends and Other Distributions” above. In general, distributions with respect to the Common Stock or ADSs will, to the extent made from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a distribution exceeds the amount of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as so determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, the excess will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Common Stock or ADSs, and thereafter as capital gain. We do not intend to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles and, unless and until such calculations are made, U.S. holders should assume alldistributions are made out of earnings and profits and constitute dividend income. As used below, the term “dividend” means a distribution that constitutes a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The gross amount of any dividends (including amounts withheld in respect of Chilean taxes) paid with respect to the Common Stock or ADSs generally will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations. Dividends paid in Chilean currency will be included in the gross income of a U.S. holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividends are actually or constructively received by the U.S. holder, or in the case of dividends received in respect of ADSs, on the date the dividends are actually or constructively received by thedepositarythe depositary or its agent, whether or not converted into U.S. dollars. A U.S. holder will have a tax basis in any distributed Chilean currency equal to its U.S. dollar amount on the date of receipt by the U.S. holder or disposition, as the case may be, and any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent disposition of such Chilean currency generally will be foreign currency gain or loss that is treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss. If dividends paid in Chilean currency are converted into U.S. dollars on the day they are received by the U.S. holder, the depositary or its agent, as the case may be, U.S. holders generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of any foreign currency gain or loss if any Chilean currency received by the U.S. holder or the depositary or its agent is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt.
112
Under current law, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends by an individual with respect to the ADSs will be subject to taxation at a maximumreduced rate of 20% if the dividends represent “qualified dividend income.”income”. Dividends paid on the ADSs will be treated as qualified dividend income if (i) the ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (ii) the U.S. holder meets the holding period requirement for the ADSs (generally more than 60 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date), and (iii) we were not in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”). The ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and should qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed. However, no assurances can be given that the ADSs will be or remain readily tradable. Based on our audited financial statements as well as relevant market and shareholder data, we believe that we were not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 20142016 taxable year. In addition, based on our audited financial statements and current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant market and shareholder data, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 20152017 taxable year. Because these determinations are based on the nature of our income and assets from time to time, and involve the application of complex tax rules, no assurances can be provided that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current (or any past or future) tax year.
Based on existing guidance, it is not entirely clear whether dividends received with respect to the shares of Common Stock (to the extent not represented by ADSs) will be treated as qualified dividend income, because the Common Stock are not themselves listed on a U.S. exchange. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department has announced its intention to promulgate rules pursuant to which holders of ADSs or preferred stock and intermediaries through whom such securities are held will be permitted to rely on certifications from issuers to establish that dividends are treated as qualified dividends. Because such procedures have not yet been issued, we are not certain that we will be able to comply with them. U.S. Holders of ADSs and Common Stock should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in the light of their own particular circumstances.
Dividends paid by us generally will constitute foreign source “passive category” income and will be subject to various other limitations for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. federal income tax law, Chilean income tax imposed or withheld on such dividends, ifreduced by the credit for any first category tax, as described above under “Item 10, Additional Information—E. Taxation—Chilean Tax Considerations—Cash dividends and Other Distributions”, generally will be treated as a foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (or at a U.S. holder’s election if it does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for any foreign income taxes paid during the taxable year, all foreign income taxes paid may instead be deducted in computing such U.S. holder’s taxable income). In general, special rules will apply to the calculation of foreign tax credits in respect of dividend income that is subject to preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax.
U.S. holders should be aware that the IRS has expressed concern that parties to whom ADSs are released may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits by U.S. holders of ADSs. Accordingly, the discussion above regarding the creditability of Chilean income tax on dividends could be affected by future actions that may be taken by the IRS. The rules with respect to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex, and U.S. holders of Common Stock or ADSs areurgedare urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
113
Taxation of Capital Gains
Deposits and withdrawals of Common Stock by U.S. holders in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
In general, gain or loss, if any, realized by a U.S. holder upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Common Stock or ADSs will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Common Stock or ADSs. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or other taxable disposition the Common Stock or ADSs have been held for more than one year. Under current U.S. federal income tax law, net long-term capital gain of certain U.S. holders (including individuals) is eligible for taxation at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations under the Code.
Gain, if any, realized by a U.S. holder on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Common Stock or ADSs generally will be treated as U.S. source gain for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, if a Chilean income tax is imposed on the sale or disposition of Common Stock, a U.S. holder that does not receive sufficient foreign source income from other sources may not be able to derive effective U.S. foreign tax credit benefits in respect of such Chilean income tax. Alternatively, a U.S. holder may take a deduction for all foreign income taxes paid during the taxable year if it does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for any foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules to their investment in, and disposition of, Common Stock or ADSs.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
In general, a foreign corporation is a PFIC with respect to a U.S. holder if, for any taxable year in which the U.S. holder holds stock in the foreign corporation, at least 75% of the foreign corporation’s gross income is passive income or at least 50% of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties and gains from the disposition of investment assets (subject to various exceptions). Based upon our current and projected income, assets and activities, we do not expect the Common Stock or ADSs to be considered shares of a PFIC for our current fiscal year or for future fiscal years. However, because the determination of whether the Common Stock or ADSs constitute shares of a PFIC will be based upon the composition of our income, assets and the nature of our business, as well as the income, assets and business of entities in which we hold at least a 25% interest, from time to time, and because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules, there can be no assurance that the Common Stock or ADSs will not be considered shares of a PFIC for any fiscal year. If the Common Stock or ADSs were shares of a PFIC for any fiscal year, U.S. holders (including certain indirect U.S. holders) may be subject to adverse tax consequences, including the possible imposition of an interest charge on gains or “excess distributions” allocable to prior years in the U.S. holder’s holding period during which we were determined to be a PFIC.PFIC, unless such U.S. holder makes an election to be taxed currently on its pro rata portion of our income, whether or not such income is distributed in the form of dividends, or otherwise makes a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the Common Stock or ADSs as permitted by the Code. If we are deemed to be a PFIC for a taxable year, dividends on our Common Stock or ADSs would not be “qualified dividend income” eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income taxation.
A U.S. Holder who owns Common Stock or ADSs during any taxable year that we are a PFIC in excess of certainde minimusminimis amounts and fails to qualify for certain other exemptions would be required to file IRS Form 8621. In addition, under certain circumstances, the temporary regulations also require a “United States person” (as such term is defined under the Code) that owns an interest in a PFIC as an indirect shareholder through one or more United States persons to file Form 8621 for any taxable year during which such indirect shareholder is treatedistreated as receiving an excess distribution in connection with the ownership or disposition of such interest, or reports income pursuant to mark-to-market election. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to the Common Stock or ADSs.
U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
A U.S. holder of Common Stock or ADSs may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding with respect to certain payments to such U.S. holder,such as dividends paid by our company or the proceeds of a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Common Stock or ADSs, unless such U.S. holder (i) is an exempt recipient and demonstrates this fact when so required, or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, provides a correct taxpayer identification number, certifies that it is a U.S. person and that it is not subject to backup withholding, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under these rules will be creditable against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the requisite information is timely furnished to the IRS.

ITEM 11: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The following discussion about our risk management activities includes “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
We face primary market risk exposures in three categories: interest rate fluctuations, exchange rate fluctuations and commodity price fluctuations. We periodically review our exposure to the three principal sources of risk described above and determine at our senior-management level how to minimize the impact on our operations of commodity price, foreign exchange and interest rate changes. As part of this review process, we periodically evaluate opportunities to enter into hedging mechanisms to mitigate such risks.
The market risk sensitive instruments referred to below are entered into only for purposes of hedging our risks and are not used for trading purposes.
Qualitative Information About Market Risk
Interest Rate SensitivityRisk
As of December 31, 2014,2016, we had a total of CLP13,691 10,143 million in debt indexed to LIBORvariable interest rates (CLP 11,84020,207 million as of December 31, 2013)2015). Consequently, as of December 31, 2014,2016, our financing structure consisted (without taking into account the cross currency interest rate swaps and cross interest rate swaps effects) of 7% (5% in 2013)6% (12% as of December 31, 2015) of debt with variable interest rates, and 93% (95% in 2013)94% (88% as of December 31, 2015) of debt with fixed interest rates.
To manage the interest rate risk, we have an interest rate administration policy that intends to reduce the volatility of our financial expenses, and to maintain an ideal percentage of our debt in fixed rate instruments. The financial position is mainly set by the use of short-term and long-term debt, as well as derivative instruments such as cross-currencycross currency interest rate swaps and cross interest rate swaps.
As of December 31, 2014,2016, after considering the effect of cross currency interest ratesrate swaps and currencycross interest rate swaps, 100% (100%97% (97% in 2013)2015) of our long-term debt had fixed interest rates.
The terms and conditions of the Company’s obligations as of December 31, 2014,2016, including exchange rates, interest rates, maturities and effective interest rates are detailed in Note 2726 to our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.
Commodity and Raw Material Price Sensitivity
The principal commodity price sensitivity faced by us relate to fluctuations in: 1) prices and supply of barley, malt and malt,cans, which we use for the production of beer, 2) prices of concentrates, sugar and plastic resin, which we use for the production and packaging of soft drinks, and 3) prices of bulk wine and grapes, which we use for the manufacturing of wine and spirits.
Barley, malt and malt.cans. In Chile, we obtain our supply of barley and malt from local producers and in the international market. Long-term supply agreements are entered into with local producers, where the barley price is set annually according to the market price, which is used to determine the malt price as per the agreements’ algorithms. The purchases and commitments expose the Company to risk regarding the fluctuation of commodity prices.
During 2014,2016, we purchased 37,31561,753 tons of malt (32,203(53,890 tons in 2013)2015) and 52,72013,914 tons of barley (54,162(46,620 tons in 2013)2015). CCU Argentina acquires malt only from local producers. Such raw materials represent approximately 7% (9% in 2015 and 12% (12% in 2013)2014) of the direct cost for the Chile Operating segment. See“Item
Of the cost of Chile Operating segment, the cost of cans represents approximately 15% of the direct cost (12% in 2015 and 12% in 2014). Meanwhile in the International Business Operating segment the cans cost represent approximately 34% of the direct cost of raw materials in 2016 (30% in 2015 and 20% in 2014). See “Item 4:Information on the Company – Business Overview – Raw Materials and other Supplies” We do not hedge these transactions. Rather, we negotiate yearly contracts with malt suppliers.
116
Concentrates, sugar and plastic resin.resin. The principal raw material used in the production of non-alcoholic beverages are concentrates, which are mainly acquired from licensees, sugar and plastic resin for the manufacturing of plastic bottles and containers. We generally purchase our sugar requirements from Empresas Iansa S.A., the sole producer of sugar in Chile, as well as from imports. Plastic resin is also imported. The Company is exposed to price fluctuation risks with regards to these raw materials, which jointly represent 30% (29% in 2015 and 29% in 2014) of the direct cost for the Chile Operating segment. See “Item 4: Information on the Company – Business Overview – Raw Materials and other Supplies”. We do not hedge these transactions.
Grapes and wine.wine. The principal raw materials used by our wine subsidiary VSPT in the production of wine are its own harvested grape as well as purchased grapes and wine. VSPT obtains approximately 37%40% of the grapes used for export wines from its own vineyards, thereby reducing grape price volatility and ensuring quality consistency. Approximately 92%10% of the grape supply for the production of the wine sold in the domestic market is purchased from third parties.own vineyards. During 2014,2016, VSPT purchased 8%11% of the necessary grapes and wine on the basis of yearly contracts at fixed prices from third parties. Spot transactions for wine are executed from time to time depending on additional wine needs. During the last three years VSPT grapes and wine costs in Chile were in the amount of CLP23,682 million, CLP31,008 million and CLP30,586 million, respectively. See “Item 4: Information on the Company – Business Overview – Raw Materials and other Supplies.”Supplies”.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
We are exposed to exchange rate risks resulting from: a) our net exposure of foreign currency assets and liabilities, b) exports sales, c) the purchase of raw material, products and capital investments effected in foreign currencies, or indexed to such currencies, and d) the net investment of subsidiaries in Argentina.Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, of associated in Bolivia and of joint venture in Colombia. Our greatest exchange rate risk exposure is the variation of the Chilean peso as compared to the U.S. dollar, euro, Argentineargentine peso, Uruguayanuruguayan peso, paraguayan guaraní, bolivians and Paraguayan Guaraní.colombian peso.
As of December 31, 2014,2016, we maintained in Chile foreign currency liabilities amounting to CLP46,780CLP 49,694 million (CLP46,598(CLP 49,786 million in 2013)as of December 31, 2015), mostly denominated in U.S. dollars. Obligations with financial institutions and bonds in foreign currency (CLP19,838(CLP 6,352 million in 2014as of December 31, 2016 and CLP21,618CLP 16,626 million in 2013)as of December 31, 2015) represent 11% (9% in 2013)4% (10% as of December 31, 2015) of the total of such liabilities. The remaining 89% (91% in 2013)96% (90% as of December 31, 2015) is denominated mainly in inflation-indexed Chilean pesos. In addition, the Company maintains foreign currency assets for CLP57,086CLP 66,435 million (CLP47,369(CLP 72,888 million in 2013)as of December 31, 2015) that mainly correspond to exports in accounts receivable.
Regarding the Argentineforeign subsidiaries operations, the liability net exposure assets in U.S. dollars and other currencies amounted to CLP7,044CLP 3,806 million as of December 31, 2014 (CLP9,412 million in 2013).
Regarding the Uruguayan subsidiaries operations, the liability net exposure in U.S. dollars and other currencies amounted to CLP2,0162016 (CLP 1,368 million as of December 31, 2014 (CLP467 million in 2013)2015).
To protect the value of the foreign currency assets and liabilities net position of our Chilean operations, we enter into derivative agreements (currency forwards) to hedge against any variation in the Chilean peso as compared to other currencies.
As of December 31, 2014, our assets (liabilities)2016, net exposure in foreign currencies of our Chilean operations, after the use of derivative instruments, amounted to CLP2,588an asset of CLP 3,809 million (CLP1,069(liability of CLP 757 million in 2013)as of December 31, 2015).
In 2014,2016, of our total sales, 8% (8% in 2013)2015 and 2014) corresponded to export sales made in foreign currencies, mainly U.S. dollars, euros and pounds sterling, and of the total costs, 63% (54% in 2015 and 55% (57% in 2013)2014) correspond to raw material and product purchases in foreign currencies, or indexed to such currencies. We do not actively hedge the variations in the expected cash flows from such transactions.
117
On the other hand, we are exposed to exchange rate movements related to the conversion from Argentineargentine pesos, uruguayan pesos, paraguayan guaranis, bolivians and Uruguayancolombian pesos to Chileanchilean pesos in the income, assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries in Argentina.Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, associated in Bolivia and joint venture in Colombia. We do not actively hedge the risks related to this conversion at our subsidiaries, the effects of which are recorded in Equity.
As of December 31, 2014,2016, the net investment in our Argentine, Uruguayanforeign subsidiaries, associated and Paraguayan subsidiariesjoint ventures amounted to CLP90,605CLP 135,002 million, (CLP84,363CLP 8,249 million in 2013), CLP14,540 million (CLP8,815 million in 2013) and CLP 22,60935,449 million, (CLP11,255respectively (CLP 133,555 million, in 2013), respectively.CLP 6,628 million and CLP 18,719 million as of December 31, 2015).
Quantitative Information About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Most of our debt is at a fixed interest rate, so it is not mainly exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. As of December 31, 2014,2016, our interest-bearing debt amounted to CLP240,660CLP 160,490 million (see note 2726 to the consolidated financial statements), 94% of which was fixed debt and 6% of which was variable-rate debt.debt (without taking into account the cross currency interest rate swaps and cross interest rate swaps effects).

Exchange Rate Sensitivity
The major exchange rate risk faced by us is the variation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar.
A portion of our subsidiaries adjusted operating revenue andresults, assets and liabilities are in currencies that differ from our functional currency.currencies. However, since some of their operating revenues, costs and expenses are in the same currency, this can create a partial natural hedge. InFor the caseportion that is not naturally hedged of our subsidiary VSPT, occasionally there exist short-term timing differences related to invoicing and cash collection which can generate currency exposure. We have enteredoperations in Chile we enter into short-term U.S. dollar currency forward contractsderivative agreements (currency forwards) to mitigate this risk.any variation in the Chilean peso as compared to other currencies.

ITEM 15: Controls and Procedures
(a) Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014.2016. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014.2016.
Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods required and that such information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management, including our CEO and CFO, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting and has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20142016 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and, based on such criteria, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 20142016 our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
122
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20142016 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during 20142016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
(e) Whistle-blowing procedure. We have a whistle-blowing procedure which allows any employee of CCU, of its associates or any person, to communicate to a designated person questionable practices or activities that constitute a breach of accounting procedures, internal controls, audit matters and the Code of Business Conduct.

ITEM 16F: Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants
Pursuant to the Chilean Corporations Act, the Company is obliged to elect on an annual basis its principal accountant. The election takes place at the annual shareholders´ meeting. The audit committee and the directors committee independently submitted to the board of directors their proposal for the election of the principal accountant for fiscal year 2016. The board of directors´ at its meeting held on January 5, 2016 agreed to propose to the annual shareholders´ meeting of April 13, 2016 two candidates: KPMG Auditores Consultores Ltda (“KPMG”) was proposed in first place, and Pricewaterhouse Coopers Consultores Auditores y Compañía Limitada (“PwC Chile”), in second place. At the referred annual shareholders´ meeting held April 13, 2016, KPMG was elected as principal accountant for the fiscal year 2016. As a consequence, PwC Chile was dismissed as our independent registered public accounting firm on April 13, 2016. Such dismissal became effective upon completion by PwC Chile of its procedures on the filing of Form 20-F for the year endedDecember 31, 2015, which was filed on April 29, 2016. PwC Chile served as the company´s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years 2015 and 2014.
The reports of PwC Chile on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
Not applicable.During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the subsequent interim period through April 29, 2016 (the date PwC Chile´s dismissal became effective), there were no disagreements with PwC Chile on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC Chile would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the subsequent interim period through April 29, 2016, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F).
On June 21, 2016, prior to KPMG’s acceptance of appointment as principal accountant according to U.S. regulations, KPMG informed the Company that in the process of its standard client evaluation procedures it became aware of a matter than would not allow it to be independent with respect to CCU, and concluded that it would not be able to accept the appointment of principal accountant for the fiscal year 2016. The above-mentioned shareholders’ meeting had delegated to the board of directors the power to appoint PwC Chile to the extent KPMG was not able to provide services to the Company. Accordingly, the board of directors, at a meeting held on July 5, 2016, resolved to appoint PwC Chile as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2016, which engagement became effective on July 5, 2016.
During the period from April 13, 2016, the date of the shareholders’ election to appoint KPMG as principal accountant, until KPMG’s communication on June 21, 2016, KPMG was not engaged to, and did not provide, any services.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the subsequent interim period through April 29, 2016, the date PwC Chile’s dismissal became effective, the registrant had not consulted with PwC Chile regarding any matters described in Item 16F(a)(2)(i) and Item 16F(a)(2)(ii) of Form 20-F, other than those consultations conducted in the ordinary course of the audit being performed by PwC Chile. During the period between April 29, 2016, the date PwC Chile´s dismissal became effective, through July 5, 2016, the date PwC Chile was appointed again as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the registrant had not consulted with PwC Chile regarding any matters described in Item 16F(a)(2)(i) and Item 16F(a)(2)(ii) of Form 20-F.
ITEM 16G: Corporate Governance
General summary of significant differences with regard to corporate government standards
The following paragraphs provide a brief, general summary of significant differences between corporate government practices followed by us pursuant to our home-country rules and those applicable to U.S. domestic issuers under NYSE listing standards.
124
Composition of the board of directors; independence.The NYSE listing standards provide that listed companies must have a majority of independent directors and that certain board committees must consist solely of independent directors. Under NYSE rule 303A.02, a director qualifies as independent only if the board affirmatively determines that such director has no material relationship with the company, either directly or indirectly. In addition, the NYSE listing standards enumerate a number of relationships that preclude independence.
Under the Chilean Corporations Act an open-stock corporation must have at least one independent director (out of a minimum of seven directors) when its market capitalization reaches or exceeds 1.5 million Unidades de Fomento (as of March 31, 20152017 approximately CLP 24.62339,708 million) and at least 12.5% of its outstanding shares with voting rights are in the possession of shareholders that individually control or possess less than 10% of such shares. In addition, the Chilean Corporations Act enumerates a number of relationships that preclude independence. Chilean law also establishes a number of principles of general applicability designed to avoid conflicts of interests and to establish standards for related party transactions. Specifically, directors elected by a group or class of shareholders have the same duties to the company and to the other shareholders as the rest of the directors, and all transactions with the company in which a director has an interest must be in the interest of and for the benefit of the company, relative in price, terms and conditions to those prevailing in the market at the time of its approval and comply with the requirements and procedures set forth in Chapter XVI of the Chilean Corporations Act. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”Transactions”.
Furthermore, such transactions must be reviewed by the directors’ committee (as defined below); they require prior approval by the board of directors and must be disclosed at the next meeting of shareholders, unless such transactions fall within one the exemptions contemplated by the Chilean Corporations Act and,or, if applicable, included in the usual practice policy approved by the board of directors. See “Item 7: Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”Transactions”. Pursuant to NYSE rule 303A.00, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to have a majority of independent directors.
Committees.The NYSE listing standards require that listed companies have a Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, a Compensation Committee and an Audit Committee.audit committee. Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified by the listing standards.
Under Chilean law, the only board committee that is required is the directors’ committee (comité de directores), composed of three members, such committee having a direct responsibility to (a) review the company’s financial statements and the independent auditors’ report and issue an opinion on such financial statements and report prior to their submission for shareholders’ approval, (b) make recommendationspropose to the board of directors with respectthe independent accountants and the risk rating agencies, which the board must then propose to the appointment of independent auditors and risk rating agencies,shareholders, (c) review related party transactions, and issue a report on such transactions, (d) review the managers, principal executive officers’ and employees’ compensation policies and plans and (e) to prepare an annual report of the performance of its duties, including the principal recommendations to shareholders; (f) advise the board of directors as to the suitability of retaining non-audit services from its external auditors, if the nature of such services could impair their independence; and (g) perform other duties as defined by the company’s bylaws, by a shareholders’ meeting or by the board. Requirements to be deemed an independent director are set forth in “Item 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees–Board Practices–Directors Committee.”Committee”.
Pursuant to NYSE Rule 303A.06, we must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act by July 31, 2005. In the meeting held on February 3, 2010, our board of directors agreed to increase from three to four the number of members of the audit committee, and to appoint Mr. Philippe Pasquet as the fourth member.

Shareholder approval of equity-compensation plans. Under NYSE listing standards, shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, with limited exemptions. An “equity-compensation plan” is a plan or other arrangement that provides for the delivery of equity securities of the listed company to any employee, director or other
service provider as compensation for services.
Under Chilean law, if previously approved by shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, up to ten percent of a capital increase in a publicly traded company may be set aside to fund equity-compensation plans for the company’s employees and/or for the employees of the company’s subsidiaries. Pursuant to NYSE rule 303A.00, as a foreign private issuer, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to comply with the NYSE listing standards with respect to shareholder approval of equity-compensation plans.
Corporate Governance Guidelines.The NYSE listing standards provide that listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines with regard to (a) director qualifications standards; (b) director responsibilities; (c) director access to management and independent advisors; (d) director compensation; (e) director orientation and continuing education; (f) management succession; and (g) annual performance evaluations of the board.
Chilean law does not require that such corporate governance guidelines be adopted. Director responsibilities and access to management and independent advisors are directly provided for by applicable law. Director compensation is determined by the annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to applicable law. As a foreign private issuer, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. Pursuant to SVS rules, the company is only required to disclose whether or not it has adopted corporate governance guidelines regarding, among others, the matters referred to above.
Code of Business Conduct.The NYSE listing standards require that listed companies adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers.
We have adopted a code of business conduct that applies generally to all of our executive officers and employees. A copy of the code of business conduct, as amended, is available on our website atwww.ccu.clorwww.ccuinvestor.com. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this document.
We have also adopted a code of conduct that applies to all members of our board of directors. A copy of this code is available on our website atwww.ccu.clorwww.ccuinvestor.com. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this document.
Manual of Information of Interest to the Market. In 2008, the SVS promulgated new rules which require public companies to adopt a manual regarding disclosure of information of interest to the market, board members and executives shares transactions and blackout periods for such transactions. This manual applies to our directors, the directors of our subsidiaries, our executive officers, some of our employees which may be in possession of confidential, reserved or privileged information of interest, and to our advisors. The manual took effect on June 1, 2008. A2008.A copy of themanual regarding disclosure of information of interest to the market, as amended on March 18, 2010, is available in our website atwww.ccu.clorwww.ccuinvestor.com. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this document.
Executive Sessions. To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, NYSE listing standards provide that non-management directors of each company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
126
Under Chilean law, the office of director is not legally compatible with that of general manager in publicly traded companies. The board of directors exercises its functions as a collective body and may partially delegate its powers to executive officers, attorneys, a director or a board commission of the company, and for specific purposes to other persons. As a foreign private issuer, we may follow Chilean practices and are not required to comply with the NYSE listing standard for executive sessions.
Certification Requirements. Under NYSE listing standards, Section 303A.12(a) provides that each listed company CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards, and Section 303A.12(b) provides that each listed company CEO must promptly notify the NYSE in writing after any executive officer of the listed company becomes aware of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A.
As a foreign private issuer, we must comply with Section 303A.12(b) of the NYSE listing standards, but we are not required to comply with 303A.12(a).

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting and has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20142016 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and, based on such criteria, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2014,2016, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20142016 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers,PwC Chile, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during 20142016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies and adjustment units (“Unidad de Fomento” or “UF”) are initially recorded at the exchange rate of the corresponding currency or adjustment unit as of the date on which the transaction occurs. The Unidad de Fomento (UF) is a Chilean inflation-indexed peso-denominated monetary unit. The UF rate is set daily in advance based on changes in the previous month’s inflation rate. At the close of each Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and adjustment units are translated into Chilean pesos at the exchange rate of the corresponding currency or adjustment unit. The exchange difference arising, both from the liquidation of foreign currency transactions, as well as from the valuation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities, is included in statement of income, in Foreign currency exchange differences, while the difference arising from the changes in adjustment units are recorded in the statement of income as Result as per adjustment units.
For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is different from the Chilean peso are translated into Chilean pesos by using the exchange rates valid as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the exchange differences originated by the translation of the assets and liabilities are recorded in Equity Reserve, under the Currency Translation Reserves item. The income and expense are translated at the monthly average exchange rate for the corresponding terms as differences since there have not been significant fluctuations in the exchange rates during each month.

Some indicators that an account receivable has impairment are the financial problems, initiation of a bankruptcy, financial restructuring and age of the balances of our customers.
Estimated losses from bad debts are determined by applying differentiateddifferent percentages, taking into account maturity factors, until reaching 100% of the balance in most of the debts older than 180 days, with the exception of those cases that in accordance with current policies, losses are estimated due to partial deterioration based on a case by case analysis.
Current trade receivable credits and accounts are initially recognized at their nominal value and are not discounted because they do not differ significantly from their fair value. The Company has determined that the calculation of the amortized cost is not materially different from the invoiced amount because the transactions do not have significant associated costs.
Financial liabilities
The Company recognizes a financial liability in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position according to the following:
Debts and financial liabilities that accrue interests
Loans and financial obligations accruing interest are initially recognized at the fair value of the resources obtained, less costs incurred directly attributable to the transaction. After initial recognition, loans and obligations accruing interest are valuedmeasured at their amortized cost. The difference between the net amount received and the value to be paid is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income during the term of the loan, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade accounts payable and other payables
Accounts payable and other accounts payable are initially recognized at their nominal value because they do not differ significantly from fair value. The Company has determined that no significant differences exist between the carrying value and amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Derivative Instruments
All derivative financial instruments are initially recognized as of the date of the agreement and subsequently revalued at their fair value as of the date of the financial statements.derivative contract and subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Gains and losses resulting from fair value measurement are recorded in the Statement of Income as gains or losses due to fair value of financial instruments, unless the derivative instrument qualifies is designated and is effective as a hedging instrument.
The Financial Instruments at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets classified as held for trading and financial assets which have been designated as such by the Company. Financial assets are classified as held for trading when acquired with the purpose of selling them within a short term. The fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Other gains (losses) . The fair value of these derivatives are recorded under Other financial assets y Other financial liabilities.

A hedge is considered effective when changes in the fair value or in the cash flows of the underlying directly attributable to the risk hedged are offset with the changes in fair value, or in the cash flows of the hedging instrument with effectiveness between 80% to 125%.
Derivative instruments classified as hedges are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2016 |
The total fair value of hedging derivatives are classified as assets or financial liabilities in Other non-current if the maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months and as other assets or current liabilities if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. The effect on resultsineffective portion of these instruments can be viewed in Other gains (losses) of the Consolidated Statements of Income. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of derivative instruments that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges are initially recognized in Cash Flow Hedge Reserve in a separate component of Equity. The income or loss related to the ineffective portion is immediately recognized in the Statement of Income. The amounts accumulated in Equity are reclassified in Income during the same period in which the corresponding hedged item is reflected in the Statement of Income. When a cash flow hedge ceases to comply with the hedge accounting criteria, any accumulated income or loss existing in Equity remains in Equity and is recognized when the expected transaction is finally recognized in the Statement of Income. When it is estimated that an expected transaction will not occur, the accumulated gain or loss recorded in Equity is immediately recognized in the Statement of Income.

At each financial statement date the Company assesses if a financial asset or financial group of assets is impaired.
The Company assesses impairment of accounts receivable collectively by grouping the financial assets according to similar risk characteristics, which indicate the debtor’s capacity to comply with their obligations under the agreed upon conditions. When there is objective evidence that a loss due to impairment has been incurred in the accounts receivable, the loss amount is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, as Administrative expenses.
In the event that during subsequent periods the impairment loss amount decreases and such decrease may be objectively related to an event occurring after impairment recognition, the impairment loss previously recognized is reversed.
Any subsequent impairment reversal is recognized in Income provided that the book value of the asset does not exceed its value as of the date the impairment was recognized.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost acquisition or production cost and net realizable value. The production cost of finished products and of products under processing includes raw material, direct labor, indirect manufacturing expenses based on a normal operational capacity and other costs incurred to place the products at the locations and in the conditions necessary for sale, net of discounts attributable to inventories.
The net realizable value is the estimated sale price in the normal course of business, less marketing and distribution expenses. When market conditions cause the production cost to be higher than its net realizable value, an allowance for assetsforassets deterioration is registered for the difference in value. This allowance for inventory deterioration also includes amounts related to obsolete items due to low turnover, technical obsolescence and products withdrawn from the market.
Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2016 |
The inventories and cost of products sold, is determined using the Weighted Average Cost (WAC). The Company estimates that most of the inventories have a high turnover.
The materials and raw materials purchased from third parties are valued at their acquisition cost; once used, they are incorporated in finished products using the WAC methodology.
CostsUnder the Biological current assets, the Company includes the costs associated with agricultural activities (winery)(grapes), which are deferredcapitalized up to the harvest date, at which time they become part of inventory cost for subsequentsubsequents processes. The Company considers that the costs associated with agricultural activities represent a reasonable approximation to fair value.
Other non-financial assets mainly include disbursementsincludes advance payments associated with advertising related to commercial advertising preparation that iscontracts regarding the making of commercials which are work in process but hasprogress and have not yet been shown (current and non-current), payments to insurances and advances to suppliers in relation with certain purchases of property, plant and equipmentequipment.

Disbursements after the purchase or acquisition are only capitalized when it is likely that the future economic benefits associated to the investment flow towards the Company, and costs may be reasonably measured. Subsequent disbursements related to repairs and maintenance are recorded as expense when incurred.

Property, plant and equipment depreciation, including the assets under financial lease, is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the fixed assets, taking into account their estimated residual value. When an asset is formed by significant components with different useful lives, each part is separately depreciated. Property, plant and equipment useful lives and residual values estimates are reviewed and adjusted at each financial statement closing date, if necessary.
Property, plant and equipment estimated useful lives are as follows:
Type of Assets | Number of years |
Land | Indefinite |
Buildings and Constructions | 20 to 60 |
Machinery and equipment | 10 to 25 |
| 5 to 10 |
Other equipment (coolers and mayolicas) | 5 to 8 |
Glass containers, and plastic containers | 3 to 12 |
Vines in production | 30 |

Biological assets held by Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A. (VSPT) and its subsidiaries consist of vines under formation and under production. The harvested grapes are used for the later production of wines.
Vines under production are valued at the historic cost, less depreciation and any impairment loss.
Depreciation of under production vines is recorded on a straight-line basis based on the 30-years average estimated production useful life, which is periodically assessed. Vines under formation are not depreciated until they start production.
Costs incurred in acquiring and planting new vines are capitalized.
When the book value of an itemasset of Property,property, plant and equipment exceeds its recoverable amount, itthis is reduced immediately reduced to its recoverable amount (See(See Note 2.16).2, 2.17).
During year 2015, the Company has early adopted the amendment of IAS 16 and 41, therefore vines under formation and under production are recorded in Properties, plant and equipment.
Lease agreements are classified as financial leases when the agreement transfers to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards inherent to the asset ownership, according to International Accounting Standard No. 17 “Leases”. For those agreements that qualify as financial leases, at the initial date an asset and a liability are recognized at a value equivalent to the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of future lease payments. Subsequently, lease payments are allocated between the financial expense and the obligation reduction, so that a constant interest rate on the obligation balance is obtained.
Lease agreements that do not qualify as financial leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments of operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the life of the lease.
Investment property consists of land and building held by the Company with the purpose of generating appreciation and are not used in the normal course of business, and are recorded at historic cost less impairment loss, if any. Investment property depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of such property, taking into account the estimated residual value of such property.

The Company uses the amortized historical cost to value its biological assets, on the basis that management considers that it represents a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Commercial Trademarks
The Company’s commercial trademarks correspond to intangible assets with an indefinite useful life that are presented at their historic cost, less any impairment loss. The Company believes that through marketing investments trademarks maintain their value, consequently they are considered as having an indefinite useful life and they are not amortizable. Such assets are subject to impairment tests on a yearly basis, or when factors exist indicating a likely loss of value ((Note 2.16).2, 2.17).
Software Program
Software Program licenses acquired are capitalized at the value of the costs incurred for their acquisition and preparation for the use of the specific programs. Such costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives (4 to 7 years). The maintenance costs of the software programs are recognized as expense in the year during which they are incurred.
Research and development
Research and development expenses are recognized in the period incurred.
Water Rights
Water Rights acquired by the Company correspond to the existing exploitation rights of water from natural sources, and they are recorded at their attributed cost as of the transition date to IFRS. Given that such rights are perpetual they are not amortizable, nevertheless they are annually subject to impairment assessment, or when factors exist that indicate a likely loss of value ((See Note 2.16)2, 2.17).

Goodwill represents the excess of costthe consideration transferred the amount of a business combinationany non-controlling interes in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair vale of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the Company’s share in the fair value of identifiablethe net idetificable assets liabilities and contingent liabilities as of the acquisition date,acquiree, and is accounted for at its cost value less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill related to joint venture acquisitions is included in the investment accounting value.
For the purposes of impairment tests, goodwill is assigned Cash Generating Units (CGU) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of a business combination. Each unit or group of units (CGU -See Note 21)21) represents the lowest level inside the Company at which goodwill is monitored for internal administration purposes, which is not larger than a business segment. The cash generating units to which the goodwill is assigned are tested for impairment annually or with a higher frequency, when there are signs indicating that a cash generating unit could experience impairment or some of the significant market conditions have changed.
Goodwill in the acquisition of joint ventures is assessed for impairment as part of the investment, provided that there are signs indicating that the investment may be impaired.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the book value of the cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable value, the recoverable value being the higher of the fair value of the cash generating unit, less costs to sell and its value in use.
An impairment loss is first assigned in goodwill to reduce its book value, and then to other assets in the cash generating unit. A recognized impairment loss is not reversed in the following years.
The Company annually assesses the existence of impairment indicators on non-financial assets. When indicators exist, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the impaired asset. In case it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the impaired asset at an individual level, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

For indefinite useful life intangible assets, which are not amortized, the Company performs all required test to ensure that the carrying amount does not exceed recoverable value.
The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of the fair value, less cost to sell and the value in use. The value in use is determined by estimating future cash flows associated with the asset or with the cash generating unit, discounted from its current value by using interest rates before taxes, which reflect the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset. In the event the asset book value exceeds its recoverable amount, the Company records an impairment loss in the Statement of Income.
For other non-financial assets different than goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful life, the Company assesses the existence of impairment indicators when some event or change in business circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable and impairment is recognised when the book value is higher than its recoverable value.
The Company annually assesses if impairment indicators of non-financial assets for which impairment losses were recorded during prior years have disappeared or decreased. In the event of such situation, the recoverable amount of the specific asset is recalculated and its book value increased, if necessary. Such increase is recognized in the Statement of Income as reversal of impairment losses. The increase in the value of the previously impaired asset is recognized only when it is originated by changes in the assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount. The asset amount increase resultingincreaseresulting from the reversal of the impairment loss is limited to the amount that would have been recorded had impairment not occurred.

Property, plant and equipment expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, for which active sale negotiations have begun and it is estimated that they will be sold within twelve months following the closing date are classified as assets of a disposal group held for sale.
These assets are measured at the lower of their book value and the estimated fair value, less costs to sell. From the moment in which the assets are classified as assets of a disposal group held for sale they are no longer depreciated.

Deferred Tax
Deferred taxes are those the Company expects to pay or to recover in the future, due to temporary differences between the book value of assets and liabilities (carrying amount for financial reporting purposes) and the corresponding tax basis of such assets and liabilities used to determine the profits subject to taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are generally recognized for all temporary differences, and they are calculated at the rates that will be valid on the date the liabilities are paid or the assets realized.
Deferred tax is recognized for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except in those cases where the Company is able to control the date on which temporary differences will be reversed, and it is likely that they will not be reverted in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets, including those originated by tax losses are recognized provided it is likely that in the future there are taxable profits against which deductible temporary differences may be charged.

Severance Indemnity
The Company recognizes a liability for the payment of irrevocable severance indemnities, originated from the collective and individual agreements entered into with employees. Such obligation is determined based on the actuarial value of the accrued cost of the benefit, a method which considers several factors in the calculation, such as estimates of future continuance, mortality rates, future salary increases and discount rates. The determined value is shown at its present valueby using the accrued benefits for years of service method. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest rates curves. The current losses and gains are directly recorded in Income.

Exchange rate sensitivity analysis
The exchange rate differences effect recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the periodyear ended as ofDecember 31, 2014,2016, related to the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, was an income of ThCh$ 456,996 (income of ThCh$ 957,565 in 2015 and a loss of ThCh$ 613,181 (ThCh$ 4,292,119 in 2013 and ThCh$ 1,002,839 in 2012)2014). Considering the exposure as ofDecember 31,, 2014, 2016, and assuming a 10% increase (or decrease) in the exchange rate, and maintaining constant all other variables, such as interest rates, it is estimated that the effect over the Company’s income would be an income (loss) after taxes of
ThCh$ 289,448 (a loss of ThCh$ 58,687 in 2015 and a loss of ThCh$ 204,456 (income (loss) of ThCh$ 85,506 in 2013 and ThCh$ 234,606 in 2012)2014).
Considering that approximately 8% of the Company’ sales relates to export sales carried out in Chile (8% in 2015 and 9%8% in 2013 and 2012 respectively)2014), in currencies different from the Chilean Peso, and that in Chile approximately 53% (53%63% (54% in 20132015 and 52%55% in 2012)2014) of the Company’s direct costs are indexed to the US Dollar and assuming that the Chilean Pesofunctional currencies will be appreciated or (depreciated) by 10% as compared to the set of foreign currencies, when maintaining constant the rest of the variables the hypothetical effect on the Company’s income would be income (loss)loss after taxes of ThCh$ 10,223,655 (income (loss) from13,908,457 (loss of ThCh$ 9,970,63110,380,193 in 20132015 and ThCh$ 8,965,35910,004,379 in 2012)2014).
The Company can also be affected by the variation of the exchange rate of where the countries included in Río de la Plata Operating Segment (Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay),foreign subsidiaries operate, since the result is converted to Chilean Pesos at the average rate of each month. The result of the operations in Río de la Plata Operating Segmentthe foreign subsidiaries during the year 20142016 were an income of ThCh$28,152,804 (ThCh $ 26,693,464 32,507,630 (ThCh$32,141,475 in 2013 andThCh $ 28,057,1632015 andThCh$ 29,235,462 in 2012)2014). Therefore, a depreciation (or appreciation) of 10% in the exchange rate of the Argentine and Uruguayan Peso, the UruguayanPeso and the Paraguayan Guarani against the Chilean Peso, would be a loss (income) before tax of ThCh$ 2,815,2503,250,763 (ThCh$ 2,790,8983,214,147 in 20132015 and ThCh$ 2,818,1892,923,546 in 2012)2014).

Interest rates sensitivity analysis
The total financial expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the twelve month ended as of December 31, 2014,2016, related to short-term and long-term debts amounted to ThCh$ 22,957,48220,307,238 (ThCh$ 24,084,22623,101,329 in 20132015 and ThCh$ 17,054,87922,957,482 in 2012)2014). AsAssuming a reasonably possible increase of December 31, 2014 we were 100% covered against100 bps in variable interest rate fluctuations (100% covered asrates and maintaining constant all the rest of December 31, 2013)the variables, the increase would hypothetically result in a loss before tax of ThCh$ 48,700 (ThCh$ 42,664 in 2015).
The Company maintains a series of Unidad de Fomento* (UF) indexed agreements with third parties, as well as UF indexed financial debt, which means that the Company is exposed to the UF fluctuations, generating increases in the value of the agreements and inflation adjustable liabilities, in the event it experiences growth. This risk is mitigated by the Company’s policy of keeping the unitary net sales in UF constant, as long as the market conditions allowsallow it.
* The Unidad de Fomento (UF) is a Chilean inflation-indexed, peso-denominated monetary unit. The UF rate is set daily based on changes in the previous month´s inflation rate.

Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. and subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2016 |
The book value of current accounts receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such facilities, and in the case of accounts receivable, due to the fact that any collection loss is already reflected in the impairment loss provision.
The fair value of non-derivative financial assets and liabilities that are not quoted in active markets are estimated through the use of discounted cash flows calculated on market variables observed as of the date of the financial statements. The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated through the discount of future cash flows, determined according to information observed in the market or to variables and prices obtained from third parties.
The fair value of bank borrowings and Bonds payable have hierarchy level 2 of fair value.

The Company markets its products through retail, wholesale clients, chains and supermarkets. As ofDecember 31, 2016, the accounts receivable from the three most important supermarket chains in Chile and Argentina represent 27.1% (29.1% in 2015) of the total accounts receivable.
As indicated in the Risk management note (Note 5), for Credit Risk purposes, the Company acquires credit insurance policies to cover approximately 90% and 99% of the significant accounts receivable balances domestic and export, respectively, of the total of the account receivables. Regarding amounts aged more than 6 months and for which no allowances have been constituted, they correspond mainly to amounts already covered by the credit insurance policies. In addition, there are amounts overdue within ranges for which, in accordance with current policies are only partially impaired for, based on a case by case analysis.
For the above mentioned, management estimates that it does not require establishing allowances for further deterioration, in addition to those already constituted based on an aging analysis of these balances.
The write-offs of our doubtful clients are once all pre-trial and judicial, efforts have been made and exhausted all means of payment, with the proper demonstration of the insolvency of customers. This process of punishment normally takes more than 1 year.

Goodwill assigned to the CGU is submitted
Goodwill assigned to the CGU is subject to impairment tests annually or with a higher frequency in case there are indications that any of the CGU could experience impairment. The recoverable amount of each CGU is determined as the higher of value in use or fair value less costs to sell. To determine the value in use, the Company has used cash flow projections over a 5-year span, based on the budgets and projections reviewed by Management for the same term and with an average grown-rate of 3%. The rates used to discount the projected cash flows reflect the market assessment of the specific risks related to the corresponding CGU. The pre-tax discount rates used range from a 9.5% to 12.8%. Given the materiality of the amounts involved, it was not considered relevant to describe additional information in this Note. A reasonable change in assumptions would not result in an impairment to goodwill.
As December 31, 2016, the Company has not identified any evidence of impairment of goodwill.

The Company, through its subsidiaries Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A., has biological assets corresponding to vines that produce grapes. The vines are segmented into those under formation and those under production, and they are grown both on leased and owned land. The grapes harvested from these vines are used in the manufacturing of wine, which is marketed both in the domestic market and abroad.
As ofDecember 31, 2016, the Company maintained approximately 4,208 of which 3,787 hectares are for vines in production stage. Of the total hectares mentioned above, 3,455 correspond to own land and 332 to leased land.
The vines under formation are recorded at historic cost, and only start being depreciated when they are transferred to the production phase, which occurs in the majority of cases in the third year after plantation, when they start producing grapes commercially (in volumes that justify their production-oriented handling and later harvest).
During 2016, the production plant vines yield approximately 49.8 million kilos of grapes (60.1 million kilos of grapes in 2015).
As part of the risk administration activities, the subsidiaries use insurance agreements for the damage caused by nature or other to their biological assets. In addition, either productive or under formation vines are not affected by title restrictions of any kind, nor have they been pledged as a guarantee for financial liabilities.
By the nature of business of the Company, in the value of the assets it is not considered to start an allowance for cost of dismantling, removal or restoration.
In relation to the impairment losses of property, plant and equipment, the Managment has not perceived evidence of impairment with respect to these at December 31, 2016.

The Company, through its subsidiaries Viña San Pedro Tarapacá S.A., has biological assets corresponding to vinesdate of issuance of these Financial Statements that produce grapes. The vines are segmented into those under formation and those under production, and they are grown both on leased and owned land.
The grapes harvested from these vines are used inproperty is the manufacturing of wine, which is marketed both in the domestic market and abroad.
As ofDecember 31, 2014, the Company maintained approximately 4,208, of which 4,083 hectares are for vines in production stage. Of the total hectares mentioned above, 3,765 correspond to own land and 318 to leased land.
The vines under formation are recorded at historic cost, and only start being depreciated when they are transferred to the production phase, which occurs in the majority of cases in the third year after plantation, when they start producing grapes commercially (in volumes that justify their production-oriented handling and later harvest).
During 2014, the production plant vines yield approximately 42,5 million kilos of grapes (54,1 million kilos of grapes in 2013).
As part of the risk administration activities, the subsidiaries use insurance agreements for the damage caused by nature or other to their biological assets. In addition, either productive or under formation vines are not affected by title restrictions of any kind, nor have they been pledged as a guarantee for financial liabilities.
For production vines depreciation is carried out on a linear basis and it is based on the 30-years average estimated production useful life, which is periodically assessed. Vines under formation are not depreciated until they start production.
The costs incurred for acquiring and planting new vines are capitalized.
The Company uses the amortized historical cost to value its biological assets, the basis that management considers that it represents a reasonable approximation to fair value.

(1) On September 29, 2014 Act No. 20,780 was published in Chile, regarding the so called “Tax reform” which introduces amendments, among others, to the Income tax system. The said Act provides that corporations will apply by default the "Partially Integrated System", unless a future Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting agrees to opt for the "Attributed Income Regime”. The Act provides for the "Partially Integrated System" a gradual increase in the First Category Income tax rate, going from 20% to 21% for the business year 2014, to 22.5% for the business year 2015, to 24% for the business year 2016, to 25.5% for the business year 2017 and to 27% starting 2018 business year.
The effect of the new tax rate of 21%, applicable from January 1, 2014, resulted in charges of ThCh$ 1,359,437 against income in2014.
The difference between assets and liabilities for deferred taxes which occur as a direct effect of the increase in the First Category Income tax rate introduced by Act No. 20,780, has been accounted against to Net income. As of December 31, 2014, the total effect registered against the Net income was an amount of ThCh$ 14,520,287.
(2) This concept is related to a change in tax rate, based on a modified tax law in Chile. This change in tax rate, which was initially a temporary measure, raised the rate from 17% to 20% for the year 2011 and 18.5% for the year 2012, returning to 17% in 2013. Subsequently, on September 27, 2012, Law N° 20,630, so-called Tax Reform was published, which made permanent the tax rate change from 17% to 20% for First Category Tax beginning in 2012, generating a charge to deferred income tax of ThCh$ 5,265,298. This charge includes ThCh$ 2,512,683 related to deferred tax of the revaluation of land, upon implementation of IFRS, whose origin was adjusted in Equity under Retained earnings. According to instructions from the SVS in its Ordinary Office N° 26160, dated November 7, 2012, in response to our submission dated October 31, 2012, this amount was charged to the Net income of 2012.
