MASISA S.A.
Publicly-Traded Corporation
SIGNIFICANT EVENT
Santiago, July 3, 2007
Mr. Guillermo Larraín Ríos
Superintendent
Superintendency of Securities and Insurance
Dear Sir,
Pursuant to what is laid down in article 9 and the second sub-paragraph of article 10 of Law Nº18.045 of the Chilean Securities Market and in General Regulation Nº30 of the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance and duly empowered to such effect, I hereby complement the Important Event submitted to this Superintendency on June 1, 2007 with the following:
On such Important Event it was informed that the sale of the 90% ownership stake of Forestal Argentina S.A. (“FASA”) will generate “net income for Masisa of approximately US$29 million, without accounting for the effects of the realization of equity reserves related to FASA that have been recognized to date by Masisa.” Through this Important Event, I hereby inform to this Superintendency of Securities and Insurance that the effect of the realization of reserves related to FASA that have been recognized to date by Masisa amounts to approximately US$11 million. Therefore, the net income for Masisa resulting from the above mentioned transaction will total approximately US$40 million under Chilean GAAP.
As previously informed, the final closing of this purchase and sale agreement, and specifically the transfer of FASA’s share certificates to the buyers, is subject to normal commercial conditions for these kind of deals, to due diligence, and to the authorization from Argentina’s National Border Zone Commission.
Yours faithfully,
Enrique Cibié Bluth
CEO
Masisa S.A.
