Securities Registry Number Nº115
Dear Sirs:
In accordance with the provisions of articles 9 and 10 of the Securities Market Law and the General Rule No. 30 issued by the Superintendence under your authority, I hereby inform you, duly authorized, that Empresas CMPC S.A. has acted as guarantor and joint debtor of its subsidiary Inversiones CMPC S.A., in relation to a bond issued by the latter in the United States of America today.
The issuance was made under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933 and reached an amount of US$500 million. The bond has a term of 10 years and will bear an interest rate of 6.125%. The effective placement rate is 6.127%, with a spread over the 10-year US Treasury bond of 240 bps. Interest will be paid semi-annually, and the principal will be amortized in a single payment at maturity.
The issuance is characterized as "Green and Sustainability-Linked," which means that the funds will be used to finance or refinance projects that qualify as green, and CMPC must meet certain sustainability objectives within the agreed timeframes, monitored through Key Performance Indicators and Sustainability Performance Objectives, among others. This is the first issuance of a Latin American company that meets both conditions.
The placement banks were BNP Paribas, BofA, HSBC, J.P. Morgan, MUFG, Santander, and Scotiabank.
Sincerely,
