Schedule 2, previously filed with the Amendment No. 2 and incorporated herein by reference, sets forth the names of the selling shareholders and respective number of Shares sold to Redes by each such person. |
|
ITEM 4. |
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
The purpose of the acquisition by GE Chile and GE Equity of their beneficial interests in the Company was indirectly to acquire an equity interest in the Company of approximately 16% for investment purposes. |
|
On April 11, 2002, Redes and Redes Cayman completed concurrent tender offers in the United States and Chile for approximately 28.7% of the Shares (the Tender Offers) and acquired substantially all of the indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiary, Chilesat S.A., owed to financial creditors, which indebtedness had an aggregate face value of approximately $104 million (the Bank Debt) pursuant to certain contracts, arrangements, understandings and relationships among third parties and the Southern Cross Filers (as defined in Item 6 below) and in certain cases GE Equity (collectively, the Promesas). As contemplated by the Promesas, and as described in Item 6 below, Redes and Redes Cayman entered into definitive agreements for the purchase of the Bank Debt (the Credit Assignment Agreements). As more fully described in Item 5 below, on April 25, 2002 Redes acquired an additional 2,544,520,602 Shares and Redes Cayman acquired an additional 1,232,641,286 Shares through the exercise of preemptive rights upon the issuance of new Shares following the increase in the Companys number of authorized Shares (the Capital Increase). |
|
In connection with the Capital Increase, other shareholders of the Company had preemptive rights to subscribe for a ratable amount of additional Shares. Due to the registration requirements of the U.S. securities laws, preemptive rights were not made available to U.S. holders of American Depositary Shares (the ADSs), each ADS then representing 10 Shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock, in connection with the offering in the Capital Increase. |
10
Consistent with past practice, the depositary under the ADS program sold, on behalf of the U.S. holders of ADSs, the preemptive rights and remitted the proceeds, if any, to such U.S. ADS holders. GE Chile and GE Equity increased their share ownership through the exercise by Redes and Redes Cayman of their respective preemptive rights as shareholders in the Capital Increase by subscribing for Shares at a price of 18 Chilean pesos per Share, and paying for such shares through the return of the Bank Debt to the Company. The Settlement Agreement (as defined below in Item 6) and certain of the Promesas contain agreements requiring the parties thereto to assign to the Southern Cross Filers or waive their preemptive rights to obtain additional Shares pursuant to the Capital Increase. |
The purpose of the purchase by Redes on May 23, 2002 of its beneficial interest in the Company was to acquire additional Shares and to provide the Company with funds for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. |
The purpose of the purchases by Redes on June 21, 2002 of its beneficial interest in the Company was to acquire additional Shares. |
As more fully described in Item 6 below, certain Shares formerly held by the Southern Cross Filers were transferred to the Ibáñez Entities (as defined below), as contemplated by the Settlement Agreement (as defined below). |
As more fully described in Item 1 above, the shareholders of the Company approved the Reverse Split on July 17, 2002. |
As more fully described in Item 6 below, on April 28, 2004, Redes and Redes Cayman entered into the Share Purchase Agreement and the Promise Agreement. The purpose of the sale by Redes and Redes Cayman under the Share Purchase Agreement and the proposed sale by Redes under the Promise Agreement is to divest themselves of their entire beneficial interest in the Company. |
Subject to certain regulatory approvals and the terms and conditions of the Promise Agreement, Telmex intends to realize a public tender offer for 100% of the Shares (excluding the Shares owned by Telmex following execution of the Share Purchase Agreement) (the Company Tender Offer), in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of Chile. Pursuant to the Promise Agreement, Telmex has the right to appoint a comptroller and a director to the board of directors of the Company within five business days following the announcement of the Company Tender Offer. |
If the Company Tender Offer is not consummated, the determination of whether or not to purchase or sell shares of capital stock in the Company and the terms of any such transactions will depend upon GE Chile and GE Equitys continued assessment of all relevant factors including the business affairs of the Company, market and general economic conditions, the availability of capital stock at favorable prices, alternative investment opportunities available to GE Chile and GE Equity, the strategic value to GE Chile and GE Equity of the capital stock or control of the Company and other factors deemed relevant by GE Chile and GE Equity. Additionally, GE Chile and GE Equity may acquire, or acquire rights to acquire, additional shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company by means of open market purchases, |
11
brokerage transactions, privately negotiated transactions, a business combination, merger, tender offer or other form of transaction involving the Company, all in accordance with Chilean and U.S. law. |
Alternatively, GE Chile and GE Equity may retain their existing Shares or dispose of some or all of their Shares in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending upon market conditions and other factors. In addition, either of GE Chile or GE Equity may transfer all or a portion of the Shares that it owns to any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The foregoing represents a range of possible activities GE Chile and GE Equity currently may take with respect to the Shares. It should be noted, however, that the possible activities and intentions of GE Chile and GE Equity are subject to change at any time. Each of GE Chile and GE Equity reserves the right to exercise any and all of its respective rights as beneficial owners of Shares or otherwise in such manner as it may determine, subject to the limitations set forth in the Redes Shareholders Agreement (as described in Item 6 below). |
Except as set forth above, in this Item 4, or in Item 5 or Item 6 below, or as set forth in the Exhibits incorporated by reference or annexed hereto, neither GE Chile nor GE Equity has any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the following: |
(a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company; |
(b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; |
(c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries; |
(d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; |
(e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; |
(f) any other material change in the Companys business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940; |
(g) changes in the Companys charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; |
(h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; |
12
(i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or |
|
(j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above. |

Certain of the Promesas required any creditor a party thereto holding Shares to tender all the Shares held by such creditor to the Southern Cross Filers or their affiliates in the 2002 tender offers, and further restricted the disposition of the Shares owned by such creditors. As contemplated by the Promesas, on April 15, 2002 Redes and Redes Cayman entered into the Credit Assignment Agreements for the transfer of the Bank Debt from the creditors to Redes and Redes Cayman. Although there are some variations among the Credit Assignment Agreements, they contain substantially similar terms, and a form of Credit Assignment Agreement is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 12 to Amendment No. 1. On April 26, 2002, the Southern Cross Filers also entered into definitive agreements for the transfer of the indebtedness owed by the Company and its affiliates to Nera Finans A.S. |
|
The Promesas were subject to certain conditions, including (i) that certain restructuring plans contained in amendments to the preventative judicial agreements between the Company, its subsidiary Chilesat S.A. and their respective creditors, which amendments were previously filed as Exhibit 2 to Amendment No. 1 (the Preventive Agreements), at meetings of the creditors of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chilesat S.A., were approved (which Preventive Agreements were agreed at a meeting of the creditors on or about December 28, 2001), and (ii) that the Capital Increase increasing the Companys total capitalization by at least 248,498,772,823 Chilean pesos through the issuance of approximately 13,805,487,378 Shares |
14

Although there are some variations among the Promesas, they contain substantially similar terms, and a form of Promesa was previously filed as Exhibit 3 to Amendment No. 1. The preceding summary of certain provisions of the Preventive Agreements and the Promesas is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Preventive Agreements and a form of Promesa incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3, respectively, to Amendment No. 1. |
As contemplated by the terms of the Promesas the parties thereto entered into definitive Purchase Agreements upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth above. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, Redes and Redes Cayman have acquired substantially all of the Companys Bank Debt. Although there are some variations among the Purchase Agreements, they contain substantially similar terms. |

The Redes Shareholders Agreement sets forth the agreements among the parties concerning the governance of Redes, the Company and their respective subsidiaries, including Redes Cayman, and that, subject to certain conditions, the consent of the parties will be required in order to take certain material actions with respect to the Company. The Redes Shareholders Agreement also sets forth the rights of the parties with respect to the transfer of shares of the capital stock of Redes, the Company and their subsidiaries, including customary tag-along and drag-along rights, rights of first refusal with respect to certain transfers of Shares by GE Chile, the right of GE Chile and GE Equity to enjoy a most favored nation status in connection with certain transfers by Connected or the Fund and certain other agreements relating to the transfer of the Shares by the parties. The Redes Shareholders Agreement also provided that the parties may cause the registration of the Shares to be acquired, directly or indirectly, by Redes. Pursuant to the Redes Shareholders Agreement, Connected, GE Equity and their affiliates have assigned to Redes most of the Promesas and the CSFB Agreement and the Put Option (each as defined below in this Item 6), and Redes has agreed to comply with certain obligations under the Settlement Agreement, the Yara Agreement, the Put Option and the Pledge Agreement. Pursuant to the Redes Shareholders Agreement, GE Chile as a minority investor in Redes has agreed to pay a management fee to Connected Chile in consideration of Connected Chiles active management role with respect to Redes and the Company.

The Ibáñez Entities exercised such call option by entering into two separate multi-step transactions, acquiring 6.4% on May 23, 2002, and acquiring 1.6% on June 5, 2002, each as more fully described in the definitive documents for such transactions that were previously filed as Exhibits 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17, to the Amendment No. 2 and are incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, on July 1, 2002, Redes deposited with Banmerchant S.A., as custodian, a stock certificate representing Shares equal to an additional 8% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company that may be acquired by Peumos in connection with the additional call option granted under the Settlement Agreement. Finally, as contemplated by the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Juan Eduardo Ibáñez Walker and Mr. Francisco Ibáñez Walker resigned as directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, on April 30, 2002, as more fully described in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the Settlement Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference. |
Share Purchase Agreement |
On April 28, 2004, Redes and Redes Cayman entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with Telmex, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 19 and which is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, Redes and Redes Cayman agreed to sell to Telmex 70,310,008 and 117,565,186 Shares, representing 14.9695% and 25.0305%, respectively, of the total outstanding Shares. The Share Purchase Agreement provides for a post-closing purchase price adjustment based on the amount of net debt and working capital of the Company as of March 31, 2004, as determined in accordance with the procedures outlined in Share Purchase Agreement. |
Promise Agreement |
On April 28, 2004, Redes and Telmex executed the Promise Agreement, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 20 and which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Promise Agreement, Telmex intends to realize the Company Tender |
16
Offer for 100% of the Shares (excluding the Shares owned by Telmex following execution of the Share Purchase Agreement). In accordance with Chilean law, Telmex has agreed to first announce a tender offer to realize a public tender offer for 50.1% of the shares of capital stock of Chilesat S.A., an affiliate of the Company (the Affiliate Tender Offer) and subject to such Affiliate Tender Offer being unsuccessful, will announce the Company Tender Offer. The Affiliate Tender Offer shall be conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Promise Agreement. Redes has agreed to tender its Shares pursuant to the Company Tender Offer and Telmex has agreed to purchase such tendered Shares. Under the Promise Agreement, Telmex has the right to appoint a comptroller and a director to the board of directors of the Company within five business days following the announcement of the Company Tender Offer. |
As of the date hereof, approximately 45.4301% of the Shares would be subject to the Promise Agreement. Shares held by other shareholders of the Company that are subject to tag-along and drag-along rights are not part of the Share Purchase Agreement or the Promise Agreement, but Redes has agreed in the Promise Agreement to use its best efforts to include these Shares with the Shares to be sold pursuant to the Promise Agreement. The Pledged Shares will not be included in the Shares to be sold pursuant to the Promise Agreement without the prior written consent of Banco de Chile. Redes may not sell its Shares to any other entity for the duration of the Company Tender Offer or during the first 120 days of a suspension of the Company Tender Offer, such 120-day period being calculated from the date of the announcement of the Company Tender Offer, if such suspension was not the fault of Redes. In the event that Telmex fails to acquire at least 85.4301% of the Shares in the Company Tender Offer or the Affiliate Tender Offer is successful or competitive tender offer to the Affiliate Public Offering is declared successful, Telmex has the right to put to Redes up to 187,875,194 Shares of the Company at the price of $0.50 per Share (the Right of Sale). If the Company Tender Offer fails for a reason other than the failures described in the foregoing sentence, Telmex has the right to put to Redes up to 77,810,815 or 16.5664% of the Shares of the Company at the price of $0.25 per Share (the Additional Right of Sale). Telmex may exercise its Right of Sale one time only and only during the fifteen (15) business days following the date of the publication of the success of the Affiliate Public Offering or the failure of the Company Tender Offer and Telmex may exercise its Additional Right of Sale one time only and only during the forty-five (45) business days following the earlier of (i) the date of publication of the notice of failure of the Company Tender Offer or (ii) in the event the Company Tender Offer is suspended, the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days from the date of the announcement of the Company Tender Offer. |
In addition, or as an alternative, to the right of Telmex to exercise the Additional Right of Sale, Telmex may exercise (i) tag-along rights pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Promise Agreement in the event that Redes sells its Shares to any third party (other than a sale due to the exercise of the Additional Call Option under the Settlement Agreement) and (ii) a right of first refusal to be exercised any time Redes decides to sell Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Promise Agreement (other than a sale due to the exercise of the Additional Call Option under the Settlement Agreement). |
The Promise Agreement also includes drag-along rights to be exercised in the event that the Company Tender Offer fails and Telmex owns directly or indirectly, more than 24.5% of the |
17
issued Shares, and as a result of the sale of Shares by Redes to a third party, Redes would lose control of the Company, Redes shall have the right to require Telmex to sell its Shares to such third party to whom Redes is selling its Shares, under the same terms and conditions as Redes. |
Redes Pledge |
On April 28, 2004, Redes executed the Redes Pledge for the benefit of Telmex, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 21 and which is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Redes Pledge, Redes pledged 187,875,194 Shares to guarantee a portion of Redes payment obligation under the Promise Agreement to purchase Shares in the event Telmex exercises the Right of Sale and Redes must pay the corresponding purchase price in connection with such Right of Sale. |
Telmex Pledge |
On April 28, 2004, Telmex executed the Telmex Pledge for the benefit of Redes, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 22 and which is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Telmex Pledge, Telmex pledged 187,875,194 Shares to guarantee a portion of the indemnification obligation of Telmex under the Promise Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement. |
Ibañez Tag/Drag Rights Agreement |
On April 28, 2004, Redes entered into the Ibañez Tag/Drag Rights Agreement with Ibañez, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 23 and which is incorporated herein by reference, pursuant to which each of Redes and Ibañez agreed not to exercise their respective drag-along and tag-along rights under the Settlement Agreement in connection with the Share Purchase Agreement and Ibañez agreed to tender its Shares in the Company Tender Offer. |
Ibañez Supplemental Agreement |
On April 28, 2004, Redes entered into the Ibañez Supplemental Agreement with Ibañez Group, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 24 and which is incorporated herein by reference, pursuant to which Redes and Ibañez Group agreed that the portion of the purchase price paid by Telmex pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement corresponding to the Shares that are subject to a Additional Call Option by Ibañez Group under the Settlement Agreement will be paid to Ibañez Group in accordance with the terms of the Ibañez Supplemental Agreement and if Telmex exercises it Right of Sale under the Promise Agreement and Redes acquires the Shares thereunder, Redes will deliver 7.99/40 of the acquired Shares to Ibañez Group. |
The above summary descriptions of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Promise Agreement, the Redes Pledge, the Telmex Pledge, the Ibañez Tag/Drag Rights Agreement and the Ibañez Supplemental Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Promise Agreement, the Redes Pledge, the Telmex Pledge, the Ibañez Tag/Drag Rights Agreement and the Ibañez Supplemental Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 respectively. |
