(Santiago, Chile, June 5, 2026) – In accordance with the provisions of Article 9 and the second paragraph of Article 10 of Law No. 18,045, and Section II, Item I, Letter 2.2.A of General Rule No. 30 of the Financial Market Commission (“CMF”), being duly authorized by the Board of Directors in an ordinary meeting held on May 6, 2026, I hereby inform the CMF as a MATERIAL EVENT regarding Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. (“CCU”) and its businesses, the following: 1.- Pursuant to the unanimous approval of the directors in office in a session held on May 6, 2026, CCU executed a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Nestlé Chile S.A. (“Nestlé”) on June 5, 2026, whereby CCU acquired the 49.9% equity interest that Nestlé held in Aguas CCU-Nestlé Chile S.A. (“Aguas CCU-Nestlé”), a subsidiary of CCU in which it holds the remaining 50.1% through its subsidiary Embotelladoras Chilenas Unidas S.A. (the “Transaction”). Consequently, as of this date, CCU became the direct and indirect owner of 100% of the share capital of Aguas CCU-Nestlé, a company that participates with leading brands in the growing water industry in Chile. 2.- For the determination of the price of 49.9% of the share capital of Aguas CCU-Nestlé, the SPA considered a 100% enterprise value of approximately CLP 322,377 million, on a cash-free and debt-free basis, resulting in a purchase price at closing amounting to approximately CLP 164,597 million, which is subject to certain adjustments typical for this type of transaction. As of this date, it is not yet possible to determine the definitive financial effects that the Transaction may have on CCU’s assets, liabilities, or results, which will be timely and duly reported to the CMF and the market in general. Following the completion of the Transaction, CCU will continue its commercial relationship with Nestlé, maintaining the distribution of ready-to-drink products in the water and coffee-based beverage market in Chile. With the disclosure of this material fact, the information reported to the CMF on May 7, 2026, is relieved of its character as a confidential material event. MATERIAL EVENT
