Item 4 of this statement on Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following to the end of Item 4:

On May 17, 2021, the board of directors of Inversiones y Rentas S.A. (“IRSA”) approved IRSA engaging in a partial public tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for the acquisition of shares of Common Stock of CCU (including in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”)) representing up to a maximum of 4.44% of the current share capital of CCU.  The Tender Offer is expected to commence on May 19, 2021, for a price of 6,800 Chilean pesos per share of Common Stock (equivalent to Ch$13,600 per ADS) (the “Tender Offer Price”), which will be payable in Chilean pesos, provided that, with respect to shares of Common Stock represented by ADSs validly tendered to the ADS tender agent, and not validly withdrawn, that are accepted for payment in the Tender Offer, IRSA will direct the U.S. settlement agent to coordinate with the FX agent for the Tender Offer for the U.S. dollar conversion of the Tender Offer Price, upon instruction of the ADS tender agent and for the account of holders who tender their ADSs to the ADS tender agent, so that such holders of shares of Common Stock represented by ADSs tendered to the ADS tender agent that are accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer will receive payment in U.S. dollars, at the exchange rate to be described in the materials relating to the Tender Offer, and less ADS cancellation fees charged by the ADS depositary and applicable withholding taxes, all as will be further described in the Tender Offer materials, and in each case in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions described therein. The Tender Offer will be subject to customary conditions, and compliance with applicable U.S. and Chilean regulations.

IRSA intends to fund the purchase of the shares of Common Stock tendered in the Tender Offer, and any related costs and expenses, which are expected to aggregate to an amount of up to 115,000 million Chilean pesos, with borrowings under the Credit Facility entered into with Scotiabank Chile in February 2021 (as amended in March 2021) providing for borrowings of up to 5,200,000 Unidades de Fomento, of which 3,850,000 Unidades de Fomento remain available to be drawn, and, if necessary, cash on hand.

IRSA intends to effectuate the Tender Offer in order to increase its ownership interest in CCU by up to an additional 4.44% of the outstanding Common Stock from its current approximately 61.56% ownership interest, which was its historical level of approximately 66% prevailing prior to CCU’s capital increase in 2013.

The description of the Tender Offer in this Schedule 13D is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of CCU.  The Tender Offer described herein has not yet commenced. When the Tender Offer is commenced, tender offer materials will be made available and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and SEC rules. In that event, shareholders and investors are urged to read the tender offer materials because they will contain important information, including the full details of the Tender Offer. Shareholders and investors may obtain free copies of the tender offer materials that IRSA files with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and will receive information at an appropriate time on how to obtain tender offer materials for free from IRSA. These tender offer materials are not currently available, and their availability is subject to the commencement of the Tender Offer.
