Holders who validly tendered (and did not withdraw) their Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Date, and whose Notes are purchased pursuant to the Offer, will be entitled to receive the "Total Consideration" payable under the Offer of $1,065 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which includes an "Early Tender Payment" of $30.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. In addition, holders will receive accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes tendered and accepted for payment in the Offer from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the early settlement date for the Notes. Santander-Chile intends to accept and pay for the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by the Early Tender Date on or about May 23, 2013.

However, any such tender will not be entitled to receive the Early Tender Payment. Withdrawal rights for the Tender Offer have expired and have not been extended.
The terms and conditions of the Offer are described in the Offer to Purchase and remain unchanged. Subject to applicable law, Santander-Chile may further amend, modify or terminate the Offer at any time in its sole discretion.
