6.750% Senior Notes due 2023
Issue Price: 100.000%
Interest payable January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2013

We are offering $300,000,000 principal amount of 6.750% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Notes").
The Notes will mature on January 15, 2023. Interest will accrue on the Notes from January 15, 2013, and the first interest payment
date will be July 15, 2013.
We may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the redemption date, plus a "make-whole" premium. We
may redeem all or part of the Notes on or after January 15, 2018 at the redemption prices set forth herein plus accrued and unpaid
interest and additional amounts, if any, to the redemption date. At any time prior to January 15, 2016, we may also redeem up to 35%
of the aggregate initial principal amount of the Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price of
106.750% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the redemption date. We may
also redeem the Notes, at any time, upon the occurrence of specified events relating to Chilean tax law, as set forth in this
Luxembourg listing prospectus. See "Description of the Notes--Optional Redemption upon a Tax Event." Payments in respect of the
Notes may be subject to withholding or deduction for or on account of, taxes imposed by Chile or any jurisdiction through which
payment is made. Subject to certain exceptions, we will pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by holders of such
amounts as would have been received had no such withholding or deduction been required. See "Description of the Notes--
Additional Amounts." We must offer to purchase Notes if we experience specific kinds of changes of control or sell assets under
certain circumstances.
The Notes will rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt, rank senior to all our existing and
future subordinated debt and junior to all of our existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such
debt. The Notes will be guaranteed by all of our existing wholly-owned Chilean subsidiaries and by all of the wholly-owned Chilean
subsidiaries we acquire or create in the future. On the issue date, our only guarantor is Marc Leasing S.A. The Notes will be
structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.
Application has been made to list the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and trade the Notes on the Euro MTF market. This
Luxembourg listing prospectus constitutes a prospectus of the Luxembourg Law, dated July 10, 2005 on Prospectuses for Securities.
See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 24 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an
investment in the Notes.
Neither the Notes nor the guarantee have been nor will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other place. We are offering the Notes only to qualified institutional buyers under
Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the
Securities Act. For further details about eligible offerees and resale restrictions, see "Notice to Investors." ANY OFFER OR SALE

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
General
We are a Chilean sociedad anónima and maintain our financial books and records in Chilean
pesos ("Ch$") and prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in Chile ("Chilean GAAP"). The generally accepted accounting principles in Chile differ in
certain significant respects from International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). We have made no
attempt to quantify these differences. See Appendix A for a description of the main differences between
Chilean GAAP and IFRS. Investors should consult their professional advisors for a more detailed
understanding of the differences between Chilean GAAP and IFRS. All of our Audited Consolidated
Annual Financial Statements (as defined herein) have been translated into English.
This Luxembourg listing prospectus includes: (i) our audited consolidated financial statements as
of December 31, 2010 and 2011 and for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, which we
refer to as the "Audited Consolidated Annual Financial Statements"; (ii) our unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2012 and for the nine months ended September 30,
2011 and 2012, which we refer to as the "Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements" and
together with the Audited Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, our "Consolidated Financial
Statements"; and (iii) the audited financial statements (in Spanish) as of December 31, 2010 and 2011 and
for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2011 of Marc Leasing, S.A. This Luxembourg listing
prospectus does not include our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending
December 31, 2008.
Restatement of Prior Years
For comparative purposes, the financial information in and derived from the audited consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2008 and the Audited Consolidated
Annual Financial Statements for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010 and at December 31,
2010 has been restated in terms of Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2011. The financial information in
and derived from the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ending
September 30, 2011 has been restated in Chilean pesos as of September 30, 2012.
Financial Information from Peruvian Operations
Financial information for Peru has been derived from the audited consolidated annual financial
statements of Automotores Gildemeister Peru S.A. (the "Peruvian Audited Consolidated Annual Financial
Statements") and the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Automotores Gildemeister
Peru S.A. (the "Peruvian Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements" and together with the
Peruvian Audited Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, the "Peruvian Consolidated Financial
Statements"), which were initially prepared in accordance with Chilean GAAP and stated in U.S. dollars.
The Peruvian Consolidated Financial Statements were then translated, in accordance with Chilean GAAP
to Chilean pesos as set forth in Technical Bulletin 64 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants. Technical
Bulletin 64 classifies Peru as an "unstable" country according to its guidelines and consequently requires
(i) monetary assets and liabilities to be converted into U.S. dollars at the end of period exchange rate, (ii)
non-monetary assets and liabilities to be converted to U.S. dollars at their historical equivalents in U.S.
dollars and (iii) cash flows to be converted to U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate of the month in
which they are recognized. These figures are then translated into Chilean pesos at the end-of-period
exchange rate.

EBITDA
We define EBITDA as Net income plus Minority interest, Income tax, Price level restatement,
Depreciation and amortization, and Financial expenses. EBITDA is not a recognized term under Chilean
GAAP or IFRS and does not purport to be an alternative to net earnings as a measure of operating
performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is
not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does
not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service
requirements. Our presentation of EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not
consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under Chilean GAAP or
IFRS. Management uses EBITDA to measure and evaluate the operating performance of our core
business operations. EBITDA is not calculated under Chilean GAAP or IFRS and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows or other financial data prepared in
accordance with Chilean GAAP or IFRS or as a measure of our overall profitability or liquidity.
For a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, see "Summary Consolidated Financial
Information."
Effect of Rounding
Certain figures included in this Luxembourg listing prospectus have been rounded for ease of
presentation. Percentage figures included in this Luxembourg listing prospectus have not in all cases been
calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For
this reason, certain percentage amounts in this Luxembourg listing prospectus may vary from those
obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the Consolidated Financial Statements
or the Peruvian Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain other amounts that appear in this Luxembourg
listing prospectus may not sum due to rounding.
Economic and Market Data
In this Luxembourg listing prospectus, unless otherwise indicated, all macroeconomic data
related to the Chilean economy is based on information published by the Banco Central de Chile (the
Central Bank of Chile, or the "Chilean Central Bank"), and all economic data related to the Peruvian
economy is based on information published by the Banco Central de Reserva Perú (the Central Reserve
Bank of Peru, or the "Peruvian Central Bank"). Information on market share is based on information
published by the Asociación Nacional Automotriz de Chile (the National Automotive Association of
Chile, or "ANAC") and the Asociación de Representantes Automotrices del Peru (Association of
Peruvian Automotive Representatives, or ARAPER).
Facts, forecasts and statistics in this document relating to Chile and Peru and Chile's and Peru's
economies are derived from various official and other publicly available sources that we generally believe
to be reliable. However, we cannot guarantee the quality and reliability of such official and other sources
of materials. In addition, these facts, forecasts and statistics have not been independently verified by us
and, therefore, we make no representation as to the accuracy of such facts, forecasts and statistics, which
may not be consistent with other information compiled within or outside of Chile or Peru and may not be
complete or up to date. We have taken reasonable care in reproducing or extracting the information from
such sources. However, because of possibly flawed or ineffective methodologies underlying the
published information or discrepancies between the published information and market practice and other
problems, these facts, forecasts or statistics may be inaccurate and may not be comparable from period to
period or to facts, forecasts or statistics produced for other economies, and you should not unduly rely
upon them.

Currency
In this Luxembourg listing prospectus, references to "$", "U.S. $", "U.S. dollars" and "dollars"
are to United States dollars and references to "pesos" or "Ch$" are to Chilean pesos, the legal currency of
Chile. References to "UF" are references to unidades de fomento, an inflation-linked unit of account in
Chile. References to "nuevo soles" or "P$" are to Peruvian nuevo soles, the legal currency of Peru.
Percentages and certain dollar, Chilean peso, UF and Peruvian nuevo sol amounts contained herein have
been rounded for ease of presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, the exchange rate used to translate
peso amounts as of or for the year ended December 31, 2011 appearing in this Luxembourg listing
prospectus into dollars is the exchange rate published by the Chilean Central Bank for December 31,
2011, reported on January 2, 2012, which was Ch$519.20 per U.S. $1.00 and the exchange rate used to
translate UF amounts appearing in this Luxembourg listing prospectus into Chilean pesos is the exchange
rate published by the Chilean Central Bank for December 31, 2011, which was Ch$22,294.03 per UF1.00.
Unless otherwise indicated, the exchange rate used to translate Chilean peso amounts as of or for the nine
months ended September 30, 2012 appearing in this Luxembourg listing prospectus into dollars is the
exchange rate published by the Chilean Central Bank for September 30, 2012, reported on October 1,
2012, which was Ch$473.77 per U.S. $1.00 and the exchange rate used to translate UF amounts appearing
in this Luxembourg listing prospectus into Chilean pesos is the exchange rate published by the Chilean
Central Bank for September 30, 2012, which was Ch$22,591.05 per UF1.00. For reference only, on
January 31, 2013, the exchange rate published by the Chilean Central Bank to translate Chilean peso
amounts into dollars was Ch$471.40 per U.S. $1.00. These translations should not be construed as
representations that the peso amounts actually represent such dollar or UF amounts or could be converted
into dollars of UFs at the rates indicated or at any other rate. See "Exchange Rates."
All Chilean peso amounts stated in this Luxembourg listing prospectus for periods ending
December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, unless otherwise indicated, are stated in constant Chilean pesos as of
December 31, 2011, and all Chilean peso amounts stated in this Luxembourg listing prospectus for
periods ending September 30, 2011 and 2012, unless otherwise indicated, are stated in constant Chilean
pesos as of September 30, 2012. The rates of inflation used to calculate constant Chilean pesos for each
period are calculated from December 1 in the immediately preceding year to November 30 in the stated
year, based on statistics from the Chilean National Statistics Institute (Instituto Nacional de Estadisticas).
These rates were 3.9% for 2011, 2.5% for 2010, (2.3%) for 2009 and 2.6% for the twelve months ended
September 30, 2012.
The translation of amounts expressed in constant or nominal pesos as of a certain date to the then
prevailing exchange rate may result in presentation of dollar amounts different from the dollar amounts
that would have been obtained by translating constant or nominal pesos as of a different date to the
exchange rate prevailing on such different date.
