Empresa de Transporte de Pasajeros Metro S.A.
(incorporated in the Republic of Chile as a closed stock corporation)

4.750% Notes due 2024
______________
We issued U.S.$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.750% notes due 2024, or the notes. The notes will
mature on February 4, 2024. Interest on the notes will accrue from February 4, 2014 and will be payable on February 4 and
August 4 of each year, commencing on August 4, 2014.
We may redeem the notes in whole or in part by paying the greater of the outstanding principal amount of the notes to
be redeemed and a "make-whole" amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of
redemption. We may also redeem the notes in whole, but not in part, at any time, if certain changes relating to Chilean tax
laws occur, as set forth in this offering memorandum. See "Description of the Notes."
The notes will be our direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank, at all times,
equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness (other than
obligations preferred by statute or by operation of law). The notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund and
will be effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness with respect to the value of our assets securing such
secured indebtedness. Although we are 100% owned by the Republic of Chile, the Republic of Chile is not liable for our
obligations under the notes.
No public market currently exists for the notes. We have applied to have the notes listed on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and admitted for trading on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. This offering
memorandum constitutes a prospectus for the purpose of the Luxembourg law, as amended, dated July 10, 2005 on
prospectuses for securities.
The notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities
Act. The notes may not be offered and sold within the United States or to U.S. persons, except to qualified institutional
buyers, or QIBs, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to
certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. You are hereby
notified that sellers of the notes may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144A. See "Plan of Distribution" and "Transfer Restrictions" for a description of the restrictions
regarding the purchase and transfer of the notes.
Investing in the notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 15.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, nor any U.S. state securities commission has
approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this offering memorandum is accurate or complete.
Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The notes may not be publicly offered or sold, directly or
indirectly, in Chile, or to any resident of Chile.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are a closed stock corporation (sociedad anónima cerrada) organized under the laws of Chile. All of our
directors and executive officers reside outside of the United States. All or a substantial portion of our assets and the
assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to
effect service of process within the United States on, or bring actions or enforce foreign judgments against us or
such persons in U.S. courts.
We have been advised by our Chilean counsel, Guerrero, Olivos, Novoa y Errázuriz, that no treaty exists
between the United States and Chile for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. Chilean courts, however,
have enforced final judgments rendered in the United States, without reviewing the merits of the subject matter of
the case, by virtue of the legal principles of reciprocity and comity, subject to the review in Chile of the United
States judgment in order to ascertain whether certain basic principles of due process and public policy have been
respected. If a U.S. court grants a final judgment, enforceability of this judgment in Chile will be subject to the
obtainment of the relevant exequatur (i.e., recognition and enforcement of the foreign judgment) according to
Chilean civil procedure law in force at that time and, consequently, subject to the satisfaction of certain factors.
Currently, the most important of these factors are:
(1) the existence of reciprocity absent which the foreign judgment may not be enforced in Chile;
(2) the absence of any conflict between the foreign judgment and Chilean laws (excluding for this purpose the
laws of civil procedure) and public policy;
(3) the absence of a conflicting judgment by a Chilean court relating to the same parties and arising from the
same facts and circumstances;
(4) the observance of all applicable laws to serve process on the defendant and protect the defendant's right to
defense; and
(5) that the foreign judgment is enforceable pursuant to the laws of the respective country.
We have been advised by our Chilean counsel that there is doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in
Chilean courts, of liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States and as to the
enforceability in Chilean courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws.
In addition, Article 445 No. 17 of the Chilean Civil Procedure Code sets forth that the assets that are used in the
performance of a service that cannot be suspended without harming transit or public health may not be seized or
attached. Accordingly, this provision affects our main assets, such as trains and subway stations.
We have appointed the Consul General of Chile in the New York, New York as our authorized agent upon
which process may be served in any action which may be instituted in any United States federal or state court having
subject matter jurisdiction in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, arising out of or based upon the
indenture governing the notes or the notes. See "Description of the Notes."

PRESENTATION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
Financial Statements
This offering memorandum includes:
·
our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, together with the notes thereto, or our unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements; and
·
our annual audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012,
2011 and 2010, together with the notes thereto, or our audited consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial information as of and for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
presented in this offering memorandum has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements
appearing elsewhere in this offering memorandum, which have been audited by Ernst & Young Servicios
Profesionales de Auditoría y Asesoría Ltda., independent auditors. The consolidated financial information as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2010 presented in this offering memorandum has been derived from our audited
consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this offering memorandum, which have been audited by
KPMG Auditores Consultores Ltda, independent auditors. Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to "our
financial statements," and "our consolidated financial statements," are to our unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements and our audited consolidated financial statements, in each case, included elsewhere in this
offering memorandum.
Accounting Principles
We maintain our financial books and records in Chilean pesos. We prepare our consolidated financial
statements in accordance with the specific rules and regulations issued by the SVS under Official Pronouncement
No. 6158, dated March 5, 2012, which are based on International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, and pursuant to which we are permitted to apply
International Public Sector Accounting Standard No. 21, or IPSAS 21, instead of International Accounting Standard
No. 36, or IAS 36. We refer to these accounting practices collectively as "Applicable GAAP." For additional
information on our application of IPSAS 21, see "Application of IPSAS 21" below and notes 2.8 and 2.9 to our
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012 and our annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Application of IPSAS 21
The technical fee (tarifa técnica) per passenger, or technical fee, we receive from Transantiago is intended to
ensure that we recover our operational costs, debt service costs (including principal and interest) and our costs
relating to replacement of property, plant and equipment with useful lives of 40 years or less. No other costs are
recoverable through the technical fee. However, we incur certain other capital expenses in property, plant and
equipment relating to civil construction and such costs are not taken into account when determining our technical
fees, even though a portion of these property, plant and equipment assets can only be used to provide passenger
transportation service. Because such assets do not generate other types of cash flows and because capital expenses
in these assets are not addressed by the technical fee, our cash flows are not sufficient to cover the capital
expenditure requirements relating to these civil construction-related assets.
Under IAS 36, the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is the greater of fair value (less costs
still to be incurred to sale the asset) and the discounted cash flows generated by the asset or cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs. Accordingly, if we were to apply IAS 36, many of our assets would be impaired because
their recoverable amount would be below their carrying amount, due to the insufficiency of cash flows they are able
to generate.
In order to address this, the SVS, by means of Official Pronouncement No. 6158, dated March 5, 2012,
exempted us from the application of IAS 36, such that we would not have to apply a discounted cash flow approach

SAOPAULO 131182 (2K)
vi

when carrying out the impairment test on these civil construction-related assets. The SVS, recognizing that certain
of our assets would not be recovered via cash flows, but through other means, including periodic capital
contributions by the Chilean government, authorized us to use IPSAS 21. Unlike IAS 36, IPSAS 21 provides for the
determination of the recoverable amount of assets pursuant to the depreciated replacement costs approach, the
restoration cost approach or the service units approach.
IPSAS 21 is part of the International Public Sector Accounting Standards, or IPSAS, which are issued by the
International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board, or IPSASB, an independent organ of the International
Federation of Accountants, or IFAC. IPSAS 21, like other IPSAS, reflects the efforts of the IPSASB to adapt certain
IFRS to a public sector context when appropriate to reflect the fact that sometimes governmental entities carry out
activities which are not primarily intended to generate profit, but rather are seen as public services, such as the
public transportation infrastructure that we provide.
As a result of the foregoing, our assets related to civil construction amounting net carrying amounts of
Ch$1,435,600 million, Ch$1,448,581 million, Ch$1,463,876 million and Ch$1,237,535 million as of September 30,
2013, and December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are accounted for under depreciated historical costs, in
accordance with IPSAS 21. If we had applied IAS 36 to these assets and carried out an impairment test under this
standard, the result could have a significant negative impact on our financial results as compared to the application
of IPSAS 21.
Special Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The body of generally accepted accounting principles is commonly referred to as "GAAP." For this purpose, a
non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, as one
that purports to measure historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows but excludes or
includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure. In this offering
memorandum, we present Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating profit (loss), which are non-GAAP financial
measures. We define (1) Adjusted EBITDA as gross profit less administrative expenses plus depreciation and
amortization and (2) adjusted operating profit (loss) as gross profit less administrative expenses. We present
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating profit because we believe they provide investors with a supplemental
measure of the financial performance of our operations that facilitates period-on-period comparisons on a consistent
basis. Our management also uses Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating profit, among other measures, for
internal planning and performance measurement purposes. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating profit should
not be construed as an alternative to net income, as an indicator of operating performance, as an alternative to cash
flow provided by operating activities or as measures of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating profit
(loss), as we calculated them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For
a calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating profit (loss) and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
and adjusted operating profit (loss) to our net income (loss), see "Selected Consolidated Financial and Other
InformationNon-GAAP financial measures and reconciliation."
Currency and Other Information
Unless otherwise stated, the financial information appearing in this offering memorandum is presented in
Chilean pesos. In this offering memorandum references to "Chilean pesos" or "Ch$" are to Chilean pesos, the
lawful currency of Chile, and references to "U.S. dollars," "dollars" or "U.S.$" are to United States dollars.
References to "UF" are to Unidades de Fomento, a daily indexed Chilean peso-denominated monetary unit
which is linked to, and adjusted daily to reflect changes in, the official consumer price index, or CPI, of the Chilean
National Institute of Statistics (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas), or INE. The UF is revalued in monthly cycles.
Each day in the period beginning on the tenth day of the current month through the ninth day of the succeeding
month, the nominal peso value of the UF is indexed up (or down in the event of deflation) in order to reflect a
proportionate amount of the change in the Chilean consumer price index during the prior calendar month. As of
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and as of September 30, 2013, the value of the UF was Ch$22,840.75,
Ch$22,294.03, Ch$21,455.55 and Ch$23,091.03, respectively.
This offering memorandum contains translations of certain Chilean peso amounts into U.S. dollars at a specified
rate solely for the convenience of the reader. The exchange rate translations contained in this offering memorandum

SAOPAULO 131182 (2K)
vii

should not be construed as representations that the peso amounts actually represent the U.S. dollar amounts
presented or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate indicated as of the dates mentioned herein or at any
other rate. Unless otherwise indicated, the exchange rate used in converting Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars for
amounts presented as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, and as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2012, was the observed exchange rate (dólar observado) reported by the Central Bank of Chile, or the
Chilean Central Bank, for September 30, 2013, which was Ch$504.20 per U.S.$1.00. The rate reported by the
Central Bank for September 30, 2013 is based upon the observed exchange rate published by the Central Bank on
the first business day following the respective period. Accordingly, we have converted original Chilean peso
amounts into U.S. dollars at the observed exchange rate as published by the Central Bank on October 1, 2013.
Therefore, although the exchange rate reported by the Central Bank on September 30, 2013 was Ch$502.97 per
U.S.$1.00, for conversion purposes in this document, we have consistently used Ch$504.20 per U.S.$1.00, which
was the exchange rate reported by the Central Bank on October 1, 2013, which applies to all transactions made on
the immediately next day. The observed exchange rate for any given day equals the average exchange rate of the
transactions conducted in the formal exchange market on the immediately preceding banking day, as certified by the
Chilean Central Bank. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean
pesos.
In addition, UF amounts that have been translated from pesos have been so translated at a conversion rate of
Ch$23,091.03 per UF, as published on September 30, 2013 by the Chilean Central Bank.
See "Exchange Rates" for information regarding rates of exchange between the peso and the U.S. dollar and the
conversion rates between the peso and UF for the periods specified therein.
In this offering memorandum, where information is presented in millions or billions of Chilean pesos or
thousands, millions or billions of U.S. dollars, amounts of less than one thousand, one million, or one billion, as the
case may be, have been truncated unless otherwise specified. All percentages have been rounded to the nearest
percent, one-tenth of one percent or one-hundredth of one percent, as the case may be. In some cases, amounts and
percentages presented in tables in this offering memorandum may not add up due to such rounding adjustments or
truncating.
Industry and Market Data
Market data and other statistical information (other than with respect to our financial results and performance)
used throughout this offering memorandum are based on independent industry publications, government
publications, reports by market research firms or other published independent sources.
Some data are also based on our estimates, which are derived from our review of internal surveys and analyses,
as well as independent sources, including the Chilean Central Bank, the Chilean National Institute of Statistics
(Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas), or INE, and the Community of Metros, or CoMet, a system of international
railway benchmarking of which we are a member. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not
independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness. In addition, these
sources may use different definitions of the relevant markets and other categories than those we present. Data
regarding our industry are intended to provide general guidance but are inherently imprecise. Though we believe
these estimates were reasonably derived, you should not place undue reliance on estimates, as they are inherently
uncertain.
Rounding
Certain figures included in this offering memorandum have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage
figures included in this offering memorandum 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
offering memorandum may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our
consolidated financial statements. Certain other amounts that appear in this offering memorandum may not sum due
to rounding.
