ITEM 6.DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES

A.   DIRECTORS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT
------------------------------------
Pursuant to Chilean law, we are managed by a group of executive officers under the supervision of our board of directors. The Company’s operations in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay report to the corporate headquarters in Chile.
Board of Directors
In accordance with our current bylaws, the board of directors is comprised of fourteen (14) directors. The directors may or may not be shareholders and are elected at general shareholders’ meetings for a three-year term, with re-election permitted. Cumulative voting is permitted for the election of directors.
In the event of a vacancy, the board of directors may appoint a replacement to fill the vacancy, and the entire board of directors must be elected or re-elected at the next regularly scheduled general shareholders’ meeting.
The shareholders agreement regulates the election of directors of the Company by the controlling shareholders (See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Transactions with Related Companies”). In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the deposit agreement entered between The Company and the Bank of New York dated as of December 14, 2000, (the “Deposit Agreement”), if no instructions are received by The Bank of New York, as depositary (the “Depositary”), it shall give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the chairman of our board of directors with respect to the shares or other deposited securities that represent the ADRs.
The following table sets forth information with respect to the current directors of the Company:
