To Our Clients:

Enclosed for your consideration are the Prospectus, dated                 , 2018 (as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Prospectus”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together with the Prospectus constitute the “Exchange Offer”), in connection with the offer by Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. (the “Company”), to exchange the Company’s new 3.875% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Exchange Notes”) and 5.500% Notes due 2047 (the “2047 Exchange Notes”, and together with the 2027 Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Notes”), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for any and all of the Company’s outstanding 3.875% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Restricted Notes”) and 5.500% Notes due 2047 (the “2047 Restricted Notes”, and together with the 2027 Restricted Notes, the “Restricted Notes”), respectively, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on                 , 2018, unless extended (the “Expiration Date”).

We are holding certain Restricted Notes for your account. An exchange of any such Restricted Notes can be made only by us and pursuant to your instructions. The Letter of Transmittal is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by you to exchange the Restricted Notes held by us for your account. The Exchange Offer provides a procedure for holders to tender by means of guaranteed delivery.

We request information as to whether you wish us to exchange any or all of the Restricted Notes held by us for your account upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.

Your attention is directed to the following:

 

  1. The forms and terms of the Exchange Notes are the same in all material respects as the forms and terms of the Restricted Notes (which they replace), except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the Exchange Notes will accrue from the most recent May 2 or November 2 on which interest was paid or provided for on the Restricted Notes, or, if no interest has been paid or provided for on the Restricted Notes, from November 2, 2017.

 

  2.

Based on an interpretation by the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as set forth in certain interpretive letters addressed to third parties in other transactions, Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Restricted Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by a holder thereof (other than a holder which is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act or a “broker” or “dealer” registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) without compliance with the registration and prospectus


  delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holder’s business and such holder is not engaging, does not intend to engage, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of such Exchange Notes. See “Shearman & Sterling,” SEC No-Action Letter (available July 2, 1993), “Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc.,” SEC No-Action Letter (available June 5, 1991) and “Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation,” SEC No-Action Letter (available May 13, 1988). Accordingly, each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of those Exchange Notes.

 

  3. The Exchange Offer is not conditioned on any minimum aggregate principal amount of Restricted Notes being tendered. The Exchange Notes will be exchanged for the Restricted Notes at the rate of US$2,000 principal amount of Exchange Notes for US$2,000 principal amount of Restricted Notes.

 

  4. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Exchange Offer, or any extension of the Exchange Offer, the Company will not be required to accept for exchange, or to exchange any Exchange Notes for, any Restricted Notes and may terminate the Exchange Offer (whether or not any Restricted Notes have been accepted for exchange) or may waive any conditions to or amend the Exchange Offer, if any of the conditions described in the Prospectus under “The Exchange Offer—Certain Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have occurred or exist or have not been satisfied.

 

  5. Tendered Restricted Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to midnight, New York City time, on the Expiration Date, if such Restricted Notes have not previously been accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

 

  6. Any transfer taxes applicable to the exchange of Restricted Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be paid by the Company, except as otherwise provided in Instruction 3 of the Letter of Transmittal.

If you wish to have us tender any or all of your Restricted Notes, please so instruct us by completing, detaching and returning to us the instruction form attached hereto. If you authorize a tender of your Restricted Notes, the entire principal amount of Restricted Notes held for your account will be tendered unless otherwise specified on the instruction form. Your instructions should be forwarded to us in ample time to permit us to submit a tender on your behalf by the Expiration Date.

The Exchange Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of the Restricted Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Exchange Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction or would otherwise not be in compliance with any provision of any applicable securities law.
