Series B Shares and, together with the Series A Shares, the Shares), of Compañía de
Telecomunicaciones de Chile S.A., a publicly traded stock corporation organized and existing under
the laws of the Republic of Chile (the Company), other than Shares currently owned by Telefónica
Internacional Chile S.A., a corporation organized and existing under the laws the Republic of Chile
and indirectly wholly owned by Telefónica and any and all of the outstanding American Depositary

the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 17, 2008 (the Offer to
Purchase), and in the related ADS Letter of Transmittal, the Form of Acceptance and the ADS Notice

thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference into this Schedule TO, in response to all
items of this Schedule TO including, without limitation, all of the information required by
Schedule 13E-3 that is not included in or covered by the items in Schedule TO.

them in the Schedule TO.
Item 12. Exhibits
Item 12 is hereby amended as follows:
|
|
|
Exhibit No. |
|
Description |
|
|
|
Exhibit (a)(15) |
|
English translations of the opinions delivered by each member of the Companys
Board of Directors (incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (a)(1) to the Schedule 14D-9
filed by the Company on September 30, 2008). |
Item 13. Information Required by Schedule 13E-3
Item 8. Fairness of the Transaction
The paragraph under the question entitled Does the Company support the U.S. Offer? in the
section of the Offer to Purchase entitled Summary Term Sheet, the tenth paragraph of the section
of the Offer to Purchase entitled Introduction and the last paragraph of the section of the Offer
to Purchase entitled Special FactorsFairness of the Offers are hereby amended and restated in
their entirety by replacing such paragraphs with the following two paragraphs:
Pursuant to Chilean law, each individual member of the Board of Directors of
the Company must express in writing his reasoned opinion as to whether the Offers
could be in the interest of the Shareholders. Chilean law does not require each
individual member to recommend that shareholders accept or reject the Offers.
Furthermore, Chilean law only contemplates the delivery of a reasoned opinion by
each member of the Board of Directors of the Company and does not contemplate a
recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company, acting as such, that the
Shareholders accept or reject the Offers. Therefore, the Board of Directors of the
Company, acting as such, has not expressed an opinion and remains neutral with
respect to the Offers. However, each member of the Board of Directors of the
Company and two of the Companys alternate directors who are not obligated by
Chilean law to provide a recommendation, Carlos Díaz Vergara and Benjamín Holmes
Bierwirth, each acting in his individual capacity, has expressed in writing his
reasoned opinion that the Offers might be in the interest of the Shareholders.
As set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company on September 30,
2008, each of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company and the two
alternate directors of the Company understand that no director of the Company
intends to tender, sell or hold ADSs or Shares and that certain executive officers
of the Company intend to tender to the Purchaser all ADSs or Shares held by such
executive officers pursuant to the Offers.
Items 8(a), (b) and (e) are amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
(a), (b) and (e) The information set forth in the section of the Offer to Purchase entitled
Special FactorsFairness of the Offers and in the English translations of the opinions delivered
by each member of the Board of Directors of the Company attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(15) is
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 12. The Solicitation or Recommendation
Items 12(d) and (e) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
(d) and (e) The information set forth in the section of the Offer to Purchase entitled
Special FactorsFairness of the Offers and in the English translations of the opinions delivered
by each member of the Board of Directors of the Company attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(15) is
incorporated herein by reference.
