statements&rdquo; within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;plan,&rdquo; &ldquo;believe,&rdquo;
&ldquo;estimate,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;strategy,&rdquo; &ldquo;should,&rdquo; &ldquo;will&rdquo; and similar references
to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make concerning the Company&rsquo;s
business outlook, future economic performance, anticipated profitability, revenues, expenses, or other financial items, anticipated
cost synergies and product or service line growth.</P>

historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are estimates that reflect the best judgment of SQM management
based on currently available information. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they involve a number of risks,
uncertainties and other factors that are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those
stated in such statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Readers are referred to the
documents filed by SQM with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the most recent annual report on
Form 20-F, which identifies important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking
statements. All forward-looking statements are based on information available to SQM on the date hereof and SQM assumes no obligation
to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.</P>
