<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>Santiago, Chile, March 3, 2020 &ndash;</B>
Sociedad Qu&iacute;mica y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) (NYSE: SQM; Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-A, SQM-B, the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;),
held a conference call to discuss the fourth quarter 2019 results, which were published on March 2, 2020. The following items were
discussed by executive management as part of the conference call:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Our revenue for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2019 reached almost US$2 billion, and our net income reached almost US$280 million, lower than the net income reported
during the same period last year. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin this year was slightly above 33%. Our results were impacted by lower
sales volumes in potassium, and lower average prices in the lithium market. We did see higher average prices in the iodine market,
which had a positive impact on our gross profit by over US$30 million.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">For 2020, we expect volume growth in all
business lines this year, except iodine, where prices have been increasing significantly. In the potassium chloride market, we
expect our volumes to increase 20-25%, in SPN approximately 5%, in lithium over 20%, and in industrial chemicals over 80%, as we
begin delivery of 150,000 metric tons solar salts this year, out of a more than 400,000 metric ton project. In the lithium market,
we believe that prices will be lower in 2020 when compared to 2019. In the iodine market, we believe that the positive price trend
should continue.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Of course these estimates could change
given the volatility of the world economy. For lithium, we have already seen an impact in China in the first quarter. Even though
we have seen a positive change in the past weeks, our sales volumes in China during the first quarter could be up to 2,000 metric
tons less than originally expected. We believe demand growth could be about 15% this year in the lithium market. We hope that we
will be able to compensate for these lower sales volumes during the remaining three quarters, reaching 55,000-60,000 metric tons
this year.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We recently approved a capex plan of approximately
US$450 million for 2020. As we mentioned in our press release last night, we continue to expand lithium operations in Chile. We
have decided to complete our lithium hydroxide capacity expansion in two stages, the first one of 8,000 metric tons should be completed
next year. On our lithium carbonate expansion, we feel confident that we will reach 120,000 metric tons of capacity next year as
well. We continue investing in our nitrates capacity to serve the growing solar salts market and our iodine capacity to continue
growing our leading position in this market.</P>
