<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0; text-align: justify">This news release contains
 &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; 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: &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221;
 &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;strategy,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;will&#8221;
and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make concerning
the Company&#8217;s capital expenditures, financing sources, Sustainable Development Plan, business outlook, future economic performance,
anticipated profitability, revenues, expenses, or other financial items, anticipated cost synergies and product or service line
growth.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0; text-align: justify">Forward-looking statements
are neither 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, including our ability to successfully implement the Sustainable Development Plan. 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 other 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, except as required by law.</P>
