facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are estimates that reflect the best judgment of SQM management based on currently

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, including 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
