<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify"><B>Santiago, Chile, August
18, 2022</B> &ndash; 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 today to discuss the second quarter 2022 results. 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-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify">We are very pleased with
the results we published; these results were influenced by positive market conditions for fertilizers, iodine and lithium, where we saw
historically high prices. During the first six months of the year, lithium represented 73% of our gross profit. This comes at a great
moment as this year we are celebrating 25 years in the lithium industry. After decades in a &ldquo;public-private&rdquo; alliance with
Corfo, both parties, along with local communities and the country as a whole, are enjoying the benefits of our investments through know-how,
R&amp;D and hard work.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify">In the lithium industry,
we continue to see strong indicators relating to demand growth, particularly in China where it was reported that electric vehicles sales
were over double during the first half of 2022, a 113% growth, when compared with the same period last year. Recent months show that
this trend remains, EV sales in China were reportedly over 132% higher in June 2022 compared to June 2021. We believe that demand for
the year will grow at least 35% pending there are no negative news related to the pandemic or a global recession. Given all of this,
it seems likely that prices will remain relatively stable during the remainder of 2022.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify">While financial contributions
of US$2.2 billion will be paid to public funds as a result of our lithium operations during the first half of the year, we are even more
proud that we are a leading player in the green revolution through our lithium production, sales and expertise. Our state-of-the-art
lithium plant is producing lithium that is used directly in cutting edge battery technologies throughout the world, positively supporting
a global CO2 reduction through an electric vehicle transition.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify">Related to costs, we pay
CORFO as a function of our exports from Chile and the average sale price to third parties. As we keep on increasing capacity and keep
on producing more, we are exporting more volumes from Chile, that should, in the near future, be sold to customers as product reaches
the different markets in which we participate (remember that our integrated operations of value added lithium product are located in
Chile, while the main markets are at the other end of the world in Asia). This effect was particularly relevant this quarter as we exported
close to 53,000 metric tons while our sales were close to 34,000 metric tons. All of this, coupled with other payments and contributions
we make under the public-private alliance with CORFO had an accounting impact on our reported cost of goods sold in the lithium business
line, but bear in mind that part of this was also reflected as an increase in our cost of inventory. If prices keep on increasing as
dramatically as we saw during the first half of the year, or if the ratio between our sales and exports during each quarter doesn&rsquo;t
change, we may see a similar impact in the future. We believe total costs, cash cost and depreciation, is around US$3,500 per metric
ton, slightly higher than last year, despite inflationary pressures, quality improvement and ESG initiatives.</P>

 &ldquo;forward-looking 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
