The meetings are set to commence next week, and in alignment with shared objectives, both parties agreed to act diligently and prudently in the pursuit of an agreement that will benefit the country, the Antofagasta region, the communities near the operations, SQM and Codelco. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:11pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times';font-size:11pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';">SQM has been working diligently over the past years towards the development of innovative production processes and cutting-edge technologies, aimed at maintaining the water balance in the basin of the Salar de Atacama and achieving a carbon-neutral operation in harmony with the nearby communities.

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, Salar Futuro Plan, business and demand outlook, future economic performance, anticipated sales volumes, profitability, revenues, expenses, or other financial items, anticipated cost synergies and product or service line growth.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 10.95pt 0pt 0pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;margin-right:0pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 10.95pt 0pt 0pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';">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, 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 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.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times';font-size:12pt;margin:0pt 10.95pt 0pt 0pt;"><font style="color:#0000ff;font-family:'Museo Sans
