This presentation release contains “forward-looking statements” 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:
“anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make concerning the Company’s capital
expenditures, financing sources, Sustainable Development Plan, Salar Futuro project, business outlook, future economic
performance, anticipated profitability, revenues, expenses, or other financial items, anticipated cost synergies and
product or service line growth.
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 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.
