 party to these proceedings on August 1, 2024. The case is awaiting a ruling in the Court of Appeals. In addition, other legal proceedings have been directed against entities other than the Company or SQM Salar, which, if successful, could delay or render ineffective the association of SQM and Codelco. 21.5 Other matters The Company is required to be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in Chile and internationally with respect to anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and other regulatory matters including the US FCPA Act. In November 2023, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC requesting information and documents related to SQM’s mining operations, its compliance program, transactions with third parties and allegations of violations of the FCPA, if any, and other anti-corruption laws. The Company immediately hired experienced lawyers in the United States and Chile, as well as accountants and forensic experts, to respond to the SEC’s requests.

To respond to the SEC’s subpoena and complete the investigation, the Company has gathered and reviewed a large volume of documents and interviewed its employees, officers, directors, and third parties. It has cooperated with the SEC throughout this process by providing documents and information in response to the subpoena and making its employees available for testimony. Based on the internal investigation so far, the Company has not found any payments that it believes violate the anti- bribery provisions of the FCPA or other relevant anti-bribery statutes.
