SQM Salar appealed these settlements through a voluntary administrative request for reconsideration, which is still pending resolution. 21.4 Association with Codelco On July 26, 2024, Inversiones TLC SpA, a subsidiary of Tianqi, filed an appeal of illegality before the Court of Appeals of Santiago against the ordinary ruling No. 74.987 issued on June 18, 2024 by the CMF, which determined that the association between SQM and Codelco, reported as an material event on May 31, 2024, does not require approval by the Company's extraordinary shareholders' meeting. The Company became a party to these proceedings on August 1, 2024. The proceeding is awaiting pleadings before the Court of Appeals of Santiago, a court that on various occasions has decided not to grant Tianqi's requests to suspend the effects of the association. Additionally, there are other legal procedures against entities other than the Company or SQM Salar which, if successful, could delay or nullify SQM and Codelco’s partnership.
