**SQM ANNOUNCES THE COMPLETION OF THE ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT WITH CODELCO**

**Santiago, Chile – December 27, 2025** - Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) (NYSE: SQM; Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-B, SQM-A) announces the completion of its strategic partnership with Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile ("Codelco") for the development of mining, production, commercial, community, and environmental initiatives in the Salar de Atacama. This partnership has been formalized through the merger by absorption of Codelco's subsidiary, Minera Tarar SpA, into SQM's subsidiary, SQM Salar SpA, which has simultaneously changed its corporate name to Nova Andino Litio SpA.

The merger was executed under substantially the same terms outlined in the Partnership Agreement signed on May 31, 2024, previously disclosed and available at https://ir.sqm.com/es/informacion-relacionada-la-negociacion-con-codelco. However, the merger remains subject to a resolutory condition pending the Supreme Court's decision on an appeal filed by Inversiones TLC SpA (Case No. 52.750-2025) against the ruling of the Santiago Court of Appeals dated November 11, 2025, in administrative litigation Case No. 508-2024, which rejected a claim of illegality related to Exempt Resolution No. 6,441 issued by the CMF on July 15, 2024.

As previously reported, the preferences and economic rights of Series A shares (Codelco) and Series B shares (SQM S.A.), as described in the Partnership Agreement, became effective on January 1, 2025. These rights include the distribution and payment of dividends according to the methodology established in the agreement. SQM and Nova Andino Litio SpA are currently working on determining the dividends to be distributed under this methodology, along with reviewing other accounting effects resulting from the merger. These will be reflected in SQM's consolidated annual financial statements for 2025 and in Nova Andino Litio SpA's financial statements.
