Approval from the State Administration for Market Regulation of People’s Republic of China to the Partnership between SQM and Codelco
Santiago, Chile, November 10, 2025 –Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) (NYSE: SQM; Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-B, SQM-A) informs that on this date the State Administration for Market Regulation of People’s Republic of China (“SAMR”) has approved the public-private association between SQM and Codelco to jointly develop extractive, productive and commercial activities derived from the exploration and exploitation of certain mining properties of the Production Development Corporation (CORFO) in the Atacama Salt Flat (Salar de Atacama) (directly or through its subsidiaries or representative offices) (the “Business”).
SAMR's authorization required SQM, Codelco, and the joint venture in which they will participate to develop the Business to undertake certain commitments to SAMR. In general terms, these commitments relate to (i) safeguards to prevent the exchange of sensitive information with other participants in the lithium market, (ii) corporate governance practices, and (iii) supplying certain minimum quantities of finished lithium carbonate products in their various specifications to Chinese customers on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms at prices that cannot exceed those applicable under the aforementioned commitment. A copy of an English translation of the version published by SAMR (which contains edits to protect free competition agreed upon with the authority) of its approval decision and the commitment will be made available to shareholders as soon as possible.
These commitments are consistent with SQM's established business practices in China. In line with the above, SQM estimates that, if these commitments had been in place between 2023 and this date, SQM's results would not have changed substantially.
