Given the exceptional situation of the pandemic, the exercise of the right of withdrawal may be carried out by one of the following alternatives: (i) by registered letter sent to the Administration offices, that is, Calle El Trovador 4285, Las Condes district, Santiago, or by written presentation signed and delivered to the same offices; or (ii) by means of a written presentation signed, scanned, and sent by email to the electronic mail address asistencia.junta@sqm.com. For the purposes of computing the corresponding deadlines, the date of exercise of the right shall be considered as the date of receipt by the Company of the notification in the manner indicated. If such notification has been sent by registered letter, the date of receipt shall be considered the third business day following the date of its delivery to the post office. In the notification in which the dissident shareholders exercise their withdrawal right, they must express their desire to withdraw due to the fact that they disagree with the Agreement.

The Company shall pay the dissident shareholders who exercise the withdrawal right, the market value of their Series A shares, which, in this case, in accordance with the provisions of Article 132, No. 3, of the Regulations, corresponds to the weighted average of the stock market transactions of the Series A shares during the period of 60 trading days comprised between the 30th and the 90th trading day prior to the date of the Shareholders Meeting.

In this case, the value to be paid to those who exercise that right shall be $21,921.78 (twenty- one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one point seventy-eight pesos, legal tender) per share, amount that corresponds to the market value of the shares, determined in accordance with that indicated in the preceding paragraph. Said amount shall be payable in pesos, legal tender, after signing by the shareholder of the corresponding transfer and delivery to the Company of the share titles.

In accordance with the relevant legal and regulatory provisions, the price of the shareholder's shares who exercise the withdrawal right as expressed above, when pertinent, shall be paid by the Company, without any surcharge, within 60 days following January 22, 2021, from the date determined by the Company's board of directors (the "Board of Directors"), which date shall be notified by sending a registered letter to the aforementioned shareholders.

It is hereby stated for the record that the Agreement and other related resolutions adopted at the Shareholders Meeting are subject to the resolutive condition that the right of withdrawal is exercised by more than 0.5% of the total Series A shares -that is, by more than 714,097 Series A shares- (the "Resolutive Condition"); without prejudice to the authority vested upon the Board of Directors to waive the Resolutive Condition and persevere in the Agreement. To this end, the market shall be informed in a timely manner, as a Material Fact: (i) the fact that the Agreement and other related agreements adopted at the Shareholders Meeting have become final, due to the failure of the Resolutive Condition or because it has been waived by the Board of Directors; or (ii) the fact that the Agreement and other related resolutions adopted at the Shareholders Meeting have been rendered ineffective, as the Resolutive Condition has been fulfilled and it has not been waived by the Board of Directors.
