Tianqi and Nutrien Comment on Chilean Constitutional Court Ruling

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – Tianqi Lithium Corp. (SZSE: 002466) and Nutrien Ltd. (TSX; NYSE; NTR) said today that they are pleased with Chile’s Constitutional Court decision to dismiss the Pampa Group’s constitutional claim concerning the pending sale of a 24 percent minority stake in SQM to Tianqi. This allows the Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia (“TDLC”) to rule on the reconsideration motions filed by the Pampa Group, SQM and Conadecus against the TDLC’s initial decision. That unanimous (5:0) decision upheld Tianqi’s agreement with Chile’s antitrust enforcement authority on Tianqi’s purchase of Nutrien’s minority stake in SQM.

Nutrien and Tianqi expect to close the sale by the end of the year as previously planned.
