Santiago, Chile, March 05, 2014 – Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM), announces that its Board of Directors, who met in an Ordinary Meeting on March 4^th, 2014, unanimously agreed to recommend at the next Annual General Shareholders' Meeting of SQM to distribute and pay, by way of final dividend, 50% of the distributable net income obtained by SQM during the exercise of the fiscal year 2013.

This recommendation implies maintaining SQM’s current "Dividend Policy for the Exercise of the Business Year 2013" which was informed to SQM’s Annual General Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25^th, 2013.

Therefore, and subject to the approval of SQM’s shareholder at the next Annual Meeting on April 25th of this year, the Company shall pay a final dividend of US$ 0.88738 per share as a consequence of the distributable net income obtained during the 2013 fiscal year. Nevertheless, the amount of US$ 0.75609 must be deducted from said definitive dividend, which was already paid as an provisional dividend, and the balance, in the amount of US$ 0.13129 per share, shall be paid and distributed to SQM Shareholders who are registered in the respective Registry by the fifth business day before the day on which the same shall be paid. Said amount, if applicable, shall be paid in the equivalent in Chilean national currency according to the value of the "Observed Dollar” or "US Dollar” that appears published in the Official Gazette on April 25, 2014. This shall be paid to the corresponding shareholders, in person or through their duly authorized representatives, as of 9:00am on Thursday, May 8th this year.

We inform you of the above as an essential fact and pursuant to that established for this purpose in Articles 9 and 10, second paragraph of Law N° 18,045. Additionally, also in accordance with the provisions in SQM’s "Dividend Policy for the Fiscal Year 2013" and Bulletins N° 660, N° 687 and N° 1062 and in the General Rule N° 30 of this Superintendence.
