Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of a class (the “Class”) comprising purchasers of the securities of Chemical and Mining Company of Chile, Inc.(“SQM” or the “Company”) (NYSE:SQM) between March 4, 2014 and March 17, 2015, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors who purchased SQM securities during the Class Period and wish to serve as a lead plaintiff in the class action must move the Court no later than May 18, 2015.

Santiago, Chile-based SQM is engaged in the production and distribution of specialty plant nutrients, lithium, potassium sulfate, industrial chemicals and other commodity fertilizers. The Complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose material information concerning the Company’s operations, including that: (1) money from SQM was channeled illicitly to electoral campaigns for the Independent Democratic Union, Chile’s largest conservative party; (2) the Company lacked adequate internal controls over financial reporting; and (3), as a result of the foregoing, SQM’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

If you are a member of the Class described above, you may move the Court no later than May 18, 2015, to serve as lead plaintiff, if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class, you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
