SANTIAGO, CHILE, November 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Sociedad de Inversiones Pampa
Calichera S.A. (“Pampa Calichera”) announced today that it has extended the date by which holders
of their outstanding 7.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (Rule 144A: CUSIP No. 83363TAA1 and
ISIN US83363TAA16; Regulation S: CUSIP No. P8716HAA1 and ISIN USP8716HAA16) (the
“Notes”, and each holder of such Notes, a “Holder”) must tender their Notes from November 23 to
December 28, 2015. The tender offer consideration (the “Tender Offer Consideration”) in connection
with the current tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for up to U.S.$70 million in value of outstanding
Notes is U.S.$1,020 for each U.S.$1,000 in principal amount of Notes.
The Tender Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, dated September 10, 2015, as amended (the “Offer to Purchase”). Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, Pampa Calichera is offering to purchase
for cash up to U.S.$70 million in value of the Notes (the “Maximum Repurchase Amoun: “). Pampa
Calichera has extended the previously announced Expiration Time as defined below. As set forth in
the table below, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, Holders must now validly
tender and not properly withdraw their Notes at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
December 28, 2015, unless such date and time are extended or the Tender Offer ¡is earlier
terminated by Pampa Calichera in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law (such time and date,
as may be extended or earlier terminated, the “Expiration Time”) to receive the Tender Offer
Consideration.
Holders must validly tender and not properly withdraw their Notes at or before the Expiration Time in
order to be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration. Tenders of Notes may be withdrawn
at any time before the Expiration Time but not thereafter, except as required by law (the “Withdrawal
Deadline”). Note, however, that Pampa Calichera may at any time or from time to time extend either
the Expiration Time or the Withdrawal Deadline and retain all Notes tendered pursuant to such Offer.
The Tender Offer will expire at the Expiration Time, unless otherwise extended.
Holders of Notes who already have validly tendered their Notes do not need to take any further
action to receive the applicable Total Offer Consideration.

to the Tender Offer Consideration.
If more than the Maximum Repurchase Amount of Notes are validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn, and Notes are accepted for purchase, the amount of Notes that will be purchased will be
prorated as described in the Offer to Purchase. If, at the Expiration Time, the aggregate principal
amount of Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn ¡is less than the Maximum Repurchase
Amount, Pampa Calichera expects to accept for payment all such Notes without proration.
Pampa Calichera anticipates that, subject to proration as described in the Offer to Purchase, it will
accept for purchase and pay for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the
Expiration Time promptly following the Expiration Time. In addition to the Tender Offer
Consideration, holders of Notes accepted for payment will receive accrued and unpaid interest from
the last interest payment date for the Notes to, but not including, the settlement date.
