About the Lawsuit

Chemical Mining and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

These false statements and omissions included, in part, that: (i) money from Chemical Mining was channeled illicitly to electoral campaigns for the Independent Democratic Union ("UDI"), Chile's largest conservative party; and (ii) the Company lacked adequate internal controls over financial reporting.

On February 26, 2015, Chemical Mining issued the first of a series of disclosures, which revealed that the Company was linked to an ongoing UDI contribution scandal and ultimately culminated in the termination of the Chief Executive Officer and resignation of three Board members.

On this news, the price of Chemical Mining's shares plummeted.
