Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Chilean Cobalt Corp.’s industry, management beliefs, and assumptions made by management. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could have a material effect on the future financial performance of the Company. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made on the basis of management’s assumptions and analyses, as of the time the statements are made, in light of their experience and perception of historical conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the information incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. Item 8.01 Other Events. On July 22, 2026, the Company was informed that the Letter of Interest (“LOI”) previously issued to the Company by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“EXIM Bank”) would not be renewed due to EXIM’s published guidelines limiting eligible LOIs to a single twelve-month extension, for a maximum of two years. The Company previously requested and received such extension, and no further extension of the expired LOI could be made available. Accordingly, on July 22, 2026, the Company submitted a new application to EXIM for an LOI. In its application, the Company requested terms substantially similar to those of the expired LOI. Based on its discussions with EXIM to date, the Company anticipates that the application will be processed in the ordinary course. An LOI is not a commitment to finance and does not obligate EXIM to provide financing for any transaction; issuance is at EXIM’s sole discretion. There can be no assurance that EXIM will issue a new LOI, that any such letter will be issued within the timeframe the Company anticipates, or that its terms will be comparable to those of the expired letter. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
