Ref.: Official Letter 314/2024/CVM/SEP/GEA-1 - BRASKEM - Request for clarification on news

Dear Sirs,

We refer to Official Letter 314/2024/CVM/SEP/GEA-1 ("Official Letter"), dated November 29, 2024, through which you request clarification from Braskem S.A. ("Braskem" or "Company"), as follows:

"Mr. Director,

1. We refer to the news published on 11/28/2024, on the O Globo news portal, ECONOMIA section, under the title: "Banks create fund to attract investors in Braskem", in which the following statements were made:

Braskem, the leading plastics producer in the Americas, is beginning to have its future redesigned in a new sales model. Now, the strategy involves creating a fund to inlclude a new investor, according to sources close to the negotiations.

Novonor (formerly Odebrecht) holds 50.1% of Braskem's voting capital, while Petrobras holds 47%. The remaining shares are held by minority shareholders.

This private equity fund will bring together Braskem shares held by Novonor that were given as collateral to banks such as Bradesco, Itaú, Santander, Banco do Brasil and BNDES, as a result of the construction company's judicial recovery process, whose debts exceed R$15 billion.

After several direct sales attempts by Novonor, the new negotiation model is being structured by financial institutions and already has Petrobras' approval. Although there is urgency in defining the future of petrochemicals, banks are still formatting the fund.

The fund will buy most of Novonor's shares (including those given as collateral to the banks), in a process that could include capitalization. The new investor would control this fund directly. Thus, he would become an indirect shareholder of Braskem, substantially diluting Novonor's stake, as explained by sources close to the matter.

2. In view of the above, we request that you clarify whether the statements contained in the news are true and, if so, the reasons why it understood that it is not a Material Fac, in addition to commenting on other information considered important on the subject."

 

 
 

 

In this regard, Braskem In this regard, Braskem emphasizes that it does not conduct any negotiation of the shareholders who are signatories to the Company’s Shareholders’ Agreement (“Shareholders”) regarding their equity stake and clarifies that it is not aware of the information contained in such news, as for this reason, it has questioned its Shareholders, which has informed the following

 

(A)Novonor:

“In response to the requested clarifications, Novonor informs that, to date, there has been no material or binding development in the discussions it has been holding with the interested parties in its indirect stake in Braskem SA. Any material development in the discussions will be immediately communicated to you, so that you can adopt the usual measures.”

 

(B)Petrobras:

“The company clarifies that there is no participation by Petrobras in the new negotiation model between Novonor and financial institutions. Petrobras reiterates that no decision has been made regarding its stake in Braskem and continues to study alternatives.”

 

Being what we had for the moment, we subscribe, making ourselves available for further clarifications if necessary.
