Re: Official Letter 147/2023/CVM/SEP/GEA-1 - Braskem – Request for clarification on media report

 

Dear Sirs,

 

We refer to Official Letter 147/2023/CVM/SEP/GEA-1 ("Official Letter"), dated May 11, 2023, in which you requested clarifications from Braskem S.A. ("Braskem" or "Company"), as transcribed below:

 

Dear Sirs,

 

1. We refer to news reports published on this date in the Valor Econômico news portal entitled “At Braskem, J&F and Unipar accept to be Petrobras partners”, informing the following:

 

The Unipar group and the J&F holding, owned by the Batista brothers, who own JBS, are still interested in buying Braskem. In contrast to the proposal made by the American fund Apollo and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), which want 100% of the petrochemical company, the two companies are willing to stay with Braskem, buying the participation of Novonor (former Odebrecht) and maintaining the partnership with Petrobras.

[...]

The negotiations are being conducted by a team from J&F, coordinated by the entrepreneur Joesley Batista.

[...]

Unipar has at least two models for a potential operation: a slice purchase of the petrochemical company, which does not please the creditor banks or the acquisition of all the assets, with a forecast of a “remedy” to guarantee the approval of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade).

 

2. In view of the above, we request a statement from the Company about the veracity of the report and, if it is, explain why the Company believed this was not a Material Fact and also provide any other information deemed important on the subject.”

In this regard, Braskem reinforces that it does not conduct any negotiations of its controlling shareholder Novonor about the sale of its equity interests, reason why it questioned Novonor, who informed the following:

 

“In response to your request, Novonor informs that, since our last statements and until the present moment, it did not receive any proposal from potential interested parties that implies a material or binding progress in its ongoing discussions with five Banks that hold the Fiduciary Alienation of its indirect interest in Braskem S.A.

 

We remain at your disposal for further clarifications.”

 

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

 

 

São Paulo, May 12, 2023.

Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer
