Braskem clarifies restructuring talk, plans venue vote
Braskem S.A. filed a Form 6-K to clarify Brazilian regulator questions about a news article suggesting an imminent out-of-court restructuring and a move of its legal domicile from Salvador to São Paulo.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Braskem S.A. filed a Form 6-K to clarify Brazilian regulator questions about a news article suggesting an imminent out-of-court restructuring and a move of its legal domicile from Salvador to São Paulo. The company explains it is still working on a comprehensive review of economic and financial alternatives to optimize its capital structure, including assessing potential creditor protection measures, but states that no decision has been taken on which alternative or combination of alternatives will be implemented. Braskem also notes that a proposal to change its legal venue to São Paulo is already scheduled for shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting on April 27, 2026, with the rationale detailed in previously released materials.
Insights
Braskem acknowledges exploring creditor protection options but denies any finalized restructuring decision.
Braskem indicates it is conducting a broad assessment of economic and financial alternatives to optimize its capital structure, explicitly including potential creditor protection measures. This confirms active contingency planning but stops short of announcing any formal restructuring process or chosen path.
The company also has a proposal to move its legal domicile from Salvador to São Paulo, to be voted at an Extraordinary General Meeting on April 27, 2026. While the rationale is disclosed elsewhere, the combination of venue change and capital-structure review may be relevant for creditors and shareholders, though actual impact depends on future decisions not yet taken.

Ref.: Request for clarification regarding news – CVM Proceeding No. 19957.004980/2026-96
Dear Sirs,
In response to Official Letter No. 135/2026/CVM/SEP/GEA-1 (“Official Letter”), attached to this reply, Braskem S.A. (“Braskem” or the “Company”) presents the following clarifications regarding the news item published on April 5, 2026, in Lauro Jardim’s column of the newspaper O Globo, under the title: “On the verge of filing for Out-of-Court Restructuring, Braskem seeks distance from the Bahia Judiciary”, which contains the following statements:
“Braskem is preparing to file for an Out-of-Court Restructuring. That is hardly surprising given the company’s level of indebtedness.
Before that, however, one important step: it will change the company’s legal domicile from Salvador to São Paulo.”
As disclosed by the Company in the Notice to the Market released on April 2, 2026, the work is still ongoing on a comprehensive diagnosis of economic and financial alternatives aimed at optimizing its capital structure, as disclosed in the Material Fact dated September 26, 2025. In the course of this work, the Company and its advisors are assessing different alternatives to address the matter, including potential creditor protection measures. Nevertheless, we clarify that, as of this date, there is no decision regarding which alternative (or set of alternatives) will be implemented.
1
The proposal to change the Company’s legal venue will be submitted for approval by the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting, as informed on the Call Notice released on March 26, 2026, to be held on April 27, 2026 (“EGM”). The rationale for such proposal is public and known by the shareholders and the market and is set forth in the Management Proposal for the EGM, filed with the CVM’s IPE System and published on the Company’s Investor Relations website on March 25, 2026.
Provided the clarifications regarding the matter, we remain available to provide any additional clarifications.
Sincerely,
Felipe Montoro Jens
Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer
