Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Braskem S.A. describes a new shareholders’ agreement under which Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras and Shine I FIP will jointly control the company once a pending share transaction closes, subject to conditions including judicial approvals.

The agreement requires consensus between Petrobras and FIP on all Board of Directors and Shareholders’ Meeting resolutions and allows each to appoint an equal number of directors and executive officers. It runs for 30 years from closing and can terminate early if their combined stake drops below 50% of common shares or if FIP transfers at least 5% of common shares to third parties. The pact also sets rights of first refusal and tag-along, a lock-up on FIP’s stake tied to Braskem reaching a Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.5 or lower for three consecutive quarters, and a commitment to seek listing on B3’s Novo Mercado after that financial target is met.

Insights

Braskem outlines a long-term joint control structure between Petrobras and FIP with detailed governance rules.

The agreement gives Petrobras and FIP shared control via mandatory consensus on shareholder and board decisions and equal appointments to the Board and Executive Board. This formalizes a stable control bloc with clear allocation of key management positions across both parties.

Protective provisions include rights of first refusal and tag-along, early termination if combined ownership falls below 50% of common shares, and transfer limits for FIP during a lock-up period. A financial covenant-like target—Net Debt/EBITDA at or below 2.5% for three consecutive quarters—links governance features such as FIP’s transfer flexibility and a planned move to B3’s Novo Mercado segment to Braskem’s leverage profile.

Agreement term 30 years Duration of new shareholders’ agreement from closing date
Control threshold 50% of common shares Early termination if combined stake falls below this level
FIP transfer trigger 5% of common shares Petrobras may terminate if FIP transfers at least this amount
Financial Target leverage Net Debt/EBITDA 2.5 Target ratio for three consecutive quarters
Board size 11 members Composition of Braskem’s Board of Directors including 3 independents
Executive officers 8 officers Statutory Executive Board positions defined in the agreement
Lock-up reference period 2 years Minimum lock-up period for FIP from the Effective Date
Financial Target measurement 3 consecutive quarters Period over which Net Debt/EBITDA must meet 2.5 threshold
New Shareholders’ Agreement financial
"a new shareholders’ agreement of the Company was entered into between FIP and Petrobras"
joint exercise of control financial
"governs, among other matters, the joint exercise of control of the Company by FIP and Petrobras"
right of first refusal financial
"Clause 7.2 grants the Parties a mutual right of first refusal with respect to the acquisition of all Bound Shares"
A right of first refusal gives an existing shareholder or party the chance to buy an asset or shares before the owner can sell them to someone else. Think of it like being offered the first option to buy a house when the owner decides to sell; it matters to investors because it can limit who can acquire a stake, slow or block transactions, and affect the price and liquidity of an investment by restricting open-market sales or new buyers.
tag-along financial
"Clause 7.3 ensures that the non-offering Party has the right to participate in the sale under a tag-along mechanism"
lock-up financial
"Clause 7.4 imposes additional restrictions on transfers by FIP, including • a lock-up period"
A lock-up is an agreement that prevents company insiders, early investors or employees from selling their shares for a set period after a public share offering. It matters to investors because it temporarily limits the number of shares available to trade—like a scheduled hold on extra inventory—and when that hold ends a large number of shares can enter the market, potentially putting downward pressure on the stock price and revealing insiders’ confidence in the company.
Novo Mercado financial
"promote the listing of the Company’s shares on the Novo Mercado segment of B3 S.A."

(d) Description of provisions relating to the issuer

 

Preliminary Meetings

 

Pursuant to Clause 4.3 of the New Shareholders’ Agreement, any matter to be resolved at a Shareholders’ Meeting or at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors must be previously decided by consensus between the Parties, with Preliminary Shareholders’ Meetings being mandatory for matters to be resolved at Shareholders’ Meetings and optional, upon request of either Party, for matters to be submitted to the Board of Directors. Clauses 4.5 and 4.6 set forth the matters subject to the authority and approval thresholds of the Board of Directors and the Shareholders’ Meeting, respectively.

 

Clause 4.4.7 provides that resolutions adopted at Preliminary Meetings shall be formalized through minutes and shall constitute binding voting agreements, requiring the Parties and the board members appointed by them to vote accordingly at Shareholders’ Meetings and Board meetings, without binding any Independent Directors elected by the Parties.

 
 

 

Composition of governing bodies

 

Under Clause 6.2, the Company’s Board of Directors shall be composed of 11 sitting members and respective alternates (elected through slate voting), including 3 Independent Directors, with equal representation between Petrobras and FIP, each Party being entitled to appoint the same number of directors. The Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Board shall be elected on a rotating basis between the Parties, with neither holding a casting vote.

 

Pursuant to Clause 6.3, the Company shall maintain permanent statutory committees to advise the Board of Directors: the Finance and Investments Committee, Strategy, Sustainability and Communication Committee, People and Organization Committee, Health, Safety and Environment Committee (HSE) and Compliance and Audit Committee (CAC). Each Party is entitled to appoint at least one representative to each committee, whether statutory or otherwise, regardless of consensus. The Board of Directors shall allocate committee members based on experience and qualifications, and committee composition may include individuals who are not members of the Board or Company personnel.

Petrobras and FIP shall each have the right to appoint an equal number of executive officers, without the need for consensus, subject to the requirements set forth in the internal rules of the People and Organization Committee. The positions of CEO and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer shall be appointed on a rotating basis between the Parties. Without rotation, Petrobras shall be entitled to appoint the Chief Engineering, Technology and Innovation Officer, the Chief Consumer Market and Logistics Officer, and the Chief Operations Officer, while FIP shall be entitled to appoint the Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Officer, the Chief Governance and Compliance Officer, and the Chief Legal Officer.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

 
 

Clause 7.2 grants the Parties a mutual right of first refusal with respect to the acquisition of all Bound Shares, or subscription rights, in the event that either Party intends to transfer its entire equity interest, directly or indirectly, subject to formal procedures, deadlines and conditions equivalent to those offered by third-party purchasers.

 

Tag-Along Right

 

Alternatively, Clause 7.3 ensures that the non-offering Party has the right to participate in the sale under a tag-along mechanism, ensuring that its shares are sold proportionally, at the same price and under the same terms and conditions offered to the third-party acquirer, without joint liability for ancillary obligations of the selling Party.

 

Lock-Up

 

Clause 7.4 imposes additional restrictions on transfers by FIP, including:

  • a lock-up period lasting until the later of (i) two years from the Effective Date or (ii) the achievement of the Company’s Financial Target (Clause 7.4.1);
  • following two years from the Effective Date and until the Financial Target is achieved, transfers are permitted subject to compliance with the right of first refusal, tag-along rights, adhesion of the purchaser to the Agreement and, in certain cases, Petrobras’ prior approval (Clause 7.4.2);
  • after the lock-up period, transfers may occur through market transactions without the application of right of first refusal or tag-along, subject to applicable corporate approvals (Clauses 7.4.3 and 7.4.4).

 

The Financial Target is defined as the Company achieving, for any three consecutive quarters, a consolidated Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.5 or lower, based on the last twelve months, as calculated or validated by the Company’s independent auditors, with at least one of such quarters having been subject to a full audit.

 

Migration to Novo Mercado

The agreement establishes joint control of Braskem by Petrobras and Shine I FIP.

How long will the Petrobras–FIP shareholders’ agreement at Braskem (BAK) remain in force?

The agreement runs for 30 years from the closing date of the related share transaction. It can end earlier if Petrobras and FIP together fall below 50% of Braskem’s outstanding common shares or if FIP transfers at least 5% of common shares to third parties, triggering Petrobras’ termination right.

How does the new shareholders’ agreement affect Braskem (BAK)'s board and executive management?

Braskem’s board will have 11 members, including three independent directors, with Petrobras and FIP each appointing the same number. The executive board will have eight officers, also split equally between the parties, with specific key roles, such as CEO and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, rotating between Petrobras and FIP.

What transfer restrictions and rights apply to Braskem (BAK) shares under the agreement?

Petrobras and FIP receive mutual rights of first refusal and tag-along protection for bound shares. FIP faces a lock-up until the later of two years after the effective date or achievement of a defined Financial Target, after which transfer conditions gradually ease while respecting specified corporate approvals and procedures.

What is the Financial Target defined in Braskem (BAK)'s shareholders’ agreement?

The Financial Target is a consolidated Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.5 or lower for any three consecutive quarters, calculated over the last twelve months. It must be calculated or validated by independent auditors, and at least one of those quarters must have undergone a full audit for the target to be met.

How is Braskem (BAK)'s potential migration to B3 Novo Mercado linked to the agreement?
