Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Braskem S.A. responds to a request from the Brazilian securities regulator about a press report on its negotiations with financial creditors. The company recalls it hired financial and legal advisors in September 2025 to evaluate alternatives to optimize its capital structure and has since been exchanging information and non-binding, indicative proposals with certain holders and managers of its Senior Notes and Debentures regarding a potential capital-structure reorganization.

Braskem notes that a São Paulo Judicial Reorganization Court granted precautionary injunctive relief, including a 60-day stay of enforcement actions by creditors invited to a mediation before the Wind Mediation Chamber. Proposals received so far contemplate a possible capitalization and the granting of security interests over assets, which remain under analysis. As of the date of the communication, no decision has been reached on restructuring terms, and the company states it is committed to pursuing a consensual, orderly solution while maintaining normal operations.

Senior Notes financial
"certain holders of, and investment managers for, one or more of the Senior Notes"
Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.
Debentures financial
"Senior Notes and Debentures issued or guaranteed by Braskem"
A debenture is a company’s long-term IOU sold to investors that promises regular interest payments and repayment of principal at a set date; unlike equity, it represents debt rather than ownership. Think of it like lending money to a business in exchange for a fixed stream of payments, so investors watch a debenture’s interest rate and the borrower’s financial health to judge income reliability and risk of not being repaid.

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

We refer to Official Letter 231/2026/CVM/SEP/GEA-1 “Official Letter”), dated July 27, 2026, through which you requested clarifications from Braskem S.A. ("Braskem" or "Company"), as detailed below:

 

“Dear Director,

 

We refer to the news article published on this date in the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, News section, under the headline: " Near the court-imposed deadline, the deadlock between Braskem and its creditors continues", which includes the following statements:

 

[...]

The providing of capital, of course, requires consideration: they are requesting that all of the Company's assets be pledged as collateral.

[...]

 

In view of the above, we request that you clarify whether the news is true and, if so, explain the reasons why it was not considered a material fact, as well as comment on any additional information deemed relevant on the matter.”

 

 

As disclosed in the Material Fact published on September 26, 2025, the Company retained specialized financial and legal advisors to assist it in conducting a comprehensive assessment of economic and financial alternatives aimed at optimizing its capital structure.

 

As disclosed in the Material Fact published on June 25, 2026, the Company and certain holders of, and investment managers for, one or more of the Senior Notes and Debentures issued or guaranteed by Braskem (“Investors”), together with their respective advisors, have been exchanging information and non-binding, indicative proposals regarding terms and conditions in the context of a potential reorganization of the Company’s capital structure (“Restructuring”).

 

In addition, as disclosed in the Material Facts published on June 25 and 26, 2026, the Court of the 2nd Bankruptcy and Judicial Reorganization Court of the Judicial District of the Capital of the State of São Paulo (2ª Vara de Falências e Recuperações Judiciais da Comarca da Capital do Estado de São Paulo), within the scope of the Precautionary Injunctive Relief proceeding (Tutela de Urgência Cautelar), filed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, has granted the requests, among other measures, order the stay of all enforcement actions and attachments by creditors that have been invited to participate in the mediation proceeding initiated by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries before the Wind Mediation Chamber (Câmara Wind de Mediação), with such stay remaining in effect for a period of 60 days.

 

Since then, and as clarified in the response to B3 Letter No. 219/2026-SLE disclosed by the Company in its Notice to the Market dated July 21, 2026, the Company and its advisors have continued to engage with creditors and their advisors, having received merely indicative and non-binding proposals from groups of creditors regarding the key terms and tentative parameters for a potential Restructuring.
