Insights
CADE cleared a potential deal structure, but terms remain non-binding and negotiations continue.
The disclosure centers on Brazil’s antitrust authority CADE granting unanimous, unrestricted approval to Concentration Act No. 08700.006808/2025-81, a filing made by NSP Investimentos S.A. and Petroquímica Verde Fundo de Investimento em Participações – Multistrategy. This indicates that, from a competition-law perspective, the structure described in that act has passed regulatory review at the Tribunal level.
However, the notice explicitly states that the act’s terms and conditions are neither definitive nor binding for any potential transaction. Ongoing negotiations between NSP Investimentos and the Fund may still alter key elements or even the feasibility of a deal. For Braskem, the main takeaway is that one important regulatory hurdle has been addressed, but the economic and transactional contours are still being shaped by the counterparties.
Braskem commits to updating the market on material developments, aligning with disclosure duties for events that may affect shareholders and other stakeholders. Actual impact on the company will depend on whether NSP Investimentos and the Fund eventually agree on final terms following CADE’s approval, and how any such arrangement interacts with prior material facts referenced by the company.
