Re.: Official Letter 246/2023-SLS - Braskem - Request for clarification on news published in the press

 

Dear Sirs,

 

We refer to Official Letter nº 246/2023-SLS ("Letter"), dated of 02.08.2023, which you requested clarifications from Braskem S.A. ("Braskem" or "Company"), as transcribed below:

 

“Dear Sirs,

 

In the news article published by the newspaper Valor Econômico, on 02.08.2023, entitled “Braskem prepares to issue up to US$ 1 billion in bonds abroad”, which includes the statements, among other information, that:

 

1.the value of the operation has not yet been defined, but it is estimated to be between US$750 million and US$1 billion;
2.the term should be six or ten years.

 

We request clarification on the marked items, until 02.09.2023, with your confirmation or not, as well as other information considered important.

 

In this regard, we clarify that part of the Company's financial management strategy is to constantly monitor the domestic and international capital markets and the opportunities they offer to access financing, refinancing and extending its debt profile. These opportunities are analyzed by the Company's management together with its advisors, to assess whether they fit the profile sought by Braskem.

 
 

In this context, the Company's Board of Directors approved on 02.06.2023 the issuance abroad of debt securities by Braskem's subsidiary, guaranteed by Braskem, according to the minutes of the Board of Directors' Meeting filed on the same day 02.06.2023 in the system IPE. Additionally, the bookbuilding of the operation was carried out at the end of 02.08.2023, which determined the terms of this operation in the amount of US$1 billion with a term of 10 years. Being what we had for the moment, we subscribe, making ourselves available for any further clarifications if that may be need.
