TO BE HELD ON APRIL 28, 2017

 

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

The Management of Braskem S.A. (“ Company ” or “ Braskem ”) hereby submits this management proposal (“ Proposal ”) to the Ordinary General Meeting of Braskem, to be held on April 28, 2017 (“ Meeting ”), in compliance with the provision set forth in the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (“CVM”) Ruling 481, of December 17, 2009, as amended (“ CVM Ruling 481 ”).

 

First, the Company's Management would like to inform the Shareholders that, as disclosed in the Material Facts of February 21, 2017 and March 28, 2017, on the date hereof the Company has not yet completed its audited financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2016 (“ Financial Statements ”), due to the execution of the global leniency agreement with the public authorities which is the subject matter of Material Facts of December 14 and 21, 2016, and the Company has performed and is performing the necessary appraisals on its processes and controls, which had an impact on the work schedule before the independent auditors.  

 

Therefore, the Company will continue to employ its best efforts to conclude the preparation of its audited financial statements as soon as possible and reaffirms that it does not expect any significant changes from the unaudited results disclosed earlier. 

 

As such, the Annual Shareholders Meeting scheduled for April 28, 2017 will consider and vote on the following: (i) election of members of the Audit Board; and (ii) annual and overall compensation of Managers and Audit Board members for fiscal year 2017.

 

Once the audited financial statements are published, a Shareholders Meeting will be called to: (i) examine, discuss and vote on the Management Report and respective management accounts, and on the financial statements of the Company for fiscal year 2016; and (ii) consider and vote on the allocation of the net income from fiscal year 2016.  

 

In view of the foregoing and considering the Company's interest, the Management presents the following information with regard to the matters included in the agenda for the mentioned Meeting:

 

 

 

 

1.         Resolve on the election of the members of the Company’s Fiscal Board:

Exhibit I to this Proposal includes the list and information about the candidates recommended by the Company’s Management, as set forth in Article 10 of CVM Ruling 481/09.

 

2.         Resolve on the annual and global compensation for the managers and members of the Fiscal Board for the financial year ending on December 31, 2017:

 

The total amount proposed for the financial year of 2017 related to the overall compensation of the Managers in 2017 is BRL 46,454 thousand, including fixed and variable fees related to payroll charges recognized in the Company's results and benefits. Moreover, the Management proposes for the financial year of 2017 the amount of BRL 808 thousand concerning compensation to the Fiscal Board’s members, in compliance with the provision of article 162, Paragraph 3, of the Corporation Law; therefore, totaling a global compensation to the Managers and the Fiscal Board in the amount of BRL 47,262 thousand.

 

Pursuant to article 12 of CVM Ruling 481, this Proposal contains thorough information referring to the setting of compensation for Managers and members of the Fiscal Board, pursuant to Exhibits II and III hereto.

 

The annual and global compensation amount proposed above is based on a composition estimate for Managers’ fees pursuant to market reference, considering monthly fees (offset arising from inflation and merits), variable fees (according to seniority and challenges) and short-term benefits.

MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL

TO

TO THE ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF BRASKEM S.A.

TO BE HELD ON APRIL 28, 2017

 

Proposal for the compensation of managers, pursuant to information contained in item 13 of the Reference Form, pursuant to article 12, item II, of CVM Ruling 481.

 

 

13. Compensation of the Managers;

13.1. Describe the compensation policy or practice for the Board of Directors, statutory and non-statutory Executive Officers, Fiscal Board, statutory committees and audit, risk, financial and compensation committees, addressing the following aspects:

(a)       (a) objectives of the compensation policy or practice

The Company adopts a competitive and transparent compensation system for all of its members, which seeks to attract and retain the best professionals in the market, as well as allow the collective and individual management of the compensation of its members. The Company compensates its managers based on market practices and in accordance with their duties and responsibilities in the actual running of the Company’s businesses. In case of statutory and non-statutory Officers, the variable Compensation Policy allows the sharing of risk and results between the Company and its main executives.

(b)       composition of the compensation

(i)        description of the compensation elements and their respective objectives

Board of Directors

The sitting members of the Board of Directors and the Fiscal Board are compensated by means of fees (fixed compensation). Such form of compensation aims to remunerate the members of the Board of Directors according to their duties and responsibilities in the actual running of the Company’s businesses.

Statutory and Non-Statutory Executive Board

The members of the Statutory and Non-Statutory Executive Board are entitled to a monthly fixed compensation and to variable short-term compensation, contingent upon both their individual performance in overcoming the pre-agreed results and the existence of economic results.

14


 

 

The Officers are also entitled to the benefits offered by the Company to all of its other members, such as medical and dental assistance, food and supplementary pension plan. Such benefits complement the compensation package thereof, composing the total compensation earned.

Lastly, the Company does not offer compensation based on shares.

Fiscal Board

The sitting members of the Fiscal Board are compensated with fees (fixed compensation, which does not include benefits). Such fees shall be the highest of (i) the monthly fixed amount established at the Company's ordinary shareholders' meeting that elects the Fiscal Board; or (ii) the minimum limit established in paragraph 3 of article 162 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

Such form of compensation aims to remunerate the members of the Fiscal Board according to their duties and responsibilities in the actual running of the Company’s businesses.

Committees

The Company differentiates between the monthly fees of the Committee Coordinators, who are independent members, according to their responsibilities.

(ii)       with regard to the last three financial years, the proportion of each element in the total compensation:

The proportion of each element in the total compensation of each body of the Company's Management for the last three financial years is described as follows.

(iii)      calculation and adjustment methodology of the individual compensation elements

Board of Directors

The monthly compensation of the members of the Board of Directors is obtained through specialized annual surveys and references from similar companies. The compensation strategy seeks to differentiate among the fees paid to independent members, as well as to the Committee Coordinators according to their complexities and attributions.

Statutory and Non-Statutory Executive Board

The fixed compensation amounts paid by the Company to members of the statutory and non-statutory Executive Board are compared annually with market references by means of specialized research, in such a way as to enable the assessment of its competitiveness and eventually evaluate the need to adjust the fees or certain components of compensation.

The monthly fixed compensation bands, based on the market Median, are determined based on:

       85% of the market Median (Development Band)

       Market Median in its central reference (Market’s Target Band)

       115% of the market Median (Advanced Performance Band)

Variable compensation is determined by results from the equation of the third quartile of the market total remuneration, excluding benefits and monthly fixed compensation.

The Company offers the same benefits package to all of its members, including statutory and non-statutory Officers.

Fiscal Board

The monthly compensation of the members is determined by means of specialized surveys, through a comparison with companies of similar size, with due regard to the minimum amount set forth by article 162, paragraph 3 of Law 6,404/76.

Committees

16


 

 

The Company differentiates the monthly fees for the Committee Coordinators, who are independent Directors, in accordance with their responsibilities, taking the annual market references into consideration.

(iv)      reasons that justify the composition of the compensation

Board of Directors

References are obtained through the results of specialized surveys conducted with companies of a size similar to that of the Company.

The Company understands that the members of the Board of Directors should only be entitled to fixed compensation in order to reflect the recognition given to their supervisory and guiding function in the Company's businesses, however without being involved in their execution.

Statutory and Non-Statutory Executive Board

The composition of the compensation of the Company’s Officers aims to attract and retain the best professionals based on the market’s practices regarding fixed compensation, variable compensation and the corresponding benefits package for each position. The Company has a more aggressive practice regarding variable remuneration, as it understands that this way, it aligns the interests of Officers with those of the Company, sharing the risks and results of the Company with its main executives, seeking to obtain gains through the commitment to long-term results and short-term performance.

The distribution of the compensation between fixed and variable portions, and benefits, practiced in the financial year ended at December 31, 2016 and that foreseen for the financial year ending on December 31, 2017, has an emphasis on variable compensation, and are thus in line with the objectives of the Compensation Policy adopted by the Company.

Fiscal Board

References are obtained by means of the results of specialized surveys conducted with companies of similar size to the Company, with due regard to the provisions of article 162, paragraph 3 of the Brazilian Corporation Law regarding legal minimum compensation.

Committees

The composition of the compensation is in line with market practices compared to similarly sized companies and the differentiations established for independent board members, members and leaders of committees have become necessary in order to be in line with their duties and responsibilities.

(v)       non-compensated members

Alternate members of the Board of Directors are not compensated by the Company

 

17


 

 

(c)       main performance indicators taken into account upon determination of each element of compensation

Board of Directors

The fixed monthly compensation of the Board of Directors is determined based on market research, taking into account their responsibilities and attributions in the exercise of their functions. There is no performance indicator for determining variable compensation since this group is not really eligible for such.

Statutory and Non-Statutory Executive Board

The classification of the monthly compensation for each Officer depends on the assessment of the complexity of his/her program, as well as on their individual performance. On the other hand, variable compensation is contingent to the evaluation and  the fulfillment of individual targets related to the challenges of their programs of action for the year, as well as to the Company's operational and economic performance within the period in question, considering the following elements: (i) operating EBITDA, (ii) working capital variation, (iii) operating investment (CAPEX), and (iv) payment of dividends.

Fiscal Board

The fixed monthly compensation of the Fiscal Board is determined by means of market research taking into account their responsibilities and attributions in the exercise of their functions. There is no performance indicator for determining variable compensation since this group is not really eligible for such. However, it is worth noting that the minimum amount established by article 162, paragraph 3 of the Brazilian Corporate Law is observed.

Committees

The fixed monthly compensation for the Committee coordinators is determined by means of market research, taking into account their responsibilities and attributions in the exercise of their functions. There is no performance indicator for determining variable compensation since this group is not really eligible for such.

(d)       how compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of performance indicators

Board of Directors

Not applicable, given that the members of the Board of Directors are not eligible for variable compensation.

Statutory and Non-Statutory Executive Board

The changes in the variable compensation items are directly related to the individual performance of our officers and the Company and to the achievement of the targets established for a given period.

Fiscal Board

Not applicable, given that the members of the Company’s Fiscal Board are not eligible for variable compensation.

18


 

 

Committees

Not applicable, given that the members of the Company’s Committees are not eligible for variable compensation.

(e)       how the compensation policy or practice is aligned with the interests of the issuer in the short, medium and long term

The compensation strategy is linked to factors and premises that make it more (i) equitable (remunerate proportionally, according to skills, professional qualification and impact on results), (ii) competitive (suitable to market standards), (iii) efficient (regarding the costs for the Company) and (iv) safe (committed to the continuity of the business).

To the extent that the short, medium and long term targets are met, more results are generated for the Company, which in turn distributes such results in the form of fixed short-term compensation, medium-term variable compensation and, as the case may be, of long-term incentives. This cycle makes the Company grow and develop in pursuit of its perpetuity.

(f)        existence of compensation supported by direct or indirect subsidiaries, controlled or controlling companies

There is no compensation supported by direct or indirect subsidiaries, controlled or controlling companies of the Company.

(g)       existence of any compensation or benefit linked to the occurrence of a given corporate event, such as the disposal of corporate control of the issuer

There are no remuneration elements associated with the occurrence of corporate events.

13.8 - Information required for the comprehension of the data disclosed in items 13.5 to 13.7 – Method for pricing the value of shares and of options

(a)       pricing method

Until 2014, when the Long-Term Incentive Plan was in force, the value of the Investment Units, composed of ALFA and BETA Units, had the following price:

ALFA value based, in average, on 6 months (October to March each year) of the BRKM5 share quote. Amount frozen for 1 year (until the end of March of the next year).

BETA value based on the methodology explained in item (b) below.

(b)       data and premises used in the pricing method, including the weighted average price for the shares, exercise price, expected volatility, term of effectiveness of the option, expected dividends and risk-free interest rate

Option Pricing (Beta Certificate) – Black & Scholes

(i)     Share value on the calculation base date: average of 6 months (October to March each year) of the BRKM5 quote

(ii)    Strike - zero value since there will be no disbursement on the part of the employee

(iii)   Time - the "implementation" of the plan will take place in 10 years

(iv) Risk-free - risk-free interest rate (current Selic Target)

(v)   Volatility - calculated based on the BRKM5 share price for the last 3 years.

(vi) Dividends Yield - ascertained based on the business plan (6% in perpetuity)

(c)       method used and premises assumed to incorporate the expected effects of early exercise

The effects of the offsetting of the Plan were calculated every quarter, by which time one (01) Braskem share represented "Alfa" and "Gama" investment certificates and one (01) Beta share represented one Braskem share "minus" dividends paid. The alfa units were multiplied by the share price (average of 6 months) and the beta units were multiplied by the option premium. The sum of the fair value of alfa + beta is deducted from the historical value of the options and the amount is accrued for in the balance sheet.

(d)       method of determination of the expected volatility

Calculated based on the BRKM5 share price for the last 3 years.

(e)       if any other characteristic of the option were incorporated in the calculation of its fair value

There are no other characteristics except for those already described above.
