Dear Managers,
In reference to Official Letter 1540/2017-SAE (“Letter”), dated September 20, 2017, through which you requested clarifications from Braskem S.A. (“Braskem” or “Company”), as transcribed below:
“Ref.: Request for clarification of news report
Dear Managers,
The article published in the newspaper
Valor Econômico
, entitled “Braskem terá apenas ações ordinárias” [Braskem to have only common shares], on September 20, 2017, states, among other things, that:
1.
Braskem will soon announce its decision to convert preferred shares (PN) into common shares (ON);
2.
This is part of a broader restructuring project that includes the a share offering, so that Petrobras can sell its shares during trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE);
3.
The expectation is that shares will be converted at the ratio of one preferred share for each common share.”
In this regard, Braskem clarifies to the market and its shareholders that it is constantly analyzing operations with the potential to create value for the Company and consequently for all of its shareholders, however, at this point, no in-depth study of the alleged ownership restructuring has been conducted.
For more information, contact Braskem’s Investor Relations Department by calling +55 (11) 3576-9531 or by sending an e-mail to braskem-ri@braskem.com.br
.
Sincerely,
Pedro van Langendonck Teixeira de Freitas
Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer
