NOTICE TO THE MARKET
São Paulo, December
4, 2023 – Braskem S.A. ("Braskem" or "Company") (Ticker B3: BRKM3, BRKM5 and BRKM6; NYSE: BAK; LATIBEX:
XBRK), in relation to the geological event in Alagoas and the information recently released in the media, it is hereby informing its shareholders
and the market what follows.
Braskem's rock salt extraction
activities in Alagoas were terminated in May 2019, as previously disclosed to the market, and the Company, since then, has been adopting
measures to definitively close the salt wells (“Cavities”), according to the plan and timeline presented to the authorities,
and approved by the National Mining Agency (“Definitive Closure Plan”).
The actions of the Definitive
Closure Plan for the 35 Cavities have already reached 70% progress, and completion is scheduled for mid-2025, as detailed below:
(i) 9 Cavities
were recommended to be filled with sand. Of these, 5 have already been filled, 3 have filling work in progress, and 1 is already pressurized,
indicating that filling is no longer necessary;
(ii) 5 Cavities
had their self-filling status confirmed; and
(iii) 21 Cavities
are being plugged and/or monitored, and in 7 of them, the work has already been completed.
Additionally, in the context
of preventive soil monitoring that has been carried out since 2019, microseisms and atypical soil movements were recently recorded concentrated
at the Cavity 18 location, with Braskem preventively halting its well filling activities in the area, as well as its activities preparatory
to the beginning of filling Cavity 18.
It is worth noting that
the process of preventive eviction of the area began in December 2019 and that the risk area on the map defined by the Civil Defense of
Maceió is completely unoccupied. The protection area in the Mutange neighborhood, where Cavity 18 is located, was already unoccupied,
with no person residing in that area, since April 2020.
Current monitoring data
demonstrates that the soil movement condition continues to be concentrated in the Cavity 18 area. All data is being shared in real-time
with the authorities, with whom the Company has been working in collaboration, providing all information.
The Company remains mobilized
and continuously monitors the situation with the competent authorities and will keep the market informed of any relevant developments
on the matter.
For more information,
