In this regard, Braskem clarifies that due to lots of news published on the media on May 5, 2023, about sales process of Braskem, the Company, which does not conduct any negotiations of its shareholders on the sale of shares of its issue, questioned its controlling shareholder, on May 5, 2023, being Novonor clarified as described below:

 

“In response to your request, Novonor informs that, since our last manifestations and until the present moment, we have not received any proposal from potential interested parties that would imply material or binding evolution in the discussions we have been having with the five banks that hold the fiduciary alienation of our indirect participation in Braskem S.A.

 

We remain at your disposal for any further clarifications.”

 

Given the atypical fluctuation of shares issued by the Company recorded on May 5, 2023, the clarifications sent by Novonor to the Company were timely disclosed to the market through a Material Fact on May 5, 2023, itself.

 

In addition, also in the context of the news published in the media regarding a possible proposal for the purchase of control of Braskem, the Company received additional information from Novonor on May 7, 2023, which was disclosed to the market by the Company through a new Material Fact on May 8, 2023, as described below:

 

"Dear Sirs, we inform that after our last message to you, we have received a proposal, nonbinding, which will be evaluated in conjunction with the other interested parties. We will keep you informed should there be any material developments on the subject.”

 

 

Finally, regarding the period between April 20, 2023, and May 4, 2023, Braskem clarifies that it is not aware of a material act or fact not disclosed by the Company that justifies the fluctuations registered with the shares issued by the Company in the mentioned period and informs that during the period, reports from market analysts were released with the preliminary estimate for the operating and financial result for the first quarter of 2023.
