NOTICE TO THE MARKET

 

São Paulo, January 3, 2023 - BRASKEM S.A. (“Braskem” or “Company”) (B3: BRKM3, BRKM5 e BRKM6; NYSE: BAK; LATIBEX: XBRK) hereby announces to its shareholders and the market that the Board of Directors approved the hiring of KPMG Auditores Independentes Ltda. ("KPMG") to provide auditing services of the annual financial statements and review of the Company's quarterly information for the fiscal years from 2023 to 2025, according to Brazilian legislation and regulations, replacing Grant Thornton Auditores Independentes ("Grant Thornton").

KPMG audited the Company's financial statements from 2015 to 2019 and, due to the mandatory rotation of independent auditors provided for in article 31 of CVM Resolution No. 23/21, it was replaced by Grant Thornton from 2020 to 2022. Considering the entire background of Braskem's operations that KPMG has, which facilitates synergy in the performance of its audit activities, the Company opted for this change and had the consent of Grant Thornton.

The Company also informs that KPMG will continue to provide auditing services to comply with US legislation and regulations.

For more information, contact Braskem's Investor Relations Department by calling +55 (11) 3576-9531 or emailing braskem-ri@braskem.com.br.

This Notice to the Market may contain forward-looking statements. These statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on the current view and estimates of the Company's management regarding future economic and other circumstances, industry conditions, financial performance and results, the geological event in Alagoas and related legal procedures and from COVID-19 on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results. The words “project,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan” and other similar expressions, when referring to the Company, are used to identify forward-looking statements.

The statements are based on various assumptions and factors, including general economic and market conditions, industry conditions and operating factors. Any change in these assumptions or factors, including the projected impact from the joint venture and its development of technologies, from the geological event in Alagoas and related legal procedures and the unprecedented impact from COVID-19 on businesses, employees, service providers, shareholders, investors and other stakeholders of the Company could cause effective results to differ significantly from current expectations.
