The company said the restructuring is intended to provide a stable and protected legal environment for negotiating and implementing the restructuring of those obligations. Braskem said the process has a strictly financial scope and does not cover obligations to suppliers, customers or other stakeholders, which will continue to be fulfilled as usual. Braskem said it will file the petition once the relevant documents have been formalized and will provide further updates through its investor relations website and regulatory channels.
