Business Context and Reporting Period
Company: Braskem S.A.
Filing Type: Form 6-K (Report of Foreign Private Issuer)
Reporting Period: June 2026 (Filing Date: June 5, 2026)
Subject: First Amendment to the Shareholders' Agreement between Petrobras and Shine I Multi-Strategy Equity Investment Fund (the "Fund").
This filing discloses amendments to the governance framework established following the Fund's acquisition of approximately 34.3% of Braskem's total capital in April 2026. The agreement governs shared control between Petrobras and the Fund, focusing on financial restructuring and operational transformation.
Key Financial Metrics and Capital Structure
The filing does not provide current revenue, profit, cash flow, or margin data for the period ended June 30, 2026. However, it defines critical financial targets and capital structure details within the Shareholders' Agreement:
- Share Capital: BRL 8,043,222,080.50, divided into 797,207,834 shares (451,668,652 common; 345,060,392 Class A preferred; 478,790 Class B preferred).
- Shareholder Ownership (Effective Date):
- Petrobras: 36.1% of total capital (47.03% of common shares).
- Shine I Fund: 34.3% of total capital (50.11% of common shares).
- Financial Target: The Company must achieve a Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.5x or less for three consecutive quarters to trigger migration to the "Novo Mercado" segment of the B3 stock exchange.
- Lock-Up Period: The Fund is restricted from transferring shares for 2 years or until the Financial Target is achieved, whichever is later.
Material Changes and Governance Amendments
The First Amendment introduces significant changes to the company's governance structure and decision-making authority:
- Board of Directors Powers: Authority to approve out-of-court reorganization and, in cases of urgency, judicial reorganization or bankruptcy filings has been transferred from the General Meeting to the Board of Directors.
- Executive Board Restructuring:
- The "Transformation Officer" is now a statutory member of the Executive Board, replacing the "Governance and Compliance Officer" in that capacity.
- The former Governance and Compliance Officer is re-designated as "Compliance and Conformity Officer," a non-statutory role reporting functionally to the Board and administratively to the CEO.
- The Executive Board now consists of 8 statutory officers.
- Compensation: Compensation for Board members serving on Committees or the Executive Board is now cumulative.
- Transformation Committee: A new non-statutory committee linked to the Executive Board has been created to oversee the financial transformation process, chaired by the Transformation Officer.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Strategic Outlook: The primary objective is the enhancement of company value through financial restructuring and operational efficiency. The parties are committed to migrating Braskem to the "Novo Mercado" segment once the Net Debt/EBITDA target is met.
- Dispute Resolution: Disagreements between shareholders regarding resolutions will follow a specific escalation path: Preliminary Meeting -> Deliberation Disagreement Meeting -> Second Deliberation Disagreement Meeting -> Arbitration (CAM-CCBC or B3 Chamber).
- Key Risks:
- Geological Event: The filing references a "geological event of Alagoas" and related legal proceedings as a factor in forward-looking statements, though specific financial impacts are not detailed in this text.
- Control Stability: The agreement includes strict provisions to maintain parity between Petrobras and the Fund, including restrictions on share transfers and requirements for consensus on major decisions.
Investor Verification Checklist
