Ref.: Braskem S.A.'s Shareholders Agreement - Independence Members of the Board of Directors

Dear Sirs,

Reference is made to the shareholders' agreement of Braskem S.A. ("Company" or "Braskem"), entered into between Novonor S.A. - Em Recuperação Judicial ("Novonor"),

NSP Investimentos S.A. - Em Recuperação Judicial ("NSP") and Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras ("Petrobras"), to inform the following.

In the Shareholders' Agreement, the shareholders established rules to regulate, among other things the appointment of members to the Board of Directors and the exercise of voting rights by the Shareholders and, as the case may be, by the directors appointed by them, with the power to bind the votes of said directors, in the form of the Shareholders' Agreement and article 118 of Law 6.404/1976 ("Brazilian Corporate Law").

As you know, Law 14.195/2021 recently introduced §2 to article 140 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, establishing the mandatory participation of independent members on the board of directors of publicly-held companies "under the terms and deadlines defined by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission".

As a result of the legal command, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) amended Annex K of CVM Resolution 80/22^[1] to regulate the matter, providing, among other rules, that (i) the number of independent directors on the board of directors must correspond to at least 20% of the total number of directors (a requirement already provided for in Braskem's bylaws); and (ii) candidates for the position of director who are bound by a shareholders' agreement to vote at meetings of the board of directors, among other criteria, will not be considered independent^[2].

^[1]CVM issued CVM Resolution No. 168 to amend CVM Resolution No. 59, which in turn amended CVM Resolution No. 80

^[2]Art. 6 The classification of independent directors must take into account their relationship with: (...) Paragraph 1 For the purposes of verifying the classification of independent directors, independent directors are not considered to be those who: (...) II - have their voting rights at meetings of the board of directors bound by a shareholders' agreement on matters related to the company

In view of the application of these provisions to Braskem at the next election of the Company's Board of Directors, to be held at the 2024 Annual General Meeting, and despite the fact that the directors appointed under the Shareholders' Agreement, especially those classified as independent, have historically not had their votes actually guided or bound at the meetings of the Board of Directors, the Shareholders formalize and inform the following, so that there is no doubt: that the members of the Board of Directors who may be elected by the Shareholders pursuant to the Shareholders' Agreement and who are classified by them as independent directors under the terms of the regulations in force will not have the exercise of their voting rights in any way bound under the terms of the Shareholders' Agreement ("Non-Bound Directors").

Finally, the Shareholders authorize the Company to disclose the contents of this letter in order to make its terms transparent.

Sincerely,

Novonor S.A. - Em Recuperação Judicial

NSP Investimentos S.A. - Em Recuperação Judicial

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras
