São Paulo, August 20, 2021 – Braskem S.A (“Braskem” or “Company”) (B3: BRKM3, BRKM5 and BRKM6; NYSE: BAK; LATIBEX: XBRK), due to news published in the media regarding the public offering of the Company's shares as a possible strategy for the way out of the shareholders, it communicates to the market that is not aware of the information contained in the referred news and, as mentioned in other opportunities, it is not part of any discussions by its shareholders about the sale of its equity stake, reason why requested clarifications to its shareholders Novonor and Petrobras, which informed the following:

(A) Novonor:

“We refer to your email from yesterday, August 19, 2021, through which you request clarifications on the news published on Bloomberg, on August 19, 2021, under the title "Braskem share offering returns to the table as a way out of the shareholders".

In this regard, as you know and the market, Novonor is considering a potential transaction involving Novonor S.A.'s stake in Braskem and, in this context, is evaluating potential structures for such transaction. However, there are not enough elements to ensure the completion of any transaction, nor has any structure been defined for this purpose. In this context, as of now, there is no additional information to be provided on the subject.”

(B) Petrobras:

In response to your question and CVM rules, Petrobras clarifies that there is no definition or decision on the form of divestment of its participation in Braskem, and it is important to emphasize that, as informed on 08/09/2021, it hired JP Morgan for financial advice on the eventual and future transaction related to its participation in the company.”
