MATERIAL FACT

 

Braskem S.A. ("Braskem” or “Company"), in compliance with CVM Instruction 358/02, hereby announces to its shareholders and the market that, although it continues to progress on the necessary checks of its internal processes and controls, as announced in the Material Fact notice of February 21, 2017, the depth and detail of these assessments has extended the timeframe of its work with independent auditors and, hence, the Company has yet to finalize its audited financial statements for fiscal year 2016.

Braskem will continue to employ its best efforts to conclude the preparation of its audited financial statements as soon as possible and reaffirms that it does not expect any significant changes from the unaudited results disclosed earlier.

As such, the Annual Shareholders Meeting scheduled for April 28, 2017 will consider and vote on the following: (i) election of members of the Audit Board; and (ii) annual and overall compensation of Managers and Audit Board members for fiscal year 2017.

Once the audited financial statements are published, a Shareholders Meeting will be called to: (i) examine, discuss and vote on the Management Report and respective management accounts, and on the financial statements of the Company for fiscal year 2016; and (ii) consider and vote on the allocation of the net income from fiscal year 2016.

More information can be obtained from Braskem’s Investor Relations Department by calling +55 (11) 3576-9531 or sending an e-mail to braskem-ri@braskem.com.br.
