NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
Pursuant to article 21-A, paragraph 6, of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) Instruction No. 481, dated as of December 17, 2009 (“CVM Instruction 481/09”) and CVM/SEP Circular Letter No. 2/2020, Braskem S.A. ("Braskem" or "Company") (Ticker B3: BRKM3, BRKM5 e BRKM6) notify its shareholders and the market that that, on this date, the Remote Voting Form disclosed on April 28, 2020 (“Voting Form”), regarding subjects of the Company’s Annual General Meeting to be held on May 29, 2020 ("AGM"), was resubmitted. The resubmission of the Voting Form relates to:
(i) the inclusion of Mr. Lírio Albino Parisottoas a candidate for the separate election of an effective member of the Company’s Board of Directors appointed by minority shareholders with preferred shares, pursuant to article 141, paragraph 4, item "II", of Law No. 6,404, dated as of December 15, 1976, ("Brazilian Corporate Law"); and
(ii) the inclusion of Mrs. Heloísa Belotti Bedicks and Mr. Reginaldo Ferreira Alexandre as candidates for the separate election of effective and alternate members, respectively, of the Company’s Fiscal Council appointed by minority shareholders with preferred shares, pursuant to article 161, §4º, item "a", of the Brazilian Corporate Law.
Therefore, items 11 and 12 related to the separate election of the Board of Directors by shareholders with preferred shares were included in the Voting Form, in accordance with item “i” above, as well as item 18 for inclusion of the separate election of the Fiscal Council by shareholders with preferred shares, in accordance with item “ii” above.
The resubmission of the Voting Form occurs under the terms of article 21-A, paragraph 3, item “I” of CVM Instruction 481/09, without affecting any of the proposals related to the AGM previously provided for in the Voting Form, so that the votes contained in the Voting Forms eventually sent to the Company will be considered valid. Nevertheless, in case the shareholder intends to send a new Voting Form in order to replace the previous one, shall perform it in compliance with the limit deadline previously established, of seven (7) days before the AGM, that is, until May 22, 2020, as provided for in CVM Instruction 481/09 and in the Bulletin.
GED - 4840504v1
Lastly, in order to avoid that the voting instructions of the shareholders who might have already sent the Voting Form to the Company should be considered conflicting, the Company recommends that the shareholders forward their eventual new voting instructions to the same service provider previously used.
The Company's Investor Relations Department is at your disposal for any further clarifications that might be necessary.
Camaçari/BA, May 8, 2020.
