Braskem is set to file for extrajudicial recovery, aiming to restructure around R$ 54 billion in debt. The move, supported by over a third of creditors, grants the company 90 days of protection against debt executions. Key creditors include bondholders and banks such as Banco do Brasil, BNDES, Itaú Unibanco, Bradesco, and Santander.

Braskem's main shareholders, Petrobras and IG4, have agreed to consider a potential capital increase as part of the negotiations. The company's US subsidiary, Braskem Idesa, recently filed for Chapter 11 in the US with a pre-agreed restructuring plan.
