Braskem SA ( (BAK) ) has shared an update.

On December 18, 2025, Braskem S.A. entered into a series of long‑term related‑party contracts with major shareholder and supplier Petrobras to secure petrochemical naphtha and storage capacity for its main Brazilian petrochemical complexes from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2030. The agreements cover annual naphtha purchases ranging from 1.5 million to 1.7 million tons for the São Paulo complex, 280,000 to 2,016,000 tons via maritime transport for the Bahia and Rio Grande do Sul complexes, and rising volumes of 100,000 to 300,000 tons per year via the REFAP refinery for the Rio Grande do Sul plant, plus dedicated and progressively reduced storage space at REFAP tanks over the contract period, all priced on international benchmarks. Braskem’s management emphasized that the terms reflect market-based pricing, and the company noted that Petrobras and its management did not participate in Braskem’s internal decision-making on the deals, signaling an effort to demonstrate arm’s-length conditions in a material related-party transaction that underpins the security and predictability of feedstock supply for Braskem’s Brazilian operations over the next five years.
