MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL
FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF BRASKEM S.A.
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 30, 2017
Dear Shareholders,
The management of Braskem S.A. (“Braskem” or “Company”) hereby submits this management proposal (“Proposal”) related to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Braskem, which will be held on November 30, 2017, at 10:00 a.m., at the Company’s principal place of business located at Rua Eteno, nº 1.561, Camaçari/BA (“Meeting”), in compliance with the provision set forth in the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (“CVM”) Ruling No. 481, of December 17, 2009, as amended (“CVM Ruling 481”) and Law Nº. 6.404, of December 15, 1976, as amended (“Brazilian Corporation Law”).
Strictly in compliance with the corporate law and in line with our commitment of continuously seeking the best Corporate Governance practices, we invite the Shareholders to participate in the General Meeting that will address the agenda below, and which will take place on the date, time and location indicated above.
A. Matters of the Meeting Agenda and Management Proposal
1) Ratification of the appointment and engagement of specialized company Apsis Consultoria e Avaliações Ltda. as the responsible for preparing the appraisal report at the book value of Braskem Petroquímica Ltda.’s (“BRK Petroquímica” or “Mergee”) net equity to be used in the merger of BRK Petroquímica into the Company ("Appraisal Report"):
We propose the ratification, by the General Meeting of the Company, of the appointment, by the management of Braskem, of specialized company APSIS Consultoria e Avaliações Ltda., enrolled in National Register of Legal Entities of the Ministry of Finance (CNPJ/MF) under No. 27.281.922/0001-70 (“Apsis”), to prepare the appraisal report at book value of BRK Petroquímica’s net equity ("Appraisal Report").
The information required by Article 21 of CVM Ruling 481 is included in Exhibit I of this Proposal.
1
AMECURRENT 725845548.2 07-nov-17 11:42
2) Evaluation and approval of the Appraisal Report:
We propose the approval of the Appraisal Report, with base date of August 31, 2017, which forms Exhibit II to this Proposal.
3) Examination, discussion and voting of the terms and conditions of the "Protocol and Justification of the Merger of Braskem Petroquímica Ltda. into Braskem S.A." ("Protocol and Justification"), entered into on October 26, 2017, by the managers of the Company and of BRK Petroquímica, the purpose of which is the merger of BRK Petroquímica into the Company ("Merger") and the approval of the Merger proposed, in accordance with the Protocol and Justification:
We propose the approval of the Protocol and Justification, attached hereto as Exhibit III.
We propose the approval of the Merger, under the terms and conditions indicated in the Protocol and Justification (Exhibit III), with the consequent merger of BRK Petroquímica into Braskem, which will universally succeed Mergee, in all its rights and obligations.
Management informs that the Merger will not result in an increase to the net equity of Braskem, since all quotas of Mergee are directly owned by Braskem, which already has the consolidated registration of Mergee in its consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, Braskem's share capital will not be changed because of the Merger, and no new shares will be issued.
The main terms and conditions, as required by article 20-A of CVM Ruling 481 are described in Exhibit IV to this proposal.
4) Because of the Merger proposed, approval of the complementation of clause 2 of the Company's Bylaws to include complementary activities performed only by BRK Petroquímica to the activities performed by the Company:
The origin and justification of the proposed amendment, its legal and economic effects, as well as the version of article 2 of the Company's Bylaws marked with the proposed amendments, pursuant to article 11, items I and II, of CVM Ruling 481, are included in Exhibit V of this Proposal.
Braskem’s minority shareholders will have no right to withdrawal because of a change in the Company's corporate purpose.
Such complements to the activities performed by Braskem do not entail a change in the business line nor do they substantially alter the Company's social role. Furthermore, it is also understood that, since these activities had been exercised until then by a company totally owned by Braskem, these functions were already exercised indirectly by the Company, through its subsidiary.
2
AMECURRENT 725845548.2 07-nov-17 11:42
Therefore, there is no right to withdraw due to a change in the corporate purpose under article 137 of the Brazilian Corporation Law.
5) As a result of the conversion of shares exercised by minority shareholders holding class “B” preferred shares, the approval of the amendment to article 4 of the Company’s Bylaws in order to update the share capital:
The origin and justification of the proposed amendment, its legal and economic effects, as well as the version of article 4 of the Company's Bylaws marked with the proposed amendments, pursuant to article 11, items I and II, of CVM Ruling 481, are included in Exhibit V of this Proposal.
6) Approval of the rectification of item “b” of article 39 of the Bylaws in order to align it with item “xx” of article 26 of the Bylaws.
The origin and justification of the proposed amendment, its legal and economic effects, as well as the version of article 39 of the Company's Bylaws marked with the proposed amendments, pursuant to article 11, items I and II, of CVM Ruling 481, are included in Exhibit V of this Proposal.
7) Authorization to the managers of the Company so they may practice any acts required for the conclusion of the Merger and other approvals:
Once the Merger and other matters on the agenda have been approved, we propose that Braskem's management be authorized to practice any and all additional acts required to carry out the Merger and other decisions.
B. Shareholders’ Representation
The participation of the Shareholder in the Meeting may be done in person or by proxy duly established, and detailed guidelines regarding the documentation required for the representation are set forth in the Proposal, in the Call Notice for the Meeting disclosed on this date and in item 12.2 of the Company's Reference Form.

CURRENT WORDING |
PROPOSED WORDING |
ORIGIN, JUSTIFICATION LEGAL AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES |
Clause 2 The purpose of the Company comprises:
a) the manufacture, trade, import and export of chemical and petrochemical products and byproducts;
b) production, distribution and commercialization of utilities such as: steam, water, compressed air, industrial gas, as well as the provision of industrial services;
c) the production, distribution and trade of electric power for its own consumption and of other companies;
d) the participation in other companies, pursuant to Law 6,404/76, as partner or shareholder; and
e) the manufacture, distribution, trade, import and export of gasoline, diesel oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and other petroleum byproducts.

Clause 2 The purpose of the Company comprises:
a) the manufacture, trade, import and export of chemical and petrochemical products and byproducts;
b) production, distribution and commercialization of utilities such as: steam, water, compressed air, industrial gas, as well as the provision of industrial services;
c) the production, distribution and trade of electric power for its own consumption and of other companies;
d) the participation in other companies, pursuant to Law 6,404/76, as partner or shareholder;
e) the manufacture, distribution, trade, import and export of gasoline, diesel oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and other petroleum byproducts; f) the transportation, representation and consignment of petrochemical products and by-products, compounds and derivatives, such as polypropylene, polypropylene films, polyethylene, elastomers and their respective manufactured products;
g) the free lease or loan of assets that are owned or possessed thereby because of a commercial leasing agreement, provided that this is carried out as an ancillary activity to the main corporate purpose of the Company; and
h) the provision of services related to the activities above.
|
Origin and justification of the proposed amendment:
The change in the corporate purpose of Braskem is only for the purposes of inserting the activities provided by BRK Petroquímica today, which are not included in Braskem's current corporate purpose.

Origin and justification of the proposed amendment:
The amendment results from the exercise by the minority shareholders of the right to convert class "B" preferred shares into class "A" preferred shares, in the ratio of two (2) class "B" preferred shares for each class "A" preferred share. This is a faculty established by clause 6, paragraph 3, of the Company's Bylaws, so that the amendment to the Bylaws only reflects the result of the conversion.
