Overview
- Braskem announced a R$1.2 billion settlement with the State of Alagoas tied to subsidence in Maceió caused by its salt extraction operations.
- R$139 million has already been disbursed, with the remaining balance to be paid in ten corrected annual installments scheduled mainly after 2030.
- The term provides compensation for patrimonial and extra‑patrimonial state damages and grants full discharge to Braskem once homologated.
- The company previously provisioned R$467 million for patrimonial damages related to the case, according to its disclosures.
- The federal geological service confirmed Braskem’s role in the 2019 findings, and the company later closed its salt‑extraction wells, which it called a significant step as it now reports this deal to the market.
