Analysis · BAK · Industrial Applications And Services
A new commercial credit facility with Petrobras lifts Braskem's feedstock purchase limit to BRL 2,350 million (approximately US$430 million at current exchange rates), with payment terms up to 30 days and tenor through December 31, 2026. The facility is collateralized by fiduciary assignment of receivables (at least BRL 1.0 billion per month), an escrow account with cash retention of at least BRL 300 million, and fiduciary assignment of CIDE Combustíveis judicial claim receivables of approximately BRL 2.7 billion. Critically, the facility is conditioned on Braskem filing an extrajudicial restructuring with a plan approved by at least 1/3 of relevant creditors — the same restructuring petition filed today covering US$10.9 billion in unsecured debt. This credit line provides essential feedstock liquidity during the restructuring, but the collateral package and default triggers (including acceleration of financial indebtedness) underscore the company's distressed position.
