Brazilian businessman Nelson Tanure may abandon his bid to acquire a controlling stake in Braskem. This potential withdrawal comes as his exclusive negotiations window is nearing its close without an agreement to resolve claims from an environmental incident linked to the company.
The environmental incident, specifically the Alagoas geological event, represents a substantial liability for Braskem, with a total provision of BRL 17.6 billion in Q1 2025. The inability to resolve these claims appears to be a critical hurdle for the acquisition.
This development casts uncertainty over the ongoing efforts to sell Novonor's stake in Braskem and underscores the significant financial burden and risk associated with the Alagoas event. The potential collapse of the bid could impact investor sentiment regarding future M&A prospects.
