Brazil's state-run oil firm Petrobras is seeking to review Braskem's shareholders agreement to implement changes that would grant it more say in the petrochemical firm's decisions. This move could significantly alter Braskem's corporate governance structure.

Sources close to the matter indicate that Petrobras aims to increase its power to appoint Braskem board members and directors. Such a shift would give the state-run company greater control over Braskem's strategic direction and operational policies.

This development introduces potential uncertainty regarding Braskem's future autonomy and strategic alignment. Investors will be closely monitoring the outcome of these discussions and their implications for the company's long-term trajectory.
