Official Letter No. 23/2018/CVM/SEP/GEA-1

'Dear Sir,

We refer to the news published on 01/17/2018 in Ancelmo Gois' column in the newspaper O Globo, under the title: 'Kramer vs. Kramer' which includes the following statements:

Braskem filed a court suit against Petrobras whereby the state-owned company is charged with having one-sidedly changed the conditions of the propene supply contract. The oil company, as everybody knows, is an Odebrecht minority shareholder in Braskem, although such share is for sale.

In this regard, we request the company to make a statement about the veracity of such news and, if affirmative, to explain why this was not considered to be a material fact, as well as to comment on other pieces of information considered to be relevant on this subject.'

Clarification

Petrobras states to be unaware of any judicial measures filed by Braskem against the Company linked to such propene supply contract.
