Unipar Carbocloro (UNIP3, UNIP6) reported this Friday, 14th, after the market closed, that a potential transaction involving Braskem (BRKM5) is one of the opportunities evaluated, although no binding document has been signed, said Financenews.
The statement appears in a statement where the company responds to a request for explanations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and B3.
The request of both came after the article published in the newspaper Valor Economico on October 13th under the title “Apollo improves supply and moves sales at Braskem”. The report states that “Unipar would continue to be interested in Braskem's assets in Sao Paulo, in an operation with a price equivalent to R$ 60 per petrochemical share”.
“Regarding the inquiries made, the company clarifies that it is part of its routine to evaluate new business opportunities as they arise, constantly studying opportunities for investments, acquisitions and other strategic alternatives that are consistent and compatible with its objectives and that , in this sense, a potential transaction involving Braskem S.A. is one of the opportunities evaluated, however, no binding document has been signed between the company and Braskem”, said Unipar in the statement filed on the CVM website.
Braskem's shares were the highlight of the week's rise. Although they dropped 4.5% this Friday, the 14th, during the week they jumped 30.90%. The strong appreciation comes after the news published on the blog of journalist Lauro Jardim, at O ??Globo, that the American manager Apollo made a new offer for the petrochemical company.
We remind, Unipar's board of directors (UNIP6) approved an additional investment in the project to implement a chlorine/soda and derivatives production plant at the Camacari Petrochemical Complex, in Bahia. The increase will be around R$94 million. In a statement sent to the CVM (Securities Commission), Unipar says that the project will increase by 10 thousand tons of chlorine per year to the production capacity originally planned.
