BRASKEM SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Excess Of $100,000 Investing In Braskem S.A. To Contact The Firm Ahead of Imminent Lead Plaintiff Deadline

NEW YORK--()--Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in Braskem S.A. (“Braskem” or the “Company”) (NYSE:BAK) of the August 31, 2015 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.

The lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased Braskem securities between June 1, 2010 and March 11, 2015 (the “Class Period”).

The complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that Braskem engaged in a bribery scheme that enabled the Company to purchase raw materials at favorable prices. Specifically, on March 11, 2015, a report published in a São Paulo newspaper, Folha de S. Paolo, accused Braskem of paying at least $5 million annually to Petrobras, Brazil’s semi-public multinational energy corporation, between 2006 and 2012 to acquire crude derivative contracts at cheaper prices. The article quoted testimony made by former Petrobras executive Paulo Roberto Costa and self-confessed money launderer Alberto Youssef.

With this news, Braskem ADRs fell $1.72 per ADR, to close on March 11, 2015 at $6.71 per ADR, a 20% decline during heavy volume intraday trading.
