(“Triunfo”, and together with Braskem hereinafter referred to as “Companies”) related to a possible incorporation of Triunfo by Braskem (“Transaction”), under the terms of article 227 of Law nº 6404 of December 15th, 1976, as amended (“Brazilian Corporation Law”) and other laws and applicable rules. The information below is relevant and should be carefully and fully observed:

• This Valuation Report can only be used under the terms of the Brazilian Corporation Law, of the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (“Comissão de Valores Mobiliários” or “CVM”) instructions or of other applicable rules in order to provide subsides to be used in the Operation and must only be used by Braskem management, your Board of Directors and your General Meeting of Shareholders under the scope of the Transaction, and shall not be used or used as reference by any person to whom this Valuation Report was not directly destined, as referred above, or for any purpose other than those described herein

• The Valuation Report did not include an independent verification of the data and the Information and we have assumed that all Information used in this Valuation Report is true, precise and complete in all the relevant matters, so this Valuation Report does not count as an audit according to the generally accepted accounting principles. No relevant information related to our scope of work was kept undisclosed to us. As for the portion of Information that embodies projections or estimates of future events, we have assumed that such Information reflects the best estimates currently available about the Companies’ future performance.

• The preparation of a financial analysis is a complex process which involves several definitions related to the more appropriate and relevant financial analysis methodologies as well as to the application of such methodologies. We reached a final conclusion based on the results of the analysis made, considered as a whole, and we did not reach conclusions based on, or related to, any of the factors or methods of our analysis taken separately. Consequently, we believe our analysis must be considered as a whole and that any selection of parts of our analysis and specific factors, without considering our analysis and our conclusions as a whole, may result in an incomplete or incorrect understanding of the processes used for the purpose of our analyses and conclusions

• This Valuation Report only indicates an estimate, following our own criteria, of the value derived from the application of the valuation methodologies (i) discounted free cash flow and (ii) comparable precedent transactions multiples, selected based on the level of information obtained. These methodologies are commonly used in financial valuations of companies, even in operations involving public companies, and does not analyze any other aspect or implication of the Transaction or any future contract or agreement reached in relation to the Transaction. We do not express any opinion related to the issuance price of the shares to be issued as a result of the Transaction or the value at which the shares of the Companies will be traded in the stock market at any time. Additionally, this Valuation Report is not and should not be used as (i) as a fairness opinion regarding the Transaction or (ii) a recommendation regarding any aspect of the Transaction. In addition, this Valuation Report does not discuss the strategic and commercial merit s of the Transaction or of the strategic decision that have led to the Transaction. The results presented in this Valuation Report relate solely to the Transaction and are not to be used or relied upon on the context of any transaction, current or future, regarding the Companies, the economic group they are part of, or the sector in which they operate

Although future events and other developments may affect the conclusions presented in this Valuation Report, we do not have any obligation to update, review, rectify or revoke this Valuation Report, in whole or in part, as a result of any future development or for any reason whatsoever

• This Valuation Report is exclusively addressed to Braskem and it is not intended to the commercial decision of the Companies in doing the Transaction nor as a recommendation to any shareholder or member of board of directors of the Companies on how to act or/and vote in any matter related to the Transaction. Each shareholder should take their own conclusions in respect of the convenience and acceptance of the Transaction

• Our analyses does not differentiate classes or types of shares of each Companies, when and if applicable, and does not include operating, fiscal or any other nature of benefits or losses, including any eventual goodwill, or any synergy, incremental value and/or costs, in case they exist, resulting from the conclusion of the Transaction, should it occur, or any other operation. The valuation also does not take into consideration eventual operating and financial benefits or losses that may occur after the conclusion of the Transaction as a result of commercial changes in the existing businesses

• Braskem and its management did not (i) interfere with, limit or difficult, in any manner whatsoever, our access, utilization or knowledge of working information, documents or methodologies relevant to the quality of the analysis presented in this Valuation Report, (ii) determine the methodologies used in the preparation of this Valuation Report, or (iii) restrict, in any manner whatsoever, our capacity to determine the conclusions presented in an independent manner in this Valuation Report

Valuation Report Considerations    Valuation Report in Portuguese 
 

• Braskem, Petrobras S.A. (“Petrobras”), Petrobras Química S.A. (“Petroquisa”) and Odebrecht S.A. signed an agreement in 2007 to consolidate the Brazilian chemical industry by integrating petrochemical assets into Braskem

• The following assets of Petrobras and Petroquisa were part of the agreement: Companhia Petroquímica do Sul (“Copesul”), Ipiranga Química, currently denominated iQ Soluções & Química (“quantiQ”), Ipiranga Petroquímica (“IPQ”), Petroquímica Paulínia (“PPSA”) and Triunfo; with the exception of Triunfo, the other interests were incorporated by Braskem in September 2008

• Due to the operational differences, the petrochemical assets consolidated into Braskem (Copesul, IPQ, PPSA and Braskem, jointly denominated “Braskem Operational”) and the commercial operation of wholesale distribution of chemicals explored by quantiQ will be valuated separately; the sum of the values of Braskem Operational and quantiQ results in the value of Braskem

• The discounted cash flow methodology (“DCF”) was applied to value Braskem Operational and Triunfo; quantiQ was valued using multiples of precedent transactions and comparable companies (“EBITDA Multiples”)

• The DCF allows the analysis of the operational future results of Braskem Operational and Triunfo, and is the most appropriate methodology to determine the range of economic value for Braskem Operational and Triunfo. The DCF took into account the following items:

     • Operational forecasts prepared by Braskem

     • Projection period from 12/31/2008 to 12/31/2018

     • Macroeconomic projections from the Economic Research Department (“DEPEC”) of Bradesco as of 03/23/2009

     • US$ nominal discount rate of 11.69% for Braskem and 12.12% for Triunfo

     • Terminal value of Braskem Operational and Triunfo considering a nominal perpetuity growth in dollars of 2.5%

     • Industry studies, including CMAI report with the price projections of essential petrochemicals and products commercialized by the Companies and market information about comparable companies

• In this report, BBI presents the valuation of the existing operations of Braskem and Triunfo, under the terms of CVM Instruction 319/99
