RELEVANT FACT
Braskem S.A. (Braskem) and Ipiranga Petroquímica S.A. (IPQ), in observance of CVM Instruction 358/02, hereby inform that, on June 28th, 2007, Braskem, through its indirectly controlled company EDSP67 Participações S.A., purchased all of its outstanding shares (free float) issued by IPQ held by all its minority shareholders, representing 7.61% of the capital stock of IPQ. As a result, Ipiranga Química S.A., company controlled by Braskem, now holds 100% of IPQs capital stock.
Due to the share acquisition mentioned above, Braskem already requested CVM to file its request for registration of a tender offer, in accordance with art. 254-A, Law nº 6,404/76, since the tender offer has effectively lost its object.
Braskem has confirmed, on this date, the request for the delisting of IPQs shares before the Brazilian Securities Commission CVM.
