NOTICE TO THE MARKET
São Paulo, Brazil, May 13, 2011 - Braskem is re-submitting today, according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), its Interim Financial Reports (ITR) for the year 2010 - first quarter (1Q10), second quarter (2Q10) and third quarter (3Q10), following the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) ruling. Due to adjustments made for these quarters, 3Q10 and 4Q10 Net Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) figures were changed, mostly related to freights reallocation, previously considered as a reducer of net revenue and now considered as COGS. In order to reflect such changes, we are re-submitting our 4Q10 earnings release (with no change to annual figures) and, also, our 1Q11 earnings release, as comparison in this report are made against the 4Q10.
We apologize for any inconvenience this event may cause.
