Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) intends to submit a bid to acquire a stake in the Brazilian petrochemical company Braskem, Brazilian newspaper Valor reported, citing sources.

 

The Saudi petrochemical giant has expressed interest in acquiring a stake in Braskem and currently tends to submit an individual offer and not as a consortium with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC), which had previously submitted a takeover bid, the newspaper said.

 

In November, ADNOC submitted a takeover bid for a controlling stake in the Brazilian company at 37.29 Brazilian real per share, according to Argaam's data.

 

The UAE company seeks to acquire most of the 38.3% stake held by Novonor, the largest shareholder of Braskem, which will retain only 3% of its current stake.
