Why did Braskem's shares tumble over 10%, and what immediate financial developments triggered the drop?

Braskem's shares fell over 10% after the company announced it had sought court protection from creditors and that its financial restructuring proposal was rejected by creditors, who deemed it 'wholly unsatisfactory'; this rejection, combined with looming near-term debt maturities and operational issues involving its Mexican subsidiary, intensified market concerns about potential bankruptcy—despite controlling shareholders explicitly ruling out that outcome.

What was creditors' reaction to Braskem's financial restructuring proposal, and how did Braskem respond to their conditions for support?

Creditors rejected Braskem's financial restructuring proposal as 'wholly unsatisfactory' and specified conditions under which they would support an out-of-court restructuring; Braskem subsequently rejected those conditions, stating they did not serve its best interests.
