Braskem SA said talks with creditors have intensified but have yet to produce an agreement, with a deadline on a court-ordered shield from enforcement actions set to expire in just three days. The Brazilian petrochemicals giant said it has received indicative, non-binding proposals from creditor groups for a potential restructuring.

The proposals include options that contemplate a capital injection and the granting of security interests over assets as collateral, according to a filing late Thursday. The proposals remain under review, the company said.

The Braskem petrochemical plant in Duque de Caxias, Brazil, remains operational as negotiations continue. Reporter Giovanna Bellotti Azevedo covers the developing story for Bloomberg Markets.
