Braskem (BAK) is contemplating seeking protection in Brazil courts against its creditors, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing people involved in the discussions.

The petrochemical company's financial situation has deteriorated in the last few months, resulting in its management to consider the precautionary move, or even proceeding with an outright bankruptcy, the unnamed sources told the news outlet.

Braskem didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.

The company's shares were up 4.6% in premarket activity.
