Mexico’s Braskem Idesa and its creditors are nearing an agreement for a loan of around $250 million as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, according to people familiar with the matter. The loan would provide financing to the company during its reorganization under U.S. bankruptcy protection.

Chapter 11 allows a business to continue operating while it restructures its debts and obligations. The company has been engaged in discussions with creditors on the terms of the debtor-in-possession financing.

Idesa operates a petrochemical complex in Mexico. The facility has faced financial difficulties stemming from high debt levels and operational challenges in recent years. The impending loan agreement marks a step toward stabilizing the company's finances during the bankruptcy proceedings.

Creditors have been working with the company to finalize the financing package. Details on the exact terms of the loan, including interest rates and repayment schedule, have not been disclosed.
