MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT

 

Approval by CADE of the consortium between Ultragaz and Supergasbrás

 

São Paulo, August 16, 2023 – Ultrapar Participações S.A. (B3: UGPA3 / NYSE: UGP, “Ultrapar”), in addition to the market announcement disclosed on July 12, 2022, informs that the Administrative Court of the Administrative Council of Economic Defense (CADE) approved the consortium agreements between Cia Ultragaz S.A. (“Ultragaz”) and Supergasbrás Energia Ltda., for sharing part of its operations and infrastructure of LGP storage and filling bases, through the execution of a Merger Control Agreement, which preserves the rationale of the consortium.

The consortium will provide greater supply security and service levels to customers and resellers in the regions served. There will be no changes in the commercial operation of both companies.

From a financial point of view, the benefits of the agreement will come from the rationalization of future investments for the construction of new bases, since Ultragaz will expand its presence from 19 to 24 filling bases. In addition, operating synergies are estimated arising from the optimization of logistics routes and the reduction of costs with operations, filling and storage by third parties. The costs related to the implementation of the consortium are already included in Ultragaz's investment plan for 2023, as disclosed in the market announcement of December 14, 2022.

Ultrapar will keep the market and its shareholders duly informed of any relevant updates related to this announcement.
