PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 18 were prepared in accordance with IFRS and include our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 and the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, as well as notes thereto.

4

The following standards became effective on January 1, 2013 and have impacted the company’s financial information previously disclosed for December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

(i) adoption of IFRS 11 (joint arrangements): Ultrapar’s investments in RPR, Maxfácil, Uniăo Vopak Armazéns Gerais Ltda. and ConectCar are no longer proportionally consolidated and are accounted for using the equity method; and

(ii) amendments to IAS 19 Revised (employee benefits): actuarial gains and losses are no longer recognized in the income statement and are recognized in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income. Past service costs are recognized in retained earnings under shareholders’ equity on the date of transition thereafter recognized in income statements when measured.

The presentation of the restated information as a result of the adoption of IFRS 11 is mandatory for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and is optional for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. However, for the convenience of the reader and to provide comparability among the periods covered by the present document, the information for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 presented in this annual report has been retrospectively restated to reflect the changes resulting from the adoption of IFRS 11. The presentation of the restated information as a result of the adoption of IAS 19 Revised is mandatory for all periods covered in this annual report and are presented accordingly. Therefore, all financial information presented in this document was prepared in accordance with IAS 19 R2011 and IFRS 11, which differs from the information previously disclosed. For further information about the adoption of these standards with respect to our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, see Note 2.v of our audited consolidated financial statements.

The financial information presented in this annual report should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2008, Ultrapar executed a sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of Texaco’s fuel distribution business in Brazil, which was closed on March 31, 2009. The results of operations of the businesses acquired were consolidated into Ultrapar’s financial statements as from April 1, 2009. Ultrapar’s financial statements as of and for the periods prior to April 1, 2009 do not reflect any financial information of the acquired businesses. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Description of the Acquisition of Texaco.”

On April 17, 2014 the exchange rate for Reais into U.S. dollars was R$2.248 to US$1.00, based on the commercial selling rate as reported by the Central Bank. The commercial selling rate was R$2.343 to US$1.00 on December 31, 2013, and R$2.044 to US$1.00 on December 31, 2012. The Real/dollar exchange rate fluctuates widely, and the current commercial selling rate may not be indicative of future exchange rates. See “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Data — Exchange Rates” for information regarding exchange rates for the Brazilian currency. Solely for the convenience of the reader, we have translated some amounts included in “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Information” and elsewhere in this annual report from Reais into U.S. dollars using the commercial selling rate as reported by the Central Bank at December 31, 2013 of R$2.343 to US$1.00. These translations should not be considered representations that any such amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or at any other exchange rate. Such translations should not be construed as representations that the Real amounts represent or have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars as of that or any other date.

Segment information for our businesses is presented on an unconsolidated basis. Consequently, intercompany transactions have not been eliminated in segment information, and such information may differ from consolidated financial information provided elsewhere in this annual report. See “Item 7.B. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Related Party Transactions” for more information on intercompany transactions.

Certain figures included in this annual report have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.

Market share and economic information

All market share information, unless otherwise specified, related to (i) the LPG business was obtained from ANP, (ii) the fuel distribution business was obtained from Sindicom and ANP and (iii) the liquid bulk storage industry was obtained from ABTL. Unless otherwise specified, all macroeconomic data are obtained from the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística—IBGE, Fundação Getulio Vargas—FGV and the Central Bank. Although we do not have any reason to believe any of this information is inaccurate in any material respect, we have not independently verified any such information.

(1) The figures in Reais for December 31, 2013 have been converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate of US$1.00 = R$2.343, which is the commercial rate reported by the Central Bank on this date. This information is presented solely for the convenience of the reader. You should not interpret the currency conversions in this annual report as a statement that the amounts in Reais currently represent such values in U.S. dollars. Additionally, you should not interpret such conversions as statements that the amounts in Reais have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other foreign exchange rates. See “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Data — Exchange Rates.”

(2) See “Presentation of Financial Information.”

(3) Earnings per share are calculated based on the net income attributable to Ultrapar’s shareholders and the weighted average shares outstanding during each of the years presented. Earnings per share have been retroactively adjusted for the 1:4 stock split approved in the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on February 10, 2011 described under “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.”

(4) See “Item 8.A. Financial Information — Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information — Dividends and Distribution Policy” for information regarding declaration and payment of dividends. Dividends per share were retroactively adjusted for the 1:4 stock split approved in the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on February 10, 2011 described under “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.”

(5) Cash flows information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS for all periods presented.

(6) Represents depreciation and amortization expenses included in cost of products and services sold and in selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses.

(7) EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is presented in this document in accordance with ICVM 527/12 and represents our net income before (i) income and social contribution taxes, (ii) net financial expense (income) and (iii) depreciation and amortization. The purpose of including EBITDA information is to provide a measure used by management for internal assessment of our operating results, and because a portion of our employee profit sharing plan is linked directly or indirectly to EBITDA performance. It is also a financial indicator widely used by investors and analysts to measure our ability to generate cash from operations and our operating performance. We also calculate EBITDA in connection with covenants related to some of our financing, as described in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements. We believe EBITDA allows a better understanding not only of our financial performance but also of our capacity of meeting the payment of interest and principal from our debt and of obtaining resources for our investments and working capital. Our definition of EBITDA may differ from, and, therefore, may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because EBITDA excludes net financial expense (income), income and social contribution taxes and depreciation and amortization, it provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by debt restructurings, fluctuations in interest rates or changes in income and social contribution taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS, and it should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, as a measure of operating performance, as a substitute for cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA has material limitations that impair its value as a measure of a company’s overall profitability since it does not address certain ongoing costs of our business that could significantly affect profitability such as financial expense (income), income and social contribution taxes, depreciation and amortization. The tables below provide a reconciliation of net income and operating income to EBITDA for Ultrapar and a reconciliation of operating income to EBITDA for Ultragaz, Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

(8) Net debt is included in this document in order to provide the reader with information relating to our overall indebtedness and financial position. Net debt is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS. In managing our businesses we rely on net debt as a means of assessing our financial condition. We believe that this type of measurement is useful for comparing our financial condition from period to period and making related management decisions. Net debt is also used in connection with covenants related to some of our financings. The table below provides a reconciliation of our consolidated balance sheet data to the net debt positions shown in the table, as of December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

(9) The number of shares corresponds to the totality of shares issued by the company, including those held in treasury. The number of shares for all periods presented was retroactively adjusted for the 1:4 stock split approved in the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on February 10, 2011 described under “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.” The number of shares as of December 31, 2013 does not include 12,021,100 shares issued on January 31, 2014 in connection with the Extrafarma Transaction.

This information is presented solely for the convenience of the reader. You should not interpret the currency conversions in this annual report as a statement that the amounts in Reais currently represent such values in U.S. dollars. Additionally, you should not interpret such conversions as statements that the amounts in Reais have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other foreign exchange rates. See “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Data — Exchange Rates.”

Exchange Rates

Before March 14, 2005, there were two principal foreign exchange markets in Brazil, in which notes were freely negotiated but could be strongly influenced by Central Bank intervention:

• the commercial rate exchange market dedicated principally to trade and financial foreign exchange transactions such as the buying and selling of registered investments by foreign entities, the purchase or sale of shares, or the payment of dividends or interest with respect to shares; and

• the floating rate exchange market that was generally used for transactions not conducted through the commercial foreign exchange market.

On March 4, 2005, the National Monetary Council enacted Resolution No. 3,265, pursuant to which the commercial rate exchange market and the floating rate exchange market were unified in a sole exchange market, effective as of March 14, 2005. This resolution allowed, subject to certain procedures and specific regulatory provisions, the purchase and sale of foreign currency and the international transfer of Reais by a person or legal entity, without limitation of the amount involved; provided, however, the transaction is legal. Foreign currencies may only be purchased through financial institutions domiciled in Brazil authorized to operate in the exchange market. Resolution No. 3,265 was revoked by Resolution No. 3,568, effective as of July 1, 2008; however, the main directives provided by Resolution No. 3,265 were maintained.

In 2009, the quick rebound of the Brazilian economy from the global financial crisis drove the inflow of foreign investments in the country, thus contributing to a 25% appreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar in 2009 – the highest appreciation in the decade. In 2010, the effects of the strong economic growth in Brazil, together with the public offering of shares of Petrobras in the third quarter, resulted in a record of foreign investments inflow to Brazil, contributing to a 4% appreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar. In 2011, the unstable international economic environment, especially in the second half of the year as a result of the effects of the European crisis, contributed to a 13% depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar for the year, reversing the appreciation trend in the first half of the year. In 2012, the Brazilian government adopted counter-cyclical measures to foster economic growth. Such measures included the reduction of the base interest rate (SELIC) and the reduction of federal taxes on the automotive sector. The effects of the lower economic growth, the lower interest rate and the unstable international environment contributed to a 9% depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar. In 2013, the Real depreciated 15% against the U.S. dollar due to the performance of the Brazilian economy, the economic rebound in the United States and the economic instability in the international markets. From December 31, 2013 to April 17, 2014 the Real depreciated 4% against the U.S. dollar.

It is not possible to predict whether the Real will remain at its present level and what impact the Brazilian government’s exchange rate policies may have on us.

On April 17, 2014, the exchange rate for Reais into U.S. dollars was R$2.248 to US$1.00, based on the commercial selling rate as reported by the Central Bank. The following table sets forth information on prevailing commercial foreign exchange selling rates for the periods indicated, as published by the Central Bank on its electronic information system, SISBACEN, using PTAX 800, Option 5.

D. Risk Factors

Investing in our shares and ADSs involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this annual report in evaluating an investment in our shares or ADSs. Our business, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity and financial condition could be harmed if any of these risks materializes and, as a result, the trading price of the shares or the ADSs could decline and you could lose a substantial part or even all of your investment.

We have included information in these risk factors concerning Brazil based on information that is publicly available.

Risks Relating to Ultrapar and Its Industries

Petrobras is the main supplier of LPG and oil-based fuels in Brazil. Fuel distributors in Brazil, including Ipiranga, have formal contracts with Petrobras for the supply of oil-based fuels. Ultragaz has a formal contract with Petrobras for the supply of LPG. Any interruption in the supply of LPG or oil-based fuels from Petrobras would immediately affect Ultragaz or Ipiranga’s ability to provide LPG and oil-based fuels to their customers.

Prior to 1995, Petrobras held a constitutional monopoly for the production and importation of petroleum products in Brazil. Although this monopoly was removed from the Brazilian constitution, Petrobras effectively remains the main provider of LPG and oil-based fuels in Brazil. Currently, Ultragaz and all other LPG distributors in Brazil purchase all or nearly all LPG from Petrobras. Ultragaz’s net revenue from sales and services represented 7% of our consolidated net revenue from sales and services for the year ended December 31, 2013. The procedures for ordering and purchasing LPG from Petrobras are generally common to all LPG distributors — including Ultragaz. For more details, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Ultragaz — Supply of LPG.”

With respect to fuel distribution, Petrobras also supplied nearly all of Ipiranga and other distributors’ oil-based fuel requirements in 2013. Petrobras’ supply to Ipiranga is governed by an annual contract, under which the supply volume is established based on the volume purchased in the previous year. Ipiranga’s net revenue from sales and services represented 88% of our consolidated net revenue from sales and services for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The last significant interruption in the supply of oil derivatives by Petrobras to LPG and fuel distributors occurred during the 1995 strike by Petrobras employees. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Industry and Regulatory Overview” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Fuel Distribution — Industry and Regulatory Overview.”

Significant interruptions of LPG and oil-based fuel supply from Petrobras may occur in the future. Any interruption in the supply of LPG or oil-based fuels from Petrobras would immediately affect Ultragaz or Ipiranga’s respective ability to provide LPG or oil-based fuels to its customers. If we are not able to obtain an adequate supply of LPG or oil-based fuels from Petrobras under acceptable terms, we may seek to meet our demands through LPG or oil-based fuels purchased on the international market. The average cost of LPG and oil based fuels imported from the international markets in 2013 was higher than the price we obtained through Petrobras. As a result, any such interruption could increase our purchase costs and, consequently, adversely affect our operating margins.

Ipiranga operates in the fuel market, which has been presenting a robust growth in volumes in recent years. If the supply of fuels, either by refineries in Brazil or by imports, is not sufficient to serve the growth in demand, Ipiranga’s ability to provide oil-based fuels to their customers could be immediately affected.

In recent years, Brazilian consumption of oil-based fuels has grown consistently, mainly diesel and gasoline that together represented more than 85% of fuels sold in Brazil in 2013. In the last three years ended December 31, 2013, the consumption of diesel grew, on average, 5.9% per year, as a result of the Brazilian economic performance, particularly the agricultural and consumer goods segments. During the same period, the sales of gasoline by the Brazilian distributors grew by 11.5%, boosted by the growth of the light vehicle fleet in the country. Combined, sales of gasoline and diesel grew by 9.4% per year during the last three years ended December 31, 2013.

The Brazilian fuel market is supplied by domestic refining and by imports. During the last three years ended December 31, 2013, imports of diesel and gasoline A combined have grown by an average of 11.4% per year (4.5% in diesel and 78.6% in gasoline A) as the local production of gasoline and diesel was not sufficient to serve the Brazilian market demand. If the supply of fuels by local refineries and imports are insufficient to meet the demand in Brazil, including as a result of interruptions in supply, insufficient logistics infrastructure or delays in the construction of new refineries , Ipiranga’s ability to provide fuels to its customers would be immediately affected, with a negative impact on its growth perspectives. Consequently, our results could be adversely affected.

16

Intense competition in the LPG and in the Brazilian fuel distribution market may affect our operating margins.

The Brazilian LPG market is very competitive in all segments — residential, commercial and industrial. Petrobras, our supplier of LPG, and other major companies participate in the Brazilian LPG distribution market. Intense competition in the LPG distribution market could lead to lower sales volumes and increased marketing expenses, which may have a material adverse effect on our operating margins. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Industry and Regulatory Overview — The role of Petrobras” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Ultragaz — Competition.”

The Brazilian fuel distribution market is highly competitive in both retail and wholesale segments. Petrobras, our supplier of oil-derivative products, and other major companies with significant resources participate in the Brazilian fuel distribution market. Intense competition in the fuel distribution market could lead to lower sales volumes and increased marketing expenses which may have a material adverse effect on our operating margins. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Fuel Distribution — Industry and Regulatory Overview — The role of Petrobras” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Fuel Distribution — Ipiranga — Competition.” In addition, a number of small local and regional distributors entered the Brazilian fuel distribution market in the late 90s, after the market was deregulated, which further increased competition in such market.

Anticompetitive practices by our competitors may distort market prices.

In the recent past, anticompetitive practices have been one of the main problems affecting fuels distributors in Brazil, including Ipiranga. Generally these practices have involved a combination of tax evasion and fuels adulteration, such as the dilution of gasoline by mixing solvents or adding anhydrous ethanol in an amount greater than that permitted by applicable law.

Taxes constitute a significant portion of the cost of fuels sold in Brazil. For this reason, tax evasion on the part of some fuel distributors has been prevalent, allowing them to lower the prices they charge. As the final prices for the products sold by these distributors, including Ipiranga, are calculated based on, among other factors, the amount of taxes levied on the purchase and sale of these fuels, anticompetitive practices such as tax evasion may affect Ipiranga’s sales volume and could have a material adverse effect on our operating margins. Should there be any increase in the taxes levied on fuel, tax evasion may increase, resulting in a greater distortion of the prices of fuels sold.

These practices have enabled certain distributors to supply fuel products at prices lower than those offered by the major distributors, including Ipiranga.

Although the Brazilian government has been taking measures to inhibit these practices, if such practices become more prevalent, Ipiranga could suffer from a reduction in sales volume and in margins, which could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations.

LPG competes with alternative sources of energy. Competition with and the development of alternative sources of energy in the future may adversely affect the LPG market.

LPG competes with alternative sources of energy, such as natural gas, wood, diesel, fuel oil and electricity. Natural gas is currently the principal source of energy against which we compete. Natural gas is currently less expensive than LPG for industrial consumers who purchase large volumes, but more expensive for residential consumers. Changes in relative prices or the development of alternative sources of energy in the future may adversely affect the LPG market and consequently our business, financial results and results of operations. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Ultragaz — Competition.”

Ethylene, the principal raw material used in our petrochemical operations, comes from limited supply sources. Any reduction in the supply of ethylene would have an immediate impact on Oxiteno’s production and results of operations.

All second generation petrochemical producers in Brazil that use ethylene as their key raw material, including Oxiteno, our subsidiary involved in the production and sale of chemical and petrochemical products, purchase ethylene from Brazilian suppliers. Approximately 3% of our net revenue from sales and services were derived from the sale of chemical products that require ethylene in 2013. Oxiteno purchases ethylene from two of Brazil’s three naphtha cracker units, which are the sole sources of ethylene in Brazil. Pursuant to long-term contracts, Braskem supplies all of our ethylene requirements at our plants located at Camaçari and at Mauá. For more detailed information about these contracts see “Item 5.F. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Tabular Disclosure

17

of Contractual Obligations.” Given its characteristics, ethylene is difficult and expensive to store and transport, and cannot be easily imported to Brazil. Therefore, Oxiteno is almost totally dependent on ethylene produced at Braskem for its supply. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Brazil’s ethylene imports totaled 4,453 tons, representing 0.11% of Brazil’s installed capacity.

Due to ethylene’s chemical characteristics, Oxiteno does not store any quantity of ethylene, and reductions in supply from Braskem would have an immediate impact on our production and results of operations. In August 2011, we concluded the expansion of the ethylene oxide unit in Camaçari, adding 90 thousand tons per year to its production capacity. We have agreed with Braskem on an additional ethylene supply, which commenced after this expansion was completed. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Investments.” If we further expand our production capacity, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional ethylene from Braskem. In addition, Petrobras is the principal supplier of naphtha to crackers in Brazil, and any interruption in the supply of naphtha from Petrobras to the crackers could adversely impact their ability to supply ethylene to Oxiteno.

The price of palm kernel oil, one of Oxiteno’s main raw materials, is subject to fluctuations in international markets.

Palm kernel oil is one of Oxiteno’s main raw materials, used to produce fatty alcohols and its by-products in the oleochemical unit. Oxiteno imports the palm kernel oil from the main producing countries, especially Malaysia and Indonesia. Palm kernel oil is a vegetable oil, also commonly used by the food industry. Consequently, palm kernel oil prices are subject to the effects of environmental and climatic variations that affect the palm plantations, fluctuations of harvest periods, economic environment in major producing countries and fluctuations in the demand for its use in the food industry. A significant increase in palm kernel oil could increase our costs, which could have a material adverse effect on Oxiteno’s results of operations.

New natural gas reserves, primarily in North America, may reduce the global prices of natural gas-based ethylene, which could affect Oxiteno’s competitiveness with imported petrochemical products.

The ethylene used in the chemical and petrochemical industries can be obtained either from ethane, which is derived from natural gas, or naphtha, which is derived from oil. During the last few years, naphtha-based ethylene has been increasingly more expensive than natural gas-based ethylene, as oil prices have been higher than those of natural gas. The discovery of new shale gas reserves in North America and improvements in the technology to extract natural gas from shale gas have intensified the difference between naphtha- and natural gas-based ethylene prices. Most of the ethylene produced in Brazil is derived from naphtha. As Oxiteno competes in the Brazilian market largely with imported products, lowering feedstock costs of international players could affect the competitiveness of Oxiteno, which could materially affect our results.

The Brazilian petrochemical industry is influenced by the performance of the international petrochemical industry and its cyclical behavior.

The international petrochemical market is cyclical by nature, with alternating periods typically characterized by tight supply, increased prices and high margins, or by overcapacity, declining prices and low margins. The decrease in Brazilian import tariffs on petrochemical products, the increase in demand for such products in Brazil, and the ongoing integration of regional and world markets for commodities have contributed to the increasing integration of the Brazilian petrochemical industry into the international petrochemical marketplace. As a consequence, events affecting the petrochemical industry worldwide could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The price of ethylene is subject to fluctuations in international oil prices.

The price of ethylene, which is the principal component of Oxiteno’s cost of sales and services, is directly linked to the price of naphtha, which, in turn, is largely linked to the price of crude oil. Consequently, ethylene prices are subject to fluctuations in international oil prices. A significant increase in the price of crude oil and, consequently, naphtha and ethylene, could increase our costs, which could have a material adverse effect on Oxiteno’s results of operations.

The reduction in import tariffs on petrochemical products can reduce our competitiveness in relation to imported products.

Final prices paid by importers of petrochemical products include import tariffs. Consequently, import tariffs imposed by the Brazilian government affect the prices we can charge for our products. The Brazilian government’s negotiation of commercial and other intergovernmental agreements may result in reductions in the Brazilian import tariffs on petrochemical products, which generally range between 12% and 14%, and may reduce the competitiveness of Oxiteno’s products vis-à-vis imported petrochemical products. Additionally, Oxiteno’s competitiveness may also be reduced in case of higher import tariffs imposed by countries to which the company exports its products.

18

Regulatory, political, economic and social conditions in the countries in which we have operations or projects could adversely impact our business and the market price of our securities.

Our financial performance may be negatively affected by regulatory, political, economic and social conditions in countries in which we have operations or projects. In some of these jurisdictions, we are exposed to various risks such as potential renegotiation, nullification or forced modification of existing contracts, expropriation or nationalization of property, foreign exchange controls, changes in local laws, regulations and policies and political instability. We also face the risk of having to submit to the jurisdiction of a foreign court or arbitration panel or having to enforce a judgment against a sovereign nation within its own territory.

Actual or potential political or social changes and changes in economic policy may undermine investor confidence, which may hamper investment and thereby reduce economic growth, and otherwise may adversely affect the economic and other conditions under which we operate in ways that could have a materially negative effect on our business.

We may be adversely affected by the imposition and enforcement of more stringent environmental laws and regulations.

We are subject to extensive federal and state legislation and regulation by government agencies responsible for the implementation of environmental and health laws and policies in Brazil, Mexico, the Unites States, Uruguay and Venezuela. Companies like ours are required to obtain licenses for their manufacturing facilities from environmental authorities who may also regulate their operations by prescribing specific environmental standards in their operating licenses. Environmental regulations apply particularly to the discharge, handling and disposal of gaseous, liquid and solid products and by-products from manufacturing activities.

In 2007, a legislation entitled REACH (Registration Evaluation Authorization of Chemicals) was established by the European Union, focusing on controlling the production, imports and utilization of chemical products in the region. According to REACH, all the chemical products sold in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) must be registered, through the submission of information regarding properties, uses and safety of each product that will be analyzed by the European Regulatory Agency. In 2013, 2% of the volume sold by Oxiteno was exported to this region. Oxiteno is in compliance with the current legislative requirements for the products it currently exports in the EEA. As REACH is now an established regulation and has been well accepted by multilateral trade organizations, such as the World Trade Organization, it is possible that other countries may adopt similar procedures in the future. We cannot guarantee the effect that amendments to this new legislation could have on any product we export to the EEA, or whether similar legislation will come into force in other regions.

Changes in these laws and regulations, or changes in their enforcement, could adversely affect us by increasing our cost of compliance or operations. In addition, new laws or additional regulations, or more stringent interpretations of existing laws and regulations, could require us to spend additional funds on related matters in order to stay in compliance, thus increasing our costs and having an adverse effect on our results. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Industry and Regulatory Overview — Environmental, health and safety standards”, “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Fuel Distribution — Industry and Regulatory Overview — Environmental, health and safety standards” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Petrochemicals and Chemicals — Industry and Regulatory Overview — Environmental, health and safety standards.”

The production, storage and transportation of LPG, fuels and petrochemicals are inherently hazardous.

The operations we perform at our plants involve safety risks and other operating risks, including the handling, production, storage and transportation of highly inflammable, explosive and toxic materials. These risks could result in personal injury and death, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment and environmental damage. A sufficiently large accident at one of our plants, service stations or storage facilities could force us to suspend our operations in the local temporarily and result in significant remediation costs and loss of revenues. In addition, insurance proceeds may not be available on a timely basis and may be insufficient to cover all losses. Equipment breakdowns, natural disasters and delays in obtaining imports or required replacement parts or equipment can also affect our manufacturing operations and consequently our results from operations.

Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover losses that we might incur.

The operation of any chemical manufacturing plant and the distribution of petrochemicals, as well as the operations of logistics of oil, chemical products, LPG and fuel distribution involve substantial risks of property contamination and personal injury and may result in material costs and liabilities. Although we believe that current insurance levels are adequate, the occurrence of losses or other liabilities that are not covered by insurance or that exceed the limits of our insurance coverage could result in significant unexpected additional costs.

19

The suspension, cancellation or non-renewal of certain federal tax benefits may adversely affect our results of operations.

We are entitled to federal tax benefits providing for income tax exemption or reduction for our activities in the northeast region of Brazil. These benefits have defined terms and may be cancelled or suspended at any time if we distribute to our shareholders the amount of income tax that was not paid as a consequence of tax benefits or if the relevant tax authorities decide to suspend or cancel our benefits. As a result, we may become liable for the payment of related taxes at the full tax rates. If we are not able to renew such benefits, or if we are only able to renew them under terms that are substantially less favorable than expected, our results of operations may be adversely affected. Income tax exemptions amounted to R$52.8 million and R$43.4 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Ultragaz — Income tax exemption status,” “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Petrochemicals and Chemicals — Oxiteno — Income tax exemption status” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Storage services for liquid bulk — Ultracargo — Income tax exemption status.”

Our founding family and part of our senior management, through their ownership interest in Ultra S.A., own a significant portion of our shares and may influence the management, direction and policies of Ultrapar, including the outcome of any matter submitted to a vote of shareholders.

Although there is no controlling shareholder of Ultrapar, our founding family and part of our senior management, through their ownership interest in Ultra S.A., beneficially own 22% of our outstanding common stock. These individuals are party to a shareholders’ agreement executed on February 24, 2014. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company” and “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Major Shareholders — Shareholders’ Agreements.” Accordingly, these shareholders, acting together through Ultra S.A., may exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of our directors. Although our Board of Directors is responsible for nominating the slate of directors to be elected by our shareholders at our annual shareholders’ meetings, the current members of our Board of Directors, who were elected at our April 10, 2013 meeting, are substantially the same as those who previously served as members of our Board of Directors elected by Ultra S.A. on April 27, 2011, which, at that time, held approximately 66% of our voting shares.

No single shareholder or group of shareholders holds more than 50% of our capital stock, which may increase the opportunity for alliances between shareholders and other events that may occur as a result thereof.

No single shareholder or group of shareholders holds more than 50% of our capital stock. Due to the absence of a controlling shareholder, we may be subject to future alliances or agreements between our shareholders, which may result in the exercise of a relevant influence over our company by them. In the event a controlling group is formed and decides to exercise its influence over our company, we may be subject to unexpected changes in our corporate governance and strategies, including the replacement of key executive officers. Any unexpected change in our management team, business policy or strategy, any dispute between our shareholders, or any attempt to acquire control of our company may have an adverse impact on us. The term of office of our current members of our Board of Directors will expire in the annual general shareholders’ meeting to be held in 2015.

Our status as a holding company may limit our ability to pay dividends on the shares and consequently, on the ADSs.

As a holding company, we have no significant operating assets other than the ownership of shares of our subsidiaries. Substantially all of our operating income comes from our subsidiaries, and therefore we depend on the distribution of dividends or interest on shareholders’ equity from our subsidiaries. Consequently, our ability to pay dividends depends solely upon our receipt of dividends and other cash flows from our subsidiaries.

As a result of the significant acquisitions of Ipiranga, União Terminais, Texaco, the Extrafarma Transaction, as well as other smaller acquisitions and possible future acquisitions, Ultrapar has assumed and may assume in the future certain liabilities related to the transactions and of the businesses acquired and all the risks related to those liabilities.

Ultrapar has assumed certain liabilities of the businesses acquired in the last years; therefore, certain existing financial obligations, legal liabilities or other known and unknown contingent liabilities or risks of the businesses acquired have become the

20

responsibility of Ultrapar. Ultrapar may acquire new businesses in the future and, as a result, it may be subject to additional liabilities, obligations and risks. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company” for more information in connection with these acquisitions.

These liabilities may cause Ultrapar to be required to make payments, incur charges or take other actions that may adversely affect Ultrapar’s financial position and results of operations and the price of Ultrapar’s shares.

In February 2014, we started operating in the retail pharmacy sector, a new business unit in which we have limited experience and which could subject us to additional and unknown business and operating risks.

In February, 2014 we entered the retail pharmacy sector through an association agreement with Extrafarma, a Brazilian drugstore chain. Prior to this transaction, we were not involved in the drugstore business. The drugstore business is complex and involves assets and operations in which we have limited operating experience. Our ability to succeed in this new business unit will depend upon our ability to address and overcome limitations in our experience. The difficulties of integrating new business activities with our existing operations include, among other things, operating distinct business segments that require different operating strategies and different managerial expertise, necessity of coordinating organization systems and facilities in different locations and integrating personnel with diverse backgrounds and organizational cultures. Failure to overcome these limitations and difficulties may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to successfully implement our organic growth strategy in Extrafarma, our future results of operations may not meet the expectations of investors, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares and ADSs.

Our main growth strategy for Extrafarma consists of the accelerated opening of new drugstores in Brazil by leveraging our access to Ipiranga and Ultragaz resellers’ sites (service stations and LPG shops). Our ability to open new drugstores could be affected if we are unable to find enough appropriate outlets for new drugstores, or if the necessary investments to adapt the property to our needs are too high. Stricter regulations, including those relating to land use and zoning laws in the regions in which we operate may also result in increased expenses and make it more difficult to find suitable outlets for opening our drugstores.

In addition, new or recently opened drugstores may not achieve maturity of its sales within the period we estimate. Also, our new or recently opened stores may adversely affect the profitability of our drugstores, what could adversely affect our business and our consolidated results.

Moreover, personnel are a key success factor in the retail pharmacy sector, and we may be adversely affected if we are unable to hire, train or retain employees. Our business strategy will require the opening of new drugstores, heightening the need to hire, train and retain employees. Failure to do so may impair the process of opening new stores and our operating and financial results. Additionally, a shortage of pharmacists in Brazil as a result of continued robust market growth may result in increased wages or limit our ability to retain or recruit new pharmacists and, consequently, limit our ability to open new drugstores in the long term.

Other risks associated with the opening of new drugstores include (i) entry of new competitors in the retail pharmacy sector, (ii) limited knowledge about the new regions where we may open new drugstores and (iii) decrease in demand for our products. Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to implement our organic growth strategy with respect to Extrafarma and, therefore, our business and operating and financial results. This could lead to our failure to meet the expectations of investors and to meet our goals for the operating and financial results of our drugstore business.

Rising climate change concerns could lead to additional regulatory measures that may result in increased costs of operation and compliance, as well as a decrease in demand for our products.

Due to concern over the risk of climate change, a number of countries, including Brazil, have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, regulatory frameworks to, among other things, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These include adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards, and incentives or mandates for renewable energy. These requirements could reduce demand for hydrocarbons, as well as shifting hydrocarbon demand toward relatively lower-carbon sources. In addition many governments are providing tax advantages and other subsidies and mandates to make alternative energy sources more competitive against oil and gas. Governments are also promoting research into new technologies to reduce the cost and increase the scalability of

21

alternative energy sources, all of which could lead to a decrease in demand for our products. In addition, current and pending greenhouse gas regulations may substantially increase our compliance costs and, as a result, increase the price of the products we produce or distribute.

Risks Relating to Brazil

The Brazilian government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy. Brazilian political and economic conditions could adversely affect our businesses and the market price of our shares and ADSs.

The Brazilian government frequently intervenes in the Brazilian economy and occasionally makes substantial changes in policy and regulations. The Brazilian government’s actions to control inflation and affect other policies and regulations have involved price and wage controls, currency devaluations, capital controls, and limits on imports, among other measures. Our businesses, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in policy or regulations involving or affecting tariffs, exchange controls and other matters, as well as factors such as:

• currency fluctuations;

• inflation;

• interest rates;

• price instability;

• energy and water shortages and rationing;

• liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets;

• fiscal policy; and

• other trade, political, diplomatic, social and economic developments in or affecting Brazil.

Uncertainty over whether the Brazilian government may implement changes in policy or regulation affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets and securities issued abroad by Brazilian issuers. These and other future developments in the Brazilian economy and government policies may adversely affect us and our businesses and results of operations and may adversely affect the trading price of our ADSs and shares. Furthermore, the Brazilian government may enact new regulations that may adversely affect us and our businesses.

Inflation and certain governmental measures to curb inflation may contribute significantly to economic uncertainty in Brazil and could harm our business and the market value of the ADSs and our shares.

In the past, Brazil has experienced extremely high rates of inflation. Inflation and some of the Brazilian government’s measures taken in an attempt to curb inflation have had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy. Since the introduction of the Real in 1994, Brazil’s inflation rate has been substantially lower than that in previous periods. However, during the last several years, the economy has experienced increasing inflation rates and actions taken in an effort to curb inflation, coupled with speculation about possible future governmental actions, have contributed to economic uncertainty in Brazil and heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities market. According to the Índice Geral de Preços-Mercado, or IGP-M, an inflation index, the Brazilian general price inflation rates were inflation of 5.5% in 2013, 7.8% in 2012, 5.1% in 2011, 11.3% in 2010 and deflation of 1.7% in 2009. From January 2014 to March 2014, IGP-M index was 2.5%. According to the Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo, or IPCA, an inflation index to which Brazilian government’s inflation targets are linked, inflation in Brazil was 5.9% in 2013, 5.8% in 2012, 6.5% in 2011, 5.9% in 2010 and 4.3% in 2009. From January 2014 to March 2014, inflation as measured by IPCA was 2.2%.

Brazil may experience high levels of inflation in the future. Our operating expenses are substantially in Reais and tend to increase with Brazilian inflation. Inflationary pressures may also hinder our ability to access foreign financial markets or may lead to further government intervention in the economy, including the introduction of government policies that could harm our business or adversely affect the market value of our shares and, as a result, our ADSs.

Exchange rate instability may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the market price of the ADSs and our shares.

During the last decades, the Brazilian government has implemented various economic plans and a number of exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini-devaluations during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly, floating exchange rate systems, exchange controls and dual exchange rate markets. Although over long periods depreciation of the Brazilian currency has been generally correlated with the rate of inflation in Brazil, there have historically been observed shorter periods of significant fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Brazilian currency and the U.S. dollar and other currencies, in particular in the last 10 years.

22

In 2009, the quick rebound of the Brazilian economy from the global financial crisis drove the inflow of foreign investments in the country, thus contributing to a 25% appreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar in 2009 – the highest appreciation in the decade. In 2010, the effects of the strong economic growth in Brazil, together with the public offering of shares of Petrobras in the third quarter, resulted in a record of foreign investments inflow to Brazil, contributing to a 4% appreciation of the Real against the US dollar. In 2011, the unstable international economic environment, as a consequence of the European crisis, contributed to a 13% depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar for the year. In 2012, the effects of the lower economic growth, the lower interest rate and the unstable international scenario resulted in a 9% depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar. In 2013, the Real depreciated 15% against the U.S. dollar due to the performance of the Brazilian economy, the economic rebound of the United States and the economic instability in the international markets. From January 1, 2014 to April 17, 2014 the Real depreciated 4% against the U.S. dollar. See “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Data — Exchange Rates.”

There are no guarantees that the exchange rate between the Real and the U.S. dollar will stabilize at current levels. Although we have contracted hedging instruments with respect to our existing U.S. dollar debt obligations, in order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the dollar/Real exchange rate, we could in the future experience monetary losses relating to these fluctuations. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — Foreign Exchange Risk” for information about our foreign exchange risk hedging policy.

Depreciations of the Real relative to the U.S. dollar can create additional inflationary pressures in Brazil that may negatively affect us. Depreciations generally curtail access to foreign financial markets and may prompt government intervention, including recessionary governmental policies. Depreciations also reduce the U.S. dollar value of distributions and dividends on the ADSs and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the market price of our shares and, as a result, the ADSs. On the other hand, appreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar may lead to a deterioration of the country’s current account and the balance of payments, as well as to a dampening of export-driven growth.

Although a large part of our sales is denominated in Reais, prices and certain costs in the chemical business (particularly ethylene and palm kernel oil, purchased by our subsidiary Oxiteno) are benchmarked to prices prevailing in the international markets. Hence, we are exposed to foreign exchange rate risks that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as our capacity to service our debt.

Developments and the perception of risk in other countries, especially emerging market countries, may adversely affect the results of our operations and the market price of the shares and ADSs.

The market value of securities of Brazilian companies is affected to varying degrees by economic and market conditions in other countries, including other Latin American and emerging market countries. Although economic conditions in such countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Brazil, investors’ reactions to developments in these other countries may have an adverse effect on the market value of securities of Brazilian issuers. Crises such as the global financial crisis started in 2008 may diminish investor interest in securities of Brazilian issuers, including our shares and ADSs. This could also make it more difficult for us to access the capital markets and finance our operations in the future on acceptable terms or at all.

Our businesses, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by a general economic downturn and by instability and volatility in the financial markets.

The turmoil of the global financial markets and the scarcity of credit in 2008 and 2009, and to a lesser extent, the European crisis deteriorated in 2011, led to lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction of business activity. An economic downturn could materially adversely affect the liquidity, businesses and/or financial conditions of our customers, which could in turn result not only in decreased demand for our products, but also increased delinquencies in our accounts receivable. Furthermore, an eventual new global financial crisis could have a negative impact on our cost of borrowing and on our ability to obtain future borrowings. The disruptions in the financial markets could also lead to a reduction in available trade credit due to counterparties’ liquidity concerns. If we experience a decrease in demand for our products or an increase in delinquencies in our accounts receivable, or if we are unable to obtain borrowings our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

23

Holders of our ADSs may face difficulties in serving process on or enforcing judgments against us and other relevant persons.

We are a company incorporated under the laws of Brazil. All members of our Board of Directors, executive officers and experts named in this annual report are residents of Brazil or have business address in Brazil. All or a substantial part of the assets pertaining to these individuals and to Ultrapar are located outside the United States. As a result, it is possible that investors may not be able to effect service of process upon these individuals or us in the United States or other jurisdictions outside Brazil, or enforce judgments against us or these other persons obtained in the United States or other jurisdictions outside Brazil, including for civil liability based upon United States federal securities laws or otherwise. In addition, because judgments of United States courts for civil liabilities based upon the United States federal securities laws may only be enforced in Brazil if certain conditions are met, holders may face greater difficulties in protecting their interests in the case of actions by us or our board of directors or executive officers than would shareholders of a United States corporation.

Risks Relating to the Shares and the American Depositary Shares

Asserting limited voting rights as a holder of ADSs may prove more difficult than for holders of our common shares.

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, only shareholders registered as such in our corporate books may attend shareholders’ meetings. All common shares underlying the ADSs are registered in the name of the depositary bank. A holder of ADSs, accordingly, is not entitled to attend shareholders’ meetings. A holder of ADSs is entitled to instruct the depositary bank as to how to vote the common shares underlying the ADSs in accordance with procedures provided for in the Deposit Agreement, but a holder of ADSs will not be able to vote directly at a shareholders’ meeting or appoint a proxy to do so. In addition, a holder of ADSs may not have sufficient or reasonable time to provide such voting instructions to the depositary bank in accordance with the mechanisms set forth in the Deposit Agreement and custody agreement, and the depositary bank will not be held liable for failure to deliver any voting instructions to such holders.

Holders of our shares or ADSs may not receive dividends.

Under our bylaws, unless otherwise proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the voting shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, we must generally pay our shareholders a mandatory distribution equal to at least 50% of our adjusted net income. However, our net income may be capitalized, used to set off losses and/or otherwise retained in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law and may not be available for the payment of dividends, including in the form of interest on shareholders’ equity. Therefore, whether or not you receive a dividend depends on the amount of the mandatory distribution, if any, and whether the Board of Directors and the voting shareholders exercise their discretion to suspend these payments. See “Item 8.A. Financial Information — Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information — Dividend and Distribution Policy — Dividend Policy” for a more detailed discussion of mandatory distributions.

Holders of our shares may be unable to exercise preemptive rights with respect to the shares.

In the event that we issue new shares pursuant to a capital increase or offer rights to purchase our shares, shareholders would have preemptive rights to subscribe for the newly issued shares or rights, as the case may be, corresponding to their respective interest in our share capital, allowing them to maintain their existing shareholder percentage.

However, our bylaws establish that the Board of Directors may exclude preemptive rights to the current shareholders or reduce the time our shareholders have to exercise their rights, in the case of an offering of new shares to be sold on a registered stock exchange or otherwise through a public offering.

The holders of our shares or ADSs may be unable to exercise their preemptive rights in relation to the shares represented by the ADSs, unless we file a registration statement for the offering of rights or shares with the SEC pursuant to the United States Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements applies. We are not obliged to file registration statements in order to facilitate the exercise of preemptive rights and, therefore, we cannot assure ADS holders that such a registration statement will be filed. As a result, the equity interest of such holders in our company may be diluted. However, if the rights or shares, as the case may be, are not registered as required, the depositary will try to sell the preemptive rights held by holder of the ADSs and you will have the right to the net sale value, if any. However, the preemptive rights will expire without compensation to you should the depositary not succeed in selling them.

24

If shareholders exchange ADSs for shares, they may lose certain foreign currency remittance and Brazilian tax advantages.

The ADSs benefit from the depositary’s certificate of foreign capital registration, which permits the depositary to convert dividends and other distributions with respect to the shares into foreign currency and remit the proceeds abroad. If you exchange your ADSs for shares, you will only be entitled to rely on the depositary’s certificate of foreign capital registration for five business days from the date of exchange. Thereafter, you will not be able to remit abroad non-Brazilian currency unless you obtain your own certificate of foreign capital registration or you qualify under National Monetary Council Resolution 2,689, dated January 26, 2000, known as Resolution 2,689, which entitles certain investors to buy and sell shares on Brazilian stock exchanges without obtaining separate certificates of registration. If you do not qualify under Resolution 2,689, you will generally be subject to less favorable tax treatment on distributions with respect to the shares. The depositary’s certificate of registration or any certificate of foreign capital registration obtained by you may be affected by future legislative or regulatory changes, and additional Brazilian law restrictions applicable to your investment in the ADSs may be imposed in the future. For a more complete description of Brazilian tax regulations, see “Item 10.E. Additional Information — Taxation — Brazilian Tax Consequences.”

The relative volatility and illiquidity of the Brazilian securities markets may adversely affect you.

Investing in securities, such as the shares or ADSs, of issuers from emerging market countries, including Brazil, involves a higher degree of risk than investing in securities of issuers from more developed countries. For the reasons above, investments involving risks relating to Brazil, such as investments in ADSs, are generally considered speculative in nature and are subject to certain economic and political risks, including but not limited to:

• changes to the regulatory, tax, economic and political environment that may affect the ability of investors to receive payments, in whole or in part, in respect of their investments; and

• restrictions on foreign investment and on repatriation of capital invested.

The Brazilian securities market is substantially smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. This may limit your ability to sell the shares underlying your ADSs at the price and time at which you wish to do so. The BM&FBOVESPA, the only Brazilian stock exchange, had a market capitalization of US$1.0 trillion as of December 31, 2013 and an average monthly trading volume of US$71 billion for 2013. In comparison, the NYSE had a market capitalization of US$18.0 trillion as of December 31, 2013 and an average monthly trading volume of US$0.7 trillion for 2013.

There is also a large concentration in the Brazilian securities market. The ten largest companies in terms of market capitalization represented 51% of the aggregate market capitalization of the BM&FBOVESPA as of December 31, 2013. The top ten stocks in terms of trading volume accounted for approximately 40% of all shares traded on the BM&FBOVESPA in 2013. Ultrapar’s average daily trading volume on both stock exchanges in 2013, 2012 and 2011 was, R$69.9 million, R$55.5 million and R$34.6 million, respectively.

Controls and restrictions on the remittance of foreign currency could negatively affect your ability to convert and remit dividends, distributions or the proceeds from the sale of our shares, Ultrapar’s capacity to make dividend payments to non-Brazilian investors and the market price of our shares and ADSs.

Brazilian law provides that, whenever there is a serious imbalance in the Brazilian balance of payments or reasons for believing that there will be a serious imbalance in the future, the Brazilian government can impose temporary restrictions on remittances of income on investments by non-Brazilian investors in Brazil. The probability that the Brazilian government might impose such restrictions is related to the level of the country’s foreign currency reserves, the availability of currency in the foreign exchange markets on the maturity date of a payment, the amount of the Brazilian debt servicing requirement in relation to the economy as a whole, and the Brazilian policy towards the International Monetary Fund, among other factors. We are unable to give assurances that the Central Bank will not modify its policies or that the Brazilian government will not introduce restrictions or cause delays in payments by Brazilian entities of dividends relating to securities issued in the overseas capital markets up to the present. Such restrictions or delays could negatively affect your ability to convert and remit dividends, distributions or the proceeds from the sale of our shares, Ultrapar’s capacity to make dividend payments to non-Brazilian investors and the market price of our shares and the ADSs.

Changes in Brazilian tax laws may have an adverse impact on the taxes applicable to a disposition of our ADSs.

According to Law No. 10,833, enacted on December 29, 2003, the disposition of assets located in Brazil by a non-resident to either a Brazilian resident or a non-resident is subject to taxation in Brazil, regardless of whether the disposal occurs outside or within

25

Brazil. In the event that the disposal of assets is interpreted to include a disposal of our ADSs, this tax law could result in the imposition of the withholding income tax on a disposal of our ADSs between non-residents of Brazil. See “Item 10.E. Additional Information — Taxation — Brazilian Tax Consequences — Taxation of Gains.”

Substantial sales of our shares or our ADSs could cause the price of our shares or our ADSs to decrease.

Shareholders of Ultra S.A., which own 22% of our shares, have the right to exchange their shares of Ultra S.A. for shares of Ultrapar and freely trade them in the market as more fully described under “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Major Shareholders — Shareholders’ Agreements.” Other shareholders, who may freely sell their respective shares, hold a substantial portion of our remaining shares. A sale of a significant number of shares could negatively affect the market value of the shares and ADSs. The market price of our shares and the ADSs could drop significantly if the holders of shares or the ADSs sell them or the market perceives that they intend to sell them.

There may be adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. shareholders if we are or become a PFIC under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

If we were characterized as a PFIC, in any year during which a U.S. Holder holds shares or ADSs, certain adverse U.S. federal tax income consequences could apply to that person. Based on the manner in which we currently operate our business, the projected composition of our income and valuation of our assets, and the current interpretation of the PFIC rules, we do not believe that we were a PFIC in 2013 and we do not expect to be a PFIC in the foreseeable future. However, because PFIC classification is a factual determination made annually and is subject to change and differing interpretations, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. U.S. Holders should carefully read “Item 10.E. Additional Information — Taxation — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for a description of the PFIC rules and consult their own tax advisors regarding the likelihood and consequences if we were treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

We were incorporated on December 20, 1953, with our origins going back to 1937, when Ernesto Igel founded Ultragaz and pioneered the use of LPG as cooking gas in Brazil, using bottles acquired from Companhia Zeppelin. The gas stove began to replace the traditional wood stove and, to a lesser degree, kerosene and coal, which dominated Brazilian kitchens at the time.

In 1966, the market demand for high-quality and safe transportation services led to the entrance in the transportation of chemicals, petrochemicals and LPG segments. In 1978, Tequimar, was founded for the specific purpose of operating the storage business.

We were also one of the pioneers in developing the Brazilian petrochemicals industry with the creation of Oxiteno in 1970, whose first plant was located in the Mauá petrochemical complex in São Paulo metropolitan area. In 1974, Oxiteno inaugurated its second industrial unit, in the Camaçari petrochemical complex in Bahia. In 1986, Oxiteno established its own research and development center in order to respond to specific customer needs.

In 1997, through Ultragaz, we introduced UltraSystem — a small bulk distribution system — to residential, commercial and industrial segments, and we started the process of geographical expansion through the construction of new LPG filling and satellite plants. We also concluded the capacity expansion of Oxiteno’s industrial unit in Camaçari Petrochemical Complex, in the state of Bahia.

On October 6, 1999, we concluded our initial public offering, listing our shares simultaneously on BM&FBOVESPA and NYSE.

In 2000, Ultragaz started the construction of four new filling plants, therefore covering a large portion of the Brazilian territory. Still in 2000, the first of the four new plants, located in Goiânia, in the state of Goiás, started operations. In 2001, Ultragaz started two new plants: in Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará, and in Duque de Caxias, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. In 2002, the company started operations at a filling plant in Betim, in the state of Minas Gerais.

26

In March 2000, Ultra S.A.’s shareholders signed an agreement, assuring equal treatment of all shareholders (holders of both common and/or preferred shares) in the event of any change in control — tag along rights. The agreement stipulated that any transfer of control of Ultrapar, either direct or indirect, would only be executed in conjunction with a public offer by the acquiring entity to purchase the shares of all shareholders in the same proportion and under the same price and payment terms as those offered to the controlling shareholders.

In April 2002, Oxiteno completed a tender offer for the acquisition of the shares of its subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste, through the acquisition of 93,871 shares of Oxiteno Nordeste by Oxiteno, representing approximately 73.3% of the shares held by minority shareholders. Oxiteno increased its share ownership from 97% to 98.9% for R$4.4 million.

In December 2002, we completed a corporate restructuring process that we began in October 2002. The effects of the corporate restructuring were:

• the merger of Gipóia Ltda., a company which held a 23% direct stake in Ultragaz and was owned by Ultra S.A., into Ultrapar, increasing Ultrapar’s ownership in Ultragaz from 77% to 100% of its total share capital. Ultrapar issued approximately 7.8 billion common shares in connection with this merger; and

• the exchange of shares issued by Oxiteno for shares issued by Ultrapar, increasing Ultrapar’s ownership in Oxiteno from 48% to 100% of its total share capital. The holders of approximately 12 million of Oxiteno’s shares elected to exchange their shares for shares in Ultrapar, which resulted in the issuance of approximately 5.4 billion common shares and 3.4 billion preferred shares by Ultrapar. We paid R$208.1 million to Oxiteno’s minority shareholders who exercised their statutory withdrawal rights and owned approximately 13 million shares of Oxiteno. The table below shows the effects of the corporate restructuring in our share capital:

	Total capital (in millions of Reais)		Common shares		Preferred shares		Total shares
As of December 31, 2001		433.9		37,984,012,500		15,015,987,500		53,000,000,000
Shares issued for:
Merger of Gipóia		38.5		7,850,603,880		—		7,850,603,880
Incorporation of Oxiteno’s shares		191.6		5,430,005,398		3,410,659,550		8,840,664,948
As of December 31, 2002		664.0		51,264,621,778		18,426,647,050		69,691,268,828

In August 2003, Ultragaz acquired Shell Gás, Royal Dutch Shell plc’s LPG operations in Brazil, for a total amount of R$170.6 million. With this acquisition, Ultragaz became the Brazilian market leader in LPG, with a 24% share of the Brazilian market on that date.

In December 2003, we concluded the acquisition of Canamex, a Mexican specialty chemicals company. Canamex had two plants in Mexico (Guadalajara and Coatzacoalcos). The acquisition amount was US$10.3 million, with no debt assumption. In June 2004, we acquired the operational assets of Rhodia Especialidades S.A. de C.V. in Mexico for US$2.7 million. Both acquisitions had the target of establishing a stronger presence in the Mexican petrochemical market and to create a production and distribution platform to serve the United States market. Since July, 2007, Canamex has been renamed Oxiteno Mexico S.A. de C.V., or Oxiteno Mexico.

In May 2004, at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting, the shareholders of Ultrapar approved the inclusion of tag along rights to the company’s bylaws, for all shareholders, at 100% of the offer price, improving a right that was previously established through a shareholders’ agreement dated March 22, 2000. The bylaws set forth that the sale of the control of Ultrapar, either direct or indirect, triggers a mandatory public offer by the acquiring entity for all of the shares in the same proportion and at the same terms and conditions (including price) as those offered for the control block.

In September 2004, the shareholders of Ultra S.A. signed a new shareholders’ agreement replacing the previous agreement. This new agreement sought to maintain a stable controlling shareholder block in Ultrapar. See “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Major Shareholders.”

In December 2004, Igel Participações S.A. and Avaré Participações S.A., former controlling shareholders of Ultra S.A., were dissolved, and, as a result, their shares in Ultra S.A. were distributed to their respective shareholders on a pro rata basis.

At a meeting held on February 2, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a stock dividend of 10,453,690,324 preferred shares of Ultrapar, or 15 shares for each 100 outstanding common or preferred shares as of February 16, 2005. As a result of the stock dividend, we issued 10,453,690,324 new preferred shares to our shareholders through a capitalization of reserves. At an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on February 22, 2005, our shareholders approved the issuance of additional preferred shares of Ultrapar to permit certain shareholders, including Ultra S.A., to exchange common shares of Ultrapar held by them into preferred shares at a ratio of one common share for one preferred share. Common shares tendered for exchange into preferred shares were cancelled.

27

In April 2005, we concluded a primary and secondary offering of our preferred shares. The offering consisted of 7,869,671,318 preferred shares owned by Monteiro Aranha S.A. and certain shareholders of Ultra S.A., and 1,180,450,697 newly issued preferred shares resulting from the exercise of an overallotment option. The offering price was R$40.00 per thousand preferred shares and the offering totaled R$362 million. As a result of the offering, Ultrapar’s total capital increased by R$47 million, to a total of approximately R$946 million. The total shares outstanding were 81,325,409,849 shares, with 49,429,897,261 common shares and 31,895,512,588 preferred shares.

In July 2005, at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held, our shareholders approved a reverse stock split of all our issued common and preferred shares. As a result, each 1,000 shares of any class would be converted into one share of each such class. In connection with this reverse stock split, we authorized a change to the ADS ratio of our ADR program from one ADS representing 1,000 preferred shares to one ADS representing one preferred share. This reverse stock split and ratio change became effective on August 23, 2005. As a result of the reverse stock split, we have amended our bylaws. After the reverse stock split, we had 81,325,409 shares outstanding, with 49,429,897 common shares and 31,895,512 preferred shares.

In July 2005, Ultracargo started up a new terminal in Santos, its second port terminal that integrates road, rail and maritime transportation systems. The new terminal had a storage capacity of 33.5 thousand cubic meters for chemical products, 40 thousand cubic meters for ethanol and 38 thousand cubic meters for vegetable oil at the time.

In August 2006, Ultrapar announced the signing of an agreement between its subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste and Braskem, for the supply of ethylene, with a 15-year term. Under this contract, the current annual minimum purchase commitment is 205 thousand tons of ethylene with a maximum of 220 thousand tons of ethylene per year. The agreed upon supply price is indexed to ethylene prices in the international market and to the volume effectively purchased by Oxiteno. In 2006, Ultrapar also announced its plans to expand its ethylene oxide and specialty chemicals production capacity at Oxiteno’s plants located in Mauá, São Paulo and in Camaçari, Bahia.

In August 2006, Oxiteno opened its first commercial office outside Brazil, in Buenos Aires, Argentina — Oxiteno Argentina S.R.L.

In April 2007, Ultrapar acquired the control of the Southern Distribution Business, EMCA and a one-third stake in RPR, in connection with the acquisition of the Ipiranga Group. Following the acquisition, Ultrapar, which was already the largest LPG distributor in Brazil, became the second largest fuel distributor in Brazil, with a 14% market share in 2007. Entering fuel distribution business was a natural extension of LPG distribution as it has similar profitability drivers: logistics efficiency, management of a dealer network and leveraging a renowned brand. The rationale for the acquisition also included the attractive growth prospects of the fuel distribution business in light of increased fuel consumption in Brazil in the recent past, principally due to increased national income, greater availability of credit and reducing unfair competitive practices, which caused the grey market to decline in relation to the formal market. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Description of the Acquisition of Ipiranga Group.”

In April 2007, Ultrapar acquired the sulfate and sulfonate assets of Unión Química S.A. de C.V., in San Juan del Río, Mexico through its subsidiary Oxiteno Mexico. The investment for this acquisition totaled US$4.0 million and was financed entirely by Oxiteno Mexico in the local market.

In September 2007, Oxiteno acquired Arch Andina, a subsidiary of the U.S. company Arch Chemicals, Inc. At such time, Arch Andina was the sole producer of ethoxylates in Venezuela, which had been the only ethylene oxide producing country in Latin America where Oxiteno did not have operations. This acquisition was consistent with the company’s growth and expansion strategy in Latin America. The amount of the acquisition was US$7.6 million. The company was renamed Oxiteno Andina. Also in September 2007, Oxiteno announced the opening of a sales office in the United States. The company intended to leverage its position in the American market, particularly with respect to specialty chemicals.

In January 2008, Ultrapar significantly increased the liquidity of its shares through the issuance of 55 million preferred shares, as a consequence of the Share Exchange. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Description of the Acquisition of Ipiranga Group.” The Share Exchange increased Ultrapar’s free float from 32 million shares to 87 million shares, with the free float reaching 64% of the company’s total capital from 39% previously. Ultrapar’s shares achieved a new level of trading liquidity in equity markets, with average trading volume higher than the historical average of Ultrapar, RPR, CBPI and DPPI combined. This significant increase in the size of the free float helped Ultrapar to become part of Ibovespa, the BM&FBOVESPA index, as well as the MSCI index, which is widely recognized in international financial markets. In addition, the Share Exchange resulted in greater alignment of interests of all the company’s shareholders and the extension of Ultrapar’s recognized corporate governance standards to all the former shareholders of RPR, DPPI and CBPI.

28

In June 2008, Ultrapar announced that its subsidiary Ultracargo signed the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of União Terminais held by Unipar. In October 2008, Ultrapar completed the acquisition in relation to the port terminals in Santos and Rio de Janeiro. In November 2008, it completed the acquisition of 50% of the total capital stock held by Unipar of União/Vopak, which owned a port terminal in Paranaguá. The combination of its operations with those of União Terminais doubled the size of Ultracargo in terms of EBITDA, and made it the largest liquid bulk storage company in Brazil, strengthening its operating scale. With this acquisition, Ultracargo increased its presence at the port of Santos, the largest Brazilian port, and is now strategically positioned in the ports of Rio de Janeiro and Paranaguá, where the company did not previously have operations. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Description of the Acquisition of União Terminais.”

In July 2008, Oxiteno inaugurated its first sales office in Europe and the third outside Brazil in Brussels, Belgium, as part of Oxiteno’s internationalization strategy.

In August 2008, Ultrapar announced that its subsidiary SBP entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Chevron for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of CBL and Galena. In March 2009, Ultrapar completed the acquisition and paid R$1,106 million to Chevron, in addition to a US$38 million deposit that it had made to Chevron in August 2008. In August 2009, Ultrapar also paid R$162 million related to the expected working capital adjustment as set forth in the sale and purchase agreement. Texaco marketed fuel throughout Brazil, except for the state of Roraima, through a network of more than two thousand service stations and directly to large clients, supported by a logistics infrastructure with 48 distribution terminals. Texaco’s acquisition was part of Ultrapar’s strategy to increase its operational scale in the fuel distribution business and to expand its operations to the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil. The combination with Texaco created a nationwide fuel distribution business, with a 21% market share in 2009, strengthening its competitiveness through a larger operational scale. The addition of Texaco allowed, for example, improved efficiency and competitiveness in the distribution and sales processes, dilution of advertising, marketing and product development expenses and gains of scale in administrative functions. Additionally, Texaco’s acquisition led to Ultrapar geographical expansion in the sector, allowing the company to operate in regions with consumption growth above the national average, and brought new commercial opportunities arising from the national coverage. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Description of the Acquisition of Texaco.”

In August 2008, Ultrapar announced the execution of a supply contract between Oxiteno and Quattor for the supply of ethylene to the Mauá unit, in the state of São Paulo, effective through 2023. The long-term contract establishes the ethylene supply conditions, referenced on the international market. The volume contracted allowed the increase of at least 30% in the ethylene oxide production compared to 2007. At the same time, Oxiteno sold the equity interest it owned in Quattor, equivalent to 2,803,365 shares, for approximately R$46 million.

In October 2008, certain production capacity expansions at Oxiteno were completed, including (i) the operational start-up of the oleochemicals plant with an annual production capacity of approximately 100 thousand tons of fatty alcohols and by-products; (ii) the expansion of the ethylene oxide unit at Mauá, adding 38 thousand tons to the annual production capacity of this product; and (iii) the expansion of the ethoxylate and ethanolamine production at Camaçari, adding 120 thousand tons to the annual capacity of these products. These expansions aimed at replacing imports and meeting the increased demand for specialty chemicals in the Brazilian market, mainly in the crop protection, cosmetics, detergents and coatings segments.

In November 2008 and December 2008, in order to simplify the corporate structure, Ultragaz Participações S.A. and DPPI were merged into CBPI, respectively, thus consolidating all companies that operate in the distribution business into one single company.

In February 2009, a capital increase of R$15 million was approved at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting of RPR through the issuance of 15 million new common and preferred shares and the admission of new shareholders in its capital stock, as part of the acquisition of the Ipiranga Group. As a result, RPR ceased to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultrapar. Ultrapar now retains an equity interest of 33% in RPR.

In December 2009, shareholders of Ultra S.A. entered into a new shareholders’ agreement that replaced the shareholders’ agreement executed on September 2004, which was to expire on December 16, 2009. The terms and conditions of the new shareholders’ agreement were substantially the same as those of the previous agreement and had a two-year term. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company” and “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Major Shareholders.”

In December 2009, Ultrapar, through Ultracargo, paid R$44 million for the acquisition of Puma Storage do Brasil Ltda., or Puma, a storage terminal for liquid bulk with 83 thousand cubic meters capacity located at the port of Suape, in the state of Pernambuco. This acquisition strengthened Ultracargo’s position in the region of the port of Suape, enhanced its operational scale and represented another step in Ultracargo’s strategy of strengthening its position as an important provider of storage for liquid bulk in Brazil.

In March 2010, Ultrapar entered into a sale and purchase agreement to sell Ultracargo’s in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses to Aqces for R$82 million. In July 2010, the sale closed with the transfer of shares of AGT and Petrolog to Aqces in exchange for R$74 million, which was in addition to the R$8 million deposit received upon signing the sale and purchase agreement on March 31, 2010. In October 2010, Ultrapar disbursed R$2 million in connection with the expected working capital adjustment. This transaction allowed Ultracargo to focus exclusively on its liquid bulk storage business, a segment in which it has a leadership position.

In August 2010, Oxiteno concluded the expansion of the ethoxylate unit at Camaçari, which added 70 thousand tons per year to its production capacity. With this expansion, Oxiteno consolidated its position as the world’s second largest ethoxylate producer.

In October 2010, Ultrapar, through Ipiranga, entered into a sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of DNP. The total value of the acquisition is R$73 million, with an initial disbursement of R$47 million in November 2010 and additional disbursements of R$26 million in January 2011 and R$1 million in July 2011. DNP distributed fuels in the states of Amazonas, Rondônia, Roraima, Acre, Pará and Mato Grosso through a network of 110 service stations, with 4% market share in 2009 in the North of Brazil, and was the fourth largest fuel distributor in this geographic area. In 2009, the combined volume of diesel, gasoline and ethanol sold by DNP totaled approximately 260 thousand cubic meters, with EBITDA of R$17 million. This transaction reinforced the strategy of expansion, initiated with the acquisition of Texaco, to the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil.

In February 2011, the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting approved a stock split of the shares issued by Ultrapar, resulting in each share converting into four shares of the same class and type, with no modification in the shareholders’ financial position or interest in the company. The shares resulting from the stock split granted its holders including holders of ADSs, the same rights attributable to the shares previously held, including dividends, interest on capital and any payments on capital approved by the company. After the stock split, the 1:1 ratio between preferred shares and ADSs was maintained, and each ADS consequently continued to represent one share.

In April 2011, our Board of Directors, at a meeting held, approved the submission to the shareholders of the company a proposal to (a) convert any and all shares of preferred stock issued by the company into shares of common stock, on a 1:1 conversion ratio; (b) amend the company’s bylaws, modifying several of its provisions, aiming to strengthen the company’s corporate governance; and (c) adhere to the Novo Mercado segment rules. The Conversion was approved by a majority vote at the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting and special preferred shareholders’ meeting each held on June 28, 2011, whereby all preferred shares issued by the company were converted into common shares, at a ratio of one preferred share for one common share. The material amendments to the previous bylaws were the following: (a) the requirement of a mandatory tender offer for 100% of the company’s shareholders in the event a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert, acquire or become holders of 20% of the company’s shares, excluding treasury shares. The tender offer price must be the highest price per share paid by the buyer in the previous six months, adjusted by the SELIC rate; (b) the requirement of a minimum of 30% of independent members (as defined in the Novo Mercado segment rules) of the Board of Directors; and (c) the creation of audit and compensation committees, as ancillary bodies of the Board of Directors, each with three members. The audit committee must be composed of three independent members, of whom at least two are not directors; and the compensation committee must be composed of at least two independent directors.

In August 2011, Ultrapar’s shares began trading on the Novo Mercado under ticker symbol UGPA3. Simultaneously, Ultrapar’s ADSs, formerly represented by preferred shares, began representing Ultrapar’s common shares and began trading on the NYSE under this new format. Additionally, on the same date, Ultrapar’s new amended bylaws became effective. In April 2011, Ultra S.A.’s shareholders executed a new shareholders’ agreement (“the 2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement”), which became effective upon the approval of the Conversion and replaced the shareholders’ agreement executed in December 2009. The terms and conditions of the 2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement were substantially the same as the previous shareholders’ agreement, except, primarily, for (a) the requirement for prior approval at a shareholders’ meeting for a third party to become an Ultra S.A. shareholder, and (b) the purpose and form of the preliminary meetings to be held prior to certain shareholders’ meetings of the company. See “Exhibit 2.8 — 2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2011.”

In August 2011, we completed the expansion of the ethylene oxide plant in Camaçari, increasing the production capacity by 90 thousand tons per year. This expansion concluded an important investment cycle in the expansion of Oxiteno.

In August 2011, Oxiteno opened a commercial office in Bogota, Colombia — Oxiteno Colombia S.A.S.

30

In September 2011, Ultracargo’s expanded terminal in Suape started operations, increasing its storage capacity by 26 thousand cubic meters. This project was part of Ultracargo’s expansion plan started in 2010.

In October 2011, Ultrapar acquired, through Ultragaz, Repsol’s LPG distribution business in Brazil for a total value of R$50 million, which included R$2 million related to the net cash of the acquired company. Repsol solely distributed bulk LPG and had a 1% share in the LPG bulk distribution market in Brazil at the time of the acquisition. The acquisition of Repsol’s business strengthened Ultragaz’s bulk LPG business, a segment in which Ultragaz pioneered, producing economies of scale in logistics and management, as well as an improved positioning for growth in the bulk segment, where increase in sales volume is correlated to Brazilian GDP growth. After the acquisition, Repsol was renamed to Distribuidora de Gás LP Azul S.A. In December 2012, in order to simplify the corporate structure, it was merged into Cia Ultragaz.

In April 2012, Oxiteno acquired a specialty chemicals plant in the United States for US$15 million, with no debt assumption. The plant is located in Pasadena, Texas, one of the most important chemical hubs in the world, benefiting from attractive feedstock conditions, including competitive natural gas-based raw materials, and highly efficient logistics infrastructure. During 2012 and 2013, Oxiteno invested R$42 million in capital expenditures to retrofit the plant for its product line of specialty surfactants. The total production capacity is 32 thousand tons per year and operations started in late 2012. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Investments” for more information.

In May 2012, the Board of Directors approved the nomination of Thilo Mannhardt to succeed Pedro Wongtschowski as Chief Executive Officer starting January 1, 2013. Thilo Mannhardt has extensively participated in strategic and operational projects of Ultrapar’s businesses for over 15 years as a senior partner at McKinsey & Company and as a member of the Board of Directors of the company in 2011 and 2012. Pedro Wongtschowski, in turn, replaced Thilo Mannhardt in the Board of Directors. The succession process was held in accordance with Ultrapar’s philosophy; adequately planned and conducted with transparency. The nomination of Thilo Mannhardt for CEO and of Pedro Wongtschowski for the Board of Directors represented the continuity of Ultrapar’s management and business philosophy.

In May 2012, Oxiteno opened a commercial office in Shanghai, China — Oxiteno Shanghai Trading LTD.

In July 2012, Ultracargo acquired Temmar from Temmar Netherlands B.V. and Noble Netherlands B.V., subsidiaries of Noble Group Limited for R$68 million, in addition to the assumption of net debt in the amount of R$91 million. In December 2013, in order to simplify our corporate structure, the subsidiary Temmar was merged into Tequimar. Temmar owned a terminal in the port of Itaqui, which added 55 thousand cubic meters to Ultracargo’s capacity. In addition, Ultrapar will disburse a minimum additional amount of R$12 million, which may reach approximately R$30 million as a result of possible future expansions in the storage capacity of the terminal, provided that such expansions are implemented within the next seven years after the acquisition. The port of Itaqui has a strategic location and efficient logistics, which includes access to railways, and is responsible for supplying the fuel market in the states of Maranhão, Piauí and Tocantins, where fuel consumption has been growing above the national average. This acquisition marked the entry of Ultracargo in this important market and enhanced its operational scale, strengthening its position as a provider of storage for liquid bulk in Brazil and adding 8% to the company’s storage capacity.

In September 2012, we concluded an expansion in the terminal of Santos, adding 30 thousand cubic meters to Ultracargo’s storage capacity. This expansion, together with the expansion in the same terminal concluded in January 2012, which added 12 thousand cubic meters to its capacity, and with the expansion in the terminal of Aratu concluded in June 2012, which added approximately 4 thousand cubic meters to its capacity, represented combined additional storage capacity of 46 thousand cubic meters to Ultracargo. This project was part of Ultracargo’s expansion plan started in 2010, to increase its total storage capacity by 15%.

In November 2012, Oxiteno acquired American Chemical (current Oxiteno Uruguay), a Uruguayan specialty chemicals company, for R$107 million, in addition to the assumption of R$33 million in net debt. Oxiteno Uruguay’s production capacity is 81 thousand tons per year, particularly sulfonate and sulfate surfactants for the home and personal care industries, as well as products for the leather industry. With the acquisition of Oxiteno Uruguay, Oxiteno continued the expansion of its international activities, initiated in 2003 and based on its deep knowledge of the technology for the production and application of surfactants and specialty chemicals and on a strong relationship with its customers.

In November 2012, Ipiranga and Odebrecht TransPort Participações S.A. formed a joint venture to operate in the segment of electronic payment for tolls, parking and fuels – ConectCar. This joint venture was driven by new rules to incentivize competition in this segment and combines the experience and complementarity of its partners, each with a 50% interest in the company. The partners will jointly invest up to R$150 million over the initial years of operation. ConectCar fits into Ipiranga’s strategy of differentiation, offering more products and services in its service station network focused on convenience and practicality, generating benefits for its clients, retailers and for the company itself. ConectCar started operations in April 2013 and operates in markets that have strong growth perspectives.

31

In May 2013, Ultracargo concluded an expansion in the terminal of Aratu, adding 22 thousand cubic meters, and in the terminal of Santos, adding 4 thousand cubic meters, totaling 26 thousand cubic meters of additional storage capacity.

In September 2013, we announced that we entered into an association agreement with Extrafarma, one of Brazil’s top ten drugstore chains, marking our entry in the retail pharmacy sector. In January 2014, at a shareholders’ meeting attended by shareholders holding 74.0% of our total capital, 99.8% of present approved a merger of shares of Extrafarma and our company, pursuant to which Extrafarma became our wholly-owned subsidiary and Extrafarma former shareholders became shareholders of Ultrapar. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Recent Developments — Description of the Extrafarma Transaction” and “Exhibit 4.17 – Summary of the Association and Other Covenants Agreement, dated September 30, 2013.”

Description of the Acquisition of Ipiranga Group

On March 19, 2007, Ultrapar, Petrobras and Braskem announced their intent to acquire the Ipiranga Group and that on March 18, 2007, Ultrapar had entered into, and Petrobras and Braskem had acknowledged, Ipiranga Group SPA with the Key Shareholders of the principal companies constituting of the Ipiranga Group. In connection with the acquisition of Ipiranga Group, Ultrapar acted on its own behalf and on behalf of Petrobras and Braskem pursuant to the Ipiranga Group Transaction Agreements. Ultrapar acted as a commission agent, under Articles 693 through 709 of the Brazilian Civil Code, for Petrobras and Braskem in the acquisition of the Petrochemical Business, and for Petrobras for the acquisition of Northern Distribution Business.

Following the acquisition, Ultrapar, which was already Brazil’s largest LPG distributor, became the second largest fuel distributor in the country, with a 14% market share in 2007. Ultrapar believes that fuel distribution is a natural extension of LPG distribution as it has similar profitability drivers: logistics efficiency, management of a dealer network and leveraging a renowned brand. The rationale for the acquisition also included the attractive growth perspectives for the fuel distribution business in light of increased fuel consumption in Brazil in the recent past, principally due to increased national income, greater availability of credit and curbing unfair competitive practices, which cause the grey market to decline in relation to the formal market. After the completion of all steps of the acquisition of Ipiranga Group, its businesses were divided among Petrobras, Ultrapar and Braskem. Ultrapar retained the fuel and lubricant distribution businesses located in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil; Petrobras received the fuel and lubricant distribution businesses located in the North, Northeast and Midwest regions of Brazil; Petrobras and Braskem received the Petrochemical Business, in the proportion of 60% for Braskem and 40% for Petrobras.

For a more detailed discussion of the acquisition of Ipiranga Group, see our Form F-4 filed with the Commission on December 17, 2007.

Description of the Acquisition of União Terminais

In June 2008, Ultrapar announced that its subsidiary Ultracargo entered into a sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of União Terminais held by Unipar. In October 2008, Ultrapar completed the acquisition in relation to the port terminals in Santos and Rio de Janeiro. In November 2008, it closed the acquisition of 50% of the total capital stock of União/Vopak held by Unipar, which owned a port terminal in Paranaguá. The total amount of the acquisition was R$519 million, which included the assumption of net debt of R$32 million on September 30, 2008.

União Terminais had two port terminals for storage and handling of liquid bulk, with total capacity of 119 thousand cubic meters. The main facility, located in Santos (in the state of São Paulo), has storage capacity of 102 thousand cubic meters and concluded an expansion that added 20% (21 thousand cubic meters) to its capacity. The main products handled in this terminal are fuels, ethanol and chemicals. The terminal located in Rio de Janeiro has a storage capacity of 17 thousand cubic meters and the main products handled in this terminal are chemicals and lubricants. União Terminais also held 50% of the total capital of União/Vopak, which owns a port terminal in Paranaguá (in the state of Paraná) with storage capacity of 60 thousand cubic meters for the handling of vegetable oil and chemical products.

The combination of its operations with those of União Terminais doubled the size of Ultracargo in terms of EBITDA, and made it the largest liquid bulk storage company in Brazil, strengthening its operating scale. With this acquisition, Ultracargo has increased its presence at the port of Santos, the largest Brazilian port, and is now strategically positioned in the ports of Rio de Janeiro and Paranaguá, where the company did not have operations.

Description of the Acquisition of Texaco

In August 2008, Ultrapar announced that its subsidiary SBP entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Chevron for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of CBL and Galena. Prior to the closing, Chevron’s lubricant and oil exploration activities in Brazil were spun-off from CBL and Galena to other Chevron’s legal entities.

32

On March 31, 2009, Ultrapar completed this acquisition and paid R$1,106 million to Chevron, in addition to the US$38 million deposit that it had made to Chevron in August 2008. In August 2009, Ultrapar also paid R$162 million related to the expected working capital adjustment, reflecting the increased working capital effectively received by Ultrapar on the closing date of the acquisition (as set forth in the sale and purchase agreement).

Texaco marketed fuel in the entire Brazilian territory, except for the state of Roraima, through a network of more than 2,000 service stations and directly to large clients, supported by a logistics infrastructure with 48 distribution terminals. Texaco’s acquisition was part of Ultrapar’s strategy to increase its operational scale in the fuel marketing business and expand its operations to the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil. The combination with Texaco created a nationwide fuel marketing business, with a 21% market share in 2009, strengthening its competitiveness through a larger operational scale. The addition of Texaco allowed, for example, improved efficiency and competitiveness in the distribution and sales processes, dilution of advertising, marketing and product development expenses and gains of scale in administrative functions. Additionally, Texaco’s acquisition led to Ultrapar geographical expansion in the sector, allowing the company to reach regions with consumption growth above the national average, and brought new commercial opportunities arising from the national coverage.

After completion of the acquisition, Ultrapar implemented its business plan, which consisted of two main work streams (i) the integration of operations, administrative and financial functions of Texaco, and (ii) the implementation of Ipiranga’s business model in the expanded network, with a wider range of products and services and a differentiated approach to its resellers. As of December 31, 2012, Ultrapar had also converted all the conversion of the acquired Texaco branded stations into the Ipiranga brand. Under the terms of the Ipiranga Group Transaction Agreements, Petrobras had the exclusive right to use Ipiranga’s brand in the operating regions of the Northern Distribution Business for five years from the date of the acquisition of Ipiranga Group, which expired in March 2012. Until then, Ipiranga operated under the Texaco brand in those regions.

Recent Developments

In January 2014, our shareholders approved a merger of all shares issued by Extrafarma and our company, pursuant to which Extrafarma became our wholly-owned subsidiary and Extrafarma’s former shareholders became shareholders of Ultrapar. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Recent Developments — Description of the Extrafarma Transaction” below.

In January 2014, the subsidiary IPP renegotiated all of its loans with Banco do Brasil, in the principal amount of R$909.5 million, to extend their maturity dates to January 2017, and changed their respective interest rates to floating interest rate of 105.5% of CDI. Also in January 2014, the subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas renegotiated a foreign loan in the amount of US$ 60 million to extend its maturity to January 2017.

In January 2014, the subsidiary IPP made its second public issuance of public debentures in single series of 80,000 simple, nonconvertible into shares, unsecured, nominative and registered debentures, with face unit value of R$10,000.00. These debentures mature in December 2018, with payment of the face value in a lump sum at final maturity, and bear interest rate of 107.9% of CDI paid semi-annually.

In February 2014, Ultra S.A.’s shareholders executed a new shareholders’ agreement which became effective as of that date and replaced the 2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement. The Ultra S.A. shareholders agreement’s main terms are substantially related to (i) the decision process of Ultra S.A.’s vote at Ultrapar’s shareholders meetings and (ii) procedures to exchange any party’s shares in Ultra S.A. into shares of Ultrapar. The terms and conditions of the new shareholders’ agreement are substantially the same as the previous shareholder’s agreement among the same parties effective since 2011, except, mainly, for the replacement of preliminary meetings among the agreeing parties for extraordinary shareholders’ meetings of Ultra S.A. to decide upon the vote of Ultra S.A. regarding certain matters in general shareholders’ meetings of Ultrapar. See “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Major Shareholders — Shareholders’ Agreements” and “Exhibit 2.13 – 2014 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2014.”

Extrafarma Transaction

Summary. On September 30, 2013 Ultrapar entered into an association agreement with Extrafarma, one of Brazil’s ten largest drugstore chains. According to the terms of the agreement, Ultrapar and Extrafarma entered into an incorporação de ações (merger of

33

shares), pursuant to which Ultrapar acquired 100% of the shares of Extrafarma in exchange for up to 2.9% of shares issued by Ultrapar to Extrafarma’s shareholders. The Extrafarma Transaction closed on January 31, 2014 with its approval by the Extraordinary General Meetings of Ultrapar and Extrafarma and, consequently, Extrafarma became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultrapar from February 1, 2014 onwards. The total consideration of the Extrafarma Transaction consisted of the issuance of up to 16,028,131 shares of Ultrapar and the assumption by Ultrapar of Extrafarma’s net debt of R$106 million as of December 31, 2012.

Motivation and strategic rationale.

A significant market, with strong potential for growth and consolidation - The Brazilian retail pharmacy market’s total revenues, according to data from IMS Health and ABIHPEC, exceeded R$60 billion in 2012, with real growth rate of over 10% per year in the last five years. This market is expected to continue on its growth path, mainly due to the (i) aging population; (ii) increasing consumer income; (iii) greater access to medicines, especially due to the growing participation of generic drugs; and (iv) growing demand for personal care and beauty products. In addition, industry consolidation, leveraged by increasing market formalization and consequent investments, is in its initial stage.

Extrafarma is one of the leaders in regions of higher growth - With over 50 years of activity in pharmaceuticals distribution, Extrafarma operated 195 drugstores at the end of 2013 in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, and is one of the leaders in its region. Extrafarma operates in areas where recent growth rates are above the national average and that present attractive potential for future growth, counting on renowned and experienced professionals in the sector.

Ultrapar’s plan is to strengthen and accelerate the expansion of Extrafarma - We believe Extrafarma’s association with Ultrapar allows the acceleration of Extrafarma’s expansion plan through (i) increased investment capacity, (ii) access to drugstore openings in Ipiranga’s service stations and Ultragaz’s resellers, with over 10 thousand retail outlets; and (iii) the strengthening of Extrafarma’s experienced retail pharmacy management team, by implementing Ultrapar’s recognized mechanisms of corporate governance, incentives, and alignment of interests. These mechanisms are also expected to contribute to an efficient integration of the operations into Ultrapar and to the development of business models that are increasingly attractive to Extrafarma’s, Ipiranga’s and Ultragaz’s consumers, thus increasing these businesses’ differentiation potential.

Structure of the Extrafarma Transaction. The association became effective through an incorporação de ações (merger of shares), pursuant to which Ultrapar acquired from the former seven shareholders of Extrafarma (who are the heirs of Extrafarma’s founder) all of the shares of Extrafarma in exchange for 12,021,100 newly issued shares of Ultrapar, in accordance with Art. 252 of Brazilian Corporate Law, in addition to subscription warrants that, if exercised, may lead to the issuance of up to 4,007,031 shares in the future.

On January 31, 2014, the incorporação de ações (merger of all shares) was approved at the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings of Ultrapar and Extrafarma (the “Closing”). As a result of the merger of shares, 12,021,100 new ordinary, nominative book-entry shares with no par value were issued, taking Ultrapar’s issued capital to 556,405,096 shares. In addition, the company issued subscription warrants that, if exercised, may lead to the issuance of up to 4,007,031 shares in the future, pursuant to the terms of the Protocol and Justification of Merger of Shares, entered into by the managers of Ultrapar and Extrafarma and published on December 19, 2013. See “Exhibit 4.18. — Protocol and Justification of Incorporação de Ações (merger of shares).”

Ultrapar’s 12,021,100 shares issued and transferred to the former shareholders of Extrafarma are subject to lock-up agreements and become available for trading in phases: 33.5% immediately available for trading after the Closing, and the remaining shares to be unlocked in five annual tranches of 8.3%, with a final tranche of 25% to be unlocked in the sixth year after the Closing.

As a mechanism for possible adjustments related to contingencies whose triggering event occurred prior to the Closing, it has been established that the last 25% (4,007,031 shares) of Ultrapar’s shares to be issued to Extrafarma shareholders should be delivered in the form of subscription warrants that can be exercised after 6 years from the Closing. The shares to be issued as a result of the exercises of the subscription warrants may be reduced as a result of certain adjustment factors.

Extrafarma became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultrapar, and the former shareholders of Extrafarma became long-term shareholders of Ultrapar, which evidences their confidence in the growth potential of the sector and in the project to be developed by Ultrapar and Extrafarma. Mr. Paulo Correa Lazera, Extrafarma’s shareholder and CEO, is in charge of our retail pharmacy business as its Chief Operating Officer and became a member of Ultrapar’s executive board. See “Item 6.A. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Directors and Senior Management.”

Total organic investments(3), net of disposals		1,089.4			1,310.3		1,004.1

(1) Includes mainly capital expenditures related to corporate information technology and headquarters’ building maintenance.

(2) Financing and bonuses to our resellers, net of repayments. Bonuses are lump sum payments made by distributors to resellers. Resellers typically use these payments to improve their facilities or to invest in working capital. Financing for clients is included under working capital in the cash flow statement and bonuses are included under intangible assets.

(3) Organic investments consist of acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and financing and repayments to resellers, and do not include investments in acquisitions of subsidiaries and interest in other companies neither capital increases in joint ventures and associates.

We have also made several acquisitions and related investments to maintain and create new opportunities for growth and to consolidate our position in the markets in which we operate.

In October 2011, Ultragaz acquired Repsol’s LPG distribution business in Brazil for a total value of R$50 million, which includes R$2 million related to the net cash of the acquired company. Repsol’s LPG distribution business had a 1% share in the LPG bulk distribution market in Brazil at the time of the acquisition. The acquisition of Repsol’s business strengthened Ultragaz’s bulk LPG business, a segment which Ultragaz pioneered, producing economies of scale in logistics and management, as well as an improved positioning for growth in the bulk segment, where increases in sales volume is correlated to Brazilian GDP growth.

In July 2012, Ultracargo acquired Temmar, and in November 2012, Oxiteno acquired American Chemical. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.” The acquisition of Temmar marked the entry of Ultracargo in the port of Itaqui, in the state of Maranhão, and enhanced its operational scale, strengthening its position as a provider of storage for liquid bulk in Brazil and adding 8% to the company’s current capacity at the time. With the acquisition of American Chemical, Oxiteno continued the expansion of its international activities, initiated in 2003 and based on its knowledge of the technology for the production and application of surfactants and specialty chemicals and on a strong relationship with its customers.

35

In November 2012, Ipiranga and Odebrecht TransPort Participações S.A. formed a joint venture to operate in the segment of electronic payment for tolls, parking and fuels — ConectCar. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.”

In 2013, Ultrapar invested R$1,089 million, excluding acquisitions, to improve scale and productivity. Ultragaz invested R$151 million in 2013, mainly focused on capturing new clients in the bulk segment, replacement of bottles and maintenance of its bottling facilities. Ipiranga invested R$746 million in 2013, of which (i) R$348 million in the expansion of its distribution network (through the conversion of unbranded service stations, the opening of new gas stations and new customers) and Jet Oil and am/pm franchises, focused on the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil, (ii) R$86 million in expanding its logistics infrastructure to support the growing demand, through the construction and expansion of 10 logistics facilities, and (iii) R$312 million in the maintenance of its operations, mainly in the renewal of contracts of its distribution network and the renovation of service stations. Ipiranga invested R$758 million in property, plant, equipment and intangible assets, partially offset by R$12 million related to repayments of financing to clients, net of loans granted. Oxiteno invested R$139 million in 2013 mainly in ongoing expansion and retrofit projects at our plants located in Pasadena, United States, and in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico, and in the maintenance of its equipment. Ultracargo invested R$37 million in 2013, mainly directed towards modernization and maintenance of terminals.

Ultrapar’s organic investment plan for 2014 amounts to R$1,484 million, which indicates our belief of continuing opportunities to grow through increased scale and productivity gains, as well as modernization of existing operations. Ultrapar expects to invest R$184 million at Ultragaz, R$886 million at Ipiranga, R$244 million at Oxiteno, R$60 million at Ultracargo and R$67 million at Extrafarma. At Ultragaz, investments will be focused mainly (i) on the construction of a filling plant in São Luis, in the state of Maranhão, (ii) on UltraSystem (small bulk), due to the perspective of capturing new clients and (iii) on the replacement and purchase of new LPG bottles. At Ipiranga, we plan to invest (i) R$366 million to maintain the pace of expansion of its distribution network (through the conversion of unbranded service stations and the opening of new gas stations) and of am/pm and Jet Oil franchises, focused on the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil, (ii) R$121 million in the expansion of its logistics infrastructure to support the growing demand, mainly through the construction of new logistics facilities, and (iii) R$400 million in the maintenance of its activities, mainly in the renewal of contracts of its distribution network and the renovation of service stations, and in the modernization of its operations. Out of Ipiranga’s total investment budget, R$885 million refer to additions to property, plant, equipment and intangible assets, and R$2 million refer to financing to clients, net of repayments. Oxiteno plans to invest R$161 million in expansion projects, mainly in the potential expansion of its production capacity in Pasadena, in the United States, and in the conclusion of the capacity expansion in Coatzacoalcos, in Mexico. The expansion in Mexico is expected to be operational by 2014 and will add 30,000 tons per year of production capacity. Additionally, Oxiteno intends to invest R$83 million in enhancing the productivity and in the maintenance of its plants and IT systems. Ultracargo is expected to invest mainly in the modernization, adjustment and maintenance of the infrastructure of its terminals and in the potential expansion of the Itaqui terminal, which shall start operating in 2015. At Extrafarma, investments will be directed to the opening of new drugstores, to the expansion of its logistics operations and to the maintenance of its existing stores.

Our Strengths

Leading market positions across businesses

Ultragaz is the largest LPG distributor in Brazil. In 2013, Ultragaz’s national market share was 23%, serving approximately 11 million homes in the bottled segment and approximately 46 thousand customers in the bulk segment. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Ultragaz’s total volume of LPG sold was 1.7 million tons.

Ipiranga is the second largest fuel distributor in Brazil with a 22% market share in 2013, and a network of 6,725 service stations as of December 31, 2013. In addition to the service stations, Ipiranga’s network has approximately 2.8 thousand am/pm convenience stores and Jet Oil franchises. In 2013, Ipiranga focused on its strategy of expansion to the North, Northeast and Midwest regions of Brazil, where the consumption growth rate has been above the national average and the market share of Ipiranga is lower than that in the South and Southeast. The implementation of Ipiranga’s business model in its service station network allows it to offer a broad range of products and services, which benefits consumers and resellers. The volume sold by Ipiranga in 2013 was 24.8 million cubic meters.

Oxiteno is the largest producer of ethylene oxide and its principal derivatives in Latin America as well as a major producer of specialty chemicals. Our chemical operations supply a broad range of market segments, particularly crop protection chemicals, food, cosmetics, leather, detergents, packaging for beverages, thread and polyester filaments, brake fluids, petroleum and coatings. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Oxiteno sold 776 thousand tons of chemical products. In Brazil, Oxiteno competes principally against imports.

Ultracargo is the largest provider of storage for liquid bulk in Brazil, with seven terminals and storage capacity of 787 thousand cubic meters as of December 31, 2013, with leading positions in the main ports in Brazil.

Extrafarma is one of the leading drugstore chains in the region where it operates, in the North and Northeast of Brazil, with 195 drugstores as of December 31, 2013.

Robust business portfolio

Our operations encompass LPG and fuel distribution, operation of a drugstore chain, the production of ethylene oxide and its derivatives and liquid bulk storage services. We believe our businesses provide us with increased financial capability and flexibility. Our business mix makes us less vulnerable to economic fluctuations and allows us to pursue growth opportunities as they arise in any of our business segments.

38

Ultrapar’s businesses are simultaneously resilient and leveraged on the Brazilian economic growth. Certain of Ultrapar’s businesses, such as LPG for residential use and fuels for light vehicles, are of a resilient nature and, therefore, are less volatile to economic downturns. Other Ultrapar’s businesses such as sales of diesel, specialty chemicals and bulk LPG are linked to economic performance and tend to boost volumes during periods of strong economic growth.

Bottled LPG is an essential good, as it is mainly used for cooking, and, therefore, it has a lower correlation with economic performance. Volume of fuels for light vehicles tends to grow linked to the number of light vehicles in Brazil. The Brazilian light vehicle fleet grew at approximately 7% to 8% per year during the last five years, despite the volatility in the economic growth during this period, leading to a similar level of growth in the volume of fuels for light vehicles. On the other hand, diesel, specialty chemicals and bulk LPG sales growth have been historically correlated to the performance of the Brazilian economy.

Highly efficient LPG distribution network

In addition to making direct sales of bottled LPG, Ultragaz is the only LPG distributor in Brazil with an exclusive network of independent dealers. This network is constituted of approximately 4.8 thousand dealers who sell Ultragaz LPG bottles. This has enabled Ultragaz to control the quality and productivity of its dealers leading to a strong brand name recognition that we believe is associated with quality, safety and efficiency, and also to have frequent contact with LPG customers. In addition, Ultragaz was the first player to introduce LPG small bulk delivery in Brazil, with lower distribution costs than bottled distribution. Over the years, it has built a strong client base.

Efficiencies in retail network logistics in addition to resale management know-how

We believe that the expertise in logistics and resale management that we have gained at Ultragaz is complemented by Ipiranga’s know-how in the same areas, thus maximizing efficiency and profitability at both companies.

Differentiated positioning in the fuel distribution sector

We believe that Ipiranga has a differentiated positioning in its sector, supported by a strong brand and ample coverage of products and services at its service stations to increase the convenience of the customer. These services and products include convenience stores, lubricant-changing service shops, electronic payment, Ipiranga-branded credit cards, and a set of initiatives that aim at enhancing customer’s convenience and loyalty.

Flexibility across the petrochemical cycle

Oxiteno is the largest producer of ethylene oxide and its principal derivatives in Latin America. In 2013, 98% of its ethylene oxide production was used internally in the production of ethylene oxide derivatives, which can be classified in two groups: specialty and commodity chemicals. Oxiteno is a major producer of specialty chemicals, which have traditionally higher margins and less exposure to petrochemical cycles than commodity chemicals. Oxiteno has also been heavily investing in the development of products derived from renewable raw materials, such as those produced at its oleochemicals unit, aiming at reducing its dependence on oil-based feedstock and expanding its product portfolio.

Cost-efficient operations

Oxiteno’s operations have a high degree of production efficiency derived from a scale that we believe is similar to that of the largest producers in the world. Ultragaz has significant market presence in densely populated areas, which allows it to operate its filling plants and distribution system with a high level of capacity utilization and efficiency. Ipiranga also has a significant market presence in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, which allows it to operate its extensive network of primary and secondary storage terminals and its distribution system in a cost-efficient manner. After the consolidation of Texaco and DNP and the network expansion through the opening of new gas stations and the conversion of unbranded service stations, the increased scale of Ipiranga allowed improved efficiency and competitiveness in the distribution and sales processes, dilution of advertising, marketing and new product development expenses, and gains from economies of scale in administrative functions. Extrafarma also has a significant market presence in the regions it operates (North and Northeast of Brazil), allowing it to distribute more efficiently its products to its drugstores.

39

Strong operational track record

Our company has exhibited a solid operational track record. Our EBITDA presented an average compound annual growth of 21% from 1998 to 2013, in spite of the overall macroeconomic volatility in Brazil and in the world during this same period. See “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Data” for more information about EBITDA. Our net income attributable to shareholders of the company presented average compound annual growth of 25% from 1998 to 2013.

Experienced management team

We are led by a strong and experienced management team with a proven track record in the LPG and fuel distribution, petrochemical and specialized logistics industries. Our senior management team (excluding the member who joined our company as a result of the Extrafarma Transaction) possesses on average almost 20 years of experience in the company.

Alignment of interests

The members of Ultrapar’s management are relevant shareholders of Ultrapar and have variable compensation linked to performance and value generation to shareholders measured by Economic Value Added (EVA^®) growth targets. Moreover, Ultrapar has consistently implemented improvements in corporate governance, such as being the first Brazilian company to grant 100% tag along right to all its shareholders, the separation of the roles of Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors and the constant and transparent interaction with the capital market. Ultrapar is also a founding member of the Latin American Corporate Governance Roundtable Companies Circle, a group dedicated to promoting corporate governance in Latin America.

In 2011, Ultrapar completed the implementation of its new corporate governance structure, further aligning our shareholders’ interests by converting all preferred shares into common voting shares. The Conversion resulted in all of our shares having identical voting rights, which allows our shareholders to actively participate in the decisions of the shareholders’ meeting, without (i) any limitation on voting rights, (ii) special treatment to current shareholders, (iii) required public tender offers for prices greater than the acquisition price of a controlling interest or (iv) any other poison pill provisions.

Our Strategy

Build on the strength of our LPG and fuel distribution brands

Our LPG and fuel distribution businesses have a high brand recognition associated with quality, safety and efficiency. We intend to reinforce this market perception by continuing to supply high-quality products and services and to introduce new services and distribution channels.

Maintain a strong relationship with our resellers in the LPG and fuel distribution business

We intend to preserve our strong relationship with dealers by keeping their distribution exclusivity and continuing to implement our differentiated incentive programs in Ultragaz and Ipiranga. We plan to continue to invest in training our dealers, in order to maximize efficiency, to further strengthen our relationship and to promote the high standards of our distribution network. In parallel, we plan to continue to increase our operational efficiency and productivity at Ultragaz and Ipiranga.

Continuously improve cost and capital efficiency in LPG and fuel distribution

We plan to continue to invest in the cost and capital efficiency of our distribution systems. Current initiatives include enhanced discipline with respect to our capital allocations and programs to revise Ultragaz’s distribution structure.

40

Increase market share in fuel distribution

We intend to benefit from a generally favorable outlook in the fuel distribution market as a result of an increasing light vehicle fleet in Brazil. Our sales strategy is to increase Ipiranga’s market share by converting unbranded stations to Ipiranga’s brand and by opening new service stations, focusing on the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil, where we have lower market share and where consumption growth is higher than the national average, given the lower car penetration and faster-growing household income in these regions. Ipiranga’s strategy also includes expanding its logistics infrastructure to support the growing demand for fuels in Brazil and initiatives aiming at differentiating our products and services.

Promote and benefit from the formalization of the fuel distribution market

We plan to continue to collaborate with the competent authorities to promote improvements to legislation and to enhance regulatory enforcements in the fuel distribution sector as means of creating a level playing field in the market, increasing sales volume in the formal market and improving our gross margin, thus reducing the competitiveness of players which benefited from cost advantages derived from unfair practices.

Enhance retail network

Ipiranga’s strategy is strongly focused on differentiation and innovation. This focus has translated to the creation of new market niches through its reseller network characterized by customer service and convenience, thus contributing to high levels of customer loyalty. We believe these initiatives result in a better value proposition for customers and resellers, creating benefits for the whole chain – the client has access to differentiated, more convenient products; the reseller has a more attractive business; and the service station has differentiated positioning, contributing to the evolution of the company’s results.

Ipiranga’s Posto Ecoeficiente project (Eco-Efficient service station) is one of the initiatives that reflect this strategy. This project offers solutions in the construction and operation of service stations intended to improve the use of resources such as water and electricity and to reduce waste and residues, therefore improving the profitability of these stations and benefiting our resellers. The Postos Ecoeficientes project comprised 488 units throughout the Brazilian territory as of December 31, 2013 in addition to 200 units under construction.

In 2010, also as part of its differentiation strategy, Ipiranga opened bakeries within its am/pm stores and became Brazil’s largest bakery franchise chain. Over the year, it developed a new image, further strengthening the perception of being a convenience center always close to its consumer. Over the following years, Ipiranga expanded its bakery chain, which was enabled by the successful acceptance by customers. In addition, Ipiranga increased its strategic partnerships to broaden the scope of the Km de Vantagens loyalty program and, accordingly, the benefits for its clients and resellers, including partners in the areas of entertainment, tourism and magazines, among others.

In 2011, Ipiranga was the first distributor to launch online sales of fuel. This initiative allows clients to purchase credits of fuel through its website. With these credits, clients are able to purchase fuel at any of the Ipiranga’s accredited service stations. Participants of the Km de Vantagens program who purchase credits online can get a discount on the credit price, which represents another benefit for client loyalty. In 2013, Km de Vantagens, the largest loyalty program in Brazil, reached over 15 million clients.

In November 2012, Ipiranga and Odebrecht TransPort Participações formed a joint venture to operate in the segment of electronic payment for tolls, parking and fuels – ConectCar. Once installed on a vehicle’s windshield, ConectCar’s tag automatically opens toll gates at lower costs through a prepaid system with free enrollment. In addition, the tag may be used to purchase fuel as well as accumulate and redeem points of the Km de Vantagens program, points which will be acquired by ConectCar from Ipiranga. The client can buy the tag at Ipiranga’s service stations, using the points of the loyalty program Km de Vantagens. At the end of 2013, ConectCar was operating in 73 highways, 147 toll plazas, 36 shopping malls and parking lots in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and Pernambuco.

In 2013, Ipiranga developed “Ipiranga Frotas”, a fleet management service offered to qualified corporate clients to improve their fuel consumption. The system allows clients to better monitor and manage their fleet of vehicles remotely over the internet and is provided by Ipiranga free of charge. Participating clients are granted discounts in the purchase of fuel within the Ipiranga network and other benefits, which we believe will ultimately enhance Ipiranga brand loyalty and improve fuel sales.

In addition, in 2013 Ipiranga expanded its online service station, Posto Ipiranga na Web (Ipiranga service station on the web), launched in 2011, pursuant to which end customers are able to acquire credits of fuel over the internet and use them at accredited service stations. Also in 2013, the convenience stores am/pm increased its private label lines.

Enter the significant and growing retail pharmacy sector to expand our growth opportunities

On January 31, 2014, we concluded the Extrafarma Transaction, which marked our entry into Brazil’s significant, growing retail pharmacy sector. We intend to benefit from the favorable outlook of the retail pharmacy sector in Brazil, mainly due to (i) the aging population; (ii) higher levels of disposable income among consumers; (iii) greater access to medicines, especially due to the growing prominence of generic drugs; and (iv) growing demand for personal care and beauty products. In addition, consolidation of the sector, supported by increasing formalization and consequent investments, is still in the incipient stages, and we intend to participate in this process.

We intend to accelerate Extrafarma’s expansion plan through (i) increasing its investment capacity, (ii) expanding its distribution network through the potential opening of drugstores at Ipiranga’s service stations and Ultragaz’s resellers, which together have over 10 thousand retail outlets; and (iii) strengthening its management structure through the implementation of Ultrapar’s recognized corporate governance practices and incentives-based model aimed at the alignment of interests. Through the integration of sites and product, service and convenience offering we intend to develop business models that are continuously more attractive to Extrafarma’s, Ipiranga’s and Ultragaz’s consumers, thus increasing differentiation potential in each of these businesses.

Invest in niche segments for LPG distribution

Ultragaz is strengthening its presence in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil by focusing on expanding to states, such as Pará and Maranhão, where it did not use to have significant operations and where LPG consumption is growing faster than Brazil’s national average rate.

For the bulk segment, Ultragaz strategy is focused on two areas. The first one is offering its clients in industrial and agribusiness segments new applications for LPG. As a result, Ultragaz aims at expanding its participation in the use of LPG for localized heating, such as pre-heating of industrial furnaces, especially in steel and metallurgical plants, and in new applications in agribusiness, such as drying grains and plague control, with greater operational and economic efficiency.

The second one is to invest in the expansion of the bulk LPG distribution to small- and medium-sized businesses, such as laundry shops, restaurants, bakeries, residential condominiums, on the basis of agile and convenience services.

Expand capacity at Oxiteno

We intend to maintain Oxiteno’s production capacity ahead of demand in Brazil. We also plan to continue our efforts to apply the best global practices to Oxiteno’s plants and production processes with a view to remain technologically competitive.

Continue to enhance product mix at Oxiteno

We increased Oxiteno’s capacity to produce a variety of value-added ethylene oxide derivatives and other specialty chemicals in order to optimize its sales mix across petrochemical cycles. Oxiteno’s investments in research and development have resulted in the introduction of 56 new products during the last three years. Oxiteno will continue to invest in research and development focused on developing new products to meet clients’ needs. In addition, we intend to continue to focus Oxiteno’s sales in the Brazilian market, which allows us to have higher margins.

Maintain financial strength

We seek to maintain a sound financial position to allow us to pursue investment opportunities and enhance our shareholders’ return on their investment in our company. Our net debt (consisting of loans, debentures and financial leases recorded as current and non-current liabilities, net of cash and cash equivalents and financial investments) as of December 31, 2013 was R$3,426 million, representing a 1.2 times net debt (consisting of loans, debentures and financial leases recorded as current and non-current liabilities, net of cash and cash equivalents and financial investments) to EBITDA ratio. We have been consistently distributing dividends to our shareholders. During the five years ended December 31, 2013, we have declared yearly dividends representing an average of 61% of our net income.

Continue to grow our businesses

Our principal corporate goals are to enhance shareholder value and to strengthen our market presence by growing our businesses. Historically, we have grown our businesses organically and through acquisitions, such as the acquisitions of Shell Gás, Ipiranga, União Terminais, Texaco, DNP, Repsol, Temmar and American Chemical, and we intend to continue this strategy.

We have also made several investments in the expansion of our existing operations. In Oxiteno, in the last five years ended December 31, 2013, we invested in the expansion of our production capacity focusing on specialty chemicals and in starting production of specialty chemicals in the United States. In Ipiranga, organic investments were mainly directed to the expansion of our resellers’ network and logistics infrastructure. In Ultracargo, investments were made to increase the capacity of our terminals in Suape, Santos and Aratu. We constantly analyze acquisition opportunities in the segments in which we operate and in complementary segments that could add value to our company.

Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas

Industry and Regulatory Overview

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a fuel derived from the oil and natural gas refining process. In Brazil, 75% of local demand in 2013 was produced in local refineries and the remaining 25% was imported. LPG has the following primary uses in Brazil:

• Bottled LPG — used primarily by residential consumers for cooking; and

• Bulk LPG — used primarily for cooking and water heating in shopping malls, hotels, residential buildings, restaurants, laundries, hospitals and industries, with several other specific applications to each industrial process.

The following chart shows the process of LPG distribution:

Historically, bottled LPG has represented a substantial portion of the LPG distributed in Brazil, and is primarily used for cooking. The use of LPG for domestic heating in Brazil is immaterial compared with its use in other developed and emerging countries, primarily because of Brazil’s generally warm climate. Consequently, demand seasonality throughout the year is relatively small. In addition, because LPG is not used to a significant extent for domestic heating in Brazil, overall consumption of LPG per capita is lower in Brazil compared to countries where domestic heating is a major element of LPG demand, making low distribution costs a major competitive differential in the Brazilian LPG market.

44

Prior to 1990, extensive governmental regulation of the LPG industry essentially limited the use of LPG to domestic cooking. Since 1990, regulations have permitted the use of LPG for certain commercial and industrial uses, and the use of LPG has increased accordingly.

The primary international suppliers of LPG are major oil companies and independent producers of both liquefied natural gas and oil. However, due to Petrobras’ monopoly over the production and import of petroleum and petroleum products until the end of 2001, Petrobras is currently the de facto sole supplier of LPG in Brazil.

Currently, the LPG distribution industry in Brazil consists of 15 LPG distribution companies or groups of companies, and is regulated by the ANP. The LPG distribution industry includes purchasing nearly all its LPG requirements from Petrobras, filling LPG bottles and bulk delivery trucks at filling stations, selling LPG to dealers and end users, controlling product quality and providing technical assistance to LPG consumers. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Industry and Regulatory Overview — The role of the ANP.” LPG produced by Petrobras, which represented 75% of total LPG sold in Brazil in 2013, is transported in pipelines and by trucks from Petrobras’ production and storage facilities to filling stations maintained by LPG distributors. The balance is imported by Petrobras into Brazil and stored in large storage facilities mostly maintained by Petrobras. The imported LPG is then transported from the storage facilities by pipeline and truck to the LPG distributors’ filling stations.

LPG can be delivered to end users either in bottles or in bulk. The bottles are filled in the LPG distributors’ filling stations. Distribution of bottled LPG is conducted through the use of bottles via two principal channels:

• home delivery of LPG bottles; and

• the sale of LPG bottles in retail stores and at filling stations.

In both cases, the bottles are either delivered by the LPG distributors themselves or by independent dealers.

Bulk delivery is the principal delivery method to large volume consumers, such as residential buildings, hospitals, small- and medium-sized businesses and industries. In the case of bulk delivery, LPG is pumped directly into tanker trucks at filling stations, transported to customers and pumped into a bulk storage tank located at the customer’s premises.

The role of the Brazilian government. The Brazilian government historically regulated the sale and distribution of LPG in Brazil. The period from 1960 to 1990 was characterized by heavy governmental regulation, including price controls, regulation of the geographical areas in which each LPG distributor could operate, regulation of the services offered by distributors and governmental quotas for the LPG sold by distributors, thus restricting the growth of larger LPG distributors. In 1990, the Brazilian government started a deregulation process of the LPG market. This process included easing the requirements for the entry into the market of new distribution companies, reducing certain administrative burdens and removing restrictions on the areas in which distributors could conduct their business and on sales quotas. There are currently no restrictions on foreign ownership of LPG companies in Brazil.

Since 2001, distributors have been allowed to freely establish retail prices, which were previously set by the Brazilian government. Until the end of 2001, the LPG refinery price charged by Petrobras to all LPG distributors was determined by the Brazilian government and was the same for all LPG distributors in all regions of Brazil. Historically, refinery prices have been subsidized by the Brazilian government. In 2002, the Brazilian government abolished subsidies to refinery prices and in January 2002, Petrobras started to freely price LPG in the domestic market, adopting the international price plus surcharges as its benchmark. However, the Petrobras refinery price of LPG is still subject to the Brazilian government influence when the government deems appropriate. Refinery prices of LPG in Reais remained unchanged from May 2003 to December 2007. In 2008, Petrobras increased the LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 15% in January, an additional 10% in April and 6% in July. In February 2009, Petrobras reduced the LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 5%. In January 2010, Petrobras increased the LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 6%. In 2013 and 2012, Petrobras’ average refinery price was US$457 and US$508 per ton, respectively, compared with the average international price of US$575 per ton per ton and US$630 per ton, respectively. LPG refinery prices for residential use have remained unchanged since 2003.

The role of Petrobras. Petrobras, Brazil’s national oil and oil products company, had a legal monopoly in the exploration, production, refining, importing and transporting of crude oil and oil products in Brazil and Brazil’s continental waters since its establishment in 1953. This monopoly was confirmed in Brazil’s federal constitution enacted in 1988. As a result, Petrobras was historically the sole supplier in Brazil of oil and oil-related products, including LPG.

45

In November 1995, Petrobras’ monopoly was removed from the federal constitution by a constitutional amendment approved by the Brazilian Congress. According to this amendment, other state and private companies would be able to compete with Petrobras in virtually all fields in which Petrobras operated. This amendment was implemented through Law No. 9,478, dated August 6, 1997, which effectively allowed Petrobras’ monopoly to continue for a maximum period of three years. Law No. 9,478, also known as Lei do Petróleo, prescribed that the termination of Petrobras’ monopoly would be accompanied by the deregulation of prices for oil, gas and oil products, and created a new regulatory agency, the ANP, to oversee oil-related activities. However, in practice, Petrobras still remains the sole LPG supplier in Brazil, even though there are no legal restrictions to the operation of other suppliers or to imports.

On June 25, 2004, Petrobras entered the LPG distribution market in Brazil through the acquisition of Liquigás, one of the main players in the market.

With the discovery of the pre-salt reservoirs, the Brazilian government adopted a series of measures in the regulatory environment, establishing a new legal framework for the oil industry, which may result in a series of regulations, such as production-sharing and concession contracts, among others. This discovery may bring a new scenario for the sector, creating major investments and adaptations in infrastructure such as new refineries, highways, pipelines, platforms, ports and ships, among others.

The role of the ANP. The ANP is responsible for the control, supervision and implementation of the government’s oil, gas and biofuels policies. The ANP regulates all aspects of the production, distribution and sale of oil and oil products in Brazil, including product quality standards and minimum storage capacities required to be maintained by distributors.

In order to operate in Brazil, an LPG distributor must be licensed with the ANP and must comply with certain minimum operating requirements, including:

• maintenance of sufficient LPG storage capacity;

• maintenance of an adequate quantity of LPG bottles;

• use of bottles stamped with the distributor’s own brand name;

• possession of its own filling plant;

• appropriate maintenance of LPG filling units;

• distribution of LPG exclusively in areas where it can provide technical assistance to the consumer either directly or indirectly through an authorized dealer; and

• full compliance with the Unified Suppliers Registration System — Sistema Único de Cadastramento Unificado de Fornecedores — SICAF.

LPG distributors are required to provide the ANP with monthly reports showing their sales in the previous month and the volume of LPG ordered from Petrobras for the next four months. The ANP limits the volume of LPG that may be ordered by each distributor based on the number of bottles and infrastructure owned by the distributor. Based on the information provided by the distributors, Petrobras supplies the volume of LPG ordered, provided its production and imports of LPG are sufficient to meet the demand.

LPG distribution to the end consumer may be carried out directly by the LPG distribution companies or by independent dealers. Each LPG distributor must provide the ANP with information regarding its contracted independent dealers on a monthly basis. The construction of LPG filling plants and storage facilities is subject to the prior approval of the ANP, and filling plants and storage facilities may only begin operations after ANP inspection.

The self-regulatory code. In August 1996, most of the Brazilian LPG distributors, representing more than 90% of the market, bottle manufacturers, LPG transportation companies and certain LPG retail stores, under the supervision of the Brazilian government, entered into a statement of intent regarding the establishment of a program for “requalifying” LPG bottles (a process under which they undergo safety and quality checks) and other safety procedures, known as the “Self-Regulatory Code” or “Código de Auto-Regulamentação.” See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Ultragaz — Bottle swapping centers” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Ultragaz — Requalification of bottles.” Before the Self-Regulatory Code came into effect, certain LPG distributors, not including Ultragaz, would fill bottles stamped with another distributor’s brand. This practice resulted in a low level of investment in new bottles, giving rise to concerns regarding the safety of older bottles. The Self-Regulatory Code provides, among other things, that:

• each LPG distributor may only fill and sell bottles that are stamped with its own trademark;

• each LPG distributor is responsible for the quality and safety control of its bottles; and

• each LPG distributor must maintain a sufficient number of bottles to service its sales volume.

46

Under the Ministry of Mines and Energy Normative Ruling No. 334 of November 1, 1996, or Ruling 334, any party that defaults on its obligations under the Self-Regulatory Code will be subject to the legal penalties, ranging from payment of a fine and suspension of supply of LPG to such party to suspension of such party’s LPG distribution operations.

Ruling 334 set forth the following timetable for the implementation of the measures adopted under the Self-Regulatory Code:

• the construction of at least 15 bottle swapping centers, starting in November 1996 (see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Ultragaz — Bottle swapping centers” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Ultragaz — Requalification of bottles”);

• the filling of third-party bottles to have ceased by October 1997;

• by November 1, 2006, the requalification of 68.8 million bottles manufactured up to 1991; and

• by November 1, 2011, the requalification of 12.8 million bottles manufactured between 1992 and 1996.

Ultragaz itself was required to requalify 13.8 million bottles before November 2006 and an additional 10.7 million bottles by November 2011. In 2012, Ultragaz requalified 2.3 million bottles and, in 2013, 3.0 million bottles. In 2014, Ultragaz expects to requalify approximately 3.1 million bottles.

Environmental, health and safety standards. LPG distributors are regulated by ANP and subject to Brazilian federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, public health and safety. The National Council of the Environment, or Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente — CONAMA, the Ministry of Labor, or Ministério do Trabalho, and the Ministry of Transport, or Ministério dos Transportes, are the primary regulators of LPG distribution at the federal level.

ANP and Brazilian federal and state environmental laws and regulations require LPG distributors to obtain operating permits from the state environmental agencies, from municipal authorities and from the fire department. In order to obtain such permits, distributors must satisfy regulatory authorities that the operation, maintenance and repair of facilities are in compliance with regulations and are not prejudicial to the environment and the community. In addition, regulations establish standard procedures for transporting, delivering and storing LPG and for testing and requalification of LPG bottles. Civil, administrative and criminal sanctions, including fines and the revocation of licenses, may apply to violations of regulations. Under applicable law, distributors are strictly liable for environmental damages.

The LPG industry and market are also subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations that prescribe occupational health and safety standards. In accordance with such laws and regulations, it is mandatory for distributors to prepare reports on their occupational health and safety records on an annual basis to the local office of the Ministry of Labor in each of the states in which they operate. In addition, they are also subject to all federal, state and local governmental regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies doing business in Brazil, including labor laws, social security laws and consumer protection laws.

Ultragaz

We distribute LPG through Ultragaz. Founded in 1937, we were the first LPG distributor in Brazil. At that time, Brazilians used wood stoves and, to a lesser extent, alcohol, kerosene and coal stoves. Ultragaz was the leading company by sales volume in the Brazilian LPG market as of December 31, 2013.

Ultragaz operates nationwide in the distribution of both bottled and bulk LPG, including the most highly populated states in Brazil, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, and sells bottled LPG through its own retail stores and through independent dealers as well as its fleet of owned and leased trucks which operates on a door-to-door basis or on a scheduled/request delivery basis. Bulk LPG is serviced through Ultragaz’s own and leased truck fleet.

In August 2003, Ultragaz acquired Shell Gás, Royal Dutch Shell plc’s LPG operations in Brazil, for a total price of R$171 million. Shell Gás had about a 4.5% market share in Brazilian LPG distribution, selling 287.4 thousand tons of LPG in 2002. With this acquisition, Ultragaz became the national market leader in LPG, with a 24% share of the Brazilian market in 2003. In October 2011, Ultragaz acquired Repsol’s LPG distribution business in Brazil for a total value of R$50 million, which includes R$2 million related to the net cash of the acquired company. In 2011, Repsol sold approximately 22 thousand tons of LPG. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company”.

47

Ultragaz is comprised of the following operating subsidiaries:

• Companhia Ultragaz S.A., or Cia Ultragaz, the company that pioneered our LPG operations;

• Bahiana Distribuidora de Gas Ltda., or Bahiana, which primarily operates in the Northeast region of Brazil; and

• Utingás Armazenadora S.A., or Utingás, a storage services provider that operates two facilities in São Paulo and Paraná. Utingás was incorporated in 1967 when Ultragaz and other LPG distributors joined to construct LPG storage facilities based in the states of São Paulo and Paraná. Ultragaz currently controls 57% of Utingás. See “— Storage of LPG.”

Markets and marketing. When Ultragaz began its operations, it served only the Southeast region of Brazil. Currently, Ultragaz is present in almost all of Brazil’s significant population centers. In the last five years, Ultragaz strengthened its presence in the North and Northeast of Brazil, selling LPG in the states of Pará and Maranhão, where it did not have significant operations and where LPG consumption has been growing faster than Brazil’s national average growth rate. Distribution of bottled LPG includes direct home delivery and retail stores, both carried out by Ultragaz or its dealership network mainly using 13 kg ANP approved bottles. In the case of Ultragaz, the bottles are painted blue, which we believe is an important element in recognizing the “Ultragaz” brand. Ultragaz’s operating margins for bottled LPG vary from region to region and reflect market share and the distribution channel in the region.

Before Shell Gás’ acquisition, Ultragaz’s sales strategy for bottled LPG delivery was to increase market share through geographical expansion as well as protecting and incrementing market participation in regions where it already operated. With the acquisition of Shell Gás, Ultragaz became the Brazilian market leader in LPG, and the focus of its marketing strategy evolved to investing in the brand, protecting market share and strengthening its position in certain regions and niche markets where it does not have a significant presence. The LPG bottled market in Brazil is a mature one and Ultragaz believes that growth in demand will be a function of an increasing number of households consuming the product as well as an increasing level of household income.

Distribution of bulk LPG is largely carried out through 190 kg storage tanks installed on its clients’ premises. Since 1997, Ultragaz operates small- and medium-sized bulk delivery facilities with bob-tail trucks, known together as UltraSystem, which deliver LPG in bulk to residential buildings, commercial and industrial clients. Ultragaz’s clients in the commercial sector include shopping centers, hotels, residential buildings, restaurants, laundries and hospitals. Ultragaz’s trucks supply clients’ stationary tanks using a system that is quick, safe and cost effective.

Ultragaz’s bulk sales include large industrial clients, including companies in the food, metallurgical and steel sectors that have large fixed tanks at their plants and consume monthly volumes in excess of five tons of LPG. These clients represent a small portion of Ultragaz’s sales volume since, in the case of large volume consumers, Ultragaz is competing with other highly competitive energy sources such as natural gas, diesel and fuel oil.

Ultragaz supplies its bulk delivery clients on the basis of supply contracts with terms ranging from two to five years. This type of contract limits fluctuations in sales given that the installation of the tanks is carried out by Ultragaz, and any change in supplier would imply the client’s reimbursing Ultragaz’s investments. The contract also requires that any tank supplied by Ultragaz may only be filled with LPG delivered by the company. When the bulk delivery contract expires, it can be renegotiated or the tank is removed. Since the installation of the tank represents a significant investment for Ultragaz, it seeks to achieve a return on its investment within the term of the contract. The acquisition of Repsol strengthened its bulk LPG business, with economies of scale in logistics and management, as well as improved positioning for growth in the bulk segment.

Ultragaz’s strategy for bulk LPG distribution is to continue its process of product and service innovation and to increase the profile of its trademark. Ultragaz also has a team to identify the needs of each bulk LPG client and to develop technical solutions for using LPG as an energy source.

The table below shows Ultragaz’s sales of LPG to clients of bottled and bulk LPG:

	Year ended December 31,
Client category	2013		2012		2011

Residential delivery has evolved during the last few years from primarily door-to-door to a primarily scheduled or phone-ordered delivery.

The LPG distribution is a very dynamic retail market where consumers’ habits change constantly, thus creating differentiation opportunities for the company. In order to follow market developments and differentiate itself from competitors, Ultragaz has developed and enhanced sales channels and payment methods. In the last decade, the company expanded the participation of Disk Gás (sale of LPG bottles by telephone), created the prepaid voucher system (Vale Ultragaz Eletrônico, which can be acquired at certain establishments such as supermarkets) and is also developing new ordering systems, such as the ability to order online and by mobile phone. These initiatives provide customers with greater convenience, add further value and generate logistic optimization to Ultragaz. The same principles are extended to the bulk segment, in which Ultragaz is a pioneer and has a leading position, and where it has been developing new usages for its products, such as localized heating for the ignition of industrial furnaces, mainly in iron and steel industries, and new applications in agribusiness, such as drying grains and plague control, with greater operational and economic efficiency. Also aiming at meeting the consumption needs in the bulk segment, Ultragaz intensified its unique account billing service in residential condominiums, through which it provides individual gas bills.

With the support of Ultrapar and Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social - BNDES, Ultragaz develops social and environmental projects in the surroundings of the communities where we operate. One example is the “Educational Campaign” developed in partnership with the Brazilian government and the Ministry of Health, designed to provide preventive information for the population through the qualification of LPG resellers. This initiative has directly impacted nearly 25 million people in 2013. Ultragaz also develops the project “Escola Nota Dez” (Grade A School), supported by the Ipojuca City Education Department, in the state of Pernambuco, where Ultragaz sponsors the creation and implementation of a Child Education Policy for the city, including the training and qualification for pedagogical coordinators. Concurrently to this work, Ultragaz is refurbishing four rural schools in the region.

Ultragaz signed the UN Global Compact in 2009, and has developed a structured program for advancing causes related to environmental sustainability, through a series of initiatives with internal and external audiences. Ultragaz’s program, “Ultragaz Faz Sustentável. E quer fazer sempre mais” (Ultragaz acts sustainably and always wants to do more), aims at identifying, creating and educating the community on the sustainable initiatives it promotes.

Since 2009, Ultragaz has sponsored the implementation of educational programs of the “Junior Achievement” organization in Brazil. Junior Achievement is the world’s largest and oldest organization dedicated to educating students on employment opportunities, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through experiential learning and hands-on programs. In 2013, over 270 thousand teenagers of Brazilian public schools benefited from Ultragaz’s sponsorship.

Distribution infrastructure. Ultragaz’s distribution strategy includes having its own distribution infrastructure, since it believes proximity to customers is a significant factor in successful distribution and sales strategies. The services associated with Ultragaz’s home deliveries strongly influence the ranking of the “Ultragaz” brand name in the bottled market. Ultragaz seeks to expand its home delivery services, including faster delivery, quality and comfort for its customers, having delivery personnel that provide safety recommendations to household customers. For both bottled and bulk LPG, deliveries are made by employees wearing Ultragaz uniforms and driving vehicles with Ultragaz’s logo.

Ultragaz delivers bottled LPG using a distribution network, which as of December 31, 2013 included 57 company-owned points of sales, and approximately 4.8 thousand independent dealers. As of December 31, 2013, Ultragaz had a fleet of 171 vehicles for the delivery of gas bottles and 267 for bulk delivery. Ultragaz also maintains a call center which centralizes LPG bottle orders made through phone calls.

Bottled sales capacity derives from the number of bottles bearing Ultragaz’s brands. Ultragaz estimates that, as of December 31, 2013, there were 22.5 million 13kg bottles stamped with Ultragaz’s brands in the market.

Independent dealers. Ultragaz’s independent distribution network ranges from large dealers, which carry out extensive home delivery, to single retail stores, which sell small quantities of LPG bottles. Until the enactment of ANP Rule 297 on November 18, 2003, independent dealers needed only to be registered with ANP for the sale of LPG bottles. No licenses were required except for

49

those required by the fire department and the municipal authorities. Rule 297 established that the independent dealers must be registered with ANP and comply with a list of prerequisites contained in such rule, as well as those required by law for the storage of bottles up to 90 kg. Also, each municipality sets forth its own safety regulations applicable to stores that sell LPG, including a minimum distance from certain locations, such as schools. For the year ended December 31, 2013, 94% of Ultragaz’s bottled LPG sales were made through independent dealers. The agreements entered into between Ultragaz and independent dealers require the use of the Ultragaz brand and the display of the Ultragaz logo in the delivery vehicles and on the uniforms worn by delivery personnel. Proprietary rights in the trademark and logo are retained by Ultragaz and are duly registered with the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI — Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial). All contracted dealers are Ultragaz’s exclusive representatives. Under the terms of the respective contracts, each dealer agrees not to deliver non-Ultragaz LPG bottles.

Ultragaz understands that investing in the efficiency if its resellers network is key for staying ahead of competition and at the same time aligned with market demand for LPG. Accordingly, Ultragaz has developed several programs aimed at improving resellers management quality and standards.

The main tool is the “Programa de Qualificação de Revendas” (Reseller Qualification Program), which seeks to standardize Ultragaz’s resellers’ best management practices, including brand standardization, management quality, and strict compliance with the laws applicable to the industry. Through an assessment process, resellers are classified into categories (blue diamond, diamond, golden, bronze and opportunity), allowing the participants to check their performance compared to Ultragaz’s excellence standards and stimulating constant improvement. In 2013, approximately 4.5 thousand resellers participated in the program – a significant increase compared to 2008, when the program began with approximately 700 resellers evaluated. Out of the resellers that participated in the program in 2013, 74% (or 3.3 thousand) were qualified as bronze or above, above the 70% in 2012 and 65% in 2011, attesting their increased compliance with most of Ultragaz’s quality requirements.

Ultragaz also has invested in the development of training progams offered to its dealers. The first of them is Project SOMAR (Marketing Solutions Applied to Independent Dealers), a program that includes replication of best practices and recommendations of changes to dealers’ operating procedures aiming at improving the efficiency of their operations.

The main initiative carried out since 2009 is Academia de Revendedores (Resellers Academy), which includes the training programs Formação em Gestão de Revendas (Reseller Management Education) and O especialista em atendimento (The specialist in serving). These programs seek to provide its resellers and their employees with critical skills to ensure an effective management in the LPG retail market and strengthen the qualification of the resellers’ network.

Distribution channels to bulk consumers. Large bulk distribution, classified by Ultragaz as consumption of more than five tons per month and constituted mostly of industrial users, is made by tanker trucks that deliver the LPG directly to the storage tanks located at the customers’ premises. Small bulk distribution, classified by Ultragaz as consumption under five tons per month and comprised of residential buildings and commercial users, and smaller industrial users, is made primarily by bob-tail trucks. Ultragaz uses the UltraSystem trade name in connection with its small bulk distribution through bob-tail trucks. Ultragaz makes bulk sales directly to customers using its own fleet and transportation provided by third-party transportation companies.

Payment terms. Ultragaz’s sales through its retail stores and through home delivery are made mainly on a cash basis. Ultragaz’s sales to independent dealers and to industrial and commercial users have payment terms of 18 days on average.

Bottle swapping centers. Pursuant to the Self-Regulatory Code, established in 1996 and approved by ANP, the LPG distributors have established nine operating swapping centers to facilitate the return of the bottles to the appropriate distributor. Under the Self-Regulatory Code, while LPG distributors may pick up any empty LPG bottles tendered by customers in exchange for full LPG bottles, whether or not such empty bottles were put in circulation by that distributor, after October 1997, LPG distributors were not permitted to refill third-party bottles. Accordingly, LPG distributors may deliver third-party bottles to a swapping center where such bottles may be exchanged for bottles placed in circulation by such LPG distributor. The swapping centers currently charge a fee of R$0.40 per exchanged LPG bottle. In areas where only one LPG distributor has a sizable market share, it is customary to use the facilities of that distributor as an unofficial swapping center.

Requalification of bottles. The useful life of a bottle varies depending on a number of factors, the most important of which are the extent to which the bottle has been exposed to corrosion from the atmosphere and whether the bottle has been damaged. The Self-Regulatory Code provides that all bottles must be requalified after their first 15 years of use, and every ten years thereafter. Each bottle is visually inspected for damage and corrosion to determine if it can be requalified or if it should be scrapped. In the case of bottles which pass the quality and safety checks, several procedures are followed before the bottles are stamped with the year of requalification and the next term in which they are due for requalification.

Supply of LPG. Currently, Ultragaz and all other LPG distributors in Brazil purchase all or nearly all LPG from Petrobras. Ultragaz has a formal contract with Petrobras for the supply of LPG. The procedures for ordering and purchasing LPG from Petrobras

50

are generally common to all LPG distributors, including Ultragaz, which basically consist of sending an estimate of our needs to Petrobras four months in advance and a more precise estimate of our needs one month in advance. There have been no significant interruptions in the supply of LPG by Petrobras to the distributors since an interruption in 1995 due to a 15-day strike by Petrobras employees.

Petrobras freely prices LPG in the domestic market, adopting the international price plus surcharges as its benchmark. However, the Petrobras refinery price of LPG is subject to the Brazilian government influence when the government deems appropriate. Refinery prices of LPG in Reais remained unchanged from May 2003 to December 2007. In 2008, Petrobras increased the LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 15% in January, an additional 10% in April and 6% in July. In February 2009, Petrobras reduced the LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 5%. In January 2010, Petrobras increased the LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 6%. In 2013 and 2012, Petrobras’ average refinery price was US$457 per ton and US$508 per ton, respectively, compared with the average international price of US$575 per ton and US$630 per ton, respectively. LPG refinery prices for residential use have remained unchanged since 2003. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Industry and Regulatory Overview — The role of the Brazilian government.”

Storage of LPG. On December 31, 2013, Ultragaz’s storage capacity was approximately 19 thousand tons, including Utingás’ storage capacity. Based on its 2013 average LPG sales, Ultragaz could store approximately three days of LPG supply. Accordingly, an interruption in the production of LPG may result in shortages, such as the one that occurred during the Petrobras strike in 1995.

Ultragaz stores its LPG in large tanks at each of its filling plants located throughout the regions in which it operates. Primary filling plants receive LPG directly from Petrobras by pipeline; secondary filling plants are supplied by truck; and satellite plants primarily hold LPG which is used to fill bob-tail trucks for small bulk distribution to customers that are not located near a primary or secondary filling plant. See “Item 4.D. Information on the Company — Property, Plants and Equipment.”

Competition. Ultragaz’s main competitors are:

• Liquigás, which was acquired by Petrobras in June 2004 from the ENI Group and has been operating in the Brazilian LPG distribution sector for more than 40 years;

• Supergasbras, formed by the merger of Minasgás S.A., founded in 1955, and Supergasbras S.A., founded in 1946, and controlled by SHV Energy, a major multinational LPG distributor, which operates through its two separate brands, Minasgás and Supergasbras; and

• Nacional Gás Butano, a Brazilian LPG distributor which has been present in the market for more than 45 years.

The following table sets forth the market share of Ultragaz and its competitors in terms of volume:

	Year ended December 31,
LPG Distributor	2013			2012			2011
Ultragaz		23.1	%		23.5	%		23.2	%
Liquigás		22.6	%		22.6	%		22.8	%
Supergasbras		21.1	%		20.9	%		21.2	%
Nacional Gás Butano		18.8	%		19.0	%		18.9	%
Others		14.3	%		14.0	%		13.9	%
Total		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%

Prior to 1990, the Brazilian government specified the areas in which LPG distributors were permitted to operate and each LPG distributor was allocated a limit in its LPG sales for each Brazilian geographic region in which it operated. These limits impacted the growth of larger LPG distributors and limited competition among LPG distributors. These restrictions were removed as part of the deregulation process, resulting in a substantial increase in competition among domestic LPG distributors.

Considering that the bottled market for LPG is a mature market with relatively low consumption growth, the competition is largely based upon attempts by LPG distributors to increase market share at the expense of their competitors. LPG distributors in the bottled market compete primarily on brand awareness and reliability of delivery and the service provided to customers. Ultragaz believes that it is competitive in these aspects. Since per capita consumption is small, low distribution cost is the critical factor in dictating profitability. Therefore, LPG distributors largely compete on the basis of efficiencies in distribution and delivery as all LPG distributors currently purchase nearly all of their LPG requirements from Petrobras, and as Petrobras’ refinery price charged to the distributors is the same to all LPG distributors. Ultragaz’s principal markets, including the cities of São Paulo, Salvador and Recife,

51

contain heavy concentration of residential consumers and therefore distribution to this market can be carried out with great economies of scale resulting in lower distribution costs to Ultragaz. Additionally, Ultragaz enjoys low bulk LPG distribution costs through UltraSystem.

In addition to competing with other LPG distributors, Ultragaz competes with companies that offer alternative energy sources to LPG, mainly natural gas, and other sources such as wood, diesel, fuel oil and electricity. Natural gas is currently the principal source of energy against which we compete. Natural gas is currently less expensive than LPG for industrial consumers who purchase large volumes, but more expensive for residential consumers. In addition, supply of natural gas requires significant investments in pipelines. While fuel oil is less expensive than LPG, LPG has performance and environmental advantages over fuel oil in most uses.

In 2011, the Brazilian LPG market increased by 2.5% in terms of volume compared to 2010, mostly driven by the volume sold in the bulk segment, which increased 3.5% compared to 2010, mainly as a result of the strong economy. In 2012, the LPG market increased only 0.5% compared to 2011, mostly driven by the effect of lower economic growth over the bulk segment, mainly during the second half of 2012. In 2013, the Brazilian LPG market increased by 2.7% compared to 2012, mainly driven by the growth of 5.8% in the bulk segment due to the country’s economic growth.

The following graph shows LPG sales volume for the Brazilian market and Ultragaz for the periods indicated:

Income tax exemption status. Pursuant to legislation which provides tax relief for businesses located in the northeast region of Brazil, Ultragaz benefits from a 75% income tax reduction at the Caucaia, Mataripe, Aracaju and Suape filling plants, having expired or expiring in 2012, 2013, 2017 and 2018, respectively. These tax reductions are approved by SUDENE (Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast). Income tax exemptions amounted to R$9.1 million and R$9.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We cannot guarantee that there will be no amendments to the current tax legislation. For further information see Note 9(c) to our consolidated financial statements. In 2014, Ultragaz will request the extension of the recognition of the tax incentive for additional 10 years at Caucaia and Mataripe filling plants, based on investments in increasing the production capacity in both plants and in the modernization of the Mataripe plant.

Quality. We were the first Brazilian LPG distributor to receive ISO (International Standards Organization) certification for excellence in quality management. We were also the first LPG distributor in Brazil to be awarded with Prêmio Paulista de Qualidade, a well-recognized quality award in Brazil. Ultragaz is implementing the Management Excellence Model (Modelo de Excelência da Gestão^® – MEG), of the National Quality Foundation (FNQ). This system standardizes and certifies the main working processes in four areas: Quality Management (ISO 9001), Environmental Management (ISO 14001), Occupational Health and Safety Management (OHSAS 18001) and Social Responsibility Management (SA 8000). Also, in 2013, Ultragaz received several awards related to quality and management quality in different states in which it operates.

Fuel Distribution

Industry and Regulatory Overview

The Brazilian fuels market comprises the distribution and marketing of gasoline, ethanol, diesel, fuel oil, kerosene and natural gas for vehicles (NGV). In 2013, diesel represented 50% of the fuels distributed in Brazil, followed by gasoline, ethanol, fuel oils, NGV and kerosene, each of which represented 35%, 9%, 4%, 2% and 0.01%, respectively.

52

Growth in the fuel distribution sector has been directly influenced by GDP growth rates and size of light vehicle fleet. GDP growth is the main driver for diesel volume, given that diesel in Brazil is highly used for buses, trucks and agricultural engines. The size of the light vehicle fleet influences the growth in the combined volumes of gasoline, ethanol and NGV, which are basically used for light vehicles. The growth in the size of the car fleet in turn, is highly correlated with credit availability and disposable income. Since 2005, the Brazilian economy has been passing through a structural change with the creation of a well-established credit market for consumer goods.

In December 2013, credit in Brazil reached 57% of GDP, compared to 54% in December 2012, 49% in December 2011, 46% in December 2010, 45% in December 2009 and 41% in December 2008, which, combined with an increase in disposable income in Brazil, has had a positive effect on the sales of vehicles in those years. According to ANFAVEA, approximately 3.6 million new light vehicles were registered in Brazil in 2013, stable compared to 2012. As a consequence of the new vehicles sold, the light vehicle fleet is estimated to have grown by 7% in 2013, reaching 37 million at the end of the year. Among the total vehicles sold in 2013, including trucks and buses, 89% were flex-fuel vehicles, which have engines adapted to operate using either gasoline or ethanol, or by any combination of the two, 5% were gasoline-only fueled vehicles and the remaining 6% were diesel-only. Since the launching of flex-fuel vehicles in Brazil in 2003, 21.7 million flex-fuel cars were sold in Brazil.

Moreover, recent changes to legislation and inspection in the fuel distribution sector have helped to progressively curb unfair competition, creating a level playing field. These improvements should benefit the formal market by capturing the volume from the grey market.

According to ANP, the distribution of fuels (gasoline, ethanol and diesel) is made mainly through three channels, as follows:

• Service stations (77% of the market in terms of volume in 2013), which serve final retail consumers;

• Large consumers (16% of the market in terms of volume in 2013), mainly industries and fleets; and

• Retail - wholesale resellers — TRR (7% of the market in terms of volume in 2013), specialized resellers that distribute diesel to medium and small volume end-users.

The following chart shows the oil-derivative fuel distribution process in Brazil:

The following chart shows the ethanol distribution process in Brazil:

Distribution of oil-derivative products is carried out through an extensive network of primary and secondary storage terminals. Primary storage terminals are generally located near refineries and are used to store products to be sold to customers (service stations, large consumers and TRRs) and to be transported to secondary storage terminals.

Oil-derivative products are transported from refineries to primary storage terminals via pipelines and coastal or river shipment. Transportation of oil-derivative products between primary and secondary storage terminals is provided by pipeline, railroad, trucks and coastal or river barges. Ethanol is transported from the many distilleries to primary and secondary storage bases by trucks. Delivery to service stations, large consumers and TRRs is made exclusively by trucks.

All gasoline sold in Brazil must contain a certain proportion of anhydrous ethanol that can vary from 18% to 25%. In October, 2011, the Brazilian Agriculture Ministry reduced the required percentage of anhydrous ethanol mixed with gasoline from 25% to 20%. In May 2013, the Brazilian Agriculture Ministry increased the required percentage of anhydrous ethanol mixed with gasoline again to 25%, which remains the current percentage as of the date of this annual report.

Gasoline “A”, as it is known in its unmixed form, is mixed with anhydrous ethanol at primary storage terminals or at secondary storage terminals. Gasoline “A,” mixed with anhydrous ethanol, forms gasoline “C,” which is delivered directly to service stations and large consumers by truck.

Since January 2008, under the Biodiesel Program, distributors have been required to include a percentage of biodiesel in the volume of diesel sold, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, this program has also the social purpose of encouraging and developing small agriculture producers of biodiesel raw materials. From January 2008 to June 2008, the biodiesel mix requirement was 2%. On July 1, 2008 and 2009, the biodiesel mix requirement was increased to 3% and to a further 4%, respectively. Since January 1, 2010, the biodiesel mix requirement is 5%.

As of December 31, 2013, there were 214 fuel distributors authorized by ANP to operate in Brazil.

Supply. Petrobras is currently the only relevant supplier of oil derivatives in Brazil, accounting for 99% of the domestic production. There are currently 16 oil refineries in Brazil, of which Petrobras owns 12. Petrobras’s total refining capacity in 2013 was 318 thousand cubic meters per day. Brazilian refineries are located predominantly in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil. The overall product yield for these refineries in 2013 was 40% diesel, 23% gasoline, 12% fuel oil, 6% LPG and 19% other products, including naphtha.

Ethanol is purchased from various producers. In 2013, there were almost 400 distilleries in Brazil, which produced approximately 27 million cubic meters of ethanol, 44% of which was anhydrous ethanol and the rest of which was hydrated ethanol. Brazil’s supply of anhydrous and hydrated ethanol is seasonal and depends on the sugarcane harvest. In 2013, 93% of such supply came from Central and Southern Brazil and the remainder of which came from Northern Brazil.

Biodiesel is purchased from the many producers of biofuels in Brazil, and its main raw materials are tallow and soy seeds. As of December 31, 2013, there were 58 biodiesel producers, located predominantly in the Midwestern region. Brazil’s biodiesel production in 2013 was less than half of its total production capacity. Since January 2008, which was the first year of the Biodiesel Program,

54

Petrobras has been required to purchase biofuels in auctions promoted by ANP and supply distributors with amounts of biodiesel corresponding to the proportional volume of diesel purchased. This policy aims to prevent distributors from selling diesel without including the minimum required amount of biodiesel.

The role of the Brazilian government. The Brazilian government has historically regulated the pricing of oil and oil-derivative products, ethanol, natural gas and electric energy. From 1990 onwards, the Brazilian oil and gas sector has been significantly deregulated. Until the adoption of the Law No. 9,478 in 1997, the Brazilian government maintained strict control over the prices that could be charged by (i) refineries to distributors, (ii) distributors to service stations and other channels and (iii) service stations to end-users.

Currently there is no legislation or regulation in force giving the Brazilian government power to set oil-derivative and ethanol fuel prices. However, given that Petrobras is a state-controlled company and the dominant supplier in this market, prices of oil-derivative fuels are still subject to indirect government influence, resulting in potential differences between international prices and domestic oil-derivative prices. Until 2005, the prices of certain oil-derivative products, especially gasoline and diesel, were periodically updated by Petrobras to minimize the differences between prices practiced in Brazil and in the international markets. From September 2005 to May 2008, gasoline and diesel prices remained unchanged.

From 2008 to 2010, Petrobras changed the prices of gasoline and diesel charged by refineries twice, and the Brazilian government simultaneously changed the CIDE tax in order to partially or fully offset the effect of the change in prices to the end consumer.

In October 2011, the Brazilian government reduced the percentage of anhydrous ethanol mixed into gasoline from 25% to 20%, due to a shortage of ethanol production. To avoid the gasoline price increase to the end consumer, the Brazilian government decided to simultaneously reduce the CIDE tax of gasoline A from R$230 per cubic meter to R$193 per cubic meter. In November 2011, Petrobras increased gasoline and diesel prices by 10% and 2%, respectively and, simultaneously, the Brazilian government reduced once more the CIDE tax of gasoline A to R$91 per cubic meter and that of diesel from R$70 per cubic meter to R$47 per cubic meter, therefore without affecting final consumer prices.

In June 2012, as a consequence of its increased requirements for importing oil products at prices above those practiced in Brazil, Petrobras increased gasoline and diesel prices by 3.9% and 7.8%, respectively, and the CIDE tax of both products was simultaneously reduced to zero by the Brazilian government, offsetting the effect of the increase in prices. In July 2012, Petrobras further increased its refinery price for diesel by 6.2%.

Due to the Real depreciation and that the average cost of oil derivatives imported from the international markets was higher than the price practiced by Petrobras in the Brazilian market, (i) in January 2013, Petrobras increased gasoline and diesel prices by 6.6% and 5.4%, respectively; (ii) in March 2013, Petrobras announced a new adjustment in diesel price, of 4.9%; and (iii) in November 2013, Petrobras increased gasoline and diesel prices by 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively.

Ethanol prices are deregulated, being freely charged by the ethanol producers. In order to curb unfair competitive practices in the ethanol sales, some measures have been taken by the government, supported by Sindicom members. In April 2008, it became mandatory for fuel producers and distributors, as well as TRRs, to issue electronic tax invoices in all the states of Brazil. In addition, in June 2008 the government, through the Brazilian Congress, enacted the Law 11,727/08, based on the Provisional Measure 425 (Medida Provisória 425), which came into force in October 2008. Under this law, two initiatives were imposed to prevent tax evasion: (i) increasing the proportion of collection of Social Integration Program Taxes (Programa de Integração Social - PIS) and Contribution for the Financing of Social Security Taxes (Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social - COFINS) at distilleries from 25% to 40% and (ii) requiring distilleries to install flow meters (medidores de vazão) to control the output of ethanol, which is still awaiting the definition of certain technical aspects to be implemented. In 2009, ANP started to track sales of methanol. The blending of methanol with ethanol is an example of product adulteration practiced by certain distributors or gas station owners, mainly in the State of São Paulo. On May 7, 2013, the government adopted the Provisional Measure 613 (Medida Provisória 613), which, among other resolutions, granted tax incentives to ethanol producers and to chemical producers through PIS and COFINS tax credits and reductions. As a result, all PIS and COFINS taxes levied on ethanol, which corresponded to R$120 per cubic meter as of December 31, 2013, are collected by the producers, and they receive a R$120 per cubic meter tax credit to offset the increased PIS and COFINS taxes levied on ethanol.

In accordance with the publication of the Law No. 11,097 on January 13, 2005, the National Biodiesel Program (Programa Nacional de Biodiesel) was created. Since 2008, a certain amount of biodiesel has been required to be added to diesel. In addition, some changes were required in the distributors’ facilities, as well as the restructuring of its logistics. Currently, distributors must add 5% of biodiesel in diesel, according to ANP Resolution No. 4/2010.

55

The role of Petrobras. Since its establishment in 1953, Petrobras maintained a legal monopoly in the exploration, production, refining, importing and transporting of crude oil and oil products in Brazil and its continental waters. This monopoly was confirmed in Brazil’s federal constitution enacted in 1988. As a result, Petrobras has historically been the sole supplier of oil and oil-derivatives in Brazil.

In November 1995, Petrobras’ monopoly was removed from the federal constitution by a constitutional amendment approved by the Brazilian Congress. According to this amendment, other state and private companies are permitted to compete against Petrobras in virtually all fields in which Petrobras operates. This amendment was also reflected in Law No. 9,478, dated August 6, 1997, which limited Petrobras’ monopoly to a maximum period of three years. Law No. 9,478 prescribed that the termination of Petrobras’ monopoly would be accompanied by the deregulation of oil, gas and oil-derivative product prices, and created a new regulatory agency, the ANP, to oversee all oil-related activities. However, in practice, Petrobras still remains basically the sole oil-derivative supplier of oil and oil-related products, including naphtha, LPG and oil-derivative fuels in Brazil, even though there are no legal restrictions on the operations of other suppliers or to imports.

Since 1971, Petrobras has acted in the Brazilian fuel distribution market through its subsidiary BR. BR is the leader in the fuel distribution market, with market share of 33% in 2013, according to ANP.

With the discovery of the pre-salt reservoirs, the Brazilian government adopted a series of measures in the regulatory environment, establishing a new legal framework for the oil industry, which may result in a series of regulations, such as production-sharing and concession contracts, among others. This discovery may bring a new scenario for the sector, creating major investments and adaptations in infrastructure such as new refineries, highways, pipelines, platforms, ports and ships, among others.

The role of the ANP. The ANP is responsible for the control, supervision and implementation of the Brazilian government’s policies with respect to activities related to oil, natural gas and biofuels. The ANP regulates all aspects of the industry, from the exploration and/or production, transportation to the sale of these products, including product quality standards and to the minimum storage capacities required to be maintained by distributors with respect to oil and oil products in Brazil. Prior to 1999, there were no formal requirements imposed by the Brazilian government on the fuel distribution segment. Distributors were only required to register with the national department of fuels or the national Petroleum Agent or the National Agency prior to starting operations. On December 30, 1999, the ANP established through Resolution No. 202, a number of requirements, with which all distributors must comply. In order to operate in Brazil, a fuels distributor must be licensed with the ANP and must meet certain minimum operating requirements, including:

• minimum paid-in capital of R$1,000,000;

• proof of financial capacity equivalent to expected volumes to be sold (proof of such capacity may include proof of ownership of assets, insurance or a bank guarantee).

ANP is also responsible for establishing the limits of oil-based fuel volume purchased by distributors based on their storage capacity. Fuel distributors are required to provide the ANP with monthly reports showing their previous month sales.

Fuel distribution for service stations and large consumers must be carried out only by a registered distributor. TRRs are allowed to trade only diesel, lubricants and grease to small-end consumers. Each distributor must provide the ANP with information regarding its contracted independent dealers on a monthly basis. The construction of storage facilities and approval for new retail sellers to operate is subject to the prior approval of the ANP. Service stations and storage facilities may only begin operations after ANP inspections.

Regulation. Distributors are prohibited from operating service stations, other than for training purposes or for the development and testing of new products and services, and therefore, service stations are operated by independent resellers. Three types of arrangements between distributors and service station operators are generally used in the fuels industry: (i) the distributor owns land, equipment and buildings for a service station that it leases to an operator, (ii) a third party owns land, leases it to a distributor who constructs a service station facility or makes improvements to an existing facility and leases the station to an operator and (iii) the operator or a third party owns the land and constructs a service station facility or makes improvements to an existing facility, which is typically financed by the distributor (the most common practice in Brazil). Agreements between distributors and operators of service stations are generally exclusive for a given period. In exchange for being an exclusive supplier, the operator is granted the right to operate under the distributor’s brand name. The agreement might also include provisions related to the leasing of pumps and tanks, layout standards, training, quality control, technical and financial support, marketing and advertising support and franchises for complementary services, such as convenience stores (am/pm) and lubricant servicing franchises (Jet Oil).

Sindicom represents the interests of major Brazilian fuel distributors, which controlled 77% of the Brazilian fuel market in 2013. Sindicom was formed in 1941 and its primary purpose is to promote uniform standards for industry regulation and to provide a forum in which members can discuss matters affecting the industry. Sindicom represents its members in discussions before federal and state governmental bodies and presents its members perspectives on relevant laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, operations, industrial and occupational safety and environmental protection.

56

During the 1990s, when the process of deregulation began in the fuel distribution sector in Brazil, a number of parties entered the market with a business model based on cost advantages derived from anticompetitive practices through fuel adulteration and tax evasion, including (i) diluting gasoline by mixing solvents or adding anhydrous ethanol in an amount greater than the permitted by applicable law (anhydrous ethanol has its taxation incorporated into gasoline “A” and is historically cheaper than gasoline), (ii) non-payment of federal taxes on fuels, taxes on gross revenues and state value-added taxes and (iii) selling anhydrous ethanol mixed with water as hydrated ethanol. Such practices have enabled these players, all of them non-Sindicom distributors, to increase their market share by charging artificially lower prices also based on artificially lower costs. Sindicom distributors, including Ipiranga, have taken, individually and collectively, a number of actions targeted at reducing or eliminating the effects of these anticompetitive and illegal practices.

Among the actions taken were:

(i) significant interaction with the Brazilian judiciary, including holding seminars for judges and prosecutors concerning the problems facing the industry and directly participating in tax litigation involving distributors that are not Sindicom members, (ii) sponsorship of the development of a chemical coloring solvent that is added to anhydrous ethanol, in order to prevent the addition of water (and later to be sold as hydrated ethanol), (iii) support of ANP resolution that restricts the sale of hydrated ethanol by producers to distributors and prohibits sales by producers to resellers or end-consumers; (iv) support of ANP resolution that forbids distributors to sell fuels to resellers operating under another brand, except for white-flag dealers, who operate without a brand; (v) contribution to the development of CODIF, a system that electronically controls the collection of value-added taxes on fuel sales, (vi) support in the implementation of electronic invoices at the federal level, concluded in 2008, (vii) support for ANP regulation which established brand definition and the obligation of disclosing the origin of the fuels in order to inhibit certain distributors from using a fake brand (known as cloned stations); and (viii) the suggestion of several other measures, supported by ANP, including focusing the collection of PIS and COFINS — Social Integration Program Taxes and Contribution for the Financing of Social Security Taxes on distilleries and the installation of flow meters, which were included in Law 11,727/2008. As a result of these efforts, the more regulated market is leading to the weakening of the business model of lower prices based on artificially lower costs and unfair practices, creating a level playing field and increasing sales volume of the formal market. In 2013, share of ethanol volume sold by Sindicom members over the total market was 66%, a significant increase compared to 59% in 2012 and 58% in 2011, as a result of the practices mentioned above and investments made by the branded distributors in converting unbranded service stations.

Environmental, health and safety standards. Fuel distributors are subject to Brazilian federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, safety and occupational health and safety licensing by the fire department and transportation. The National Environment Council — CONAMA — is the principal responsible for ruling and accepting matters with respect to the environment. Environmental state agencies and municipal departments are also responsible for establishing and supervising complementary laws and regulations within its areas of operation.

Fuel distributors must obtain authorizations and/or licenses from federal, state and/or municipal environmental agencies and fire departments to implement and operate their facilities. They are required to develop programs to control air and water pollution and hazardous waste. Emergency plans for its plants and headquarters, involving communities, public companies and other private companies must also be implemented. Additionally, fuel distributors must also comply with laws from the Ministry of Labor, which prescribes occupational health and safety standards. To maintain a safe and healthy workplace, companies must carry out comprehensive occupational health and safety programs.

Fuels may be transported only under special conditions. In Brazil, transportation of dangerous products is regulated and the regulations cover all modes of transport.

Ipiranga

Ipiranga was founded in 1937 and is currently the largest private player in the Brazilian fuel distribution market, with 22% market share in terms of volume in 2013 and 6,725 service stations as of December 31, 2013.

In 2013, Ipiranga distributed diesel, gasoline, ethanol, NGV, fuel oil, kerosene, lubricants and greases nationwide. In addition to a traditional fuel distribution business, Ipiranga has implemented a differentiation strategy, by offering other products and services throughout its service station network. This strategy has led to a significant and growing convenience store business, branded “am/pm,” including the expansion of the bakery network and private label products under the same brand, as well as lubricant servicing businesses, “Jet Oil” and “Jet Oil Motos”, and the consolidation of other related products and services.

57

Among the other related products and services, we highlight Ipiranga’s loyalty program, Km de Vantagens, which has reached 15 million participants as of December 31, 2013, and the online service station, “Posto Ipiranga na Web”, where customers can acquire fuel credits online and use them to purchase fuel at our accredited fuel stations.

Markets and marketing. Until March 2009, Ipiranga only operated in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil. After the acquisition of Texaco, Ipiranga became a nationwide distributor and started to operate in the Northeast, North and Midwest regions of Brazil, regions where the fuel consumption grows above the national average rate, given the lower car penetration and faster-growing household income compared to other regions. Under the terms of the Ipiranga Group Transaction Agreements, Petrobras had the exclusive right to use Ipiranga’s brand in the operating regions of the Northern Distribution Business for five years from the date of the acquisition of Ipiranga Group, which expired in April 2012. Until then, Ipiranga operated under the Texaco brand in those regions. In November 2010, Ultrapar closed the acquisition of DNP, which distributes fuel in the states of Amazonas, Rondônia, Roraima, Acre, Pará and Mato Grosso through a network of 110 service stations, with 4% market share in the North region of Brazil in 2010. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.” In 2013, Ipiranga continued its strategy to increase its scale of operations, adding 265 service stations through the conversion of unbranded service stations and the opening of new gas stations. Furthermore, Ipiranga ended 2013 with 488 eco-efficient service stations (Posto Ecoeficiente — service stations with a set of solutions that reduce the consumption of materials, natural resources and energy of these service stations, including the reduction of waste generated during the construction). Ipiranga is also focusing on the expansion of Jet Oil and am/pm franchises to enhance the service and convenience of consumers at the Ipiranga service stations.

Growth in the fuel distribution sector is directly influenced by GDP growth rates and by the size of the car fleet. In 2009, despite the 0.6% decrease in GDP, a record level of car sales was registered in Brazil, as a result of the government reduction in taxes levied on car sales to encourage an increase in demand in the sector, as well as higher credit availability during the second half of the year. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the automotive sector reached new records of light vehicles registered, mainly as a result of the increased disposable income and credit availability. See “Item 5.D. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Trend Information.” See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Fuel Distribution — Industry and Regulatory Overview.” Furthermore, legislative changes and inspection in the fuel distribution sector occurred in the last years have progressively curbed unfair competition, creating a level playing field in the Brazilian distribution market. Overtime, these improvements should benefit the formal market by capturing the volume from the grey market.

In 2013, 3.6 million new light vehicles were registered according to ANFAVEA, stable in relation to 2012, with flex fuel cars representing 89% of the total light vehicles registered in 2013.

According to ANFAVEA, the estimated total light vehicles fleet in Brazil as of December 31, 2013 was 37 million, an increase of 7% from 2012, as a consequence of the 3.6 million new cars registered and an estimated scrapping of 1.3 million cars.

In 2013, the fuel volume sold by Ipiranga grew by 6% compared to 2012, with (i) the combined sales volume of gasoline, ethanol and NGV increasing by 9%, driven by the growth in light vehicle fleet and investments made to expand its service station network, and (ii) diesel sales volume increasing by 4% in the period, as a result of the investments made to capture new clients and, to a lesser extent, the growth of the Brazilian economy, particularly in the retail and agricultural sectors.

Ipiranga’s sales volume from its service station network accounted for 73% of its total sales in 2013. As of December 31, 2013, there were 6,725 service stations operating under the Ipiranga brand, of which 723 had the land either owned by us or under a long term lease to us and 6,002 owned by third parties. In 2013, 89% of these service stations were located in urban, high population density areas, with the remaining 11% located in highways.

Distribution to large consumers represented 20% of Ipiranga’s sales in 2013. Ipiranga directly sold to 4,620 customers in 2013, including state and municipal governments, industries and cargo and passenger transportation fleet owners.

Ipiranga also sells diesel, lubricants, fuel oil and kerosene to 262 independent TRRs that redistribute these products to small and medium-sized companies throughout Brazil. Ipiranga’s TRR clients consist mostly of companies that have large fixed tanks at their facilities. These clients represented 7% of Ipiranga’s sales volume in 2013.

The relationship between Ipiranga and its clients is generally governed by exclusive supply contracts with terms ranging from 1 to 10 years. The types of contracts change according to the distribution channel. For service stations, contracts usually have longer terms (5 to 10 years) and may provide for the installation of pumps and tanks on the client’s premises and for the offering of financing and bonuses. Supply to large consumers and TRRs is rarely made under contracts. When contracts are entered into with these clients, the terms range from 1 to 3 years.

Distribution infrastructure. Ipiranga operated through 87 storage terminals as of December 31, 2013 that were strategically located to facilitate fast and economic delivery of its products. There are two types of facilities: primary storage terminals, generally located near the coast and major cities, which are supplied by refineries through pipelines, and secondary storage terminals, which are mainly located inland, and are supplied by primary terminals by railroad or through road transportation for locations not accessible by railroad. Ethanol is supplied to the terminals by road.

Ipiranga has its own fleet of trucks through its transportation company, Tropical, which was responsible for transportation of 29% of the volume of fuels sold by Ipiranga in 2013, with the remaining portion of the transportation provided by third parties.

Resellers. Ipiranga generally enters into three types of arrangements with resellers in which: (i) it owns land, equipment and buildings for a service station that it leases to an operator, (ii) a third party owns land, and leases it to Ipiranga and it constructs a service station facility or make improvements to an existing facility and leases the station to an operator and (iii) the operator or a third party owns the land and constructs a service station facility or makes improvements to an existing facility that is typically financed by Ipiranga. Under the terms of the contracts and in accordance with applicable law, each reseller operating under Ipiranga’s brand must purchase fuels exclusively from us. For the year ended December 31, 2013, 73% of Ipiranga’s volume sold was through resellers.

Ipiranga has created incentive programs over the years in order to strengthen brand loyalty and its relationship with its reseller network, as well as to differentiate itself from its competitors. These incentive programs include annual rewards to its resellers with international trips through the relationship program Clube do Milhão (Million Club), upon the accomplishment of pre-established goals.

Ipiranga also establishes relationship programs with resellers’ employees, such as Clube Vip (VIP Club), to encourage the sale of added-value products and services, including credit cards, such as Cartão Ipiranga (Ipiranga private label credit card), Cartão Ipiranga Carbono Zero (Ipiranga Zero Carbon Card), premium gasoline and lubricants. Training programs are provided to these employees focusing on developing their knowledge about the business and their capacity for selling products and services.

In 2009, Ipiranga created Km de Vantagens, a pioneer customer loyalty program in the fuel industry that provides awards and benefits to customers and resellers. Ipiranga developed strategic partnerships to broaden the scope of the program and the benefits for its clients and resellers, including partnership in areas of entertainment, tourism, magazines and airline tickets, among others. By the end of 2013, Km de Vantagens, the largest loyalty program in Brazil, had more than 15 million clients registered. Each year, Ipiranga seeks new initiatives to add further value to the program, maintain current participants and increase the number of new participants. In 2013, we entered into partnerships with selected Brazilian soccer clubs pursuant to which our clients were allowed to exchange points for discounts in the purchase of soccer game tickets.

In 2010, through its am/pm convenience stores, the largest convenience store network in Brazil, Ipiranga launched some initiatives to increase product offer through the launch of private label products, including energy drinks and snacks, and the expansion of the am/pm bakeries, providing to the resellers the benefit of an additional source of income, as well as strengthening the am/pm brand. Ipiranga ended 2013 with 1,565 am/pm stores and 277 bakeries.

59

The Jet Oil units, Ipiranga’s lubricant-changing and automotive service specialized network, ended 2013 with 1.235 franchises, including 241 Jet Oil Motos, the first specialized lubricant-changing and service network for motorcycles.

In November 2012, Ipiranga and Odebrecht TransPort Participações S.A. formed a joint venture to operate in the segment of electronic payment for tolls, parking and fuels – ConectCar. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Our Strategy — Enhance retail network.”

Another initiative developed in 2013 was “Ipiranga Frotas”, a fleet management service offered to qualified corporate clients and intended to enhance their brand loyalty to Ipiranga. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Our Strategy — Enhance retail network.”

These strategic differentiation initiatives implemented by Ipiranga resulted in a better value proposition for customers and resellers, generating benefits for the whole chain – the consumer gets access to differentiated products, the reseller earns higher revenues, and the service station obtains a differentiated positioning, thus contributing for an increase in the company’s income.

In line with this strategy, Ipiranga created the marketing campaign “Ipiranga: um lugar completo esperando por você” (“Ipiranga: a complete place waiting for you”). The concept consists of creating a place where customers can find a broader range of products and services to meet their consumption needs. This concept is stimulated on Ipiranga’s communications, especially its TV ads, which includes the catchphrase “Pergunta lá no Posto Ipiranga” (“Ask there at the Ipiranga service station”), commonly used by many Brazilians in other contexts than purchasing fuels.

In 2013, Ipiranga signed the UN Global Compact, an initiative sponsored by the United Nations formed by companies, institutions and the society. Its main goal is to mobilize the international business community to adopt internationally accepted business practices in the areas of human rights, labor relations, environment and anti-corruption intended to promote sustainable growth and civic awareness. Ipiranga annually publishes a Communication of Progress - COP - showing projects and actions taken during the year to comply with the UN Global Compact.

Supply of fuels. Currently, Ipiranga and its competitors purchase all or nearly all oil-derivative fuels from Petrobras under a formal supply contract that establishes the volume and the terms for supply. The contract is renewed annually and the volume contracted for is based on the volume purchased in the previous year. The procedures for ordering and purchasing fuels from Petrobras are generally common to all distributors, including Ipiranga. There have been no significant interruptions in the supply of fuels by Petrobras to the distributors, with the exception of an interruption in 1995 due to a 15-day strike by Petrobras employees.

The ethanol fuel market in Brazil consists of almost 400 distilleries, producing sugar and ethanol from sugarcane. Ethanol production occurs approximately eight months per year. A portion of the production is stored in the distilleries to meet demand during the inter-harvest season. Distilleries produce two types of ethanol: (i) anhydrous ethanol, which must be blended with gasoline and (ii) hydrated ethanol, which is essentially used for flex fuel vehicles.

Ethanol in Brazil is substantially based on sugarcane that can either be used to produce ethanol or sugar. From an ethanol producer’s perspective, the production ratio between ethanol and sugar is determined based on the respective prices of ethanol in the Brazilian market and of sugar in the international markets, such choice being fundamental for leveraging the profitability of their plant. Although ethanol production is subject to favorable climate conditions, the risk of interruptions in supply is primarily confined to the end of the harvest.

Storage of fuels. Ipiranga stores its fuels in large tanks at each of its facilities located throughout the regions in which it operates. Primary facilities receive fuels directly from Petrobras by pipeline and from distilleries by railroad and road transportation and secondary facilities are supplied by railroad and truck. See “Item 4.D. Information on the Company — Property, Plant and Equipment.” In 2013, Ipiranga’s storage capacity was 561,939 cubic meters. Based on its 2013 average sales, Ipiranga can store approximately eight days of fuel supply, in line with the average stock period of the fuel distribution industry. Accordingly, an interruption in the production of oil-based fuels for longer than that time period could result in shortages, such as the one that occurred during the Petrobras strike in 1995.

Competition. Ipiranga’s main competitors in 2013 were:

• Petrobras Distribuidora S.A. (“BR”), a subsidiary of Petrobras, which has been operating in the Brazilian fuel distribution sector since 1971. BR is the Brazilian market leader and operates throughout the entire country.

• Raízen Combustíveis S.A. (“Raízen”), a joint venture between Cosan S.A. (“Cosan”) and Shell International Petroleum Company Limited (“Shell”), a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell. Cosan is the largest producer of sugar and ethanol in

60

Brazil, having entered the fuel distribution market in 2008, when it acquired Esso’s fuel distribution business in Brazil. In June 2011, Cosan established Raízen, a joint venture with Shell in June 2011 by combining certain of their respective assets, including their respective distribution businesses.

• Alesat, a domestic Brazilian fuel distributor created in 2006 as a result of the merger of Ale and Satelite, is present in 21 states. In December 2008, Alesat acquired the fuel distribution business of Repsol YPF in Brazil.

The following table sets forth the market share of Ipiranga and its competitors based on ANP data:

(1) Volume sold of gasoline, ethanol and diesel.

(2) Includes the volume sold by Esso and Shell prior to the closing of the joint venture.

The retail market for gasoline, diesel and ethanol in Brazil is highly competitive, with similar products and relatively low margins. Therefore, our strategy is to differentiate ourselves in the market by offering value-added services to complement our main products, with the goal of becoming the preferred choice of customers. For more information on Ipiranga’s strategy see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Our Strategy — Enhance retail network.”

Quality. In 1998, Ipiranga’s terminal in Londrina (PR), received the first ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) certificate for a fuel distribution terminal in Latin America. In the same year, Ipiranga’s lubricant factory located in Rio de Janeiro obtained an ISO 9001 (Quality Management System). One year later, Ipiranga’s Betim Terminal obtained ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and in 2008 the OHSAS 18001 (Safety and Occupational Health Management System) certificate. These certifications are reaffirmed every three years. Furthermore, since 2002, Ipiranga has adopted its own environmental management system through a program named SIGA, which applies what we believe to be the highest international standards to its policies and practices. Initially focused only on environmental initiatives, in 2009 the program expanded its scope to include areas such as safety, health, quality and social responsibility, in order to align the operations of its terminals to a broader vision of sustainability, becoming SIGA+ (Ipiranga’s management system applied to health, safety, environment, quality and social responsibility). The program included audits in 2010 to verify the results of its implementation and to identify areas of improvement. Since then, SIGA+ grew from 23 operational units audited in 2010 to 41 in 2013, including all owned storage terminals and joint operated terminals operated by Ipiranga.

Petrochemicals and Chemicals

Industry and Regulatory Overview

The petrochemical industry transforms crude oil or natural gas into widely used consumer and industrial goods. The Brazilian petrochemical industry is generally divided in three sectors, depending on the stage of transformation of the petrochemical raw materials. The companies that operate in these different stages are known as first, second and third generation companies.

First generation companies. Brazil’s first generation companies, which are referred to as “crackers”, break down or “crack” naphtha (a by-product of the oil refining process), their principal feedstock, into basic petrochemicals. In Brazil, the crackers supply their naphtha requirements from Petrobras and through imports. Currently, Petrobras is the major Brazilian producer of naphtha. The basic petrochemicals produced by the crackers include olefins, primarily ethylene, propylene and butadiene, and aromatics, such as benzene, toluene and xylenes. Braskem has three naphtha-cracker plants, located in Camaçari, in Triunfo and in Mauá. Brazil’s naphtha cracker units sell these basic petrochemicals to second generation companies. The basic petrochemicals, which are in the form of either gases or liquids, are transported to the second generation companies through pipelines for further processing. This sector is passing through a restructuring process, with the emergence of Braskem as the main player and Petrobras as a relevant minority shareholder.

Second generation companies. Second generation companies process the basic petrochemicals produced by the crackers to obtain intermediate petrochemicals, such as:

• polyethylene, ethylene oxide, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, each produced from ethylene;

• polypropylene, oxo-alcohols and acrylonitrile, each produced from propylene;

• styrene butadiene rubber, or SBR, and polybutadiene, each produced from butadiene;

• caprolactam, produced from benzene; and

• purified terephtalic acid, or PTA, produced from p-xylene.

In 2013, there were about 50 second generation companies operating in Brazil, including Oxiteno. The intermediate petrochemicals are produced in solid form (as plastic pellets or powders) and in liquid form and are transported through roads, railroads or by ship to third generation companies.

Third generation companies. Third generation companies, known as transformers, purchase the intermediate petrochemicals from the second generation companies and transform them into final products, including:

• polyester — produced from PTA and ethylene glycol (ethylene glycols produced from ethylene oxide);

• plastics produced from polyethylene, polypropylene and PVC;

• elastomers produced from butadiene;

• acrylic fibers produced from acrylonitrile; and

• nylon produced from caprolactam.

62

Third generation companies produce a variety of consumer and industrial goods, including containers and packaging materials, such as bags, film and bottles, textiles, detergents and paints as well as automobile parts, toys and consumer electronic goods. There are over 11,500 third generation companies operating in Brazil.

Petrochemical complexes. The production of first and second generation petrochemicals in Brazil centers around three complexes: the northeast complex, the São Paulo petrochemical complex and the southern petrochemical complex. Each complex has a single first generation producer or cracker and several second generation companies.

The northeast complex, located in the municipality of Camaçari in the state of Bahia, began operations in 1978. It consists of approximately 15 second generation companies, including Oxiteno, situated around Braskem. Braskem currently has an ethylene production capacity of 1.3 million tons per annum.

The São Paulo complex, located in the municipality of Santo André and Mauá in the state of São Paulo, was created in 1972 and is the oldest petrochemical complex in Brazil. Braskem, supplies first generation petrochemicals to 26 second generation companies including Oxiteno. Braskem has an ethylene production capacity of 700 thousand tons per annum.

The southern complex, located in the municipality of Triunfo in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, is based around the raw materials cracker, Braskem, and includes six second generation companies. Braskem’s plant in Triunfo has an ethylene production capacity of 1.5 million tons per annum. Oxiteno does not purchase ethylene from Braskem in Triunfo, but purchases C4, a raw material used in the production of Methyl-ethyl-ketone, or MEK.

In December 2005, Rio Polímeros S.A. (“RioPol”), a subsidiary of Braskem located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, started operations of its ethylene production plant based on natural gas. RioPol has an ethylene production capacity of 520 thousand tons per year. All of RioPol’s ethylene production is used in its own polyethylene production.

Role of Petrobras. Naphtha is the raw material used in Brazil for the production of basic petrochemicals such as ethylene and propylene. Petrobras is still the most important naphtha supplier in Brazil, even though its legal monopoly ended in August 2000. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas — Industry and Regulatory Overview” for a discussion of the termination of the Petrobras monopoly.

Since August 9, 2000, naphtha prices have been freely negotiated between Petrobras and its customers in Brazil.

Environmental, health and safety standards. Petrochemical companies are subject to Brazilian federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. At the federal level, the main regulators are CONAMA and the Ministry of Labor.

In accordance with environmental laws and regulations, petrochemical companies are required to obtain licenses for their manufacturing facilities from competent environmental authorities, which may also regulate their operations by prescribing specific environmental standards in their operating licenses. Petrochemical companies must satisfy regulatory authorities that the operation, maintenance, and reclaiming of facilities comply with regulations and do not cause damage to the environment.

Environmental regulations apply particularly to the discharge, handling and disposal of gaseous, liquid and solid products and by-products from manufacturing activities. Rules issued by CONAMA and by state authorities also prescribe preventive measures relating to environmental pollution and waste treatment requirements. In addition, the transportation, storage and supply of products are subject to specific standards designed to prevent spills, leakages and other accidents.

Historically, environmental regulations have imposed increasingly stricter standards, higher fines, and greater exposure to liability and increased operating costs and capital expenditures. In addition, civil, administrative and criminal sanctions, including fines and the revocation of licenses may apply to violations of environmental regulations. Under applicable law, Oxiteno is strictly liable for environmental damages.

Petrochemical companies are also subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations that establish occupational health and safety standards. In accordance with such laws and regulations, these companies are also required to report on their occupational, health and safety records on a yearly basis to the local office of the Ministry of Labor in each of the states in which they operate. They are also subject to all federal, state and local government regulation and supervision generally applicable to companies doing business in Brazil, including labor laws, social security laws, public health, consumer protection, securities laws and antitrust laws.

63

Oxiteno

We operate in the chemical sector through the second generation company, Oxiteno, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ultrapar and major producer of specialty chemicals. Oxiteno is the only producer of ethylene oxide, ethylene glycols, ethanolamines, glycol ethers and methyl-ethyl-ketone in Brazil, as well as the only producer of fatty alcohol in Latin America. Besides a plant in Venezuela, Oxiteno is the only ethylene oxide producer in South America. Its products are used in a broad range of industrial sectors, such as cosmetics, detergents, crop protection chemicals, polyester, packaging, coatings and oil industry. During the year ended December 31, 2013, Oxiteno sold 776 thousand tons of chemical and petrochemical products.

Oxiteno’s strategic focus is to provide a broad coverage of the ethylene oxide and derivatives, maintaining a leading position in these markets that strengthens its market positioning in Brazil. Oxiteno’s strategy is to increase its specialty chemical production capacity and its geographic reach.

Products and markets. Although a portion of Oxiteno’s products could be classified as either a commodity or a specialty chemical depending on the use of each product by our customer, for ease of understanding, Oxiteno’s products are here divided into two principal groups: (i) commodity chemicals, which are generally higher-volume products, with standard specifications, and (ii) specialty chemicals, which tend to be lower-volume products sold on the basis of chemical features and suitability to meet a particular end-use requirement. Oxiteno’s principal commodity chemicals are ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol. Oxiteno’s principal specialty chemicals include a wide variety of products that are used as surfactants, softeners, dispersants, emulsifiers and hydraulic fluids.

64

The following chart outlines the principal raw materials used by Oxiteno and their intermediate and final products.

65

Commodity products. The following are Oxiteno’s principal commodity products and their principal uses and markets:

Ethylene oxide. Ethylene oxide is a colorless and highly flammable gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Ethylene oxide is produced in a continuous production process by gaseous phase catalytic partial oxidation of ethylene by oxygen at high temperature and pressure. In 2013, Oxiteno used 98% of its ethylene oxide production in the production of derivatives and sold the remaining 2% to other chemical companies.

Ethylene glycols. The principal ethylene glycol produced by Oxiteno is mono-ethylene glycol, known as MEG. Oxiteno also produces di- and tri-ethylene glycol. Mono-ethylene glycol is a clear, non-flammable, non-volatile liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Ethylene glycols are produced in a continuous process from an ethylene oxide solution and principally sold to chemical companies for the manufacture of polyester fibers and polyethylene terephthalate, known as PET, with the remainder sold for use in the production of antifreeze, brake fluids, solvent and other chemicals.

66

Domestic sales. The Brazilian petrochemicals industry seeks to prioritize demand from the domestic market, where there is greater value added, although sales are also made to the overseas market. While Oxiteno sells the larger part of its commodities and specialty chemicals in Brazil, production capacity exceeds domestic market demand, with Oxiteno exporting surplus production to

67

more than 40 countries in Asia, Latin America, Europe and North America. Oxiteno maintains production capacity above local demand for strategic reasons. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 31%, 29% and 28% of Oxiteno’s net revenue from sales and services, respectively, were from sales outside Brazil. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 30%, 27% and 27% of Oxiteno’s sales volume, respectively, were from sales outside Brazil.

The following table shows Oxiteno’s domestic market sales volume by market segment for the period indicated:

Many of Oxiteno’s commodity product prices in the Brazilian market are set by reference to international contract prices in U.S. dollars, although the prices are denominated in Reais. For specialty products, sales are individually negotiated and sometimes made pursuant to contracts. Specialty chemicals are designed to meet specific customer needs and are less exposed to replacement by imported products. Accordingly, specialty chemicals have a higher value added and Oxiteno has more flexibility in pricing for these products.

Sales outside Brazil. Oxiteno’s export sales are made mainly to customers in the Mercosur, Far East, Europe and NAFTA. In Europe, Oxiteno exports its products mainly to the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Spain. In the Far East, Oxiteno exports its products mainly to China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.

Oxiteno exports a wide variety of chemical products including glycols, MEK, ethoxylated alkylphenols, glycol ether acetates, glycol ethers, ethanolamines and surfactants.

With the acquisition, in December 2003, of Oxiteno Mexico (formerly Canamex — a Mexican specialty chemicals company), Oxiteno has been focusing on establishing a growing presence in the Mexican market for specialty chemicals and creating a distribution platform for its product sales to the United States. At that time, Canamex had two production units, manufacturing principally ethoxylates, which were operating at 25% production capacity on the acquisition date due to serious financial difficulties. Currently, most of Oxiteno Mexico’s production is sold to the domestic Mexican market, largely for the home and personal care, food and agrochemical segments. The remaining sales volume is exported, mainly to the United States. In April 2007, Oxiteno acquired the operating assets of Unión Química SA de CV, in San Juan del Río, Mexico, adding 8,600 tons/year to Oxiteno Mexico’s production capacity of sulfonates and sulfates. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.”

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Oxiteno Mexico’s sales volume totaled 58,892 tons, representing a 5% decrease compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, and a 16% compound average growth rate over 2004, the first year that its plants operated under Oxiteno’s management. We believe Oxiteno Mexico’s success represents a positive step in our expansion outside Brazil, and also strengthens Oxiteno’s brand.

In September 2007, Oxiteno acquired 100% of the shares of Arch Andina in Santa Rita, Venezuela (renamed Oxiteno Andina). For the year ended December 31, 2013, Oxiteno Andina’s sales volume totaled 17,614 tons. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.”

In April 2012, Oxiteno acquired a specialty chemicals plant in Pasadena, Texas. For the year ended December 31, 2013, sales volume from the plant totaled 3,742 tons. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.”

In November 2012, Oxiteno acquired of 100% of the shares of American Chemical, a Uruguayan specialty chemicals company. For the year ended December 31, 2013, American Chemical’s sales volume totaled 50,352 tons. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.”

As part of our strategy to grow outside of Brazil, we opened commercial offices in Argentina in 2006, in Belgium in 2008, in Colombia in 2011 and in China in 2012.

In most cases, Oxiteno’s sales prices for its commodity chemicals in the export markets are based on international prices. International spot prices are established by reference to published data regarding the price at which industry participants have sold the relevant product. In general, Oxiteno’s operating margins on products manufactured in Brazil and sold in the international market are lower than operating margins for similar products sold in the domestic market. Nevertheless, Oxiteno deems it important to maintain a presence in international markets and is focused on expanding its presence in other specialty chemicals markets by opening international commercial offices. Oxiteno intends to shift sales to the domestic market as local demand for its products increases, but will continue to export and will maintain its presence in the international market.

Customers. Oxiteno’s most important customers for its commodity chemicals are chemical companies, surface coating producers and polyester producers. In turn, the customers for specialty chemicals constitute a variety of industrial and commercial enterprises including brake fluid distributors, agrochemical producers, manufacturers of food additives and manufacturers of detergents and cosmetics. Oxiteno believes that by distributing its products to a variety of markets it is able to protect itself, to a certain extent, from the effects of a decrease in economic activity in any particular market.

69

In 2013, Oxiteno’s main customers in the domestic market included Monsanto, which mainly purchases ethanolamines, Syngenta, Indústrias Gessy Lever Ltda. (Unilever), which mainly purchase surfactants and MEGlobal, which mainly purchases glycols. In the international market, Oxiteno sells both to industrial customers, including Unilever Argentina, Monsanto, Procter&Gamble, and Syngenta, as well as trading companies and other third-party distributors. In 2013, Oxiteno’s ten largest customers accounted for 34% of its net revenue from sales and services. No single customer accounted for more than 6% of Oxiteno’s net sales in such year.

Competition. Oxiteno competes in the Brazilian market largely with imported products. Since 1990, it has had to operate in an increasingly competitive environment due to imports from international and transnational petrochemical industries. As imported products are mostly commodity chemicals, competition is based principally on price. Importers incur additional costs when selling their products in the Brazilian market, due to import tariffs which generally range between 12% and 14%, and additional freight charges. However, factors such as product quality, timely delivery, reliability of supply and technical service and support are also important competitive factors. Because it is a local producer, Oxiteno believes it has a particular competitive advantage over imports with regard to timely delivery and reliability of supply.

In the case of specialty chemicals, pricing is a less decisive competitive factor than with true commodity chemicals, while conformity with specifications, product performance and reliability of service are comparatively more important. Access to technology, technical assistance and research and development are important factors with regard to conformity to specifications and product performance, especially in the development of new products to meet customers’ needs. Oxiteno’s strategy involves ensuring access to technology through its own research and development activity, licensing and joint ventures, if appropriate opportunities become available.

Oxiteno’s principal competitors are Shell Chemical, Dow Chemical, LyondellBasell, Clariant, BASF S.A., Solvay and Stepan.

Research and development. Oxiteno carries on a wide range of research and development activities, principally related to the application of specialty chemicals and improvements in production processes. As of December 31, 2013, 124 employees of Oxiteno were engaged in research and development and engineering activities. Oxiteno’s research and development expenditures in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were R$28 million, R$24 million and R$22 million, respectively. In 2004, Oxiteno founded its own “Science and Technology Council”, with six of the world’s major specialists in surfactants as members. These specialists, with experience in the surfactant industry or in the academic environment in the US, Europe and Latin America, follow the trends and opportunities in the sector. Since 2004, the council, currently composed of five specialists, has met once a year in São Paulo to analyze Oxiteno’s research and development project portfolio, as well as the management methodology applied. Their recommendations enable Oxiteno to improve its research and development activities’ efficiency, as well as to broaden the reach of its partnerships with international entities. In addition, Oxiteno has created specific scientific councils with specialists from its main segments.

Oxiteno’s investments in research and development have resulted in the introduction of 56 new applications for its products during the last three years. Oxiteno will continue to invest in research and development focused on developing new product applications to meet clients’ needs.

Raw materials. Oxiteno’s principal raw material is ethylene. For the year ended December 31, 2013, ethylene was responsible for 36% of Oxiteno’s variable costs of production and 30% of its total cost of sales and services. Among Oxiteno’s other raw materials, the principal materials include palm kernel oil, C4, butyl alcohol, primary fatty amine and phenol. Supply of ethylene constitutes an entry barrier for new ethylene oxide producers in Brazil since the current production capacity of ethylene by Brazilian crackers is committed to existing second generation companies, including Oxiteno, and significant investments are needed for the construction of a new cracker. Additionally, ethylene’s transport and storage is complex and expensive because it must be kept at a temperature below -200 degrees Fahrenheit (-100 degrees Celsius) during transportation and storage, therefore importing and exporting of ethylene is generally uneconomical. Accordingly, the naphtha crackers, such as Braskem, are largely dependent for their sales upon the second generation petrochemical companies, such as Oxiteno, located in the respective petrochemical complexes.

Ethylene supply. Ethylene is used for the production of ethylene oxide at the Camaçari plant and the Mauá plant. Braskem supplies all of Oxiteno’s ethylene requirements for the Camaçari plant and Mauá plant, through pipelines, thus minimizing the costs of delivery of ethylene and helping to ensure the reliability of supply. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Petrochemicals and Chemicals — Industry and Regulatory Overview.”

Oxiteno has a supply agreement with Braskem which establishes a minimum quarterly consumption level of ethylene Oxiteno is required to purchase and the conditions for the supply of ethylene until 2021 at the Camaçari plant. The current minimum purchase commitment is 205 thousand tons of ethylene and a maximum of 220 thousand tons of ethylene per year. Should the minimum purchase commitment not be met, Oxiteno would be liable for a fine of 40% of the current ethylene price for the quantity not purchased.

70

In August 2008, Oxiteno signed an ethylene supply agreement with Quattor (which now is owned by Braskem) that expires in 2023 at the Mauá plant. The contract establishes and regulates the conditions for the supply of ethylene to Oxiteno based on the international market for this product. The minimum purchase is 22,050 tons of ethylene semiannually. The minimum purchase commitment is subject to proportional reduction in the case of scheduled shutdowns in the supplier’s and/or Oxiteno’s facilities.

Oxiteno does not maintain storage of ethylene and any unexpected interruptions in supply from the crackers would have an immediate impact on Oxiteno’s production.

First generation petrochemical companies undergo scheduled maintenance shutdowns. Oxiteno anticipates these shutdowns by building up inventory. Oxiteno also uses these planned shutdowns for regular maintenance work on its own plants or eventual substitution of catalysts or for expansion of installed capacity.

Price of ethylene. The price of ethylene supplied by Braskem to Oxiteno for the production of goods to be sold in Brazil is linked to ethylene contract prices on international markets as from August 2006 to our plant in Camaçari and as from August 2008 to our plant in Mauá.

The following table shows the average ethylene prices referenced to the North-Western Europe (NWE) contract prices:

As naphtha is the main raw material for the production of ethylene in Brazil, fluctuations in the price of naphtha strongly influence fluctuations in the price of ethylene. Because the main determinant of the price of naphtha is the price of crude oil, the price of naphtha, and thus ethylene, is subject to fluctuations based on changes in the international oil price. The increases in the price of ethylene could affect Oxiteno’s competitiveness in the petrochemical market. See “Item 3.D. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Ultrapar and Its Industry.”

In April 2013, the Brazilian government announced a reduction in the PIS and the COFINS taxes levied on certain raw materials for the petrochemical industry (first and second generation), including ethylene. The PIS and the COFINS paid on raw material procurement, including ethylene, was reduced to 1% from 9.25%. The lower tax rate was effective from May 2013 and is valid until 2015. After 2015, it will be gradually increased to reach 5.6% in 2018.

71

Other raw materials. For the year ended December 31, 2013, other raw materials, such as palm kernel oil, C4, butyl alcohol, acetic acid, nonene, phenol, primary fatty amine, ethanol, oxygen, base oils, ammonium and other accounted for approximately 34% of Oxiteno’s variable costs and 29% of its total costs of sales and services.

Oxiteno generally obtains these other raw materials from a variety of sources, except for phenol, which Oxiteno purchases principally from a single supplier, Rhodia Poliamida Especialidades Ltda., and for C4, which is supplied by Braskem in Triunfo.

Utilities. Electric power, steam and natural gas are the main utilities required for Oxiteno’s production. Part of the electricity and steam used by Oxiteno is generated internally and part is purchased from electricity companies and third-party suppliers of steam in the regions where Oxiteno’s plants are located. Natural gas is purchased from local companies. In 2013, electric power represented 2% of Oxiteno’s variable costs.

Income tax exemption status. Pursuant to legislation that provides tax relief for businesses located in the northeast region of Brazil, Oxiteno benefits from a 75% income tax reduction approved by SUDENE (Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast) at both Camaçari plants, one for Oxiteno Nordeste and the other for Oleoquímica, expiring in 2016 and 2022, respectively. Income tax exemptions amounted to R$42.0 million and R$29.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We cannot guarantee that there will be no amendments to the current tax legislation. For further information see Note 9(c) to our consolidated financial statements.

Maintenance and quality control. Oxiteno carries out a program of preventive maintenance at each of its plants and uses statistical analysis to help predict production problems. The shutdowns due to the maintenance program usually take place at the same time as the shutdowns for the change of the ethylene oxide catalyst. In the case of the ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol units at the Mauá and Camaçari plants, which have continuous production processes, maintenance is preferably scheduled for periods when the relevant cracker, which supplies ethylene to the plant, is scheduled to be shut down for maintenance. Each cracker is typically shut down for maintenance for a period of approximately 20 days every 36 to 48 months. The same happens to the Triunfo plant, which receives C4 from Braskem. In the case of the other production units at such plants and the Tremembé plants, maintenance is performed during scheduled breaks in production, and the frequency and period for maintenance vary depending on the nature of the product. Oxiteno uses its own employees for specialized maintenance and uses third-party contractors for routine maintenance. In addition, Oxiteno has a team of employees responsible for quality control that operates continuously.

Health, safety and environmental matters. Oxiteno continuously monitors its compliance with federal, state and municipal legislation applicable to its various places of operation. In accordance with applicable law, Oxiteno is strictly liable for losses and damages of an environmental nature. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Petrochemicals and Chemicals — Industry and Regulatory Overview.”

Each of Oxiteno’s plants is licensed by the competent environmental authorities. Licenses granted are valid for a fixed period of time and then must be renewed. The other terms of the licenses vary according to the applicable legislation and to the periodic inspections performed by environmental authorities.

Waste products from Oxiteno’s industrial plants are discharged in accordance with legal requirements. Effluents are discharged and treated in Oxiteno’s own treatment centers or by petrochemical complexes where it has activities. Oxiteno seeks to reprocess solid waste products in cement furnaces. Where reprocessing is not possible, these products are mainly incinerated.

Oxiteno’s health and safety indicators are comparable to relevant international standards and are a priority in Oxiteno’s activities and in the action plans for the upcoming years.

In addition to the legal requirements, Oxiteno voluntarily complies with other requirements, such as those related to the Responsible Care Program, issued by ABIQUIM, which sets forth international standards for environmental protection and occupational health as well as safety measures to be followed by chemical product producers.

Oxiteno developed an important project to increase the use of renewable raw materials, the oleochemical unit, which uses palm kernel oil, extracted from the palm seed, to produce fatty alcohols and its by-products. After the start-up of the oleochemical unit, the share of renewable raw materials in Oxiteno’s raw materials total costs reached 17% in 2013, compared with 8% in 2007. In 2010, Oxiteno joined the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, an organization that works to regulate the sustainable plantation of palm, aiming to strengthen its regional leadership and its sustainability practices.

Storage services for liquid bulk

Ultracargo

Ultracargo is the largest provider of storage for liquid bulk in Brazil. Ultracargo’s main differentiating characteristic is the strategic location of its facilities, located close to the main Brazilian ports and rail junctions in Brazil. Ultracargo stores and handles liquid bulk, mainly chemicals, fuels and vegetable oil. Ultracargo also offers ship loading and unloading services, the operation of pipelines, logistics programming and installation engineering. Ultracargo’s ten largest clients accounted for 72% of its revenues in 2013, with its three largest clients, Braskem, Petrobras and Oxiteno accounting for 26%, 12% and 6%, respectively, of Ultracargo’s revenues. Ultracargo’s strategic location of its operations, close to the main Brazilian port terminals, railroad junctions and roads, is one of the company’s main strengths and a key driver of integrated services profitability. As of December 31, 2013, Ultracargo operated storage facilities with a capacity of 787 thousand cubic meters. Ultracargo’s history is one of pioneering logistics solutions in the Brazilian market. The latest available data shows that Ultracargo accounted for 71% of all tank capacity for liquids at the Aratu port in the State of Bahia, which serves South America’s largest petrochemicals complex. The company is also present in the port of Santos, in the state of São Paulo, which was responsible for 25% of the Brazilian foreign trade in 2013. The Santos terminal, which started operating in mid-2005, has become the largest storage facility operated by Ultracargo after the integration of the terminals acquired from União Terminais in 2008. In December 2009, with the acquisition of Puma, Ultracargo added 83.4 thousand cubic meters to its current capacity. In May 2012, Ultracargo acquired a liquid bulk storage terminal in Itaqui port, in the State of Maranhão, that added 55 thousand cubic meters to Ultracargo’s current capacity. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.”

Storage. Ultracargo primarily provides storage services for liquid bulk, especially chemicals, fuels and vegetable oil. Ultracargo provides storage facilities to Braskem and most of the second-generation petrochemical companies in the Northeastern Petrochemical Complex, including Oxiteno. Transactions between Ultracargo and Oxiteno are carried out strictly on an arm’s-length basis. At the end of 2003, Ultracargo maintained four liquid bulk storage terminals — in Aratu in the state of Bahia, in Paulínia and Santos in the state of São Paulo, and in Suape in the state of Pernambuco. In late 2004, Ultracargo completed construction of an intermodal terminal in Montes Claros, in the state of Minas Gerais. With the acquisition of União Terminais in 2008, Ultracargo also started to operate in Paranaguá, in the state of Paraná, and in Rio de Janeiro, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Since August 2012, Ultracargo has been operating in Itaqui, in the State of Maranhão. In 2012, Ultracargo sold to Ipiranga a liquid bulk terminal for fuels in Montes Claros in the state of Minas Gerais. Ultracargo operated the terminal until March 2013.

Ultracargo completed the construction of another intermodal terminal in Santos in mid-2005. This project is Ultracargo’s second port installation to integrate road, rail and maritime transportation systems, the first being Aratu. Ultracargo’s investment in this terminal was approximately R$80 million. The terminal occupies an area of approximately 64 thousand square meters that hosts 34 thousand cubic meters of tankage space for chemical products, 40 thousand cubic meters for ethanol and 38 thousand cubic meters for vegetable oils. The terminal was built in partnership with Crystalsev and Cargill/Coinbra. In 2007, Ultracargo also expanded its liquid storage capacity with the addition of 10 thousand cubic meters to Aratu.

In 2008, Ultracargo added 184 thousand cubic meters to its liquid bulk storage capacity through: (i) the acquisition of União Terminais which added 170 thousand cubic meters and (ii) the expansion of its terminal in Aratu, adding 14 thousand cubic meters. In 2009, Ultracargo added 95 thousand cubic meters to its liquid bulk storage capacity through (i) the acquisition of Puma’s assets in Suape, adding 83 thousand cubic meters and (ii) the expansion of its terminal in Aratu, adding 12 thousand cubic meters.

In 2010, Ultracargo added 16 thousand cubic meters to its liquid bulk storage in the terminal of Santos. Additionally, in July 2010, Ultrapar sold Ultracargo’s in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses, with the transfer of shares of AGT and Petrolog to Aqces. This transaction allowed Ultracargo to focus exclusively on its liquid bulk storage business, a segment in which it has a market leadership position. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.” In 2011, Ultracargo added 26 thousand cubic meters to its liquid bulk storage capacity in the Suape terminal. In 2012, Ultracargo added 55 thousand cubic meters to its liquid bulk storage capacity through the acquisition of a terminal in Itaqui. In 2013, Ultracargo concluded an expansion in the terminal of Santos, adding 46 thousand cubic meters (42 thousand cubic meters in 2012 and 4 thousand cubic meters in 2013), and in the terminal of Aratu, adding 26 thousand cubic meters (4 thousand cubic meters in 2012 and 22 thousand cubic meters in 2013).

73

Income tax exemption status. Pursuant to legislation which provides tax relief for businesses located in the northeast region of Brazil, Ultracargo benefits from a 75% income tax reduction approved by SUDENE (Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast) in its Aratu terminal, valid through 2012, and in its Suape terminal, valid through 2020. Income tax exemption amounted to R$1.7 million and R$4.4 million for the years ended on December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We cannot guarantee that there will be no amendments to the current legislation. For further information see Note 9(c) to our consolidated financial statements. On December 26, 2013, SUDENE approved the request for the extension of the tax incentive of the Aratu terminal for 10 more years, based on the investments made by Ultracargo in the modernization of this terminal. On January 16, 2014, the certification issued by SUDENE was filed with the Federal Revenue Service, which has a period of 120 days for approval, after which Tequimar (Aratu terminal) would be allowed to use such incentive, retroactively from January 1 of the year the incentive was granted.

Quality. In 2007, Ultracargo’s terminal in Aratu obtained an ISO 14001 certification and underwent re-certification processes, being the last one in 2012. The evaluation process occurred under a unified Quality Management System for the entire country. Paulínia terminal obtained the ISO 14001 certification in 2004 and underwent re-certification processes, being the last one in 2012. The adequate treatment of the environment as a central element of Ultracargo’s strategy is also present in the Santos terminal, designed and built to meet the highest safety and environmental standards, consequently obtaining the ISO 14001 certification in 2002 and OHSAS 18001 in 2003. In 2011, Suape terminal obtained an ISO 14001 certification. In 2012, Suape and Aratu terminals obtained OHSAS 18001 certification. In 2013, Paulínia terminal obtained OHSAS 18001 certification.

As of December 31, 2013, Extrafarma operated 195 drugstores in six states in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil (Pará, Amapá, Maranhão, Ceará, Piauí and Rio Grande do Norte). Extrafarma also operates one distribution center in Belém, in the state of Pará. Benefitting from over 50 years of activity in the wholesale and retail of pharmaceutical products and an experienced management team, Extrafarma is a leading drugstore chain in the regions in which it operates. Extrafarma operates in areas where recent growth rates are above the national average, which we believe presents attractive potential for future growth.

In 2013, Extrafarma’s gross revenues reached approximately R$1 billion, of which the retail business represented 85% and the wholesale business represented 15%.

Industry Overview

The retail pharmacy sector in Brazil is responsible for the purchase, distribution and resale of medicines to end consumers through drugstores. It is also a common practice in this industry to sell beauty and personal care products as well as certain convenience products at drugstores. Its main suppliers are pharmaceutical producers and beauty and personal care producers.

The retail pharmacy sector is a highly regulated industry. In Brazil, the regulation of the sector is divided among the Brazilian government, the state governments and municipalities. The Brazilian government enacts laws and regulations of general applicability, which are enforced and complemented by actions of the state governments and municipalities. At the federal level, the health and pharmaceutical sectors are regulated and supervised by the Ministry of Health, through ANVISA, established by Federal Law No. 9,782, of January 26, 1999.

74

The main rules governing the retail pharmacy sector in Brazil are related to pricing of medicines and the restrictions in the handling, transportation, storage and sale of these products. Every year, as of April 1, the government approves maximum wholesale and consumer price adjustments of medicines, according to a metric that includes inflation and the level of competition in each product category. Brazilian drugstores, unlike in the United States and other countries throughout the world, are not allowed to offer a wide range of sundry products, such as fresh food, cleaning products and office supplies, among others.

Brazilian drugstores’ total revenues, according to data from IMS Health and ABIHPEC, exceeded R$60 billion in 2012, with a real growth rate of over 10% per year during the last 5 years. We believe the sector has potential for continued growth, mainly due to (i) the aging population; (ii) higher levels of disposable income among consumers; (iii) greater access to medicines, especially due to the growing prominence of generic drugs; and (iv) the growing demand for personal care and beauty products. In addition, consolidation of the sector, supported by increasing market formalization and consequent investments, is in its early stages, with the top ten drugstore chains in Brazil accounting for only 35% of the overall market revenues. According to IMS Health, there were approximately 68 thousand drugstores in Brazil in 2013.

According to ABRAFARMA, the sale of medicines accounted for 67% of the total sales of its members in the retail pharmacy sector in Brazil in 2013, and products other than medicines accounted for the remaining 33% of the sales.

The main types of pharmaceutical products sold in Brazil are listed below:

Branded medicine – All medicines requiring a doctor’s prescription identified by trademark, usually consisting of innovative products, the efficacy, safety and quality of which have been scientifically proven upon registration with the ANVISA. The pharmaceutical company that developed the medicine typically holds its patent and exclusivity for its marketing during a minimum 10-year period, after which such medicine becomes a reference for the production of similar or generic medicines.

Generic medicine – Generic medicine is a drug product that is comparable to the reference (branded) medicine in dosage form, strength, route of administration, quality and performance characteristics, and intended use, and must contain the same active ingredients as the original formulation. However, instead of being marketed under a trademark, the generic medicine is designated by the name of the active ingredient. Generic medicines may be prescribed as an alternative to the reference medicines or may replace them at the time the medication is dispensed, as permitted by law. Generics can only be produced and sold after expiration, waiver or loss of the patent or other exclusivity rights associated with the comparable reference medicine. In addition, production and marketing of generic medication also requires proof of the efficacy, safety and quality of the generic drugs, as established through bioequivalence and bioavailability testing pursuant to which the composition and absorption by the body of the generic drugs are analyzed against the comparable reference medicine. Generic medicines have no trademark, but the name of the constitutive substance and the name of the laboratory that produces and sells it are printed on the label and packaging.

Similar medicine - Medicines containing the same or more active ingredients and the same concentration, manner of administration, dosage and therapeutic indication as the reference medicine, marketed under a different trademark that did not undergo the bioequivalence testing to prove its efficacy, safety and quality. Similar medicines, like generic medicines, can only be produced and sold after expiration or waiver of the patent for the comparable reference medicine. As the producers do not submit similar medicines to bioequivalence testing, which is an expensive process, similar medicines are usually cheaper than generic medicines and reference medicines. From 2014 onwards, companies producing similar medicines will be required to perform bioequivalence tests.

OTC – Over the Counter (OTC) medicines consist of both branded and generic medicines, as well as other products related to health and well-being that do not need prescription to be sold. They are generally used for the treatment of easily self-diagnosed acute conditions such as pain medication, flu, cough, fever and cold, antacids, vitamins, herbal products, products for vision, health equipment, first aid as well as nutritional dietary and convenience products.

The following chart shows the supply process in Brazil:

Oil Refining

RPR consists of a refinery in the city of Rio Grande, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the Southern region of Brazil. The refinery’s nominal capacity is 17,000 barrels per day, and its principal products include gasoline, diesel, naphtha, fuel oil, LPG, kerosene, maritime bunker, asphalt and special solvents. In 2013, the average production of the refinery was 15,706 barrels per day, which represented 92% of its nominal capacity, and less than 1% of the total Brazilian oil refining capacity, according to ANP data. Ultrapar currently owns approximately one third of the capital of RPR. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Description of the Acquisition of Ipiranga Group.” RPR’s results are accounted for using the equity method, as share of profit of joint ventures and associates. Results generated by the oil refining operations are not significant to Ultrapar. In 2013, the share of profits from RPR operations recognized into Ultrapar’s results amounted to R$1.3 million, corresponding to less than 1% of Ultrapar’s consolidated net income for the year.

75

In 2009 and 2010, RPR’s results benefited from relatively stable oil prices. Between 2011 and 2013, RPR faced a challenging operating scenario, due to costly raw materials and selling prices that have not followed these variations. No assurance can be given that market conditions will change throughout this year or that RPR will be able to continue to operate profitably. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.”

D. Property, Plant and Equipment

Ultragaz

Ultragaz’ LPG distribution network includes 17 filling plants. LPG is carried to the filling plants either via gas pipelines from Petrobras’ installations or by tanker trucks. When LPG transportation is via gas pipeline the bases are known as primary and when transportation is via tanker truck, the bases are known as secondary. Ultragaz also operates LPG storage bases, known as satellite bases for supplying our bulk trucks. Ultragaz maintains storage facilities for LPG bottles and satellite bulk distribution plants at strategic locations in order to maintain supplies close to its customer bases and thus to reduce transportation costs. LPG is stored in the filling plants in large LPG storage tanks with a typical capacity of 60 tons per tank. In the case of LPG to be delivered in bulk, the LPG is pumped directly from the storage tanks into the bulk tankers. In the case of LPG to be delivered in bottles, the LPG is pumped from the storage tanks into a number of filling heads, which fills the LPG bottles.

The following table sets forth the total storage capacity, total filling capacity during 2013 and the 2013 average filling utilization for each of Ultragaz’s primary and secondary filling stations and satellite stations.

In addition, Ultragaz maintains headquarters in the city of São Paulo and regional offices in the areas in which it operates. Ultragaz also maintains 57 points of sales.

Ipiranga

Distribution of fuels is carried out through an extensive network of primary and secondary storage terminals. Primary storage terminals are generally located near refineries and are used as storage terminals for products to be transported either to secondary storage terminals or to large customers and TRRs. Distributors own their storage terminals (Owned), lease space in third parties’ storage terminals (Third Party Agreement — TPA) or participate in pools (Joint-Operated terminals — JO) that serve two or more distributors. The following table sets forth the total storage capacity and ownership structure for each of Ipiranga’s primary and secondary facilities in 2013.

Oxiteno

Oxiteno has five plants in Brazil: Camaçari plant in the northeast complex, Mauá plant in the São Paulo complex, Triunfo plant in the southern complex and Tremembé and Suzano plants in the state of São Paulo.

The following table sets forth the current ethylene oxide production capacity of Oxiteno’s plants in Brazil.

Units	Capacity
	(in tons per year)
Camaçari		350,000
Mauá		90,000
Tremembé		—
Triunfo		—
Suzano		—
Total		440,000

81

Ethylene oxide is primarily an intermediate material used in the production of ethylene oxide derivatives — only 1% of Oxiteno’s sales volume in the year ended December 31, 2013 were ethylene oxide. Therefore, Oxiteno’s total production output may not be determined by adding the capacities of ethylene oxide and its derivatives.

As Oxiteno’s capacity for ethylene oxide derivatives exceeds its ethylene oxide production capacity, Oxiteno cannot produce the maximum amount of each derivative product in any year and, accordingly, actual production of ethylene oxide derivatives is less than its capacity shown in the tables below.

However, the excess production capacity of ethylene oxide derivatives provides a degree of operating flexibility that enables the company to switch production partially to other products and re-manage its ethylene oxide output for derivative products depending on relative demand, thus mitigating the effects of reductions in demand for certain products resulting from downturns in the petrochemical business cycle.

Camaçari plant. The Camaçari plant, located in the Northeast Complex, was built by Oxiteno and commenced production in 1978. The Camaçari plant produces ethylene oxide and ethylene oxide derivatives, such as ethylene glycols, ethanolamines, glycol ethers and ethoxylated derivatives. In July 1997, a plant was built with 105 thousand tons of ethylene oxide production capacity.

In October 2008, Oxiteno began operations of its oleochemicals unit in Camaçari, with a processing capacity of 100 thousand tons of vegetable oil per year (especially palm kernel oil), for the production of approximately 100 thousand tons of fatty alcohols and co-production of fatty acids and glycerin. In addition, Oxiteno also completed the capacity expansions of the ethoxylate and ethanolamine production at Camaçari, adding 120 thousand tons to the capacity of these products. In 2010, Oxiteno concluded the expansion of the ethoxylate production capacity at the Camaçari plant, which started operating in late 2010, increasing Oxiteno’s ethoxylates capacity by 70 thousand tons per year. In August 2011, Oxiteno also concluded the expansion of the ethylene oxide unit in Camaçari, adding 90 thousand tons per year of production capacity. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Investments.”

The following table sets forth the production capacity of the Camaçari plant for each of its principal products.

Units	Capacity

Fatty Alcohols		77,000
Fatty Acids		7,000
Glycerin		11,000

In 2013, the Camaçari plant operated at 74% of its production capacity. The plant had planned stoppages for regular maintenance.

Mauá plant. The Mauá plant, located in the São Paulo Complex, was the first plant built by Oxiteno and it commenced production in 1974. The Mauá plant has process units for ethylene oxide, ethylene glycols, glycol ethers, glycol ether acetates, natural alcohols and ethoxylated derivatives. In addition to the production units, the plant has drumming, storage, warehouse and maintenance facilities and also houses Oxiteno’s principal research and development laboratory. The following table sets forth the current production capacity of the Mauá plant for each of its principal products.

Units	Capacity
	(in tons per year)
Ethylene Oxide		90,000

In 2013, the Tremembé plant operated at 75% of its production capacity.

Suzano plant. In 2007, Oxiteno began operating a sulfonation and sulfation plant in Suzano, with a production capacity of 13.5 thousand tons per year. In 2012, Oxiteno added 14 thousand tons per year to its capacity. As a result, production capacity at the Suzano plant increased to 27.5 thousand tons per year.

Units	Capacity
	(in tons per year)
Sulfonation/Sulfation		13,500
Esterification		12,000
Betaines		2,000

In 2013, the Suzano plant operated at 65% of its production capacity.

Triunfo plant. The Triunfo plant is located in the Southern Complex. The Triunfo plant was built by Oxiteno and started production in October 1989. The Triunfo plant has two process units, one for the production of secondary butyl alcohol, which is used in the production of MEK, and one for the production of MEK.

The following table shows the current capacity of the principal units at the Triunfo plant.

Units	Capacity
	(in tons per year)
Oxygenated solvents		42,000

In 2013, the Triunfo plant operated at 98% of its production capacity.

With the acquisition of Oxiteno Mexico (formerly Canamex) in December 2003 and Unión Química in 2007, Oxiteno acquired three specialty chemical plants in Mexico. As of December 31, 2013, the Coatzacoalcos plant had a production capacity of 56 thousand tons per year of ethoxylates and 8 thousand tons per year of alkyphenols; the Guadalajara plant had a production capacity of 32 thousand tons per year of specialty chemicals and San Juan del Río had a production capacity of 8 thousand tons per year of specialty chemicals. In 2013, the Guadalajara, the Coatzacoalcos and San Juan del Río plants operated at an average rate of 72%, 73% and 66% of their production capacity, respectively.

83

Overview

Ultrapar is a Brazilian company with leading positions in the markets in which it operates achieved over its more than 75 years of existence. Our four principal businesses, as of December 31, 2013, were:

• LPG distribution, conducted by Ultragaz;

• fuel distribution, conducted by Ipiranga;

• chemicals production, conducted by Oxiteno; and

• storage services for liquid bulk, conducted by Ultracargo.

Ultragaz distributes LPG to residential, commercial and industrial market segments. Ipiranga distributes gasoline, ethanol, diesel, NGV, fuel oil, kerosene and lubricants through a network of 6,725 service stations and directly to large customers. Oxiteno produces ethylene oxide and its principal derivatives, and is also a significant producer of specialty chemicals, particularly surfactants. It manufactures approximately 1,500 products used in various industrial sectors such as cosmetics, detergents, crop protection chemicals, packaging, textiles and coatings. Ultracargo is the largest provider of storage for liquid bulk in Brazil, with seven terminals and storage capacity of approximately 787 thousand cubic meters.

On September 30, 2013, Ultrapar entered into an association agreement with Extrafarma, one of Brazil’s ten largest drugstore chains. Extrafarma operates as a drugstore chain and a wholesale distributor, with 195 drugstores and one distribution center as of December 31, 2013. The Extrafarma transaction closed on January 31, 2014 with its approval by the Extraordinary General Meetings of Ultrapar and Extrafarma and, consequentely, Extrafarma became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultrapar from February 1, 2014 onwards. Accordingly, Extrafarma’s results of operations did not affect our results of operations in 2013. Extrafarma’s results of operations were consolidated into Ultrapar’s results of operations as from February 1, 2014. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Recent Developments — Description of the Extrafarma Transaction.”

Brazilian economic background

Since most of our operating businesses are located in Brazil, we are significantly affected by Brazil’s economic and social conditions, including, but not limited to, gross domestic product, or GDP, growth rates, the domestic rate of inflation and exchange rate fluctuations.

Gross domestic product. The year of 2009 was marked by the effects of the global financial crisis, which was more intense during the first quarter of 2009, when the Brazilian GDP decreased by 3.0% compared with the same period of 2008. However, measures adopted by the Brazilian government to minimize the impacts of the crisis started to reflect on the economy in the following quarters, leading to a gradual recovery of the GDP. In 2009, Brazil’s GDP recorded a slight contraction of 0.3%. In 2010, Brazil’s GDP recorded a strong growth of 7.5%, driven by the good performance of the retail, automotive and civil construction sectors. Despite the domestic inflationary pressure and the effects of the economic crisis in Europe, Brazil’s GDP grew by 2.7% in 2011, primarily as a result of the good performance of the agricultural and retail sectors, combined with an increase in families’ consumption and historically low unemployment rates. In 2012, despite the Brazilian government’s measures to stimulate the economy through record low interest rates and tax incentives to certain segments, GDP grew by 0.9%, the lowest level since 2009, partially as a result of the slowdown in the global economy and low levels of local investments in previous years. In 2013, the macroeconomic environment remained challenging in Brazil, with a slightly better situation in the international market, influenced by the recovery in the U.S. and European economies. In order to curb the rising inflation rates observed throughout the year, the Brazilian government raised the economy’s base interest rate, from 7.25% at the end 2012 to 10.0% at the end of 2013. Brazil’s GDP grew by 2.3% over 2012. Our operations are significantly impacted by Brazilian GDP growth, specifically, sales of LPG to commercial and industrial customers, sales of diesel, Oxiteno’s sales to the domestic market and Ultracargo’s logistics operations.

Inflation and currency fluctuations. Our cash operating expenses are substantially in Reais and tend to increase with inflation. However, a significant portion of our costs of sales and services rendered are linked to the U.S. dollar and are not substantially affected by the Brazilian inflation rate. In addition, some of our Real-denominated debt is indexed to take into account the effects of inflation. In 2009, the quick rebound of the Brazilian economy from the global financial crisis drove an inflow of foreign investments in the country, thus contributing to a 25% appreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar — the highest appreciation in the decade. Despite the gradual recovery of the Brazilian economy after the first quarter of 2009, Brazil presented a 1.7% deflation in the year as measured by the IGP-M. According to the IPCA, however, the inflation rate was 4.3% in 2009, which is more in line with the growth trend in the Brazilian per capita income. In 2010, the IGP-M and the IPCA index rates were 11.3% and 5.9%, respectively. In 2010, the effects of the strong economic growth in Brazil, together with the public offering of shares of Petrobras in the third quarter, resulted in a record of foreign investments inflow to Brazil, contributing to a 4% appreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar. In 2011, the unstable international economic environment, especially in the second half of the year as a result of the effects of the European crisis, contributed to a 13% depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar for the year, reversing the appreciation trend in the first half of the year. In 2011, the IGP-M and the IPCA index rates were 5.1% and 6.5%, respectively. In 2012, the Brazilian government adopted counter-cyclical measures during the year to foster economic growth, such as the reduction of the SELIC rate and the reduction of federal taxes on the automotive sector. The effects of the lower economic growth, the lower interest rate and the

86

unstable international environment contributed to a 9% depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar. In 2012, the IGP-M and the IPCA index rates were 7.8% and 5.8%, respectively. In 2013, the Real depreciated 15% against the U.S. dollar influenced by the performance of the Brazilian economy, the economic rebound in the United States and the economic instability in the international markets. From December 31, 2013 to April 17, 2014 the Real depreciated 4% against the U.S. dollar. The principal foreign exchange risk we face arises from certain U.S. dollar denominated costs and expenses. Although a substantial part of our debt is dollar-denominated, it is currently hedged against currency devaluation through the use of various derivative instruments or matching investments in the same currency. Additionally, a significant part of our raw materials is also denominated or indexed to the U.S. dollar. A large part of our sales is denominated in Reais, although prices in the chemical business are benchmarked to prices prevailing in the international markets, which in turn are linked to U.S. dollars. Hence, we are exposed to foreign exchange rate risks which could negatively impact our businesses, financial situation and operating results as well as our capacity to service our debt.

The table below shows the inflation rate for the periods indicated, as measured by the IGP-M as well as the devaluation (or appreciation) of the Real against the U.S. dollar.

	Year ended December 31,
Index	2013			2012			2011
IGP-M		5.5	%		7.8	%		5.1	%
IPCA		5.9	%		5.8	%		6.5	%
Devaluation of the Real against the U.S. dollar		14.6	%		8.9	%		12.6	%

We manage the foreign exchange risk associated with the scheduled payments under the terms of our U.S. dollar indebtedness by investing in U.S. dollar-denominated securities and foreign currency/interest swap contracts, under which we pay variable interest in Reais based on the interbank certificate of deposit rate, or CDI, and receive fixed interest in U.S. currency. As of December 31, 2013 our total obligations denominated in foreign currency were R$1,340.2 million (US$572.1 million), including payables arising from imports, net of advances to foreign suppliers. At the same date our total asset position in foreign currency was R$1,483.7 million (US$633.4 million), comprised of investments indexed to U.S. dollars and hedging instruments used to manage fluctuations of exchange rates and foreign currency receivables exposures. As of December 31, 2013, Ultrapar had a net long exposure in foreign currency of R$143.5 million (US$61.3 million), comprised of a net short position in U.S. dollars of R$65.1 million (US$27.8 million) and a net long position in other currencies, principally the Mexican Peso and Venezuelan Bolivar, of R$208.6 million (US$89.1 million), due to the company’s operations in these two countries. For the purposes of this paragraph, U.S. dollar values were calculated based on the December 31, 2013 Real / dollar exchange rate. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Foreign Exchange Risk” for information about our foreign exchange risk hedging policy and Notes 14 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

The presentation of our financial condition and results of operations requires our management to make judgments regarding the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and may affect the reported amount of them as well as our revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimated under different variables, assumptions or conditions, even though our management believes that its accounting estimates are reasonable. The following paragraphs review the critical accounting estimates that management considers most important for understanding our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. An accounting estimate is considered a critical accounting estimate if it meets the following criteria:

• The accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made; and

• Different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have identified the following accounting policies as critical.

Allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the subsequent inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in an amount we consider sufficient to cover any probable losses on realization of our accounts receivable from our customers, as well as other receivables, and is included as selling expenses; no adjustment is made to net revenue from sales and services. In order to establish the

87

allowance for doubtful accounts, our management constantly evaluates the amount and characteristics of our accounts receivable. When significant delays occur and the likelihood of receiving these payments decreases, a provision is made. In case receivables in arrears are guaranteed or there are reasonable grounds to believe they will be paid, no provision is made. If the financial conditions of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required in future periods. However, because we cannot predict with certainty the future financial stability of our customers, we cannot guarantee that our allowances will continue to be adequate. Actual credit losses may be greater than the allowance we have established, which could have a significant impact on our selling expenses. See Notes 5 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Provisions for inventory losses. If net realizable values are below inventory costs, a provision corresponding to this difference is recognized. Provisions are also made for obsolescence of products, materials or supplies that (i) do not meet our specifications, (ii) have exceeded their expiration date or (iii) are considered slow-moving inventory. This classification is made by management with the support of its industrial team. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about our provisions for inventory losses.

Deferred income and social contribution taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities which do not expire, arising from tax loss carryforwards, temporary add-backs, revaluation of property, plants and equipment and other procedures. We periodically review the deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance, as required, based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. In the event we or one of our subsidiaries operate at a loss or are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates or time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we evaluate the need to establish a valuation allowance against in all or a significant portion of our deferred tax assets, resulting in an increase in our effective tax rate, thereby decreasing net income. A high degree of management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance. The principal uncertainty relates to the likelihood of future taxable income from the subsidiary that generated the deferred tax asset. A change in our projections of profitability could result in the need to record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, resulting in a negative impact of future results. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on taxes.

Provisions for tax, civil and labor risks. We are currently involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings that arise from our normal course of business as described in “Item 8.A. Financial Information Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information — Legal Proceedings” and Note 23 (items a,b,c,d) to our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the provisions for such proceedings in our consolidated financial statements are adequate. It is our policy to record provisions in regard to lawsuits when the probability of an existing obligation is considered more-likely-than-not to occur in the opinion of our management, based on information available to us, including information obtained from our internal and external legal counsel. Future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions, by the effectiveness of our strategies relating to these proceedings, by future developments in each matter being discussed or by changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.

Property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, for the periods mentioned in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements, taking into account the useful life of the assets, which are reviewed annually.

Intangible assets. Intangible assets include assets acquired by us from third parties, according to the criteria below (see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements):

• Goodwill is carried net of accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2008, when it ceased to be amortized. Goodwill generated since January 1, 2009 is shown as intangible asset corresponding to the positive difference between the amount paid or payable to the seller and the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity, and is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the respective cash generating units (“CGU”) for impairment testing purposes.

• Bonus disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller service stations and major consumers are recognized as distribution rights when paid and amortized using the straight-line method according to the term of the agreement.

• Other intangible assets acquired from third parties, such as software, technology and commercial property rights, are measured at the total acquisition cost and amortized using straight-line method, for the periods mentioned in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements, taking into account their useful life, which is reviewed annually.

88

We have not recognized intangible assets that were created internally. We and our subsidiaries have not recognized intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, except for goodwill and the “am/pm” brand, acquired in 2012.

Impairment of assets. We review, at least annually, the existence of indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication, we estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. Assets that cannot be evaluated individually are grouped in the smallest group of assets that generate cash flow from continuous use and that are largely independent of cash flows of other assets (CGU). The recoverable amount of assets or CGUs corresponds to the greater of their fair value net of applicable direct selling costs and their value in use.

The fair value less costs of disposal is determined by the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, net of costs of removing the asset, direct incremental costs to bring an asset into condition for its sale, legal costs and taxes.

To assess the value in use, we consider the projections of future cash flows, trends and outlooks, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Such cash flows are discounted to their present values using the discount rate before tax that reflects market conditions for the period of impairment testing and the specific risks of the asset or CGU being evaluated. In cases where the expected discounted future cash flows are less than their carrying amount, the impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of these assets. Losses for impairment of assets are recognized in profit or loss. In case goodwill has been allocated to a CGU, the recognized losses are first allocated to reduce the corresponding goodwill. If the goodwill is not enough to absorb such losses, the surplus is allocated to the assets on a pro-rata basis. An impairment of goodwill cannot be reversed. For other assets, impairment losses may be reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if the impairment had not been recognized.

We tested the balances of goodwill shown in the table of Note 13 for impairment. The determination of value in use involves assumptions, judgments and estimates of cash flows, such as growth rates of revenues, costs and expenses, estimates of investments and working capital and discount rates. The assumptions about growth projections and future cash flows are based on our business plan, as well as comparable market data, and represent management’s best estimate of the economic conditions that will exist over the economic life of the various CGUs, to which goodwill is related.

The evaluation of the value in use is calculated for a period of five years, after which we calculate the perpetuity, considering the possibility of carrying the business on indefinitely.

On December 31, 2013, the discount and real growth rates used to extrapolate the projections ranged from 11.3% to 24.9% and 0% to 5.0% p.a., respectively, depending on the CGU analyzed.

Our goodwill impairment tests did not result in the recognition of losses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Provisions for assets retirement obligations – fuel tanks. We make provisions for assets retirement obligations that correspond to the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded service stations after a certain period. The estimated cost of the obligation to remove these fuel tanks is recognized as a liability when tanks are installed. The estimated cost is recognized in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the respective useful life of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are monetarily restated until the respective tank is removed. An increase in the estimated cost of the obligation to remove the tanks could result in negative impact in future results. The estimated removal cost is reviewed and updated annually or when there is significant change in its amount. For further detail on provisions for assets retirement obligations of Ipiranga, see Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements.

89

Fair value of financial instruments. In accordance with IAS 32, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, our financial instruments are classified as follows:

• Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets and liabilities held for trading, that is, acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, and derivatives. The balances are stated at fair value. The interest earned, the exchange variation and changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

• Held to maturity: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, and fixed maturities for which the entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. The interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned, using the effective interest rate method.

• Available for sale: non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or that are not classified into other categories at initial recognition. The balances are stated at fair value and the interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss. Differences between fair value and acquisition cost plus the interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in other comprehensive income in the shareholders’ equity. Accumulated gains and losses recognized in the shareholders’ equity are reclassified to profit or loss in case of prepayment.

• Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments or receipts, not quoted in an active market, except: (i) those which the entity intends to sell immediately or in the near term and which the entity classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) those classified as available for sale; or (iii) those for which the company may not recover substantially all of its initial investment for reasons other than credit deterioration. The interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss. The balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interests, using the effective interest rate method. Loans and receivables include cash and banks, trade receivables, dividends receivable and other trade receivables.

The company uses derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes, applying the concepts described below:

• Hedge accounting - fair value hedge: derivative financial instrument used to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of an item, attributable to a particular risk, which can affect the entity’s profit or loss. In the initial designation of the fair value hedge, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item is documented, including the objectives of risk management, the strategy in conducting the transaction and the methods to be used to evaluate its effectiveness. Once the fair value hedge has been qualified as effective, the hedge item is also measured at fair value. Gains and losses from hedge instruments and hedge items are recognized in profit or loss. The hedge accounting must be discontinued when the hedge becomes ineffective.

• Hedge accounting - hedge of net investments in foreign operation: derivative financial instrument used to hedge exposure on net investments in foreign subsidiaries due to the fact that the local functional currency is different from the functional currency of the company. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be effective is recognized directly in equity in accumulated other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive income shall be recognized in income upon disposal of the foreign operation.

The fair value of financial instruments, including currency and interest hedging instruments, was determined as follows:

• The fair values of cash and bank deposits balances are identical to their carrying values.

• Financial investments in investment funds are valued at the value of the fund unit as of the date of the reporting period, which corresponds to their fair value.

• Financial investments in CDBs (Bank Certificates of Deposit) and similar investments offer daily liquidity through repurchase at the “yield curve” and, therefore, the company believes their fair value corresponds to their carrying value.

• The fair value calculation of LPG International’s notes in the foreign market (see Note 14.b to our consolidated financial statements) is based on the quoted prices in an active market.

The fair value of other financial investments and financings was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used for marking-to-market, which consist of calculating future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted and adjusting them to present value at the market rates as of December 31, 2013. For some cases where there is no active market for the financial instrument, the company can use quotes provided by the transaction counterparties.

90

The interpretation of market information on the choice of calculation methodologies for the fair value requires considerable judgment and estimates to obtain a value deemed appropriate to each situation. Consequently, the estimates presented do not necessary indicate the amounts that may be realized in the current market.

For further detail on financial instruments of the company, see Notes 4, 14 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Post-employment benefits. We recognized a provision for post-employment benefits mainly related to seniority bonus, payment of FGTS, and health, dental care and life insurance plan for eligible retirees. The amounts related to such benefits were determined based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary and are recognized in the financial statements in accordance with IAS 19 (Revised 2011).

Significant actuarial assumptions adopted include:

Economic factors

	12/31/2013
	% p.a.
Discount rate for the actuarial obligation at present value		11.79
Average projected salary growth rate		7.10
Inflation rate (long term)		5.0
Growth rate of medical services		9.20

Demographic factors

• Mortality Table for the life insurance benefit - CSO-80

• Mortality Table for other benefits - AT 2000 Basic decreased by 10%

• Disabled Mortality Table - RRB 1983

• Disability Table - RRB 1944 modified

For further information on our post-employment benefits, see Note 24.b) to our consolidated financial statements.

Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information

The financial information presented below has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Ultrapar’s financial information is presented on a consolidated basis. Financial information relating to Ultragaz, Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo is presented on an individual basis and does not reflect elimination of intercompany transactions. Accordingly, the sum of individual financial information of Ultrapar’s subsidiaries may not correspond to the consolidated financial information of Ultrapar.

From 2013 onwards, the adoption of IFRS 11 and IAS (International Accounting Standard) 19 became mandatory in the presentation of financial statements, resulting in the following changes: (i) results from joint ventures are no longer proportionally consolidated and will be recognized through the equity method and (ii) actuarial gains and losses from post-employment benefits cease to affect the operating results and start to be recognized under shareholders’ equity, and past service costs are recognized in retained earnings within shareholders’ equity in the date of transition.

In order to provide comparability of financial statements with periods prior to the adoption of the aforementioned accounting changes, the figures presented in this document relating to 2011 and 2012 have been restated in accordance with IFRS 11 and IAS 19. EBITDA according to IFRS 11 and IAS 19 and net income according to IAS 19 differ from EBITDA and net income previously reported by the company.

Net revenue from sales and services. Ultrapar’s net revenue from sales and services increased 13%, from R$53,868.9 million in 2012 to R$60,940 million in 2013, mainly as a result of the increased sales volume in all businesses. Ultrapar’s net revenue from sales and services generally includes revenues from fuel and gas sales by Ultragaz and Ipiranga, respectively, specialty chemicals sales by Oxiteno and liquid bulk storage services provided by Ultracargo, reduced by sales taxes such as ICMS, PIS and Cofins and by discounts and sales returns.

The following table shows the change in net revenue from sales and services for each of our businesses:

(R$ million)	2013		2012		Percent change 2013-2012
Ipiranga		53,384.1		46,829.4		14	%
Oxiteno		3,277.8		2,928.8		12	%
Ultracargo		332.1		293.6		13	%
Ultragaz		3,982.3		3,847.1		4	%

Ipiranga’s net revenue from sales and services increased by 14%, from R$46,829.4 million in 2012 to R$53,384.1 million in 2013, mainly due to (i) 6% higher sales volume, (ii) the 5.4%, 5.0% and 8.0% increases of diesel prices in January, March and November 2013, respectively, and the 6.6% and 4.0% increase on gasoline refinery prices in January and November 2013, respectively, charged by Petrobras, coupled with an increase of ethanol costs, and (iii) improved sales mix, resulting from investments in the service station network expansion, which enabled a higher share of fuels for light vehicles and diesel sold through the reseller segment (sales in service stations), which represented 73% of Ipiranga’s sales volume in 2013 compared to 71% in 2012. Ipiranga’s sales volume in 2013 grew by 6%, from 23,364 thousand cubic meters in 2012 to 24,758 thousand cubic meters in 2013. Sales volume of gasoline, ethanol and natural gas for vehicles increased by 9% in relation to 2012, mainly as a result of an estimated 7% growth of the light vehicles fleet and strong investments in new service stations and in the conversion of unbranded service stations. Diesel volumes, in turn, grew by 4% mainly as a result of the 7% growth in the volume sold in the reseller segment, derived from investments made in expanding the service station network and, to a lesser extent, the growth of the economy.

Oxiteno’s net revenue from sales and services increased by 12%, from R$2,928.8 million in 2012 to R$3,277.8 million in 2013, as a result of (i) a 10% depreciation of the average Real against the U.S. dollar in 2013, due to the fact that Oxiteno’s sales are highly influenced by the foreign exchange rate, increasing Oxiteno’s net revenue in Reais, and (ii) a 2% growth in sales volume, from 761 thousand tons in 2012 to 776 thousand tons in 2013, with an increased share of specialties and the decreased share of glycols in Oxiteno’s sales mix, thus resulting in a richer sales mix. Sales volume of specialty chemicals increased by 8%, from 638 thousand tons in 2012 to 687 thousand tons in 2013 resulting from investments to expand production capacity over the last years coupled with the growth of segments served by Oxiteno in Brazil, in particular cosmetics, detergents, agrochemicals and coatings, and from the acquisition of the specialty chemicals plant in Uruguay in November 2012.

Ultracargo’s net revenue from sales and services increased by 13%, from R$293.6 million in 2012 to R$332.1 million in 2013, mainly due to the increased average storage in its liquid bulk terminals. Average storage grew by 13% compared with 2012, driven by the acquisition of a terminal in the port of Itaqui, in August 2012, and by the increased product handling at the Suape, Aratu and Santos terminals, which was enabled by the investments carried out over the last years.

93

Ultragaz’s net revenue from sales and services increased by 4%, from R$3,847.1 million in 2012 to R$3,982.3 million in 2013, mainly as a result of a 3% increase in sales volume in the bulk segment, as a consequence of investments made to capture new customers, especially in the residential segment and in small- and medium-sized companies. Total sales volume grew 1%, from 1,681.2 thousand tons in 2012 to 1,696.3 thousand tons in 2013.

Cost of products and services sold. Ultrapar’s cost of products and services sold increased by 14%, from R$49,768.1 million in 2012 to R$56,165.4 million in 2013, as a result of the increased sales volume of all businesses and unit costs of products. Our main costs of products and services sold are related to the purchase of raw materials, including diesel, gasoline and ethanol for Ipiranga, ethylene for Oxiteno and LPG for Ultragaz, and depreciation and amortization.

The following table shows the change in cost of products and services sold for each of our businesses:

(R$ million)	2013		2012		Percent change 2013-2012
Ipiranga		50,190.2		44,055.2		14	%
Oxiteno		2,479.5		2,312.4		7	%
Ultracargo		133.8		117.4		14	%
Ultragaz		3,398.2		3,313.3		3	%

Ipiranga’s cost of products and services sold increased by 14%, from R$44,055.2 million in 2012 to R$50,190.2 million in 2013, mainly due to the 6% higher sales volume and the cost increases by Petrobras (i) in diesel, in January, March and November 2013, and (ii) in gasoline, in January 2013.

Oxiteno’s cost of products and services sold increased by 7%, from R$2,312.4 million in 2012 to R$2,479.5 million in 2013, mainly due to the 10% depreciation of the average Real against the U.S. dollar, which increased our costs denominated or linked to the U.S. dollars, particularly variable costs associated with raw materials such as the ethylene, coupled with the 2% growth in Oxiteno’s sales volume. The increase in Oxiteno’s cost of product and services sold was partially offset by a 5% reduction in unit variable costs in dollars, calculated as Oxiteno’s variable cost of products and services sold in dollars divided by the volume of products sold.

Ultracargo’s cost of services sold increased by 14%, from R$117.4 million in 2012 to R$133.8 million in 2013, mainly as a result of increased average storage and increased depreciation costs resulting from the capacity expansions and the acquisition of the terminal in Itaqui in August 2012.

Ultragaz’s cost of products and services sold increased by 3%, from R$3,313.3 million in 2012 to R$3,398.2 million in 2013, as a result of increased sales volume, the effects of a 5.9% inflation rate (as measured by the IPCA) on costs, and increased requalification of LPG bottles in 2013. These increases were partially offset by cost reduction initiatives implemented over the year, such as the management of freight contracts and the increased automation in bottling facilities.

Gross profit. Ultrapar’s gross profit increased by 16%, from R$4,100.8 million in 2012 to R$4,774.9 million in 2013, as a result of the increased gross profit in all businesses. Ipiranga’s gross profit increased by 15%, from R$2,774.2 million in 2012 to R$3,194.0 million in 2013. Oxiteno’s gross profit increased by 30%, from R$616.4 million in 2012 to R$798.3 million in 2013. Ultracargo’s gross profit increased by 13%, from R$176.2 million in 2012 to R$198.3 million in 2013. Ultragaz’s gross profit increased by 9% from R$533.8 million in 2012 to R$584.1 million in 2013.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses. Ultrapar’s selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) generally include personnel expenses delivery, freight and depreciation and amortization. Ultrapar’s SG&A increased by 12%, from R$2,470.7 million in 2012 to R$2,768.7 million in 2013.

94

The following table shows the change in SG&A for each of our businesses:

(R$ million)	2013		2012		Percent change 2013-2012
Ipiranga		1,759.5		1,613.3		9	%
Oxiteno		486.9		387.0		26	%
Ultracargo		94.5		74.6		27	%
Ultragaz		432.4		409.6		6	%

Ipiranga’s SG&A increased by 9%, from R$1,613.3 million in 2012 to R$1,759.5 million in 2013, mainly resulting from (i) increased expenses with freight, mainly derived from Ipiranga’s 6% higher sales volume coupled with increased diesel costs and inflation, (ii) the expansion of its distribution network, and (iii) the effects of inflation on personnel expenses.

Oxiteno’s SG&A increased by 26%, from R$387.0 million in 2012 to R$486.9 million in 2013, due to (i) increased logistics expenses, resulting from the rises in diesel costs and the effect of the weaker Real, which adversely affected Oxiteno’s SG&A expenses denominated in U.S. dollars, particularly expenses related to international freight and its plants located outside Brazil, (ii) the acquisition of specialty chemicals plants in Uruguay and in the United States in November 2012 and April 2012, respectively, (iii) an increase in variable compensation, in line with our increased results, and (iv) the effects of inflation on expenses.

Ultracargo’s SG&A increased by 27%, from R$74.6 million in 2012 to R$94.5 million in 2013, mainly as a result of the acquisition of the terminal in the port of Itaqui in July 2012, increased expenses with projects and the effects of inflation on expenses.

Ultragaz’s SG&A increased by 6%, from to R$409.6 million in 2012 to R$432.4 million in 2013, mainly due to the effects of inflation on personnel expenses and freight, which were partially offset by expense reduction initiatives implemented over the year.

Other operating income, net. Other operating income, net is mainly composed of merchandising fees from Ipiranga’s suppliers. Ultrapar’s other operating income, net increased from R$74.1 million in 2012 to R$97.6 million in 2013, mainly as a result of the expansion in Ipiranga’s operations.

Income from disposal of assets. Ultrapar’s income from disposal of assets increased from R$3.7 million in 2012 to R$40.3 million in 2013, mainly due to sale of part of a logistics facility of Ipiranga.

Operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint ventures and associates. Ultrapar’s operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint ventures and associates increased by 26%, from R$1,707.9 million in 2012 to R$2,144.0 million in 2013, as a result of the increased operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint ventures and associates in all businesses. Ipiranga’s operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint ventures and associates increased by 26%, from R$1,254.4 million in 2012 to R$1,574.7 million in 2013. Oxiteno’s operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of associates increased 35%, from R$228.8 million in 2012 to R$308.6 million in 2013. Ultracargo’s operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint ventures and associates increased by 3%, from R$105.5 million in 2012 to R$108.9 million in 2013. Ultragaz’s operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of associates increased by 29%, from R$114.3 million in 2012 to R$147.0 million in 2013.

Net financial expenses. Net financial expenses include mainly income and expenses from (i) interest on financial investments and financings and (ii) exchange rate variation. Ultrapar’s net financial expenses increased by 25%, from R$270.3 million in 2012 to R$337.6 million in 2013, mainly due to a 11% increase in its net debt and effects of the exchange rate over the year. Ultrapar’s net debt to EBITDA ratio was 1.2 at the end of 2013, compared with 1.3 at the end of 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, Ultrapar’s gross debt was R$6,969.6 million (of which R$1,294.9 million was denominated in foreign currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar) and its net debt was R$3,425.9 million, compared to gross debt of R$6,215.9 million (of which R$1,197.5 million was denominated in foreign currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar) and net debt of R$3,084.0 million in 2012. See footnote 8 under “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Data” for a more complete discussion of net debt and its reconciliation to information in our financial statements, as well as Notes 4, 14 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Income and social contribution taxes. Ultrapar’s income and social contribution taxes, net of benefits from income tax exemptions, increased by 36%, from R$421.3 million in 2012 to R$572.7 million in 2013, mainly as a result of an increase in pre-tax income due to the increase in Ultrapar’s operating income.

95

Net income for the year. Ultrapar’s net income for the year increased by 20%, from R$1,026.8 million in 2012 to R$1,228.7 million in 2013, as a result of the growth in operating income. Net income attributable to Ultrapar’s shareholders increased 20%, from R$1,019.9 million in 2012 to R$1,225.1 million in 2013.

EBITDA. Ultrapar’s EBITDA increased 21%, from R$2,411.4 million in 2012 to R$2,918.0 million in 2013, as a result of EBITDA growth in all businesses.

The following table shows the change in EBITDA for each of our businesses:

(R$ million)	2013		2012		Percent change 2013-2012
Ipiranga		2,029.6		1,652.6		23	%
Oxiteno		440.6		351.8		25	%
Ultracargo		157.5		142.7		10	%
Ultragaz		280.5		245.7		14	%

Ipiranga’s EBITDA increased by 23% from R$1,652.6 million in 2012 to R$2,029.6 million in 2013, mainly due to (i) investments in the resellers’ network expansion resulting in increased sales volume in the reseller segment (sales in service stations), (ii) the strategy of constant innovation in services and convenience in the service station, (iii) initiatives for reducing the grey market in the ethanol segment, and (iv) the inventory effects resulting from the increases in ethanol, diesel and gasoline costs, effects that were partially offset by higher expenses, mainly with freight.

Oxiteno’s EBITDA increased by 25% from R$351.8 million in 2012 to R$440.6 million in 2013, as a result of (i) the effect of the 10% weaker Real, (ii) a richer sales mix in 2013, with increased share of specialty chemicals, and (iii) the 2% growth in sales volume, effects that were partially offset by higher costs expenses related to the startup of the company’s operations in the United States and in Uruguay. Oxiteno’s unit EBITDA reached US$263/ton in 2013, compared to a unit EBITDA of US$236/ton in 2012.

Ultracargo’s EBITDA increased by 10%, from R$142.7 million in 2012 to R$157.5 million in 2013, mainly due to the acquisition of the terminal in Itaqui and higher average storage.

Ultragaz’s EBITDA increased by 14% from R$245.7 million in 2012 to R$280.5 million in 2013, mainly due to the costs and expenses reduction initiatives implemented over the year.

(2) See footnote 2 under “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Data.”

Net revenue from sales and services. Ultrapar’s net revenue from sales and services increased 11%, from R$48,628.7 million in 2011 to R$53,868.9 million in 2012, mainly as a result of the increased sales volume in all businesses.

The following table shows the change in net revenue from sales and services for each of our businesses:

(R$ million)	2012		2011		Percent change 2012-2011
Ipiranga		46,829.4		42,221.6		11	%
Oxiteno		2,928.8		2,408.6		22	%
Ultracargo		293.6		259.9		13	%
Ultragaz		3,847.1		3,766.8		2	%

Ipiranga’s net revenue from sales and services increased by 11%, from R$42,221.6 million in 2011 to R$46,829.4 million in 2012, mainly due to (i) 8% higher sales volume, (ii) the 6% increase of diesel refinery prices charged by Petrobras in July 2012 and (iii) the improved sales mix, with an increased share of gasoline. Sales volumes grew by 8%, from 21,701 thousand cubic meters in 2011 to 23,364 thousand cubic meters in 2012. Sales volumes of gasoline, ethanol and NGV grew by 10%, as a result of an estimated 8% growth in the light vehicle fleet and investments made to expand its distribution network. Diesel volumes, in turn, grew by 7% as a result of investments made to capture new clients and, to a lesser extent, the growth of the Brazilian economy, particularly in the consumer goods and agricultural sectors.

97

Oxiteno’s net revenue from sales and services increased by 22%, from R$2,408.6 million in 2011 to R$2,928.8 million in 2012, mainly due to the 15% growth in sales volume and a 17% weaker average Real, partially offset by the 10% lower average U.S. dollar price of Oxiteno’s products, mainly as result of the increased share of glycols, with declining prices, in Oxiteno’s sales mix. Total sales volume grew by 15%, from 660 thousand tons in 2011 to 761 thousand tons in 2012, as a result of (i) investments to expand production capacity, completed in September 2011, (ii) the growth of segments served by Oxiteno in Brazil, in particular cosmetics and detergents, agrochemicals and coatings, and (iii) the increased volume of exports.

Ultracargo’s net revenue from sales and services increased by 13%, from R$259.9 million in 2011 to R$293.6 million in 2012, mainly due to the growth in average storage in its liquid bulk terminals and the improved mix of handled products and contracts. Average storage volume increased by 5%, from 582 thousand cubic meters in 2011 to 614 thousand cubic meters in 2012, mainly due to the acquisition of the terminal in Itaqui, in August 2012, and by increased volumes of ethanol handled at the Santos terminal. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company.”

Ultragaz’s net revenue from sales and services increased by 2%, from R$3,766.8 million in 2011 to R$3,847.1 million in 2012, as a result of 2% higher sales volume from 1,652.2 thousand tons in 2011 to 1,681.2 thousand tons in 2012. Such increase was a result of a 6% increase in sales volume in the bulk segment, as a consequence of the acquisition of Repsol in October 2011, which exclusively operated in this segment, and the investments to capture new clients.

Cost of products and services sold. Ultrapar’s cost of products and services sold increased by 10%, from R$45,124.3 million in 2011 to R$49,768.1 million in 2012, mainly as a result of the increased sales volume of all businesses and unit costs of products.

The following table shows the change in cost of products and services sold for each of our businesses:

(R$ million)	2012		2011		Percent change 2012-2011
Ipiranga		44,055.2		39,897.9		10	%
Oxiteno		2,312.4		1,931.0		20	%
Ultracargo		117.4		110.1		7	%
Ultragaz		3,313.3		3,213.5		3	%

Ipiranga’s cost of products and services sold increased by 10%, from R$39,897.9 million in 2011 to R$44,055.2 million in 2012, mainly due to (i) the 8% higher sales volume, (ii) the 6% increase in diesel refinery prices charged by Petrobras in July 2012, and (iii) the increased share of gasoline in the sales mix, which has higher unit costs compared to other fuel such as diesel.

Oxiteno’s cost of products and services sold increased by 20%, from R$1,931.0 million in 2011 to R$2,312.4 million in 2012, mainly due to the 15% growth in sales volume and the 17% weaker average Real, partially offset by a 10% reduction in unit variable costs in U.S. dollars, calculated as Oxiteno’s variable cost of products and services sold divided by the volume of products sold.

Ultracargo’s cost of services sold increased by 7%, from R$110.1 million in 2011 to R$117.4 million in 2012, mainly due to higher depreciation costs resulting from recent capacity expansions and the acquisition of Temmar.

Ultragaz’s cost of products and services sold increased by 3%, from R$3,213.5 million in 2011 to R$3,313.3 million in 2012, due to the 2% higher sales volume and the effects of inflation on personnel and on freight costs, partially offset by cost reduction initiatives in bottling and storage facilities.

Gross profit. Ultrapar’s gross profit increased by 17%, from R$3,504.5 million in 2011 to R$4,100.8 million in 2012, as a result of the increased gross profit in Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo. Ipiranga’s gross profit increased by 19%, from R$2,323.7 million in 2011 to R$2,774.2 million in 2012. Oxiteno’s gross profit increased by 29%, from R$477.6 million in 2011 to R$616.4 million in 2012. Ultracargo’s gross profit increased by 18%, from R$149.7 million in 2011 to R$176.2 million in 2012. Ultragaz’s gross profit decreased by 4% from R$553.2 million in 2011 to R$533.8 million in 2012.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses. Ultrapar’s selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) generally include personnel expenses, freight and depreciation and amortization. Ultrapar’s SG&A increased by 16%, from R$2,122.3 million in 2011 to R$2,470.7 million in 2012.

98

The following table shows the change in SG&A for each of our businesses:

(R$ million)	2012		2011		Percent change 2012-2011
Ipiranga		1,613.3		1,357.4		19	%
Oxiteno		387.0		318.7		21	%
Ultracargo		74.6		65.6		14	%
Ultragaz		409.6		387.0		6	%

Ipiranga’s SG&A increased by 19%, from R$1,357.4 million in 2011 to R$1,613.3 million in 2012, as a result of (i) the impact of 8% higher sales volume in freight and other variable expenses, (ii) the effects of inflation on expenses, (iii) the expansion of its distribution network, and (iv) increased advertising and marketing expenses.

Oxiteno’s SG&A increased by 21%, from R$318.7 million in 2011 to R$387.0 million in 2012, mainly due to (i) higher logistics expenses, resulting from increased sales volume and the effect of exchange rate on international freight expenses, (ii) the effects of inflation on expenses, and (iii) expenses related to the expansion projects in the United States and Uruguay.

Ultracargo’s SG&A increased by 14%, from R$65.6 million in 2011 to R$74.6 million in 2012, mainly as a result of higher expenses related to expansion projects and the acquisition of the terminal in Itaqui.

Ultragaz’s SG&A increased by 6%, from to R$387.0 million in 2011 to R$409.6 million in 2012, mainly due to (i) the effects of inflation on personnel expenses, (ii) higher expenses with marketing and sales campaigns, and (iii) the impact of the 2% higher sales volume in freight and other variable expenses, partially offset by expense reduction initiatives.

Other operating income, net. Other operating income, net is mainly composed of merchandising fees from Ipiranga’s suppliers. Ultrapar’s other operating income, net increased from R$52.2 million in 2011 to R$74.1 million in 2012, mainly as a result of the expansion in Ipiranga’s operations.

Income from disposal of assets. Ultrapar’s income from disposal of assets decreased from R$21.4 million in 2011 to R$3.7 million in 2012, mainly due to lower income from the sale of land by Ipiranga and of vehicles by Ultragaz.

Operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint ventures and associates. Ultrapar’s operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint ventures and associates increased by 17%, from R$1,455.7 million in 2011 to R$1,707.9 million in 2012, as a result of the increased operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint ventures and associates in Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo. Ipiranga’s operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint ventures and associates increased by 20%, from R$1,042.4 million in 2011 to R$1,254.4 million in 2012. Oxiteno’s operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of associates increased 47%, from R$156.0 million in 2011 to R$228.8 million in 2012. Ultracargo’s operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint ventures and associates increased by 21%, from R$87.4 million in 2011 to R$105.5 million in 2012. Ultragaz’s operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of associates decreased by 30%, from R$163.4 million in 2011 to R$114.3 million in 2012.

Net financial expenses. Net financial expenses include mainly income and expenses from (i) interest on financial investments and financings and (ii) exchange rate variation. Ultrapar’s net financial expenses decreased 12%, from R$307.6 million in 2011 to R$270.3 million in 2012, mainly due to the reduction of interest rates (CDI) in 2012. Ultrapar’s net debt to EBITDA ratio was 1.3 at the end of 2012, compared with 1.4 at the end of 2011.

As of December 31, 2012, Ultrapar’s gross debt was R$6,215.9 million and its net debt was R$3,084.0 million, R$201.2 million higher than that of December 31, 2011. See footnote 8 under “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Data” for a more complete discussion of net debt and its reconciliation to information in our financial statements, as well as Notes 4, 14 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Income and social contribution taxes. Ultrapar’s income and social contribution taxes, net of benefits from income tax exemption, increased by 40%, from R$301.7 million in 2011 to R$421.3 million in 2012, mainly as a result of an increase in pre-tax income due to the increase in Ultrapar’s operating income.

99

Net income for the year. Ultrapar’s net income for the year increased by 19%, from R$860.3 million in 2011 to R$1,026.8 million in 2012, as a result of the growth in operating income, partially offset by the lower income from sale of assets. Net income attributable to Ultrapar’s shareholders increased 19%, from R$854.3 million in 2011 to R$1,019.9 million in 2012.

EBITDA. Ultrapar’s EBITDA increased 18%, from R$2,047.5 million in 2011 to R$2,411.4 million in 2012, as a result of EBITDA growth in Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo.

The following table shows the change in EBITDA for each of our businesses:

(R$ million)	2012		2011		Percent change 2012-2011
Ipiranga		1,652.6		1,366.4		21	%
Oxiteno		351.8		262.3		34	%
Ultracargo		142.7		116.8		22	%
Ultragaz		245.7		280.9		-13	%

Ipiranga’s EBITDA increased by 21% from R$1,366.4 million in 2011 to R$1,652.6 million in 2012, mainly due to (i) 8% higher sales volume, (ii) improved sales mix, with a higher share of gasoline, and (iii) the strategy of constant innovation in services and convenience at the service station, creating increased customer satisfaction and loyalty. Ipiranga’s unit EBITDA margin in 2012 was R$71/m³, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 3.5%, higher than the unit EBITDA margin of R$63/m³ in 2011.

Oxiteno’s EBITDA increased by 34% from R$262.3 million in 2011 to R$351.8 million in 2012, as a result of (i) the 15% growth in sales volume, and (ii) the effect of the 17% weaker average Real. Oxiteno’s unit EBITDA reached US$236/ton in 2012, in line with that of 2011.

Ultracargo’s EBITDA increased by 22%, from R$116.8 million in 2011 to R$142.7 million in 2012, mainly due to the acquisition of the terminal in Itaqui, higher average storage, and the improved mix of handled products and contracts.

Ultragaz’s EBITDA decreased by 13% from R$280.9 million in 2011 to R$245.7 million in 2012, mainly due to the effects of inflation on costs and expenses and higher expenses with marketing and sales campaigns, partially offset by costs and expenses reduction initiatives.

For a reconciliation of our EBITDA and the EBITDA of Ultragaz, Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo to information in our financial statements, see footnote 7 under “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Data.”

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity derive from (i) cash, cash equivalents and financial investments, (ii) cash generated from operations and (iii) financings. We believe that these sources are sufficient to satisfy our current funding requirements, which include, but are not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, amortization of debt and payment of dividends.

Periodically, we assess the opportunities for acquisitions and investments. We consider different types of investments, either directly or through joint ventures, or associated companies, and we finance such investments using cash generated from our operations, debt financing, through capital increases or through a combination of these methods.

Sources and uses of funds. We generated cash flow from operations of R$2,120.7 million, R$ 2,443.7 million and R$1,673.7 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2013, our cash flow from operations was R$323.0 million lower than that in 2012, mainly due to higher investment in working capital, which increased by R$363.2 million in 2013, mainly as a result of higher inventory levels and lower trade payables due to the reduction of the term required to pay Petrobras under our main supply agreements. In 2012, our cash flow from operations increased by R$770.0 million compared to 2011, mainly as a result of the growth in our operations and lower investment in working capital, mainly due to the reduction in inventory. Cash flow used in investing activities was R$1,287.9 million, R$1,565.0 million and R$1,445.2 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2013, Ultrapar

100

continued its strategy of value creation and investments to increase operating scale and productivity gains in its businesses. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, we invested R$1,101.5 million, R$1,282.7 million and R$961.2 million in additions to property, plant, equipment and intangible assets, net of disposals. In 2012, Ipiranga and Odebrecht TransPort Participações formed a joint venture to operate in the segment of electronic payment for tolls, parking and fuels — ConectCar. The equity investments made by Ultrapar in ConectCar amounted to R$24.9 million and R$4.1 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2012, Ultrapar, through its subsidiary Oxiteno S.A., acquired 100% of the shares of American Chemical for R$107.4 million, in addition to the assumption of R$32.7 million in net debt. Also in 2012, Ultrapar, through its subsidiary Tequimar, acquired 100% of the shares of Temmar, in the port of Itaqui, for R$68.2 million, in addition to the assumption of R$91.2 million in net debt. Tequimar will disburse a minimum extra value of R$12 million, which may reach approximately R$30 million as a result of possible future expansions in the storage capacity of the terminal, provided that such expansions are implemented within the 7–year period after the acquisition, amounts that will be update by the IGP-M. In 2011, Ultrapar acquired, through its subsidiary Cia Ultragaz, 100% of Repsol’s shares for the total amount of R$49.8 million, and disbursed R$26.6 million related to the final payment of the DNP acquisition. Cash flows used in financing activities totaled R$ 578.9 million, R$622.7 million and R$1,093.7 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2013, cash flows used in financing activities decreased by R$43.8 million compared to 2012, mainly as a result of a R$1,677.2 million decrease in the amortization of financing and debentures, which was partially offset by a R$1,307.8 million decrease in the volume of new loans and debentures obtained from third parties and by higher interest and dividends paid in 2013 compared to 2012. In 2012, cash flows used in financing activities decreased by R$471.1 million, mainly as a result of the issuance of R$800 million and R$600 million debentures in March and November 2012, in order to strengthen the Company’s cash position and extend its debt profile, partially offset by increased amortization of financing and debentures. In 2011, the increase in cash flows used in financing activities reflected the higher volume of new loans in 2010. Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents totaled R$2,276.1 million in 2013, R$2,021.1 million in 2012 and R$1,765.5 million in 2011.

We believe we have sufficient working capital to meet our current needs. In addition to the cash flow generated from operations explained above, we had R$3,425.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2013. The gross indebtedness due from January 1 to December 31, 2014 totaled R$2,056.9 million, including estimated interest payments on loans, as of December 31, 2013. Furthermore, we estimate investments of R$1,484.1 in 2014.

We anticipate that we will spend approximately R$10.4 billion in the next five years to meet long-term contractual obligations described in the Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations and for the 2014 budgeted capital expenditures. We expect to meet these cash requirements through a combination of cash generated from operating activities and cash generated by financing activities, including new debt financing and the refinancing of some of our indebtedness as it becomes due.

The company uses exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the Brazilian Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect its assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency and net investments in foreign operations, in order to reduce the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on its results and cash flows in Brazilian Reais within the exposure limits under its policy. For additional information regarding our funding and treasury policies see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Some subsidiaries issued collateral to financial institutions in connection with the amounts owed by some of their customers to such institutions (vendor financing). If a subsidiary is required to make any payment under this collateral, this subsidiary may recover the amount paid directly from its customers through commercial collection. The maximum amount of future payments related to this collateral is R$14.3 million as of December 31, 2013 with maturities of less than 214 days. As of December 31, 2013, Ultrapar did not have losses in connection with this collateral. The fair value of collaterals recognized in current liabilities as other payables was R$0.3 million as of December 31, 2013, which is recognized as profit or loss as customers settle their obligations with the financial institutions.

Some financing agreements of the company contain cross default clauses whereby we are required to pay the debt assumed in case of default of other debts equal to or greater than US$15 million. As of December 31, 2013, there was no event of default on such debts.

Notes in the foreign market

In December 2005, the subsidiary LPG International issued US$250 million in notes in the foreign market, maturing in December 2015, with interest rate of 7.3% p.a., paid semiannually. The notes were guaranteed by Ultrapar and Oxiteno.

As a result of the issuance of these notes, the company is required to undertake certain obligations, including:

• Limitation on transactions with shareholders that hold 5% or more of any class of stock of the company, except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable than could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a third party.

• Required board approval for transactions with shareholders that hold 5% or more of any class of stock of the company, or with their subsidiaries, in an amount higher than US$15 million (except transactions of the company with its subsidiaries and between its subsidiaries).

• Restriction on the sale of all or substantially all assets of the company and subsidiaries LPG International and Oxiteno.

• Restriction on encumbrance of assets exceeding US$150 million or 15% of the value of the consolidated tangible assets.

The company is in compliance with the levels of covenants required by these loans. The restrictions imposed on the company are customary in transactions of this kind and have not limited their ability to conduct their business to date.

Foreign loan

In November 2012 the subsidiary IPP contracted a foreign loan in the amount of US$80 million, with maturity in November 2015 and interest rate equivalent to LIBOR + 0.8% p.a., paid quarterly. IPP also contracted hedging instruments for floating interest rate in U.S. dollar and exchange rate variation, changing the foreign loan charge to 104.1% of CDI (see Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements). IPP designated these hedging instruments as a fair value hedge; therefore, loan and hedging instruments are both measured at fair value from inception, with changes in fair value recognized through profit or loss. The foreign loan is guaranteed by Ultrapar.

The subsidiary Oxiteno Overseas has a foreign loan in the amount of US$60 million with maturity in June 2014 and interest rate of LIBOR + 1.0% p.a., paid semiannually. Ultrapar, through its subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz, contracted hedging instruments with floating interest rate in U.S. dollar and exchange rate variation, changing the foreign loan charge to 86.9% of CDI (see Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements). The foreign loan is guaranteed by Ultrapar and its subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. See “Item 11. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk”. In January 2014, Oxiteno Overseas renegotiated this foreign loan, changing the maturity to January 2017. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Recent Developments”.

103

As a result of these foreign loans, some obligations applicable to the notes in the foreign market must also be maintained by Ultrapar. Additionally, during these contracts, Ultrapar shall maintain the following financial ratios, calculated based on its audited consolidated financial statements:

• Maintenance of a financial ratio, determined by the ratio between consolidated net debt and consolidated EBITDA, at less than or equal to 3.5; and

• Maintenance of a financial ratio determined by the ratio between consolidated EBITDA and consolidated net financial expenses, higher than or equal to 1.5.

The company is in compliance with the levels of covenants required by these loans. The restrictions imposed on Ultrapar and its subsidiaries are usual for this type of transactions and have not limited their ability to conduct their business to date.

Debentures

In December 2012, the subsidiary IPP made its first public issuance of debentures in single series of 60,000 simple, nonconvertible into shares, unsecured, nominative and registered debentures, and its main characteristics are as follows:

Face value unit:	R$10,000.00
Final maturity:	November 16, 2017
Payment of the face value:	Lump sum at final maturity
Interest:	107.9% of CDI
Payment of interest:	Semiannually
Reprice:	Not applicable

The proceeds of the issuance were used to manage liquidity of the issuer, in order to strengthen its cash and extend its debt profile, providing greater financial flexibility.

In March 2012, Ultrapar carried out its fourth issuance of debentures, in a single series of 800 simple, nonconvertible into shares, unsecured debentures, and its main characteristics are as follows:

Face value unit:	R$1,000,000.00

The proceeds of the issuance were used for the partial early redemption of 800 debentures, in March 2012, of Ultrapar’s third issuance of debentures.

In January 2014, the subsidiary IPP made its second issuance of public debentures. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Recent Developments” and “Item 10.C. Additional Information — Material Contracts — Debentures.”

104

BNDES

Ultrapar has financing from BNDES (Brazilian National Development Bank) for some of its investments. As of December 31, 2013, such lines of credit with BNDES totaled R$1.6 billion, of which R$0.3 billion had been drawn down. See “Item 10.C. Additional Information — Material Contracts — BNDES.”

During the term of these agreements, Ultrapar must maintain the following capitalization and current liquidity levels, as determined in the annual consolidated audited balance sheet:

• capitalization level: shareholders’ equity / total assets equal to or above 0.3; and

• current liquidity level: current assets / current liabilities equal to or above 1.3.

We are in compliance with the levels of covenants required by these loans. The restrictions imposed on Ultrapar and its subsidiaries are usual for this type of transactions and have not limited their ability to conduct their business to date.

Financial institutions

The subsidiaries Oxiteno Mexico, Oxiteno Andina, Oxiteno USA LLC and Oxiteno Uruguay have loans to finance investments and working capital.

Banco do Brasil

The subsidiary IPP has fixed and floating interest rate loans from Banco do Brasil S.A. to finance the marketing, processing or manufacturing of agricultural goods (ethanol). IPP contracted interest rate hedging instruments, which modified the effective interest rates for such loans to an average of 99.3% of CDI (see Note 22 of our financial statements). IPP designates these hedging instruments as a fair value hedge; therefore, loans and hedging instruments are both stated at fair value from inception. Changes in fair value are recognized as profit or loss.

These loans mature, as follows (include interest until December 31, 2013):

Maturity	Balance in 2013
	(in millions of Reais)
January, 2014		410.2
March, 2014		252.7
April, 2014		64.4
May, 2014		451.9
February, 2015		368.5
May, 2015		670.0
February, 2016		166.7
May, 2016		100.0
May, 2019		824.1
		3,308.5

During the first semester of 2013, IPP renegotiated loans with original maturities in this period, with principal amounts of (i) R$ 500 million, changing the maturity to February 2015 and February 2016 and (ii) R$300 million, changing the maturity to May 2015 and May 2016, and changing the floating interest rate to 104.3% of CDI.

In the second quarter of 2013, IPP contracted an additional loan in the notional amount of R$800 million, maturing in May 2019 and floating interest rate of 104.0% of CDI.

In January 2014, our subsidiary IPP renegotiated certain of its loans with Banco do Brasil in the principal amount of R$909.5 million, with the effect of extending the maturity of these loans from 2014 to January 2017 and changing the interest rate to a floating interest rate of 105.5% of CDI.

105

Export credit note.

In March 2013, the subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste contracted an export credit note in the amount of R$17.5 million, with maturity in March 2016 and fixed interest rate of 8% per year, paid quarterly.

In August 2013, the subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste contracted an export credit note in the amount of R$10.0 million, with maturity in August 2016 and fixed interest rate of 8% per year, paid quarterly.

Oxiteno Nordeste contracted interest hedging instruments, thus converting the fixed rates for these loans into 88.8% of CDI (see Note 22). Oxiteno Nordeste designated these hedging instruments as a fair value hedge; therefore, loans and hedging instruments are both measured at fair value from inception. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

Resellers typically use these payments to improve their facilities or to invest in working capital. Financing for clients is included under working capital in the cash flow statement and bonuses are included under intangible assets.

(3) Organic investments consist of acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and financing and repayments to resellers, and do not include investments in acquisitions of subsidiaries and interest in other companies neither capital increases in joint ventures and associates.

In 2013, Ultrapar invested R$1,089 million, excluding acquisitions, with a strategy of growing scale and productivity. Ultragaz invested R$151 million in 2013, mainly focused on capturing new clients in the bulk segment, replacement of bottles and maintenance of its bottling facilities. Ipiranga invested R$746 million in 2013, of which (i) R$348 million in the expansion of its distribution network (through the conversion of unbranded service stations, the opening of new gas stations and new customers) and Jet Oil and am/pm franchises, focused on the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil, (ii) R$86 million in expanding its logistics infrastructure to support the growing demand, through the construction and expansion of 10 logistics facilities, and (iii) R$312 million in the maintenance of its operations, mainly in the renewal of contracts of its distribution network and the renovation of service stations. Ipiranga invested R$758 million in property, plant, equipment and intangible assets, partially offset by R$12 million related to repayments of financing to clients, net of loans granted. Oxiteno invested R$139 million in 2013 mainly in ongoing expansion and retrofit projects at our plants located in Pasadena, United States, and in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico, and in the maintenance of their equipment. Ultracargo invested R$37 million in 2013, mainly directed towards modernization and maintenance of terminals.

Ultrapar’s investment plan for 2014, excluding acquisitions, amounts to R$1,484 million, indicates our belief of continuing opportunities to grow through increased scale and productivity gains, as well as modernization of existing operations. Ultrapar expects to invest R$184 million at Ultragaz, R$886 million at Ipiranga, R$244 million at Oxiteno, R$60 million at Ultracargo and R$67 million at Extrafarma. At Ultragaz, investments will be focused mainly (i) on the construction of a filling plant in São Luis, in the state of Maranhão, (ii) on UltraSystem (small bulk), due to the perspective of capturing new clients and (iii) on the replacement and purchase of new LPG bottles. At Ipiranga, we plan to invest (i) R$366 million to maintain the pace of expansion of its distribution network (through the conversion of unbranded service stations and the opening of new gas stations) and of am/pm and Jet Oil franchises, focused on the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil, (ii) R$121 million in the expansion of its logistics infrastructure to support the growing demand, mainly through the construction of new logistics facilities, and (iii) R$400 million in the maintenance of its activities, mainly in the renewal of contracts of its distribution network and the renovation of service stations, and in the modernization of its operations. Out of Ipiranga’s total investment budget, R$885 million refer to additions to property, plant, equipment and intangible assets, and R$2 million refer to financing to clients, net of repayments. Oxiteno plans to invest R$161 million in expansion projects, mainly in the potential expansion of its production capacity in Pasadena, in the United States, and in the conclusion of the capacity expansion in Coatzacoalcos, in Mexico. The expansion in Mexico is expected to be operational by 2014 and will add 30,000 tons per year of production capacity. Additionally, Oxiteno intends to invest R$83 million in enhancing the productivity and in the maintenance of its plants and IT systems. Ultracargo is expected to invest mainly in the modernization, adjustment and maintenance of the infrastructure of its terminals and in the potential expansion of the Itaqui terminal, which shall start operating in 2015. At Extrafarma, investments will be directed to the opening of new drugstores, to the expansion of its logistics operations and to the maintenance of its existing stores.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

Research and Development

Oxiteno carries on a wide range of research and development activities, principally related to the application of specialty chemicals and improvements in production processes. As of December 31, 2013, 124 employees of Oxiteno were engaged in research and development and engineering activities. Oxiteno’s research and development expenditures in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were R$28 million, R$24 million and R$22 million, respectively. In 2004, Oxiteno founded its own “Science and Technology Council” with six

107

of the world’s major specialists in surfactants as members. These specialists, with experience in the surfactant industry or in the academic environment in the US, Europe and Latin America, follow the trends and opportunities in the sector. Since 2004, the council, currently composed of five specialists, has met once a year in São Paulo to analyze Oxiteno’s research and development project portfolio, as well as the management methodology applied. Their recommendations enable Oxiteno to improve its research and development activities’ efficiency, as well as to broaden the reach of its partnerships with international entities. In addition, Oxiteno has created specific scientific councils with specialists from its main segments.

Oxiteno’s investments in research and development have resulted in the introduction of 56 new products during the last three years. Oxiteno will continue to invest in research and development focused on developing new product applications to meet clients’ needs.

Trademarks and Patents

Ipiranga owns registrations for the trademarks used in its distribution business, such as Ipiranga, Quilômetros de Vantagens Ipiranga (“Km de Vantagens”), Jet Oil, Clube VIP Ipiranga, Clube do Milhão Ipiranga, Posto 24 horas, Atlantic, Ipiranga 4x4, Gasolina Original Ipiranga (Original Ipiranga Gasoline), among several others. The 10-year period of validity of the registrations for these trademarks will expire between 2014 and 2022. IPP also owns a supplying fuel pump and other patents. Ipiranga acquired the am/pm brand in Brazil in November 2012 through an agreement signed with Atlantic Richfield Company.

Licenses

As part of the acquisition of the Ipiranga Group, Ipiranga licensed the use of the Ipiranga brand in the Northeast, North and Midwest regions of Brazil to Petrobras until March 2012. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Description of the Acquisition of Ipiranga Group.” Under the terms of the acquisition of Texaco, Ipiranga had the right to use the Texaco brand until March 2012 in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil and had such right until March 2014 in the North, Northeast and Midwest regions of Brazil. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Description of the Acquisition of Texaco.” As of the date of this annual report, we no longer use the Texaco brand at our service stations.

D. Trend Information

LPG business

Between 2003 and the end of 2007, LPG prices charged to LPG distributors in Brazil remained stable, despite increases in oil and LPG prices in the international markets, which were partially offset by the appreciation of the Real compared to the U.S. dollar, reducing the difference between LPG prices in Brazil and in the international markets. However, in 2008 Petrobras increased LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 15% in January, an additional 10% in April and 6% in July. In February 2009, Petrobras reduced the LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 5%. In January 2010, Petrobras increased the LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage by 6%. The LPG refinery price for residential use remained unchanged since 2003. In the last few years, Petrobras’ practice has been not to immediately reflect in its oil derivatives prices in Brazil the volatility of international prices of oil and oil derivatives. We cannot guarantee that this trend will continue. Any sharp increase in LPG prices charged to LPG distributors could have an impact on Ultragaz’s results if it is unable to maintain its operational margins or sales volume.

LPG bulk sales are correlated to economic growth, thus an acceleration or deceleration in Brazilian GDP growth can affect our sales volume. As of December 31, 2013, this segment represented 33% of the volume sold by Ultragaz. Bottled LPG is an essential good and, therefore, it has a weaker correlation with economic performance.

Chemical and petrochemical business

The specialty chemicals volume in the Brazilian market is correlated to economic growth and therefore an acceleration or deceleration in the Brazilian GDP growth can affect our sales volume, as Oxiteno’s specialty chemicals sales in Brazil represented 59% of its total sales in 2013. From 2008 to 2011, Oxiteno completed certain capacity expansions, including the conclusion in 2011 of the 90 thousand tons per year expansion of the ethylene oxide unit in Camaçari, allowing an increase in sales volumes, and resulted in

108

an increase in exports sales and hence in the portion of its volume sold outside Brazil. As the Brazilian market grows, Oxiteno aims at (i) increasing the volume sold in the domestic market as the logistics costs are usually lower than logistics cost of sales outside Brazil, and (ii) increasing the volume of specialties sold, which are products of higher value added than commodities. In 2013, sales of specialty chemicals represented 89% of the total volume sold by Oxiteno, compared to 84% in 2012. In 2012, Oxiteno expanded its activities to the United States, through the acquisition of a specialty chemicals plant in Pasadena, Texas, with production capacity of 32 thousand tons per year, and to Uruguay, through the acquisition of American Chemical, a specialty chemicals company, with production capacity of 81 thousand tons per year. In 2013, Oxiteno invested in the expansion of its production capacity in Coatzacoalcos, in Mexico. In 2014, Oxiteno plans to invest in the expansion of its production capacity, mainly in the conclusion of the expansion in Coatzacoalcos, in Mexico, and in the potential expansion in Pasadena, in the United States. The expansion in Mexico is planned to be operational by 2014 and will add 30,000 tons per year of production capacity.

Almost all of Oxiteno’s products prices and variable costs are linked to U.S. dollar. Therefore, a sharp appreciation or depreciation of the Real could have an impact on Oxiteno’s contribution margin in the future. In 2012, the unstable international environment contributed to the 9% depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar. In 2013, the Real depreciated 15% against the U.S. dollar. Considering the average exchange rate during the year, the Real depreciated 10% against the U.S. dollar. From December 31, 2013 to April 17, 2014 the Real depreciated 4% against the U.S. dollar. We cannot predict what will be the trend for the exchange rate in the future.

Oxiteno’s main raw material is ethylene, which is produced from naphtha in Brazil. Generally, naphtha prices in Brazil fluctuate with oil prices. In 2012, the oil price ended the year quoted at US$ 110 per barrel, up 2% over 2011. In 2013, the oil price ended the year quoted at US$111 per barrel, up 1% over 2011. From December 31, 2013 to April 17, 2014, oil prices decreased by 1%. We cannot predict whether oil and ethylene prices will keep this trend. Additionally, the price of palm kernel oil, one of Oxiteno’s main raw materials, is subject to fluctuations in international markets, once it is subject to the effects of environmental and climatic variations that affect the palm plantations, fluctuations of harvest periods, economic environment in major producing countries and fluctuations in the demand for its use in the food industry. As a consequence, palm kernel oil prices are quite volatile. The palm kernel oil price ended 2011 quoted at US$1,402 per ton, down 27% from 2010. In 2012, the palm kernel oil price ended the year quoted at US$741 per ton, down 47% from 2011. In 2013, the palm kernel oil price ended the year quoted at US$1,187 per ton, up 60% over 2012. From January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014, palm kernel oil prices increased by 16%. We cannot predict whether palm kernel oil prices will keep this trend. A sharp variation in ethylene and palm kernel oil prices could have an impact on Oxiteno’s results of operations if it is unable to maintain its operational margins.

The increase in demand for chemical and petrochemical products in Brazil during the last years and the ongoing integration of regional and world markets have contributed to the increasing integration of the Brazilian petrochemical industry into the international petrochemical marketplace. As a consequence, events affecting the petrochemical industry worldwide could have a material effect on our business and results of operations. The chemical industry performance worldwide was strongly affected by the world financial crisis in 2009, which caused the demand for chemical products to decrease in several countries. Due to the growth of the Brazilian chemicals market, Oxiteno has been facing tougher competition from certain foreign producers since 2009, including ethylene oxide and derivatives producers with access to natural-gas-based raw materials.

Fuel distribution business

In the recent past, the combined sales of gasoline, ethanol and natural gas in Brazil have been correlated to the growth of light vehicle fleet in the country. According to ANFAVEA, the number of new vehicles registered in Brazil in 2011, 2012 and 2013 was 3.4 million, 3.6 million and 3.6 million, respectively, leading to an average growth of 7.5% per year of the Brazilian light vehicle fleet. The light vehicle fleet in Brazil is estimated at 37 million cars as of December 31, 2013. Additionally, we believe the current ratio of inhabitants per vehicle in Brazil is still low when compared to the rate seen in countries with similar level of development. According to 2011 data released by ANFAVEA (the last available data), the penetration of light vehicles in Brazil is about 18% of total inhabitants, while in Argentina it is 27% and in Mexico it is 28%.

Diesel sales, which in 2013 accounted for 54% of the volume sold by Ipiranga, have historically been correlated with Brazilian economic performance, particularly the agricultural and consumer goods segments. In 2013, the Brazilian diesel market, according to ANP data, presented growth of 5% when compared to 2012. The increase in fuels consumption could have a positive effect on the future volume sold by the company and on its results, but we cannot guarantee that this trend will continue.

The efforts taken to curb the grey market in ethanol are leading to the weakening of business models based on artificially low costs and unfair practices, creating a more level playing field and increasing sales volume of the formal market. In 2013, the share of ethanol volume sold by Sindicom members relative to the total market was 66%, a significant increase compared to 59% in 2012 and 58% in 2011, as a result of the measures taken by the Brazilian government to curb tax evasion and investments made by the branded distributors in converting unbranded service stations. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Fuel Distribution — Industry and Regulatory Overview — Regulation.”

109

In the last few years, Petrobras’ practice has been not to immediately reflect the volatility of international prices of oil and its derivatives in the Brazilian market. We cannot guarantee that this trend will continue. In October 2011, the Brazilian government reduced the percentage of anhydrous ethanol mixed to gasoline from 25% to 20%, due to a shortage of ethanol production. To avoid the price increase of the gasoline to the end consumer, the government decided to reduce the CIDE tax from R$230/m³ to R$193/m³ at the same time. In November 2011, the government reduced again the CIDE tax of the gasoline A to R$91/m³ and the diesel from R$70/m³ to R$47/m³. This reduction of the CIDE tax allowed Petrobras to increase gasoline and diesel prices by 10% and 2%, respectively, without affecting prices to the distributor. In June 2012, Petrobras increased gasoline and diesel prices by 3.9% and 7.8%, respectively, and the CIDE tax of both products was simultaneously reduced to zero, offsetting the effect of the increase in prices. In July 2012, Petrobras increased diesel price by 6.2%. Due to the Real depreciation and the prices of oil derivatives in the foreign market, (i) in January 2013, Petrobras increased gasoline and diesel prices by 6.6% and 5.4%, respectively; (ii) in March 2013, Petrobras announced a new adjustment in diesel price, of 4.9%; and (iii) in November 2013, Petrobras increased once more gasoline and diesel prices by 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively.

See “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospect — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness” and Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for more information about the maturity of our debt and applicable interest rates. See Notes 14 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on the maturity and the fair value of our swap agreements.

(2) Includes estimated interest payments on our short-term and long-term debt. Does not include any information about our derivative instruments, for which the fair value is disclosed in Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for more information about our derivative instruments.

(3) The currency and interest rate hedging instruments were estimated based on projected U.S. dollar futures contracts and the futures curve of DI x Pre contract quoted on BM&FBOVESPA as of December 30, 2013, and on the futures curve of LIBOR (BBA—British Bankers Association) on December 31, 2013. In the table above, only the hedging instruments that are expected to result in a disbursement at the time of settlement were considered.

(4) The estimated payment amount was calculated based on (i) a 5.0% inflation assumption, (ii) the average age of the participants as of December 31, 2013 (38 years) and (iii) the company’s contribution in December 2013.

(5) Our subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste has a supply agreement with Braskem which establishes a minimum quarterly consumption level of ethylene and conditions for the supply of ethylene until 2021. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, Oxiteno’s annual purchase commitment may not be lower than 205 thousand tons or higher than 220 thousand tons. Should the minimum purchase commitment not be met, the subsidiary would be liable for a fine of 40% of the current ethylene price for the quantity not purchased. Oxiteno Nordeste has met the minimum purchase required since the beginning of the agreement. Our subsidiary Oxiteno has a supply agreement with Braskem, valid until 2023, which establishes and regulates the conditions for supply of ethylene to Oxiteno based on the international market for this product. The minimum purchase is 22,050 tons of ethylene semiannually. Should the minimum purchase commitment not be met, the subsidiary would be liable for a fine of 30% of the current ethylene price for the quantity not purchased. The subsidiary has met the minimum purchase required since the beginning of the agreement.

(6) The purchase obligation relates to long-term contracts under which Oxiteno is required to purchase a minimum amount of energy annually.

(7) Tequimar has agreements with CODEBA — Companhia Docas do Estado da Bahia and Complexo Industrial Portuário Governador Eraldo Gueiros—in connection with its ports facilities in Aratu and Suape, respectively. Such agreements establish a minimum cargo movement of products (i) in Aratu, of 1,000 thousand tons per year until 2016, and of 900 thousand tons per year from 2017 to 2022, as well as (ii) in Suape, of 650 thousand tons per year, until 2027, and of 400 thousand tons per year in Suape in 2028 and 2029. If the annual movement is less than the minimum contractual movement, the subsidiary is liable to pay the difference between the effective movement and the minimum contractual movement based on the port tariff rates on the date established for payment. As of December 31, 2013, these rates per ton were R$5.79 for Aratu and R$1.38 for Suape.

(8) The subsidiaries IPP and Cia Ultragaz have operating lease contracts related to land and building of service stations and stores, respectively.

B. Compensation

The purpose of Ultrapar’s compensation policy and practices are (i) to align the interests between management and shareholders, based on the principle of sharing risks and returns, (ii) to converge individual goals to the company’s strategy, and (iii) to recognize the contribution and retain professionals, based on market references. Following these principles, Ultrapar adopts a differentiated and competitive compensation plan, that includes the use of value creation metrics to establish variable compensation targets, differentiated benefits to executives and a stock ownership plan.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the company recognized aggregate compensation of our directors and executive officers of R$34.3 million in its financial statements, distributed as follows:

	Board of Directors		Executive Officers		Total
	(in thousands of Reais, except for the number of members)

(1) Weighted average number of members over the period

The main components of our management compensation plan are:

• Fixed compensation (salary and direct and indirect benefits): a monthly amount paid with the purpose of remunerating the responsibility and complexity inherent to each position, the individual contribution and the experience of each professional.

• Short-term variable compensation: an annual amount paid in order to align the interests of the executives with those of the company. This amount is linked to (i) the businesses performance, which is measured through the Economic Value Added (EVA^®) metric, and (ii) the achievement of annual individual goals established based on the strategic planning and focused on expansion and operational excellence projects, people development and market positioning, among others.

• Long-term variable compensation: the purpose of this portion is to align long-term interests of executives and shareholders and to retain executives. The previous program had been effective from 2006 to 2011, with payment in 2012 after verified the achievement of the established goals. In February 2014, a similar program was established for the CEO of Ultrapar.

115

In addition, a portion of the aggregated compensation is represented by the amortization of the shares granted to the executive officers under the Deferred Stock Plan (defined below). See “Item 6.D. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Employees.”

On April 27, 2001, the general shareholders’ meeting approved a stock-based compensation plan to members of management and employees in executive positions in the company. On November 26, 2003, the extraordinary general shareholders’ Meeting approved certain amendments to the original plan of 2001 (the “Deferred Stock Plan”). In the Deferred Stock Plan, certain members of management of the company have the voting and economic rights of shares and the ownership of these shares is retained by the subsidiaries of the company. The Deferred Stock Plan provides for the transfer of the ownership of the shares to those eligible members of management after five to ten years from the initial concession of the rights, subject to uninterrupted employment of the participant during the period. The total number of shares to be used for the Deferred Stock Plan is subject to the availability of such shares in treasury. Ultrapar’s executive officers are responsible for selecting the members of management eligible for the plan and proposing the number of shares in each case for approval by the Board of Directors. On December 31, 2013, the amount granted to the company’s executives, including tax charges, totaled R$63.6 million. This amount is amortized over the vesting period of the Deferred Stock Plan. The amortization in 2013 in the amount of R$9.7 million was recognized as a general and administrative expense. The fair value of the shares granted was determined on the grant date, based on the market value of the shares on the BM&FBOVESPA.

The chart below sets forth a historical summary of the shares provided to the members of our board of executive officers as of December 31, 2013:

C. Board Practices

We are managed by our Board of Directors (Conselho de Administração) and by our executive officers (Diretoria). As of December 31, 2013, our Board of Directors elected at the annual general shareholders’ meeting on April 10, 2013, consisted of nine members, five of whom are independent, according to the Brazilian rules, non-executive members (including one appointed by former minority preferred shareholders). Two members of the board were executive officers until December 2006 and one member was an executive officer until December 2012. Our Board of Directors must meet regularly every three months and extraordinarily whenever called by its chairman or by any two directors. During 2013, eleven board meetings were held. Each meeting of the Board of Directors requires that a majority of the directors be present, including the chairman or the vice-chairman, before the meeting may commence. The vote of a majority of the members present is required for approval of a resolution by the Board of Directors. In case of a tie, the chairman, or in the chairman’s absence, the vice chairman, will provide the casting vote. The chairman of our Board of Directors has the power to call a special meeting of the Board of Directors as circumstances may require; provided, however, that two-thirds of

116

board members are present in order to convene such special meeting. Among other responsibilities, the Board of Directors is responsible for (i) our general guidelines, (ii) electing and removing our executive officers, supervising their management and fixing their compensation, (iii) deliberating on the issuance of new shares, within the limits of our authorized capital, (iv) authorizing the distributions of dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity, (v) approving transactions with value exceeding three percent of our shareholders’ equity, (vi) approving our dissolution or merger and (vii) the appointment of independent registered public accounting firm, among other responsibilities. Pursuant to Brazilian law, each member of the Board of Directors must be elected by the holders of our shares at the general shareholders’ meeting.

Members of the Board of Directors are elected for a period of two years and may be reelected.

Our bylaws require that at least thirty percent of the members of our Board of Directors be independent directors, in accordance with independence requirements of the Novo Mercado segment regulation. In addition, our bylaws set forth that the election of the members of the Board of Directors must be made through the nomination of a slate of candidates, unless cumulative voting is requested. Only the following slates of candidates will be eligible (i) those nominated by the Board of Directors; or (ii) those nominated by any shareholder or group of shareholders. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company – New corporate governance structure” and “Exhibit 1.1. — Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of January 31, 2014.”

When electing members to the Board of Directors, shareholders will be entitled to request, as required by law and our bylaws, the adoption of a cumulative voting process, provided that they do so within, at least, forty-eight hours in advance of the shareholders’ meeting. The minimum percentage of capital necessary for requesting the cumulative voting process is 5% of the shares. In the event the election has been conducted by cumulative voting, the removal of any member of the Board of Directors by the shareholders’ meeting shall entail the removal of the other members, giving rise to a new election. See “Exhibit 1.1. — Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of January 31, 2014.” Shareholders must prove uninterrupted title to our shares for a period of at least three months immediately prior to the date of the general shareholders’ meeting in order to exercise their rights related to the election of directors.

Executive Officers

As of December 31, 2013, our Board of Executive Officers was comprised of a minimum of four and a maximum of eight members, including our Chief Executive Officer.

As of December 31, 2013, each of our executive officers had been appointed by the Board of Directors for a two-year term and will remain in office until the Board of Directors’ meeting that will appoint the executive officers in 2015. Current executive officers can be reelected for additional two-year terms. For the dates on which our executive officers began holding their respective position, see “Item 6.A. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Directors and Senior Management.”

Although the election of Mr. Paulo Correa Lazera to our board of executive officers was approved by our board of directors on December 11, 2013, such election was subject to the approval of the Extrafarma Transaction by the shareholders of both Extrafarma and us. Upon such approval, on January 31, 2014, Mr. Paulo Correa Lazera officially assumed office as an executive officer. The term of office of Mr. Paulo Correa Lazera coincides with the terms of office of our other executive officers.

Fiscal Council and Audit Committee Exemption

Brazilian Corporate Law requires us to establish a fiscal council (Conselho Fiscal), which may operate on a permanent or non-permanent basis. According to the Brazilian Corporate Law, a fiscal council acting on a non-permanent basis is required to be formed when requested by 10% of voting shareholders in an annual general shareholders’ meeting. However, pursuant to CVM Instruction 324/00, in the case of Ultrapar, holders of 2% of the voting capital are entitled to request the installation of the fiscal council. The elected members of the fiscal council will remain in place only until the following annual general shareholders’ meeting, in which they may be reelected by our shareholders.

From 2005 to 2010, our bylaws provided for a fiscal council with permanent operations. As set forth in our bylaws adopted on June 28, 2011, our fiscal council acts on a non-permanent basis. In addition, our bylaws provide for an audit committee as an ancillary body of the Board of Directors. In the event the fiscal council is installed in accordance with Brazilian Corporate Law, the fiscal council will operate as the audit committee during that mandate, exercising all the duties and in accordance with the requirements set forth in our bylaws, including with respect to its members. The audit committee will not operate in any fiscal year when a fiscal council is installed. See “Exhibit 1.1. —Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of January 31, 2014.” We currently have a fiscal council installed.

117

Currently, our fiscal council acts as an audit committee pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Under Rule 10A-3(c)(3) of the Exchange Act, non-U.S. issuers, such as Ultrapar, are exempt from the audit committee requirements of Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual if they establish, according to their local law or regulations, another body that acts as an audit committee.

The fiscal council is a separate corporate body independent of our management and our external independent registered public accounting firm. According to the Brazilian Corporate Law, the fiscal council must meet at least four times per year. Since its establishment, in July 2005, our fiscal council has been meeting on a regular basis, and in 2013, they held fourteen meetings. Our fiscal council is responsible for reviewing the accuracy and integrity of quarterly and annual financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting, internal control and auditing requirements and in compliance with the provisions of Brazilian Corporate Law; the forms of the CVM and requirements for listing on BM&FBOVESPA; the rules of the SEC and the requirements for listing on NYSE. Our fiscal council also (1) makes recommendations to our board of directors regarding the appointment, retention and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm, (2) discusses matters related to interim and annual financial statements with the management of the company and the independent registered public accounting firm, (3) reviews and evaluates the performance of internal auditing and (4) discusses matters related to effectiveness of the internal controls of the company with management and independent registered public accounting firm. With the support of our fiscal council, the company improved procedures for receiving, retaining and addressing complaints regarding accounting, internal control and auditing matters, including the submission of confidential, anonymous complaints from employees regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. Our fiscal council may hire outside advisors to assist it with matters related to the course of their duties, and such expenses are covered by the company. The members of our fiscal council are elected by our shareholders at the annual general shareholders’ meeting for one-year terms and are eligible for reelection. The terms of the members of our fiscal council expire at the next annual general shareholders’ meeting. Under Brazilian Corporate Law, individuals who are members of our board of directors or our board of executive officers or are employees or spouses or relatives of any member of our management are not eligible to serve on the fiscal council. To be eligible to serve on our fiscal council, a person must be a resident of Brazil and either a university graduate or has been a company officer or fiscal council member of another Brazilian company for at least three years prior to election to our fiscal council. On June 28, 2011, the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting approved the modification of the number of fiscal council members from five to three members. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company New corporate governance structure” and “Exhibit 1.1. — Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of January 31, 2014.”

On April 16, 2014, the general shareholders’ meeting approved compensation for fiscal council members of R$13,700 per month for each effective (non-alternate) member, except for the president of the fiscal council, whose compensation was set at R$14,700 per month.

As of December 31, 2013, our fiscal council consisted of three members and their respective alternate members, set forth on the following table:

In 2000, BM&FBOVESPA introduced three special listing segments, known as Levels 1 and 2 of Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices and Novo Mercado, which seek to foster a secondary market for securities issued by Brazilian companies with securities listed on BM&FBOVESPA, by requiring such companies to follow good practices of corporate governance. The listing segments were designed for the trading of shares issued by companies voluntarily abiding by corporate governance practices and disclosure requirements in addition to those already imposed by Brazilian law. These rules generally increase shareholders’ rights and enhance the disclosure of information provided to shareholders.

In October 2005, we entered into an agreement with BM&FBOVESPA and have complied with the requirements to become a Level 1 company, which is the entrance level of the Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices of BM&FBOVESPA.

On June 28, 2011, the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting and the special preferred shareholders’ meeting approved the conversion of each preferred share into one common voting share, the migration of Ultrapar to Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA and amendments to our bylaws. See “Exhibit 2.11 – Rules of Novo Mercado.”

Our bylaws have provisions that exceed the listing requirements of Novo Mercado. For example, according to the rules of Novo Mercado the minimum percentage of independent members of the Board of Directors is set at 20%, while a minimum of 30% is required in our bylaws. Our bylaws also establish (i) a mandatory tender offer to 100% of the company’s shareholders in the event a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert, acquire or become holders of 20% of the company’s shares, excluding treasury shares, and (ii) creation of audit and compensation committees, as ancillary bodies of the Board of Directors. Our bylaws do not establish any limitation on voting rights, special treatment to current shareholders, public tender offers for a price above that of the acquisition price of shares or any other poison pill provisions, thus assuring the effectiveness of a majority shareholders’ approval on all matters to be deliberated. See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company – New corporate governance structure” and “Exhibit 1.1. — Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of January 31, 2014.”

Shareholders’ Agreements

Ultra S.A.’s shareholders executed, on February 24, 2014, a new shareholders’ agreement which became effective as of that date and replaced the 2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement. The Ultra S.A. shareholders agreement’s main terms are substantially related to (i) the decision process of Ultra S.A.’s vote at Ultrapar’s shareholders meetings and (ii) procedures to exchange any party’s shares in Ultra S.A. into shares of Ultrapar, provided that the party’s percentage held in our capital remains the same percentage held indirectly through his or her interest in Ultra S.A. The terms and conditions of the new shareholders’ agreement are substantially the same as the previous shareholder’s agreement among the same parties effective since 2011, except, mainly, for the replacement of

123

previous meetings among the agreeing parties for extraordinary shareholders’ meetings of Ultra S.A. to decide upon the vote of Ultra S.A. regarding certain matters in general shareholders’ meetings of Ultrapar. The 2014 Shareholders’ Agreement will be valid for a five-year term and is renewable by a unanimous resolution. It can be terminated prior to the expiration of its term by a resolution of 80% of Ultra S.A. voting shares. Additionally, in line with the 2011 Shareholders’ Agreement, the following provisions remain:

• any party purchasing shares of Ultra S.A. must agree to be bound by the terms of the 2014 Shareholders’ Agreement;

• the requirement for prior approval at a shareholders’ meeting for a third party to become an Ultra S.A. shareholder; and

• the obligation to the agreeing parties of the 2014 Shareholders’ Agreement to vote favorably at the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Ultra S.A. convened to discuss and approve the necessary actions for the exchange of any party’s shares in Ultra S.A. into our shares at an exchange ratio necessary to obtain the same percentage of our capital stock as was held in Ultra S.A.

See “Exhibit 2.13 – 2014 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2014.”

B. Related Party Transactions

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information

For our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto see “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

Dividends and Distribution Policy

Dividend policy

The bylaws of a Brazilian company may establish a minimum percentage of the profit that must be paid to shareholders as mandatory dividends. The amounts due as dividends may be paid as interest on net equity. Our bylaws provides for a mandatory distribution equal to 50% of the Distributable Amount (as defined below).

Brazilian Corporate Law defines the “net profit” as the results of the relevant fiscal year, reduced by accumulated losses of prior fiscal years, provisions for income tax and social contribution on the net profit for such fiscal year, and amounts allocated to employees’ and management’s participation on the results in such fiscal year.

124

The amount available for distribution of dividends, referred to as the “Distributable Amount,” is the net profit, as reduced or increased by the following:

• amounts allocated to the legal reserve;

• amounts allocated to the statutory reserve, if any;

• amounts allocated to the contingency reserve, if required;

• amounts allocated to the unrealized profit reserve;

• amounts allocated to the retained profit reserve;

• amounts allocated to the income tax exemption reserve;

• reversions of reserves registered in prior years, in accordance with Brazilian GAAP; and

• reversions of the amounts allocated to the unrealized profit reserve, when realized and not absorbed by losses.

Legal reserves. We are required to maintain a legal reserve to which we must allocate 5% of our net profit until the amount of our legal reserve equals 20% of paid-in capital. We are not required to make any allocations to the legal reserve for any fiscal year in which such reserve, when added to our capital reserves, exceeds 30% of our capital stock. Accumulated losses, if any, may be charged against the legal reserve. Other than that, the legal reserve can only be used to increase our capital.

Statutory reserves. Under Brazilian Corporate Law, any corporation may create statutory reserves, in which case it shall be provided in its respective bylaws. In this case, the bylaws must also indicate the reserve purpose, allocation criteria and maximum amount of reserve. As provided in our bylaws, we may allocate up to 45% of our net profit to an investment reserve, up to the limit of 100% of our capital stock.

Contingency reserves. Under Brazilian Corporate Law, our shareholders may decide, upon a proposal of our Board of Directors, to allocate a discretionary amount of our net profit to a contingency reserve for estimated future losses, which are deemed probable. The distributable amount may be further increased by the reversal of such reserve in the fiscal year when the reasons that justified the creation of such reserve cease to exist or in which the anticipated loss occurs. Accordingly, there is no specific percentage of net profit allocable to this type of reserve.

Unrealized profits reserves. Under Brazilian Corporate Law, when the mandatory dividend amount exceeds the realized net profits in a given fiscal year, our shareholders may elect, upon a proposal of our Board of Directors, to allocate some or all of the excess dividend amount to any unrealized profits reserve. Brazilian Corporate Law defines “realized” net profits as the amount by which the company’s net profits exceed the sum of (1) its net positive results, if any, from the equity method of accounting for earnings and losses of the company’s subsidiaries and certain of its affiliates and (2) the profits, gains or returns that will be received by the company after the end of the next fiscal year. The distributable amount is increased by the profits that were allocated to such reserve when they are realized.

Income tax exemption reserve. Under Brazilian Corporate Law, the portion of the net profit derived from donations or governmental incentives directed to investments, can be excluded of the Distributable Amount.

Retained profits reserve. Under Brazilian Corporate Law, our shareholders may decide to retain a discretionary amount of our net profits that is provided for in a budget approved in the general shareholders’ meeting, upon the proposal of its Board of Directors, for the expansion of our installations and other investment projects. After the conclusion of the relevant investments, we may retain the reserve until the shareholders approve the transfer of the reserve, in full or in part, to its capital or to the accumulated profits reserve. In accordance with Brazilian Corporate Law, if a project to which part of the reserve has been allocated has a term exceeding one year, the budget for such project must be approved by the general shareholders’ meeting each fiscal year through the conclusion of the project.

Brazilian Corporate Law provides that all statutory allocations of net profit, including the unrealized profits reserve and the reserve for investment projects, are subject to approval by the shareholders voting at a general shareholders’ meeting and may be used for capital increases or for the payment of dividends in subsequent years. The legal reserve is also subject to approval by the general shareholders’ meeting and may be transferred to capital or used to absorb losses, but is not available for the payment of dividends in subsequent years.

The balance for the profit reserve accounts, except for the contingency reserve and unrealized profits reserve, may not exceed the share capital. If this happens, our shareholders must determine whether the excess will be applied to pay in the subscribed and unpaid capital, to increase and pay in the subscribed stock capital or to distribute dividends.

The profits unallocated to the accounts mentioned above must be distributed as dividends.

125

A company is permitted to allocate to the unrealized profits reserves all income from equity gains in subsidiaries that are not distributed to the company in the form of cash dividends. When such gains are distributed to the company in the form of cash dividends, the company is required to reverse the reserve. See “Item 3.D. Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Shares and the American Depositary Shares.” In addition to the mandatory distribution, the Board of Directors may recommend to the shareholders the payment of interim distributions from other funds that are legally available for such purposes. Any payment of an interim dividend may be set off against the amount of the mandatory dividend distribution for that fiscal year.

As an alternative form of payment of dividends, Brazilian companies may distribute interest on capital, which payments may be treated by a company as a deductible expense for income and social contribution taxes purposes. Payments of interest on capital may be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to the approval of the holders of our common shares. Payments of interest attributed to shareholders’ equity, net of withholding tax, may be distributed as part of the minimum mandatory dividends, to the extent that it does not exceed the limits described below. This interest is calculated in accordance with the daily pro rata variation of the Brazilian government’s long-term interest rate, (TJLP), as determined by the Central Bank from time to time, and cannot exceed the greater of:

• 50% of net income (after the deduction of the social contribution on profits and before the provision for corporate income tax and the amounts attributable to shareholders as net interest on equity) related to the period in respect of which the payment is made; or

• 50% of the sum of retained profits and profit reserves in the beginning of the period with respect to which the payment is made.

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, a company may suspend the mandatory distribution either in the form of dividends or payments of interest on capital if the shareholders at the general shareholders’ meeting determine, based on the Board of Directors’ proposal, which is reviewed by the fiscal council, that payment of the mandatory distribution for the preceding fiscal year would be inadvisable in light of the company’s financial condition. Our managers must report to the CVM such suspension within five days of the relevant general shareholders’ meeting. Under Brazilian law, mandatory distributions that are suspended and not offset against losses in future years must be paid as soon as the financial condition of the company permits.

We declare and pay dividends and/or interest on capital, pursuant to Brazilian Corporate Law and our bylaws. Our Board of Directors may approve the distribution of dividends and/or interest on capital, calculated based on our annual or semi-annual financial statements or on financial statements relating to shorter periods. The amount of any distributions will depend on a series of factors, such as our financial condition, prospects, macroeconomic conditions, tariff adjustments, regulatory changes, growth strategies and other issues our Board of Directors and our shareholders may consider relevant.

The amount of retention of profits and investments reserve are free of distribution restrictions and totaled R$2.4 billion as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 2.0 billion as of December 31, 2012 and R$1.6 billion as of January 1, 2012).

For 2013, 2012 and 2011, we declared dividends to our shareholders in the amounts of R$744 million, R$627 million and R$525 million, corresponding to 61%, 62% and 61% of our reported net income for each year, respectively.

The following table sets forth the dividends per share distributed by us with respect to our capital stock in the past five years.

126

Holders of our shares are entitled to receive dividends declared by us solely from the date of the subscription and/or acquisition of such shares.

Payment of dividends. Within the four months following the end of each fiscal year, our shareholders are required to hold an annual shareholders’ meeting to decide, among other things, on the allocation of our net profits with respect to the fiscal year ended immediately prior to the shareholders’ meeting and the payment of an annual dividend. Additionally, interim dividends may be declared by our Board of Directors. Under Brazilian Corporate Law, dividends are generally required to be paid within 60 days following the date the dividend was declared, unless a shareholders’ resolution sets forth another date of payment, which, in either case, must occur prior to the end of the fiscal year in which such dividend was declared. Unclaimed dividends revert to us three years after the date when we begin to pay such declared dividends.

Shareholders who are not residents of Brazil must register with the Central Bank to have dividends, sales proceeds or other amounts with respect to their shares eligible to be remitted in foreign currency outside of Brazil. The shares underlying the ADSs will be held in Brazil by the Custodian, Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A., as agent for the Depositary. For purposes of the registration requirement, the Depositary is deemed to be the stockholder of the shares underlying the ADSs. The Depositary will register such common shares with the Central Bank.

Payments of cash dividends and distributions, if any, will be made in Brazilian currency to the Custodian on behalf of the Depositary. The Custodian will then convert such proceeds into U.S. dollars and will cause such U.S. dollars to be delivered to the Depositary for distribution to holders of ADSs. See “Description of American Depositary Receipts” in our Registration Statement filed on Form F-1, declared effective on April 12, 2005. In the event that the Custodian is unable to convert immediately the Brazilian currency received as dividends into U.S. dollars, the amount of U.S. dollars payable to holders of ADSs may be adversely affected by devaluations of the Brazilian currency that may occur before such dividends are converted and remitted. See “Item 3.A. Key Information — Selected Consolidated Financial Data — Exchange Rates” and “Item 3.D. Key Information — Risk factors — Risks Relating to Brazil.” Dividends in respect of the shares paid to shareholders who are not Brazilian residents, including holders of ADSs, are exempt from Brazilian withholding tax except for dividends declared based on profits generated prior to December 31, 1995. Distributions of interest attributable to shareholders’ equity are currently subject to withholding tax at a rate of 15%, or 25% in the case of a shareholder domiciled in a “tax haven”. See “Item 10.E. Additional Information — Taxation — Brazilian Tax Consequences.”

Legal proceedings

We are party to administrative proceedings and lawsuits that are incidental to the normal course of our business. We believe that our provisions for such proceedings and lawsuits are sufficient to meet probable and reasonably estimable losses in the event of unfavorable court decisions and that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on our financial condition or on our results. For additional information on our legal proceedings, see Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements.

Labor matters

The company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions of R$60.2 million as of December 31, 2013 for labor litigation filed by former employees and by employees of our service providers mainly contesting the non-payment of labor rights.

In 1990, the Petrochemical Industry Labor Union (Sindiquímica), of which the employees of Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, companies located in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex, are members, filed separate lawsuits against the subsidiaries demanding the compliance with the fourth section of the collective labor agreement, which provided for a salary adjustment in lieu of the salary policies practiced. In the same year, a collective labor dispute was also filed by the Union of Employers (SINPEQ) against Sindiquímica, requiring the recognition of the loss of effectiveness of such fourth section. Individual claims were rejected. The collective bargain agreement is currently pending trial by STF. In the second half of 2010, some companies in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex signed an agreement with Sindiquímica and reported the fact in the collective bargain agreement dispute. Based on the opinion of their legal advisors, that reviewed the latest STF decision in the collective bargain agreement dispute as well as the status of the individual claims involving the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, the management of such subsidiaries believed that it was not necessary to recognize a provision as of December 31, 2013.

127

Civil claims

The civil claims against us are mainly related to legal proceedings for indemnity derived from contractual relationships.

Certain subsidiaries are engaged in lawsuits and administrative proceedings, mainly derived from contracts entered into with customers and former suppliers, as well as proceedings related to environmental issues. The company and its subsidiaries maintained total provisions of R$90.9 million as of December 31, 2013 for such lawsuits and administrative proceedings.

Additionally, certain former shareholders of RPR, CBPI and DPPI filed two lawsuits in the States of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro questioning the Share Exchange in connection with the acquisition of the Ipiranga Group in order to prevent the company’s shareholders’ meeting that would deliberate on the Share Exchange from taking place. Decisions by administrative and judicial courts stated that there were no legal grounds for the request. Based on such administrative and court decisions, the Share Exchange was approved by the shareholders’ meeting of the companies on December 18, 2007. The lawsuit filed in the State of Rio de Janeiro terminated as a result of loss of interest to sue, due to the sale of the correspondent shareholding at Ultrapar. Regarding the lawsuit filed in the state of São Paulo, the former Ipiranga shareholders that filed the suit appealed against the decision issued and the court of appeals rejected this appeal and maintained the lower court’s decision. In 2011, a new lawsuit in the State of Rio de Janeiro was filed by some of these former shareholders, questioning aspects of the Share Exchange. This new lawsuit is still pending a lower court decision. The company has not recorded any provision for these lawsuits in its financial statements.

Tax matters

We filed lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of several taxes applicable to us. The company and its subsidiaries obtained decisions to pay the PIS and the COFINS without the changes introduced by Law 9,718/1998 in its original version. The ongoing questioning refers to the levy of these contributions on sources of income other than gross revenue. In 2005, the STF decided the question in favor of the taxpayers. Although this has set a favorable precedent, the effect of this decision does not automatically apply to all companies, since they must await the formal decision in their own lawsuits. Certain lawsuits of the company’s other subsidiaries are currently pending trial and, in the event all decisions in such lawsuits become final and unappealable in favor of the subsidiaries, the company estimates that the total positive effect on income before corporate income tax (“IRPJ”) and social contribution on net profit (“CSLL”), may reach R$36.1 million, net of attorney’s fees.

On October 7, 2005, our subsidiaries Cia Ultragaz and Bahiana filed for and obtained a preliminary injunction to recognize and offset PIS and COFINS credits on LPG purchases, against other taxes levied by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, notably IRPJ and CSLL. The decision was confirmed by a trial court on May 16, 2008. Under the preliminary injunction, the subsidiaries were required to make escrow deposits for these debits in the accumulated amount of R$345.5 million as of December 31, 2013 (R$291.5 million as of December 31, 2012 and R$242.1 million as of January 1, 2012) and have registered a corresponding liability.

Ipiranga has provisions for IRPJ and CSLL related to the unconstitutionality of Law No. 9,316/1996, that denied the deduction of CSLL from the IRPJ tax basis, in the amount of R$19.8 million as of December 31, 2013 (R$19.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and R$18.4 million as of January 1, 2012).

The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia Ultragaz, Tequimar, RPR, Tropical, EMCA and IPP filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from their PIS and COFINS tax bases. Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP obtained the right to pay the challenged amounts into escrow deposits through an injunction, and recognized a corresponding provision in the amount of R$86.3 million as of December 31, 2013 (R$81.6 million as of December 31, 2012 and R$75.6 million as of January 1, 2012). The decisions of these and all claims involving this issue are suspended owing to the granting of injunctive relief on the Declaration of Constitutionality Action No. 18.

The subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. decided to pay-off, within Decree 58811/2012 amnesty issued by the State of Săo Paulo, a tax assessment based on alleged undue ICMS credits taken in its tax records, for which the tax authorities understand that there was no proof of origin, recorded in connection with the symbolic return of raw materials that had previously been delivered for industrialization. The provision in the amount of R$15.4 million was paid in April 2013. Similarly, in November 2013 the subsidiary IPP decided to pay-off, within the Decree 885/2013 amnesty issued by the State of Pará, a tax assessment in the amount of R$12.6 million.

Ipiranga has provisions related to ICMS, mainly with respect to the nonpayment of the ICMS for several reasons that resulted in tax assessments for which the proof of payment is not evident. The amount involved is R$19.5 million as of December 31, 2013 (R$19.5 million as of December 31, 2012 and R$16.0 million as of January 1, 2012).

128

The main tax claims of Ipiranga and its subsidiaries classified as having a possible risk of loss, and that have not been recorded in the financial statements due to this assessment, are related to ICMS, and mainly to: (a) the required proportional reversal of ICMS credits recorded on the purchase of ethanol that was later resold at lower prices as a result of PROÁLCOOL, a Federal Government program to encourage alcohol production, determining the anticipation of financial subsidy by the distributors to the mill owners and their subsequent reimbursement by the DNC (current ANP or “National Oil Agency”) (R$113.6 million), (b) alleged undue ICMS credits on the grounds that the company has taken ICMS credits in its tax records, for which the tax authorities understand that there was no proof of origin (R$29.6 million), (c) assessments for alleged non-payment of ICMS (R$25.6 million), (d) assessments issued in Ourinhos/SP in connection with the return of ethanol loans made with deferred tax (R$40.8 million), (e) assessments in the State of Rio de Janeiro demanding the reversal of ICMS credits on interstate sales made under Article 33 of ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the use of the ICMS credit but was suspended by an injunction granted by STF (R$17.2 million), (f) ICMS credits taken in relation to bills considered invalid, though the understanding of the STJ is that it is possible to take credit, even if there is defect in the document of the seller, as long as it is confirmed that the transaction occurred (R$27.2 million), (g) tax assessments arising from surplus or shortage of inventory, generated by differences in temperature or handling of the product, without the corresponding issuance of invoices in accordance with the understanding of tax authorities (R$47.1 million), (h) infraction relating to the disallowance of ICMS legitimately appropriated by the company issued because of allegedly failing to comply with legal formalities, in the amount of R$36.4 million and; (i) assessments arising from ICMS credits related to inputs of ethanol from certain States that had granted tax benefits to producers of alcohol in alleged disagreement with the law (R$30.7 million), (j) assessments that consider various possible breaches of auxiliary obligations, among them the alleged failure to issue invoices, the alleged failure to properly deliver informative reports to the tax authorities and complete the DANFE - Auxiliary Document Electronic Invoice, among others (R$11.8 million); and (k) infraction notice for non-payment of ICMS related to the acquisition of basic lubricating oil, whose remittance was deferred to the time of the subsequent industrialized output relating to interstate transactions (covered by the constitutional non-incidence - article 155, X, ‘b’ of the Federal Constitution) (R$10.7 million).

The subsidiary IPP has assessments invalidating the set-off of IPI credits in connection with the purchase of raw materials used in the manufacturing of products which sales are not subject to IPI under the protection of tax immunity. The non-provisioned amount of this contingency, in 2013, was R$117.7 million (R$81.9 million in 2012).

The table below summarizes our provisions related to legal and administrative proceedings as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

	2013		2012		2011
	(in millions of Reais)
Income and social contribution taxes		360.9		305.8		256.2
PIS and COFINS		86.5		82.9		82.6
ICMS		33.1		62.5		73.4
Others		158.5		149.2		141.0
Total		639.0		600.5		553.2

Some of the provisions above involve escrow deposits in the amount of R$456.1 million as of December 31, 2013 (R$401.8 million as of December 31, 2012).

Antitrust matters

Ultragaz in Minas Gerais. The subsidiary Cia Ultragaz is party to an administrative proceeding before CADE (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica), the Brazilian antitrust authority, based on alleged anti-competitive practices in the State of Minas Gerais in 2001. In 2009, the CADE entered a decision against Cia Ultragaz imposing a penalty of R$23.1 million. The imposition of the administrative decision was suspended by a court order and its merit is being judicially reviewed. Based on the above elements and on the opinion of its legal counsel, the management of the subsidiary did not record a provision for this contingency.

Acquisition of American Chemical. The acquisition of 100% of the shares of American Chemical by Oxiteno was duly submitted to the antitrust authorities on June 18, 2012. A non-binding opinion of the General Superintendence of CADE was issued on April 19, 2013 recommending disapproval of the transaction. However, on November 20, 2013, the plenary session of CADE voted unanimously to approve the transaction, subject to the execution of a Performance Commitment Agreement (Termo de Compromisso de Desempenho), setting forth certain business conduct obligations in relation to the acquired company for a period of five years as from the date of the execution of the TCD.

129

Acquisition of Extrafarma. The merger of shares (incorporação de ações), of Extrafarma with Ultrapar, pursuant to which Ultrapar acquired all of the shares of Extrafarma and Extrafarma became our wholly-owned subsidiary, was duly submitted to the antitrust authorities on October 11, 2013. On October 25, 2013, CADE approved the transaction, which closed on January 31, 2014.

B. Significant Changes

None.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A. Share Capital

Not applicable.

B. Memorandum and Bylaws

We are registered with the commercial registry of the state of São Paulo under the registration number 35,300,109,724. Pursuant to chapter I, article 3 of our bylaws, our main corporate purpose is the investment of our capital in the trade, industry and agriculture sectors and in companies providing services, through the subscription for or acquisition of shares or quotas in other companies.

General

Set forth below is a summary of selected significant provisions of our bylaws and the Brazilian Corporate Law, the rules and regulations of the CVM and the Novo Mercado listing segment of BM&FBOVESPA regarding certain corporate matters in force since the completion of the Conversion. This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to our bylaws, Brazilian Corporate Law, the rules and regulations of CVM and the rules of the Novo Mercado.

In connection with the Conversion, at the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting and the special preferred shareholders’ meeting, both held on June 28, 2011, our shareholders approved (i) the conversion of all preferred shares into common shares at a ratio of one preferred share for one common share; (ii) changes to and consolidation of our bylaws; (iii) the company’s adherence to the rules of the Novo Mercado of the BM&FBOVESPA; and (iv) the confirmation that the new provisions related to the rights of all company’s shareholders in the event of a sale of control of the company, pursuant to its new bylaws and the Novo Mercado regulations, are equivalent to the provisions of the Ultra S.A. shareholders’ agreement dated as of March 22, 2000. Such decisions became effective on the date the shares issued by the company were admitted to trade at the Novo Mercado of the BM&FBOVESPA.

As a result of the Conversion, all preferred shares were converted into common shares. Therefore, certain rights granted to preferred shareholders by Brazilian law or our previous bylaws no longer apply, such as, for example, the priority in capital distribution in the event of our liquidation. Also, due to our new capital structure, other shareholders’ rights are currently not applicable, for instance, the right to separate elections for the Board of Directors and Fiscal Council. On the other hand, common shareholders are entitled to voting rights in any matter. See “Item 14. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds.”

131

Since our shares are listed on the Novo Mercado, we are required to comply with heightened requirements for corporate governance. In addition, we are not permitted to issue preferred shares or any shares with restricted voting rights while listed on the Novo Mercado pursuant to the rules of the Novo Mercado and our bylaws.

Description of Capital Stock

As of January 31, 2014 our subscribed and paid-in capital stock consisted of 556,405,096 common shares, all of which have equal voting and equity rights, with no par value.

Voting Rights

Each common share entitles its holder to one vote at the matters of the shareholders’ meetings, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law, our bylaws and the Novo Mercado regulations. For more detailed information with respect to the voting rights of our common shares see our Form 8-A filed with the SEC on August 15, 2011 in the section “Description of Capital Stock—Shareholders’ Meetings.”

Deregistration as Publicly-Held Company

We may only deregister as a publicly-held company if such deregistration is approved by a majority of the shareholders present at a shareholders’ meeting and we, our controlling shareholders or a group of controlling shareholders conduct a public tender offer for the acquisition of all of our outstanding shares in accordance with the provisions of Brazilian Corporate Law, the CVM rules and regulations, the Novo Mercado regulation and our bylaws, in which case we would become a privately-held company. The price offered for such outstanding shares must at least correspond to the economic value of such shares as set forth in the respective appraisal report issued by a specialized institution, paid for by the offeror.

The specialized institution must have proven experience and it must be independent with respect to the company’s decision making power, our Board of Directors, our executive officers and any controlling shareholder. The institution will be chosen at the shareholders’ meeting from a list of three alternatives submitted by the Board of Directors. The institution will be chosen by a majority vote of the shareholders representing the free float present at such shareholders’ meeting, not counting blank votes. The shareholders’ meeting, if convened on first call, must have shareholders representing at least 20% of the entire free float in attendance. If convened on second call, the shareholders’ meeting may have any number of shareholders representing the free float in attendance.

Shareholders holding at least 10 percent of the free float of our shares may require our management to call a special shareholders’ meeting to determine whether to perform another valuation using the same or a different valuation method. This request must be made within 15 days following the disclosure of the price to be paid for the shares in the public tender offer. If the new valuation price is lower than the original valuation price, the shareholders making such request as well as those who vote in its favor must reimburse the company for any costs incurred in preparing the new valuation. If the new valuation price is higher than the original valuation price, the public tender offer must be made at the higher price.

If a transaction which results in our deregistration as publicly-held company is approved and there is no controlling shareholders or group of controlling shareholders, then the shareholders at the meeting approving such delisting will determine the persons responsible for launching the tender offer.

Withdrawal from the Novo Mercado

We may at any time withdraw the company from the Novo Mercado, pursuant to majority shareholder approval at a shareholders’ meeting and with 30-day prior notice to BM&FBOVESPA. The withdrawal from the Novo Mercado does not necessarily result in our deregistration as a publicly-held company on the BM&FBOVESPA.

Pursuant to our bylaws, the withdrawal from the Novo Mercado approved by the shareholders’ present at a shareholders’ meeting, by the controlling shareholders or a group of controlling shareholders (including if the withdrawal is a result of the approval of a corporate reorganization) will be conditioned upon the launching of a mandatory tender offer for the acquisition of our remaining shares by such shareholders at a price at least equal to the economic value of such shares as set forth in the respective valuation report issued by a specialized institution.

If there is no controlling shareholder, the shareholders who approve the withdrawal from the Novo Mercado will determine the persons responsible for carrying out the tender offer among those present at the shareholders’ meeting. If no such persons are determined, in case of a corporate reorganization in which the securities of the company resulting from such reorganization are not admitted for trading in the Novo Mercado, the shareholders having voted in favor of the corporate reorganization shall carry out the referred offer.

132

If the company is withdrawn from the Novo Mercado as a result of a violation of the rules of the Novo Mercado, the controlling shareholders will be required to carry out a tender offer for the remaining shares at a price that corresponds to at least the economic value of such shares as set forth in an appraisal report prepared by a specialized institution. If there are no controlling shareholders, the tender offer shall be carried out by those shareholders who voted in favor of the resolution that resulted in the violation of the rules of the Novo Mercado. If, however, the violation results from management action or fact, our management must call a shareholders’ meeting for the purpose of taking the necessary actions to remedy the breach of its Novo Mercado obligations or to approve the delisting. In the event the shareholders approve the company’s delisting from the Novo Mercado, the shareholders’ must determine the persons responsible for carrying out the public tender offer. The appointment of the institutions responsible for preparing reports as mentioned above will comply with the same procedures applicable to a going private transaction. See “—Deregistration as a Publicly-Held Company.”

According to the rules of the Novo Mercado, in the event of a transfer of our shareholding control within 12 months following our delisting from the Novo Mercado, the selling controlling shareholders and the acquirer must offer to acquire the remaining shares for the same price and terms offered to the selling controlling shareholders, adjusted for inflation.

If our shares are delisted from the Novo Mercado, we will not be permitted to rejoin the Novo Mercado for a period of two years after the delisting date, unless there is a change in the company’s control following our delisting.

Sale of Control

In the event of a direct or indirect sale of the company’s corporate control, through a single or series of transactions, the acquirer must conduct a public tender offer to buy all of the shares held by the remaining shareholders in order to ensure equal treatment of all shareholders (tag-along right). Such right has been provided to Ultrapar’s shareholders since March 22, 2000, in accordance with the terms of the Ultra S.A. shareholders’ agreement signed on the same date, which has since then been rescinded and replaced by our bylaws. The tender offer is subject to applicable laws, our bylaws and the rules of the Novo Mercado.

A public tender offer is also required when there is an assignment for consideration of share subscription rights or rights of other securities convertible into our shares, which results in the transfer of control of the company. In such a case, the acquiring shareholder must (i) complete a public tender offer for the acquisition of our remaining shares on the same terms and conditions offered to the selling shareholder and (ii) reimburse the counterparties from whom it has acquired our shares on the stock exchange in the six-month period preceding the transaction which resulted in a change in control. The reimbursement amount corresponds to the positive difference between the price paid to the selling shareholder in the transaction that resulted in a change of control and the adjusted price paid in the transactions carried out on the BM&FBOVESPA during this six-month period, as adjusted by the SELIC rate up until the payment date.

The acquirer of our corporate control, if applicable, must take all necessary measures to reconstitute the minimum 25% free float within six months of the acquisition.

The controlling shareholder may not transfer our shares held by it to the purchaser of control of the company, and we may not register the transfer of such shares, if the purchaser fails to execute the terms of consent of the rules of the Novo Mercado and the arbitration regulation established by the BM&FBOVESPA.

Acquisition of a Relevant Interest

Any person, regardless of whether he/she is a shareholder, which, on his/her own account or acting jointly with another person, acquires our shares, through a single transaction or a series of successive transactions, representing 20% or more of our capital stock, is required to make a tender offer for the acquisition of the shares held by the remaining shareholders at a price equal to the highest value per share paid by him/her in the preceding six months, adjusted pursuant to the SELIC rate. Such persons will not be required to carry out a public tender offer in the event they timely and cumulatively sell on a stock exchange the number of our shares that exceeds such thresholds, within 30 days from the date they provide notice to the company of their intent to make such sales. In addition, the requirement to carry out a public tender offer will not apply in the event any shareholder or group of shareholders hold more than 50% of our capital stock at the time of acquisition of the relevant interest.

133

Public Tender Offers

A single public tender offer may be made for more than one of the purposes provided for in our bylaws, the rules of the Novo Mercado, Brazilian Corporate Law or in the regulations issued by the CVM, provided that the procedures used in conducting the public tender offer are compatible with all requirements of each distinct public tender offer, the public tender offerees do not suffer any damages and the authorization of the CVM is obtained, when required by applicable law.

C. Material Contracts

2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement

Ultra S.A.’s shareholders executed, on April 1, 2011, the 2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement, which replaced the shareholders’ agreement executed in December 2009. The terms and conditions of the 2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement are substantially the same of the previous shareholders’ agreement, except, mainly, for (a) the requirement for prior approval at a shareholders’ meeting for a third party to become an Ultra S.A. shareholder and (b) the purpose and form of the preliminary meetings to be held prior to the company’s certain shareholders’ meetings. The 2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement was in force until June 28, 2013. See “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Major Shareholders — Shareholders’ Agreements” and “Exhibit 2.8 – 2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2011.”

2014 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement

Ultra S.A.’s shareholders executed, on February 24, 2014, a new shareholders’ agreement which became effective as of that date and replaced the 2011 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement. The Ultra S.A. shareholders agreement’s main terms are substantially related to (i) the decision process of Ultra S.A.’s vote at Ultrapar’s shareholders meetings and (ii) procedures to exchange shares in Ultra S.A. into shares of Ultrapar. The terms and conditions of the new shareholders’ agreement are substantially the same as the previous shareholder’s agreement among the same parties effective since 2011, except, mainly, for the replacement of preliminary meetings among the agreeing parties for extraordinary shareholders’ meetings of Ultra S.A. to decide upon the vote of Ultra S.A. regarding certain matters in general shareholders’ meetings of Ultrapar. The 2014 Shareholders’ Agreement will be valid for a five-year term and is renewable by a unanimous resolution. It can be terminated prior to the expiration of its term by a resolution of 80% of Ultra S.A. voting shares. See “Item 7.A. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — Major Shareholders — Shareholders’ Agreements” and “Exhibit 2.13 – 2014 Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2014.”

Association and Other Covenants Agreement - Extrafarma

On September 30, 2013, Ultrapar, Extrafarma, Paulo Correa Lazera, Katia Correa Lazera, Pedro José Correa Lazera, Roberto Correa Lazera, Tania Lazera Lima Paes, Tereza Lazera Kemp and Sandra Correa Lazera, each individual being a former shareholder of Extrafarma entered into an Association and Other Covenants Agreement to effect the merger of shares (incorporação de ações) of Extrafarma with Ultrapar. See “Exhibit 4.17 – Summary of the Association and Other Covenants Agreement, dated September 30, 2013.”

Notes in the foreign market

In December 20, 2005, the subsidiary LPG International issued US$250 million in notes in the international market, with the aim of lengthening the company’s debt profile, financing possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes. The notes mature in December 2015, have a coupon of 7.3% per annum paid semiannually. Standard & Poor’s assigned its BB+ credit rating on a global scale for the company and the securities issued. The notes:

• are unsecured unsubordinated obligations of LPG International, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated obligations of LPG International;

• are issued in an original aggregate principal amount of US$250 million in minimum denominations of US$100,000 of original principal amount and integral multiples of US$1,000 above such amount;

134

• bear interest commencing the date of issue at 7.25% per annum on the outstanding principal amount, payable semiannually on each June 20 and December 20 of each year, commencing June 20, 2006 to holders of record on June 5 or December 5 immediately preceding the respective interest payment date; and

• bear interest on overdue principal, and pay interest on overdue interest, at 1% per annum higher than the per annum rate set forth on the cover of the offering memorandum for the notes.

The notes will be redeemable at the option of LPG International at any time or from time to time prior to their maturity, upon no more than 60 and not less than 30 days’ notice to the note holders by mail. LPG International may redeem the notes either as a whole or in part at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of any such interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted (for purposes of determining present value) to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate plus 50 basis points, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

The guarantees for the notes are unsecured unsubordinated obligations of Ultrapar and Oxiteno, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated obligations of Ultrapar and Oxiteno. For information about the covenants the company is subject to due to the LPG notes, see “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness.”

The holders of the notes and the guarantees had the benefit of registration rights pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 20, 2005, under which the notes and the guarantees would be required to be exchanged for notes and guarantees identical in terms to the original notes and guarantees except for restrictions on transfer, in a transaction registered with the SEC, prior to September 30, 2006.

The registration statement for the notes was filed on May 15, 2006 and was declared effective by the SEC on May 23, 2006. Ultrapar carried out an exchange offer for its outstanding US$250 million 7.25% Notes due 2015, issued on December 20, 2005, which expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on June 22, 2006. At the close of the exchange offer, LPG International, Ultrapar and Oxiteno were advised by the exchange agent that an aggregate amount of US$246 million of the old notes had been tendered in exchange for an equivalent amount of new notes. All old notes tendered in exchange for new notes have been accepted and new notes have been issued to the tendering holders of such old notes under identical terms and conditions of the old notes. The remaining outstanding aggregate amount of old notes is US$4 million.

BNDES

Ultrapar has financing from BNDES (Brazilian National Development Bank) for some of its investments. As of December 31, 2013, such line of credit with BNDES totaled R$1.6 billion, of which R$0.3 billion had been drawn down.

The loans under this credit agreement bear basically an annual interest of TJLP plus an additional rate that varies according to each subsidiary. The credit line agreement contains certain financial ratio covenants and limits on permitted usages of the borrowed amounts (which are limited to certain fixed asset and working capital expenditures). In addition, the subsidiaries may redeem the debt prior to the maturity date, but will be subject to the payment of certain premiums.

Debentures

In March 2012, Ultrapar completed its fourth issuance of debentures in a single series of 800 simple, nonconvertible into shares, unsecured debentures. The proceeds of the issuance were used to partially redeem 800 debentures from the third issuance. The terms of the fourth issuance of debentures are substantially the same of those of the third issuance, except for the maturity date, which is March 16, 2015, and the interest rate, which is 108.25% of the CDI.

In December 2012, the subsidiary IPP made its first issuance of R$600 million in public debentures, which mature in November 2017 and bear interest at 107.9% of CDI, with principal due at maturity. The proceeds from this issuance were used for general corporate purposes, in order to strengthen its cash position and lengthen its debt profile, providing greater financial flexibility.

In January 2014, the subsidiary IPP made its second issuance of R$800 million in public debentures, which mature in December 2018 and bear interest at 107.9% of CDI, with principal due at maturity. The proceeds from this issuance were used to lengthen its debt profile, providing greater financial flexibility.

For more information on our debentures, see “Item 5.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness.”

135

Banco do Brasil

Our subsidiary IPP entered into several loan agreements with Banco do Brasil S.A. to finance the marketing, processing or manufacturing of agricultural goods (particularly ethanol). IPP contracted hedging instruments, converting the fixed rates for these loans into an average of 99.3% of CDI. The loan agreements contain certain financial penalties for failure to make required payments, limits on permitted usages of the borrowed amounts (which are linked to certain agricultural products expenditures) and loan acceleration clauses. In addition, these agreements contain cross default clauses, requiring the principal and accrued interest to be paid in full for certain events.

For further detail on financial instruments of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries, see Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements and “Item 4.A. Information on the Company — History and Development of the Company — Recent Developments.”

Other material contracts are described in other sections of this report

For information regarding our contract with Braskem relating to the supply of ethylene, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company — Business Overview — Petrochemicals and Chemicals — Oxiteno — Raw materials” and “Item 5.F. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.”

D. Exchange Controls

There are no restrictions on ownership of our common shares by individual or legal entities domiciled outside Brazil. However, the right to convert dividend payments and proceeds from the sale of our shares into foreign currency and to remit such amounts abroad is subject to restrictions under foreign investment legislation which generally require, among other things, that the relevant investment be registered with the Central Bank and the CVM.

Foreign investors may register their investment in our shares under Law 4,131 of September 3, 1962 or Resolution 2,689 of January 26, 2000, both as amended. Registration under Resolution 2,689 affords favorable tax treatment to non-Brazilian investors who are not residents in a “tax haven” jurisdiction (i.e. countries that do not impose income tax or where the maximum income tax rate is lower than 20%), as defined by Brazilian tax laws.

Under Resolution 2,689, non-Brazilian investors may invest in almost all financial assets and engage in almost all transactions available in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, provided that certain requirements are fulfilled. In accordance with Resolution 2,689, the definition of non-Brazilian investor includes individuals, legal entities, mutual funds and other collective investment entities, domiciled or headquartered abroad.

Under Resolution 2,689, a non-Brazilian investor must:

• appoint at least one representative in Brazil, with powers to perform actions relating to its investment;

• appoint an authorized custodian in Brazil for its investment;

• register as a non-Brazilian investor with the CVM; and

• register its foreign investment with the Central Bank.

Securities and other financial assets held by non-Brazilian investors pursuant to Resolution 2,689 must be registered or maintained in deposit accounts or under the custody of an entity duly licensed by the Central Bank or the CVM. In addition, securities trading is restricted to transactions carried out in the stock exchanges or through organized over-the-counter markets licensed by the CVM, except for transfers resulting from a corporate reorganization, or occurring upon the death of an investor by operation of law or will. See “Item 10.E. Additional Information — Taxation — Brazilian Tax Consequences.”

Foreign investors must be registered with the Brazilian internal Revenue Service (“Receita Federal”) pursuant to the Nominative Instruction 1,183, dated as of August 19, 2011. This registration process is undertaken by the investor’s legal representative in Brazil.

Resolution 1,927 of the National Monetary Council provides for the issuance of depositary receipts in foreign markets in respect of shares of Brazilian issuers. Accordingly, the proceeds from the sale of ADSs by holders of American Depositary Receipts outside Brazil are free of Brazilian foreign investment controls and holders of ADSs who are not resident in a “tax haven” jurisdiction will be entitled to favorable tax treatment.

136

The right to convert dividend payments and proceeds from the sale of our shares into foreign currency and to remit such amounts outside Brazil is subject to restrictions under foreign investment legislation which generally requires, among other things, that the relevant investment be registered with the Central Bank. Restrictions on the remittance of foreign capital abroad could hinder or prevent the custodian for the shares represented by ADSs, or holders who have exchanged ADSs for shares, from converting dividends, distributions or the proceeds from any sale of shares, as the case may be, into U.S. dollars and remitting such U.S. dollars abroad. Delays in, or refusal to, granting the required government approval for conversions of Brazilian currency payments and remittances abroad could adversely affect holders of ADSs.

We have obtained a certificate of registration in the name of The Bank of New York, the depositary. Pursuant to this certificate, the custodian and the depositary are able to convert dividends and other distributions with respect to the shares represented by ADSs into foreign currency and to remit the proceeds outside Brazil. If a holder exchanges ADSs for shares, such holder may continue to rely on the depositary’s certificate of capital registration for only five business days after such exchange. After that, such holder must seek to register its investment directly with the Central Bank. Thereafter, unless the holder has registered its investment with the Central Bank, such holder may not convert into foreign currency and remit outside Brazil the proceeds from the disposition of, or distributions with respect to, such shares. Such holder generally will be subject to less favorable Brazilian tax treatment than a holder of ADSs.

Before March 14, 2005, there were two principal foreign exchange markets in Brazil, in which notes were freely negotiated but could be strongly influenced by Central Bank intervention:

• the commercial rate exchange market dedicated principally to trade and financial foreign exchange transactions such as the buying and selling of registered investments by foreign entities, the purchase or sale of shares, or the payment of dividends or interest with respect to shares; and

• the floating rate exchange market that was generally used for transactions not conducted through the commercial foreign exchange market.

On March 4, 2005, the National Monetary Council enacted Resolution No. 3265, pursuant to which the commercial rate exchange market and the floating rate exchange market were unified in a sole exchange market, effective as of March 14, 2005. The new regulation allows, subject to certain procedures and specific regulatory provisions, the purchase and sale of foreign currency and the international transfer of Reais by a person or legal entity, without limitation of the amount involved, provided that the transaction is legal.

Under Brazilian law, whenever there is a serious imbalance in Brazil’s balance of payments or reasons to foresee a serious imbalance, the Brazilian government may impose temporary restriction on the remittance of foreign currency abroad and on the conversion of Brazilian currency into foreign currencies. Such restrictions may hinder or prevent the custodian or holders who have exchanged ADSs for underlying shares from converting distributions or the proceeds from any sale of such shares, as the case may be, into U.S. dollars and remitting such U.S. dollars abroad.

E. Taxation

This description does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to any particular investor, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers or to certain classes of investors or that are generally assumed to be known by investors.

This summary is based upon tax laws of Brazil and the United States as of the date of this annual report, which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and to differing interpretations. Investors who hold our shares and ADSs should consult their own tax advisors as to the Brazilian, United States or other tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of shares or ADSs, including, in particular, the effect of any non U.S., state or local tax laws.

The tax considerations described below do not take into account the effects of a possible future income tax treaty between Brazil and the United States. We cannot assure you as to whether or when an income tax treaty will enter into force or how it will affect U.S. Holders (as defined below) of our shares or ADSs.

This summary does not address any tax issues that affect solely the company, such as deductibility of expenses.

137

Brazilian Tax Consequences

General. The following discussion summarizes the main Brazilian tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposal of our shares or ADSs, as the case may be, by a holder that is not domiciled in Brazil for purposes of Brazilian taxation and, in the case of shares, has registered its investment in such securities with the Central Bank as a direct investment (in each case, a “Non-Brazilian Holder”). The following discussion does not address all of the Brazilian tax considerations applicable to any particular Non-Brazilian Holder. Therefore, each Non-Brazilian Holder should consult his or her own tax advisors concerning the Brazilian tax considerations relating to an investment in our shares or ADSs.

Taxation of dividends. Dividends paid by us, including stock dividends and other dividends paid in property, to the depositary in respect of the shares, or to a Non-Brazilian Holder in respect of shares, are currently exempted from withholding tax in Brazil to the extent that the dividends are paid out of profits as of January 1, 1996. Dividends relating to profits generated prior to January 1, 1996 may be subject to Brazilian withholding income tax at varying rates, depending on the year the profits were generated.

Provisory Measure No. 627 enacted on November 11, 2013 established new rules that may potentially impact the withholding tax exemption available on the payment of dividends related to the period from 2008 to 2013. After a preliminary analysis of this Provisory Measure, the company understands, based on the advice of its tax consultants, that the ultimate impact of this measure might not be material. In any case, we are awaiting the measure’s conversion into law to ascertain its effect, as certain provisions may change in the interim period.

Payments of interest on capital. Law No. 9,249, dated as of December 26, 1995, as amended, permits Brazilian corporations to make distributions to shareholders of interest on capital, or interest attributed to shareholders’ equity. These distributions may be paid in cash. Such payments represent a deductible expense from the payor’s corporate income tax and social contribution tax basis. This interest is limited to the daily pro rata variation of the Federal Government’s long-term interest rate, as determined by the Central Bank from time to time, and cannot exceed the greater of:

• 50% of net income (after the social contribution on net profits and before the provision for corporate income tax, and the amounts attributable to shareholders as interest on net equity) for the fiscal year; or

• 50% of the sum of retained profits and profits reserves.

Any payment of interest on capital to shareholders (including holders of ADSs in respect of shares) is subject to a withholding income tax at a rate of 15%, or 25% if the Non-Brazilian Holder is domiciled in a jurisdiction that does not impose income tax or where the maximum income tax rate is lower than 20% or where the local legislation imposes restrictions on disclosing the shareholding composition or the ownership of the investment (“Tax Haven Holder”). These payments may be included, net of withholding income taxes, as part of any mandatory dividend.

On June 24, 2008, Law No. 11,727 was enacted, which provides that, as of January 1, 2009, a “tax haven” will also include:

(1) jurisdictions or countries whose local legislation imposes restrictions on the access of information relating to the ownership of shares of a Brazilian entity or a given investment; and

(2) any “privileged tax regime”. Under this law, a “privileged tax regime” is a tax regime that meets any one of the following requirements: (i) does not tax income or taxes income at a maximum rate of less than 20%; (ii) grants tax advantages to a non-resident entity or individual (a) without requiring substantial economic activity in the jurisdiction of such non-resident entity or individual or (b) to the extent such non-resident entity or individual does not conduct substantial economic activity in the jurisdiction of such non-resident entity or individual; (iii) does not tax income generated abroad, or imposes tax on income generated abroad at a maximum rate of less than 20%, or (iv) restricts the ownership disclosure of assets and ownership rights or restricts disclosure about economic transactions carried out.

Specifically with respect to the part of the Law No. 11,727 described in clause (2) above, our Brazilian counsel has advised that although this part of the Law No. 11,727 should apply only to determining what constitutes a “tax haven” for purposes of Brazilian transfer pricing rules, because several Brazilian regulations utilize the “privileged tax regime” concept when referencing “tax haven” jurisdictions, there is a possibility that the privileged tax regime concept may impact the definition of what constitutes a “tax haven” for purposes of the Brazilian regulations.

To the extent that payments of interest on capital are included as part of a mandatory dividend, we are required to distribute an additional amount to ensure that the net amount received by shareholders, after payment of the applicable withholding income tax, is at least equal to the mandatory dividend.

Distributions of interest on net equity to foreign holders may be converted into U.S. dollars and remitted outside Brazil, subject to applicable exchange controls, to the extent that the investment is registered with the Central Bank.

138

We cannot assure you if our Board of Directors will determine that future distributions should be made by means of dividends or interest on capital.

Taxation of gains. According to Law No. 10,833, dated as of December 29, 2003, the gains recognized on a disposal of assets located in Brazil, such as our shares, by a Non-Brazilian Holder, are subject to withholding income tax in Brazil. This rule is applicable regardless of whether the disposal is conducted in Brazil or abroad and/or if the disposal is or is not made to an individual or entity resident or domiciled in Brazil.

As a general rule, capital gains realized as a result of a disposal transaction are the positive difference between the amount realized on the disposal of the shares and the respective acquisition cost.

Capital gains realized by Non-Brazilian Holders on the disposal of shares sold on the Brazilian stock exchange (which includes the transactions carried out on the organized over-the-counter market):

• are subject to the withholding income tax at a zero percent rate when realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder that (i) has registered its investment in Brazil before the Central Bank under the rules of the Brazilian Monetary Counsel (“Registered Holder”) and (ii) is not a Tax Haven Holder; and

• are subject to income tax at a rate of 15% with respect to gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder that is not a Registered Holder (including a Non-Brazilian Holder who qualifies under Law No. 4,131/62) and gains earned by Tax Haven Holders that are Registered Holders. In this case, a withholding income tax of 0.005% shall be applicable and can be offset against any income tax due on the capital gain.

Any other gains realized on the disposal of shares that are sold on the Brazilian stock exchange or on the organized over-the-counter market:

• are subject to income tax at a rate of 15% when realized by any Non-Brazilian Holder that is not a Tax Haven Holder, no matter if a Registered Holder or not; and

• are subject to income tax at a rate of 25% when realized by a Tax Haven Holder, no matter if a Registered Holder or not.

In the cases above, if the gains are related to transactions conducted on the Brazilian non-organized over-the-counter market with intermediation, the withholding income tax of 0.005% shall also be applicable on the gross proceeds and can be offset against any income tax due on the capital gain.

Any exercise of preemptive rights relating to shares will not be subject to Brazilian income tax. Gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder on the disposal of preemptive rights will be subject to Brazilian income tax according to the same rules applicable to disposal of shares.

There can be no assurance that the current favorable tax treatment of Registered Holders will continue in the future.

Sale of ADS and shares by U.S. Holders to other non-residents in Brazil

Pursuant to Section 26 of Law No. 10,833, published on December 29, 2003, the sale of property located in Brazil involving non-resident investors is subject to Brazilian income tax as of February 1, 2004. Our understanding is that ADSs do not qualify as property located in Brazil and, thus, should not be subject to the Brazilian withholding tax. Insofar as the regulatory norm referred to in Section 26 is recent and generic and since, at the present time, no definitive jurisprudence provided by Brazilian Superior Courts has been established with respect to this matter, we are unable to assure the final outcome of such discussion.

Gains on the exchange of ADS for shares

Although there is no clear regulatory guidance, the exchange of ADSs for shares should not be subject to Brazilian income tax. Non-Brazilian Holders may exchange their ADSs for the underlying shares, sell the shares on a Brazilian stock exchange and remit abroad the proceeds of the sale within five business days from the date of exchange (in reliance on the depositary’s electronic registration). For further information, see “Item 10. Additional Information — Taxation — Brazilian Tax Consequences — Taxation of Bonds and Securities Transactions (IOF/Bonds).” Our understanding is that the exchange of ADSs for the underlying shares and sale of shares within the period mentioned above by a Non-Brazilian Holder that (i) is a Registered Holder and (ii) is not a Tax Haven Holder, should not be subject to the withholding income tax.

139

Upon receipt of the underlying shares in exchange for ADSs, Non-Brazilian Holders may also elect to register with the Central Bank the U.S. dollar value of such shares as a foreign portfolio investment under the rules of the Brazilian Monetary Counsel, which will entitle them to the tax treatment referred above in connection with Registered Holders.

Alternatively, the Non-Brazilian Holder is also entitled to register with the Central Bank the U.S. dollar value of such shares as a foreign direct investment under Law No. 4,131/62, in which case the respective sale would be subject to the tax treatment of Non-Brazilian Holders that are not Registered Holders.

Gains on the exchange of shares for ADS

The deposit of shares in exchange for the ADSs may be subject to Brazilian income tax on capital gains if the amount previously registered with the Central Bank as a foreign investment in shares (direct investment registered under Law No. 4,131/62) or, in the case of Registered Holders, the acquisition cost of the shares, as the case may be, is lower than:

• the average price per share on the Brazilian stock exchange on which the greatest number of such shares were sold on the day of the deposit; or

• if no shares were sold on that day, the average price on the Brazilian stock exchange on which the greatest number of shares were sold during the 15 preceding trading sessions.

The difference between the amount previously registered, or the acquisition cost, as the case may be, and the average price of the shares, calculated as set forth above, is considered a capital gain subject to income tax at a rate of 15%, or 25% for Tax Haven Holders.

Taxation of Foreign Exchange Transactions (IOF/Exchange). IOF/Exchange is imposed on the conversion of Reais into foreign currency and on the conversion of foreign currency into Reais. In the case of the settlement of foreign exchange transactions for the flow of capital into the country, made by foreign investors, for transactions in the financial and capital markets, the applicable rate is 0%. The Brazilian Federal Government is permitted to increase the rate at any time, up to 25%. However, any increase in rates only applies to future transactions.

Taxation of Bonds and Securities Transactions: (IOF/Bonds). Law No. 8,894, dated as of June 21, 1994, created the IOF/Bonds, which may be imposed on any transaction involving bonds and securities, even if the transaction includes Brazilian stock, futures or commodities exchange. The rate of IOF/Bonds with respect to transactions of shares is currently 0%. Regarding the ADSs, under the Decree No. 8,165, from December 23, 2013 which amended the Decree No. 6,306, from December 14, 2007, the IOF/Bonds rate applicable to the transfer of shares listed on the Brazilian stock exchange, with the specific purpose of guaranteeing the issuance of depositary receipts in the foreign market, is currently 0%. The Brazilian government may increase the rate up to 1.5% per day during the terms of the securities, but only with respect to future transactions relating to shares or ADSs.

Other Brazilian Taxes. Some Brazilian states impose gift and inheritance tax on gifts or bequests made by individuals or entities not domiciled or residing in Brazil to individuals or entities domiciled or residing within such states. There are no Brazilian stamp, issue, registration, or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of shares or ADSs.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of our shares or ADSs, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of our shares or ADSs. The discussion applies only to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) that holds our shares or ADSs as capital assets (generally, for investment purposes) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and does not address all the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder in light of its particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as dealers and traders in securities or currencies, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, persons that own, or have owned directly, indirectly or constructively, 10% or more of our voting shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes, persons holding our shares or ADSs as part of a hedging transaction, wash sale, straddle, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, persons entering into a “constructive sale” with respect to our shares or ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes, persons that have a functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes other than the U.S. dollar, persons liable for the alternative minimum tax, certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States, persons who acquired our shares or ADSs pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation, or entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and their partners.

140

Moreover, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, Medicare contribution or alternative minimum tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our shares or ADSs. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our shares or ADSs.

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, in each case as in effect and available on the date hereof. All of the foregoing are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis), or differing interpretations, which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described herein. In addition, this discussion assumes that each obligation provided for in or otherwise contemplated by the Deposit Agreement and any other related document will be performed in accordance with its terms.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our shares or ADSs that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust, if such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and (2) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust.

If a partnership, or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax income tax purposes, holds shares or ADSs, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and on the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding shares or ADSs and partners in such partnerships should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the shares or ADSs.

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any non-U.S., state and local tax jurisdiction.

Ownership of ADSs in general

In general, U.S. Holders of ADSs will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as owners of the shares underlying the ADSs. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized if a U.S. Holder exchanges ADSs for the underlying shares represented by those ADSs or exchanges the underlying shares represented by those ADSs for ADSs.

The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom ADSs are released prior to delivery of shares to the depositary (a “pre-release”) may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits by U.S. Holders of ADSs. Accordingly, the creditability of Brazilian taxes, as described below, could be affected by actions that may be taken by the parties to whom ADSs are pre-released.

Taxation of distributions

Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive foreign investment company”, the gross amount of any distributions made to a U.S. Holder on shares or ADSs, before reduction for any Brazilian taxes, including withholding taxes attributable to interest on equity, will be includable as ordinary dividend income on the day on which the dividends are actually or constructively received by a U.S. Holder to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the shares or ADSs and as a capital gain to the extent it exceeds the U.S. Holder’s basis. We do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, U.S. Holders should expect that distributions by us generally will be treated as dividends to U.S. Holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to applicable limitations, dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for the preferential tax rate currently applicable to certain “qualified dividend income” received by individuals, and dividends paid to corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for the dividends-received-deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.

Dividends paid to U.S. Holders in Reais will be includable in income in a U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of actual or constructive receipt whether or not converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If dividends received in Reais are converted into U.S. dollars on the day they are actually or constructively received, the U.S. Holder generally will not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. Assuming the payment is not converted at that

time, the U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in Reais equal to that U.S. dollar amount, which will be used to measure gain or loss from subsequent changes in exchange rates. Any gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes on a subsequent conversion of Reais into U.S. dollars (or other disposition) generally will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Dividends on our shares or ADSs received by a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as foreign source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Subject to certain conditions and limitations under U.S. federal income tax law concerning credits or deductions for non-U.S. taxes and certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, a Brazilian withholding tax imposed on dividends would be treated as a foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (or at a U.S. Holder’s election may be deducted in computing taxable income if the U.S. Holder has elected to deduct all foreign income taxes for the taxable year). The limitation on foreign income taxes eligible for the U.S. foreign tax credit is calculated separately with respect to specific “baskets” of income. The rules with respect to foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Taxation of sale, exchange or other disposition of shares or ADSs

Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive foreign investment company”, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of a share or ADS equal to the difference between the amount realized (including the gross amount of the proceeds before the reduction of any Brazilian tax) on such sale, exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the share or ADS. Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive foreign investment company”, gain or loss on the disposition of a share or ADS will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the share or ADS for more than one year. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, as the case may be. An individual U.S. Holder may be entitled to preferential rates of taxation for net long-term capital gains; however, the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code.

A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis of shares or ADSs will be the U.S. dollar value of the purchase price determined on the date of purchase. If the shares or ADSs are treated as traded on an “established securities market,” a cash basis U.S. Holder (or, if it elects, an accrual basis U.S. Holder) will determine the U.S. dollar value of the cost of such shares or ADSs by translating the amount paid at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the purchase. The conversion of U.S. dollars to Reais and the immediate use of that currency to purchase shares or ADSs generally will not result in taxable gain or loss for a U.S. Holder.

A U.S. Holder that receives Reais upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of our shares or ADSs will realize an amount equal to the U.S. dollar value of the Reais on the date of sale, exchange, or other disposition. If the shares or ADSs are treated as traded on an “established securities market,” a cash basis U.S. Holder (or, if it elects, an accrual basis U.S. Holder) will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale. A U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the Reais received equal to that U.S. dollar amount. Any gain or loss realized by a U.S. Holder on a subsequent conversion of Reais into U.S. dollars (or other disposition) generally will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

If any gain from the sale or exchange of our shares or ADSs is subject to Brazilian tax, U.S. Holders may not be able to credit such taxes against their U.S. federal income tax liability under the U.S. foreign tax credit limitations of the Code since such gain generally would be U.S. source income, unless such tax can be credited (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. Alternatively, the U.S. Holder may take a deduction for the Brazilian income tax if such holder does not take a credit for any foreign income tax during the taxable year. The rules with respect to foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Passive foreign investment company

In general, certain adverse consequences could apply to a U.S. Holder if we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which the U.S. Holder holds shares or ADSs. A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either (i) at least 75 percent of its gross income consists of passive income, such as dividends, interest, rents, royalties and certain gains, or (ii) at least 50 percent of the average quarterly value of its gross assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income.

Based on a review of our gross income and assets, the manner in which we currently operate our business, the current market price of our shares, and the current interpretation of the PFIC provisions in the Code, we believe that we were not a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the 2013 taxable year. However, the determination as to whether we will be a PFIC for any taxable

142

year is based on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations, depends upon the composition of a company’s income and assets and the market value of its assets from time to time, and is not made until after the end of a taxable year. Consequently, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year.

If we were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held shares or ADSs, a U.S. Holder of shares or ADSs may be subject to imputed interest charges and other generally adverse tax consequences with respect to any gain from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of, and certain excess distributions with respect to, the shares or ADSs. Distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than 125 percent of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of (i) the three preceding taxable years or (ii) a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares or ADSs will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules: (i) the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably to each day in the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares or ADSs, (ii) the amount allocated to the taxable year of disposition, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income, and (iii) the amount allocated to each other taxable year that we were a PFIC will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate applicable to ordinary income for each such earlier taxable year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

If we were a PFIC in any taxable year and provided certain requirements were met, a U.S. Holder might be able to make a mark-to-market election that could alleviate certain of the tax consequences described above. A qualified electing fund election would not be available to U.S. Holders because we do not intend to provide the necessary information to allow U.S. Holders to make such an election for any tax year in which we were to be a PFIC.

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences that would arise if we were treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any applicable information reporting requirements, and the possibility of making a mark-to-market election in order to alleviate certain of these tax consequences.

Foreign tax credit for Brazilian taxes

Any Brazilian IOF/Exchange Tax imposed on a purchase of our shares or ADSs or IOF/Bonds Tax imposed on a transaction (as discussed above under “Brazilian Tax Consequences”) will not be treated as a creditable foreign tax for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of these Brazilian taxes.

Information reporting and backup withholding requirement

Payment of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting and to backup withholding unless (1) the holder is a corporation or other tax exempt recipient or (2) in the case of backup withholding, the holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that such holder is not subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. A holder may be entitled to a refund or credit of any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules against its U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in a timely manner.

In addition, certain U.S. Holders are required to report to the IRS information relating to an interest in the shares or ADSs, subject to exceptions (including an exception for shares or ADSs held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with its tax return for each year in which it held an interest in the shares or ADSs. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this information reporting requirement on their acquisition, ownership and disposition of the shares or ADSs.

I. Subsidiary Information

Not applicable.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The main risks to which the company is exposed reflect strategic/operational and economic/financial aspects. Operational/strategic risks (including, but not limited to, demand behavior, competition, technological innovation, and material changes in the industry structure) are addressed by Ultrapar’s management model. Economic/financial risks primarily reflect default of customers credit quality, behavior of macroeconomic variables, such as exchange and interest rates, as well as the characteristics of the financial instruments used by the company and by their counterparties. These risks are managed through control policies, specific strategies, and establishment of limits.

The company has a conservative policy for the management of resources, financial instruments and risks approved by its Board of Directors (the “Policy”). In accordance with the Policy, the main objectives of financial management are to preserve the value and liquidity of financial assets and ensure financial resources for the development of business, including expansions. The main financial risks considered in the Policy are risks associated with currencies, interest rates, credit and selection of financial instruments. Governance of the management of financial risks and financial instruments follows the segregation of duties below:

• Implementation of the management of financial assets, instruments and risks is the responsibility of the financial area, through its treasury department, with the assistance of the tax and accounting departments;

• Supervision and monitoring of compliance with the principles, guidelines and standards of the Policy is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee composed of members of the company’s executive board (“Committee”). The Committee holds regular meetings and is in charge, among other responsibilities, of discussing and monitoring the financial strategies, existing exposures, and significant transactions involving investment, fund raising, or risk mitigation. The Committee monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis;

• Changes in the Policy, or revisions of its standards are subject to the approval of Board of Directors of Ultrapar;

144

• Continuous enhancement of the Policy is the joint responsibility of the Board of Directors, the Committee, and the financial area; and

• The internal audit department audits the compliance with the requirements of the Policy.

Currency risk

Most business operations of Ultrapar are located in Brazil and, therefore, the reference currency for risk management is the Real. Currency risk management is guided by neutrality of currency exposures and considers the transactional, accounting, and operational risks of Ultrapar and its exposure to changes in exchange rates. The company considers as its main currency exposures the assets and liabilities in foreign currency and the short-term net revenue from sales and services in foreign currency of Oxiteno.

The company uses exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency and net investments in foreign operations, in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on its results and cash flows in Reais within the exposure limits under its Policy. Such foreign exchange hedging instruments have amounts, periods, and rates substantially equivalent to those of assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are stated below, translated into Reais as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Assets and liabilities in foreign currency

In millions of Reais	2013			2012
Assets in foreign currency
Cash, cash equivalents and financial investments in foreign currency (except for hedging instruments)		457.2			363.7
Foreign trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts		156.0			163.2
Net investments in foreign subsidiaries (except cash, cash equivalents, financial investments, trade receivables, financing and payables)		443.4			300.4
		1,056.6			827.3
Liabilities in foreign currency
Financing in foreign currency		(1,294.9	)		(1,197.5	)
Payables arising from imports, net of advances to foreign suppliers		(45.3	)		(21.5	)
		(1,340.2	)		(1,219.0	)
Foreign currency hedging instruments		427.1			499.9
Net asset position — Total		143.5			108.2

Sensitivity analysis of assets and liabilities in foreign currency

The table below shows the effect of exchange rate changes on different scenarios, based on the net asset position of R$ 143.5 million in foreign currency and a 10%, 25% and 50% depreciation and appreciation of the Real exchange rate of December 31, 2013:

In millions of Reais		Scenario I			Scenario II			Scenario III
	Risk	10%			25%			50%
(1) Income effect	Real devaluation		(3.9	)		(9.8	)		(19.6	)
(2) Equity effect			18.2			45.6			91.3
(1) + (2)	Net effect		14.3			35.8			71.7
(3) Income effect	Real appreciation		3.9			9.8			19.6
(4) Equity effect			(18.2	)		(45.6	)		(91.3	)
(3) + (4)	Net effect		(14.3	)		(35.8	)		(71.7	)

145

Gains (losses) directly recognized in equity in cumulative translation adjustments are due to changes in the exchange rate on equity of foreign subsidiaries. See Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Sensitivity analysis of currency derivative instruments

The company uses derivative financial instruments only to hedge against identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). Thus, for purposes of sensitivity analysis of market risks associated with financial instruments, as required by CVM Instruction 475/08, the company analyzes the hedging instrument and the hedged item together, as shown on the charts below.

For the sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange hedging instruments, management adopted as a likely scenario the Real/U.S. dollar exchange rates at maturity of each swap, projected by U.S. dollar futures contracts quoted on BM&FBOVESPA as of December 30, 2013. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$3.18 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional appreciation or depreciation of the Real against the likely scenario, according to the risk to which the hedged item is exposed.

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of December 31, 2013, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Reais and the balance in Reais as of December 31, 2013 were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the change in the values of the main derivative instruments and their hedged items, considering the changes in the exchange rate in the different scenarios:

	Risk	Scenario I (Likely)			Scenario II			Scenario III
	(In millions of Reais)
Currency swaps receivable in U.S. dollars
(1) U.S. dollar / R$ swaps	U.S. dollar appreciation		77.9			230.8			383.8
(2) Debts in U.S. dollars			(77.9	)		(230.8	)		(383.8	)
(1)+(2)	Net Effect		0.0			0.0			0.0
Currency swaps payable in U.S. dollars
(3) Real / U.S. Dollar swaps	U.S. dollar devaluation		(0.4	)		7.4			15.1
(4) Gross margin of Oxiteno			0.4			(7.4	)		(15.1	)
(3)+(4)	Net Effect		0.0			0.0			0.0

For sensitivity analysis of hedging instruments for interest rates in Brazilian Reais, the Company used the futures curve of DI x Pre contract on BM&FBOVESPA as of December 30, 2013 for each of the swap and debt (hedged item) maturities, to determine the likely scenarios. Scenarios II and III were estimated based on a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of the likely scenario pre-fixed interest rate.

Based on the three scenarios of interest rates in Brazilian Reais, the Company estimated the values of its debt and hedging instruments according to the risk which is being hedged (variations in the pre-fixed interest rates in Brazilian Reais), by projecting them to future value at the contracted rates and bringing them to present value at the interest rates of the estimated scenarios. The result is shown in the table below:

	Risk	Scenario I (likely)		Scenario II			Scenario III
	(In millions of Reais)
Interest rate swap (in R$)
(1) Fixed rate swap - CDI	Decrease in Pre-fixed rate		—		21.8			44.8
(2) Fixed rate financing			—		(21.8	)		(44.8	)
(1)+(2)	Net effect		—		(0.0	)		(0.0	)

See Notes 4, 14 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the accounting policies for derivative instruments and information with respect to financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

Ultrapar adopts conservative policies for borrowing and investing financial resources and for capital cost minimization. The financial investments of Ultrapar are primarily held in transactions linked to the CDI. Our borrowings primarily relate to financings from Banco do Brasil S.A., BNDES and other development agencies, debentures and borrowings in foreign currency. Ultrapar does not actively manage risks associated with changes in the level of interest rates and attempts to maintain its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates. As of December 31, 2013, the company had interest rate derivative financial instruments linked to domestic loans, swapping the fixed interest rate of certain debts to floating interest rate (CDI). See Notes 4, 14 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

The table below provides information as of December 31, 2013 about our debt obligations in foreign currency and in Reais that are subject to variable and fixed rates of interest. The table summarizes information on instruments and transactions that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates:

(1) Figures include interest accrued through December 31, 2013.

(2) For the principal amount of R$905.9 million, a hedging instrument was used with the objective of swapping the fixed to floating rate, equivalent to 99.3% of CDI on average.

147

Credit risk

The financial instruments that would expose the company to credit risks of the counterparty are basically represented by cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, hedging instruments and accounts receivable.

Customer credit risk — Such risks are managed by each business unit through specific criteria for acceptance of customers and credit rating and are additionally mitigated by diversification of sales. As of December 31, 2013, the provision for potential loss on their accounts and assets receivables recorded for Ipiranga, Ultragaz, Oxiteno and Ultracargo were R$121.2 million, R$20.8 million, R$2.6 million and R$2.5 million, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2013, no single customer or group accounts for more than 2% of total revenue.

Credit risk of financial institutions — Such risk results from the inability of financial institutions to comply with their financial obligations to the company due to insolvency. The company regularly conducts a credit review of the institutions with which they hold cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments through various methodologies that assess liquidity, solvency, leverage, portfolio quality, etc. Cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are held only with institutions with a solid credit history, chosen for safety and soundness. The volumes of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are subject to maximum limits by institution and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

Government credit risk — The company’s Policy allows investments in government securities from countries classified as investment grade AAA or Aaa by specialized credit rating agencies and in Brazilian government bonds. The volume of such financial investments is subject to maximum limits by each country and, therefore, requires diversification of counterparties.

Liquidity risk

The company main sources of liquidity derive from (i) cash, cash equivalents and financial investments, (ii) cash generated from operations and (iii) financings. The company believes that these sources are sufficient to satisfy its current funding requirements, which include, but are not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, amortization of debt and payment of dividends.

The company periodically examines opportunities for acquisitions and investments. The company considers different types of investments, either directly or through joint ventures, or associated companies, and finance such investments using cash generated from operations, debt financing, through capital increases or through a combination of these methods.

The company believes it has sufficient working capital to satisfy its current needs. As of December 31, 2013, the gross indebtedness due from January 1 to December 31, 2014 totaled R$2,056.9 million, including estimated interests on loans. Furthermore, the investment plan for 2014 totals R$1,484.0 million. On December 31, 2013, the company and its subsidiaries had R$3,425.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term financial investments (see Notes 4 and 14 to our consolidated financial statements).

For further information on financial liabilities as of December 31, 2013, see Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Capital management

The company manages its capital structure based on indicators and benchmarks. The key performance indicators related to the capital structure management are the weighted average cost of capital, and the net debt/EBITDA, interest coverage and indebtedness/equity ratios. Net debt is composed of cash, cash equivalents and financial investments (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements) and loans, debentures and finance leases (see Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements). We believe the company can change its capital structure depending on economic and financial conditions, in order to optimize its financial leverage and capital management. The company seeks to improve its return on capital employed by implementing an efficient working capital management and a selective investment program.

Selection and use of financial instruments

In selecting financial investments and hedging instruments, an analysis is conducted to estimate rates of return, risks involved, liquidity, calculation methodology for the carrying value and fair value, and documentation applicable to the financial instruments. The financial instruments used to manage the financial resources of the company are intended to preserve value and liquidity.

148

The Policy contemplates the use of derivative financial instruments only to cover identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). The risks identified in the Policy are described in the above sections, and are subject to risk management. In accordance with the Policy, the company can use forward contracts, swaps, options, and futures contracts to manage identified risks. Leveraged derivative instruments are not permitted. Because the use of derivative financial instruments is limited to the coverage of identified risks, the company uses the term “hedging instruments” to refer to derivative financial instruments.

The Committee monitors compliance with the risk standards established by the Policy through a risk monitoring map, including the use of hedging instruments, on a monthly basis. In addition, the internal audit department verifies the compliance with the requirements of the Policy.

The table below summarizes the position of hedging instruments adopted by the company:

All transactions mentioned above were properly registered with CETIP S.A. (the Brazilian over-the-counter clearing house).

Hedge accounting

The company tests, throughout the duration of the hedge, the effectiveness of its derivatives, as well as the changes in their fair values. The company designates as fair value hedges certain derivative financial instruments used to offset the variations in interest and exchange rates, based on the market value of financing contracted in Reais and U.S. dollars.

On December 31, 2013, the notional amount of interest rate hedging instruments totaled R$627.5 million referring to the principal of the pre-fixed loans in Reais. In 2013, a loss of R$18.0 million related to the result of hedging instruments, an income of R$69.9 million related to the fair value adjustment of debt and an expense of R$131.7 million related to the accrued interest rate of the debt were recognized in the income statements, turning the average effective cost of the operations into 98.8% of CDI.

On December 31, 2013, the notional amount of foreign exchange hedging instruments designated as fair value hedge totaled US$80.0 million. In 2013, a gain of R$15.4 million related to the result of hedging instruments, an expense of R$2.7 million related to the fair value adjustment of debt and an expense of R$26.1 million related to the financial expense of the debt were recognized in the income statements, turning the average effective cost of the operation into 104.1% of CDI.

On December 31, 2013 the notional amount of exchange rate hedging instruments designated as hedges of net investment in a foreign operation totaled US$35 million relating to the portion of investments in entities which have functional currency different from the Real. In 2013 expenses of R$1.7 million were recorded. The exchange rate on investment and the hedging instrument effects were offset under shareholders’ equity.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2013, under management’s supervision and with its participation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures for the period relating to the information contained in this 20F report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that (a) our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013 to enable the company to record, process, summarize, and report information required to be included in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods required and (b) our disclosure controls and procedures were also effective as of December 31, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Ultrapar’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Management evaluated the internal control over financial reporting under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO as of December 31, 2013. Management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Ultrapar’s management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting were effective, based on such criteria.

(c) Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Report of independent registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Auditores Independentes (“Deloitte”), is presented below.

153

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Ultrapar Participações S.A.

São Paulo - SP - Brazil

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Ultrapar Participações S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission — COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board — PCAOB (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission — COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board — PCAOB (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 of the Company and our report, dated April 30, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph related to the Company’s adoption of new and amended accounting standards as discussed in Note 2.v) to the consolidated financial statements.

(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

154

ITEM 16. [RESERVED]

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Our fiscal council acts as an audit committee pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Under Rule 10A-3(c)(3) of the Exchange Act, non-U.S. issuers, such as Ultrapar, are exempt from the audit committee requirements of Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual if they establish, according to their local law or regulations, another body that acts as an audit committee. See “Item 6.C. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Board Practices”

Ultrapar has determined that it will not appoint an audit committee financial expert, as Brazilian law does not require a fiscal council member to have the same attributes of such a financial expert. However, the company believes that its fiscal council members have broad commercial experience and extensive business leadership, having held various roles in accountancy, financial management and supervision, treasury and corporate finance. For example, one member of the company’s fiscal council is a former partner of a major audit firm. In addition, other members of the company’s fiscal council have served as the chief financial officer of major Brazilian companies and as a member of the board of directors and fiscal council in a major Brazilian bank. We believe that there is a broad and suitable mix of business and financial experience on the fiscal council.

Notwithstanding the above, our bylaws provides for an audit committee to be appointed by the Board of Directors which will only be installed during the periods when the fiscal council is not installed. See “Item 6. Directors, senior management and employees reference — Board Practices — Fiscal Council and Audit Committee Exemption.” We currently have a fiscal council installed.

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

In 2004, we established a code of ethics which covered (i) the Board of Directors; (ii) the whole executive board (including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer); (iii) the fiscal council of Ultrapar; (iv) the Board of Directors and executive board of its subsidiaries; and (v) remaining bodies with technical or advisory functions that are directly subordinated to the Board of Directors, to the executive board or to the fiscal committee of Ultrapar. Our code of ethics was amended on June 17, 2009 to (i) improve certain existing items of the code by including examples of acceptable or unacceptable behavior and clarifying the language to avoid misunderstanding of such items and (ii) improve access to the channel for reporting non-compliance with the code. On July 31, 2013, we amended our Code of Ethics in order to increase the number of permanent members of the Conduct Committee from three to four members. For the complete amended Code of Ethics please see our 6-K furnished to the SEC on August 1, 2013. The objective of this code is (i) to reduce the subjectivity of personal interpretations of ethical principles; (ii) to be a formal and institutional benchmark for the professional conduct of the employees, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interests, becoming a standard for the internal and external relationship of Ultrapar with its stakeholders, namely: shareholders, clients, employees, partners, suppliers, service providers, labor unions, competitors, society, government and the communities in which it operates; and (iii) to ensure that the daily concerns with efficiency, competitiveness and profitability do not override ethical behavior.

You can obtain a copy of our code of ethics, free of charge, at our website (www.ultra.com.br), or by requesting a copy from the Investor Relations Department (e-mail: invest@ultra.com.br).

ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The relationship with our independent registered public accounting firm in respect to the contracting of services unrelated to the external audit is based on principles that preserve the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. Our Board of Directors approves our financial statements, the performance by our independent registered public accounting firm of audit and permissible non-audit services, and associated fees, supported by our fiscal council, which acts as an audit committee pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. See “Item 6.C. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Board Practices — Fiscal Council and Audit Committee Exemption” for more information about the responsibilities of the fiscal council. Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were audited by the independent registered public accounting firm Deloitte. Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 were audited by the independent registered public accounting firm KPMG Auditores Independentes (“KPMG”).

155

The following table describes the total amount billed to us by Deloitte for services performed in 2013 and 2012 and the respective compensation for these services.

	2013		2012
	(in thousands of Reais)
Audit Fees(1)		4,714.4		3,064.0
Audit Related Fees		—		—
Tax Fees		156.6		136.0
All Other Fees		—		—
Total Consolidated Audit Fees		4,874.0		3,200.0

(1) Includes services in the amount of R$ 1.1 million related to auditing fees of the special purpose interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 to comply with the requirements of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) Instruction 319/99 for the merger of shares of Extrafarma by Ultrapar.

“Audit Fees” are the aggregate fees billed by independent registered public accounting firms for the audit of our consolidated and annual financial statements, reviews of interim financial information and attestation services that are provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. “Tax Fees” are fees charged by Deloitte in connection with assurance of VAT from off-shore companies and other tax compliance services.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Ultrapar and its subsidiaries did not contract for any service from their independent registered public accounting firm that was not directly linked to the auditing of financial statements.

ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

Our fiscal council meets the requirements for exemption from audit committee independence pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Under Rule 10A-3(c)(3) of the Exchange Act, non-U.S. issuers, such as Ultrapar, are exempt from the audit committee independence requirements of Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual if they establish, according to their local law or regulations, another body that meets certain requirements. See “Item 6.C. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Board Practices — Fiscal Council and Audit Committee Exemption.”

The fiscal council currently in office meets the following requirements of the general exemption contained in Rule 10A-3(c)(3):

• the fiscal council is established pursuant to Brazilian Corporate Law and our bylaws;

• under the requirements of Brazilian Corporate Law, our fiscal council is a separate body from our Board of Directors;

• the fiscal council was not elected by Ultrapar’s management and no executive officer of Ultrapar is a member of the fiscal council;

• all of the members of the fiscal council meet the independence requirements from Ultrapar, the management and the independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth by Brazilian Corporate Law and/or listing provisions in Brazil;

• the fiscal council makes recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the appointment, retention and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing audit reports for Ultrapar;

• the fiscal council adopted a complaints procedure in accordance with Rule 10A-3(b)(3) of the Exchange Act;

• the fiscal council is authorized to engage independent counsel and other advisers, as it deems appropriate; and

• Ultrapar has provided for appropriate funding, as determined by the fiscal council, for the payment of (i) compensation to Ultrapar’s independent registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of issuing audit reports, (ii) compensation to independent counsel and other advisers engaged by the fiscal council, and (iii) ordinary administrative expenses of the fiscal council in carrying out its duties.

Ultrapar’s reliance on Rule 10A-3(c)(3) does not, in its opinion, materially adversely affect the ability of its fiscal council to act independently and to satisfy the other requirements of Rule 10A-3.

ITEM 16E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS

We did not purchase any share issued by the company in 2013.

ITEM 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Not applicable.

156

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Under the rules of the NYSE, foreign private issuers are subject to a more limited set of corporate governance requirements than are U.S. domestic issuers. As a foreign private issuer, we must comply with four principal NYSE corporate governance rules: (i) we must satisfy the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10A–3 relating to audit committees; (ii) our Chief Executive Officer must promptly notify the NYSE after any executive officer becomes aware of any material noncompliance with the applicable NYSE rules; (iii) we must provide the NYSE with annual and interim written affirmations; and (iv) we must provide a brief description of any significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. companies under NYSE listing standards.

The significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE corporate governance standards are as follows:

Independence of Directors

NYSE rules require that a majority of the Board of Directors must consist of independent directors as defined under NYSE rules. Under Brazilian Corporate Law, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors. According to the rules of Novo Mercado, at least 20% of the members of the Board of Directors must meet the independence requirements as established set forth these rules. Furthermore, according to our bylaws, at least 30% of the members of the Board of Directors must be independent. The Brazilian Corporate Law requires that our directors be elected by our shareholders at a general shareholders’ meeting. As of December 31, 2013, our Board of Directors consisted of nine members, five of whom were independent non-executive members and four are shareholders of Ultra S.A. Two of these four non-independent board members were executive officers of Ultrapar until December 2006 and one of them was executive officer of Ultrapar until December 2012. See “Item 6.C. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Board Practices” and “Exhibit 1.1 — Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of January 31, 2014.”

No member of the Board has any material relationship with the company, either directly or as a partner or officer of an organization that has relationship with Ultrapar, except for their interest as shareholders of Ultrapar. The Brazilian Corporate Law, the rules of Novo Mercado and CVM establish rules relating to the qualification of the members of our Board of Directors and our executive officers, including their compensation, duties and responsibilities. We believe these rules provide adequate assurances that our directors are independent according to the independence tests established by the NYSE.

Executive Sessions

NYSE rules require that the non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management present. Such provision does not apply to Ultrapar given that none of our directors is currently an executive officer of the company.

Committees

NYSE rules require that U.S. domestic listed companies have a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, we are not required to have a nominating committee, a corporate governance committee or a compensation committee. Our bylaws provides for a compensation and an audit committee, as ancillary bodies of the Board of Directors. See “Item 6.C. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Board Practices” and “Exhibit 1.1 — Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of January 31, 2014”.

Our compensation committee consists of Lucio de Castro Andrade Filho, Nildemar Secches and Renato Ochman, who are also members of the Board of Directors.

Fiscal Council and Audit Committee

U.S. domestic listed companies must have an audit committee with a minimum of three independent directors who are financially literate and who satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A–3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

157

However, as the Brazilian Corporate Law requires the establishment of a corporate body whose duties are similar to those established by the Exchange Act (the fiscal council), we may be exempt from the requirements of Rule 10A–3 if we satisfy the conditions of Rule 10A–3(c)(3) of the Exchange Act.

Our fiscal council currently in office satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A–3(c)(3) of the Exchange Act. Our fiscal council consists of three members and their respective alternate members, and it is a separate corporate body independent from our management. The members of our fiscal council are elected by our shareholders at the annual general shareholders’ meeting for one-year terms and are eligible for reelection. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, individuals who are members of the Board of Directors or are executive officers or employees or spouses or relatives of any member of the company’s management are not eligible to serve on the fiscal council.

Our fiscal council acts on a non-permanent basis. In addition, our bylaws establish an audit committee as an ancillary body of the Board of Directors. As determined by our bylaws, in the event the fiscal council is established as set forth in the Brazilian Corporate Law, the fiscal council shall operate as the audit committee exercising all the duties provided for in our bylaws as required of the audit committee, and with respect to its members, subject to all the requirements and limitations provided for by law. The audit committee will not operate in any fiscal year when a fiscal council is installed. See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company – New corporate governance structure” and “Exhibit 1.1 — Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of January 31, 2014”.

For more information see “Item 6.C. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Board Practices — Fiscal Council and Audit Committee Exemption” and “Exhibit 1.1 — Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of January 31, 2014”.

Shareholder Approval of Equity Compensation Plans

NYSE rules require that equity compensation plans for U.S. domestic listed companies be subject to shareholder approval, with limited exceptions. In November 2003, our shareholders approved the Deferred Stock Plan. In accordance with the Deferred Stock Plan, the Board of Directors determines the eligible participants and the number of shares to which each participant shall have rights. See “Item 6.B. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Compensation”.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

NYSE rules require that U.S. domestic listed companies adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. We have adopted corporate governance guidelines set out by our Board of Directors or required by the Brazilian Corporate Law, the CVM and BM&FBOVESPA and which we believe are consistent with best practices, such as the 100% tag along rights to all shareholders, the implementation of a code of ethics, and the adoption of the Policy of Disclosure of Material Acts or Facts, which deals with the public disclosure of all relevant information and the trading of shares issued by Ultrapar as per CVM Instruction No. 358.

Since June 28, 2011, we have been listed on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA. According to the rules of Novo Mercado the minimum percentage of independent members of the Board of Directors is set at 20%, while a minimum of 30% is required in our bylaws. Our bylaws also establish (i) a mandatory tender offer to 100% of the company’s shareholders in the event a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert, acquire or become holder of 20% of the company’s shares, excluding treasury shares, and (ii) creation of audit and compensation committees, as ancillary bodies of the Board of Directors. Our bylaws do not establish any limitation on voting rights, special treatment to current shareholders, public tender offers for a price above that of the acquisition price of shares or any other poison pill provisions, thus assuring the effectiveness of a majority shareholders’ approval on all matters to be deliberated. See “Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company – New corporate governance structure” and “Exhibit 1.1 — Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of January 31, 2014”.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

NYSE rules require that U.S. domestic listed companies adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees. In 2004 we established a code of ethics, which was amended on June 17, 2009 and further amended on July 31, 2013. For the complete amended code of ethics please see our 6K furnished to the SEC on August 1, 2013. The main objectives of this code is (i) to reduce the subjectivity of personal interpretations of ethical principles; and (ii) to be a formal and institutional benchmark for the professional conduct of our employees, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interests, becoming a standard for the internal and external relationship of the company with its stakeholders. See “Item 16.B. — Code of Ethics”.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board—PCAOB (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ultrapar Participações S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards—IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board—IASB.

Notes to the financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

1. Operations

Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Ultrapar” or “Company”), is a publicly-traded company headquartered at the Brigadeiro Luis Antônio Avenue, 1343 in the city of Săo Paulo – SP, Brazil.

The Company engages in the investment of its own capital in services, commercial and industrial activities, by the subscription or acquisition of shares of other companies. Through its subsidiaries, it operates in the segments of liquefied petroleum gas - LPG distribution (“Ultragaz”), fuel distribution and related businesses (“Ipiranga”), production and marketing of chemicals (“Oxiteno”), and storage services for liquid bulk (“Ultracargo”). The Company also operates in oil refining through its joint venture in Refinaria de Petróleo Riograndense S.A. (“RPR”).

On September 30, 2013, in order to operate in the retail and wholesale pharmacy segment, Ultrapar signed an association agreement with Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos e Cosméticos S.A. (“Extrafarma”), which operates a drugstore chain in Brazil through the brand Extrafarma. The closing of the transaction occurred on January 31, 2014 (see Note 31 – Subsequent events).

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the Brazilian Real (“R$”), which is the Company’s functional currency.

The accounting policies described below were applied by the Company and its subsidiaries in a consistent manner for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

a. Recognition of income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of sales returns, discounts and other deductions, if applicable.

Revenue and cost of sales are recognized when all risks and benefits associated with the products are transferred to the purchaser. Revenue from services provided and their costs are recognized when the services are provided. Costs of products and services sold provided include goods (mainly fuels/lubricants and LPG), raw materials (chemicals and petrochemicals) and production, distribution, storage and filling costs.

b. Cash and cash equivalents

Include cash, banks deposits and short-term highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. See Note 4 for further details on cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries.

c. Financial instruments

In accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 32, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, the financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries are classified in accordance with the following categories:

• Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets and liabilities held for trading, that is, acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, and derivatives. The balances are stated at fair value. The interest earned, the exchange variation and changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

• Held to maturity: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, and fixed maturities for which the entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. The interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned, using the effective interest rate method.

• Available for sale: non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or that are not classified into other categories at initial recognition. The balances are stated at fair value and the interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss. Differences between fair value and acquisition cost plus the interest earned are recognized in other comprehensive income in the shareholders’ equity. Accumulated gains and losses recognized in the shareholders’ equity are reclassified to profit or loss in case of prepayment.

• Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments or receipts, not quoted in an active market, except: (i) those which the entity intends to sell immediately or in the near term and which the entity classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) those classified as available for sale; or (iii) those for which the Company may not recover substantially all of its initial investment for reasons other than credit deterioration. The interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss. The balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interests, using the effective interest rate method. Loans and receivables include cash and banks, trade receivables, dividends receivable and other trade receivables.

The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes, applying the concepts described below:

• Fair value hedge: derivative financial instrument used to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of an item, attributable to a particular risk, which can affect the entity’s profit or loss.

• Hedge accounting - fair value hedge: in the initial designation of the fair value hedge, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item is documented, including the objectives of risk management, the strategy in conducting the transaction and the methods to be used to evaluate its effectiveness. Once the fair value hedge has been qualified as effective, the hedge item is also measured at fair value. Gains and losses from hedge instruments and hedge items are recognized in profit or loss. The hedge accounting must be discontinued when the hedge becomes ineffective.

• Hedge accounting - hedge of net investments in foreign operation: derivative financial instrument used to hedge exposure on net investments in foreign subsidiaries due to the fact that the local functional currency is different from the functional currency of the Company. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be effective is recognized directly in equity in accumulated other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive income shall be recognized in income upon disposal of the foreign operation.

For further detail on financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries, see Notes 4, 14, and 22.

d. Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognized at the amount invoiced, adjusted to present value if applicable, including all direct taxes attributable to the Company and its subsidiaries. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on estimated losses and is set at an amount deemed by management to be sufficient to cover any probable loss on realization of trade receivables (see Note 22 - Customer credit risk).

e. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of acquisition cost or net realizable value. The cost value of inventory is measured using the weighted average cost and includes the costs of acquisition and processing directly related to the units produced based on the normal capacity of production. Estimates of net realizable value are based on the average selling prices at the end of the reporting period, net of applicable direct selling expenses. Subsequent events related to the fluctuation of prices and costs are also considered, if relevant. If net realizable values are below inventory costs, a provision corresponding to this difference is recognized. Provisions are also made for obsolescence of products, materials or supplies that (i) do not meet the Company and its subsidiaries’ specifications, (ii) have exceeded their expiration date or (iii) are considered slow-moving inventory. This classification is made by management with the support of its industrial team.

 f. Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Company and its subsidiaries has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting (see Note 11).

Other investments are stated at acquisition cost less provision for losses, unless the loss is considered temporary.

g. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recognized at acquisition or construction cost, including financial charges incurred on property, plant and equipment under construction, as well as maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages and estimated costs to remove, to decommission or to restore assets (see Note 18).

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, for the periods mentioned in Note 12, taking into account the useful life of the assets, which are reviewed annually.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease contract term and useful life of the property.

h. Leases

• Finance leases

Certain lease contracts transfer substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of an asset to the Company and its subsidiaries. These contracts are characterized as finance leases, and assets thereunder are capitalized at lease commencement at their fair value or, if lower, present value of the minimum lease payments under the contracts. The items recognized as assets are depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method based on the useful lives applicable to each group of assets as mentioned in Notes 12 and 13. Financial charges under the finance lease contracts are allocated to profit or loss over the lease contract term, based on the amortized cost and the effective interest rate method of the related lease obligation (see Note 14.i).

• Operating leases

There are lease transactions where the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset are not transferred and where there is no purchase option or the purchase option at the end of the contract is equivalent to the market value of the leased asset. Payments made under an operating lease contract are recognized as cost or expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract (see Note 23.g).

i. Intangible assets

Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, according to the criteria below (see Note 13):

• Goodwill is carried net of accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2008, when it ceased to be amortized. Goodwill generated since January 1, 2009 is shown as intangible asset corresponding to the positive difference between the amount paid or payable to the seller and the fair values of the identiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity, and is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the respective cash generating units (“CGU”) for impairment testing purposes.

• Bonus disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller service stations and major consumers are recognized as distribution rights when paid and amortized using the straight-line method according to the term of the agreement.

• Other intangible assets acquired from third parties, such as software, technology and commercial property rights, are measured at the total acquisition cost and amortized using straight-line method, for the periods mentioned in Note 13, taking into account their useful life, which is reviewed annually.

The Company and its subsidiaries have not recognized intangible assets that were created internally. The Company and its subsidiaries have not recognized intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, except for goodwill and the “am/pm” brand.

 j. Other assets

Other assets are stated at the lower of cost and realizable value, including, if applicable, interest earned, monetary changes and changes in exchange rates incurred or less a provision for loss and, if applicable, adjustment to present value (see Note 2.u).

k. Financial liabilities

The Company and its subsidiaries’ financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables, loans, debentures and hedging instruments. Financial liabilities are classified as “financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” or “financial liabilities at amortized cost”. The financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss refer to derivative financial instruments and financial liabilities designated as hedged items in a fair value hedge relationship upon initial recognition (see Note 2.c – fair value hedge). The financial liabilities at amortized cost are stated at the initial transaction amount plus related charges and transaction costs, net of amortization. The charges are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method (see Note 14.j).

Transaction costs incurred and directly attributable to the activities necessary for contracting loans or for issuing bonds, as well as premiums and discounts upon issuance of debentures and other debt or equity instruments, are allocated to the instrument and amortized to profit or loss over its term, using the effective interest rate method.

l. Income and social contribution taxes on income

Current income tax (“IRPJ”) and social contribution on net income tax (“CSLL”) are calculated based on taxable profit of the year, which differs from profit before taxes as reported in the statement of income because of items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible, and considering the value of tax incentives. Taxes are recognized based on the rates of IRPJ and CSLL provided for by the laws enacted on the last day of the reporting period. The current rates in Brazil are 25% for income tax and 9% for social contribution on net income tax. For further details about recognition and realization of IRPJ and CSLL, see Note 9.

The Company and its subsidiaries recognize deferred taxes resulting from tax loss carryforwards, temporary differences, negative tax bases and revaluation of property, plant and equipment, among others. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

m. Provision for assets retirement obligation – fuel tanks

The Company and its subsidiaries have the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded service stations after a certain period. The estimated cost of the obligation to remove these fuel tanks is recognized as a liability when tanks are installed. The estimated cost is recognized in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the respective useful life of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are monetarily restated until the respective tank is removed (see Note 18). An increase in the estimated cost of the obligation to remove the tanks could result in negative impact in future results. The estimated removal cost is reviewed and updated annually or when there is significant change in its amount.

n. Provisions for tax, civil and labor risks

A provision for tax, civil and labor risks is recognized for quantifiable risks, when the chance of loss is more-likely-than-not in the opinion of management and internal and external legal counsel, and the amounts are recognized based on evaluation of the outcomes of the legal proceedings (see Note 23 items a,b,c,d).

o. Post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits granted and to be granted to employees, retirees, and pensioners are based on an actuarial calculation prepared by an independent actuary, using the projected unit credit method (see Note 24.b). The actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the shareholder’s equity. Past service cost is recognized through the income statement.

p. Other liabilities

Other liabilities are stated at known or measurable amounts plus, if applicable, related charges, monetary restatement and changes in exchange rates incurred. When applicable, other liabilities are recognized at present value based on interest rates that reflect the term, currency and risk of each transaction.

q. Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries are remeasured into their functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of each transaction. Outstanding monetary assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. The effect of the difference between those exchange rates is recognized in profit or loss until the conclusion of each transaction.

r. Basis for translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries

Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries, denominated in currencies other than that of the Company (functional currency: Brazilian Real), which have administrative autonomy, are translated using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate of each period and shareholders’ equity are translated at the historic exchange rate of each transaction affecting shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments and will be recognized in profit or loss if these investments are disposed of. The recognized balance in other comprehensive income and presented in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments as of December 31, 2013 was a gain of R$ 38,076 (gain of R$ 12,621 as of December 31, 2012 and loss of R$ 4,426 on January 1, 2012).

The foreign subsidiaries with functional currency different from the Company and which have administrative autonomy, are listed below:

Subsidiary	Functional currency	Location
Oxiteno México S.A. de C.V.	Mexican Peso	Mexico
Oxiteno Servicios Corporativos S.A. de C.V.	Mexican Peso	Mexico
Oxiteno Servicios Industriales de C.V.	Mexican Peso	Mexico
Oxiteno USA LLC	U.S. Dollar	United States
Oxiteno Andina, C.A.	Bolivar	Venezuela
Oxiteno Uruguay S.A.	U.S. Dollar	Uruguay

Notes to the financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

According to IAS 29, Venezuela is classified as a hyperinflationary economy. As a result, the financial statements of Oxiteno Andina, C.A. (“Oxiteno Andina”) were adjusted by the Venezuelan Consumer Price Index.

The subsidiary Oxiteno Uruguay S.A. (“Oxiteno Uruguay”) determined its functional currency as the U.S. dollar, as its sales and purchases of goods, and financing activities are performed substantially in this currency.

Assets and liabilities of the other foreign subsidiaries, which do not have administrative autonomy, are considered as an extension of the activities of their parent company and are translated using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as financial income or loss. The gain recognized in income in 2013 amounted to R$ 4,845 (R$ 2,347 gain in 2012 and R$ 1,811 gain in 2011).

s. Use of estimates, assumptions and judgments

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments for the accounting of certain assets, liabilities and income. Therefore, Company and subsidiaries’ management use the best information available at the time of preparation of the financial statements, as well as the experience of past and current events, also considering assumptions regarding future events. The financial statements therefore include estimates, assumptions and judgments related mainly to determining the fair value of financial instruments (Notes 4, 14 and 22), the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts (Notes 5 and 22), the determination of provisions for losses of inventories (Note 6), the determination of deferred income taxes amounts (Note 9), the useful life of property, plant and equipment (Note 12), the useful life of intangible assets and the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill (Note 13), provisions for assets retirement obligations (Note 18), tax, civil and labor provisions (Note 23 items a,b,c,d) and estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Note 24.b). The actual result of the transactions and information may differ from their estimates.

t. Impairment of assets

The Company and its subsidiaries review, at least annually, the existence of indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. Assets that cannot be evaluated individually are grouped in the smallest group of assets that generate cash flow from continuous use and that are largely independent of cash flows of other assets (CGU). The recoverable amount of assets or CGUs corresponds to the greater of their fair value net of applicable direct selling costs and their value in use.

The fair value less costs of disposal is determined by the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, net of costs of removing the asset, and direct incremental costs to bring an asset into condition for its sale, legal costs and taxes.

To assess the value in use, the Company and its subsidiaries consider the projections of future cash flows, trends and outlooks, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Such cash flows are discounted to their present values using the discount rate before tax that reflects market conditions for the period of impairment testing and the specific risks of the asset or CGU being evaluated. In cases where the expected discounted future cash flows are less than their carrying amount, the impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of these assets. Losses for impairment of assets are recognized in profit or loss. In case goodwill has been allocated to a CGU, the recognized losses are first allocated to reduce the corresponding goodwill. If the goodwill is not enough to absorb such losses, the surplus is allocated to the assets on a pro-rata basis. An impairment of goodwill cannot be reversed. For other assets, impairment losses may be reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if the impairment had not been recognized.

No impairment was recognized in the periods presented (see Note 13.i).

u. Adjustment to present value

Some of the Company’s subsidiaries recognized a present value adjustment to Tax on Goods and Services (“ICMS”, the Brazilian VAT) credit balances related to property, plant and equipment (CIAP – see Note 7). Because recovery of these credits occurs over a 48 months period, the present value adjustment reflects, in the financial statements, the time value of the ICMS credits to be recovered. The balance of these adjustment to present value totalized R$ 354 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 747 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 3,007 as of January 1, 2012).

The Company and its subsidiaries reviewed all items classified as non-current and, when relevant, current assets and liabilities and did not identify the need to recognize other present value adjustments.

v. Adoption of the pronouncements issued by IFRS

The following standards are effective on January 1st, 2013 and have impacted the Company’s financial statements previously disclosed for December 31, 2012 and 2011.

(1) adoption of IFRS 11 - Joint arrangements: the investments in RPR, Maxfácil Participações S.A. (“Maxfácil”), Uniăo Vopak Armazéns Gerais Ltda. (“Uniăo Vopak”) and ConectCar Soluções de Mobilidade Eletrônica S.A. (“Conectcar”) are no longer proportionally consolidated and are accounted for using the equity method.

(2) amendments to IAS 19 (Revised 2011) - Employee benefits: actuarial gains and losses are no longer recognized in the income statement and are recognized in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income. Past service costs are recognized in retained earnings within shareholders’ equity in the date of transition. From the date of transition, past service costs will be recognized in income statements when measured.

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 11 and IAS 19 (Revised 2011), the corresponding figures relating to the prior years, presented as comparative information, have been adjusted and are restated as required by international standard IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and international standard IAS 1 (Revised 2007) - Presentation of Financial Statements.

Notes to the financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

The following standards were effective and adopted by the Company on January 1st, 2013 and have impacted only presentation and disclosure of financial statements, without impacting the recognition and measurement criteria:

• Consolidated financial statements – IFRS 10 and transition guidance: provides a single consolidation model that identifies control as the basis for consolidation for all types of entities.

• Disclosure of interests in other entities – IFRS 12 and transition guidance: expands the current disclosure requirements in respect of entities where the Company has influence.

• Amendments to IAS 27 – Separate financial statements: IAS 27 requirements related to consolidated financial statements are replaced by IFRS 10. The requirements for separate financial statements are maintained.

• Amendments to IAS 28 – Investments in associates and joint ventures: revision of IAS 28 to include the changes introduced by IFRSs 10, 11 and 12.

• Fair value measurement – IFRS 13: replaces and consolidates in a single standard all the guidance and requirements in respect of fair value measurement contained in other IFRSs. IFRS 13 defines fair value and provides guidance on how to measure fair value and requirements for disclosure relating to fair value measurement. However, it does not introduce any new requirement or amendment with respect to items to be measured at fair value.

• Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements: other comprehensive income: introduces the requirement that all items recognized in other comprehensive income be separated into and totaled as items that are and items that are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.

• Amendments to IFRS 7 – Financial instruments: offsetting financial assets and liabilities: requires information about all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32.

Certain standards, amendments and interpretations to IFRS issued by IASB that have been issued but are not yet effective were not applied as of December 31, 2013, as follows:

	Effective date
Amendments to IAS 32 – Financial instruments: presentation: provides clarifications on the application of the offsetting rules.		2014
IFRS 9 (and corresponding 2010 and 2013 amendments) – Financial instruments’ classification and measurement: includes new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, derecognition requirements, new impairment methodology for financial instruments and new hedge accounting guidance (as issued in November, 2013).		2015	(*)

(*) the amendments issued by the IASB in November, 2013 removed the January 1^st, 2015 mandatory effective date.

The Company is assessing the potential effects of these standards.

x. Authorization for issuance of the financial statements

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Officers on April 30, 2014.

3. Principles of consolidation and investments in subsidiaries

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of a subsidiary. Income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared following the basic principles of consolidation established by IFRS 10. Investments of one company in another, balances of asset and liability accounts and revenues and expenses were eliminated, as well as the effects of transactions conducted between the companies. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented within consolidated shareholders’ equity and net income.

The consolidated financial statements include the following direct and indirect subsidiaries:

c) Business combination – acquisition of Repsol Gás Brasil S.A.

On October 20, 2011, the Company, through its subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz, acquired a 100% equity interest in Repsol Gás Brasil S.A. (“Repsol”). The total acquisition amount was R$ 49,822. This acquisition strengthens Ultragaz’s bulk LPG business, providing economies of scale in logistics and management, and a better position for growth in the bulk segment in the Southeast. After the acquisition, its name was changed to Distribuidora de Gás LP Azul S.A.

The purchase price paid for the shares was allocated among the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, measured at fair value. During the process of identification of assets and liabilities, intangible assets which were not recognized in the acquired entity’s books were also taken into account. The goodwill is R$ 13,403. The additional value for the assets acquired, which was determined by an independent appraiser and amounts R$ 16,555 based on its report, reflects the difference between the fair value and the book value of such assets. The table below summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

c. Deferred Stock Plan

On April 27, 2001, the General Shareholders’ Meeting approved a benefit plan to members of management and employees in executive positions in the Company and its subsidiaries. On November 26, 2003, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting approved certain amendments to the original plan of 2001 (the “Deferred Stock Plan”). In the Deferred Stock Plan, certain members of management of the Company and its subsidiaries have the voting and economic rights of shares and the ownership of these shares is retained by the subsidiaries of the Company. The Deferred Stock Plan provides for the transfer of the ownership of the shares to those eligible members of management after five to ten years from the initial concession of the rights subject to uninterrupted employment of the participant during the period. The total number of shares to be used for the Deferred Stock Plan is subject to the availability in treasury of such shares. It is incumbent on Ultrapar’s executive officers to select the members of management eligible for the plan and propose the number of shares in each case for approval by the Board of Directors. At December 31, 2013, the amount granted to the company’s executives, including tax charges, amounted R$ 63,643 (R$ 63,643 until December 31, 2012 and R$ 44,436 until December 31, 2011). This amount is amortized over the vesting period of Deferred Stock Plan. The amortization in 2013 in the amount of R$ 9,729 (R$ 6,426 in 2012 and R$ 6,083 in 2011) was recognized as a general and administrative expense. The fair value of the awards were determined on the grant date based on the market value of the shares on the BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (“BM&FBOVESPA”), the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange.

(i) Nondeductible expenses, consist of certain expenses that cannot be deducted for tax purposes under applicable tax legislation, such as expenses with fines, donations, gifts, losses of assets and certain provisions;

(ii) Nontaxable revenues, consist of certain gains and income that are not taxable under applicable tax legislation, such as the reimbursement of taxes and the reversal of certain provisions;

(iii) Brazilian tax law allows for an alternative method of taxation for companies that generated gross revenues of up to R$ 48 million in their previous fiscal year. Certain subsidiaries of the Company adopted this alternative form of taxation, whereby income and social contribution taxes are calculated on a basis that is equal to 32% of operating revenues, as opposed to being calculated based on the effective taxable income of these subsidiaries. The adjustment to estimated income represents the difference between the taxation under this alternative method and the income and social contribution taxes that would have been paid based on the effective statutory rate applied to the taxable income of these subsidiaries.

(iv) Interest on equity is an option foreseen in Brazilian corporate law to distribute profits to shareholders, calculated based on the long-term interest rate (“TJLP”), which does not affect the income statement, but is deductible for purposes of IRPJ and CSLL.

c. Tax incentives - SUDENE

The following subsidiaries are entitled to federal tax benefits providing for IRPJ reduction under the program for development of northeastern Brazil operated by the Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast (“SUDENE”):

Subsidiary	Units	Incentive - %		Expiration
Oxiteno Nordeste S.A. Indústria e Comércio	Camaçari plant		75		2016
Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda.	Caucaia base (1)		75		2012
	Mataripe base (1)		75		2013
	Aracaju base		75		2017
	Suape base		75		2018
Terminal Químico de Aratu S.A. – Tequimar	Aratu terminal (2)		75		2012
	Suape terminal		75		2020
Oleoquímica Indústria e Comércio de Produtos Químicos Ltda.	Camaçari plant		75		2022

(1) In 2014 the subsidiary will request the extension of the recognition of tax incentive for another 10 years, due to the production increase in the Caucaia base and modernization in the Mataripe base.

(2) On December 26, 2013, the petition requesting the extension of the tax incentive for another 10 years was granted by SUDENE, due the modernization in the Aratu terminal. On January 16, 2014 the report was filed with the Federal Revenue Service, which has a period of 120 days for approval before Tequimar can use the incentive retrospectively.

Based on these values the Company and its subsidiaries recognized deferred income and social contribution tax assets in the amount of R$ 45,607 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 56,884 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 48,448 as of January 1, 2012).

e. Provisional Measure No. 627

On November 11, 2013 Provisional Measure No. 627 (MP 627/13) was issued, which, among other matters: (i) revokes the Transition Tax Regime (RTT) and regulates the incidence of taxes on the adjustments arising from the convergence of accounting practices adopted in Brazil and international financial reporting standards (IFRS) and (ii) provides for the taxation of residents in Brazil related to profits of overseas subsidiaries and associates.

The Company has assessed the potential effects of MP 627/13 and awaits its conversion into law for completion of the assessment of impacts, however the expected effects are not material based on a preliminary analysis.

The Company has the following balances of goodwill:

	Segment	12/31/2013		12/31/2012		01/01/2012
Goodwill on the acquisition of:
Ipiranga	Ipiranga		276,724		276,724		276,724
Uniăo Terminais	Ultracargo		211,089		211,089		211,089

Others			2,278		2,278		2,278
			794,626		804,697		705,989

On December 31, 2013 the Company tested the balances of goodwill shown in the table above for impairment. The determination of value in use involves assumptions, judgments and estimates of cash flows, such as growth rates of revenues, costs and expenses, estimates of investments and working capital and discount rates. The assumptions about growth projections and future cash flows are based on the Company’s business plan, as well as comparable market data, and represent management’s best estimate of the economic conditions that will exist over the economic life of the various CGUs, to which goodwill is related.

The evaluation of the value in use is calculated for a period of five years, after which we calculate the perpetuity, considering the possibility of carrying the business on indefinitely.

The discount and real growth rates used to extrapolate the projections ranged from 11.3% to 24.9% and 0% to 5.0% p.a., respectively, depending on the CGU analyzed.

The Company’s goodwill impairment tests did not result in the recognition of losses for the year ended December 31, 2013.

ii) Software includes user licenses and costs for the implementation of the various systems used by the Company and its subsidiaries, such as: integrated management and control, financial management, foreign trade, industrial automation, operational and storage management, accounting information and other systems.

iii) The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste and Oleoquímica Indústria e Comércio de Produtos Químicos Ltda. (“Oleoquímica”) recognize as technology certain rights of use held by them. Such licenses include the production of ethylene oxide, ethylene glycols, ethanolamines, glycol ethers, ethoxylates, solvents, fatty acids from vegetable oils, fatty alcohols, and specialty chemicals, which are products that are supplied to various industries.

iv) Commercial property rights include those described below:

• On July 11, 2002, subsidiary Tequimar executed an agreement with CODEBA – Companhia das Docas do Estado da Bahia, which allows it to explore the area in which the Aratu Terminal is located for 20 years, renewable for a similar period. The price paid by Tequimar was R$ 12,000, which is being amortized over the period from August 2002 to July 2042.

• In addition, subsidiary Tequimar has a lease contract for an area adjacent to the Port of Santos for 20 years from December 2002, renewable for a similar period, which allows the construction, operation, and use of a terminal for liquid bulk unloading, tank storage, handling, and distribution. The price paid by Tequimar was R$ 4,334, which is being amortized over the period from August 2005 to December 2022.

v) Distribution rights refer mainly to bonus disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with resellers and large customers. Bonus disbursements are recognized when paid and recognized as an expense in the income statement over the term of the agreement (typically 5 years) which is reviewed as per the changes occurred in the agreements.

vi) Others are represented substantially by the acquisition cost of the ‘am/pm’ brand in Brazil.

The amortization expenses were recognized in the financial statements as shown below:

22 Risks and financial instruments

Risk management and financial instruments - Governance

The main risks to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed reflect strategic/operational and economic/financial aspects. Operational/strategic risks (including, but not limited to, demand behavior, competition, technological innovation, and material changes in the industry structure) are addressed by the Company’s management model. Economic/financial risks primarily reflect default of customers, behavior of macroeconomic variables, such as exchange and interest rates, as well as the characteristics of the financial instruments used by the Company and its subsidiaries and their counterparties. These risks are managed through control policies, specific strategies, and the establishment of limits.

The Company has a conservative policy for the management of resources, financial instruments and risks approved by its Board of Directors (“Policy”). In accordance with the Policy, the main objectives of financial management are to preserve the value and liquidity of financial assets and ensure financial resources for the development of the business, including expansions. The main financial risks considered in the Policy are risks associated with currencies, interest rates, credit and selection of financial instruments. Governance of the management of financial risks and financial instruments follows the segregation of duties below:

• Implementation of the management of financial assets, instruments and risks is the responsibility of the financial area, through its treasury department, with the assistance of the tax and accounting departments.

• Supervision and monitoring of compliance with the principles, guidelines and standards of the Policy is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee composed of members of the Company’s Executive Board (“Committee”). The Committee holds regular meetings and is in charge, among other responsibilities, of discussing and monitoring the financial strategies, existing exposures, and significant transactions involving investment, fund raising, or risk mitigation. The Committee monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis.

• Changes in the Policy or revisions of its standards are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Ultrapar.

• Continuous improvement of the Policy is the joint responsibility of the Board of Directors, the Committee, and the financial area.

• The internal audit department audits the compliance with the requirements of the Policy.

Currency risk

Most transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are located in Brazil and, therefore, the reference currency for risk management is the Brazilian Real. Currency risk management is guided by neutrality of currency exposures and considers the transactional, accounting, and operational risks of the Company and its subsidiaries and their exposure to changes in exchange rates. The Company considers as its main currency exposures the assets and liabilities in foreign currency and the short-term flow of net sales in foreign currency of Oxiteno.

Notes to the financial statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

The Company and its subsidiaries use exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the Brazilian Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency and net investments in foreign operations, in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on its results and cash flows in Brazilian Reais within the exposure limits under its Policy. Such foreign exchange hedging instruments have amounts, periods, and rates substantially equivalent to those of assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are stated below, translated into Brazilian Reais as of December 31, 2013. December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012:

Interest rate risk

The Company and its subsidiaries adopt conservative policies for borrowing and investing financial resources and for capital cost minimization. The financial investments of the Company and its subsidiaries are primarily held in transactions linked to the CDI, as set forth in Note 4. Borrowings primarily relate to financing from Banco do Brasil, BNDES and other development agencies, debentures and borrowings in foreign currency, as shown in Note 14.

The Company does not actively manage risks associated with changes in the level of interest rates and attempts to maintain its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates. As of December 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries had interest rate derivative financial instruments linked to domestic loans, swapping the fixed interest rate of certain debts to floating interest rate (CDI).

The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities exposed to floating interest rates as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012:

Credit risks

The financial instruments that would expose the Company and its subsidiaries to credit risks of the counterparty are basically represented by cash and bank deposits, financial investments, hedging instruments and trade receivables.

Credit risk of financial institutions - Such risk results from the inability of financial institutions to comply with their financial obligations to the Company and its subsidiaries due to insolvency. The Company and its subsidiaries regularly conduct a credit review of the institutions with which they hold cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments through various methodologies that assess liquidity, solvency, leverage, portfolio quality, etc. Cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are held only with institutions with a solid credit history, chosen for safety and soundness. The volumes of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and hedging instruments are subject to maximum limits by institution and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

Government credit risk - The Company’s policy allows investments in government securities from countries classified as investment grade AAA or Aaa by specialized credit rating agencies and in Brazilian government bonds. The volume of such financial investments is subject to maximum limits by each country and, therefore, requires diversification of counterparties.

Customer credit risk - Such risks are managed by each business unit through specific criteria for acceptance of customers and credit rating and are additionally mitigated by diversification of sales. No single customer or group accounts for more than 10% of total revenue.

The Company maintained the following allowances for doubtful accounts on trade receivables:

Total		147,080		128,816		116,454

Liquidity risk

The Company and its subsidiaries’ main sources of liquidity derive from (i) cash, cash equivalents and financial investments, (ii) cash generated from operations and (iii) financings. The Company and its subsidiaries believe that these sources are sufficient to satisfy their current funding requirements, which include, but are not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, amortization of debt and payment of dividends.

The Company and its subsidiaries periodically examine opportunities for acquisitions and investments. They consider different types of investments, either directly or through joint ventures, or associated companies, and finance such investments using cash generated from operations, debt financing, through capital increases or through a combination of these methods.

The Company and its subsidiaries believe to have enough working capital to satisfy their current needs. The gross indebtedness due over the next twelve months totals R$ 2,056.9 million, including estimated interests on loans. Furthermore, the investment plan for 2014 totals R$ 1,484.0 million. On December 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 3,425.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term financial investments (for quantitative information, see Notes 4 and 14).

The table below presents a summary of financial liabilities as of December 31, 2013 to be settled by the Company and its subsidiaries, by maturity. The amounts disclosed in this table are the contractual undiscounted cash outflows, and, therefore, these amounts can be different from the amounts disclosed on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013.

(1) To calculate the estimated interest on loans some macroeconomic assumptions were used, including, on average for the period: (i) CDI of 12.0% p.a., (ii) exchange rate of the Real against the U.S. dollar of R$ 2.50 in 2014, R$ 2.72 in 2015, R$ 3.00 in 2016 and R$ 3.29 in 2017 and R$ 3.57 in 2018 (iii) TJLP of 5.0% p.a. and (iv) IGP-M of 6.4% in 2014, 5.4% in 2015, 5.4% in 2016, 5.4% in 2017 and 5.4% in 2018 (source: BM&FBOVESPA, Bulletin Focus and financial institutions).

(2) Includes estimated interest payments on short-term and long-term loans until the payment.

(3) The currency and interest rate hedging instruments were estimated based on projected U.S dollar futures contracts and the futures curve of DI x Pre contract quoted on BM&FBOVESPA as of December 30, 2013, and on the futures curve of LIBOR (BBA - British Bankers Association) on December 31, 2013. In the table above, only the hedging instruments with negative result at the time of settlement were considered.

Capital management

The Company manages its capital structure based on indicators and benchmarks. The key performance indicators related to the capital structure management are the weighted average cost of capital, and the net debt / EBITDA, interest coverage and indebtedness / equity ratios. Net debt is composed of cash, cash equivalents and financial investments (see Note 4) and loans, including debentures (see Note 14). The Company can change its capital structure depending on the economic and financial conditions, in order to optimize its financial leverage and capital management. The Company seeks to improve its return on capital employed by implementing an efficient working capital management and a selective investment program.

Selection and use of financial instruments

In selecting financial investments and hedging instruments, an analysis is conducted to estimate rates of return, risks involved, liquidity, calculation methodology for the carrying value and fair value, and documentation applicable to the financial instruments. The financial instruments used to manage the financial resources of the Company and its subsidiaries are intended to preserve value and liquidity.

The Policy contemplates the use of derivative financial instruments only to cover identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). The risks identified in the Policy are described in the above sections, and are subject to risk management. In accordance with the Policy, the Company and its subsidiaries can use forward contracts, swaps, options, and futures contracts to manage identified risks. Leveraged derivative instruments are not permitted. Because the use of derivative financial instruments is limited to the coverage of identified risks, the Company and its subsidiaries use the term “hedging instruments” to refer to derivative financial instruments.

As mentioned in the section “Risk management and financial instruments – Governance”, the Committee monitors compliance with the risk standards established by the Policy through a risk monitoring map, including the use of hedging instruments, on a monthly basis. In addition, the internal audit department verifies the compliance with the requirements of the Policy.

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Hedging instruments existing as of December 31, 2013 are described below, according to their category, risk, and hedging strategy:

a - Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of liabilities in foreign currency - The purpose of these contracts is (i) to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates of debts or firm commitments in U.S. dollars by converting them into debts or firm commitments in Brazilian Reais linked to CDI and (ii) change a financial investment linked to the CDI and given as guarantee to loan in U.S. dollar, into a financial investment linked to U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 227.4 million in notional amount with liability position, on average of 103.5% of CDI, of which US$ 87.4 million, on average, had asset position at US$ + 4.19% p.a. and US$ 140.0 million had asset position at US$ + LIBOR + 1.0% p.a.

b.1 - Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of operations - The purpose of these contracts is to make the exchange rate of the revenues of subsidiaries Oleoquímica, Oxiteno S.A. and Oxiteno Nordeste equal to the exchange rate of the cost of their main raw materials during their operating cycles. As of December 31, 2013, these swap contracts totaled US$ 13.1 million and, on average, had an asset position at 79.3% of CDI and liability position at US$ + 0.0% p.a.

b.2 - Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of net investments in foreign operations - The purpose of these contracts is to minimize the effect of exchange variation of investments in foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies different from the functional currency of the Company, turning them into investments in Brazilian Reais. On December 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 35.0 million in notional amount with asset position at 95.1% of CDI and liability position of US$ + 0.0% p.a.

c - Hedging against the interest rate fixed in local financing - The purpose of these contracts is to convert the interest rate on financing contracted in Brazilian Reais from fixed into floating. On December 31, 2013 these swap contracts totaled R$ 627.5 million of notional amount corresponding to principal amount of related debt, and on average had an asset position at 12.0% p.a. and liability position at 98.8% of CDI.

Hedge accounting

The Company and its subsidiaries test, throughout the duration of the hedge, the effectiveness of their derivatives, as well as the changes in their fair value. The Company and its subsidiaries designate as fair value hedges certain derivative financial instruments used to offset the variations in interest and exchange rates, based on the market value of financing contracted in Brazilian Reais and U.S. dollars.

On December 31, 2013 the notional amount of interest rate hedging instruments totaled R$ 627.5 million referring to the principal of the pre-fixed loans in Brazilian Reais. As of December 31, 2013, a loss of R$ 18.0 million related to the result of hedging instruments, an income of R$ 69.9 million related to the fair value adjustment of debt and an expense of R$ 131.7 million related to the accrued interest rate of the debt were recognized in the income statements, transforming the average effective cost of the operations into 98.8% of CDI.

On December 31, 2013 the notional amount of foreign exchange hedging instruments designated as fair value hedge totaled US$ 80.0 million. As of December 31, 2013, a gain of R$ 15.4 million related to the result of hedging instruments, an expense of R$ 2.7 million related to the fair value adjustment of debt and an expense of R$ 26.1 million related to the financial expense of the debt were recognized in the income statements, transforming the average effective cost of the operation into 104.1% of CDI (see Note 14.c.1).

On December 31, 2013 the notional amount of exchange rate hedging instruments designated as hedges of net investment in a foreign operation totaled US$ 35 million relating to the portion of investments in entities which have functional currency different from the Real. In 2013 an expense of R$ 1.7 million was recorded. The exchange rate on investment and the hedging instrument effects were offset in equity.

Gains (losses) on hedging instruments

The following tables summarize the values of gains (losses) recognized as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, which affected the income statement and shareholders’ equity of the Company and its subsidiaries:

Notes to the financial statements

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

The fair value of financial instruments, including currency and interest hedging instruments, was determined as follows:

• The fair values of cash and bank deposits balances are identical to their carrying values.

• Financial investments in investment funds are valued at the value of the fund unit as of the date of the reporting period, which corresponds to their fair value.

• Financial investments in CDBs (Bank Certificates of Deposit) and similar investments offer daily liquidity through repurchase at the “yield curve” and, therefore, the Company believes their fair value corresponds to their carrying value.

• The fair value calculation of LPG Inc.’s notes in the foreign market (see Note 14.b) is based on the quoted prices in an active market.

The fair value of other financial investments and financings was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used for marking-to-market, which consist of calculating future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted and adjusting them to present value at the market rates as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012. For some cases where there is no active market for the financial instrument, the Company and its subsidiaries can use quotes provided by the transaction counterparties.

The interpretation of market information on the choice of calculation methodologies for the fair value requires considerable judgment and estimates to obtain a value deemed appropriate to each situation. Consequently, the estimates presented do not necessary indicate the amounts that may be realized in the current market.

Financial instruments were classified as loans and receivables or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, except (i) all exchange rate and interest rate hedging instruments, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss, (ii) financial investments classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss, (iii) financial investments that are classified as available for sale, which are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (see Note 4), (iv) loans and financing measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 14) and (v) guarantees to customers that have vendor arrangements (see Note 14.k), which are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The financial investments classified as held-to-maturity are measured at amortized cost. Cash, banks and trade receivables are classified as loans and receivables. Trade payables and other payables are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

Fair value hierarchy of financial instruments on the balance sheet

The financial instruments recognized at fair value on the balance sheet are classified in the following categories:

(a) Level 1 - prices negotiated (without adjustment) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

(b) Level 2 - inputs other than prices negotiated in active markets included in Level 1 and observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

(c) Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability which are not based on observable market variables (unobservable inputs).

Sensitivity analysis

The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments only to hedge against identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). Thus, for purposes of sensitivity analysis of market risks associated with financial instruments, as required by CVM Instruction 475/08, the Company analyzes the hedging instrument and the hedged item together, as shown on the charts below.

For the sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange hedging instruments, management adopted as a likely scenario the Real/U.S. dollar exchange rates at maturity of each swap, projected by U.S dollar futures contracts quoted on BM&FBOVESPA as of December 30, 2013. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 3.18 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional appreciation or depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the likely scenario, according to the risk to which the hedged item is exposed.

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of December 31, 2013, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Brazilian Reais and the balance in Brazilian Reais as of December 31, 2013 were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the change in the values of the main derivative instruments and their hedged items, considering the changes in the exchange rate in the different scenarios:

	Risk		Scenario I (likely)			Scenario II			Scenario III
Currency swaps receivable in U.S. dollars

For sensitivity analysis of hedging instruments for interest rates in Brazilian Reais, the Company used the futures curve of DI x Pre contract on BM&FBOVESPA as of December 30, 2013 for each of the swap and debt (hedged item) maturities, to determine the likely scenarios. Scenarios II and III were estimated based on a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of the likely scenario pre-fixed interest rate.

Based on the three scenarios of interest rates in Brazilian Reais, the Company estimated the values of its debt and hedging instruments according to the risk which is being hedged (variations in the pre-fixed interest rates in Brazilian Reais), by projecting them to future value at the contracted rates and bringing them to present value at the interest rates of the estimated scenarios. The result is shown in the table below:

b. Tax matters

Provisions

On October 7, 2005, the subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz and Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda. (“Bahiana”) filed for and obtained a preliminary injunction to recognize and offset PIS and COFINS credits on LPG purchases, against other taxes levied by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, notably IRPJ and CSLL. The decision was confirmed by a trial court on May 16, 2008. Under the preliminary injunction, the subsidiaries were required to make escrow deposits for these debits in the accumulated amount of R$ 345,513 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 291,483 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 242,058 as of January 1, 2012) and have recognized a corresponding liability.

The subsidiary IPP has provisions for IRPJ and CSLL related to the unconstitutionality of Law No. 9316/1996, that denied the deduction of CSLL from the IRPJ tax basis, in the amount of R$ 19,806 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 19,120 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 18,413 as of January 1, 2012).

The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia. Ultragaz, Tequimar, Tropical, Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. (“EMCA”) and IPP filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from their PIS and COFINS tax bases. Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP obtained the right to pay the amounts into escrow deposits through an injunction, and recognized a corresponding provision in the amount of R$ 86,306 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 81,622 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 75,636 as of January 1, 2012). The decisions of these and all claims involving this issue are suspended owing to the granting of injunctive relief on the Declaration of Constitutionality Action No. 18.

The subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. decided to pay off, within the Decree 58811/2012 amnesty issued by the State of Săo Paulo, a tax assessment based on alleged undue ICMS credits taken on invoices issued for the symbolic return of raw materials that had previously been delivered for industrialization. The provision in the amount of R$ 15,364 was paid in April 2013. Similarly, in November 2013 the subsidiary IPP decided to pay off, within the Decree 885/2013 amnesty issued by the State of Pará, a tax assessment in the amount of R$ 12,596.

The subsidiary IPP has provision related to ICMS, mainly with respect to several reasons that resulted in tax assessments for which the proof of payment is not so evident, R$ 19,449 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 19,499 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 16,021 as of January 1, 2012).

Contigent liabilities

The main tax claims of subsidiary IPP and its subsidiaries classified as having a possible risk of loss, and that have not been recognized in the financial statements due to this assessment, are related to ICMS, and mainly, to: (a) the required proportional reversal of ICMS credits recognized on the purchase of ethanol that was later resold at lower prices as a result of PROÁLCOOL, a Federal Government program to encourage alcohol production, determining the anticipation of financial subsidy by the distributors to the mill owners and their subsequent reimbursement by the DNC (current National Oil Agency), R$ 113,555 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 104,086 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 94,357 as of January 1, 2012), (b) alleged undue ICMS credits for which the tax authorities understand that there was no proof of origin, R$ 29,565 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 23,901 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 19,313 as of January 1, 2012), (c) assessments for alleged non-payment of ICMS, R$ 25,576 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 23,096 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 25,318 as of January 1, 2012), (d) assessment issued in Ourinhos/SP in connection with the return of ethanol loans made with deferred tax, R$ 40,848 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 36,324 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 28,733 as of January 1, 2012), (e) assessments in the State of Rio de Janeiro demanding the reversal of ICMS credits on interstate sales made under Article 33 of ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the use of the ICMS credit but was suspended by an injunction granted by STF (the Brazilian Federal Court of Justice), R$ 17,222 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 16,060 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 14,654 as of January 1, 2012), (f) ICMS credits taken in relation to bills considered invalid, though the understanding of the STJ (the Brazilian High Court of Justice) is that it is possible to take credit, even if there is defect in the document of the seller, as long as it is confirmed that the transaction occurred, R$ 27,215 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 28,515 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 25,761 as of January 1, 2012); (g) assessments arising from surplus or shortage of inventory, generated by differences in temperature or handling of the product, without the corresponding issuance of invoices, R$ 47,106 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 31,380 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 19,627 as of January 1, 2012), (h) infraction relating to ICMS credits due to alleged non-compliance with legal formalities, R$ 36,398 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 35,032 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 25,277 as of January 1, 2012) and; (i) assessments arising from ICMS credits related to inputs of ethanol from certain States that had granted tax benefits to producers of alcohol in alleged disagreement with the law, R$ 30,726 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 24,662 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 20,340 as of January 1, 2012); (j) assessments that consider various possible breaches of auxiliary obligations, among them the alleged lack of issuance of invoices, the alleged failure of delivery or delivery with errors of informative reports to the tax authorities, errors in the filling of DANFE - Auxiliary Document Electronic Invoice, among others, R$ 11,806 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 9,416 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 7,926 as of January 1, 2012); and (k) infraction notice for non-payment of ICMS related to the acquisition of basic lubricating oil, whose remittance was deferred to the time of the subsequent industrialized output relating to interstate transactions (covered by the constitutional non-incidence - article 155, X, ‘b’ of the Federal Constitution), R$ 10,657 as of December 2013 (R$ 9,734 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 8,809 as of January 1, 2012).

The subsidiary IPP has assessments invalidating the set-off of IPI credits in connection with the purchase of raw materials used in the manufacturing of products which sales are not subject to IPI under the protection of tax immunity. The non-provisioned amount of this contingency classified as a possible risk of loss, as of December 31, 2013, is R$ 117,697 (R$ 81,868 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 78,508 as of January 1, 2012).

Contigent assets

The Company and its subsidiaries have favorable judgments to pay contributions to PIS and COFINS without the changes introduced by Law 9718/1998 in its original version. The ongoing questioning refers to the levy of these contributions on sources of income other than gross revenue. In 2005, the STF (the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court) decided the question in favor of the taxpayers. Although this has set a favorable precedent, the effect of this decision does not automatically apply to all companies, since they must await the formal decision in their own lawsuits. Certain lawsuits of the Company’s subsidiaries are currently pending trial and, in the event all such lawsuits are decided in favor of the subsidiaries, the Company estimates that the total positive effect on income before income and social contribution taxes, may reach R$ 36,197, net of attorney’s fees.

c. Civil claims

Provisions

The Company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions for lawsuits and administrative proceedings, mainly derived from contracts entered into with customers and former services providers, as well as proceedings related to environmental issues in the amount of R$ 90,886 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 91,242 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 81,522 as of January 1, 2012).

Contingent liabilities

The subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is party to an administrative proceeding before CADE (Brazilian antitrust authority) based on alleged anti-competitive practices in the State of Minas Gerais in 2001. The CADE entered a decision against Cia. Ultragaz imposing a penalty of R$ 23,104. The imposition of such administrative decision was suspended by a court order and its merit is being judicially reviewed. Based on the above elements and on the opinion of its legal counsel, the subsidiary did not recognized a provision for this contingency.

d. Labor matters

Provisions

The Company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions of R$ 60,174 as of December 31, 2013 (R$ 44,186 as of December 31, 2012 and R$ 44,278 as of January 1, 2012) for labor litigation filed by former employees and by employees of our service providers mainly contesting the non-payment of labor rights.

Contingent liabilities

In 1990, the Petrochemical Industry Labor Union (Sindiquímica), of which the employees of Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, companies located in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex, are members, filed separate lawsuits against the subsidiaries demanding the compliance with the fourth section of the collective labor agreement, which provided for a salary adjustment in lieu of the salary policies practiced. In the same year, a collective labor dispute was also filed by the Union of Employers (SINPEQ) against Sindiquímica, requiring the recognition of the loss of effectiveness of such fourth section. Individual claims were rejected. The collective bargain agreement is currently pending trial by STF. In the second half of 2010, some companies in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex signed an agreement with Sindiquímica and reported the fact in the collective bargain agreement dispute. Based on the opinion of their legal advisors, that reviewed the latest STF decision in the collective bargain agreement dispute as well as the status of the individual claims involving the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, the management of such subsidiaries believed that it was not necessary to recognize a provision as of December 31, 2013.

The Company and its subsidiaries have other pending administrative and legal proceedings of tax, civil and labor nature, individually less relevant, which were estimated by their legal counsel as possible and/or remote risk (proceedings whose chance of loss is 50% or less), and the related potential losses were not provided for by the Company and its subsidiaries based on these opinions. The Company and its subsidiaries are also litigating for recovery of taxes and contributions, which were not recognized in the financial statements due to their contingent nature.

e. Contracts

Subsidiary Tequimar has agreements with CODEBA and Complexo Industrial Portuário Governador Eraldo Gueiros, in connection with its port facilities in Aratu and Suape, respectively. Such agreements establish a minimum cargo movement of products, as shown below:

Port	Minimum movement in tons per year	Maturity
Aratu	100,000	2016
Aratu	900,000	2022
Suape	250,000	2027
Suape	400,000	2029

If the annual movement is less than the minimum contractual movement, the subsidiary is liable to pay the difference between the effective movement and the minimum contractual movement, based on the port tariff rates in effect on the date established for payment. As of December 31, 2013, these rates were R$ 5.79 per ton for Aratu and R$ 1.38 per ton for Suape. The subsidiary has met the minimum cargo movement required since the beginning of the agreements.

The General Liability Insurance program covers the Company and its subsidiaries with a maximum aggregate coverage of US$ 400 million against losses caused to third parties as a result of accidents related to commercial and industrial operations and/or distribution and sale of products and services.

Since March 2013, the Company maintains liability insurance policies for directors and executive officers (D&O) to indemnify the members of the Board of Directors, executive officers of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries and members of the fiscal council in the total amount of US$50 million, which cover liabilities resulting from wrongful acts, including any act or omission committed or attempted by a person acting in his or her capacity as director, executive officer of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries and member of the fiscal council or any matter claimed against such directors, executive officers of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries and members of the fiscal council solely by reason of his or her serving in such capacity, except if the act, omission or the claim is consequence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

In addition, group life and personal accident, health and national and international transportation and other insurance policies are also maintained.

The coverages and limits of the insurance policies maintained are based on a careful study of risks and losses conducted by independent insurance advisors, and the type of insurance is considered by management to be sufficient to cover potential losses based on the nature of the business conducted by the companies.

24. Employee benefits and private pension plan

a. ULTRAPREV- Associaçăo de Previdência Complementar

In February 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of a defined contribution pension plan to be sponsored by Company and each of its subsidiaries. Participating employees have been contributing to this plan, managed by Ultraprev - Associaçăo de Previdência Complementar (“Ultraprev”), since August 2001. Under the terms of the plan, every year each participating employee chooses his or her basic contribution to the plan. Each sponsoring company provides a matching contribution in an amount equivalent to each basic contribution, up to a limit of 11% of the employee’s reference salary, according to the rules of the plan. As participating employees retire, they may choose to receive either (i) a monthly sum ranging between 0.5% and 1.0% of their respective accumulated fund in Ultraprev or (ii) a fixed monthly amount which will exhaust their respective accumulated fund over a period of 5 to 25 years. The sponsoring company does not guarantee the amounts or the duration of the benefits received by each employee that retires. In 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 17,876 (R$ 15,563 in 2012) to Ultraprev, which amount is recognized as expense in the income statement. The total number of participating employees as of December 31, 2013 was 6,811 active participants and 113 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 29 former employees receiving benefits under the rules of a previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

b. Post-employment benefits

The Company and its subsidiaries recognized a provision for post-employment benefits mainly related to seniority bonus, payment of Government Severance Indemnity Fund (“FGTS”), and health, dental care and life insurance plan for eligible retirees.

The amounts related to such benefits were determined based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary and are recognized in the financial statements in accordance with IAS 19 (Revised 2011).

Sensitivity analysis

The significant actuarial assumptions to determine the provision for post-employment benefits are: discount rate, wage and medical costs increases. The following sensitivity analyses on December 31, 2013 were determined based on reasonably possible changes of assumptions occurring at the reporting date of the financial statements, keeping all other assumptions constant.

Assumption	Change in assumptions		Increase in liability		Change in assumptions		Decrease in liability
Discount rate		increase 1.0 p.p		9,142		decrease 1.0 p.p		7,624
Wage growth rate		increase 1.0 p.p		1,997		decrease 1.0 p.p		1,968
Medical services growth rate		increase 1.0 p.p		4,068		decrease 1.0 p.p		3,409

The sensitivity analysis presented may not represent the real change in the post-employment benefits obligation, since it is unlikely that changes occur in just one assumption alone, considering that some of these assumptions may be correlated.

Risks related to post-employment benefits

Interest rate risk: a long-term interest rate is used to calculate the present value of post-employment liabilities. A reduction in this interest rate will increase the corresponding liability.

Growth wage risk: the present value of the liability is calculated using as reference the wages of the plan participants, projected with the average nominal wage growth rate. An increase in the real wages of plan participants will increase the corresponding liability.

Medical costs growth risk: the present value of the liability is calculated using as reference the medical cost by age based on actual healthcare costs, projected based on the growth rate of medical services costs. An increase in the real medical costs will increase the corresponding liability.
