INTRODUCTION

Ultrapar is a Brazilian company with 87 years of history, with its origins going back to 1937, when Ernesto Igel founded Ultragaz, a company which pioneered the distribution of LPG as cooking gas. Since then, Ultrapar has become one of the largest business groups in Brazil, with an outstanding position in the energy, mobility and logistics infrastructure segments.

Since 1999, Ultrapar’s shares have been traded under an ADS Level III program on the New York Stock Exchange – NYSE, and on the São Paulo Stock Exchange – B3. Since 2011, the Company’s shares have been listed on B3’s Novo Mercado , the segment with the highest standards of corporate governance in Brazil.

As of December 31, 2024, Ultrapar owned three main segments :

Ipiranga: a comprehensive ecosystem of mobility products and services, it is one of the largest fuels and lubricants distribution companies and one of the most valuable brands in the country, with a network of approximately 5,900 service stations, in addition to 1.5 thousand AmPm stores, the largest convenience store franchise in Brazil .
Ultragaz: pioneer company and is one of the leader s in the distribution of LPG in Brazil, it is a reference in innovation in the sector and has been expanding its offer of energy solutions for its customers. It serves approximately 57 thousand business customers and more than 11 million households, through a network that already exceeds 6 thousand resellers, in a safe, efficient, and sustainable way.
Ultracargo: the leading company in the sector of independent liquid bulk storage terminals in Brazil, it is present in the country’s inland and main ports , handling fuels, biofuels, chemicals, and vegetable oils. It has advanced its growth strategy by expanding into inland areas, connecting Brazil’s coastline to its interior .

Additionally, in 2024, Ultrapar Logística, a subsidiary of Ultrapar , acquired an equity participation in Hidrovias. As of December 31, 2024, the company held a total stake of 41. 9 4 %. Hidrovias is a leader in waterway cargo transport in Brazil, mainly for transporting grains, minerals, fertilizers, and salt. It has four operations: an integrated logistics system in the Northern Corridor, coastal shipping 1 , river navigation in the Southern Corridor, and port operation in Santos.

1 The sale of the cabotage operation was announced to the market on February 27, 2025 , and it is subject to regulatory approvals.

The sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma , our former wholly owned subsidiaries, were closed on April 1, 2022 and on August 1, 2022, respectively, and, as a result, these companies are no longer part of Ultrapar’s business portfolio as of these dates. For more information on our continuing and discontinued operations, please see "Item 4.A. Information on the Company—History and development of the Company—A.1. Continuing operations” and “—A.2.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 18 were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and include our consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows – indirect method for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 , as well as notes thereto (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”).

There are no standards, amendments and interpretations to IFRS issued by IASB which are effective and could have a material impact in the financial statements for the periods ended on December 31, 2024 and 2023 that have not been adopted by the Company .

The financial information presented in this annual report should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment information for our businesses is presented on an unconsolidated basis. See Note 2 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on segment information. 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.

On December 31, 2021, our former wholly owned subsidiaries, Oxiteno and Extrafarma, were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations, due to the signing of a share purchase agreement with Indorama in August 2021 and with Pague Menos in May 2021, respectively. The sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma were closed on April 1, 2022 and on August 1, 2022, respectively, and, as a result, these companies are no longer part of Ultrapar’s business portfolio as of these dates.

Certain figures included in this annual report have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables and charts 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 IBP and ANP and (iii) the liquid bulk storage industry was obtained from ABTL. Unless otherwise specified, all macroeconomic data are obtained from IBGE, 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.

Financial information in U.S. Dollars

Solely for the convenience of the reader, we have translated some amounts included in this annual report from Reais into U.S. dollars using the commercial selling rate as reported by the Central Bank on December 31, 2024, of R$ 6.19 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.

Non-GAAP financial measures

This annual report presents our Gross and Net Debt, which are non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure.

We calculate Gross Debt as loans, financing and derivative financial instruments plus debentures. We calculate Net Debt as the sum of Gross Debt plus leases payable minus cash, cash equivalents, financial investments and derivative financial instruments. Our calculations of Gross and Net Debt may differ from the calculations of similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Our management believes that disclosure of Gross and Net Debt is useful to potential investors as it helps to give them a clearer understanding of our financial liquidity. However, Gross and Net Debt are not measures under IFRS and should not be considered as a substitute for measures of indebtedness determined in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of Gross and Net Debt to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business overview—Key financial information.”

Risks relating to Ultrapar and its industries

Petrobras is the main supplier of LPG and oil-based fuels in Brazil. Fuel and LPG distributors in Brazil, including Ipiranga and Ultragaz, have formal contracts with Petrobras for the supply of oil-derivatives. Any material delay or interruption in the supply of LPG or oil-based fuels from Petrobras would immediately affect Ultragaz’s or Ipiranga’s ability to provide LPG and oil-based fuels to their customers. In addition, Petrobras’ current pricing policy may have an adverse effect in our businesses.

Prior to 1995, Petrobras held a constitutional monopoly for producing and importing petroleum products in Brazil. Although this constitutional monopoly was formally terminated pursuant to an amendment to the Brazilian constitution enacted in 1995, Petrobras effectively remains the main provider of LPG and oil-based fuels in Brazil. In 2024, 83% of all the LPG purchased by Ultragaz was supplied by Petrobras. With respect to fuel distribution, Petrobras also supplied the majority of Ipiranga and other distributors’ oil-based fuel requirements in 2024, supplying 85 % of all diesel and 83% of all gasoline in the market, according to ANP data.

Significant interruptions or delays of LPG and oil-based fuel supply from Petrobras could 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, and material delays in the supply could also impact our operations.

Additionally, Petrobras announced in 2021 that it would cease to guarantee the supply of fuels to the Brazilian market and informed distributors that a portion of their fuel purchase orders would not be fully met. As a result, fuel distribution companies, including Ipiranga, have been required to purchase part of their fuels needs from other local refineries or in the international market.

In May 2023, Petrobras announced a new commercial strategy for setting diesel and gasoline prices, thus replacing its pricing policy in which the import parity prices were the sole reference for selling fuels to distributors in the Brazilian market. The new pricing model not only considers the international market dynamics, but also takes into account national pricing references such as the customer alternative cost and the marginal value for Petrobras. If the prices at which these products are imported or bought from other companies are materially different from those charged by Petrobras, the fuel market supply dynamics could be materially affected, thus, our operating margins, market share, financial condition and results of our operations may be adversely affected. Moreover, if we are not able to obtain an adequate volume of LPG or oil-based fuels at competitive prices or pass on the increase in costs to our customers, our operating margins, market share, financial condition and results of our operations may be adversely affected.

Intense competition is generally inherent to distribution markets, including the LPG and the fuel distribution markets, and may affect our operating margins. LPG and oil-based fuels also compete with alternative sources of energy and are expected to compete with alternative sources of energy that may be developed in the future, which may adversely affect the markets in which we operate.

The Brazilian LPG market is very competitive in all segments — residential, commercial, and industrial. Intense competition in the LPG distribution market could lead to lower sales volumes, lower selling prices 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——Industry and regulatory overview—A. Distribution of LPG—Ultragaz—Competition.”

Table of Contents

LPG competes with alternative sources of energy, such as natural gas, wood, diesel, fuel oil and electricity. Natural gas is currently the main source of energy that we compete with, mainly for large industrial consumers. Changes in relative prices, investments in the natural gas infrastructure grid 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.

The Brazilian fuel distribution market is highly competitive as well, in both retail and wholesale segments, with companies with significant resources participating in it. Furthermore, small, local and regional distributors have increased their market share in recent years. Intense competition in the fuel distribution market could lead to lower sales volumes, lower selling prices 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—Industry and regulatory overview—C. Fuel distribution—Ipiranga—Competition.”

Moreover, oil-based fuels face competition from a variety of renewable alternatives, such as biofuels and electric vehicles. The share of renewable energy sources in the global energy matrix is steadily increasing and a growing number of countries, including Brazil, are discussing and adopting public policies to encourage the marketing of these alternative sources of energy. We are unable to foresee the timing and pace or even which renewable sources of energy will be developed or adopted, and may not be able to timely adapt our business model or remain competitive with them, which could impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Anticompetitive practices in the fuel distribution sector may distort market prices.

Anticompetitive practices have been one of the main problems affecting fuel distributors in Brazil, including Ipiranga. Generally, these practices have involved a combination of tax evasion, special tax regime and fuel adulteration, such as the dilution of gasoline by mixing solvents, adding anhydrous ethanol in an amount greater than that permitted by applicable law, or adding biodiesel in an amount smaller than that required by applicable law. There is also a large number of distributors who fail to meet RenovaBio targets and do not purchase mandatory decarbonization credits annually.

Taxes constitute a significant portion of the cost of fuels sold in Brazil. For this reason, tax evasion by some fuel distributors has been prevalent, allowing them to (i) reduce the prices they charge compared to large distributors, such as Ipiranga, or (ii) obtain higher profit margins and/or better financial results. As the final prices for the products sold by 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 reduce 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 fuels, tax evasion may increase, resulting in a greater distortion of the prices of fuels sold and further adversely affecting our results of operations.

Furthermore, the fuel distribution sector has been under scrutiny by Brazilian authorities, including CADE and public prosecutors, as there have been allegations of cartels involving price arrangements and certain other antitrust practices within the sector. The outcome of these ongoing investigations and administrative and judicial proceedings may have an adverse impact on the Company’s businesses and results. For example, in 2024, Ipiranga obtained an administrative decision, not yet final, dismissing an administrative proceeding initiated by CADE, which is classified by outside legal counsel as having a remote risk of loss. Additionally, the Company is actively involved in two judicial processes aiming to annul fines imposed by CADE in the administrative sphere.

Our businesses would be materially adversely affected if operations at our transportation and distribution facilities experienced significant events outside of our control.

The distribution of LPG and fuels is subject to inherent risks, including interruptions or disturbances in the distribution system which may be caused by accidents or force majeure events. Our operations are dependent upon the uninterrupted operation of our terminals, storage and distribution facilities and various means of transportation. We are also dependent upon the uninterrupted operation of certain facilities owned or operated by our suppliers. Operations at our facilities and at the facilities owned or operated by our suppliers could be partially or completely shut down, temporarily or permanently, as the result of any number of circumstances that are not within our control, such as:

Catastrophic events, including hurricanes and floods;
Social and economic conflicts, terrorist events and wars, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict involving Hamas and Israel;
Epidemics and pandemics;
Environmental matters (including environmental licensing processes or environmental incidents, contamination, and others);
Labor difficulties (including work stoppages, strikes and other events); and
Disruptions in our means of transportation, including opposition from social or labor movements (such as strikes) or blockades of key transportation routes or facilities, affecting the supply of our products.

Table of Contents

Any significant interruption at these facilities or inability to transport products to or from these facilities or to our customers for any reason could subject us to liability in judicial, administrative, or other proceedings, including for disruptions caused by events outside of our control, which could materially affect our businesses and results.

Our businesses are also subject to stoppages and blockades of highways and other public road s . We also face risks from infrastructure deficits in Brazil, which may increase costs and the likelihood of interruptions in our operations.

We may be adversely affected by changes to specific laws and regulations in our operating sectors.

We are subject to extensive federal, state and local legislation and regulation by government agencies and sector associations in the industries we operate. Rules related to quality of products, product storage, staff working hours, among others, may become more stringent or be amended overtime, and require new investments or the increase in expenses so our operations are in compliance with the applicable rules. Changes in specific laws and regulations in the sectors we operate may adversely affect the conditions under which we operate in ways that could have a materially negative effect on our businesses and our results.

Any change in our senior management and any difficulty in retaining, attracting and replacing qualified personnel could affect our ability to grow and could have an adverse effect on our activities, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends, in part, on the efforts and skills of our senior management and key personnel. The loss or failure to retain one or more of our key personnel could adversely affect our businesses. Our success also depends, in part, on our continuous ability to identify, hire, attract, train, develop and retain other highly qualified employees. Competition for these employees can be intense and we may not be able to attract and retain them. If we are unable to attract or retain qualified professionals to manage and expand our operations, we may not be able to conduct our businesses and, as a result, our operating and financial results may be adversely affected.

Our level of indebtedness may require us to use a significant portion of our cash flow to service such indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2024, our consolidated Gross Debt was R$ 1 4,302 .1 million and our net cash provided by operating activities totaled R$ 3,735.6 million. The level and composition of our indebtedness could have significant consequences for us, including requiring a portion of our cash flow from operations to be committed to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the available cash to finance our working capital and investment in growth opportunities. In addition, any increase in our level of indebtedness or leverage could negatively impact our credit rating, making it more difficult to refinance our indebtedness in the future.

Higher LPG, fuels and other raw material costs could increase cost of products sold and decrease gross margin, adversely affecting our total operating result. Our exposure to cost volatility and other events related to these products could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition, and results of operations.

LPG, fuels and the main raw materials used in the distribution of our main products are subject to substantial price fluctuations. Such fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition, and results of operations. The prices of LPG, fuels and other raw materials are influenced by several factors over which we have little or no control, including, but not limited to weather, agricultural production, international and national political and economic conditions, transportation and processing costs, regulations and government policies, and the relationship between world supply and demand. In addition, we may not be able to pass through to our customers, in due course, increases in LPG, fuels and other raw material costs and other operating costs related to the distribution of our products, which could decrease our profit margin and cause a material adverse effect in our activities, financial condition, and operating results.

Table of Contents

Our businesses may be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of communicable diseases, other epidemics or pandemics.

Historically, some regional or global epidemics and outbreaks, such as the one caused by the Zika virus, the one caused by the Ebola virus, the H5N5 virus (popularly known as avian flu), the foot-and-mouth disease, the H1N1 virus (influenza A, popularly known as swine flu), the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the coronavirus (COVID-19) have affected certain sectors of the economy in countries where these diseases have spread. Policies designed to prevent or delay the spread of such communicable diseases, such as the restriction on circulation of people and/or the operations of certain sectors of the economy, might negatively affect business and economic sentiment, causing significant volatility in global capital and commodity markets and thus affecting the outlook of the economy of Brazil and other countries, directly impacting our businesses, operations and financial condition.

A global pandemic can also precipitate or exacerbate the other risks described in this annual report, which in turn could further materially and adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, prospects and the market price of our securities, including in ways not currently known or considered by us to present material risks.

We are subject to extensive federal and state legislation and regulation by governmental agencies responsible for implementing environmental and health laws and policies in Brazil.

Our subsidiaries must obtain permits for its industrial facilities from the appropriate environmental agencies, which may create additional regulations for our operations by prescribing specific environmental standards in their operating licenses. This includes compliance with environmental laws concerning protected areas, licensing, and the interface with indigenous or quilombola territories, which are becoming increasingly stringent and more strictly enforced.

Changes in these laws and regulations, or in their enforcement, may adversely affect the Company by increasing its compliance and operating costs. Furthermore, additional new laws and regulations, as well as more stringent interpretation of existing laws and regulations, may require additional investments for the Company to maintain its operations in compliance with legislation, which could increase costs and adversely affect results. Stricter regulations related to the handling and transport of dangerous products, diesel, oil, and other flammable materials could also result in increased compliance costs.

In addition to regulatory issues, our environmental risks are mainly related to the use of natural resources , the generation and disposal of waste, the emissions of greenhouse gases and the contamination of soil and water. Through our participation in Hidrovias , additional environmental risks include the handling of toxic waste, spills, and discharges from maintenance and service facilities on rivers and from other logistical operations, which could lead to environmental damage and potential financial sanctions, suspension of activities, or criminal liability.

In our operations, water is mainly consumed in emergencies involving fires. Our operations also generate waste, such as contaminated waste, civil construction waste, and others. Finally, soil and water contamination can occur due to leaks from products stored and transported by our businesses. Through our participation in Hidrovias, b reaches of environmental laws related to spills and discharges could result in significant costs that are difficult to estimate, along with reputational and image damage. The occurrence of such events could result in fines, loss of operating licenses and reputational harm, consequently affecting our results and financial position.

Our businesses, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by a general economic downturn and by instability and volatility in the financial markets, including as a result of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the conflict involving Hamas and Israel.

The turmoil of the global financial markets and the scarcity of credit in the past led to lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction of business activity. An economic downturn could materially and adversely affect the liquidity, businesses and/or financial conditions of our customers, which could in turn result in decreased demand for our products, increased delinquencies in our accounts receivable and limited liquidity of our shares and ADSs.

Global markets have recently experienced volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions, the start of a military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the armed conflict involving Hamas and Israel. Any hostilities, terrorist activities, political instability or violence as a result of these conflicts could lead to market disruptions, sanctions and volatility, which, depending on the scale the conflicts take, could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.

Moreover, 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 businesses, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

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

The specialized distribution and retail, as well as the operations of logistics of oil, LPG and fuels involve substantial risks of property damage and personal injury and may result in material costs and liabilities. Although we maintain insurance policies, 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.

In addition, there are certain types of risks related to the business of Hidrovias, such as natural disasters, accidents, thefts, or other unforeseen events (e.g., drying of rivers, silting, war, acts of terrorism, and force majeure), that may not be adequately covered by our insurance policies. If such events occur, we may incur significant additional costs to restore or replace affected assets or to address the impacts on our operations. Additionally, if the frequency and severity of accidents, loss or damage to cargo, or indemnities to workers and third parties increase, we may face higher insurance premiums and, in some cases, difficulty in renewing or obtaining the necessary insurance coverage, which could adversely affect our operations.

The taxation system in Brazil is undergoing significant changes following the approval of the tax reform , which may result in material changes in taxation of our products and services , potentially affect ing our results of operations and financial condition.

Taxation in Brazil remains complex, with numerous regulations, exemptions, and amendments, that make it challenging for businesses to navigate and anticipate their tax obligations. While the approved tax reform is expected to simplify the system and introduce long-term benefits , it also presents risks during its phased implementation a nd transition period ( 2026 - 2032 ) as the taxpayers are required to be compliant both with the current legislation and taxes are being introduced .

Additionally, the reform consolidates and modifies existing federal, state, and municipal tax regimes and structures, it introduces uncertainties that may significantly impact our operations and results . These uncertainties arise from the need to adapt to a dual VAT system, which includes the Federal Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS) and the States and Municipali ties Tax on Goods and Services (IBS), as well as an Excise Tax applied to specific products such as fossil fuels , or other products that are deemed to harm the environment and the public health .

The reform is expected to affect fuels and LPG. Any increase in tax rates could raise the cost of goods sold, thereby reducing profitability if we could not timely pass these adjustments on to consumers. On the other hand, a decrease in tax rates might positively impact margins, but could also lead to intensified competition as other market players might adjust their own pricing strategies.

We also expect significant resources and time would be required to ensure compliance with the new tax regulations, thus increasing compliance costs arising from the need for additional staff training, IT system updates, and engagement with tax advisors. Failure to comply with the revised tax regulations could also result in penalties, fines, or legal actions, further impacting our financial condition.

On top of this tax reform, there is also a new bill of law proposed by the current administration which provides for the taxation of dividends distributed to individuals domiciled in Brazil and remitted to non-residents. The dividends are currently exempt, and the bill proposes an imposition of a withholding tax up to 10% over the gross amount of dividends paid. There is limited visibility on whether the Congress will approve this bill, but if approved it would be applicable as of 2026 and could potentially impact the returns of an investment in a Brazilian entity such as us.

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

As of the date of this annual report , we are entitled to tax benefits providing for income tax reduction for our activities in the Northeast region of Brazil, subject to certain conditions. Conversely, if the corresponding tax authorities understand that we have not complied with any of the tax benefit requirements or if the current tax programs from which we benefit are modified, suspended, canceled, not renewed or renewed under terms that are substantially less favorable than expected, we may become liable for the payment of related taxes at the full tax rates and our results of operations may be adversely affected. Income tax exemptions amounted to R$ 94 . 3 million, R$109.0 million and R$ 93.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. See “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business overview—Industry and regulatory overview—A. Distribution of LPG—Ultragaz—Income tax exemption status” and “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business overview—Industry and regulatory overview—B. Storage services for liquid bulk —Ultracargo—Income tax exemption status.”

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.

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 and board members. 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 Board of Directors, the members of which were elected at the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 1 6 , 202 5 , will expire in the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting to be held in 202 7 . Consequently, a new composition of the Board of Directors might be elected by our shareholders.

As a result of acquisitions, Ultrapar has assumed and may assume in the future certain liabilities related to the businesses acquired or to be acquired. Additionally, Ultrapar has assumed and may assume certain risks associated with acquisitions and divestments, including regulatory risks.

Ultrapar is subject to risks relating to acquisitions and divestments that it enters into from time to time. Such risks include the assumption of liabilities of an acquired business or a refusal by the relevant regulatory bodies, including CADE, to approve a relevant transaction.

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 (including indemnifications and payments in respect of future claims in judicial and arbitral proceedings), incur charges or take other actions that may adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and the price of our shares.

For example, the sale of Oxiteno to Indorama was closed on April 1, 2022, and the sale of Extrafarma to Pague Menos was closed on August 1, 2022. Thus, these two companies ceased to be consolidated as subsidiaries of Ultrapar, and we no longer control their management or operations. However, under the applicable sale agreements, we will remain liable for certain previously existing financial obligations, legal liabilities or other known and unknown contingent liabilities or risks associated with Oxiteno and Extrafarma that may, if materialized, adversely affect our businesses, operations and/or results.

Additionally, during 2024, Ultrapar Logística acquired a relevant equity stake in Hidrovias and, as of December 31, 2024, Ultrapar held a total stake of 41 . 94 % in Hidrovias. For more information, see “Item 4.A. Information on the Company—History and development of the Company—Recent developments.”

Our management is unable to predict whether and when any new acquisitions or strategic alliances will occur or the likelihood that any particular transaction will be completed on favorable terms and conditions. Our ability to expand our business through acquisitions or alliances depends on many factors, including its ability to identify acquisition opportunities or access capital markets on acceptable terms. Even if we are able to identify opportunities and obtain the resources necessary to do so, financing these acquisitions could result in an overcommitment on our part. Acquisitions, particularly those involving sizeable enterprises, may bring managerial and operational challenges, including the diversion of management’s attention from existing operations and difficulties in integrating operations and personnel. Any material failure by us in integrating new businesses or in managing any new alliances may adversely affect our business and financial performance.

The founding family and part of our senior management, through their ownership interest in Ultra S.A. and Parth, 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 the vote of shareholders.

Although there is no controlling shareholder of Ultrapar, the founding family and part of our senior management, through their ownership interest in Ultra S.A. and Parth, beneficially own a significative portion of our outstanding common stock. On August 18, 2020, Ultra S.A. and Parth entered into the 2020 Shareholders’ Agreement to include Pátria in its capacity as Ultra S.A.’s shareholder then holding a 20% stake in Ultra S.A.’s capital stock. Mr. Marcos Marinho Lutz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ultrapar is a shareholder of Ultra S.A., holding 2.4% of its capital stock, and also consenting intervening party of the 2020 Shareholders’ Agreement. A total of 35.6% of the Company’s capital stock is bound by the 2020 Shareholder’s Agreement as of December 31, 2024. Accordingly, these shareholders, acting together through Ultra S.A. and Parth, may exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of our directors. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company—History and development of the Company”, “Item 7.A. Major shareholders and related party transactions—Major shareholders—Shareholders’ Agreements” and “Exhibit 2.9—Shareholders’ Agreement dated August 18, 2020.”

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 dividends and other cash flows from our subsidiaries.

Failure to comply with, obtain or renew the licenses and permits required for each of the sectors in which we operate may have a material adverse effect on us.

The Company’s subsidiaries are in a constant process of obtaining or renewing the required permits to operate. Our subsidiaries must obtain and maintain such licenses and permits from different public bodies for the continuity of their activities. If the Company’s subsidiaries are unable to obtain or renew all licenses and permits necessary to conduct their businesses and operations, the absence of such licenses could materially and adversely affect the Company’s businesses, financial condition, and results of operations.

Table of Contents

Among the necessary requirements to obtain licenses, there is the mandatory regularization of the areas in which our subsidiaries’ facilities are located. In the event any of our subsidiaries’ facilities were built without the required authorization of the competent local authority, or not in accordance with the respective approvals, we would face adverse consequences and risks which may adversely affect us, including failure or delays to receive any further operating licenses, fines, closures or the need to demolish any construction deemed not properly authorized, this leading to losses in connection with our investments.

Our governance and compliance processes may fail to prevent regulatory penalties and reputational harm.

Our governance and compliance processes, which include reviewing internal controls over financial reporting, may not prevent future violations of applicable legal, anti-corruption, antitrust and conflicts of interest laws and regulations, accounting or governance standards. We may be subject to legal and regulatory violations and to breaches of our Code of Ethics, anti-corruption policies and commercial conduct protocols, and to instances of fraudulent behavior, corrupt, anticompetitive and unethical practices and dishonesty by our employees, contractors or other agents. In the recent past, anticompetitive practices have been one of the main problems affecting fuels and LPG distributors in Brazil, including Ipiranga and Ultragaz. There are allegations of cartels involved in price fixing in the fuel distribution and LPG sectors, and CADE has been targeting players of these sectors in different regions of Brazil. CADE has been actively investigating these sectors and a negative outcome of the ongoing investigations, administrative proceedings and lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on Ipiranga and Ultragaz. Our failure to comply with applicable laws and other standards could subject us to, among others, litigation, investigations, expenses, fines, loss of operating licenses and reputational harm. For more information about ongoing proceedings, see “Item 8.A. Financial information—Consolidated statements and other financial information—Legal proceedings.”

Information technology failures, including those that affect the privacy and security of personal data, as a result of cyber-attacks or other causes, could adversely affect our businesses and the market price of our shares and ADSs.

We increasingly rely on information technology systems to process, transmit, and store electronic information. A significant portion of the communication between our personnel, customers, and suppliers depends on information technology. In addition, our billing systems rely heavily on technology infrastructure. As with all large systems, our information systems may be vulnerable to a variety of interruptions, due to events beyond our control including, but not limited to, natural disasters, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hacker attacks, human errors or other security issues.

We depend on information technology to enable us to operate efficiently and interface with customers, as well as to maintain in-house management and control. We also collect and store personal information that customers provide to purchase products or services.

In addition, the concentration of processes in shared services centers means that any technology disruption could impact a large portion of our businesses within the regions we serve. Any transition of processes to, from or within shared services centers, as well as other transformational projects, could lead to disruptions in our businesses. If we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to build and sustain a proper technology infrastructure, we could be subject to transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, loss of customers, operations disruptions, or the loss of or damage to intellectual property caused by security breaches. As with all information technology systems, our systems could also be breached by outside parties with the purpose of extracting information, corrupting information, or disrupting businesses’ processes.

Also, the increasing reliance on digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) brings significant benefits but also exposes the Company to cyber risks, such as sophisticated attacks on AI systems, data manipulation, taking advantages of vulnerabilities, and misuse of AI by malicious agents. Additionally, the rapid evolution of regulations can create compliance challenges, and if failures or breaches occur, our operations may be impacted.

In Brazil, we are subject to laws and regulations regarding data protection and privacy, including Brazilian Law No. 13,709/18 (Brazilian General Data Protection Law) or LGPD, which came into force on September 18, 2020. Inspired by the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union, LGPD sets forth a comprehensive set of rules on how companies, organizations and public authorities should collect, use, process and store personal data when carrying out their activities.

LGPD sets out a legal framework for the processing of personal data and provides for the rights of data holders, the legal bases applicable to the protection of personal data, the requirements for obtaining consent, the obligations and requirements related to data breaches, requirements for international data transfers, among others. LGPD also created the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (National Data Protection Authority), or ANPD, responsible for enforcing the law. Most provisions of the LGPD entered into effect on September 18, 2020, while the provisions relating to administrative sanctions came into effect on August 1, 2021. On October 29, 2021, the Regulation on Supervision and Sanctioning Procedures approved by the ANPD was published, which governs, among other things, how the administrative sanctions provided for in the LGPD should be applied.

Table of Contents

LGPD requires mandatory breach notification in case of relevant risk or damage to data holders and authorizes regulatory investigations that could lead to fines and other sanctions in case of non-compliance. As of the date of this annual report, we are not aware of any ongoing regulatory investigations affecting us. However, we cannot assure that we will not be subject to any such investigations and any resulting sanctions in the future, should any breaches take place.

LGPD, as well as any other changes to existing personal data protection laws, may subject us to, among other measures, additional costs and expenses, which would require costly changes to our businesses practices and security systems, policies, procedures and practices.

Our protections may be compromised as a result of third-party security breaches, burglaries, cyberattack, errors by employees or employees of third-party vendors, contractors, misappropriation of data by employees, vendors or unaffiliated third parties, or other irregularities that may result in persons obtaining unauthorized access to company data or otherwise disrupting our businesses.

For example, on January 11, 2021, an unauthorized party disrupted access to our IT systems, which caused a temporary interruption to our operations and resulted in the theft of certain proprietary data. On January 14, 2021, we began restoring the systems that were affected by this incident and all critical information systems have been fully operational since February 2021. No material impacts were incurred by the Company as a result of this event.

As of the date of this annual report, the Company does not carry insurance against cyber incidents. Therefore, similar interruptions, data breaches or any noncompliance with LGPD could have an adverse effect on our businesses, reputation, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, or result in proceedings or actions against us, including the imposition of fines.

The production, storage and transportation (including by navigation activities) of commercial goods, including fuels, LPG, chemicals, corrosives and other liquid or gaseous bulk products are inherently hazardous.

The operations performed by Ultrapar’s businesses involve safety and other operational risks, including the handling, production, storage and transportation of highly flammable, explosive and toxic materials. These risks can result in bodily injury or death, damage to or destruction of facilities or equipment, and environmental damage.

A sufficiently large accident at one of the service stations or storage facilities could force temporary suspension of activities at the site, resulting in significant remediation costs, lost revenues, and contingent liabilities.

Also, the Company faces challenges related to unsafe working conditions, given the daily need to control powerful energies (kinetic, water, gravity), which pose health and safety hazards to employees during navigation activities.

Furthermore, Hidrovias is also subject to other conditions beyond its control, such as mechanical and electrical failures, accidents, personal injury, loss or damage to assets and cargo, fires, explosions, and fuel or other substance leaks, cargo theft, business interruption and delivery delays. Should any of these events occur, they may adversely affect the Hidrovias’ operations and results.

In addition, insurance coverage may not be available in a timely manner or may be insufficient to cover all losses or any loss at all. Mechanical failures, navigational hazards, accidents, or interruptions caused by environmental factors could also disrupt operations and lead to significant financial consequences. Equipment breakdowns, natural disasters and delays in obtaining imported products or spare parts or equipment could also affect the production process and, consequently, the results of operations and our reputation.

Risks relating to Brazil

The Brazilian government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy. Brazilian political and economic conditions, including ongoing political instability and perceptions of these conditions in the international markets, 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 influence the course of Brazil’s economy, control inflation and to implement other policies and regulations have involved increases in interest rates, changes in tax policies, price and wage controls, currency devaluations, capital controls, fiscal adjustments, and limits on imports and exports, 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:

Table of Contents

Currency fluctuations;
Inflation;
Interest rates;
Exchange rate policies;
Liquidity available in the domestic capital, credit and financial markets;
Oil and gas sector regulations, including price policies;
The impact of epidemics and pandemics;
Price instability;
Social and political instability;
Energy and water shortages and rationing;
Liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets;
Fiscal policy;
Overturning of final judicial rulings on tax cases; and
Other political, economic, social, trade and diplomatic developments in or affecting Brazil.

Uncertainty over whether the Brazilian government may implement changes in policy, including with respect to the oil and gas industry, 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, as well as heightened volatility in the Real . These and other future developments in the Brazilian economy or government policies may adversely affect us and our businesses as well as our 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 our businesses and us.

Uncertainty regarding whether the Brazilian government will implement policy and regulatory changes may be compounded by political instability. Political crises have affected and continue to affect the confidence of investors and the general public and have historically resulted in economic deceleration and heightened volatility in the securities issued by Brazilian companies. Additionally, political instability in Brazil has been growing in recent years, which has contributed to a decline in market confidence in the Brazilian economy as well as to a deteriorating political environment.

Furthermore, in recent years some of Brazil’s leading politicians were targets of inquiries involving corruption, misconduct of public management, as well as the potential misuse of government funds. The potential outcome of these and other inquiries, as well as potential new inquiries involving Brazilian politicians that may arise are uncertain, but they had, and still may have a negative impact on the general perception of the Brazilian economy and consequently have adversely affected and may continue to affect our businesses, financial condition, and results of operations, as well as the market price of our common shares.

Ultimately, we cannot predict the scope, nature and impact of any policy changes or reforms (or reversals thereof) that the government will implement, which could result in further political and economic instability and negatively impact the regulatory framework in which we operate, which in turn could adversely affect our businesses, financial condition and operating results.

In addition, there is no guarantee that the president will be successful in executing his campaign promises or passing certain reforms fully or at all. Likewise, we cannot predict how the president’s administration may impact the overall stability, growth prospects and economic and political health of the country. A failure by the Brazilian government to implement reforms may result in diminished confidence in the Brazilian government’s budgetary condition and fiscal stance, which could result in downgrades of Brazil’s sovereign foreign credit rating by credit rating agencies and the rise of risk premium, negatively impacting Brazil’s economy, and leading to further depreciation of the Real and an increase in inflation and interest rates, adversely affecting our businesses, financial condition and results of operations.

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

Brazil has experienced significantly high rates of inflation in the past, while the Brazilian economy has been characterized by frequent and occasionally extensive interventions by the Brazilian government. The Brazilian government’s past measures to control inflation included maintaining a tight monetary policy with high interest rates, wage and price controls, exchange controls, restrictions on imports, and others. High inflation, actions to combat inflation and public speculation about possible future measures has led and may lead to significant negative impacts on the Brazilian economy and heightened volatility in the securities markets. According to the IGP-M, an inflation index, the Brazilian general price inflation rate was 6 . 5% in 2024, -3.2% in 2023 and 5.5% in 2022. According to the IPCA, an inflation index to which the Brazilian government’s inflation targets are linked, inflation in Brazil was 4 . 8% in 2024, 4.6% in 2023 and 5.8% in 2022. Brazil may experience high levels of inflation in the future.

Table of Contents

Since our operating expenses are substantially in Reais , any inflationary pressure could materially affect our operating margins. Furthermore, high inflation or higher interest rates could materially affect our cost of debt and our ability to finance our operations, which may adversely affect the results of our operations and net income.

In addition, high levels of inflation may also adversely affect the Brazilian economy, which would reduce consumption of goods and, as a result, affect our financial condition, operations and profits. Any deterioration in our financial performance would also likely lead to a decline in the market price of our common shares and ADSs.

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

A significant portion of the products that we distribute, including LPG and fuels, have prices linked to commodity prices denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, we are exposed to foreign exchange rate risks that could adversely affect our businesses, financial condition and results of operations, as well as our capacity to service our debt. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

In 2022 and 2023, the Real appreciated , in each year, 7% against the U.S. dollar, while in 2024, the Real depreciated 27,9%. For more information on currency fluctuations, please see "Item 5.A. Operating and financial review and prospects—Operating results—Brazilian economic background.”

There are no guarantees that the exchange rate between the Real and the U.S. dollar will stabilize at current levels, and the Real and the U.S. dollar exchange rate may be adversely impacted by the economic and fiscal scenario. Although we have contracted hedging instruments with respect to part of our existing U.S. dollar debt obligations, in order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar/ Real exchange rate, we cannot guarantee that such instruments will be adequate to fully protect us against further devaluation of the Real and, as a result, we could experience monetary losses in the future. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market 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.

Economic and market conditions in other countries, including in the United States and emerging market countries, may materially and adversely affect the Brazilian economy and, therefore, our financial condition and the market price of the shares and ADSs.

The market for securities issued by Brazilian companies is influenced by economic and market conditions in Brazil, and to varying degrees, market conditions in other countries, including the United States, other Latin American and emerging market countries. Although economic conditions are different in each country, the reaction of investors to developments in one country may cause the capital markets in other countries to fluctuate. Developments or conditions in other countries, including the United States and other emerging market countries, have at times significantly affected the availability of credit in the Brazilian economy and resulted in considerable outflows of funds and declines in the amount of foreign currency invested in Brazil, as well as limited access to international capital markets. These uncertainties may materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow funds at an acceptable interest rate or to raise equity capital when and if we should have such a need, and the market value of our securities. In addition, we continue to be exposed to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets because of their effects on the financial and economic environment, particularly in Brazil, such as a slowdown in the economy, an increase in the unemployment rate, a decrease in the purchasing power of consumers and the lack of credit availability.

Furthermore, the implementation of protectionist policies or reversal of free trade policies in the United States, such as those implemented by the United States g overnment in February 2025, may have material adverse impacts on the global economy and adversely affect our businesses. Global factors such as higher U.S. interest rates, a stronger U.S. dollar, and tariff threats, combined with concerns over fiscal accounts, have heightened tensions in Brazilian financial markets during 2024, weakening the Brazilian real and driving up local interest rates. In spite of financial volatility, Brazil’s GDP grew by 3.4% in 2024.

Table of Contents

Disruption or volatility in the global financial markets, including as a result of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and in the Middle East , following the conflict in the Red Sea and resultant escalating tensions in the region involving the Gaza Strip , Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthi in Yemen or any other geopolitical tensions, could further increase negative effects on the financial and economic environment in Brazil, which could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, results of operations and financial condition.

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 their 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 against us or our Board of Directors or executive officers than would shareholders of a United States corporation.

Due to concerns ab out the risks of climate change, a number of countries, including Brazil, have adopted or are considering adopting regulatory frameworks which could adversely affect our businesses, financial condition and results of operations.

New laws and regulatory frameworks adopted by countries in response to concerns about climate change include the adoption of cap and trading carbon market system, taxes on carbon emissions, increased efficiency standards, bans on vehicles running on oil-based fuels, and incentives or requirements for the use of renewable energy. Such requirements can reduce the demand for hydrocarbon fuels at different rates and levels in each of the regions where our customers are located, as well as lead to a replacement of their demand with lower carbon sources. In addition, many governments are offering tax benefits and providing other subsidies and guidelines to make alternative energy sources more competitive with oil and gas, which may discourage the sale of certain products supplied by the Company’s subsidiaries.

Governments around the world have been encouraging the development of new technologies and companies have also been promoting research to reduce the cost and increase the scale of production of alternative energy sources, which could reduce demand for the Company’s products. In addition, current regulations on GHG, or regulations that may eventually be approved, could substantially increase the Company’s compliance costs.

In Brazil, Law No. 15 , 042/2024, establishing the Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBCE), was approved, though it still requires further definitions for its operationalization. None of the facilities of Ultrapar’s current portfolio exceed the emissions cap of 25,000 tCO 2 e/year, as established by the law. As such, there will be no immediate direct impact on the Company. Ultrapar actively monitors this risk, as it could become material in future acquisitions, leading to compliance-related financial impacts.

We may be adversely affected by the imposition and enforcement of more stringent environmental laws and regulations, including as a result of rising climate change concerns, that may result in increased costs of operation and compliance, as well as a decrease in demand for our products.

In December 2016, the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), seeking to fulfill the commitments made at the 2014 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21), launched RenovaBio, a program aimed at reducing carbon emissions and encouraging the production of biofuels in Brazil, such as ethanol, biodiesel, biogas and aviation biofuel. Under this program, biofuel producers and importers duly certified by the ANP issue CBios based on their sales and purchase invoices, while fossil fuel distributors receive annual decarbonization targets based on the proportion of fossil fuels they sell, which can only be met by purchasing CBios.

CBios are traded freely on B3, and their prices are set by market supply and demand, which can be influenced, among other factors, by unexpected regulatory changes, such as the postponement of the CBios purchase targets announced by the Brazilian government in July 2022. Since CBios prices can be highly volatile and targets increase annually, we cannot predict whether we will be able to successfully pass through our costs with CBios to customers, which could adversely affect our operations, market share, financial condition, and results. The possible unavailability of CBios or our inability to meet these targets may result in administrative penalties and the blocking of operating licenses. In addition, the Brazilian government is reviewing RenovaBio’s guidelines, and we cannot predict how these possible changes may affect us.

Table of Contents

In 2024 the Fuel of the Future Law was enacted in Brazil . One provision in the Fuel of the Future Law that could impact Ultragaz is the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target for natural gas producers and importers. This requirement could be met through the purchase of biomethane or future Biomethane Guarantee of Origin Certificates (CGOBs), which still await regulation by the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE). Companies currently using biomethane to decarbonize their operations may be affected if this renewable gas—already in limited supply in Brazil—is reallocated to meet targets imposed on natural gas producers and importers. This shift could drive up biomethane prices in the domestic market. Additionally, there is a risk that CGOB sales could become more commercially attractive than the biomethane itself, ultimately hindering Brazil’s decarbonization efforts.

The new legislation also mandates a gradual increase in the required biodiesel and ethanol content in diesel and gasoline, with biodiesel potentially reaching 20% of diesel and ethanol up to 35% of gasoline by 2030. Increasing the biodiesel percentage may require Ipiranga to invest in infrastructure upgrades and maintenance process adaptations , which could adversely affect our operations and results.

In addition, if we do not invest in research and development of new, less carbon-intensive solutions and adapt our operating structure to operate with cleaner energy sources, we may incur higher compliance and operating costs, which may have an adverse effect on our competitiveness and revenues.

Furthermore, if we violate environmental laws and regulations, we may face reputational damage with consumers, our business customers, investors, the communities in which we operate and other stakeholders, which could adversely affect our access to capital, revenues, and ability to obtain the necessary licenses to conduct our operations.

Floo ds, storms, windstorms, rise in sea levels and other climate change events could bring harm to our facilities, thus affecting our financial position and results of our operations.

Floods, storms, windstorms and other climate effects can cause production stoppages, interrupt supply chains, and damage physical structures. The rise in sea levels is also a risk to our operations since our businesses have assets in coastal regions and ports.

Additionally, adverse weather and navigability conditions, such as floods, droughts, natural disasters, waterway accidents, or accidents at the Company’s terminals - including environmental incidents and collisions - may potentially result in damages, penalties, fines, indemnities, or expenses payable to third parties and other claims against the Company . Furthermore, the Company’s operations may periodically be affected by crop failures, landslides, or other natural disasters that could impact the operational and/or financial conditions of its clients.

Company ’s recent investee , Hidrovias , operates in river systems in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, as well as on a limited ocean route related to coastal navigation. Any changes that adversely affect the navigability of any of these river systems or the ocean route - such as storms, silting, flooding, or the impact of drought, causing changes in water depth or the width of the navigable channel - may reduce or limit our ability to efficiently transport cargo through these waterways. 2024 was challenging for Hidrovias due to adverse weather conditions that disrupted its primary shipping routes. Hidrovias simultaneously faced severe droughts in both the North and South corridors, a rare scenario that led to significant operational restrictions and required adaptations.

Risks relating to our common shares and ADSs

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

Under the 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 exercise the voting rights of its 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 the Brazilian Corporate Law and our Bylaws, unless otherwise proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the voting shareholders at our Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, we must pay our shareholders a mandatory distribution equal to at least 25% of our adjusted net income, after the allocation of 5% of the net income to the legal reserve. However, our net income may be used to increase our capital stock, to set off losses and/or be 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 investors receive a dividend or not 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—Dividends and distribution policy—Dividend policy” for a more detailed discussion of mandatory distributions.

Table of Contents

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. 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 investors will have the right to the net sale value, if any. However, the preemptive rights will expire without compensation to investors should the depositary not succeed in selling them.

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. In order to surrender ADSs for the purpose of withdrawing the shares represented thereby, investors are required to comply with Central Bank and CVM Joint Resolution No. 13 , dated as of December 3, 2024 (“ Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 ”), which requires, among other things, that investors appoint a legal representative in Brazil. If the investors fail to comply with Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 , or the legal representative appointed by the investors fails to comply with Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 or to take action when required to do so, it could affect the investors’ ability to receive dividends or distributions relating to our shares or the return of their capital in a timely manner. Investors that are registered as Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 investors may buy and sell their shares on the Brazilian stock exchanges without obtaining separate certificates of registration. If investors do not qualify under Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 , they 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 the investor may be affected by future legislative or regulatory changes, and additional Brazilian law restrictions applicable to their 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 considerations.”

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

According to Article 26 of Brazilian Law No. 10,833/03, if a holder not deemed to be domiciled in Brazil for Brazilian tax and regulatory purposes, or a non-Brazilian holder, disposes of assets located in Brazil, the transaction will be subject to taxation in Brazil, even if such disposition occurs outside Brazil or if such disposition is made to another non-Brazilian holder. A disposition of our ADSs involves the disposal of a non-Brazilian asset, which in principle should not be subject to taxation in Brazil. Nevertheless, in the event that the disposal of assets located in Brazil 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 considerations—Taxation of gains.”

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

The shareholders of Ultra S.A. and Parth, which together owned 35.6%, of our outstanding shares (excluding shared held in treasury) as of April 14, 2025, have the right to exchange their shares of Ultra S.A. and Parth 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. holders if we are or become a PFIC under the Code.

If we were characterized as a PFIC, in any year during which a U.S. holder holds our 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 businesses, the projected composition of our income and valuation of our assets, and the current interpretation of the PFIC rules, including the Commodity Exception, we do not believe that we were a PFIC in 2024 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.

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, which dominated Brazilian kitchens at the time. Since then, Ultrapar has become one of the largest business groups in Brazil , investing in energy, mobility, logistics infrastructure , specialty chemicals and retail .

On December 31, 2021, our former wholly owned subsidiaries, Oxiteno (specialty chemicals) and Extrafarma (retail) , were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations, due to the signing of a share purchase agreement with Indorama in August 2021 and with Pague Menos in May 2021, respectively. The sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma were closed on April 1, 2022 , and on August 1, 2022, respectively and, as a result, these companies are no longer part of Ultrapar’s business portfolio as of these dates.

As of December 31, 2024, Ultrapar owned three main businesses: Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo. In addition, following a series of transactions, Ultrapar Logística, an indirect subsidiary of Ultrapar, acquired an equity participation in Hidrovias and, as of December 31, 2024, Ultrapar held a total stake of 41 . 94 % in Hidrovias.

Ultrapar Participações S.A. is a listed corporation incorporated under the laws of Brazil. Our main executive office is located at Brigadeiro Luis Antônio Avenue, 1343 , 9 ^th Floor, 01317 - 910 , São Paulo, SP, Brazil. Our telephone number is + 55 ( 11 ) 3177 7014 .

In addition, SEC maintains an internet website that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding Ultrapar electronically filed within the SEC. The address of the SEC’s website is www.sec.gov .

Below we describe our main continuing and discontinued operations. In 2022 , Ultrapar has ceased to present KMV (forme r ly abastece aí ) as a separate segment, due to the small relevance of this business relative to the overall results of the Company.

A. 1 . Continuing operations

Ipiranga

In 2007 , Ultrapar, Petrobras and Braskem announced their intent to acquire the Ipiranga Group. After the completion 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 and each party retained a one -third stake in RPR. For a more detailed discussion of the acquisition of Ipiranga Group, see our Form F- 4 filed with SEC on December 17 , 2007 .

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 , according to ANP.

In 2008 , Ipiranga entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Chevron for the acquisition of 100 % of the shares of CBL and Galena. The combination with Texaco created a nationwide fuel distribution business, strengthening its competitiveness through a larger operational scale. By the end of 2012 , Ipiranga had converted all the acquired Texaco branded stations into the Ipiranga brand.

In 2010 , Ipiranga acquired 100 % of the shares of DNP. DNP distributed fuels in the states of Amazonas, Rondônia, Roraima, Acre, Pará and Mato Grosso, with 4 % market share in 2009 in the North region of Brazil.

In 2016 , Ipiranga entered into an association agreement with Chevron to create a new company in the lubricants business, Iconic, of which Ipiranga and Chevron hold 56 % and 44 %, respectively. Operations started in December 2017.

In 2019 , Ipiranga made strategic moves to improve logistics efficiency and service quality through expansion of its own storage capacity by winning (i) the concession of specific areas in Cabedelo (state of Paraíba) and Vitória (state of Espírito Santo) through the consortiums Nordeste and Navegantes, in which Ipiranga holds 1 / 3 of the total participation, together with Vibra and Raízen Energia S.A., and (ii) two concessions in the port of Miramar, in Belém (state of Pará).

In 2022 , Ipiranga developed a turnaround plan focused on certain fundamental pillars of its business, namely (i) pricing intelligence, (ii) logistics and distribution, (iii) supply and trading and (iv) network management and engagement. Since then, the company has made significant advances, especially in the pillars of pricing, trading and network engagement.

In 2024 it continued to focus on these four essential pillars, especially logistics and distribution, aiming to keep results consistent, with a stronger and healthier network. In addition, Ipiranga announced the investments plan for 2025 , that includes an important investment in its technology platform for ERP and satellite systems, with productivity and efficiency gains.

Ultragaz

When Ultragaz began its operations, it served only the Southeast region of Brazil. As of the date of this annual report , Ultragaz operates nationwide in the distribution of both bottled and bulk LPG, including the most highly populated states in Brazil, such as São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Bahia, and may sell bottled LPG through independent dealers. Bulk LPG is served through Ultragaz own infrastructure.

In 1995 , Ultragaz introduced its own bob-tail trucks system to process small bulk distribution to residential, commercial and industrial segments, and started the process of geographical expansion through the construction of new LPG filling and satellite plants.

In 2003 , Ultragaz acquired Shell Gás, Royal Dutch Shell plc’s LPG operations in Brazil. With this acquisition, Ultragaz became one of the Brazilian market leaders in LPG, with a 24 % share of the Brazilian market on that date. In 2011 , Ultragaz acquired Repsol’s LPG distribution business in Brazil.

In the past few years, Ultragaz undertook a comprehensive review of its business strategy, leveraging itself in its innovative roots and using its experience, knowledge and reliability of its processes, products and services to create and offer energy solutions that meet its clients’ needs. This strategy shift was illustrated through the redefinition of Ultragaz’s business motto, making it broader, more inspirational and suitable to the Company’s goals. Ultragaz’s new motto is: “we use our energy to change people’s lives.”

On September 12, 2022, Ultragaz signed an agreement for the acquisition of all shares of Stella, a technology platform founded in 2019 that connects renewable electricity generators and customers through distributed generation, and the transaction closed on October 1, 2022. Ultragaz acquired Stella for a minimum amount of R$ 63.0 million, and an initial payment of R$ 7.6 million. In 2024 , the earnout amount decreased due to the update of assumptions , settlement and monetary adjustments . T he remai ni ng amount of R$ 42 . 2 million will be settled in 2027 , subject mainly to performance metrics of acquired company . Stella has been part of UVC’s portfolio (Ultrapar's Corporate Venture Capital fund) since 2021 . This acquisition marked Ultragaz's entry into the electricity segment, in line with its strategy of expanding the offering of energy solutions to its customers, leveraging on its capillarity, commercial strength, the Ultragaz brand and its extensive base of industrial and residential customers.

Additionally, on November 21, 2022, Ultragaz signed an agreement for the acquisition of all shares of NEOgás, a pioneer in the transportation of compressed natural gas in Brazil, operating in several segments including the industrial, vehicular and development of special projects in partnership with natural gas distributors. The transaction was approved by CADE in January 2023 and closed on February 1, 2023. The total value of the company (enterprise value) was R$ 165.0 million, subject to customary working capital and Net Debt adjustments. This acquisition marked Ultragaz's entry into the compressed natural gas distribution segment and, in addition, Ultragaz believes that NEOgás is an ideal platform to enable biomethane distribution opportunities. This transaction reinforces Ultragaz’s strategy of expanding its offering of energy solutions to its industrial customers, making use of its capillarity, commercial strength and brand.

On September 1, 2024, Ultragaz acquired a 51.7 % interest in Witzler Participações S.A. (“Witzler”). The acquisition value was R$ 104 . 5 million , of which R$ 49 . 5 million was contributed to the acquired company through a capital increase and R$ 55 . 0 million , was paid considering price adjustments at the closing of the transaction. In addition, there is an additional earn-out in the amount of R$ 45 . 4 million subject to certain performance conditions to be measured within up to 12 months of the closing of the transaction and payable in 2025 . Witzler, operates in the commercialization of electrical energy in the free market and in the energy management of its customers. This acquisition is aligned with Ultragaz's strategy of expanding its offering of energy solutions to its customers, leveraging on its capillarity, commercial strength, brand and extensive base of industrial and residential customers, consistent with the disclosure Ultrapar has been providing to its shareholders and to the capital market. Through Witzler, Ultragaz started to work with high voltage customers, consolidating its position in the electrical energy market.

Ultracargo

In the 1960 ’ s, the market demand for high-quality and safe transportation services led to our entrance in the transportation of chemicals, petrochemicals and LPG. In 1978 , Ultracargo Logística (formerly Terminal Químico de Aratu S.A. – Tequimar) was founded for the purpose of operating terminals. Later, it was acquired by Ultra par Logística . As of the date of this annual report , Ultracargo Logística is a subsidiary of Ultrapar .

In 2005 , Ultracargo started up a new terminal in Santos, in the state of São Paulo, its second port terminal. In 2008 , Ultracargo acquired 100 % of the shares of União Terminais held by Unipar, with port terminals in Santos and Rio de Janeiro. The combination of its operations with those of União Terminais doubled Ultracargo’s results and made it the largest liquid bulk storage company in Brazil, strengthening its operating scale. With this acquisition, Ultracargo increased its presence in the port of Santos, the largest Brazilian port, and was strategically positioned in the port of Rio de Janeiro, where the company did not previously have operations.

Also in 2008 , Ultracargo acquired a 50 % stake held by Unipar in União Vopak total capital stock, the owner of a port terminal in Paranaguá, in the state of Paraná, representing 28 thousand m³ of installed capacity. In 2022 , Ultracargo decided to discontinue its operations in Paranaguá and in 2023 the demobilization process of the storage capacity at this terminal was completed.

In 2009 , Ultracargo acquired Puma Storage do Brasil Ltda., a storage terminal for liquid bulk located at the port of Suape, in the state of Pernambuco. In 2012 , Ultracargo acquired Temmar from Temmar Netherlands B.V. and Noble Netherlands B.V., subsidiaries of Noble Group. Temmar owned a terminal in the port of Itaqui, in the state of Maranhão.

In March 2018, Ultracargo Logística acquired all shares of TEAS, owned by Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Araraquara Açúcar e Álcool Ltda., whose assets had already been operated by Ultracargo Logística in the port of Santos.

In April 2019, Ultracargo won the concession of the area VDC 12 at the Vila do Conde port, in Barcarena, state of Pará, with a minimum storage capacity of 59 thousand m³. The area will be operated by Ultracargo for at least 25 years. In December 2021, Ultracargo started its operations at this new terminal, with a total installed capacity of 110 thousand m³. The new terminal is in a region that is strategic for Ultracargo since it is the only independent provider of storage services for liquid bulk at this port.

In April 2021 , Ultracargo won the concession of the IQI 13 area in the Itaqui port, in the state of Maranhão, for storage and handling of liquid bulk products, especially fuels. The minimum installed capacity will be 79 thousand m³. The area will be operated by Ultracargo for at least 20 years, according to the auction notice. Ultracargo expects to start operating in this area by 2026 . Throughout 2021 , Ultracargo also completed the phase 3 expansion at the Itaqui terminal, which increased Ultracargo’s total installed capacity by 46 thousand m³, resulting in a total installed capacity of 155 thousand m³ in this terminal.

In April 2023, Ultracargo signed an agreement for the acquisition of a 50 % stake in Opla, held by Copersucar. The value of the transaction was R$ 237.5 million, subject to customary working capital and Net Debt adjustments. The transaction was closed on July 1, 2023, and Ultracargo Logística and BP are now co-controllers of Opla (joint venture), the largest independent terminal of ethanol in Brazil. The total installed capacity of Opla’s terminal is 180 thousand m³, and thus Ultracargo’s total installed capacity was increased by 90 thousand m³. The acquisition of this stake in Opla marked Ultracargo's entry into the inland liquid bulk storage and logistics segment, integrated with port terminals, in line with its growth plan. Opla is a strategic asset in the ethanol and derivatives distribution chain, with high growth potential and value creation, given the ability of opening the terminal to third parties. Also in the second half of 2023 , there was an increase of 10 thousand m³ of storage capacity in the Vila do Conde terminal and an acquisition by Ultracargo of a terminal from Ipiranga located in the city of Rondonópolis, in the state of Ma to Grosso , increasing Ultracargo’s total installed capacity by 12 thousand m³ and representing another inland terminal strategically located to handle ethanol and oil derivatives. This was the first transaction of this kind between Ipiranga and Ultracargo and created value for both companies. For Ultracargo, the highlight lies in expanding operations into the interior of the country, in line with the growth of the biofuels supply, while offering an integrated logistic solution, possibly expanding Ultracargo’s turnover and customer base. For Ipiranga, the transaction represented significant capital liquidity while maintaining the service level (Ipiranga has remained the main client of the terminal).

In addition to the capacity expansion in the Itaqui port described above, Ultracargo is currently building a greenfield terminal in the city of Palmeirante, which will be the first liquid bulk terminal in the state of Tocantins. The Palmeirante terminal is expected to increase Ultracargo’s total installed capacity by 23 thousand m³ by the second quarter of 202 5 and supplies fuels for the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Pará and Mato Grosso. The Rondonópolis terminal is also currently under expansion, and Ultracargo expects to add 22 thousand m³ of capacity to the terminal by the second quarter of 202 5 . Finally, the projects to expand the Santos terminal by the second quarter of 2025 and the Suape terminal by the second quarter of 2026 are expected to add 34 thousand m³ and 4 0 thousand m³ to Ultracargo’s total installed capacity, respectively.

A. 2 . Discontinued operations

As part of the review of our business portfolio aimed at streamlining and expanding our business operations through Ultragaz, Ipiranga and Ultracargo, within the energy, mobility and logistics infrastructure sectors in Brazil, we sold Oxiteno and Extrafarma.

Oxiteno

In August 2021, we announced the signing of a share purchase agreement for the sale of all shares of Oxiteno to Indorama and, on April 1, 2022, the transaction was closed. The initial payment of US$ 1,150.0 million (equivalent to R$ 5,449.6 million), adjusted by the variations in working capital and Net Debt position of Oxiteno of US$ 176.4 million (equivalent to R$ 834.0 million), resulted in the total initial payment of US$ 1,326.4 million (equivalent to R$ 6,283.6 million), which was settled on April 1, 2022. The final payment of US$ 150.0 million (equivalent to R$ 749.4 million ) was settled on April 1, 2024.

The conversions between U.S. dollars and Reais were based on the exchange rate of R$ 4.74 to US$ 1.00 on March 31, 2022 and of R$ 5.00 to US$ 1.00 on March 31, 2024, which were the commercial selling rates for U.S. dollars as of the respective dates, as reported by the Central Bank.

Prior to its sale to Indorama, described above, Oxiteno was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and had eleven industrial units across Brazil, the United States, Mexico and Uruguay, in addition to research and development centers and commercial offices in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Extrafarma

In May 2021, Ultrapar entered into a share purchase agreement for the sale of all shares of Extrafarma to Pague Menos and, on August 1, 2022, the transaction was closed. The initial price of R$ 700.0 million, adjusted by the variations in working capital and Net Debt position of Extrafarma of R$ 37.8 million, resulted in the total amount of R$ 737.8 million, which was settled on August 1, 2022. The payment of the last remaining installment of R$ 182.7 million will be adjusted by DI + 0.5 % p.a. since August 1, 2022, and is due in August 2024 by Pague Menos.

Prior to its sale to Pague Menos, described above , Extrafarma operated 399 drugstores in ten states of Brazil and four distribution centers, which were responsible for supplying all stores, located in four different cities: Benevides, in the state of Pará; Aquiraz, in the state of Ceará; Guarulhos, in the state of São Paulo and São Luís, in the state of Maranhão.

Corporate events

On October 6 , 1999 , we concluded our initial public offering, listing our shares simultaneously on B 3 and NYSE. In 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 determined that any transfer of control of Ultrapar, either directly or indirectly, 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 2011, our Board of Directors approved the submission to our shareholders of a proposal to (a) convert any and all shares of preferred stock issued by the Company into common shares, 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 listing segment rules. As of the conversion, Ultrapar no longer had a controlling shareholder. Our shareholders approved all the proposals and, in August 2011, Ultrapar’s shares began trading on the Novo Mercado under the ticker symbol UGPA 3 . 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.

In April 2019, the Company’s Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting approved a stock split of Ultrapar’s common shares, whereby one existing share now represents two shares of the same class and type. The stock split did not alter Ultrapar’s total share capital and was effective as of April 24 , 2019 .

In August 2020, Ultra S.A. and Parth entered into the 2020 Shareholders’ Agreement to include Pátria, in its capacity as Ultra S.A.’s shareholder then holding a 20 % stake in Ultra S.A.’s capital stock, as consenting intervening party, therefore bound by the provisions of the 2020 Shareholders’ Agreement. The 2020 Shareholders’ Agreement replaced the 2018 Shareholders’ Agreement in its entirety, and the terms and conditions remained substantially the same of the latter. On September 28, 2021, Ultra S.A. informed the Company that Mr. Marcos Marinho Lutz, our Ch airman of the Board of Directors , became a shareholder of Ultra S.A., holding 2.4 % of its capital stock, and became a consenting intervening party of the 2020 Shareholders’ Agreement . For more information about the 2020 Shareholders’ Agreement, see “Item 7 .A. Major shareholders and related party transactions—Major shareholders—Shareholders’ Agreements” and “Exhibit 2.9 —Shareholders’ Agreement dated August 18, 2020.”

Our strengths

Relevant market positions across our main businesses

Ipiranga is one of the largest fuel distributors in Brazil with a 17 . 3 % market share (considering only diesel, gasoline and ethanol) in 2024 , according to ANP, and a network of 5 . 860 service stations. Furthermore, it operates in the business-to-business market (B 2 B), supplying fuel and managing the supply of companies of different segments and sizes. There are more than 6 . 3 thousand large consumers who utilize Ipiranga’s products and services in their industrial, transport, logistics and cargo activities.

Ultragaz i s one of the leaders in LPG distribution in Brazil, one of the largest markets worldwide. According to ANP, Ultragaz’s total volume of LPG sold in 2024 was 1 . 7 million tons, leading to a market share of 2 2 . 9 %. We believe the strength of its nationally recognized brand, consumer last-mile expertise and the close relationship with its customers enables Ultragaz to identify opportunities to expand its product offering, not only related to LPG, but other energy solutions as well.

Ultracargo is the largest private company in the liquid bulk storage industry in Brazil, according to ABTL, with eight terminals and a total installed capacity of 1,067 thousand m³ in 2024 , providing it with strategic positioning in the main logistics hubs in the country.

Capillarity, robust infrastructure and national presence

As of December 31, 2024, Ipiranga’s 5,860 service stations were located in all Brazilian states, with a more prominent market presence in the Southeast and South regions. To supply its service station network, it also operates 90 storage terminals, with a total installed capacity of 1.132 thousand m³ among primary and secondary bases that are located in strategic positions throughout the country.

Ultragaz has a significant market presence in densely populated areas. Through its capillarity and last-mile expertise, Ultragaz developed an important role in the Brazilian LPG retail system. Ultragaz operates nationwide directly or through resellers with professionals visiting several customers daily. In 2024 , Ultragaz’s network served approximately 57 thousand business customers in the bulk segment and more than 11 million households in the bottled segment through a network of approximately 6 thousand independent retailers.

Ultracargo is the largest independent liquid bulk storage company in Brazil and the only player in the liquid bulk storage sector that is present in most of the major ports in the country.

Synergistic, robust and resilient business portfolio

We concentrate our activities in the energy, mobility and logistics infrastructure segments, through Ipiranga, Ultragaz, Ultracargo and Hidrovias, which we believe to be irreplicable assets with a consistent track record of operating results, solid operational scale, and structural competitive advantages. Our portfolio is complementary, synergistic, and focused on our core competencies and operational know-how, which we believe leverage the competitive advantages of each of our businesses, allowing for greater efficiency and value generation potential.

We believe Ultrapar’s businesses are simultaneously resilient and leveraged on the economic growth of Brazil. Some of Ultrapar’s businesses, such as the sale of LPG for residential use and fuels for light vehicles, are relatively resilient, due to their inelastic demand profile and, therefore, are less volatile in economic downturns.

We believe that our portfolio provides us with significant financial strength and flexibility, positioning us to seek further investment opportunities within the energy, mobility and logistics infrastructure sectors, with a growing focus on energy transition through renewable energy sources.

Strong brand recognition and close relationship with resellers

We believe that our businesses have a high brand recognition associated with quality, safety, and efficiency that we continually strive to deliver. We intend to reinforce this market perception by continuing to supply high-quality products and services and introducing new services and distribution channels.

Our strong relationship with dealers is an essential asset for the Company. We offer distribution exclusivity and differentiate incentive programs for resellers in Ultragaz and Ipiranga, and invest in training them to maximize efficiency, further strengthen our relationship with them and promote high-quality standards to all of our distribution network.

In addition, network management and engagement have been one of the main fronts on which Ipiranga’s management has focused its attention in the last years, and are one of the four pillars of Ipiranga’s turnaround plan. During 2022 and 2023 , Ipiranga conducted a legacy management process of its service stations, with a complete review of the network to optimize operations and to allow Ipiranga to strengthen its relationship with resellers that are considered true business partners, engaging with them in a close and transparent manner.

Cost-efficient operations

Ipiranga also has a significant market presence in Brazil, which allows it to operate its extensive network of primary and secondary storage terminals and its distribution system in a cost-efficient manner. Also, the increased scale of Ipiranga allows improvements in 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.

Ultragaz has a 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 with depth and capillarity. Additionally, Ultragaz launched in 2021 the SOU Program (Ultragaz Operation System Program), a strategic initiative focused on cost management that applies the lean methodology to standardize and improve the efficiency and quality of its processes in its bases.

Ultracargo’s presence in Brazil’s main logistic hubs provides it with increased operational flexibility, efficiency, and economies of scale. In addition, Ultracargo developed programs designed to improve its processes, such as Soul and Conecta, aimed at enhancing its productivity and operational efficiency to ensure a more efficient deployment of the company’s resources. For more information about these initiatives, see “Item 4 . Information on the Company—Industry and regulatory overview—B. Storage services for liquid bulk —Ultracargo— Storage facilities.”

Innovation in the LPG sector

When Ultragaz was founded in 1937 , it was due to Mr. Ernesto Igel’s pioneering idea of using LPG as cooking gas in Brazil, through bottles acquired from Companhia Zeppelin. The gas stove began to replace the traditional wood stove, which dominated Brazilian kitchens at the time. Since then, Ultragaz has been positioning itself as an innovative company in the LPG segment.

For example, in 1995 , Ultragaz was the first player to introduce LPG small bulk delivery in Brazil, with distribution costs lower than that of the bottled segment. Also, in the past few years, Ultragaz has been creating and offering new solutions to clients in the bottled and bulk segments. For bulk clients, Ultragaz has been developing new energy solutions, allowing them to power their operations with LPG instead of other more carbon-intensive energy sources, reducing their costs through energy savings and reducing their carbon footprint. In this segment, Ultragaz strategy is focused on two areas: (i) the industrial, agribusiness and residential condominium segments and (ii) small and medium-sized businesses. New applications and services for LPG in these segments include the preheating of industrial furnaces, especially in steel, lead, asphalt manufacturing and metallurgical plants; the drying of grains and seeds, with greater operational and economic efficiency; and laundry shops, restaurants, bakeries, and residential condominiums, through agile and convenience services. Ultragaz has also been expanding its digital relationship channels in the bottled segment, to both resellers and final consumers.

Consistent business and differentiated value proposition in the liquid bulk storage services sector

In 2024 , clients with contracts of more than three years accounted for 61 % of Ultracargo’s revenues, which evidences a long-term commercial relationship with them and stability for Ultracargo. In addition, the company operates with a diversified portfolio of clients. Ultracargo’s ten largest clients accounted for 62 % of its revenues in 2024 , with its three largest clients (including Ipiranga, a related party), accounting for 37 %.

All of Ultracargo’s contracts also contemplate a take-or-pay clause, in which the client is guaranteed to have the contracted storage capacity available, and Ultracargo is guaranteed to be paid for providing such availability, even if it is not fully used or not used at all. This further contributes to revenue stability, despite market volatility. Additionally, before starting to build a new terminal, Ultracargo seeks to enter into offtake agreements and guarantee the handling of products once it starts operating.

Through its multipurpose terminals, strategically located in Brazil, Ultracargo operates a wide range of products, such as fuels, ethanol, chemicals, corrosives and vegetable oils, which allows it to meet the needs of different clients. Besides other skills that enable Ultracargo to efficiently operate multipurpose terminals, the company has important operational know-how and engineering expertise concerning proper coating and cooling temperatures of its tanks to avoid chemical reactions that could affect the safety of the terminals. This product diversification also contributes to mitigating the effects of volatility in the commercial environment of a single product in the company’s revenues and positions Ultracargo to benefit more from spot sales. As Ultracargo’s terminals are able to handle fuels, either fossil fuels or biofuels, we see the company well-positioned for the energy transition.

Distinguished positioning in the fuel distribution sector

We believe that Ipiranga differentiates itself from its competition in the sector by having a more diverse array of products and services, thereby being a more convenient choice for customers. It has the largest franchise brand in the convenience stores segment, through AmPm, and in the lubricants segment, through Jet Oil. In 2024 , AmPm had a network of 1 , 450 stores, while Jet Oil had 1,120 units. Ipiranga also has one of the largest loyalty programs in Brazil, called Km de Vantagens . Ipiranga also has a 56 % stake in Iconic, a leader company in the lubricants segment in Brazil.

Strong corporate governance structure and alignment of interests

We believe we have been among Brazil’s leaders in the development and adoption of best practices in corporate governance. We use capital markets not only as an investment resource but also as a driver for the development and consolidation of our corporate culture. One of the central pillars of this culture is a shared responsibility concept, based on the alignment of interests.

We have a solid track record of pioneering initiatives in corporate governance. In 1999 , we were the first company to go public simultaneously on B 3 and the NYSE under an ADS Level III program. In 2000 , we became the first company in Brazil to offer all our shareholders tag-along rights at the same price in the case of a change of control.

In 2011 , we completed the implementation of a new corporate governance structure, which we believe further aligned our shareholders’ interests by converting all preferred shares into common voting shares. The conversion resulted in all our shares having identical voting rights, which allows our shareholders to participate in the decisions of our shareholders’ meetings without (i) any limitations on voting rights, (ii) special treatment to current shareholders or (iii) mandatory public tender offers at a premium to market prices once a certain beneficial ownership threshold is achieved. In that same year, our shares were listed on the Novo Mercado segment of B 3 , which is the B 3 segment with the highest standards of corporate governance and transparency. As of the date of this annual report , Ultrapar is a component of some of B 3 stock indices that extol companies with great corporate governance initiatives, such as the IGCT, IGC-NM, IGCX, ITAG and ISE.

To further enhance our corporate governance structure, we have a robust compliance program. One of the pillars of our compliance program is related to its guidelines composed of our Code of Ethics, a document revised in December 202 4 that guides the conduct of the Company members and their representatives from the external public, and our Corporate Policies, a set of more prescriptive documents covering procedures and controls to be adopted on topics such as corruption, good competition practices, conflicts of interest, among other issues related to corporate integrity. All these guidelines were approved by the Board of Directors and serve as a basis for training the employees of Ultrapar, in addition to be a reference to enforce the consequences in cases of misconduct. Ultrapar also has a Conduct Committee, a body directly linked to the Board of Directors, which consists of an independent and external president and executives of Ultrapar, including the Risks, Integrity and Audit Director, with the purpose of managing the application of the Code of Ethics, among others.

Our robust governance structure also includes the People and Sustainability Committee, which has been in place since 2011 , the Investments Committee, which has been in place since 2019 , and the Audit and Risks Committee which, since 2019 , is a permanent body with independent board members.

In addition, to strengthen the alignment of interests between management and shareholders, members of Ultrapar’s management receive variable short-term compensation linked to performance based on financial goals defined for each business and for Ultrapar, in addition to individual goals associated with the businesses’ operating and commercial performance, people development, projects execution, among other objectives, always in line with the strategic plan approved by the Board of Directors. Since 2022 , executives have at least 1 / 3 of their individual goals related to the ESG agenda. The long-term compensation plan, through which the Company’s executives become shareholders of Ultrapar, is mainly based on restricted shares, which are transferred to the executive’s ownership at the end of the vesting period.

Furthermore, we believe we are led by a strong and experienced management team with a proven track record in the energy, mobility and logistics infrastructure industries. As of the date of this annual report, our Board of Directors consisted of nine members, seven of whom being independent members. Under the Company’s Bylaws, our Board of Directors must be composed of 5 to 11 members, of which at least one -third (or two members, the highest) must be independent members. In 2021 and in 2023 , we were awarded the stamp Women on Board, a recognition of our corporate culture of incentivizing gender equality and the presence of women in our board.

On April 19, 2023, the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting promoted an important renewal of the Board of Directors combining candidates who were members of the Company's management, with four new candidates, who brought relevant and complementary experiences to the Board. On April 16 , 2025 , such members were reelected for another mandate, among other members . As a result , Ana Paula Vescovi, who was member of the Board of Directors since 2019 was replaced by Vânia Neves . Furthermore , t he Board of Directors approved an important renewal at the senior management level.

Value creation through a holding structure

As part of our portfolio, we consider the holding structure as a potential leverage to value creation in our Company. As a holding company with a diversified portfolio, scale, and listing in the domestic and international markets, we are able to access different sources and types of financing more efficiently than each of our businesses individually. The holding structure also allows for tax and capital allocation optimization, scale to administrative functions, attraction and retention of talented professionals, as well as institutional strength.

In 2024 , Ultrapar announced a new governance model for its three main businesses (Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo) , with the management of each such business henceforth reporting to its own Board of Directors. This governance model seeks to create greater agility, independence and accountability for each such business of Ultrapar. The holding structure consolidates these businesses and acts as a portfolio manager with a focus on long-term value generation across these businesses. For more information, see “Item 6 .A. Directors, senior management and employees—Directo r s and senior management.”

Strong operational track record

Our Company has exhibited a solid operational track record. Since our Initial Public Offer on October 13, 1999, we have never ended a year with net loss, presenting an average compounded annual growth of net income attributable to shareholders of the Company of 17 % f rom 1999 to 2024 , despite the overall macroeconomic volatility in Brazil and in the world during this same period.

Our strategies

Build on our strengths

One of our core strategies is to capitalize on our existing strengths, which have been important drivers of the Company’s growth, especially in recent years. We seek to preserve and further enhance the strengths described in “Item 4 .B. Information on the Company—Business overview—Our Strengths” as we look to the future. By leveraging our strategy in our established capabilities and resources, we aim to maintain our current market position and achieve sustainable growth.

Streamline our business portfolio and further invest in the energy, mobility and logistics infrastructure sectors in Brazil

Throughout 2021 , Ultrapar conducted a portfolio rationalization process, fully divesting from Oxiteno, Extrafarma and its 50 % stake in ConectCar, and concentrating its operations in the energy, mobility and logistics infrastructure sectors, in which we have robust operational scale, know-how and structural competitive advantages. In addition to allowing our management to focus on our core businesses, the divestments also contributed to reducing Ultrapar’s financial leverage. The revised business portfolio is mainly concentrated in Brazil, a country with several opportunities in the energy, mobility and logistics infrastructure industries and it is well positioned in the context of energy transition via renewable energy sources. Ultrapar is also well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities, considering the main strengths of its businesses, as described in “Item 4 .B. Information on the Company—Business overview—Our Strengths.”

We see our holding company’s role as that of an active, long-term manager of a portfolio composed of selected businesses in which Ultrapar can be the strategic shareholder committed to maximizing value generation.

Invest in building a succession pipeline for key leadership positions

We remain committed to building a pipeline of entrepreneurial leaders at Ultrapar as well as in our businesses. Through a combination of promoting internal talent, internal horizontal transfers and external hires, there has been a relevant renovation in senior management positions, covering all the senior management. From 2020 to 202 4 , we renewed 89 % of our senior executives, which include our statutory executive officers and businesses’ officers , and executive managers who report to our statutory executive officers, with a balanced mix of external hires and internal promotion and transfers. These movements have been carried out in a gradual, planned, and constructive manner. In the last years, we have worked to strengthen our management structure and governance, supporting the growth and longevity of Ultrapar. As part of our succession plan, a t the senior management level, the Board of Directors elected Rodrigo de Almeida Pizzinatto as Chief Executive Officer and Alexandre Mendes Palhares as Chief Investor and Financial Officer. C onsidering the end of the term of office of the Executive Officers elected in April 2023 and the new governance structure of the Company, Bernardo Sacic, Marina Guimarães Moreira Mascarenhas and Manuella Carvalho Campos de Oliveira were elected as executive officers of the Company .

Sustainability as part of the Company’s long-term strategic plan

Sustainability is intrinsic to the strategic planning of Ultrapar and its businesses, and aims to mitigate risks, foster opportunities and protect the Company’s value generation potential in the long term. We first conducted a materiality assessment in 2019 , and since then, through a process guided by global macrotrends, specific businesses’ characteristics, the stakeholders’ perspectives and industry practices, we identified our strategic priorities in the coming years. The priorities, which cover the three ESG pillars (environmental, social and governance) and are connected to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are Ultrapar’s seven material topics: (i) health and safety; (ii) governance and integrity; (iii) energy transition; (iv) eco-efficient operations; (v) responsibility for the surrounding communities; (vi) value chain and (vii) inclusive culture and diversity. In 2023 , the Company made public commitments to its ESG goals for 2030 , which are aligned with the material topics. In 2024 , Ultrapar made significant progress on its sustainability journey , a critical element of our strategic framework and the foundation for updating our 2030 ESG plan, which is slated for completion in 2025 .

Invest in new energy solutions through Ultragaz

As part of our strategy to expand the offering of energy solutions through Ultragaz, in September and November 2022, Ultrapar announced the acquisition of all shares of Stella and NEOgás, respectively, and in June 2024, Ultrapar announced the acquisition of a 51.7 % stake in Witzler. Stella is a technology platform that connects renewable electricity generators and low voltage customers through distributed generation. NEOgás is a pioneer in the transportation of compressed natural gas in Brazil, operating in sectors such as the industrial, vehicular and development of special projects in partnership with natural gas distributors. Witzler commercializes electricity in the free market and provides energy management for high voltage customers.

Such acquisitions marked Ultragaz’s entry into their respective sectors, which is in line with its strategy of expanding the offering of energy solutions to customers, leveraging on its capillarity, commercial strength, the Ultragaz brand and its extensive base of industrial and residential customers.

Expand our bulk storage capacity, including to inland operations, while seeking to maximize assets utilization

Ultracargo’s growth is mainly driven by expanding its installed capacity or increasing the utilization rate of its terminals. Over the last few years, Ultracargo has expanded its installed capacity and diversified its geographic position with gains of scale. In addition, Ultracargo began in 2023 to expand to inland liquid bulk storage and logistics operations, considering the growth of agribusiness and the growing demand for biofuels. The first move of Ultracargo to inland operations was in April 2023, when Ultracargo signed an agreement for the acquisition of a 50 % stake in Opla, the largest independent terminal of ethanol in Brazil. For more information on recent and future capacity expansions already announced by Ultracargo, also related to inland terminals, see “Item 4 . Information on the Company—Industry and regulatory overview—B. Storage services for liquid bulk —Ultracargo— Increases in installed capacity.”

Ultracargo also seeks to maximize its assets utilization rates through more efficient operations and diversification of transportation modes at each terminal. For example, Ultracargo created two programs, Soul and Conecta, to enhance operational efficiency, improve processes and management, reduce waste and increase safety standards. For more information on Soul and Conecta, see “Item 4 . Information on the Company—Industry and regulatory overview—B. Storage services for liquid bulk —Ultracargo— Operational efficiency and technology.” Furthermore, Ultracargo is currently investing in the construction of railway branches at Paulínia (state of São Paulo) to improve the transport of ethanol from the recently acquired Rondonópolis terminal to Opla, to improve liquid bulk flow and increase the potential utilization of the installed capacity in this terminal.

The logistics corridor connecting São Paulo and Mato Grosso (SP-MT) plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient transportation and distribution of ethanol and fuel derivatives between Brazil’s main production and consumption centers. The Rondonópolis terminal in Mato Grosso serves as a key hub for transporting corn ethanol to Paulínia (SP), one of the country's main storage and distribution hubs. The railway network plays a strategic role in this flow, ensuring efficiency and cost reduction in ethanol transportation to Greater São Paulo and the Port of Santos. Santos is home to Ultracargo's largest storage terminal, strategically positioned to handle the growing demand for fuel imports and ethanol exports.

The Maranhão-Tocantins (MA-TO) logistics corridor plays a strategic role in optimizing fuel distribution in a region with a structural production deficit. The Port of Itaqui serves as a key hub, ensuring efficient imports and distribution, while Palmeirante strengthens the corridor as a strategic rail terminal, enhancing connectivity to Maranhão, Tocantins, and Mato Grosso. With rail transport playing a central role, this corridor improves supply chain efficiency, reduces costs, and supports the region’s growing energy demand.

Focus on safer and more efficient operations in fuel distribution

In 2022 , Ipiranga developed a turnaround plan focused on certain fundamental pillars of its business, including: (i) pricing intelligence, (ii) logistics and distribution, (iii) supply and trading and (iv) network management and engagement. Since then, the company has made significant advances, especially on the pillars of pricing, trading and network engagement, but we still have room to further unlock value, mainly on the logistics and distribution front.

We see logistics and distribution as a more long-term, structural initiative, focused on optimizing processes and systems, increasing logistics efficiency and achieving better service levels. Ipiranga will seek to continuously invest in its logistic infrastructure in order to create a safer and more efficient operation, reduce the company’s operating costs and improve its productivity gains.

Develop the trading operations in fuel distribution

Supply and trading have been one of the main topics on which Ipiranga’s management has focused its attention, and one of the four pillars of Ipiranga’s turnaround plan. As Petrobras no longer supplies all the Brazilian market, there has been a necessity of distributors to supply their networks with either other local refineries’ products or imports and, therefore, the supply and trading intelligence has been a major competitive differentiation factor for companies engaged in the Brazilian fuel distribution market, as discussed in “Item 5 . Operating and financial review and prospects—D. Trend information.”

Since 2022 , we have seen several benefits of active and strategic trading operations on supply optimization, allowing Ipiranga to access global suppliers and expand its product portfolio. Apart from its supply role, trading is also essential in creating opportunities to benefit from market trends and, to some degree, navigate through market volatility.

We see potential in further developing our trading operations, but we are also looking to do so carefully, as our skills, market intelligence and risk governance evolve.

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 to create 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.

For a more in-depth discussion on actions taken by Ipiranga and other market players to curb anticompetitive practices, see “Item 4 . Information on the Company—Industry and regulatory overview—C. Fuel distribution—Ipiranga—Anticompetitive practices.”

Strengthen logistics infrastructure capabilities and expand presence in sectors exposed to the Brazilian agribusiness sector, through strategic investment in Hidrovias

Ultrapar’s acquisition of an equity participation in Hidrovias align ed with Ultrapar's strategic focus on logistics infrastructure, further diversifying its portfolio and enhancing its presence in sectors critical to Brazil's economy. It further underscores Ultrapar’s commitment to leveraging opportunities in logistics to create sustainable value. By investing in Hidrovias, Ultrapar aims to strengthen its operational efficiency, enhance regional connectivity, and capitalize on the growing demand for cost-effective logistics solutions, while prioritizing the most competitive and environmentally sustainable mode of transportation . This strategic alignment positions Ultrapar to increase its logistics capabilities and to contribute to the broader development of critical supply chains.

In addition to opportunities in the mobility, energy and logistics infrastructure sectors, Ultrapar also seeks to expand its business portfolio in the agribusiness sector, which has been showing relevant growth in the Brazilian economy in recent years. Ultrapar considers Hidrovias, one of the largest providers of integrated logistical services in Latin America, to align well with its expansion goals, presenting a distinctive asset characterized by substantial size and a strong potential for value creation in this sector.

Risk management and strategy

Ultrapar seeks protection against risks that may adversely impact the objectives and strategies established by its senior management. To ensure that risks are effectively assessed and monitored by the Executive Officers, the Audit and Risks Committee and the Board of Directors, a risk matrix that consolidates all of Ultrapar’s business risks was developed, encompassing five categories according to which the risks are classified and considering current and relevant topics to Ultrapar and its businesses. The five categories are described below:

Strategic and sustainability risks are associated with external and internal factors which may impact the competitiveness of the businesses and the Company’s long-term objectives, such as the influence of politics and the economy, market regulations, technological revolutions, sustainability (social and environmental impacts), and capital allocation decisions, among others;
Operational risks are directly linked to the operation of the businesses, related to daily activities and safety, environmental, quality and logistics procedures, as well as the relationship with suppliers and customers;
Financial and capital market risks are related to accounting and financial management, level of indebtedness and cash flow, preparation of financial statements and other interactions with the financial and capital markets;
Integrity risks are of a behavioral and regulatory nature, which may have negative consequences for Ultrapar’s business and/or reputation; and
Cybersecurity risks are associated with the stability and operational continuity of the Company’s information technology systems, compliance with governance rules related to security, and processing and storage of personal, financial, operational and strategic data.

Each topic is evaluated in a standardized way for all businesses, considering the internal and external environments and corporate or business-specific policies, and quantified in terms of impact and vulnerability, thus enabling greater focus of management on the most relevant risks. The resulting matrix, as well as risk analyses and proposed action plans, when necessary, are regularly discussed among the businesses, the Executive Officers, the Audit and Risks Committee and the Board of Directors.

For information on cybersecurity threats, see “Item 3 .D. Key information—Risk factors—Information technology failures, including those that affect the privacy and security of personal data, as a result of cyber-attacks or other causes, could adversely affect our businesses and the market price of our shares and ADSs.”

Governance

Ultrapar’s integrated risk management model has defined roles and responsibilities within different levels of its organizational structure, as described below. This overall governance structure applies to all risks monitored by Ultrapar, including those arising from cybersecurity threats. However, each risk theme may rely on additional structures, depending on the specific needs and risks.

Graphics

The Board of Directors is responsible for periodically assessing Ultrapar’s exposure to risks through the risks matrix and evaluating the effectiveness of risks management systems, thus ensuring that Ultrapar’s Executive Officers and the businesses are able to recognize, assess and control their risks properly.

The Audit and Risks Committee is responsible for assessing the effectiveness of risks management and internal controls mechanisms, evaluating Ultrapar’s risks matrix and submitting it to the Board of Directors’ approval, assisting the Board of Directors in assessing and defining acceptable risk levels and monitoring how risk non-conformities are being handled.

The Risks, Integrity and Audit Department is directly linked to the Audit and Risks Committee and is responsible for establishing the methodology for an integrated and comparative view of risks at Ultrapar and coordinating risks presentations and reporting at all organizational levels.

Table of Contents

Ultrapar’s Executive Officers are responsible for assessing the effectiveness of the risks management and internal controls mechanisms, proposing improvements to risks management mechanisms and validating the risks matrix before it is submitted to the Audit and Risks Committee.

The businesses’ CEOs are responsible for providing the necessary resources for the execution and maintenance of risks management mechanisms in their respective business. Officers of each business are responsible for guaranteeing the effective execution of risks mitigation and management mechanisms and controls in their jurisdiction, identifying and assessing business risks, quantifying risks in terms of impact and vulnerability in the business risks matrix and defining and implementing action plans for identified risks.

Risk owners are responsible for implementing risk mitigation and management mechanisms and controls, identifying business risks scenarios, describing the impact and vulnerability of the business in the identified risks scenarios, suggesting and executing action plans and mitigation controls and monitoring risks scenarios and indicators for their respective business. Each business also has risks and integrity departments of their own, which are responsible for disseminating the concepts of risks management in their business, supporting the Risks, Integrity and Audit Department, the directors and risk theme managers in identifying, quantifying and defining risks mitigation action plans, developing, monitoring and reporting controls related to the mitigation and management of risks in the business and supporting the implementation of risks mitigation action plans in their business.

Environmental, social and governance

As Ultrapar believes that sustainability is an essential theme for the continuity of its businesses, it is part of its strategic planning. In this context, Ultrapar defined its seven material topics, which cover the three ESG pillars (environmental, social and governance) and represent relevant topics on which the Company must focus its efforts. In 2022 , Ultrapar defined ambitions and goals for 2030 for each material topic and, in 2023 , disclosed them to the external public.

Ultrapar published a Sustainability Report for the year ended December 31, 2024, which brings together highlights of the year in the areas of finance, operations and ESG. The report was prepared based on the GRI standards, includes the SASB indicators for the Oil and Gas sector (Refining and Marketing), and presents data on Ultrapar’s governance, strategy, risk management and climate performance in line with best disclosure practices.

Material topics, ambitions and 2030 goals

Ultrapar’s materiality matrix was created in 2019 , based on a process divided into three major stages: (i) analysis of studies linked to the sustainability agenda, media publications, comments disclosed by investors, government bodies and national and international entities, applicable legislation and standards, and an assessment of the status of the businesses and their sectors of activity; (ii) consultations with Ultrapar’s main stakeholders – the Executive Officers, shareholders and investors, employees, regulatory and supervisory bodies, sectoral entities, civil society organizations and the media; and (iii) validation of the matrix by the Board of Directors.

We revised our materiality matrix in 2021 focusing on seven material topics, which we defined through a process guided by global macrotrends, specific business characteristics, stakeholders’ perspectives and industry practices. The defined material topics are also linked to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals. For each topic, the ESG 2030 Plan established an ambition and specific goals to be achieved by 2030 . The seven material topics of Ultrapar and their respective ambitions and goals for 2030 are:

Industry and regulatory overview

Distribution of LPG

LPG is a fuel derived from the oil or natural gas refinery process or petrochemical industry. It is produced from the separation of lighter fractions of oil when processing raw natural gas and is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, such as propane and butane. According to ANP, i n 2024 7 5 % of Brazil’s domestic demand was produced in local refineries and processing units while the remaining 2 5 % was imported. LPG has the following primary uses in Brazil:

Bottled LPG: used primarily by residential consumers for cooking. According to Sindigás, LPG reaches over 66 million households ( 91 % of the total households in Brazil) and is present in 100 % of Brazilian cities; 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, such as grains and seeds drying, cotton processing, temperature control in poultry and pig farming, coffee drying and roasting, application of resins on fruits and seedling and plant greenhouses.

Table of Contents

Historically, bottled LPG has represented a substantial portion of the LPG distributed in Brazil and is primarily used for cooking. The domestic heating usage of LPG is immaterial in Brazil due to its warm climate, leading to an overall lower consumption of LPG per capita in Brazil compared to other countries where domestic heating is a major element of LPG demand.

The LPG distribution industry consists in:

LPG supply and transport from production plants (refineries or processing plants) to filling stations;
Filling LPG bottles and bulk delivery trucks at filling stations;
Selling LPG to dealers and end users; and
Product quality control and technical assistance to LPG consumers.

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 via two main 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 main delivery method to large volume consumers, such as residential buildings, hospitals, small-and-medium-sized businesses and industries. In the case of bulk delivery, the 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 installation of bulk storage tanks is usually carried out by the distributors (such as Ultragaz).

The role of the Brazilian government. The Brazilian government historically regulated the entire chain of the LPG sector in Brazil, such as production, distribution and sale . The period from 1960 to 1990 was characterized by heavy governmental regulation, including price controls, regulation of geographical areas in which each LPG distributor could operate, regulation of services offered by distributors and governmental quotas for the LPG sold by distributors, thus restricting the growth of larger LPG distributors. In the early 1990 s, a deregulation process took place, easing the requirements for the entry of distributors into the market, reducing administrative burdens and removing regional market restrictions. There are currently no restrictions on foreign ownership of LPG companies in Brazil , provided that such company is incorporated under Brazilian laws .

The role of ANP. ANP is responsible for the regulation, contracting and inspection of economic activities and implementation of the government’s oil, gas and biofuels policies ¹ . 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 authorized by the ANP and must comply with certain minimum operating requirements, including:

Maintenance of sufficient LPG storage capacity;
M inimum share capital and m aintenance 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 Sistema de Cadastramento Unificado de Fornecedores – SICAF (the Unified Suppliers Registration System).
Assure an inspection certificate or equivalent document from the fire department and an operating license or other document issued by the municipal government.

LPG distributors are required to provide ANP monthly reports with their product movements of previous month .

LPG distribution to the final consumer may be carried out by the own distributor or by independent or exclusive resellers. The construction of LPG filling plants and storage facilities is subject to the prior approval of ANP and may only begin its operations after ANP inspection.

The Self-Regulatory Code/ANP Resolutions 957 / 2023 and 958 / 2023 . In 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 “ Código de Autorregulamentação ” (Self-Regulatory Code). See “—Ultragaz—Bottle swapping centers” and “— 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 enough bottles to service its sales volume.

All these characteristics had positive impacts on society and were incorporated by subsequent ANP resolutions, being in force to this day.

The role of Petrobras. Petrobras 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 and lasted until 1997 when the monopoly was lifted by the enactment of the “ Lei do Petróleo ” (Oil Law). Petrobras was historically the sole supplier of oil and oil-related products in Brazil, including LPG, and despite no longer being a monopoly, it is still responsible for most of the LPG supply in Brazil.

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 CONAMA, the Ministry of Economy, and the Ministry of Infrastructure are the primary regulators of LPG distribution at the federal level.

The Brazilian regulations require LPG distributors to obtain operating permits from the environmental agencies, from municipal authorities and from the fire department. In order to obtain and maintain the validity of such permits, distributors must prove to regulatory authorities that the operation 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 and jointly liable for environmental damages.

The LPG industry and market are also subject to occupational health and safety standards, including labor laws, social security laws and consumer protection laws. In addition, the company also has a sustainability policy that describes the best management practices for health, safety and the environment.

Ultragaz

As of December 31, 2024, Ultragaz was the leading company in the Brazilian bulk LPG market and the second largest in total volumes, according to ANP. Founded in 1937 , Ultragaz was the first LPG distributor in Brazil, when wood stoves and, to a lesser extent, alcohol, kerosene and coal stoves were used. For more information about Ultragaz’s history, see “ Item 4 .A. Information on the Company—History and development of the Company—A. 1 . Continuing operations—Ultragaz.”

Ultragaz is comprised of Cia Ultragaz, the company that pioneered our LPG operations, and has the following operating subsidiaries:

Bahiana, which primarily operates in the Northeast region of Brazil.
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 indirectly owns 57 % of Utingás. See “Item 4 . Information on the Company—Industry and regulatory overview—Storage of LPG.”
Ultragaz Energia, which comprises Stella, a technology platform that connects renewable electricity generators (solar plants) and customers through distributed generation. It is an alternative for low voltage consumers to access lower energy prices. The company was founded in 2019 and was acquired by Ultragaz in 2022 . For more information about this acquisition, see “Item 4 .A. Information on the Company—History and development of the Company—A. 1 Continuing operations—Ultragaz.”

NEOgás, a pioneer in the transportation of compressed natural gas in Brazil, operates in several segments including the industrial, vehicular and development of special projects in partnership with natural gas distributors. The transaction was approved by CADE in January 2023 and closed on February 1, 2023. This acquisition marked Ultragaz’s entry into the compressed natural gas distribution segment and, in addition, Ultragaz believes that NEOgás is an ideal platform for enabling biomethane distribution opportunities.
Witzler, which commercializes electricity in the free market and provides energy management for high voltage . The transaction was approved by CADE on July 8, 2024 and closed on September 1, 2024. Through this acquisition , Ultragaz, which already offers solutions for low voltage customers through Ultragaz Energia (as a result of the acquisition of Stella Energia), will also start working with high voltage customers, consolidating its position in the electrical energy market . For more information about this acquisition, see “Item 4 .A. Information on the Company—History and development of the Company—A. 1 Continuing operations—Ultragaz.”

Markets and marketing. When Ultragaz began its operations, it served only the Southeast region of Brazil. As of the date of this annual report , Ultragaz is present in almost all of Brazil’s significant population centers. In recent years, Ultragaz strengthened its presence in the North and Northeast regions, where it did not have significant operations, including the building of new bottling and distribution plants in Belém (state of Pará) and Fortaleza (state of Ceará). Distribution of bottled LPG includes mainly retail stores, carried out by Ultragaz’s dealership network, mainly using 13 kg ANP approved bottles. In the case of Ultragaz, the bottles are painted blue. Ultragaz’s operating margins for bottled LPG vary from region to region and reflect the distribution channel in the region.

The LPG bottled market in Brazil is mature and Ultragaz believes that growth in demand in the long term 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 the clients’ premises. Since 1995 , Ultragaz has been operating small-and-medium-sized bulk delivery facilities with bob-tail trucks, which deliver LPG in bulk mainly to residential buildings, commercial and industrial clients. Ultragaz’s clients in the commercial sector include shopping malls, 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 strategy for the bulk LPG distribution is to continue innovating its products and services for a variety of clients, including large, medium and small businesses and condominiums. Ultragaz has a team to identify the needs of each bulk LPG client and to develop technical solutions for using LPG as an energy source. It permeates the entire value chain of the bulk segment, based on: (i) differentiated value proposition for the client, (ii) standardization of processes, and (iii) rationalization of the installation process.

In 2024 , Ultragaz’s network served approximately 57 thousand business customers in the bulk segment and more than 1 1 million households in the bottled segment through a network of approximately 6 thousand independent retailers. The table below shows Ultragaz’s sales volume of LPG to clients of bottled and bulk segments:

Client category	2024	2023	2022
	(in thousands of tons)
Bottled LPG	1,113	1,122	1,127
Bulk LPG	633	616	579
Total tons delivered	1,747	1,738	1,706


^{( 1 )} Includes residential deliveries and distribution through retailers’ stores.

Residential delivery has evolved during the last years from primarily door-to-door to a scheduled format, through orders by phone or app.

LPG distribution is a dynamic retail market where consumers’ habits change constantly, thus creating opportunities for the company. In order to track market developments more closely and differentiate itself from its competitors, Ultragaz has developed and enhanced sales channels and payment methods. In the last decade, the company expanded Disk Gás (sale of LPG bottles by telephone) and, more recently, cell phone messages (WhatsApp) and through a smartphone app (Ultragaz app), which reached 7 . 5 million downloads at the end of 2024 . Ultragaz entered into sales partnerships with apps and KMV. These initiatives provide customers with greater convenience, add further value, and generate logistic optimization to Ultragaz. The same principles have been extended to the bulk segment, in which Ultragaz is a pioneer and has a leading position.

Ultragaz has been developing new technologies for different markets, such as industrial, agribusiness, small and medium businesses, residential buildings, and household customers. For agribusiness, Ultragaz has developed a new system to control the whole seed and grain drying process using Internet of Things (IoT) to optimize LPG consumption. In addition, Ultragaz has also expanded LPG uses portfolio to residential buildings, with a solution for remote gas metering, improving the technology for its customers and increasing the security of the reading process.

Table of Contents

Contracts. Ultragaz supplies its bulk clients based on contracts with terms ranging typically from two to five years. The contract also requires that any tank supplied by Ultragaz may only be filled up with LPG delivered by the company. By having customers in contract, Ultragaz is able to build a closer relationship and identify opportunities for expanding the consumption of LPG and for energy transition.

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 resellers and to industrial and commercial users have payment terms of 1 9 . 9 days on average.

Storage of LPG. On December 31 , 2024 , Ultragaz’s storage capacity was approximately 22.1 thousand tons, including our 57 % stake in Utingás’ storage capacity. Based on its 2024 average LPG sales, Ultragaz could store approximately 3 . 8 working days of LPG supply.

Ultragaz stores its LPG, which is delivered by the supplier and bottled predominantly in the liquid state, in large tanks at each of its filling plants located throughout the regions in which it operates. Primary filling plants receive LPG directly from refineries and processing units by pipelines; secondary filling plants are supplied by trucks; 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 a secondary filling plant. See “Item 4 .B. Information on the Company—Business overview—Industry and regulatory overview—A. Distribution of LPG” and “Item 4 .D. Information on the Company—Property, plant and equipment.”

Process of filling LPG bottles. The entire process of filling LPG bottles occurs within Ultragaz’s filling bases, which are equipped with infrastructure and technology supporting an automated process that is intended to provide safety of both employees and customers. At Ultragaz bases, bottles from Ultragaz and other distributors arrive and are later exchanged at bottle swapping centers. The first step in the filling process is visual inspection, ensuring that the bottles are in good condition and within the expiration date. Those that do not pass this stage undergo a requalification process. After this, each bottle is weighed to ensure that each one will be filled with the appropriate amount of LPG. Next, the bottles move to the carousel, where almost all the bottle filling is done automatically (with manual fine-tuning). Once the bottle is filled, it undergoes safety checks. The first check ensures that the O’ring (rubber that prevents gas leakage) is properly sealed, and the second is laser detection to ensure there are no leaks. Additionally, an additive is introduced to give an odor to the otherwise odorless LPG, ensuring easy detection in case of a leak. Finally, the cylinders are washed, dried, and painted before being returned to the customer.

Bottled sales derives from several factors, including the number of bottles bearing Ultragaz’s brands. As of December 31 , 2024 , there were 28 million bottles stamped with Ultragaz’s brands in the market , 26 million of them 13 kg bottles.

Distribution infrastructure. Ultragaz’s distribution strategy includes having its own infrastructure for bulk LPG, given that proximity to customers is a significant success factor. Ultragaz delivers bottled LPG, using a distribution network, which included 6 . 3 thousand independent resellers . Ultragaz has also invested in information technology for improving its processes, such as logistics optimization and production efficiency and owns a fleet of around 1 06 vehicles for gas bottles delivery and 311 vehicles for bulk delivery as of December 31 , 2024 .

On August 16, 2023, CADE approved the consortium agreement between Ultragaz and Supergasbrás for sharing part of their operations, infrastructure of LPG storage and filling bases. Through this agreement, Ultragaz has expand ed its presence from 19 to 24 existing filling bases. Through this partnership, benefits such as optimizing logistics routes, reducing costs related to operations, filling and storage and greater supply security and service levels for customers and resellers are expected. Neither Ultragaz nor Supergasbrás anticipate any change to their commercial operations.

On November 29, 2024 , Ultragaz announced that it submitted for approval CADE a partnership to be developed between Supergasbrás Energia Ltda. a nd Ultragaz , through the establishment of a special purpose entity (“SPE”), with an equal stake among such shareholders, for the construction and operation of a terminal at the Port of Pecém (state of Ceará) for handling LPG ( the “Project”). In addition to CADE’s approval, the transaction is subject to other precedent conditions, common for this type of transaction. Once approved, a structure with a storage capacity of approximately 62 thousand tons is expected to be built , which is expected to be concluded in 2028 . For this Project, investments of R$ 1.2 billion are estimated to be divided equally between the parties. The Project intends to promote greater security in the supply of LPG to the North and Northeast regions of Brazil , where national production of LPG is historically deficient.

Independent resellers. Ultragaz’s independent distribution network ranges from large resellers, which carry out extensive home deliveries, to single retail stores, which sell small quantities of LPG bottles. ANP Resolution 51 / 16 , as amended, sets that the independent resellers must be registered with ANP and comply with a list of prerequisites, 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, including a minimum distance from certain locations, such as schools. For the year ended December 31 , 2024 , 97 % of Ultragaz’s bottled LPG sales were made through resellers. The agreements entered between Ultragaz and independent resellers require the use of Ultragaz brand and the display of Ultragaz logo in the delivery vehicles and on the uniforms worn by the delivery staff. Proprietary rights of the trademark and the logo are retained by Ultragaz and are duly registered with INPI. All contracted resellers are Ultragaz’s exclusive representatives. Under the terms of the respective contracts, each dealer agrees not to deliver non-Ultragaz LPG bottles.

Table of Contents

Ultragaz understands that investing in the efficiency of its reseller 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 program is the Lapidar Challenge (exclusive excellence program for resellers), which seeks to standardize the best management practices of Ultragaz’s resellers, through the pillars of customer experience, business management, teams and resale structure, with focus on strict compliance with the laws applicable to the sector. Through a continuous evaluation process with annual cycles, resellers are classified into categories, allowing participants to verify their performance against Ultragaz standards of excellence and stimulating constant improvement. In 2020 , Ultragaz reviewed the entire program to turn it more attractive, contributing to an evolution in its dealer network continuously and bringing excellence in execution and a better customer experience.

In 2020 , Ultragaz created a digital relationship channel with its resellers called MAP – Meu Aplicativo Parceiro (My Partner App), which currently has more than 6 thousand connected partners. In this app, resellers have access to resources that improve their work process and to a marketplace platform, namely Portal Ultragaz , where they can purchase several items.

In 2020 , Ultragaz also developed the Amigu app, the company’s last-mile tool that identifies the closest Ultragaz’s deliveryman to the customer location. As of the date of this annual report , the app has more than 7 thousand deliverymen connected in more than 1 . 5 thousand cities across Brazil.

Distribution channels to bulk consumers. Bulk distribution is made directly to customers by delivering LPG to storage tanks located at customers’ facilities. Both large and small bulk distribution are mainly made by bob-tail trucks and, in some cases, third-party tanker trucks.

Ultragaz has improved the digitization of its processes and sales channels by offering an omnichannel solution to customers. This digital service channel offers greater security, transparency, and agility in service. Ultragaz’s logistics strategy is also focused on the customer journey. The investments in routing systems, demand planning and last-mile solutions are intended to provide high-level delivery and information services to the client, not only improving customer experience, but also raising Ultragaz’s operational efficiency.

Bottle swapping centers. Pursuant to the ANP Resolution 49 / 16 , as amended, distributors have established 9 operating swapping centers to facilitate the return of the bottles to the res pective distributor. Under the ANP Resolution 49 / 16 , as amended, LPG distributors were not permitted to refill third-party bottles, although they must pick up any empty LPG bottle tendered by customers in exchange for a full LPG bottle, regardless of the brand stamped in such empty bottle . 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.

Requalification of bottles. The lifetime of a bottle depends on several factors, the most important being the exposure of the bottle to corrosion from the atmosphere and whether the bottle has been damaged. The ANP Resolution 49 / 16 , as amended, provides that all bottles must be requalified after their first 15 years of use, and every 10 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. Ultragaz had to requalify 4.1 million bottles , 2.1 million bottles and 2.4 million bottles in 2024 , 2023 and 2022 , respectively.

Quality . Ultragaz is the first Brazilian LPG distributor to receive ISO (International Standards Organization) certification for excellence in quality management system and to receive Prêmio Paulista de Qualidade (the state of São Paulo quality award), recognized as the best company in management system.

In order to keep improving operations, Ultragaz launched in 2021 the SOU Program (Ultragaz Operation System Program), a strategic initiative focused on cost management that applies a lean methodology to standardize and improve the efficiency and quality of its processes.

Table of Contents

Due to the success and results achieved with the SOU Program in 2022 , in 2023 Ultragaz was awarded first place in management category at the prestigious LPG Award. This event recognizes the best initiatives implemented in the LPG industry in Brazil, featuring presentations from national and international debaters.

As the SOU program continues to deliver results, it has been expanded to logistics in 2024 , optimizing processes, reducing operational inefficiencies and improving OTIF rates.

Moreover, Ultragaz continually invests to improve the painting process at its LPG filling plants – every bottle is repainted before it is shipped to consumers. Investments in this area have been focused on modernizing the painting systems and equipment to achieve higher performance and lower carbon emissions. In this regard, Ultragaz has been using for several years solvents free of aromatic hydrocarbons and, more recently, experimenting “Bio-Paint” made of renewable plant inputs, which, we expect, should considerably reduce volatile organic compounds and CO 2 emissions into the atmosphere, and therefore be more environmentally friendly.

Supply of LPG. As of the date of this annual report , the main supplier of LPG to Ultragaz is Petrobras. In 2019 , Petrobras entered into an agreement with CADE aimed at promoting the competition in the gas market in Brazil, including the sale of shareholdings in companies operating thereof as a means of encouraging the entry of new players into the LPG supply network. In 2024 , 17 % of Ultragaz’s overall supply needs were met by private suppliers, other than Petrobras.

Prices of LPG. From 2008 to 2016, Petrobras increased LPG refinery prices for commercial and industrial usage only sporadically. Since June 2017, LPG refinery prices generally reflected international pricing levels and exchange rate variations, although there have been periods when oil derivatives prices in Brazil did not immediately reflect international due to Petrobras’s pricing guidelines, which softened the effects of price volatility in the international market on domestic prices. In November 2019, after a change in its pricing policy, Petrobras ended the price differentiation for bulk and bottled segments, and both were converted into one single price.

In 2022, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine increased volatility in oil prices, mainly in the first semester, with a direct impact on LPG international prices. As a result, Petrobras announced a new adjustment to the LPG price in March, 2022. In the second semester of 2022, international oil prices dropped. As a result, in September, October, November and December of 2022, Petrobras made new adjustments to the LPG prices, reducing the prices in approximately 23%, comparing August 2022 to December 2022.

In May 2023, Petrobras announced that fuel prices (including LPG) would no longer be set at the international parity price, as per the previous pricing policy. The new pricing policy seeks not to immediately pass on high market price volatility to consumers. In addition to the change in pricing policy, the price of LPG was affected by the change in the ICMS taxation rule. As of May 2023, the tax stopped being ad rem to be ad valorem, with a fixed value per state of R$1.2571/kg. The new legislation led to an increase in the price of LPG in most of the states in the country.

Throughout 2024, the price of Mont Belvieu LPG increas ed by 3 2 %, while Petrobras’ price had a positive variation of 9 . 7 %. The last price adjustment made by Petrobras was in July 2024, a 9. 9 % increase, on average, between the Santos and Suape delivery points.

Competition. Ultragaz’s main competitors are:

Copa Energia: a group created in 2021 that owns the LPG distributors Liquigás and Copagaz ;
Nacional Gás: a Brazilian LPG distributor, which has been present in the market for more than 70 years; and
Supergasbrás: a company controlled by SHV Energy (a major multinational LPG distributor), formed by the merger of Minasgás S.A. and Supergasbrás S.A.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the market share of Ultragaz and its LPG competitors in terms of volume, according to ANP:

	Year ended December 31,
LPG distributor	2024	2023	2022
Copa Energia (Liquigás + Copagaz)	24 . 3 %	24.1%	24.5%
Ultragaz	23 . 0 %	23.4%	23.1%
Nacional Gás	21 . 3 %	21.5%	21.8%
Supergasbrás	2 0 . 6 %	20.6%	20.8%
Others	10 . 8 %	10.3%	9.9%
Total	100.0%	100.0%	100.0%

Since per capita consumption is small, low distribution cost is a critical factor in dictating profitability. Therefore, LPG distributors largely compete based on efficiencies in distribution and delivery as all LPG distributors currently purchase most of their LPG requirements from Petrobras, and as Petrobras’ refinery price charged to the distributors is the same to all LPG distributors. Ultragaz’s main markets, including the cities of São Paulo, Salvador and Recife, are highly populated areas and, therefore, distribution to these markets can be carried out with great economies of scale, resulting in lower distribution costs. Additionally, Ultragaz benefits from low bulk LPG distribution costs.

As of December 31, 2024, the LPG distribution industry in Brazil consists of 19 LPG distribution companies or groups of companies and is regulated by the ANP. In August 2019, Copagaz, Itaúsa, Nacional Gás and Fogás entered into an agreement with Petrobras to acquire Liquigás, which was approved by CADE in November 2020 and closed in December 2020, marking the exit of Petrobras from the LPG distribution market. The agreement created Copa Energia in 2021, one of the main players in the LPG distribution market.

In addition to competing with other LPG distributors, Ultragaz competes with companies that offer alternative energy sources to LPG, such as natural gas, wood, diesel, fuel oil and electricity. While fuel oil is less expensive, LPG has performance and environmental advantages in most uses. As a result, natural gas is currently the main source of energy Ultragaz competes with.

The natural gas segment has become increasingly more competitive relative to LPG over the last years, especially in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, as a result of increased investments in the natural gas infrastructure grid in these regions. Going forward, we expect the natural gas market to receive further investments and witness the entry of new players following the agreement between Petrobras and CADE to promote competition in the sector. For example, in July 2022, Petrobras sold its 51% stake in Gaspetro (currently Commit Gás S.A.), a holding company with a stake in piped gas distribution companies located in different states of Brazil, to Compass Gás e Energia S.A., a company controlled by Cosan.

Besides the grid development, current investments in liquified natural gas terminals will increase the supply of natural gas, which will likely facilitate small-scale operations. This type of operation competes against LPG in areas where the natural gas grid/pipes do not reach. The natural gas sector, in general, is a threat for LPG, especially for industries in the bulk segment.

To mitigate the competitive risk with natural gas, Ultragaz has been focusing its operations more on inland regions, which are far from the natural gas infrastructure grid. Besides, Ultragaz has been seeking to offer LPG to smaller bulk customers, as it tends to be more competitive than natural gas.

In 2024, the Brazilian LPG market increased by 2 . 2 % compared to 2023, according to ANP data, as a result of the increase of 6 . 1 % in the bulk segment, driven by the country’s economic growth, and 0 . 9 % incre ase in the bottled segment, due to slightly hi gher market demand.

Income tax exemption status. Brazilian legislation provides a 75% income tax reduction for businesses located in the Northeast region of Brazil, which depends on SUDENE’s formal and previous approval. Ultragaz is entitled to this tax benefit at its filling plants located at Mataripe, Caucaia, Juazeiro, Aracaju and Suape until 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2027, respectively. The total amount of SUDENE’s income tax exemption for the Ultragaz segment for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, was R $4 5.3 million, R$64.7 million and R$56.4 million, respectively.

B. Storage services for liquid bulk

Port infrastructure and efficiency are key factors in economic development, especially international and regional trade development. There are three types of port management systems:

Landlord ports: under this model, which is the most common one, both the public and private sectors are engaged in the overall management of the port, whereupon terminals are leased to private companies through concession agreements. Companies are granted long-term leases, associated with rights to operate the terminal, in exchange for fixed and/or variable payments. Under the landlord port model, the public port is responsible for maintenance and investments in infrastructure and for acting as a local regulator, whereas the private companies are responsible for maintenance and investments in infrastructure and for providing storage services to users. All of Ultracargo’s port terminals (Santos, Aratu, Suape, Itaqui, Vila do Conde and Rio de Janeiro) are in ports under the landlord port system;
Public service ports: the port authority of public service ports performs the whole range of port-related services and is responsible for maintenance and investments in all infrastructure, which they own. These ports are formed as branches of the government but some services may be outsourced to private companies. As of the date of this annual report , there is no public service port in Brazil;
Private service ports: under this model, the ports are privatized ports that are privately owned and managed, but subject to regulatory oversight. Government-owned entities can be relevant shareholders of these ports and therefore influence its management to adopt strategies in line with the public interest. The ports of Itapoá (state of Santa Catarina) and Açu (state of Rio de Janeiro) are private service ports.

The Brazilian Ministry of Ports and Airports classifies cargo into the following categories, according to the National Port Logistic Plan ( N P LP):

Solid bulk: sugar, soybeans, corn, lumber, cereal;
Mineral solid bulk: fertilizers, coal, metals, salt;
Liquid bulk (fuel and chemicals): oil, alcohol, chemicals, fuels;
Liquid bulk (vegetable): vegetable oils, food, juice; and
Containerized and general cargo: machines, equipment, furniture, food, clothing, vehicles, livestock.

According to the information presented by ANTAQ, in 2024, solid bulk accounted for 60 % of all cargo handled in Brazilian ports, followed by liquid bulk 24 % and containerized and general cargo 17 %.

Regulation . Port infrastructure and services in Brazil are regulated by ANTAQ, which was created in 2001 to implement, regulate and enforce guidelines established by the Ministry of Ports and Airports. The agency dedicates efforts to ensure an adequate level of competition and tariffs, and to balance the interests of clients and service providers.

Ultracargo

Ultracargo is the largest private provider of liquid bulk storage services in Brazil. The company stores and handles liquid bulk, mainly fuels, chemicals, ethanol, corrosives and vegetable oils. Through its multipurpose terminals, Ultracargo operates a wide range of products, which allows it to meet the needs of different clients. In 2024, 58 % of Ultracargo’s net revenues were comprised by handling of gasoline and diesel, 22 % of chemicals, 8 % of alcohol and 12 % of other liquid bulk product .

Besides other skills that allow Ultracargo to efficiently operate multipurpose terminals, the company has important operational know-how concerning proper coating and cooling temperatures of its tanks to avoid chemical reactions that could affect the safety of the terminals.

Clients. Ultracargo operates with a diversified portfolio of clients and long-term contracts. In 2024, Ultracargo’s ten largest clients accounted for 62 % of its revenues, with its three largest clients (including Ipiranga, a related party), accounting for 37 %. In the same period, clients with contracts in the spot model (term of less than one year) and with terms of one to three years, three to five years and more than five years accounted for 1 1 %, 2 9 %, 1 7 % and 4 3 % of its revenues, respectively.

Ultracargo’s record results and profitability in recent years are a result of its strategy of expanding capacity and gaining operational efficiency, safety and productivity, as well as opportunities associated with the energy transition. The company seeks alternatives to expand to inland operations, increasing its market relevance in biofuels handling, mainly ethanol, connected to the potential that Brazil has to lead the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Storage facilities . As of December 31, 2024, Ultracargo operated 8 terminals with a total storage capacity of 1,067 thousand m³, providing it with strategic positioning in the main logistics hubs in Brazil. Ultracargo’s port terminals (with exception of those in Paulínia and Rondonópolis) are multipurpose and can store multiple types of liquid bulk according to market demand. The following table sets forth the main characteristics of each storage facility operated by Ultracargo:

Facility	Installed capacity (in thousand m³)	Land and infrastructure ownership	Transportation modals
Santos (state of São Paulo)	297	Private (2)	Maritime + road
Aratu (state of Bahia)	218	Public (leasing)	Maritime + road + rail + pipe
Suape (state of Pernambuco)	158	Public (leasing)	Maritime + road + pipe
Itaqui ( state of Maranhão)	155	Public (leasing)	Maritime + road + p ipe
Vila do Conde ( state of Pará)	120	Public (leasing)	Maritime + road
Paulínia (1) (state of São Paulo)	90	Private	Road + pipe
Rio de Janeiro ( state of Rio de Janeiro)	17	Public (leasing)	Maritime + road
Rondonópolis (state of Mato Grosso)	12	Private	Road + rail
Total	1,067

(1)	Opla, a joint-venture with BP. Ultracargo has a 50% stake (total terminal capacity: 180 thousand m³)
(2)	The port of Santos operates under a landlord model, but as an exception, Ultracargo’s land and infrastructure are private (it does not operate under a concession contract)

In 2023, Ultracargo began investing in inland terminals, with the goal of expanding its port operations. We expect that these new terminals will play a crucial role as strategic storage centers, increasing the flexibility of port terminals. With this expansion, we intend to offer even broader coverage to our customers, and provide greater operational efficiency.

Additionally, as these terminals will be integrated into the country’s main railway networks, customers will have access to more agile and reliable logistics for storing and transportation. The recent acquisitions of the Paulínia and Rondonópolis terminals represent a significant step to improve the connection between the products and services offered by Ultrapar and its subsidiaries and the Brazilian agribusiness sector.

Increases in installed capacity. In 2019, Ultracargo’s operational capacity in Santos increased by 84 thousand m³ as a result of the retrofit of 38 thousand m³ in July and the repair of 46 thousand m³ in September. In October 2019, Ultracargo added 30 thousand m³ to Itaqui’s capacity through the implementation of the first phase, out of three phases of its expansion. Also, in 2019, Ultracargo won a bid for a greenfield terminal in Vila do Conde’s port, located in Barcarena, state of Pará. Vila do Conde is considered a strategic position for Ultracargo, since it allows the company to meet the increasing demand for fuel at the state of Pará. Ultracargo incorporated Tequimar Vila do Conde Logística Portuária S.A. in 2019 in connection with Vila do Conde’s concession. See “Item 4.A. Information on the Company—History and development of the Company—A.1. Continuing operations— Ultracargo.”

In 2020, Ultracargo’s operational capa city in Itaqui increased by 24 thousand m³ through the full implementation of the second phase and beginning of the third phase of its expansion.

In 2021, Ultracargo accomplished several milestones related to its expansion plan, consolidating its position and leadership in the liquid bulk market. In April, the company won the public auction to operate in the IQI13 area at the Itaqui port, in the state of Maranhão, where the company already operates and is the market leader. The new area will increase Ultracargo’s total installed capacity by 4 2 thousand m³ and its operations are expected to start up to 2026 , due to a contractual obligation with the port authority . Throughout 2021, Ultracargo concluded the third phase of its expansion at the Itaqui terminal, which further increased its capacity by 46 thousand m³, resulting in a total installed capacity of 155 thousand m³. At the Vila do Conde terminal, Ultracargo started its operations in December 2021, with a total installed capacity of 1 2 0 thousand m³. Ultracargo currently is the only provider of storage services for liquid bulk at this port, which marks an important step in the expansion plan for the North region.

In 2022, Ultracargo decided to discontinue its operations in Paranaguá and in 2023 the demobilization process of the storage capacity at this terminal was completed.

In 2023, Ultracargo took several actions to increase its capacity, in different locations. In April, the company signed an agreement for the acquisition of a 50% stake in Opla, held by Copersucar. The transaction was closed on July 1, 2023, and Ultracargo and BP are now co-controllers of Opla, the largest independent terminal of ethanol in Brazil. The total installed capacity of Opla’s terminal is 180 thousand m³, and thus Ultracargo’s total installed capacity was increased by 90 thousand m³. The acquisition of this stake in Opla marks Ultracargo’s entry into the inland liquid bulk storage and logistics segment, integrated with port terminals, in line with its growth plan. Opla is a strategic asset in the ethanol and derivatives distribution chain, with high growth potential and value creation, given the ability of opening the terminal to third parties and relevant productivity gains in using the asset.

Also in the second half of 2023, there was an increase of 10 thousand m³ of storage capacity in the Vila do Conde terminal due to the acquisition by Ultracargo of an asset from Ipiranga and the start of operations in a terminal in the city of Rondonópolis, in the State of Mato Grosso, also acquired by Ultracargo from Ipiranga, representing another inland terminal strategically located to handle ethanol and oil derivatives. The Rondonópolis terminal is currently under expansion, and Ultracargo expects to add 22 thousand m³ of capacity to the terminal , with work expected to begin in second quarter of 2025.

In addition to the capacity expansion in the Itaqui port described above, Ultracargo is currently building a greenfield terminal in the city of Palmeirante, which will be the first liquid bulk terminal in the state of Tocantins. The Palmeirante terminal is expected to increase Ultracargo’s total installed capacity by 23 thousand m³ in 2025 and supply fuels for the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Pará and Mato Grosso . Finally, the projects to expand the Santos terminal by the second quarter of 2025 and the Suape terminal by the second quarter of 2026 are expected to add 34 thousand m³ and 40 thousand m³ to Ultracargo’s total installed capacity, respectively.

Assets utilization . The following table sets forth the m³ sold at Ultracargo’s port terminals in 2024, 2023 and 2022.

	Volume sold (in thousand m³)
Facility	2024	2023	2022
Santos (state of São Paulo)	3 ,822	4,241	3,729
Itaqui (state of Maranhão)	3,576	3,732	3,432

Operational efficiency and technology. In 2020, Ultracargo created two innovative and strategic programs: Conecta, a digital transformation program designed to develop and improve processes across various areas of the company and enhance operational efficiency based on a new software architecture; and Soul, a new operational management model designed to optimize the terminal’s operations. In 2021, the company concluded the implementation of Conecta at the terminals of Itaqui, Suape, Vila do Conde and at its headquarters, and the implementation in all terminals was concluded in the first semester of 2023. The Soul program already demonstrates notable gains related to continuous improvement in processes and management methods, in addition to reduction in waste, optimization of operational processes, increased productivity and safety standards.

Competition. Ultracargo remains among the leaders in all the ports in which we operate. According to ABTL, Ultracargo’s market share in product storage in 2024 was 100 % in Rio de Janeiro, 65 % in Aratu, 45 % in Itaqui, 21 % in Suape, 17 % in Santos and 100 % in Vila do Conde. Ultracargo’s national geographic presence represents a competitive advantage compared to local operators, allowing it to offer differentiated proposals to customers compared to other players.

Ultracargo operates in a highly regulated and capital-intensive market. Terminal lease contracts are usually long-term, as well as contracts with clients. Port competitiveness and overall structure are important factors to determine the most efficient route for each product. At the same time, the terminal’s operational efficiency, quality of service, capacity, and price level are factors to determine which operator will be more competitive within the port.

Ultracargo’s main competitors are:

Cattalini: is the largest liquid bulk operator in Paranaguá port, with 610 thousand m ³ of installed capacity;
Ageo: is the largest liquid bulk operator in Santos port, with 520 thousan d m³ of installed capacity;
Odfjell: is one of the world leaders in liquid bulk storage and has 331 thousand m³ of installed capacity in Brazil, distributed across the ports of São Luís, Teresina, Palmas, Ladário, Santos, and Rio Grande; and
Vopak: is one of the world leaders in tank storage and operates terminals in Santos and Aratu , with 399 thousand m³ of installed capacity .

The following table sets forth the market share of private providers of liquid bulk storage in port terminal in terms of volume handled according to ABTL in 2024, 2023 and 2022:

	Market share – Volume handled (tons)
	2024	2023	2022
Ultracargo	22 . 5 %	23.8 %	24.7%
Cattalini	15 . 3 %	17.8 %	17.3%
Ageo	11 . 6 %	13.0 %	13.0%
Odfjell	8 . 6 %	8.8 %	9.9%
Vopak	7 . 2 %	7.0 %	7.1%
TFB S/A	5 . 3 %	5.9 %	6.6%
Others	29 . 4 %	23.7 %	21.4%

In addition to competing with players operating at the same terminal, in some cases, two or more different terminals may have overlapping areas of influence.

Furthermore, some of our main clients are fuel distributors (such as Ipiranga). These companies also have their own capacity for fuel storage and can expand their logistics infrastructure, reducing the demand for Ultracargo’s storage services and even offering storage services to other distributors.

Maintenance and quality control . We believe that Ultracargo stands out for its engineering and project execution skills, which is fundamental in the capital-intensive logistics infrastructure segment. During the design phase of each terminal, Ultracargo creates a preventive maintenance program, considering a schedule for rotational tank shutdowns to ensure storage supply and meeting all clients’ needs. In addition, Ultracargo has a team of employees dedicated to ensuring appropriate level of quality in its services and compliance with safety standards.

Environmental, health and safety standards. Ultracargo is 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. CONAMA is the main responsible body 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. Ultracargo must also obtain authorizations and/or licenses from federal, state, and/or municipal environmental agencies and fire departments to implement and operate their facilities. Ultracargo is required to develop and implement programs to control air and water pollution and hazardous waste, emergency plans for its terminals and headquarters. Some of the products stored in Ultracargo’s terminals such as fuel and some chemicals may be classified as hazardous by The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG), which is also used by ANTAQ. The storage and transport of these products may be subject to specific regulation and authorization by the port authority. Ultracargo is in compliance with international standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 4500 1.

Quality . In 2002, Santos and Rio de Janeiro’s terminals obtained an ISO 14001 certification and the OHSAS 18001 certificate in the next year. In 2007, Ultracargo’s terminal in Aratu obtained an ISO 14001 certification and then, in 2012, obtained the OHSAS 18001 certificate. In 2011, Suape terminal obtained an ISO 14001 certification and the OHSAS 18001 certificate in the next year. In 2015, Itaqui terminal obtained both an ISO 14001 and the OHSAS 18001 certifications.

Since then, Ultracargo's terminals have undergone several recertification processes, with the most recent taking place in 2024 for the Aratu, Itaqui, Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Suape, and Matriz terminals. Additionally, the Vila do Conde terminal was certified under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards in the same year.

In 2024, Ultracargo also launched its new Integrated Management System Policy - SOUL, which incorporates a set of best practices focused on safety, environmental protection, and risk mitigation, applicable to all its terminals .

F ire at storage facilities in Santos. In 2015, a fire occurred in six ethanol and gasoline tanks operated by Ultracargo in Santos, which represented 4% of the company’s overall capacity as of December 31, 2014. The Civil and Federal Polices investigated the accident and its impacts and concluded that determining the cause of the accident and identifying any specific actions related to the cause was not possible. Accordingly, there was no criminal charge against either any individual or Ultracargo, by such authorities. Notwithstanding, on February 21, 2018, the Federal Criminal Court of Santos accepted a criminal indictment filed by the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office against Ultracargo Logística (formerly Tequimar), which presented its defense against these charges, after being summoned in June 2018.

In 2017, Ultracargo obtained the licensing required for the return to operation of 67.5 thousand m³ of the total of 151.5 thousand m³ affected by the fire. The remaining tanks (84 thousand m³) resumed operations between July and September 2019.

In 2019, Ultracargo signed a partial Conduct Adjustment Agreement (“TAC”) with the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office and the State Public Prosecutor’s Office in the amount of R$67.5 million for the implementation of actions to offset the impacts caused to the Santos estuary following the fire at the Ultracargo terminal in 2015. Such amount was already paid in full by Ultrapar. Negotiations of indemnification for other alleged environmental damages are still in progress with the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office and the State Public Prosecutor’s Office and, once finalized, Ultracargo may need to make future disbursements that are not currently provisioned, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

In addition, Ultracargo agreed to a deferred prosecution agreement in 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the deferred prosecution agreement, the prosecution by the 5th Federal Criminal Court of Santos was initially suspended until September 2021 and Ultracargo agreed to an additional compensation of R$13.0 million to a social project in Santos. Considering that Ultracargo complied with the obligations assumed in the TAC, at the end of the suspension period, Ultracargo requested the criminal proceeding to be closed by the court, which was granted on June 23, 2022, with recognition of compliance with the imposed conditions.

Therefore, the measures pursuant to an agreement signed between Ultracargo and the Public Prosecutor’s Office in relation to certain alleged environmental damages are in process of being implemented. As a result of the evolution of the regulation process with insurers, as of December 31, 2016, the company recorded insurance receivables in the amount of R$366.7 million and indemnities to customers and third parties in the amount of R$99.9 million in its balance sheet. In the first quarter of 2017, Ultracargo received the full amount from the insurers. On February 4, 2021, the subsidiary paid the remaining balance related to the TAC, without pending and/or additional financial obligation arising from such commitment assumed. Between December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2024, there were no extrajudicial claims. See “Item 8.A. Financial information—Consolidated statements and other financial information—Legal proceedings.”

Income tax exemption status. Brazilian legislation provides a 75% income tax reduction for businesses located in the Northeast region of Brazil, which depends on SUDENE formal and previous approval. Ultracargo’s terminals at Itaqui, Suape and Aratu are entitled to the tax benefit up to 2025, 2030 and 2032, respectively. The total amount of SUDENE’s income tax exemption for Ultracargo for the years ended on December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was R$ 38.7 million, R$44.3 million and R$37.1 million, respectively.

C. Fuel distribution

T he Brazilian fuel market comprises the distribution and marketing of diesel, gasoline (including aviation gasoline), ethanol, fuel oil, kerosene (including aviation kerosene) and natural gas for vehicles (NGV). According to IPB, i n 2024 diesel represented 47% of the volume of fuel distributed in Brazil, followed by gasoline and ethanol, representing 31% and 15%, respectively.

The distribution of fuels (gasoline, ethanol, and diesel) is made mainly through three channels, as follows:

Service stations, which serve final retail consumers;
Large consumers, mainly industries and fleets; and
Retail—wholesale resellers—TRR, specialized resellers that distribute diesel to medium and small volume end-users.

Table of Contents

The following chart shows the fuel distribution process in Brazil:

Graphics

Imported products arrive at the port terminals and are then sent to primary bases via road, railway, river and/or cabotage and to secondary bases via road, railway and/or river.

Oil-derivative products are transported from refineries and port terminals to storage terminals via pipelines, coastal or river shipment and trucks. 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 ports and are used either to store products to be sold to customers or to be transported to secondary storage terminals.

Transportation of oil-derivative products between primary and secondary storage terminals is carried out by pipelines, railroads, trucks and coastal or river barges. Purchases from ethanol mills are usually sent via road and rail to primary and secondary bases, and via pipelines only to primary bases. 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, set at 27%, which can vary from 22% to 35%, provided its technical feasibility is confirmed, according to Law No. 9,478/97, as amended by the recent publication of Law 14,993/2024, which deals with the Combustível do Futuro (Fuel of the Future). The CNPE establishes the percentage of anhydrous ethanol that must be added to gasoline (currently, at 27 % in regular gasoline and 25 % in additive/premium gasoline).

On September 24, 2014, in accordance with Law No. 13.033, changes were incorporated into the “ Programa Nacional de Biodiesel” (the National Biodiesel Program). 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. The Resolution 8/23 of the CNPE, fixed the mandatory blending rate at 14% from March 2024 to March 2025. According to this Resolution, the mandatory blending rate should increase to 15% in March 2025, reaching 20% in March 2030. In turn, Law 14.993/2024 provided for an annual increase of 1% in the addition of biodiesel to diesel starting in 2025, reaching 20% in March 2030.

In this regard, with the approval of bill 528/2020, which led to Law 14,993/2024, the Combustível do Futuro (Fuel of the Future), aimed to reduce carbon emissions and promote biofuels, sets forth critical thresholds impacting the fuel distribution sector in Brazil, including: (i) a target to gradually increase the biodiesel blend required in diesel by 1% per year, from 1 4 % in 202 4 to 20% in 2030, (ii) a mandate of a maximum of 3% blending of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, most commonly known as renewable diesel or green diesel) in diesel, and (iii) an expansion of the range of ethanol blend in gasoline that could be required by the competent authority. Furthermore, the new law also proposes regulations for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), synthetic fuels (e-fuels), biomethane and others.

Table of Contents

“Gasoline A” (as it is known in its unmixed form) and diesel are mixed with anhydrous ethanol and biodiesel, respectively, at the distributors storage terminals which are then sold to service stations, large consumers and TRRs.

Supply. According to ANP, Petrobras is the most relevant domestic supplier of oil derivatives, accounting for 85% of the Brazilian refining capacity as of December 31, 2024. There are currently 18 oil refineries in Brazil, 10 of which are owned by Petrobras. In November 2021, based on the commitment signed by Petrobras with CADE in June 2019, Petrobras closed the sale of the Landulpho Alves Refinery (RLAM), located in Bahia, and in November 2022, Petrobras closed the sale of Isaac Sabbá Refinery (REMAN), located in Manaus. Also, in the second semester of 2023, Petrobras completed the sale of Potigar Clara Camarão Refinery (RPCC), located in Rio Grande do Norte.

The supply from Petrobras to distributors in general is governed by an annual contract that outlines operational conditions, rights and duties, penalties, among other topics. For the volume supply, a commitment is established for each quarter of the year, with the initial proposal of a minimum volume per product sent by Petrobras based on the volume of each distributor for the last three months. Petrobras ensures the delivery of this volume while distributors (such as Ipiranga) incur a penalty if they consume less than the minimum volume. Distributors must then place monthly orders that comply with the minimum volumes but are able to place additional orders depending on their needs. Petrobras is not required to supply all the volume requested by such distributors and then notifies them in advance of how much will be delivered (which became known as “quota cuts”).

Brazilian refineries are located predominantly in the South, Northeast and Southeast regions of Brazil. Petrobras’s total refining capacity in December 2024 was approximately 1,7 million barrels per day. According to ANP, t he overall product yield for Brazilian refineries in 2024 was 39% diesel, 24% gasoline, 14% fuel oil, 6% LPG and 17% other products.

Since the end of 2021, Petrobras announced that it would cease to guarantee the supply of fuels to the Brazilian market and informed distributors that a portion of their fuel purchase orders would not be fully met. As a result, fuel distribution companies, including Ipiranga, were required to purchase part of their fuel needs in the international market and, during some periods, prices of imported fuels might be materially different from those charged by Petrobras. In 2024, 23% and 8% of diesel and gasoline in the Brazilian market , respectively, were imported, and the remaining were supplied by local refineries.

The ongoing hostility between Russia and Ukraine led to significant developments in the international trade flow of oil-based fuels. Due to the banning of Russian diesel imports by most of the countries of the European Union and the price cap (maximum price that importers could pay for Russian diesel) imposed by G7 countries, Russia sought new destinations for its exports. Thus, in 2023, through competitive prices, Russia became the main supplier of diesel to Brazil, surpassing the United States, which had been the largest supplier until then. In 2024, the flow of Russian oil derivatives to Brazil and other Latin American countries became increasingly consolidated. Russia remained the primary supplier of diesel to Brazil, while notable volumes of gasoline and naphtha imports also emerged. As the market matured, the range of originators of Russian products in Brazil diversified, paralleling the expansion of Russia's export destinations—which now include significant volumes to Africa and Asia. Additionally, outages resulting from attacks on the Russian refining park contributed to a reduction in supply during the second half of 2024, leading to smaller price discounts compared to 2023.

Key information—Risk factors—Our businesses, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by a general economic downturn and by instability and volatility in the financial markets, including as a result of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the conflict involving Hamas and Israel .”

The ethanol fuel market in Brazil consists of corn and sugarcane mills, producing sugar, ethanol, and dried distillers grains (DDG). According to ANP, i n 2024 79.2% of the ethanol produced in Brazil was from sugarcane and 20.8% was from corn. Ethanol production from sugarcane occurs approximately eight months per year and ethanol from corn runs through the whole year. Since sugarcane can either be used to produce ethanol or sugar, from a sugarcane producer’s perspective, the production ratio between ethanol and sugar is determined based on the prices of ethanol and sugar in the Brazilian and international markets. Although ethanol production is subject to favorable climate conditions, the risk of interruptions in supply is mainly restricted to the end of the harvest. 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 “A” and (ii) hydrated ethanol, which is essentially used for flex fuel vehicles. Unlike oil-derivatives, ethanol is purchased from several producers.

Biodiesel is purchased from several biofuel producers in Brazil, and its main feedstocks are soybean oil and tallow. As of December 31, 2024, there were 58 biodiesel producers, located predominantly in the Center-West and South regions. Brazil’s biodiesel production in 2024 totaled 9 billion liters.

Demand . Fuel demand in Brazil is mainly segregated into demand for Otto cycle fuels (which comprises gasoline, ethanol and NGV), intended for light vehicles, and diesel, intended mainly for heavy-duty vehicles.

Historically, a high positive correlation is observed between the behavior of the diesel market and the Brazilian GDP, which has been the primary indicator for consumption projections. Demand may also be influenced by potential increases in the biofuel blend on gasoline and diesel, as well as the long-term impact of other decarbonization initiatives.

The expansion of Otto cycle fuel demand is related to the growth of the light vehicle fleet and, consequently, to the availability of credit and disposable income for the purchase of new vehicles, as well as the country’s economic activity.

According to ANFAVEA, approximately 2.5 million new light vehicles were registered in Brazil in 2024, an increase of 14 % compared to 2023, driven by the greater credit granting for vehicle acquisition. Last year, flex-fuel vehicles, whose engines are adapted to run on gasoline, ethanol, or any combination of the two, accounted for 79 % of the country’s light vehicle registrations, followed by diesel-powered light commercial vehicles ( 10 %), electric or hybrid vehicles ( 7 %) and gasoline-only passenger cars ( 4 %).

According to ANP data, the fuel distribution market (which comprises gasoline, ethanol, and diesel) grew by 4% in 2024 compared to 2023, with an increase of 6% in gasoline and ethanol, following the increase in the light vehicle fleet, and 3% in diesel, in line with Brazilian GDP growth.

Due to its economic role, the fuel demand presents a relatively low sensitivity to prices. As a reference, in the last five years, the standard deviation of diesel volume was approximately 6% of the average volume in the period, whereas the same calculation for diesel prices indicates a volatility of 33% . As shown in the graphs below, despite the increase in fuel prices in Brazil in recent years, the trend in volumes has also been one of growth.

The role of the Brazilian government. The Brazilian government regulated the pricing of oil and oil-derivative products, ethanol, natural gas and electric energy until 1990. From this time onwards, the Brazilian oil and gas sector has been significantly deregulated. Until the adoption of the Petroleum Law 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. The Petroleum Law allowed the import of gasoline, ended the policy of price table, established the white flag stations, and released the entry of new distributors and importers. As of the date of this annual report , there is no legislation or regulation in force giving the Brazilian government power to set oil-derivative and ethanol fuel prices.

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 has been bringing a new scenario for the sector, which may, in turn, attract major investments and improvements in infrastructure with the addition of new refineries, highways, pipelines, platforms, ports and ships, among others.

Taxation. The taxes applicable to the fuels sold by Ipiranga, which are mainly diesel, gasoline, and hydrated ethanol, are: (i) PIS/COFINS and CIDE, under the responsibility of the federal government, and (ii) ICMS, under the responsibility of the Brazilian states. State taxes were also cut down by Law No. 194/22, which reduced the ICMS tax rate. Moreover, constitutional amendment 123/22 states that biofuel taxes should be lower than fossil fuel taxes, in order to enhance the competitiveness of the former.

In addition, Law No. 192/22 determined that states should standardize ICMS tax rates on diesel and gasoline throughout the country and that the producer or importer should be the sole taxpayer of this tax. After states litigated both Laws No. 192/22 and No. 194/22, it was agreed that the ICMS taxation regime should start on May 1, 2023, for diesel and June 1, 2023, for gasoline.

Thus, a summary of the taxes applied to each of the main fuels sold by Ipiranga is presented below:

Gasoline: taxation of the PIS/COFINS and CIDE taxes applies to the producer or importer in full. For ICMS, a single-phase taxation method is applied, at a fixed and uniform amount nationwide. This single-phase taxation was implemented as of June 1, 2023, due to Supplementary Law No. 192/22. As of the date of this annual report, the tax rate for PIS/COFINS, CIDE and ICMS were R$793/m³, R$100/m³ and R$1,372/m³, respectively;
Diesel: taxation of PIS/COFINS applies to the producer or importer in full (CIDE tax rate is currently zero). For ICMS, a single-phase taxation method is applied, at a fixed and uniform amount nationwide. This single-phase taxation was implemented as of May 1, 2023, due to Supplementary Law No. 192/22. As of the date of this annual report, the tax rate for PIS/COFINS and ICMS were R$352/m³ and R$1,064/m³, respectively; and
Hydrated ethanol: taxation of PIS/COFINS occurs in two stages: a portion is paid by the producer or importer, and another portion is paid by the distributor. For ICMS, the tax substitution method is applied, in which ICMS is paid by the distributor and is generally based on the PMPF (weighted average final price), published biweekly by CONFAZ. As of the date of this annual report, the tax rate for PIS/COFINS and ICMS were R$242/m³ and a range between 12% and 22% of the PMPF (each state defines its own tax rate), respectively.

At the end of 2023, the Tax Reform was approved by the Brazilian Congress and promulgated in the same year. As to consumption taxes, all federal taxes (PIS/COFINS and IPI) will be consolidated into a single tax called CBS (Contribution on Goods and Services), while state and municipal taxes (ICMS and ISS) will be unified to form the IBS (Tax on Goods and Services). It is expected that the new taxes (IBS and CBS) will be concentrated on the refineries, ethanol/biofuel plants and importers. This would be a major improvement, considering that most of the segment tax evasion occurs in the ethanol chain, which is not single-phase charged in the current legislation.

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. This amendment was also reflected in Law No. 9,478/97, which limited Petrobras’ monopoly to a maximum period of three years. Law No. 9,478/97 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, ANP, to oversee all oil-related activities. However, Petrobras is still the largest domestic oil-derivative supplier of oil and oil-related products, including LPG, and oil-derivative fuels in Brazil, even though there are no legal restrictions on the operations of other suppliers or to imports.

Prices of fuels. In 2022, oil prices showed high volatility, mainly due to uncertainties regarding the supply of derivatives as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. During this period, Petrobras maintained its price adjustment policy linked to the international diesel and gasoline market and the Brazilian government implemented policies to lower the cost of fuels such as the exemptions of federal taxes and the reduction of state taxes for diesel and gasoline.

In May 2023, Petrobras announced a new commercial strategy for setting diesel and gasoline prices, thus replacing its pricing policy in which the import parity prices were the sole reference. The new pricing model considers the international market dynamics and also national pricing references such as the customer alternative cost and the marginal value for Petrobras.

T he conflict between Israel and Hamas significantly impacted the fuel prices in 2023. In October 2023, Hamas attacked Israel, with Israel then declaring war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The conflict occurs near the Middle East, a region particularly sensitive to the global trade of oil and derivatives, due to the presence of major oil producers, such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, despite not involving them directly. Another development of the conflict was the attacks in the Red Sea by the Houthi group. Since mid-December 2023, Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have carried out numerous attacks on vessels in the Red Sea area, traveling through the Suez Canal, one of the major maritime routes in the world, ostensibly in response to the Israel-Hamas war. Afraid of attacks, many shipping companies have suspended transit through the Red Sea, which has affected trading patterns, rates and expenses.

In 2024, energy p rices continued to be unstable with ongoing geopolitical conflicts, inflation in the main global economies and concerns about the demand for oil and oil products. Disputes between Ukraine and Russia continued to threaten global supply disruptions. Continuous drone attacks on the Russian refining infrastructure impacted irregular supplies and increased price premiums, especially for diesel.

In the Middle East, developments related to the conflict in Gaza resulted in heightened tensions and intermittent clashes between Israel and Hamas and its neighboring states. Although these hostilities did not materially disrupt the supply of oil and oil products, they contributed to a persistent risk premium in oil pricing throughout most of 2024. Following elevated energy prices in 2022 and 2023, the global economy experienced inflationary pressures that, in turn, subdued demand. Consequently, central banks in major economies were compelled to sustain higher interest rates, thereby further cooling global demand. During 2024, oil market conditions became less constrained, limiting OPEC's capacity to increase production. Moreover, the significant volatility induced by the U.S. elections toward the end of the year affected oil prices. Despite the instability associated with these events, global energy prices continued a downward trend compared to those recorded in 2022 and 2023.

In 2024, Petrobras remained largely insulated from international price volatility, maintaining stable domestic pricing throughout the year. The only adjustment occurred in July with an increase of R$0.20 for gasoline, while diesel prices remained unchanged during the entire period. The most recent pricing action was implemented in December 2023 , when the company reduced diesel prices by R$0.30 per liter in anticipation of a forthcoming increase in federal taxes.

The following graphs show the price volatility of fuels acquired by the distributors from Petrobras’ refineries compared to the import parity price of the last three years.

Ethanol prices are freely charged by ethanol producers.

The role of ANP. 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. ANP regulates all aspects of the industry, from the exploration and/or production, transportation to the sale of these products, including product quality standards, to the minimum storage capacities required to be maintained by distributors with respect to oil and oil products in Brazil. The ANP Resolution 950/2023, as amended, establishes that a fuel distributor, in order to operate in Brazil, must obtain an operating authorization and meet certain minimum requirements of operation, including:

• Minimum paid-in capital of R$4,500,000.00; and

• 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).

In addition, f uel distributors are required to provide to ANP monthly reports showing their previous month sales and f uel distribution for service stations may only be carried out by a registered distributor. TRRs are allowed to trade only diesel, lubricants, and grease to small-end consumers. The construction of storage facilities and approval for new retail sellers to operate is subject to the prior approval of ANP. Service stations and storage facilities may only begin operations after ANP inspections.

The roles of ABD, Sindicom, and ICL . ABD is the association that represents the interests of major Brazilian players of the downstream oil and gas supply chain in discussions before federal and state governmental bodies and presents its members perspectives on relevant laws, regulations, and bills. The association was formed in 2020 as part of IBP 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 and downstream sector. Prior to ABD, Sindicom, founded in 1941, was the main association responsible for representing the interests of fuel and lubricant distributors in Brazil. Historically, most of its initiatives were concentrated in ABD. As of the date of this annual report , Sindicom is focused on pursuing judicial actions related to this sector and addressing irregular market practices. In addition, the I CL is committed to fostering an ethical and equitable environment within the fuel industry by actively combating fraud and promoting healthy competition, ultimately benefiting the consumer.

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

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 Economy, which prescribes occupational health and safety standards. To maintain a safe and healthy workplace, companies must carry out comprehensive occupational health and safety programs.

Decarbonization credits . The RenovaBio Program was designed to support Brazil’s COP21 goals and was launched in 2016 by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, instituted as the “National Biofuels Policy” through Law 13,576/2017. RenovaBio’s goal is to reduce carbon emissions and encourage the consumption and production of biofuels in Brazil, contributing to a higher share of renewable fuels in Brazil’s energy matrix. This program foresees that biofuel producers will generate CBios in an amount related to the volume produced, and distributors receives decarbonization targets according to the volume of oil products sold in the previous year, to their share of CO 2 emissions in gasoline and diesel, and then they are required to acquire CBios to achieve those targets. The CBios acquired are recorded at acquisition cost and are settled in the year to fulfill the individual target set by ANP. In December 2019, the RenovaBio Program was fully implemented.

In 2022, CBios prices increased and reached more than R$200 per CBio in July 2022, raising concerns from the government about the liquidity of the program. In order to reduce the prices, the government changed the final compliance date related to 2022 fiscal year, from December 2022 to September 2023 and prices reduced in August 2022. Ipiranga’s target for 2024 was 7,0 million CBios, 18,1% of the total market obligation.

Table of Contents

In 202 4 , an increasing number of distributors failed to acquire the requi site decarbonization credits , r e sulting in 43% of distributors not meeting the annual target. This non-compliance con ferred a competitive advantage on defaulters and introduced greater legal uncertainty into the market .

Concurrently, discussions regarding enhancements to the RenovaBio Program intensified , with various proposals put forward by industry stakeholders. N otably , Bill 3 . 149/2020 — transformed into Law 15.082/2024 — proposed the inclusion of independent raw material producers for biofuel production in RenovaBio and introduced stricter penalties for entities failing to meet annual CB ios targets . These penalties include classifying no n -compliance as an environmental crime subject to fines, establishing performance targets for new distributors, revoking operati ng authorizations for defaulters exceeding one year of non- compliance , and prohibiting the sale of fuels to distributors default of CBios or unable to demonstrate a corresponding volume of biodiesel.

Competition. The retail market for gasoline, diesel and ethanol in Brazil is highly competitive, with similar products and relatively low margins. Ipiranga’s main competitors are:

Vibra: a former subsidiary of Petrobras, which has been operating in the Brazilian fuel distribution sector since 1971. Vibra is the Brazilian market leader and operates throughout the entire country. In 2017, Vibra concluded its initial public offering, listing the shares on B3. Since 2021, Petrobras is no longer its shareholder; and
Raízen: a joint-venture between Cosan and Shell. Cosan, through its subsidiaries, is the largest producer of sugar and ethanol in Brazil, having entered into the fuel distribution market in 2008, when it acquired Esso’s fuel distribution business in Brazil. Raízen concluded its IPO in August 2021, listing its shares on B3.

In addition, several small local and regional distributors entered into the Brazilian fuel distribution market in the late 1990s, after the market was deregulated, which further increased competition in such market. Moreover, in 2018, some important international players entered the Brazilian fuel distribution market: (i) Glencore Oil Participações Ltda., a Swiss company, through the acquisition of 78% of Alesat Combustíveis S.A. (further expanded to 100%); and (ii) PetroChina Company Limited, a Chinese company, through the acquisition of 30% of Tt Work Participações S.A. As of the date of this annual report, there were 187 fuel distributors authorized by ANP to operate in Brazil.

The following table sets forth the market share of Ipiranga and its main competitors based on volume of gasoline, ethanol and diesel sold, according to ANP and IBP data:

	Year ended December 31,
Distributor (1)	2024	2023	2022
Vibra	21.7 %	23.8 %	25.8%
Raízen	19.0 %	20.5 %	21.8%
Ipiranga	17.3 %	17.7 %	18.4%
Others	42.0 %	38.0 %	33.9%
Total	100.0 %	100.0 %	100.0%

Anticompetitive practices. 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 and on gross revenues, as well as state taxes on consumption (value-added) and (iii) selling anhydrous ethanol mixed with water as hydrated ethanol (iv) noncompliance with the required biodiesel in diesel blend .
Such practices have enabled these players, all of them smaller distributors, to increase their market share by charging artificially lower prices also based on artificially lower costs.

Major distributors, including Ipiranga, have taken, individually and collectively, several 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 legislative and 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 in compliance with their tax payments, (ii) participation in legal proceedings regarding a regulatory norm that eliminated brand loyalty to the distributor for fuel sold at reseller stations; (iii) contribution to the development of CODIF, a system that electronically controls the collection of value-added taxes on fuel sales, (iv) support in the implementation of electronic invoices at the federal level, concluded in 2008, (v) 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); (vi) development of a new biodiesel commercialization model — replac ing Public Auctions — under ANP Resolution No. 857/2021 and in accordance with CNPE Resolution No. 14/2020, whi ch require s that before each civil bimonthly period, liquid fuel distri b utors contract a biodiesel volume equal to or greater than 80% of diesel oil B volume commercialized during the corresponding period of the previous year (adjusted for the mandatory blending percentage and excluding diesel oil B acquired from other distributors ) ; and (vii) the suggestion of several other measures, supported by ANP, including focusing the collection of PIS and COFINS on distilleries, as well the installation of flow meters, which were included in Law No. 11,727/08.

Recent changes to legislation, such as the single-phase taxation for ICMS implemented by the Supplementary Law No. 192/22, and inspection in the fuel distribution sector have helped to progressively curb unfair competition, creating a more level playing field. T his model is set to be replicated and expanded to encompass the new taxes introduced by the Consumption Tax Reform —namely, the Goods and Services Tax and the Contribution on Goods and Services—through Constitutional Amendment No. 132/23 and Complementary Law No. 214/25. As a result of these efforts, the more regulated market has been leading to the weakening of the business model of lower prices based on artificially lower costs and unfair practices and increasing sales volume of the formal market . Furthermore in 2024 there were notable advancements in the new RenovaBio legislation including the reclassification noncompliance as an environmental crime and the forthcoming implementation of single-phase taxation for hydrated ethanol with respect to PIS/COFINS , effective May, 2025.

Ipiranga

Ipiranga was established in 1937 and is one of the largest fuel distributors in Brazil, according to ANP, with 17,3% market share in 2024 in terms of diesel, gasoline, and ethanol sales volume. Ipiranga distributes diesel, gasoline, ethanol, NGV, fuel oil, kerosene, arla 32, lubricants, and greases nationwide through its network of 5.860 service stations and 90 storage terminals as of December 31, 2024.

Ipiranga’s fuel distribution

Ipiranga operates in the retail segment of the fuel distribution market through a network of service stations operating under the Ipiranga brand throughout Brazil and, to a significantly lesser extent, through spot sales to un-branded (white flag) service stations. Ipiranga also operates in the business-to-business (B2B) segment, with customers such as state and municipal governments, industries, and cargo and passenger transportation fleet owners.

In 2024, Ipiranga’s sales volume increased by 2%. Diesel sales decreased by 1 %, while the volume of Otto cycle was 5 % higher, with an increase of 37 % in ethanol and a decrease of 6 % in gasoline.

The table below shows Ipiranga’s sales of fuels by-products:

	The year ended December 31,
	2024	2023	2022
		(in thousand m³)
Diesel	12,023.1	12,093.0	12,214.6
Gasoline	7,376.0	7,820.5	7,645.0
Ethanol	3,625.7	2,651.3	2,558.9
Lubricants and greases	297.9	275.2	259,3
Others ⁽¹⁾	247.1	265.0	392.0
Total volume sold	23,569.7	23,105.1	23,069.8


⁽¹⁾ Includes NGV, fuel oil, kerosene and arla 32.

Network of service stations . Three types of arrangements between distributors and service station operators are generally used in the fuels industry: (i) the distributor owns the land, equipment and buildings for a service station and leases to an operator, (ii) a third party owns the 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 reseller, 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 (AmPm) and lubricant servicing franchises (Jet Oil).

Responsible for 78% of Ipiranga’s total volume in 2024, the retail segment of the fuel distribution market had, as of December 31, 2024, a network of 5,860 service stations operating under the Ipiranga brand throughout Brazil, of which 641 were located on land owned by or leased to Ipiranga, while 5,219 were located on land owned by third parties. In 2024, 90% of these stations were in urban areas, whereas the remaining were on highways.

Furthermore, network management and engagement have been one of the main fronts on which Ipiranga’s management has focused its attention and were one of the four pillars of Ipiranga’s turnaround plan in the last years. During 2022 and 2023, Ipiranga conducted a legacy management process of its service stations, with a complete review of the network to optimize operations and to allow Ipiranga to strengthen its relationship with resellers that are considered true business partners, engaging with them in a close and transparent manner.

In 2024, Ipiranga strengthened its presence in the fuel distribution market through a strategic partnership with Chevron, one of the global leaders of the fuel distribution market, and brought back the Texaco brand to service stations in Brazil. As part of this initiative, the first Texaco service station was opened in Santa Catarina state on October, 31 and we believe it will help us expand our market share by attracting different kinds of resellers and consumers to our network. This partnership reflects Ipiranga’s ongoing pursuit of diversification and new solutions for our consumers and dealers.

B2B (Business to business). Ipiranga operates in the B2B segment with more than 6,3 thousand clients, such as state and municipal governments, industries, cargo and passenger transportation fleet owners, TRRs and others. In 2024, Ipiranga’s ten largest clients in B2B segment accounted for 21% of its revenues in this segment. Distribution to B2B represented 22% of Ipiranga’s total volume in 2024.

Ipiranga has implemented a differentiated strategy in the B2B segment, offering a variety of premium products and technological services to provide better customer experience and to promote customer retention. Ipiranga’s goal is to continue to develop new products and services to meet the needs of its B2B clients in the various segments in which it operates and become the first choice of corporate consumers. To achieve this, Ipiranga’s B2B team relies on a group of highly skilled and experienced professionals dedicated to multiple projects designed to provide new solutions to the B2B market.

Contracts. The relationship between Ipiranga and its clients is generally governed by exclusive supply contracts with terms ranging from one to five years. The types of contracts change according to the distribution channel. For service stations, contracts usually have terms of three to five years. Our commercial strategy includes the concession of bonus agreements, which can be paid upfront (received on the signing of the contract) and/or post-paid (through the achievement of certain targets defined in contract). For the B2B segment, Ipiranga sells fuels under exclusive supply contracts, with terms ranging from one to three years on average, or in the spot market. Ipiranga has been working to increase the percentage of supply of fuels in the B2B segment under exclusive supply contracts by providing additional services and generating value to its clients

Storage of fuels. Ipiranga stores its fuels in large tanks at each of its facilities located throughout the regions in which it operates. For more information on how fuels are transported from refineries or port terminals to the storage facilities, see “Item 4.B. Information on the Company—Business overview—Industry and regulatory overview—C. Fuel distribution.” In 2024, Ipiranga’s storage capacity was 1,132 thousand m³, including the guaranteed storage capacity as per storage contracts with other companies, such as Ultracargo. Based on its 2024 average sales, Ipiranga can store approximately 12 days of fuel supply.

In 2021, we had the start-up of the operations of the SPEs of Cabedelo (state of Paraíba) and Belém (state of Pará), in addition to the beginning of the operations of the shared base of Miritituba (state of Pará), which has 21 thousand m³ of static capacity and in which Ipiranga, Vibra and Raízen hold equal stakes. In the second half of 2021, Ipiranga started the construction of a shared base in Fortaleza (state of Ceará), which started operating in February 2023, and has a total static capacity of 21 thousand m³, with Ipiranga holding 60% of it. In December 2021, Ipiranga also started contracting a static capacity of 25 thousand m³ at Ultracargo’s terminal in Vila do Conde (state of Pará).

In September 2023, Ipiranga sold the Rondonópolis base to Ultracargo, located in the state of Mato Grosso, due to synergies with Ultracargo’s terminal in Paulínia (state of São Paulo). In November 2023, Ipiranga also acquired 33% of an operational shared base in Marabá, located in the state of Pará. Raízen and Vibra also hold equal stakes of this base.

In 2023, Ipiranga won the concession of the area MAC12 at the Maceió port, located in the state of Alagoas. The area will be operated by Ipiranga for at least 25 years. At the end of 2024, the Maceió pool became the Maceió base, now fully owned by Ipiranga. Previously shared with Vibra and Raízen, the facility has a storage capacity of 14 thousand m³ and strengthens Ipiranga’s operations in the region.

KMV (formerly abastece aí)

Km de Vantagens was created in 2009 and pioneered customer loyalty programs within the fuel industry. The program allows customers and resellers to redeem rewards and benefits in several different industries, such as entertainment, tourism, magazines, airline tickets, car rental, among others, and has served as an important platform to strengthening the relationship between Ipiranga and its customers.

Ipiranga developed and launched les aí in 2016, a mobile payment service app, that seeks to maximize advantages from the integration of platforms to offer even greater convenience and benefits to customers. Through the abastece aí app, customers could obtain discounts in exchange for Km de Vantagens points. In addition, they could receive rewards of their preference and finalize the fueling process by using a unique Km de Vantagens password in a safe payment method.

AmPm

AmPm is the seventh-largest franchise network in Brazil, according to the ABF 2024 ranking, with 1,450 stores and a 25% penetration in Ipiranga service stations as of December 31, 2024.

Since 2013, AmPm Suprimentos has operated its own supply structure, with four distribution centers located in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, and Paraná. This initiative aims to streamline operations, enhance franchisee competitiveness, and ensure higher quality and a wider variety of products, adding value for customers and franchisees.

In 2019, AmPm was segregated from Ipiranga, becoming an independent business unit with the objective of strengthening its network, increasing agility, and boosting profitability. In the same year, company-operated stores were introduced as a laboratory for franchise model development and a benchmark for operational excellence.

In 2020, AmPm launched a new store concept, designed to provide a more intuitive shopping experience, integrated with a robust digital portfolio on Brazil’s major marketplaces and delivery apps. By the end of 2024, 632 stores were operating under this new format, including 626 franchises and 6 company-operated units.

As part of its strategy to establish itself as a “house of brands,” AmPm expanded partnerships with Pizza Hut, Nathan’s Famous, Oakberry, and Mr. Cheney Cookies, driving greater engagement and profitability for franchisees. In 2024, the company advanced with its joint venture with Krispy Kreme, bringing the leading U.S. donut brand to Brazil. The project plans to launch its first store in 2025, and by the end of the year, the joint venture expects to have multiple store formats operating in São Paulo, further solidifying the brand’s presence in the country.

Also in 2024, AmPm initiated a process of transferring company-operated stores to franchisees, aiming to increase operational efficiency and strengthen the network’s overall quality. By the end of the period, the company operated 14 company-owned stores, including 7 AmPm Office units located in commercial buildings and hospitals.

AmPm’s revenue structure includes fixed franchise fees and a percentage of store revenues, typically ranging between 4% and 8%, in addition to merchandising revenues from supplier agreements.

The table below shows the highlights of AmPm stores:

	2024	2023	2022
Number of stores	1,450	1,540	1,598
Penetration in service stations ⁽¹⁾	25%	26%	24%
Revenues (in millions of Reais ) ⁽²⁾	2,138.7	2,039.5	1,929.7


(1) Calculated based on the number of AmPm’s stores in relation to the number of Ipiranga’s gas stations
(2) Total revenue of AmPm includes sales from company-owned stores and franchises

The company believes the convenience store sector within service stations has strong growth potential, driven by structural changes in society, such as:

Increased female participation in the workforce;
Growth of single-person households and compact apartments;
Urbanization, leading to higher population density and greater logistical complexity.

AmPm remains focused on innovation, expansion, and strengthening its network, solidifying its position as one of Brazil’s leading convenience store brands.

Jet Oil

The Jet Oil business unit, is Ipiranga’s lubricant-changing and automotive specialized service network. Jet Oil ended 2024 with 1,120 franchises. Jet Oil units offer an oil change service that features technology and safety, unifying quality products and expert services. These attributes translate Jet Oil’s slogan for consumers: “The full care that your car deserves.”

Iconic

In 2016, Ipiranga entered into a joint-venture agreement with Chevron to create Iconic to operate in the lubricant sector, holding a 56% stake, while Chevron owns the remaining 44%. Iconic initiated operations at the end of 2017.

Iconic’s strategy is to benefit from the expertise of Ipiranga and Chevron in the lubricant sector, including through the use of the Ipiranga Lubrificantes and Texaco brands, and the combination of their complementary businesses, resulting in a sales network with high capillarity.

Table of Contents

Supply. Iconic is a vertically integrated business. It sources its raw materials (mainly base oils) from local refineries and imports to produce lubricants. Base oils are specialty products produced by refineries and may be segregated in different groups (namely Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV and Group V) according to saturate level, sulfur level and viscosity index, ranging from simple mineral base oils (Group I) to synthetic and more premium base oils (Group V). Transportation of base oils is made through pipelines connected to the refineries or by vessels and trucks if the product has been imported.

At the end of 2023, Iconic entered into a contract with Chevron, becoming its official distributor of premium base oils in Brazil. This led Iconic to create Iconic Base Oil, a new business division with a management team segregated from the lubricant business that is exclusively dedicated to the marketing of base oils. Despite continuing to use base oils as the main input for the production of lubricants, Iconic now engages in the distribution of base oils to B2B customers. The supply of group II and group III base oils for distribution purposes will be exclusively provided by Chevron.

By law, producers and importers of lubricant oil must collect, or ensure the collection, and provide final disposal of used or contaminated lubricant oil. Each player is responsible for its own volume of lubricant oil based on its market share. Iconic outsources this collection to a third-party company, which also re-refines the lubricants and resells them at a competitive price, thus reintroducing the oil to the production chain.

Production and distribution process. Iconic has two production plants, one base oil complex depot and one distribution center, all located in Brazil. The largest plant is located in Duque de Caxias, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and is the main center for manufacturing and bottling Iconic lubricants, with a production capacity of approximately 400 million liters per year. The other plant is located in Osasco, in the state of São Paulo, and is dedicated to the manufacturing of greases and coolants, with a production capacity of about 37 million liters per year. The base oil depot, which is a large storage and handling terminal for base oils, is strategically located in São Cristóvão, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and connected to the port of Rio de Janeiro by underground pipelines. Iconic has a total storage capacity of 47 thousand m³ spread through these three facilities, where trucks can be loaded anytime to transport products to resellers or B2B customers.

One of the most significant projects for Iconic since the beginning of its operations in 2017 has been the consolidation of its production units in Rio de Janeiro. Investments over the last six years focused on increasing the production capacity of the Duque de Caxias plant, turning the production unit of São Cristóvão into a complex of base oil depot and enhancing safety conditions for its employees. Among the most important initiatives are new offices and dressing rooms, modernized dining areas, a new bottling line, a new boiler park, a new tank basin, and the acquisition of new plots of land in its vicinity.

In addition to the structural changes in the base oil depot, Iconic has been working with port and local authorities to increase the ship draft in the port of Rio de Janeiro, allowing larger ships to dock. In the past, there were limitations in the port structure that restricted the entry of large vessels, resulting in high logistics costs for imported goods. The project has been concluded by the second half of 2024. Iconic is able to allow larger vessels to carry imported base oils that are not available in the Brazilian market, which improves its competitiveness. In addition, we have renewed the license to operate DOB (a liquid bulk terminal located in the Port of Rio de Janeiro – which is part of São Cristóvão Complex) for ten years , as of December 2024

Iconic also launched the new Iconic Technology Center (CTIC) in 2024. The project relocated the current research and development center from São Cristóvão to the Duque de Caxias plant. CTIC is expected to become one of the largest and most important private laboratories in Latin America, reinforcing Iconic’s position as a leader in the lubricants market with substantial technological knowledge.

Demand. Iconic produces approximately a thousand different products, including lubricants, greases, fluids and coolants. The company serves more than 135 thousand customers in Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay through 18 authorized resellers, or directly to large consumers in Brazil. Iconic’s customers operate in different segments, such as industrial, agricultural, transportation, and equipment manufacturers, among others. In 2024, 42 % of the sales volume of Iconic came from its reseller network and 58 % came from direct sales to B2B customers. According to IBP, in 2024, 2023 and 2022, Iconic sold 297.9, 275.2 and 259.3 thousand m³ of lubricants and greases to Brazilian customers, respectively, excluding base oils, fluids, coolants and export.

Industry and overview of our discontinued operations

Petrochemicals and chemicals

Ultrapar used to operate in the petrochemical industry through Oxiteno. On August 16, 2021, Ultrapar entered into a share purchase agreement for the sale of all shares of Oxiteno to Indorama. The sale was closed on April 1, 2022 and, as a result, Oxiteno is no longer part of Ultrapar’s business portfolio as of this date. For more information, see “ Item 4.A. Information on the Company—History and development of the Company—A.2. Discontinued operations—Oxiteno.”

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.

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, including olefins, primarily ethylene, propylene and butadiene, and aromatics, such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes. Second-generation companies process the basic petrochemicals produced by the crackers to obtain intermediate petrochemicals, such as (i) polyethylene, ethylene oxide, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), each produced from ethylene; (ii) polypropylene, oxo-alcohols and acrylonitrile, each produced from propylene; (iii) caprolactam, produced from benzene; and (iv) purified terephthalic acid (PTA), produced from p-xylene. 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, which transform them into final products, including polyester, plastics, elastomers, acrylic fibers, and nylon.

Oxiteno

As of March 31, 2022, Oxiteno was a second-generation company, which processed basic petrochemicals produced by the crackers to obtain intermediate petrochemicals. While operated by Ultrapar, Oxiteno was 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 and the only ethylene oxide producer in South America. Its products were used in a broad range of industrial sectors, such as cosmetics, detergents, crop solutions, polyester, packaging, coatings, and oil industry. During the year ended December 31, 2021, and the three months period ended March 31, 2022, right before the conclusion of its sale, Oxiteno sold 779 thousand and 177 thousand tons of chemical and petrochemical products, respectively.

Table of Contents

Products and markets . While operated by Ultrapar, Oxiteno’s products could be divided into two main groups for ease of understanding: (i) commodity chemicals, which are generally higher-volume products, with standard specifications, and (ii) specialty chemicals, which tend to be lower-volume products sold based on chemical features and suitability to meet a particular end-use requirement. Oxiteno’s main commodity chemicals were ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol whereas its main specialty chemicals included a wide variety of products that were used as surfactants, softeners, dispersants, emulsifiers, and hydraulic fluids.

Specialty chemicals. The following table sets forth Oxiteno’s main specialty chemical products and their main uses and markets while operated by us.


Major markets	Specialty chemicals	Examples of uses and effects

Detergents	Alkylbenzene sulfonic acids, alkylsulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, ethoxylated alkylphenols, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, polyethyleneglycols, alkanolamides, betaines, sulphosuccinates, block copolymers EO/PO.	Used in detergents, the specialty chemicals are added mainly to improve cleaning power and foaming and to reduce skin irritability.

Cosmetics	Alkylsulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, betaines, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, polyethyleneglycols, alkanolamides, ethoxylated sorbitan esters, sorbitan fatty esters.	Used in cosmetics as moisturizers, detergents for foaming and residue removal, and reduction of eye irritation in shampoos.

Crop protection chemicals	Ethoxylated fatty amines, ethoxylated alkylphenols, alkyl ether sulfates, blends, naphthalene sulfonate, ethoxylated vegetable oil, copolymers EO/PO.	Used as part of the composition of crop protection chemicals, such as herbicides. Increases their efficiency, by improving soil penetration and adherence of the products to plant surfaces.

Foods	Sorbitan fatty esters, ethoxylated sorbitan esters, emulsifiers, stabilizers, dispersants.	Mainly used as additives for breads and cakes, improving their texture and consistency, and as an emulsifier responsible for ice cream creaminess.

Textiles	Ethoxylated alkylphenols, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, ethoxylated vegetable oils, ethoxylated fatty amines, antistatic agents, lubricants, softeners, emulsifiers, antifoamers, mercerizing additives, humectants, low foam detergents.

Hydraulic fluids	Ethylene glycol ethers, ethylene glycols, corrosion inhibitors.	Used directly as hydraulic fluids in vehicles. Brake fluids guarantee brake system performance and safe braking. Cooling liquids help to cool the motor and maintain the correct operating temperature.

Oil field chemicals	Additives, emulsion breaker, mutual solvent, surfactant, antifouling, glycols, ethanolamines and dispersants.	Chemical inputs applied in all stages of the production of oil and gas, such as drilling, cementing, completion, stimulation, production and refining, each one with specific characteristics.

Coatings	Acetates, alcohols, glycols ethers, glycols, ketones, alkyl ether sulfates, ethoxylated alkylphenols, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, block copolymers EO/PO.	Solvents and surfactants are used in the preparation of paints and coatings, adhesives and inks. Solvents serve multiple functions in solvent borne paints and coatings: solubilization of the resin or polymer forming the continuous coating phase, pigment wetting and viscosity reduction to facilitate the application of the coating. Surfactants are used in emulsion polymerization and also as additive: thickeners, antifoaming agents, additives used to control rheological properties and others.

Table of Contents

Commodity products. The following were Oxiteno’s main 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.

Ethylene glycols . The main ethylene glycol produced by Oxiteno was mono-ethylene glycol, known as MEG. Oxiteno also produced 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.

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 international market. While operated by Ultrapar, Oxiteno sold the larger part of its commodities and specialty chemicals in Brazil, with production capacity exceeding domestic market demand and Oxiteno exporting surplus production to more than 50 countries in Asia, America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania. Oxiteno maintained its production capacity above local demand for strategic reasons. For the three months period ended March 31, 2022, right before the conclusion of Oxiteno’s sale and the year ended December 31, 2021, 36 % and 34 % of its net revenues from sales and services, respectively, were from sales outside Brazil. For the three months period ended March 31, 2022, and the year ended December 31, 2021, 31 % and 29 %, respectively, of Oxiteno’s sales volume were from sales outside Brazil.

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

D. Property, plant and equipment

Ipiranga

As of December 31, 2024, Ipiranga distributed fuels through 90 storages terminals, which are strategically located to provide fast and efficient delivery of its products. There are two types of storage terminals: primary, which are usually located near the coast and large cities and are supplied by refineries through pipelines; and secondary storage terminals, mainly located inland and supplied by primary storage terminals through railways or road transportation at locations not serviced by railway systems. Large customers and TRRs are also serviced by primary storage terminals. As of December 31, 2024, Ipiranga had 48 primary storage terminals and 42 secondary storage terminals.

Distributors may own their storage terminals, lease space in third parties’ storage terminals or participate in pools via jointly operated terminals that serve two or more distributors. As of December 31, 2024, the total capacity of Ipiranga’s storage terminals was 1,132 thousand m³, out of each 26 % were owned, 46 % were related to third-party agreements and 28 % were related to jointly operated terminals.

Beyond the risks discussed in “Item 3 .D. Key information—Risk factors”, there were no specific environmental issues that could affect Ipiranga’s utilization of these facilities.

For a discussion of our investments plan for Ipiranga for 2025 , see “Item 5 . Operating and financial review and prospects—B. Liquidity and capital resources— Capital expenditures and other investments.”

Ultragaz

Ultragaz’s LPG distribution network includes 46 storage plants, including 2 storage plants indirectly held through its stake in Utingás, 19 of which are also filling plants . LPG is carried to the filling plants either via gas pipelines from Petrobras’ facilities or by tanker trucks. When LPG transportation is made via gas pipelines, the bases are known as primary and when transportation is made via tanker trucks, the bases are known as secondary.

Ultragaz also operates storage bases for LPG, known as satellite bases, for supplying its bulk trucks. These storage facilities are strategically located to keep supplies close to Ultragaz’s customer base, thus reducing transportation costs. As of December 31, 2024, Ultragaz had 10 primary plants, 9 secondary plants and 25 satellite bases located in all the regions of Brazil.

LPG is stored in the filling plants in large LPG storage tanks with a median of 60 tons per tank. In the case of LPG to be delivered in bulk, LPG is pumped directly from the storage tanks into the bulk tankers. In the case of LPG to be delivered in bottles, LPG is pumped from storage tanks into several filling heads, which fill the LPG bottles.

On August 16, 2023, CADE approved the consortium agreement between Ultragaz and Supergasbrás for sharing part of their operations, infrastructure of LPG storage and filling bases. Through this agreement, Ultragaz has expanded its presence from 19 to 24 existing filling bases. Through this partnership, benefits such as optimizing logistics routes, reducing costs related to operations, filling and storage and greater supply security and service levels for customers and resellers are expected.

As of December 31, 2024, Ultragaz had a total storage capacity of 22 . 1 thousand tons, including the storage capacity indirectly held through its stake in Utingás. In addition, Ultragaz maintains its headquarters in the city of São Paulo and regional offices in the areas in which it operates.

Beyond the risks discussed in “Item 3 .D. Key information—Risk factors”, there were no specific environmental issues that could affect Ultragaz’s utilization of these facilities.

A. Operating results

You should read this discussion together with our Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this annual report. This annual report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, without limitation, those set forth in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and the matters set forth in this annual report generally.

In 2021 and 2022 , Ultrapar conducted a portfolio rationalization process and, as a result, it entered into share purchase agreements for the sale of Extrafarma, ConectCar and Oxiteno. The sale of Ipiranga’s interest in ConectCar was closed in October 2021. On December 31, 2021, Oxiteno and Extrafarma were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations, due to signing of a share purchase agreement with Indorama in August 2021 and with Pague Menos in May 2021, respectively. The sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma were closed on April 1, 2022 and on August 1, 2022, respectively, and as a result these companies are no longer part of Ultrapar’s business portfolio as of these dates. In 2022 , Ultrapar ceased to present KMV (formerly abastece aí) as a separate segment, due to the small relevance of this business relative to the overall results of the Company.

Additionally, in 2024 , in a series of transactions, Ultrapar Logística, a subsidiary of Ultrapar, acquired an equity stake in Hidrovias and, as of December 31, 2024. Ultrapar held a total stake of 41 . 9 4 % in Hidrovias. Ultrapar plans to be a strategic and long-term reference shareholder of Hidrovias, supporting its growth, governance and management model. If our expectations regarding Hidrovias do not materialize, future results may be affected.

Brazilian economic background

Since our continuing operating businesses are in Brazil, our results and financial position depend largely on Brazil’s economic and social conditions, including, but not limited to, GDP, growth rates, credit availability and disposable incomes, the domestic rate of inflation and exchange rate fluctuations.

In 2024 , Brazil's economy demonstrated resilience and achieved GDP growth, primarily driven by a robust domestic consumption and a strong labor market, marked by near-historical low unemployment rate s . However, the sharp depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar , in conjunction with elevated consumer spending, heightened concerns regarding domestic inflation . Consequently , the Central Bank raised the SELIC rate to 1 2 . 25 % per annum . Additionally, ongo i ng domestic fiscal challenges continue to contribute to market instability and investor apprehension .

In addition, we cannot predict the scope, nature and impact of any policy changes or reforms (or reversals thereof) that the president’s administration will implement, which could result in further political and economic instability and negatively impact the regulatory framework in which we operate, which, in turn, could adversely affect our businesses, financial condition and operating results. For more information, see “ Item 3 .D. Key information— Risk factors —The Brazilian government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy. Brazilian political and economic conditions, including ongoing political instability and perceptions of these conditions in the international markets, could adversely affect our businesses and the market price of our shares and ADSs.”

GDP. In 2022 , Brazilian GDP grew 2.9 %, mainly driven by the reopening of the economy after the restrictions imposed by the COVID- 19 pandemic in 2021 , added to the stimulus packages, the evolution of public accounts and the financial support policies for the population. In 2023 , GDP also grew 2.9 %, despite the challenging global scenario. The record trade balance, combined with the reduction in unemployment and the fall in the basic interest rate and inflation within the limits of the target defined by the National Monetary Council, contributed to the improvement of the economy’s performance and the appreciation of Real. GDP increased by 3 . 4 % in 2024 , which was primarily driven by solid domestic consumption and robust labor market conditions .

Inflation and currency fluctuations. Our cash operating activities are substantially in Reais and tend to increase with inflation. However, some of our costs of sales and services sold 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 the rate of inflation. In 2022 , the Real appreciated 6.5 % against the U.S. dollar, mainly due to the reopening of the economy after the restrictions imposed by the COVID- 19 pandemic in 2021 , added to the stimulus packages, the evolution of public accounts and the financial support policies for the population. In 2023 , the Real appreciated 7.2 % against the U.S. dollar, mainly due to the record trade balance in the period. In 2024 , the Real depreciated by approximately 27,9 % against the U.S. dollar, due to a combination of global economic uncertainties, higher interest rates in the U.S. and domestic fiscal challenges.

The official interest rate in Brazil, or SELIC, as of December 31, 2023, was 11.75 % per year, as set forth by the Monetary Policy Committee ( Comitê de Política Monetária do Banco Central do Brasil ). The SELIC rate decreased to 10.50 % in July 2024, and was later raised by the Monetary Policy Committee to 10.75 % in September 2024, followed by an other increase to 11.25 % in November 2024, and further to 12.25 % in December, 2024. In March 2025, the Monetary Policy Committee further raised the SELIC rate to 14.25 %.

The main foreign exchange risk we face arises from certain U.S. dollar denominated costs and expenses. Although a part of our debt is U.S. dollar-denominated, it is predominantly hedged against currency devaluation using various derivative instruments or matching assets in the same currency. Additionally, a significant part of our raw materials is also denominated or indexed to the U.S. dollar. 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 well as the devaluation (or appreciation) of the Real against the U.S. dollar.

	Year ended December 31 ,
Index	2024	2023		2022
IGP-M	6.5 %	( 3.2 %	)	5.5 %
IPCA	4.8 %	4.6 %		5.8 %
Devaluation (appreciation) of the Real against the U.S. dollar	27.9 %	( 7.2 %	)	( 6.5 %	)

We manage 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 DI and receive fixed interest in U.S. currency. See “Item 11 . Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for information about our foreign exchange risk hedging policy and Note 26 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

On December 31, 2021, our former wholly owned subsidiaries, Oxiteno and Extrafarma, were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations, due to signing of a share purchase agreement with Indorama in August 2021 and with Pague Menos in May 2021, respectively. The sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma were closed on April 1, 2022 and on August 1, 2022, respectively, and as a result these companies are no longer part of Ultrapar’s business portfolio as of these dates. In 2022 , Ultrapar has ceased to present KMV (formerly abastece aí) as a separate segment, due to the small relevance of this business relative to the overall results of the Company.

Ultrapar has resources to meet its short-term and long-term cash requirements through a combination of cash, cash equivalents and financial investments (R$ 8 , 031 . 7 as of December 31, 202 4 ) . We believe that our sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term cash requirements going forward.

Cash flows

Net cash provided by (consumed by) operating, investing and financing activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was R$ 3 , 735 . 6 million in 2024 , R$ 114.2 million lower than that of 2023 , due to the higher investment in working capital , due to lower imported product mix ( longer payments term) .

In 2024 , net cash consumed by investing activities was R$ 6 , 387 . 9 million, a n in crease of R$ 5 , 366 . 4 million compared to 2023 , mainly due to an increase of R$ 4,276.0 million in financial investments ( specially securities and fund s in local and foreign currency) and an increase of R$ 1,461.4 in the purchase of investments and other assets , mainly d u e to the investment in Hidrovias in the amount of R$ 1.8 billion .

In 2024 , net cash consumed by financing activities was R$ 1 , 234 . 1 million, R$ 1 , 2 60 . 3 million lower than that of 2023 , mainly due to higher proceeds and lower repayment from loans , partially offset by higher dividends paid and the start of the Company’s share buyback program.

For a discussion of our cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, see “Item 5 . Operating and financial review and prospects—B.

Cash and cash equivalents

Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents totaled R$ 2,071.6 million and R$ 5,925.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, we had R$ 4 , 624 . 6 million in cash, cash equivalents, financial investments and derivative financial instruments in current assets (short-term) whereas our consolidated debt due from January 1 to December 31 , 2025 , totaled R$ 4 , 087 . 8 million, including estimated interest payments on loans.

The Company and its subsidiaries use exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the 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. Hedging instruments are used to reduce the effects of variations in exchange rates on the Company’s income and cash flows in Reais within the exposure limits under its Financial Risks Management Policy. Such foreign exchange hedging instruments have amounts, periods, and rates substantially equivalent to those of assets, liabilities, receipts, and disbursements in foreign currencies to which they are related.

C. Research and development, trademarks and patents

Research and development

Our main research and development activities for the last three years are concentrated in the following actions:

In 2022 , Ipiranga restructured its research and development department with the goal of building a portfolio of high-quality products and solutions that are valued and recognized by the market, aligned with Ipiranga’s differentiation strategy.

In the first semester of 2023 , the Research and Development (R&D) department successfully concluded the development project of the Ipimax product line. This initiative targeted to improve the performance and quality of Ipiranga’s fuel products. To achieve these goals, Ipiranga conducted rigorous tests in both laboratory settings and real-world conditions, with the collaboration of strategic partners, all conceived by its R&D team. These efforts resulted in the creation of products that are gaining recognition in the market, consequently enriching the portfolio with a variety of fuels. In the second semester of 2023 , Ipiranga expanded its innovative initiatives to the B 2 B business segment by introducing the Ipimax Diesel R 5 , a product containing 5 % green diesel.

In 2024 , just a year after the launch of the Ipimax product line, Ipiranga reaffirmed its position in the market. Supported by our extensive gas station network, this milestone highlighted the strength of our differentiation strategy and reinforced our commitment to delivering high-quality products that enhance performance and efficiency for our customers.

Iconic launched the new Iconic Technology Center (CTIC) at its Duque de Caxias plant, a milestone that consolidates its leadership in innovation and development. The center integrates product and packaging quality control, technical services, advanced customer analyses, and research and development in a single environment.

Ultragaz carried out a wide range of research and development activities, mainly related to new applications and services for LPG, internet of things and artificial intelligence applied to LPG metering . Ultragaz has also expanded LPG uses portfolio to agribusiness, with a solution to increase the efficiency in grain and seed drying.

In January 2024, Ultragaz, in partnership with Refinaria Riograndense, began distributing bioLPG to its customers, a renewable liquefied gas produced from soybean oil. This initiative reinforces the company's commitment to sustainability by offering an alternative with a lower environmental impact compared to traditional LPG.

Trademarks and patents

Ipiranga and its subsidiaries own registrations for the trademarks used in its distribution business, such as Ipiranga, AmPm, Jet Oil, KMV, Clube VIP Ipiranga, Clube do Milhão Ipiranga, Posto 24 horas , Atlantic, Gasolina Original Ipiranga, AmPm Estação , among several others.

The 10 -year period of validity of the registrations for these trademarks will expire between 202 5 and 203 5 .

D. Trend information

We believe that the following significant market trends are the most important trends affecting our results of operations, and we believe this will continue to have a material impact on our results of operations in the future.

LPG business

LPG bulk sales are correlated to economic growth. Thus, an acceleration or deceleration in Brazilian GDP growth can affect our sales volume, since the segment represented 3 6 % of the volume sold by Ultragaz in 202 4 . Bottled LPG is an essential good for Brazilian population and, therefore, it has a relatively low correlation with economic performance.

Any sharp fluctuation in LPG prices charged to LPG distributors can have an impact on Ultragaz’s results if it is unable to maintain its operational margins or sales volume. For more information on LPG prices see “Item 4 .B. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Industry and regulatory overview—A. Distribution of LPG—Ultragaz—Prices of LPG.”

Liquid bulk storage business

The liquid bulk storage business is significantly influenced by market dynamics that affect supply and demand of the products which are being stored and/or handled, in addition to the increasing demand for efficient and cost-effective logistics solutions.

According to ABTL, i n 2024 , the liquid bulk storage sector in independent terminals showed a growth of 3 % compared to the previous year, mainly driven by fuel handling, which grew by 6 %. Fuels accounted for 61 % of the sector’s movement.

A key factor that influences the liquid bulk storage business in the case of fuels is the disparity between domestic and international prices. When there is a favorable arbitrage window, players may prefer to import a larger portion of their volume instead of seeking domestic suppliers, which may lead to a need for third-party storage solutions should their in-house capacity be insufficient.

According to ANP, s everal factors contributed to the year’s result:

Consumption of diesel and gasoline in Brazil drop by 1 . 4 %;
A lower participation of Petrobras in imports ( 23 % in 202 4 vs. 31 % in 202 3 ); and
The development of new supply sources of imported derivatives.

The biofuel market in Brazil also stood out:

Ethanol consumption in Brazil grew 17 % and exports decreased 24 % in 202 4 ; and
A growth of 22 % in biodiesel consumption.

Fuel distribution business

Due to its essential nature for Brazilian society and economy, the demand for fuels presents a relatively low sensitivity to prices. Therefore, the supply dynamics have been the primary determinant of the competitive environment, price conditions, and consequently, the operational margin of the segment in the short term.

Since the end of 2021 , Petrobras announced that it would cease to guarantee the supply of fuels to the Brazilian market. As a result, fuel distribution companies were required to purchase part of their fuel needs in the international market. Given that the production of oil-derivatives by local refineries is not very volatile, the main supply lever in the sector in the short term has been the import of fuels, primarily diesel. The main indicator guiding the level of diesel imports is the prices set by Petrobras. When Petrobras prices are higher than the import parity price, the level of imports tends to rise, and vice versa.

In 2023 , due to the sanctions imposed by the European Union and G 7 countries on Russia, and its search for alternative destinations to channel its production of oil-derivatives, Russia began offering them at competitive prices, becoming the main supplier of diesel to Brazil, surpassing the United States. In 2024 , the flow of Russian oil derivatives to Brazil and other Latin American countries became increasingly consolidated . Russia remained the primary supplier of diesel to Brazil while notable volumes of gasoline and naphtha imports also emerged . As the market mature s , the range of originators of Russian products in Brazil diversified, paralleling the expansion of Russia's export destinations which now include significant volumes to Africa and Asia. Add itionally , outages resulting from attacks on the Russian refining park contributed to a reduction in supply during the second half of 2024 , leading to smaller price discounts compare d to 2023 .

For an in-depth discussion on the supply and demand dynamics for the fuel distribution segment, see “Item 4 .B. Information on the Company—Business overview—Fuel distribution.”

E. Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses at the end of the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Therefore, the Company and its subsidiaries’ management use the best information available at the date of the preparation of financial statements, as well as the experience of past and current events, also considering assumptions regarding future events. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and changes are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Our financial statements are presented in IFRS as issued by the IASB. For summary information, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

The following accounting estimates were applied by management in 2024 and were considered critical:

Impairment of assets

The Company and its subsidiaries review the existence of indications of impairment of assets on a quarterly basis. For intangible assets with an indefinite useful life the review is done annually or more frequently when there is an indication that such assets might be impaired. If there is an indication of impairment, 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 inflow from continuous use and that are largely independent of cash flows of other assets (cash generating units “CGU”). The identified CGUs for the evaluation of impairment are similar to reported segments in financial statements. The recoverable amount of assets or CGUs corresponds to the greater of their fair value net of applicable direct selling expenses and their value in use.

The fair value less costs to sell 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 projections of future cash flows, trends, and outlooks, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors were considered. 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, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of these assets 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 are 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.

For more details about the judgments, uncertainties related to the assumptions and estimates, and the management analysis of impacts on the financial statements, see Notes 2 .c. 2 , 2 .d and 14 .a to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recognition of tax credits

The accounting policy applied by the Company considers relevant estimates and judgments for the tax credits recognition and for estimating its recovery. The tax credits are recorded only when management has elements that guarantee (i) that the credit is a legal right; (ii) the amount could be estimated with sufficient reliability to enable it to be compensated or refunded; and (iii) the amounts are recoverable through either offsetting with other tax credits or a tax refund. In cases where the recovery of the asset is not probable, or the amount cannot be reliably measured, the amounts are not recognized, neither is a provision recorded.

Provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks

A provision for tax, civil and labor risks is recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that a disbursement will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated, based on the opinion of management and internal and external legal advisors, and the amounts are recognized based on estimates of the outcomes of the legal proceedings. The provision is recorded as an expense for the year. The update of this obligation is made according to the development of the legal proceeding or financial charges incurred and may be reversed if the loss estimate is no longer considered probable due to changes in circumstances, or when the obligation is settled. Contingent assets are disclosed when the associated economic benefits are probable and are only recognized in the financial statements in the period in which their realization is considered certain and their amount can be reliably measured.

For more details about the judgments, uncertainties related to the assumptions and estimates, and the management analyzes of impacts on the financial statements, see Notes 2 .c. 2 and 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Realization of deferred tax assets

In order to evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets, we consider the taxable income projections from the business plans of each segment of the Company, which indicate trends and perspectives, demand effects, competition and other economic factors, and represent the management’s best estimate about the economic conditions which existed during the period of realization that the deferred tax asset was taken into account. The main key assumptions used to calculate the realization of deferred tax assets are: growth in GDP, exchange rate, basic interest rate (SELIC) and DI, inflation rate, commodity price index, among others.

For more details about the judgments, uncertainties related to the assumptions and estimates, and the management analyzes of impacts on the financial statements, see Notes 2 . c . 2 and 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business combinations and acquisition of interest in joint-ventures and associates

A business combination is accounted for applying the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured based on the consideration transferred and to be transferred, measured at fair value at the acquisition date. In a business combination, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are measured in order to classify and allocate them according to the contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions at the acquisition date. The non-controlling interest in the acquired company is measured based on its interest in net assets identified in the acquired company. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred and to be transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired (identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, net). After the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less than any accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to the respective Company’s operating segments. When the cost of the acquisition is lower than the fair value of net assets acquired, a gain is recognized directly in the statement of income. Costs related to the acquisitions are recorded in the statement of income when incurred.

B. Compensation

The objectives of our executive compensation policy and practices are (i) to align executives’ and shareholders’ interests, based on the principle of sharing risks and rewards and a long-term view of value creation, (ii) to align individual objectives with the long-term strategy and sustainability of the Company, (iii) to foster autonomy with accountability, recognizing distinguished performance and reinforcing meritocracy, and (iv) to be competitive with the relevant market, enabling the Company to attract and retain the best professionals to lead the Company. Following these principles, we adopt a competitive compensation plan that includes the use of financial, operational and value creation metrics to determine variable compensation targets, market-based benefits, and a long-term equity incentive plan.

In accordance with Circular Letter from CVM/SEP/Annual/ 2025 , from 2020 onwards we ceased to report social security contributions paid by the employer as information on management compensation.

The main components of our management compensation plan are:

Fixed compensation (salary and direct and indirect benefits): a monthly amount paid to compensate for the responsibility and complexity inherent in each position and the individual contribution and experience of the professional, while attempting to maintain levels compatible with those of peer companies. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors should earn higher amounts than the other members due to the higher responsibility inherent to the positions. The Executive Officers’ fixed compensation also includes social security contributions, vacation bonus, 13th month salary, healthcare, life insurance and medical checkup, among others. The purpose of the direct and indirect benefits is to follow market practices.

Fees for participation in statutory committees : an additional monthly amount equivalent to 1/3 of Board members’ monthly fees, consisting of the fixed fees (in cash and in shares). Board members acting as committee coordinators shall earn a monthly amount equivalent to 50% of a Board member’s fixed fees. If a member of the Board of Directors is appointed to more than one committee, the monthly compensation amount shall be limited to 50% of a Board member’s fixed fees, regardless of the position held in the committee. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is not entitled to additional compensation for participation in committees. Fees for participation in statutory committees will not be reflected in the calculation of the number of shares to be granted at the beginning of the term.

Short-term variable compensation : an annual amount paid to align the interests of the executives with those of the Company. This amount is linked to the Company’s financial and non-financial goals and the achievement of annual individual goals. All targets related to the Company and each member of the Executive Board are established in accordance with the strategic planning. Since 2022, at least 1/3 of the individual goals for executive officers has been related to the ESG agenda specifically designed for each member. Members of the Board of Directors and the Fiscal Council are not eligible for variable compensation.

Long-term incentive plan : Ultrapar has adopted a share-based incentive plan to strengthen the alignment between the long-term interests of executives and shareholders, to retain executives and to make a relevant portion of their compensation dependent on the creation of value to shareholders. Under the terms of the share plan in force since 2023, which are similar to those of the previous plan approved in 2017, there are three different programs: (i) one exclusively linked to the executives’ tenure with the Company, (ii) one comprising two equal parts, one for retention, linked to the executives’ tenure with the Company, and the other linked to the achievement of financial targets previously set by the Board of Directors, (iii) one exclusively for the members of the Board of Directors, comprising a portion of their fixed remuneration, granted in a single tranche at the beginning of the term of office, with a vesting period of two years from the date of the beginning of the term of office and an additional blocking period of two years after the transfer of the shares. Since 2020, the grants have been based on the economic value-added (EVA®), in accordance with the Company’s Strategic Plan, and since 2022, the long-term incentive agreements have included the malus clause, which provides for the retention of unvested shares upon verification of fraud or material errors in the financial statements that have unlawfully benefited the executive. For the 2024 cycle, the long-term incentive will consider both the tenure and the performance of the companies in accordance with the rules set out in the programs. In addition, the company approved the adoption of Stock Ownership Guidelines (SOG), that requires executives to retain a portion of their compensation in shares while performing their roles in the company, thus demonstrating the commitment of senior executives to the long-term success of the organization and alignment with shareholders’ interests.

Since 2023, any remuneration linked to financial metrics, whether short-term or performance shares granted, will be covered by the Corporate Clawback Policy, which stipulates that executives reimburse the company for amounts unduly paid balance sheet restatements show a difference between the gross amounts calculated and those actually paid by the company. Further details can be found in the Corporate Clawback Policy published as Exhibit 99.1 in our Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 23, 2024.

Post-employment benefits : in February 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of a defined contribution pension plan to be sponsored by the Company and its subsidiaries. Participating employees have been contributing to this plan, managed by Ultraprev (Complementary Pension Association), since August 2001. Each participating employee chooses his/her basic contribution to the plan, up to a limit of 11% of employee’s reference salary, according to the rules of the plan. Each sponsoring company provides a matching contribution in an amount equivalent to each basic contribution.

In addition, the Company shall bear the respective social security contributions, where applicable, to members of the Board of Directors and the Fiscal Council.

Share-based incentive plans . Since 2003, Ultrapar had adopted a share-based incentive plan pursuant to which certain executives had the voting and economic rights of shares held in treasury for a period of five to seven years from the initial grant of the rights. Following this period, Ultrapar transferred full ownership to those executives subject to uninterrupted employment of the participant during the period. The fair value of the awards is determined on the grant date, based on the market value of the shares on the B3 and the amounts are amortized between five to seven years from the grant date. The number of shares and the executives eligible to this plan were determined by the Board of Directors, and the latest grants under its terms were made in 2016, with vesting periods ending in March 2023.

A new plan was approved in 2017, which established the terms and general conditions for granting common shares issued by the Company held as treasury shares, which may or may not involve the granting usufruct over any portion thereof for subsequent transfer of ownership for periods determined in each program to officers or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. As a result, common shares representing up to 1% of the Company’s share capital may be delivered to the participants, which corresponded, at the date of approval of this plan, to 11,128,102 common shares. This limit was modified to reflect the split of shares approved at the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 10, 2019.

In 2023, a new share-based incentive plan was approved once more, establishing the terms and general conditions for granting common shares issued by the Company held as treasury shares, which may or may not involve granting of usufruct over any portion thereof for subsequent transfer of ownership to the Board of Directors, officers or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. The total number of shares to be delivered to the participants shall be subject to the availability of such shares held in treasury and shall be limited to 5% of the capital stock on the date of the plan’s approval on April 19, 2023, which corresponds to 55,760,215 shares. Annually, up to 1% of the Company’s capital stock may be granted. Also, for the members of the Board of Directors, 40% of the fixed compensation of each member for the whole term of office is going to be granted in restricted stock, at the beginning of each term, with vesting at the end of the term of office and lockup period of two years after the transfer of the ownership of the shares.

As of December 31, 2024, the amount granted to the Company’s executives, including tax charges, totaled R$ 623 million. In 2024, an amortization in the amount of R$ 112.2 million was recognized as a general and administrative expense.

The chart below sets forth a historical summary of the vested and unvested shares granted to the members of our Board of Directors, Executive Officers, and members of our Fiscal Council as of December 31, 2024:

C. Board practices

The management is composed of the Board of Directors and the Executive Officers. As of December 31, 202 4 , our Board of Directors consisted of nine members, eight of whom being non-executive members and seven independent members. One of the non-independent Board members is Mr. Marcos Lutz, a shareholder of Ultra S.A., who act ed as Chief Executive Officer and Vice-Chairman of the Company. The other non-independent Board member, Mr. Peter Paul Lorenço Estermann, is indirectly related to Ultra S.A. As of the date of this annual report , all of the members of our Board of Directors are non-executive member s .

Our Bylaws require at least 1/3 or two, whichever is higher, of the members of our Board of Directors to be independent directors, which exceeds the 20% required by the Novo Mercado listing rules.

In addition, our Bylaws sets 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, and may be reelected. 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. The nomination of each member of the proposed slate of the management considers the evaluation of the current Board and its committees, that is carried out at least once per term with the support of a specialized consultancy, assessing the Board’s composition, operation and effectiveness, as well as the qualification and dedication of each member. See “Exhibit 1.1—Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of April 16, 2025.”

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 General 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 April 16, 2025.”

Our Board of Directors must meet every three months and extraordinarily whenever called by its Chairman or by any two directors. Each meeting of the Board of Directors requires the majority of the members to be present, including the Chairman or the Vice-Chairman, before the meeting may commence. The vote of the majority of the members present is required for the approval of a resolution by the Board of Directors. In case of a tie, the Chairman, or the Vice-Chairman in the Chairman’s absence, will provide the casting vote. In case of urgency, the Chairman of our Board of Directors (or a third party that he/she may appoint) may call a special meeting of the Board of Directors with a shorter notice period than the usual provided, however, that two-thirds of Board members are present in order to commence such special meeting. Our Bylaws establish that a Board member who may have a direct or indirect conflict of interest with the company's interests cannot access information, participate in resolutions and discussions, vote, or intervene in such matters. During 2024, eleven Board meetings were held, with an average of 98% of meeting attendance.

Among other responsibilities, the Board of Directors is responsible for (i) setting general guidelines, (ii) electing and removing 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 certain transactions (such as indebtedness to third parties, investment or investment project; direct or indirect acquisition or disposal of an equity interest , acquisition or disposal of assets to third parties, granting of guarantees to third parties ) with value exceeding 5% of our shareholders’ equity, (vi) submit for the approval for our shareholders our dissolution or merger and (vii) select and dismiss the independent auditors. Pursuant to the Brazilian Corporate Law, the Board of Directors must be elected by the shareholders at the General Shareholders’ Meeting. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman shall be elected by the Board.

Executive Officers

As of the date of this annual report, we had five Executive Officers, including our Chief Executive Officer.

Executive Officers are elected for a two-year term and can be reelected. 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.”

Fiscal Council

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, the Fiscal Council is a separate corporate body independent of the management and the independent auditors and it 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 Resolution 70/22, in the case of Ultrapar, holders of 2% of the voting capital are entitled to request the installation of the Fiscal C ouncil. The members of the Fiscal Council elected by our shareholders shall hold office only until the next Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, at which shareholders will resolve on the installation of the Fiscal Council and elect its members for the ensuing term . The Fiscal Council must meet at least four times per year. Sinc e its establishment, in July 2005, our Fiscal Council has been meeting on a regular basis, and in 2024, it held 7 meetings. At the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 16, 2025, the Fiscal Council was not installed.

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, individuals who are members of our Board of Directors or our Executive Board 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 hold a university degree or have been a Company officer or Fiscal Council member of another Brazilian company for at least three years prior to the election to our Fiscal Council. Our Fiscal Council, when installed, shall have the duties and obligations provided by the Brazilian Corporate Law, which includes, among others, the examination of the statements of financial position and other financial statements periodically prepared by the Company, at least every three months, and the examination of the accounts and financial statements for the fiscal year and issue an opinion on them. See “Exhibit 1.1—Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of April 16, 2025.”

As set forth in our Bylaws, the Fiscal Council operates on a non-permanent basis and, when installed by the General Shareholders’ Meeting, is composed of three effective members and an equal number of alternate members. As of December 31, 2024, our Fiscal Council was composed of Mr. Flavio Cesar Maia Luz, Mr. Élcio Arsenio Mattioli and Mr. Marcelo Gonçalves Farinha as effective members. These members were elected for a term valid from April 2024 through April 2025 , with a monthly compensation in the amount of R$21.6 thousand for each effective (non-alternate) member of the Fiscal Council, except for the Chairman of the Fiscal Council, whose compensation was set at R$30.0 thousand per month .

Corporate governance

We are incorporated under the laws of Brazil, and we are subject to Brazilian laws related to corporate governance. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, there are no legal requirements with respect to corporate governance regarding (i) meetings of non-management directors, (ii) the mandatory establishment and composition of certain board committees or (iii) the adoption and disclosure of corporate governance guidelines or codes of business conduct and ethics. As a non-U.S. issuer, we are exempt from adopting certain NYSE corporate governance requirements. However, we aim to ensure that best practices, recommendations, and standards of corporate governance are employed in our functioning and operations. As of December 31, 2024, we had adopted certain corporate governance practices, such as the requirement that at least 1/3 of the members of the Board of Directors be independent, the implementation and permanent revision of a code of ethics for Ultra S.A., Parth, senior officers and all employees, and the implementation of the Investments, People and Sustainability, and Audit and Risks Committees. It is worth noting that currently the Board of Directors is composed of 78% of independent members. According to our Bylaws, the Fiscal Council acts on a non-permanent basis and should be installed when requested by our shareholders as set forth in the Brazilian Corporate Law.

In 2000, B3 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 B3, 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 the Brazilian Corporate Law. These rules generally increase shareholders’ rights and enhance the disclosure of information provided to shareholders.

In 2005, we entered into an agreement with B3 and have complied with the requirements to become a Level 1 Company, which is the entrance level of the Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices of B3.

In 2011, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting and the Special Preferred Shareholders’ Meeting approved the conversion of each preferred share into one common voting share and the migration of Ultrapar to Novo Mercado segment (the highest level of governance of B3).

In 2017, new Listing Rules for the Novo Mercado were approved by the CVM and became effective as of January 2, 2018. Some of the modifications of the Novo Mercado Listing Rules include the following requirements: (i) set up an Audit Committee (statutory or non-statutory); (ii) structure and disclose a process of assessment of the Board of Directors, its committees and the Executive Officers; (iii) establish and disclose a Code of Conduct, as well as a Compensation Policy, a Nomination Policy for the Board of Directors, its Committees and Executive Officer, a Risk Management Policy, a Related Party Transaction Policy and a Securities Trading Policy, all of them with minimum requirements. For more information on B3’s Novo Mercado segment, see “Exhibit 2.3—Rules of the Novo Mercado .”

In addition, we have provisions that exceed such requirements. 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 1/3 is required in our Bylaws. Our Bylaws also establish 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 holder of 20% of the Company’s shares, excluding treasury shares. 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 “Exhibit 1.1—Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of April 1 6 , 202 5 .”

D. Employees

As of December 31, 2024, we had 9, 558 employees. The following table sets forth our number of employees per line of business at the dates indicated:

	Number of employees ⁽¹⁾
	As of December 31,
	2024	2023 (2)	2022 (2)
Ipiranga	4,512	5,058	4,6 19
Ultragaz	3,711	3, 556	3,505
Ultracargo	843	856	830
Ultrapar (Holding)	149	175	176
Others	343	364	472
Ultrapar	9,558	10,009	9,602

(1)	Excluding interns, apprentices, on leave and retirees.
(2)	2023 and 2022 headcount revised to reflect new criteria (includes only active employees and employees on leave for up to 12 months). Additionally, the number of Ipiranga was adjusted, incorporating Millenium, Serra Diesel, and KMV (formerly abastece aí) consolidated in Ultrapar Mobilidade.

Ultrapar’s employees are covered by collective agreements with the labor unions that represent different industry sectors. Ultragaz’s and Ipiranga’s employees are covered mainly by the ore and oil products commerce labor union; Ultracargo’s employees are covered mainly by the general goods handling and general administrative assistants labor union; and the Holding’s and the SSC’s employees are covered in the trade union of autonomous commerce agents and advisory, expertise, information and research, and accounting services companies. These are the labor unions that cover most of the employees in their respective businesses, but there are other labor unions which cover our employees to a lesser degree, for example, those that represent the port and railway transportation sectors. All agreements, signed between the companies and labor unions of each sector, addresses social, financial, labor union and labor relations issues.

In 2001, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of a defined contribution pension plan to be sponsored by Ultrapar and each of its subsidiaries. Participating employees have been contributing to this plan, managed by Ultraprev (Complementary Pension Association), since 2001. Under the terms of the plan, every year each participating employee chooses his/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 base salary, according to the rules of the plan. As participating employees retire, they may choose to receive either (i) a monthly sum ranging between 0.3% and 1.0% of their respective contribution (including accumulated funds) in Ultraprev or (ii) a fixed monthly amount which will exhaust their respective contribution (including accumulated funds) over a period of 5 to 35 years. The sponsoring company does not guarantee the amounts, or the duration of the benefits received by each employee that retires. The total number of participating employees as of December 31, 2024 was 3,801 and 297 retired participants (4,053 active participants and 298 retired participants as of December 31, 2023). In addition, Ultraprev has 21 former employees or beneficiaries receiving benefits according to the rules of the previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

E. Share ownership

In accordance with our Bylaws, our common shares are our sole class of capital stock authorized and outstanding. They entitle their holders to voting rights on any matter. See “Item 6.C. Directors, senior management and employees—Board practices—Corporate governance.”

On April 10, 2019, the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting approved a stock split of the shares issued by Ultrapar, so that each share was replaced by two shares of the same class and type, and Ultrapar’s capital stock became composed of 1,112,810,192 common shares. The stock split did not involve any change in the capital stock, therefore there was no alteration in the financial amount and shareholder participation in the Company’s capital stock. The share split was implemented on April 24, 2019, which was also the date that the corresponding stock split of our American Depositary Shares was implemented.

Since February 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors confirmed the issuance of 2,594,076 common shares, within the authorized capital limit provided by the Article 6 of our Bylaws, due to the partial exercise of the rights conferred by the subscription warrants issued by the Company as a result of the merger of all Extrafarma shares into the Company as approved by the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on January 31, 2014. For more information about these subscription warrants, see Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Shareholders’ Agreements

On May 2, 2018, Ultra S.A. and Parth executed a Shareholders’ Agreement to set forth a set of rules to govern the relationship between these two shareholders. This 2018 Shareholders’ Agreement replaced the Ultra S.A. Shareholders’ Agreement executed in 2014 and should be in force for a period of five years, automatically renewable for a further period of five years, except if a termination notice is sent by one party to the other up to six months before the end of its term.

The 2018 Shareholders Agreement’s main terms were substantially related to (i) how Ultra S.A., Parth and its shareholders should vote at Ultrapar’s Shareholders’ Meetings; (ii) procedures to exchange any party’s shares in Ultra S.A. or in Parth for shares of Ultrapar; and (iii) procedures applicable to the exercise of right of first refusal, preemptive rights and tag-along rights. Additionally, any third party purchasing Ultra S.A.’s shares bound by the Shareholders’ Agreement must agree to be bound by the Shareholders’ Agreement.

In July 2019, Ultra S.A. informed the Company that its shareholders approved the disposal of all shares issued by Ultra S.A. held by Mr. Paulo Guilherme Aguiar Cunha and his family, which was concluded through certain transactions carried out in November 2019. As a result, Mr. Paulo Guilherme Aguiar Cunha and his family no longer hold any shares issued by Ultra S.A. and, therefore, are no longer parties to the Ultrapar’s 2018 Shareholders’ Agreement.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL I NFORMATION

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 net income that must be paid to shareholders as mandatory dividends. The amounts due as dividends may be paid as interest on net equity. As of December 31, 2024, our Bylaws provided for a mandatory dividend of at least 25% of the Company’s adjusted net income, after the allocation of 5% of the net income to the legal reserve.

The Brazilian Corporate Law defines the “net income” 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 income for such fiscal year, and amounts allocated to employees’ and management’s participation on the results in such fiscal year.

105

Table of Contents

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, the net income may be 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 income tax exemption reserve;

Amounts allocated to the retained profit 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 income 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 the 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 75% of our adjusted net income to an investment reserve, up to the limit of 100% of our capital stock.

Contingency reserves. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, our shareholders may decide, upon a proposal of our Board of Directors, to allocate a discretionary amount of our net income 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 income allocable to this type of reserve.

Unrealized profits reserves. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, when the mandatory dividend amount exceeds the realized net income 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. The Brazilian Corporate Law defines “realized” net income as the amount by which the company’s net income exceed the sum of (i) 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 (ii) 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 the Brazilian Corporate Law, the portion of the net income derived from donations or governmental incentives directed to investments, can be excluded of the distributable amount.

Retained profits reserve. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, our shareholders may decide to retain a discretionary amount of our net income that is provided for in a budget approved in the Annual 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 the 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.

The Brazilian Corporate Law provides that all statutory allocations of net income, 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.

106

Table of Contents

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.

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 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 the 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 when installed. The payment of the mandatory distribution for the preceding fiscal year would be inadvisable in light of the company’s financial condition. The management of the Company must report to the CVM such suspension within five days of the relevant General Shareholders’ Meeting. Under the Brazilian Corporate 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 the 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 semiannual 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$ 7,7 billion as of December 31, 2024.

We usually pay dividends or interest on equity twice a year – interim dividends or interest on equity are paid after the reporting of the second quarter financial statements and the remaining is paid after the reporting of the annual financial statements.

We declared dividends to our shareholders of R$ 769 .3 million for 2024. On August 7, 2024, the Company distributed the amount of R$276.0 million for the interim dividends’ payment (equivalent to R$0.25 per common share) . On March 14, 2025, the Company distributed the amount of R$ 493 .3 million (equivalent to R$ 0.45 per common share).

The following table sets forth the dividends per share distributed by Ultrapar in the last three years.

Payment of dividends . Within the four months following the end of each fiscal year, our shareholders are required to hold an Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting to decide, among other things, on the allocation of our net income 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 the Brazilian Corporate Law, dividends are generally required to be paid within 60 days following the date the dividend was declared, unless a 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. Pursuant to the Brazilian Corporate Law, 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 Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A. ( custody), 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 the 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.D. Key information—Risk factors—Risks relating to Brazil.”

Dividends paid by a Brazilian Corporation, in cash or in kind, in respect of the shares paid to shareholders who are not Brazilian residents, including holders of ADSs, are not subject to withholding income tax in Brazil to the extent that such amounts are related to profits generated after January 1, 1996. Dividends paid from profits generated before January 1, 1996 may be subject to Brazilian withholding income tax at varying rates, according to the tax legislation applicable to each corresponding year.

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 considerations.”

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 B3 regarding certain corporate matters applicable to us. This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to our Bylaws, the Brazilian Corporate Law, the rules and regulations of the CVM and the rules of the Novo Mercado .

In connection with the Conversion, at the Extraordinary General 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 B3; 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 the 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 B3.

As a result of the Conversion, due to the 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.

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 this segment pursuant to its rules. As of January 2, 2018, the new rules for Novo Mercado came into effect. Our Bylaws were amended on April 10, 2019 to reflect these rules.

Description of capital stock

On April 10, 2019, the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting approved a stock split of the shares issued by Ultrapar, so that each share would be represented by two shares of the same class and type. The stock split did not involve any change in the capital stock, therefore being no alteration in the financial amount and shareholder participation in the Company’s capital stock. The share split was implemented on April 24, 2019, which was also the date that the corresponding stock split of our American Depositary Shares was implemented.

As of December 31, 2023, our subscribed and paid-in capital stock consisted of 1,115,212,490 common shares, all of which have equal voting and equity rights, with no par value, of which 25,710,823 common shares were held in treasury.

On February 28 , 2024, our Board of Directors confirmed the issuance of 191,778 common shares within the limits of the authorized capital stock pursuant to Article 6 of the Company’s Bylaws, due to the partial exercise of the subscription warrants issued by the Company as of the approval of the Extrafarma transaction. These common shares have the same rights assigned to the other shares previously issued by the Company .

As of the date of this annual report, the Company’s capital stock is represented by 1,115 ,507 , 182 common shares, all of them nominative and with no par value .

Subscription warrants

As a result of the Extrafarma transaction, the Company issued subscription warrants to the former Extrafarma shareholders which could potentially lead to the issuance of up to 6,411,244 shares, taking into account the stock split approved in April 2019 (3,205,622 shares prior to the April 2019 stock split). Since 2020, the subscription warrants have been partially exercised, with an issuance of 2,594,076 common shares, to former Extrafarma shareholders. As of the date of this annual report, the exercise of the remaining subscription warrants by the former Extrafarma shareholders could potentially lead to the issuance of up to 3,006,641 additional shares of Ultrapar. For more information about these subscription warrants, see Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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” and “Exhibit 2.8 - Description of Securities Registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.”

Also, under the 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 exercise the voting rights of its 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. For more information, see “Item 3.D. Key information—Risk factors— Risks relating to our common shares and ADSs.”

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, which shall be conditioned to: (i) the launching of a public tender offer for the acquisition of all of our outstanding shares in accordance with the provisions of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the CVM rules and regulations, the Novo Mercado regulation and our Bylaws by us, our controlling shareholders or a group of controlling shareholders and (ii) the acceptance of at least two thirds of the shareholders representing the free float that show up at the tender offer auction (whether by selling their shares or expressly agreeing with the deregistration), in which case we would become a privately-held company. The price offered for such outstanding shares must at least correspond to the fair value of such shares as set forth in the respective appraisal report issued by a specialized institution with proven experience hired by the offeror for the purposes of the tender offer.

Shareholders holding at least 10% 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 equal to or lower than the original valuation price, the shareholders making such requests as well as those who vote in its favor must reimburse the Company for any costs incurred in preparing the new appraisal report. If the new valuation price is higher than the original valuation price, the offeror shall then decide whether to proceed with the public tender offer observing the new price or withdraw the tender offer, in which case the Company will continue to be registered as a publicly held company.

Withdrawal from the Novo Mercado

According to the new Novo Mercado Listing Rules – applicable as of January 2, 2018 – and to our Bylaws, the withdrawal from the Novo Mercado may be: (i) voluntary; or (ii) mandatory, as a result of the violation of any of the rules of the Novo Mercado or the deregistration as publicly-held company.

The withdrawal, however, shall only occur after the launching of a public tender offer for the Company’s outstanding shares, which shall (i) follow, as applicable, the CVM regulation that rules that the mandatory tender offer for the deregistration as publicly held company (including the abovementioned possibility to request a second valuation report); (ii) be launched at a fair price, as appointed in the appraisal report issued by a specialized institution with proven experience for the purposes of the tender offer; and (iii) be approved by at least 1/3 of the shareholders representing the free float that participate in the tender offer auction (whether by selling their shares or expressly agreeing with the withdrawal from the Novo Mercado ).

The obligation to launch such public tender offer, however, may be waived by the majority of the shareholders representing the Company’s free float present at the Shareholders’ Meeting convened to resolve on that matter. Such Shareholders’ Meeting may be held on first call with the attendance of shareholders representing two thirds of the free float or, on second call, with the attendance of any number of shareholders representing the free float.

The withdrawal from the Novo Mercado does not necessarily result in our deregistration as a publicly held company on the B3.

Table of Contents

If the Company participates in a corporate reorganization involving the transfer of its shareholders’ base to a company that is not listed in the Novo Mercado , such resulting company or companies must apply for listing on Novo Mercado within one hundred and twenty days from the date of the General Shareholders’ Meeting that approved the reorganization, unless the majority of the shareholders representing the Company’s free float present at such Shareholders’ Meeting agrees with the non-listing of the resulting company.

Pursuant to the new rules of the Novo Mercado and to our Bylaws, the voluntary withdrawal shall be preceded by a public tender offer at fair market value. For the withdrawal to move forward, shareholders representing more than 1/3 of the outstanding shares must accept the tender offer or expressly agree to delist without selling the shares.

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 shareholder(s) and the acquirer must offer to acquire the remaining shares for the same price and terms offered to the selling controlling shareholders, duly updated, or pay the difference, if any, between the tender offer price accepted by the former shareholders, duly updated, and the price obtained by the controlling shareholder in selling its shares.

Sale of control

In the event of a direct or indirect sale of the Company’s shareholding control, through a single or series of transactions, the acquirer must conduct a public tender offer for all shares held by the remaining shareholders 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 and regulations, 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 case, the acquiring shareholder must (i) complete a public tender offer for our remaining shares on the same terms and conditions offered to the selling shareholder and (ii) according to our Bylaws, 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 B3 during this six-month period, as adjusted by the Selic rate up until the payment date.

The buyer of a controlling interest shall, after the financial settlement of the foregoing tender offer, take the appropriate actions to, over the course of the subsequent 18 months, restore the minimum percentage of outstanding shares as per the rules of the Novo Mercado .

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.

Public tender offers

A single public tender offer may be launched for more than one of the purposes provided for in our Bylaws, the Novo Mercado Listing rules, the Brazilian Corporate Law or in the regulations issued by the CVM, provided that the procedures used when conducting the unified public tender offer are compatible with all requirements of each individual public tender offer, the public tender offers do not suffer any damages and the authorization of the CVM is obtained, when required by the applicable law.

Shareholders’ Meeting

A General Shareholders’ Meeting must be convened and held in accordance with the requirements of the Brazilian Corporate Law. Shareholders’ meetings are called by the publication of a notice on at least three occasions in a widely circulating newspaper of the state of São Paulo, our principal place of business, and the newspaper’s website. As determined by the Brazilian Corporate Law, the first notice of a Shareholders’ Meeting shall be given at least 21 days prior to holding the meeting. However, the CVM rules require that companies whose shares are also represented by ADSs must convene a Shareholders’ Meeting no later than 30 days in advance. In addition to such newspaper publication, the CVM requires that all documents related to the agenda to be deliberated upon on the meeting are filed with the CVM and on the CVM website (www.cvm.gov.br), as well as being made available at the Company’s headquarters and on its website, and on the B3’s website.

Holders of shares voting at a General Shareholders’ Meeting have the exclusive power to: (i) amend our Bylaws; (ii) elect or dismiss members of the Board of Directors, at any time; (iii) install our Fiscal Council and elect its members; (iv) receive the yearly accounts by management and to accept or reject management’s financial statements, including the allocation of net income and the distributable amount for payment of the mandatory distribution and allocation to the various reserve accounts; (v) authorize the issuance of debentures considering the terms of our Bylaws; (vi) suspend the rights of a shareholder in the event that such shareholder does not comply with obligations imposed by law or our Bylaws; (vii) accept or reject in-kind contributions offered by a shareholder in consideration for issuance of capital stock; (viii) pass resolutions to reorganize the legal form of merge, consolidate or split the company, to dissolve and liquidate the company, to elect and dismiss our liquidators and to examine their accounts; and (ix) authorize management to declare us insolvent and to file for judicial reorganization (a procedure involving protection from creditors available under the Brazilian Corporate Law).

Except as otherwise provided by the Brazilian Corporate Law, a General Shareholders’ Meeting may be held if shareholders representing at least one-quarter of the voting capital are present. If no such quorum is present, a second notice must again be given eight days in advance, and a meeting may then be convened without any specific quorum requirement, subject to the minimum quorum and voting requirements for certain matters, as described below. A shareholder whose voting rights have been suspended for any reason may still attend the General Shareholders’ Meeting and take part in the discussion of matters submitted for consideration.

Except as otherwise provided by law, resolutions in a General Shareholders’ Meeting are passed by a simple majority vote, with abstentions not being taken into account . In general, each share has the right to one vote. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law and in accordance with our Bylaws, the approval of shareholders representing at least one-half of the issued and outstanding shares is required for the following types of action: (i) creating a new class of shares that has a priority, preference, right, condition or redemption or amortization superior to an existing class of shares, such as preferred shares (in which case we would be required to delist from the Novo Mercado segment in accordance with its rules); (ii) changing the mandatory distribution; (iii) changing the corporate purpose; (iv) entering into any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company; (v) dissolving or liquidating the Company, and (vi) participating in a group of companies defined under the Brazilian Corporate Law. In the case of (i), the vote of the holders of a majority of issued and outstanding shares of the affected class is also required.

General Shareholders’ Meetings are called and convened by the chairman of our Board of Directors and are presided over by the chairman of our Board of Directors, or a person designated by him. The chairman of the meeting shall select a secretary from among the meeting’s attendees. Shareholders’ Meetings also may be called by (i) any shareholder, if our Board of Directors fails to call a Shareholders’ Meeting within 60 days after the date on which it is so required; (ii) shareholders holding at least 5% of our shares if our Board of Directors fails to call a meeting within eight days after receipt of a justified request to call the meeting and by those shareholders indicating the proposed agenda; (iii) shareholders holding at least 5% of our shares if our Board of Directors fails to call a meeting within eight days after receipt of a request to call the meeting to form a Fiscal Council; and (iv) our Fiscal Council, if one exists, in the event that the Board of Directors fails to call an Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting within a month of the required date. The Fiscal Council, when installed, may also call an Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting in the specific context set forth in the Brazilian Corporate Law.

Location of our Shareholders’ Meeting

Our Shareholders’ Meetings usually take place at our headquarters in the city of São Paulo, located in the state of São Paulo. The Brazilian Corporate Law permits us to hold Shareholders’ Meetings elsewhere in the event of force majeure, provided that the meetings are held in the city of São Paulo and a notice of the meeting clearly indicates where the meeting is to occur.

Also, pursuant to the terms of the CVM Resolution 81/22, as amended, the Shareholders’ Meeting may occur through a digital platform and shareholder meetings held exclusively in a digital manner are considered to have taken place at the company's headquarters, unless otherwise indicated. Accordingly, the shareholders shall attend the meeting through remote voting form and through digital platform, in person or by a duly appointed attorney-in-fact.

Table of Contents

Notice of a Shareholders’ Meeting

According to the Brazilian Corporation Law, all call notices of General Meetings must be published at least three times in a newspaper widely circulated, which, in Ultrapar’s case, is the Valor Econômico and in the newspaper’s website. The call notice must include, in addition to the place, date and time, the agenda of the meeting and, in the case of a proposed amendment to the Ultrapar Bylaws, a description of the subject matter of the proposed amendment.

Conditions of admission to our Shareholders’ Meeting

Our Bylaws provide that, in order to attend a Shareholders’ Meeting, each shareholder must furnish a share statement issued by the bookkeeping or custodian institution that indicates the number of shares of record held. The Company shall determine the deadline for the shareholders to furnish the share statement on the notice of the Shareholders’ Meeting. Shareholders represented by proxy must send to the Company the respective power of attorney also prior to the meeting. The attorney-in-fact must have been appointed less than a year prior to the meeting, and the power of attorney must be granted to a shareholder, corporate officer, lawyer, or financial institution.

The shareholders which are investment funds must send the Company, within the same period mentioned in the paragraph above: (i) evidence of the capacity of fund manager conferred upon the individual or legal entity representing the shareholder at the Shareholders’ Meeting, or the proxy granting such powers; (ii) the corporate action of the manager, in case it is a legal entity, granting powers to the representative attending the Shareholders’ Meeting or to whom the power of attorney has been granted; and (iii) in the event the representative or attorney-in-fact is a legal entity, the same documents referred to in (ii) above, as related thereto.

We will verify in good faith the validity of the documents showing the capacity of a shareholder’s representative and will presume the truthfulness of the credible statements made by such representative . However, shareholders will be prohibited from participating in any meeting if such shareholders or their representatives fails to present the respective power of attorney or the custodian’s statement (if shares are held through a custodian institution).

In the event a shareholder participates in a meeting without proper representation as mentioned in the paragraph above, or in case such shareholder does not own the number of shares claimed to be owned by it, we will notify such shareholder about the issue and will disregard the votes cast by such shareholder at the meeting. In addition, regardless of whether we hold another Shareholders’ Meeting to vote on the same matters, such shareholders will be liable for any losses and damages arising from their acts.

Should a dispute arise with respect to the exclusion from a meeting under such circumstance , the dispute will be submitted to arbitration as provided for in the Novo Mercado regulations and pursuant to our Bylaws.

The final payment of US$150.0 million (equivalent to R$ 749.4 million ) was settled on April 1, 2024. Oxiteno was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The conversions between U.S. dollars and Reais were based on the exchange rate of R$4.74 to US$1.00 on March 3 1, 2022 and of R$ 5.00 to US$1.00 o n March 31, 2024, which were the commercial selling rate for U.S. dollars as of the respective dates, as reported by the Central Bank.

Acquisition of relevant ownership position in Hidrovias

On March 24, 2024, the Company signed, through a subsidiary, a share purchase and sale instrument for the acquisition of 128,369,488 shares of Hidrovias, which represent ed 16.88% of Hidrovias’s total share capital (“Transaction Shares”) at the time , for a price of R$3.98/share. Prior to such transaction, Ultrapar already held 4.99% of Hidrovias’ share capital, which, together with the Transaction Shares, amount ed to an ownership position of 21.87% of Hidrovias’ share capital at the time . As of March 24, 2024, the Company was also party to a financial settlement derivatives transaction referenced in shares of Hidrovias equivalent to 4.99% of its share capital (such position, the “Derivatives Position”). The transaction was concluded on May 7, 2024 . On March 25 and 26, 2024, Ultrapar disposed of its Derivatives Position and then acquired shares of Hidrovias representing approximately 5.03% of its share capital through a stock exchange transaction. Therefore, on March 26, 2024, Ultrapar became the holder of additional shares of Hidrovias representing approximately 10.02% of its share capital. As a result, with the closing of the acquisition of the Transaction Shares, Ultrapar bec a me the holder of 204,560,288 shares of Hidrovias, representing approximately 26.90% of its share capital. As of the date of this annual report , Ultrapar currently holds a stake equivalent to 4 1. 9 4 % of Hidrovias' share capital.

The acquisition of this stake in Hidrovias is aligned with Ultrapar's strategy to expand its presence in sectors exposed to the Brazilian agribusiness sector, mainly in the Midwest and Northern regions of Brazil, investing in companies in which Ultrapar can contribute based on its strategic, operational, administrative and financial knowledge. Ultrapar plans to be a strategic and long-term reference shareholder of Hidrovias, supporting its growth, governance and management model. The objective of such acquisitions of shares of Hidrovias is to enable Ultrapar to exercise certain shareholder rights in Hidrovias resulting from the ownership of such shares.

Hidrovias is a Brazilian provider of integrated inland waterway transportation and related logistics services, focused on efficient and cost-effective transportation of bulk commodities cargoes. It operates in Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay across two of the largest navigable river systems in the region: the Trombetas-Tapajós-Amazonas and the Paraguay-Paraná corridors.

D. Exchange controls

There are no restrictions on ownership of our common shares or ADS by individual or legal entities domiciled outside Brazil. However, the right to convert dividend payments, interest on shareholders’ equity 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 may require, among other things, that the relevant investment and the foreign investor be registered with the Central Bank and/or the CVM, as applicable.

Foreign investors may invest in our shares in accordance with the mechanisms provided in Resolution 278 of the Central Bank, dated as of December 31, 2022, as amended, or Joint Resolution No. 13/2024. Investment in accordance with Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 affords favorable tax treatment to foreign investors who are not residents in a favorable jurisdiction, as defined by the Brazilian tax laws.

Portfolio foreign investments are regulated by the Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 and the CVM Resolution 13/20, as amended. The Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 provides that foreign investors may invest in financial and capital markets in Brazil, including by means of the issuance of depositary receipts in foreign markets in respect of shares of Brazilian issuers, provided that certain requirements are fulfilled.

Under the Joint Resolution No. 13/2024, foreign investors may invest in the same instruments and operational modalities available to the investors residing or domiciled in Brazil. The definition of foreign investor includes individuals, legal entities, funds, and other collective investment entities, residing, domiciled, or headquartered abroad.

Pursuant to the Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 and the CVM Resolution 13/20, as amended, among the requirements applicable, in order to invest in Brazil under the mentioned resolution, a foreign investor must, as general rule:

•	Appoint at least one representative and a custodian for its investment in Brazil, which must be financial institutions or other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank or CVM, as applicable. The local representative appointed by the foreign investor shall be responsible for the registration of foreign investor with the CVM; and
•	Through its representative in Brazil, register itself as a foreign investor with the CVM ;

Pursuant to the Joint Resolution No. 13.2024, individuals investing in our shares are not subject to these requirements.

Securities and other financial assets held by non-Brazilian investors pursuant to the Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 must be registered or maintained in deposit accounts or under the custody of an entity duly authorized by the Central Bank or the CVM, as applicable, or be registered with clearing houses and other entities that provide services of registration, clearing and settlement duly licensed by the Brazilian Central Bank or the CVM, as applicable. In the case of Depositary Receipts (DRs), the record must be made by the Brazilian custodian entity on behalf of the foreign depositary institution.

Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 also provides for the issuance of depositary receipts in foreign markets in respect of shares of Brazilian issuers.

117

Table of Contents

In addition, the Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 does not allow foreign investors to perform investments or sell the invested assets outside of organized markets, except as expressly authorized by the CVM through specific regulation or according to the exceptions provided in the CVM Resolution 13/20, as amended. Pursuant to the CVM Resolution 13/20, as amended, the exceptions for investments outside of organized markets include subscription, stock bonus, initial public offers and the exercise of put options for shareholders that remain following a tender offer, among others.

Foreign investors must be registered with the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service (“ Receita Federal ”) pursuant to the Nominative Instruction 2,119, dated as of December 6, 2022, as amended, and the Nominative Instruction 2,172, dated as of January 9, 2024, as amended. This registration process is undertaken by the investor’s legal representative in Brazil.

We have obtained a certificate of registration in the name of The Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary, with respect to our ADS program. 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. In order for a holder of our ADSs to surrender its ADSs for the purpose of withdrawing the shares represented thereby, the investor is required to register as a Joint Resolution No. 13/2024 investor and meet the requirements mentioned above. If the investor’s representatives fail to comply with the requirements mentioned above, the investor may incur additional expenses or be subject to operational delays which could affect its ability to receive dividends or distributions relating to the shares or the return of its capital in a timely manner. An investor who surrenders its ADSs and withdraws the shares thereunder may be subject to less favorable Brazilian tax treatment on the gains from the disposition of the investment than a holder of ADSs.

E. Taxation

This description does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to any particular investor , including tax considerations that shall 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, U.S. 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 consider 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 of our shares or ADSs. This summary does not address any tax issues that affect solely the Company, such as the deductibility of expenses .

Brazilian tax considerations

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 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.

The Law No. 12,973/14 established new rules regarding the withholding tax exemption available on the payment of dividends and interest on capital. The legislation had no material impact, as foreseen by the tax consultants in the 20-F form in the previous year .

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 .

Table of Contents

Interpretation of the discussion on the definition of “favorable tax jurisdiction.” On June 4, 2010, Brazilian tax authorities enacted the Normative Instruction 1,037 listing (i) the countries and jurisdictions considered as favorable tax jurisdiction or where local legislation does not allow access to information related to the shareholding composition of legal entities, to their ownership, or to the identity of the effective beneficiary of the income attributed to non-residents, or “tax haven” jurisdictions, and (ii) the privileged tax regimes, whose definition is provided by the Law No. 11,727/08. Although we believe that the best interpretation of the current tax legislation could lead to the conclusion that the above mentioned “privileged tax regime” concept should apply solely for purposes of Brazilian transfer pricing, thin capitalization and controlled foreign company rules, we cannot assure you whether subsequent legislation or interpretations by the Brazilian tax authorities regarding the definition of a “privileged tax regime” provided by the Law No. 11,727/08 will also apply to a non-Brazilian holder on payments potentially made by a Brazilian source.

Moreover, on November 28, 2014, due to the enactment of Ordinance No. 488, the definition of a favorable tax jurisdiction, for the purposes described above, was changed from jurisdictions where there is no income tax, or the income tax applicable rate is inferior to 20%, to jurisdictions where there is no income tax, or the income tax applicable rate is inferior to 17% (if the country is aligned with the international standards of fiscal transparency defined by Brazilian legislation).

We recommend prospective investors consult their own tax advisors from time to time to verify any possible tax consequences arising from the Normative Ruling No. 1,037/10 and Law No. 11,727/08. If the Brazilian tax authorities determine that the concept of “privileged tax regime” provided by the Law No. 11,727/08 will also apply to a non-Resident Holder on payments potentially made by a Brazilian source, the withholding income tax applicable to such payments could be assessed at a rate up to 25% .

Payments of interest on capital. The Law No. 9,249/95 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 and such payments represent a deductible expense from the payer’s corporate income tax and social contribution on net income tax basis. The deduction of such interest is limited to the daily pro rata variation of the Federal Government’s TJLP, as determined by the Central Bank from time to time, and cannot exceed the greater of:

50 % of net income (determined after the social contribution on net income and before the provision for corporate income tax, and the amounts attributable to shareholders as interest on net equity) related to the period in which the payment is made; or
50 % of the sum of accrued profits and profits reserves.

As a general rule , 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 “tax haven” jurisdiction (“tax haven holder”). These payments may be included, net of withholding income taxes, as part of any mandatory dividend.

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 the 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.

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 the Law No. 10,833/03, 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 made to an individual or entity resident or domiciled in Brazil, or not.

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.

Under the Brazilian law, however, income tax rules on such gains may vary depending on the domicile of the non-Brazilian holder, the type of registration of the investment by the non-Brazilian holder with the Brazilian Central Bank and how the disposition is carried out, as described below.

119

Table of Contents

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 0 % 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 Resolution 4,373 issued by the Brazilian Monetary Counsel (“registered holder”) and (ii) is not resident or located in a country or location which is defined as a “favorable tax jurisdiction”, as described above; and
Are subject to income tax at a rate of 15 % with respect to gains realized by (i) a non-Brazilian holder that is not a registered holder (including a non-Brazilian holder who qualifies under the Law No. 4,131 / 62 ) and is not resident or domiciled in a “favorable tax jurisdiction” and (ii) gains earned by tax haven holders that are registered holders. In this case, a withholding income tax of 0.005 % shall be applicable and withheld by the intermediary institution ( i.e. , a broker), and can be later 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 they are 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 they are 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.

Furthermore, according to the general rules set forth in the Law No. 13,259/16, any other gains on the disposal of shares (out of the Brazilian stock exchange and qualified under the Law No. 4,131/62) are subject to income tax at a progressive rate from 15% to 22.5%, or 25%, if the resident is in a “favorable tax jurisdiction” or tax haven.

Sale of ADS and shares by non-Brazilian holders to other non-residents in Brazil

Pursuant to Section 26 of the Law No. 10,833/03, 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. We cannot assure you, however, that the Brazilian tax authorities or the Brazilian courts will agree with this interpretation. As a result, gains on a disposition of ADSs by a non-Brazilian holder to a non-resident, in the event that courts determine that ADSs would constitute assets located in Brazil, may be subject to income tax in Brazil, according to the rules applicable to our common shares, as described above.

Insofar as the regulatory norm referred to in Section 26 is generic and since, at the present time, no definitive jurisprudence provided by the 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 “—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.

120

Table of Contents

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 the 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 . As of the date of this annual report , the applicable rate for most foreign currency exchange transactions is 0.38%, however, 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%. On March 15, 2022, the Brazilian Government issued the Decree 10,997/22, which establishes that IOF rate should be reduced to zero by 2029. 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). The Law No. 8,894/94 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 STF decided that the transfer of shares shall be taxed by IOF/bonds. The current rate of IOF/bonds with respect to transactions of shares is 0%. Regarding the ADSs, under the Decree No. 8,165/13 which amended the Decree No. 6,306/07, 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.

U.S. federal income tax consideration s

The following is a discussion of 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 of our shares or ADSs. The discussion applies only to a U.S. holder 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 shares (by vote or value) 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, certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States, and persons who acquired our shares or ADSs pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation.

121

Table of Contents

Moreover, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, Medicare contribution or alternative minimum tax considerations relating to the ownership or disposition of our shares or ADSs. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of our shares or ADSs.

This discussion is based on 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 is subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis), or differing interpretations, which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described herein. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position with respect to any U.S. federal income tax considerations described below. 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, (1) if such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (2) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and 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 will generally depend on the status of the partner and on the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our shares or ADSs and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax considerations of owning and disposing of our shares or ADSs.

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.

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 our 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 or 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 our 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 will generally be treated as dividends to U.S. holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A non-corporate U.S. holder will be subject to tax at the lower capital gain tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income”, provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including that (1) our shares or ADSs, as applicable, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (2) we are neither a PFIC nor treated as such with respect to a U.S. holder (as discussed below) for the taxable year in which the dividend was paid and the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period requirements are met. Although no assurance may be given, we believe that our ADSs are readily tradable on the NYSE, which is an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance, however, that our ADSs will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States in later years.

122

Table of Contents

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 will generally 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) will generally 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 will generally be treated as foreign source income and will generally constitute passive category 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 rules with respect to foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their 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 will generally recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of a share or ADS in an amount 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 such share or ADS. Subject to the discussion below under “—Passive foreign investment company”, gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other 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 such share or ADS for more than one year. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder will generally 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. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code.

A U.S. holder’s initial tax basis of our shares or ADSs will be the U.S. dollar value of the purchase price determined on the date of the purchase. If our 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 will generally 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 our 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, exchange or other disposition. A U.S. holder will have a tax basis in 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) will generally be U.S. source ordinary income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

If any gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition 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 will generally 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 so elects and 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 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 our 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% of its gross income consists of “passive income”, such as dividends, interest, rents, royalties and certain gains, including certain gains from commodities transactions, other than those that meet the Commodity Exception, or (ii) at least 50% of the average quarterly value of its gross assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.

123

Table of Contents

We must make a separate determination each year as to whether we are a PFIC. Based on a review of our gross income and assets, the way we currently operate our businesses, the current market price of our shares, and the current interpretation of the PFIC rules, including the Commodity Exception, we believe that we were not a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the 2023 taxable year. However, the determination as to whether we are a PFIC for any taxable 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 are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder holds our shares or ADSs, a U.S. holder of our 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, our shares or ADSs. Distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than 125% 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: (A) any excess distributions or gain will be allocated ratably to each day in the U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares or ADSs, (B) 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 (C) the amount allocated to each other taxable years that we were a PFIC will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate applicable to ordinary income in effect for such taxpayer 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 are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder holds our shares or ADSs and any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is also a PFIC, such U.S. holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC and would be subject to the rules described above on certain distributions by such lower-tier PFIC and a disposition of shares of such lower-tier PFIC even though such U.S. holder would generally not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

If a company that is a PFIC provides certain information to U.S. holders, a U.S. holder can then avoid certain adverse tax consequences described above by making a “qualified electing fund” election to be taxed currently on its proportionate share of the PFIC’s ordinary income and net capital gains. However, a qualified electing fund election will 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 are a PFIC.

Alternatively, a U.S. holder of “marketable stock” in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock. Marketable stock is stock that is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter (“regularly traded”) on a qualified exchange (such as the NYSE) or other market as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We believe that our shares and ADSs qualify as being regularly traded on a qualified exchange, but no assurances can be given in this regard. If a U.S. holder makes this election, such holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our shares or ADSs held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such shares or ADSs and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of our shares or ADSs over the fair market value of such shares or ADSs held at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our shares or ADSs would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a corporation classified as a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be classified as a PFIC, such holder will not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not classified as a PFIC.

Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences that would arise if we were treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including the possibility of making a mark-to-market election.

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 considerations”) will not be treated as a creditable foreign tax for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of these Brazilian taxes.

Certain reporting requirements

Certain U.S. holders are required to report to the IRS information relating to an interest in our 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 their tax return for each year in which they held an interest in our shares or ADSs. If a U.S. holder holds our shares or ADSs in any year in which we are treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. holder, the U.S. holder will be required to file IRS Form 8621. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting rules to their particular circumstances .

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS INTENDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE TAX ADVICE. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SHARES OR ADSs.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

You should read this discussion along with Note 2 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to strategic/operational risks and economic/financial risks. Operational/strategic risks (including demand behavior, competition, technological innovation, and material changes in the industry) are addressed by the Company’s management model.

Economic/financial risks primarily reflect default of customers, behavior of macroeconomic variables, such as commodities prices, exchange and interest rates, as well as the characteristics of the financial instruments used and their counterparties. These risks are managed through specific strategies and control policies.

The Company has a financial risk policy 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 market risks (currencies, interest rates and commodities), liquidity and credit.

The Financial Risk Committee (“Committee”) is responsible for monitoring the compliance with the Policy and deciding on any cases of non-compliance. The Audit and Risk Committee (“CAR”) advises the Board of Directors in the efficiency of controls and in the review of the Risk Management Policy. The Risk, Integrity and Audit Director monitors the compliance with the Policy and reports to CAR and the Board of Directors the exposure to the risks and any cases of non-compliance with the Policy.

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to the following risks, which are mitigated and managed using specific financial instruments:

Risks	Exposure origin	Management
E xchange rate	Possibility of losses resulting from exposures to exchange rates other than the functional presentation currency, which may be of financial or operational origin.	Seek exchange rate neutrality, using hedging instruments if applicable.

I nterest rate	Possibility of losses resulting from the contracting of fixed-rate financial assets or liabilities.	Maintain most of the net financial exposure indexed to floating rates, linked to the basic interest rate.

C ommodity prices	Possibility of losses resulting from changes in the prices of the main raw materials or products sold by the Company and their effects on profit or loss, balance sheet and cash flow.	Hedging instruments, if applicable.

Credit risk	Possibility of losses associated with the counterparty's failure to comply with financial obligations due to insolvency issues or deterioration in risk classification.	Diversification and monitoring of counterparty’s solvency and liquidity indicators.

Liquidity risk	Possibility of inability to honor obligations, including guarantees, and incurring losses.	For cash management: financial investments liquidity. For debt management: seek the combination of better terms and costs, by monitoring the ratio of average debt term to financial leverage.

	Exchange rate	Interest rate
Effect on profit or loss	(28 .6)	(260.7)

For the exchange rate sensitivity analysis, the Company used the average U.S. dollar rate of R$6.4226, based on future market curves as of December 31, 2024, on the net position of the Company exposed to the currency risk, simulating the effects of devaluation of the Real on profit or loss. The closing rate considered was R$6.1923. The table above shows the effects of the exchange rate changes on the net liability position of R$617.5 million (or US$99.7 million) in foreign currency as of December 31, 2024.

For the interest rate sensitivity analysis , the Company used as a base scenario the market curves affected by the Interbank Deposit (DI) rate. The sensitivity analysis shows the incremental expenses and income that would be recognized in financial result , if the market curves of floating interest at the base date were applied to the average balances of the current year. The annual base rate used was 10. 88 % and the sensitivity rate was 1 4.77 % according to reference rates made available by B3.

C ommodity prices

To mitigate this risk, the Company continuously monitors the market and uses hedge operations with derivative contracts, traded on the stock exchange and the over-the-counter market.

(b) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer, and effected by our 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. The 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 IFRS a s issued by the IASB , 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 controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Therefore, even those systems of internal control over financial reporting determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

In this context, our management, under oversight of our Board of Directors, has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

Based on such assessment and criteria, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2024.

In accordance with guidance issued by the SEC, in certain situations, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their first assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year in which the acquisition occurred. Our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 did not include the internal controls over financial reporting of Witzler Participações S.A., as the Company completed the acquisitions of 51,7% of the outstanding share capital on September 10, 2024. The combined net assets, total assets, net revenue from sales and services and net income of Witzler, as reflected in their combined financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, represented approximately 1 . 5 %, 1 . 3 %, 0 . 1 % and 2 . 1 % of our net assets, total assets, net revenue from sales and services and net income reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Auditores Independentes Ltda., audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 20-F and issued an audit report expressing its opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. The report of the independent registered public accounting firm appears on page F-5 of this annual report on Form 20-F.

(d) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Remediation of the material weaknesses identified as of December 31, 2023

Described below are the changes in internal controls over financial reporting that were carried out during 2024 to remediate the previously reported material weakness.

In response to the material weakness related to the reported deficiency in the process of monitoring activities carried out by Company personnel with restrictive access to and authority over our IT systems management and controls operations that we identified as of December 31, 2023 and disclosed in our annual report on Form 20-F for that year, our management implemented a remediation plan in 2024, under which: (i) controls were improved considering the implementation of a new monitoring strategy for such privileged access and timely response to the results of such review and assessment; (ii) new controls were implemented to ensure the completeness of privileged accesses identification; (iii) formalization and dissemination within the Company of an internal procedure that establishes the definition of privileged access over our IT systems based on the company´s risk review .

As of December 31, 2024, management completed the implementation of these remediation activities, and the changes implemented in our internal controls were tested by our management as part of the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, management has assessed that the implementation of these activities has remediated the material weakness identified in respect of the year ended December 31, 2023.

ITEM 16. [RESERVED]

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

On April 19, 2023, the Audit and Risks Committee appointed Mr. José Mauricio Pereira Coelho to act as financial expert as that term defined by the SEC in its final rules implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. For a discussion of the role of our statutory Audit and Risks Committee, see “Item 6.C. Directors, senior management and employees—Board practices—Committees of the Board of Directors—Audit and Risks Committee.”

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

In 2004, we established a Code of Ethics which covered (i) the Board of Directors; (ii) all Executive Officers (including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer); (iii) the Fiscal Council of Ultrapar; (iv) the Board of Directors and Executive Officers of its subsidiaries; and (v) remaining bodies with technical or advisory functions that are directly subordinated to the Board of Directors, the Executive Officers or the Fiscal Council 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. On September 17, 2014, the Code of Ethics was fully revised. On December 13, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a new Code of Ethics, which came into effect on March 1, 2018. The Code of Ethics was fully revised on December 8, 2021, and came into effect on March 17, 2022. On March 29, 2023, the Code of Ethics was revised to include the principles and values of the Company with immediate effects. On December 11, 2024, the Code of Ethics was revised to simplify its structure and include updated guidelines, such as controls and procedures to support our financial reports and the use of artificial intelligence. The revised version came into effect in March 2025. For the amended Code of Ethics please see our 6-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023. 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.

Also, in 2014, we approved the Corporate Policy on Anti-Corruption and the Relationship with the Public and Private Sector, applicable to shareholders, employees of the Company, third parties and business partners when representing or acting on behalf of the Company. On December 13, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a new Corporate Policy on Anti-Corruption and the Relationship with the Public and Private Sector, which came into effect on March 1, 2018. On December 8, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a fully revised Corporate Policy on Anti-Corruption and the Relationship with the Public and Private Sector, which came into effect on March 17, 2022. A revised Corporate Policy was approved by the Board of Directors on December 11, 2024, which has come into effect in March 2025. This policy consolidates the guidelines for corruption prevention to be adopted in the relationship with public officers to protect the integrity and transparency of our businesses. For our complete revised Corporate Policy on Anti-Corruption and the Relationship with the Public and Private Sector, please see our 6-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2022.

This policy provides for standard behaviors and professional conduct of the employees, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interests. The Policy was revised in 2021, now called the Conflict of Interest and Related Party Transactions Corporate Policy. On February 26 , 2025 , our Board of Directors approved a revised Conflict of Interest and Related Party Transactions Corporate Policy.

ITEM 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

Not applicable.

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 non-compliance 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 the Brazilian Corporate Law, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors.

The Brazilian Corporate Law requires that our directors be elected by our shareholders at a General Shareholders’ Meeting. According to the rules of Novo Mercado , 20% or at least two of the members of our Board of Directors, whichever is greater, must be independent. As of the date of this annual report, our Board of Directors had 7 members that meet the independence requirements pursuant to the rules of Novo Mercado . Furthermore, according to our Bylaws, at least 1/3 or two, whichever is higher, members of our Board of Directors must be independent.

The rules for the Novo Mercado segment, in force as of January 2, 2018, require the companies to assure the independence of the members of the Board of Directors, based on their relationship with the Company, its direct or indirect controlling shareholder (if applicable), its directors and its executive officers, and subsidiaries, affiliates and joint-ventures . According to these requirements a Board member will not be considered independent if he/she (i) is the direct or indirect controlling shareholder of the Company; (ii) has his/her voting rights at the Board meetings bound to a shareholders’ agreement regarding matters related to the Company; (iii) is a spouse, partner or direct or collateral first/second-degree relative of the controlling shareholder or of any executive officer of the Company or the controlling shareholder; (iv) was an employee or executive officer of the Company or its controlling shareholder in the past three years.

133

Table of Contents

Furthermore, the rules of the Novo Mercado establish that when deciding whether Board members are independent, some situations must be analyzed in order to verify whether they entail loss of independence due to the characteristics, magnitude and extent of the relationship, as follows: (i) “are they a first/second-degree relative of the controlling shareholder or of any executive officer of the company or the controlling shareholder?”; (ii) “have they been an employee or executive officer the company’s subsidiaries, affiliates or joint-ventures in the past three years?”; (iii) “do they have a business relationship with the company, its controlling shareholder, or a subsidiary, affiliate or joint-venture?”; (iv) “do they hold a position in a firm or entity that has a business relationship with the company or with its controlling shareholder, whereby they have decision-making power regarding the activities of the firm or entity?”; (v) “do they receive any compensation from the company, its controlling shareholder, or a subsidiary, affiliate or joint-venture other than the compensation relating to their position as a member of the Board of Directors or committees of the company, its controlling shareholder, or its subsidiaries, affiliates and joint-ventures, excluding income from shares in the company and benefits from supplementary pension plans?”

Once such requirements are met, the General Shareholders’ Meeting shall then be entitled to decide whether a person nominated as member of the Board of Directors is independent and may base its decision (i) on a declaration submitted to the Board of Directors in which the nominee attests and justify his/her compliance with the independence requirements or (ii) on the opinion of the Board of Directors expressed in the management’s proposal to the General Shareholders’ Meeting that elects directors and officers regarding the candidate’s compliance or non-compliance with the independence criteria.

At the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 14, 2021, our Bylaws were amended to reflect the new independence requirements, and the election of the Board of Directors deliberated upon such General Shareholders’ Meeting contemplated said requirements and procedures.

As of the date of this annual report, our Board of Directors consists of nine members, all being non-executive members and seven being independent members, according to the Brazilian Novo Mercado Listing Rules. The non-independent Board member are related, directly or indirectly, to Ultra S.A. See “Item 6.C. Directors, senior management and employees—Board practices” and “Exhibit 1.1—Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of April 1 6 , 202 5 . ”

As of December 31, 2024, no member of the Board had 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 or Ultra S.A., when applicable, as mentioned above. The Brazilian Corporate Law, the Novo Mercado Listing rules and the 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. As of December 31, 202 4 , Marcos Marinho Lutz was Ultrapar’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors . Thus, the Company held executive sessions without management present until the end of its mandate as Chief Executive Officer. Since April 16, 2025 onwards, none of our directors is 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. Notwithstanding, our Bylaws provides for a People and Sustainability Committee, an Investments Committee, and an Audit and Risks 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 April 1 6 , 202 5 .”

The members of our committees shall be elected by the Board of Directors for a term of office of two years, coincident with the term of office of the directors. They may be reappointed for successive terms, except for the members of the Audit and Risks Committee, who will exercise their positions for a maximum of 10 years. For more information, see “Item 6.C. Directors, senior management and employees—Board practices—Committees of the Board of Directors—People and Sustainability Committee” and “—Investments Committee.”

Audit and Risks Committee

U.S. domestic listed companies must have an audit committee with all 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.

Our Bylaws establish our Audit and Risks Committee as an ancillary body of the Board of Directors, which shall be composed of at least three members, all of them members of the Board of Directors and at least one member with recognized experience in corporate accounting matters, as provided in the applicable regulations of the CVM. Although our Bylaws only require a majority of independent directors, all members of our Audit and Risks Committee meet the applicable independent membership requirements of the SEC and the NYSE. All members shall be elected by the Board of Directors for a term of office of two years, and the term shall coincide with the term of office of the Directors, with reelection being permitted for 5 terms. A single member of the Audit and Risks Committee may concentrate the two above mentioned requirements.

The Audit and Risks Committee shall (a) recommend to the Board of Directors the retention and dismissal of independent audit services, as well as propose to the Board of Directors the nomination of the independent auditor and their replacement; (b) review the management report and the financial statements of the Company and of its controlled companies, and provide the recommendations it deems necessary to the Board of Directors; (c) review the quarterly financial information and the periodic financial statements prepared by the Company; (d) monitor the activities of the Company’s internal audit and internal controls departments, including follow-up and assessment of the effectiveness and sufficiency of the internal control structure and of the internal and independent audit processes of the Company and of its controlled companies, including in relation to the provisions set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, submitting the recommendations it deems necessary for the improvement of policies, practices and procedures; (e) evaluate and monitor the Company’s risk exposure per the Corporate Risk Management Policy, as well as provide its opinion on any review of the contents thereof, in addition to advising the Board of Directors in connection with the setting of acceptable risk levels; (f) review, monitor and recommend to management any corrections or improvements to be made to the Company’s corporate policies, including the Corporate Policy on Conflict of Interest and Related Party Transactions; (g) establish procedures for the acceptance and handling of information submitted by any party relating to alleged noncompliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Company, in addition to internal regulations, policies and codes, including procedures for confidential or anonymous submission, safeguarding information secrecy; (h) interact with the other Company’s governing bodies in connection with the receipt and review of information on noncompliance with legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the Company, as well as with internal regulations; and (i) provide its opinion on the matters submitted to it by the Board of Directors, as well as on those matters it determines to be relevant. For more information, see “Item 6.C. Directors, senior management and employees—Board practices— Committees of the Board of Directors—Audit and Risks Committee.”

Fiscal Council

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, the Fiscal Council is a separate corporate body independent of management and independent auditors and it 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 the CVM Resolution 70/22, in the case of Ultrapar, holders of 2% of the voting capital are entitled to request the installation of the Fiscal C ouncil. The members of the Fiscal Council elected by our shareholders shall hold office only until the next Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, at which shareholders will resolve on the installation of the Fiscal Council and elect its members for the ensuing term . The Fisca l 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 2024, they held 7 meetin gs. At the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 16, 2025, the Fiscal Council was not installed.

Additionally, individuals who are members of our Board of Directors or are Executive Officers, 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 hold a university degree or have been a Company officer or Fiscal Council member of another Brazilian company for at least three years prior to the election to our Fiscal Council. A Fiscal Council, when installed, shall have the duties and obligations provided by the Brazilian Corporate Law, which includes, among others, the examination of the statements of financial position of the Company and other financial statements prepared by a company, at least every three months, and the examination of the company’s accounts and financial statements for the fiscal year and give an opinion on them.

When installed, the Fiscal Council of Ultrapar is composed of three effective members and an equal number of alternate members and operates on a non-permanent basis when installed by the General Shareholders’ Meeting. As of December 31, 2024, we ha d a Fiscal Council installed, which wa s composed of the following members: Flavio Cesar Maia Luz, Élcio Arsenio Mattioli and Marcelo Gonçalves Farinha. At the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 1 6 , 202 5, the Fiscal Council was not installed . For more information, see “Item 6. Directors, senior management and employees—Board practices —Fiscal Council” and “Exhibit 1.1—Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of April 1 6 , 202 5 .”

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.” At the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 19, 2017, our shareholders approved a stock-based incentive plan for our employees and executives. At the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 19, 2023, our shareholders approved a new stock-based incentive plan for our employees, executives and directors and amended the prior stock-based incentive plan.

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 B3 and which we believe are consistent with best practices, such as the 100% tag-along rights to all shareholders, the establishment and disclosure of the Code of Ethics, and the adoption of the Material Notice Disclosure Policy and Securities Trading Policy, which deals with the public disclosure of all relevant information and the trading of shares issued by Ultrapar as per the CVM Resolution 44/21, as amended, and the adoption of Corporate Policy on Anti-Corruption and the Relationship with the Public and Private Sector.

Since June 28, 2011, we have been listed on the Novo Mercado segment of B3, the highest governance level. According to the rules of Novo Mercado , 20% or at least two members of our Board of Directors, whichever is greater, must be independent while a minimum of 1/3 or two is required in our Bylaws.

Our Bylaws also (i) establish 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 holder of 20% of the Company’s shares, excluding treasury shares, and (ii) determines that we adopt an Investments, an Audit and Risks and a People and Sustainability Committee, 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 “Exhibit 1.1—Bylaws of Ultrapar, dated as of April 1 6 , 202 5 .”

In addition, as mentioned above, in September 2017, new rules for Novo Mercado were approved by the CVM. Some of the modifications of the Novo Mercado Rules include the following requirements: (i) set up an audit committee (statutory or non-statutory); (ii) structure and disclose a process of assessment of the Board of Directors, its committees and executive officers; (iii) establish and disclose a Code of Conduct (or Code of Ethics), as well as a Compensation Policy, a Nomination Policy for the Board of Directors, its Committees and Executive Officers, a Risk Management Policy, a Related Party Transaction Policy and Securities Trading Policy, all of them with minimum requirements. Our Bylaws were amended to reflect, among others, such requirements and we are in full compliance with such rules.

Code of business conduct and ethics

NY SE rules require that U.S. domestic listed companies adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers, and employees. Despite the fact that the adoption and disclosure of a formal code is not required under the Brazilian Corporate Law, in 2004, we established our Code of Ethics, which was amended on September 17, 2014, on December 17, 2017, on December 8, 2021, on March 29, 2023 and on December 11, 2024. For the complete amended Code of Ethics, please see our Form 6-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023. The main objectives of this Code are (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.”

A copy of our policy is attached as “Exhibit 11.2 — Material Notice Disclosure and Securities Trading Corporate Policies, dated as of August 7 , 2024.”

ITEM 16K. CYBERSECURITY

Risk management and strategy

Ultrapar has an Information Security Policy, which consolidates the guidelines adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries, its employees and third parties (including suppliers of products and/or services) to ensure information systems security, by defining roles and responsibilities within the governance structure adopted by Ultrapar. All employees and third-party service providers that have physical or digital access to business data and technology environments of Ultrapar, must (i) observe the provisions of the Information Security Policy and other information security management policies, rules and standards; (ii) classify the confidentiality level of any document produced or information shared in line with internal data classification standard criteria; (iii) submit expedient reports on information security incidents through its manager, IT service center or directly to the information security team; and (iv) participate in all information security training and awareness activities developed by the Company.

Ultrapar’s processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats are the responsibility of our information security department, comprised of IT specialists who proactively search for vulnerabilities in our systems and monitor and act on threats and breaches identified.

We have implemented security measures to protect our databases and prevent cyberattacks, thereby reducing risks of exposure to data breaches and IT security incidents, and we have adopted various actions aiming to minimize potential technology disruptions, such as tools, controls and procedures in the management and monitoring of internal and perimeter security, periodic analysis of vulnerabilities, an information security and cybersecurity awareness program, contingency plans for critical processes, a secondary environment for physical disaster recovery and respective periodic tests, tools for continuous monitoring and correlation of events, a dedicated team responsible for maintaining and continuously improving the information security management system, incident response plans and other best practices and tools.

In recent years, we have been engaging with external advisors and consultants to conduct cybersecurity trainings , phishing and penetration tests, and evaluations on our information security systems, among other services related to our cybersecurity risk assessment programs. We also hired third-party SOC (Security Operations Center) and SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) tools to constantly monitor our systems, tracking incidents and potential vulnerabilities. Ultrapar is also ISO 27001 certified since 2022.

Furthermore, with the assistance of third-party specialized companies, Ultrapar has developed and employs several tools to support management in the event of any cybersecurity incident. These tools assist the Company in identifying its critical processes, systems and resources, whose correction should be prioritized in case of unavailability or failure, and in devising a formalized and organized incident response process, guiding all organizational levels to respond in a fast and reliable manner, should the Company experience any information security incident.

Previous cybersecurity incidents. On January 11, 2021, an unauthorized party disrupted access to our IT systems, which caused a temporary interruption to our operations and resulted in the theft of certain proprietary data. On January 14, 2021, we began restoring the systems that were affected by this incident and all critical information systems have been fully operational since February 2021. The event did not have any material and lasting impacts on the Company.

The Company had, at the time, a cyber insurance policy in place, which was triggered by the event. As of the date of this annual report, the Company does not carry insurance against cyber incidents. Therefore, similar cybersecurity incidents could have an adverse effect on our businesses, reputation, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, or result in proceedings or actions against us, including the imposition of fines. For information on risks from cybersecurity threats, see “Item 3.D. Key information—Risk factors—Information technology failures, including those that affect the privacy and security of personal data, as a result of cyber-attacks or other causes, could adversely affect our businesses and the market price of our shares and ADSs.”

Governance

In addition to the overall governance structure applicable to all risks monitored by Ultrapar, there are two support committees focused on matters related to information systems security: the Information Security Steering Committee and the Information Security Management Committee. These committees hold regular meetings (quarterly in the case of the Steering Committee and every two months in the case of the Management Committee) and also meet up regularly with the Risks, Integrity and Audit Department to discuss if the risk exposure is adequate. The Information Security Management Committee reports to the Information Security Steering Committee.

The main roles and their respective responsibilities in maintaining and continuously improving security in the information technology systems of Ultrapar are described below:

·	IT Heads (of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries):
	-	Allocate IT-related investments;
	-	Implement information security awareness and training programs;
	-	Execute plans and investments to mitigate information security risks;
	-	Supervise the implementation of action plans and mitigat e controls related to information security risks; and

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Recoverable Taxes - Recoverability of PIS and COFINS tax credits - Ipiranga - Refer to Note 7 . a.2 to the consolidated financial statement s .

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company ´s subsidiary Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“Ipiranga”) recorded recoverable tax credits related to PIS and COFINS (Federal Value Added Taxes) of R$2,970,314 as of December 31, 2024 , whose realization depends on the generation by Ipiranga of sufficient amounts of qualifying federal tax liabilities in the future . These tax credits may be utilized to offset future PIS and COFINS tax liabilities or other future qualifying federal tax liabilities of Ipiranga, or may be refunded by the Federal Revenue Service through requests if they are filed within the applicable regulatory period.

The evaluation of the recoverability of the PIS and COFINS credits of Ipiranga require s a high degree of judgment by the Company´s m anagement, given the complexity underlying the interpretations of the applicable tax laws, as well as the uncertaint ies related to the expected timing and amounts to be realized, which are based on estimates and assumptions of future business performance and market conditions , and involve considerable effort on the part of m anagement in preparing the calculations used to support the realization of those tax credits.

This matter was considered a critical audit matter due to the significance of the amounts involved, the complexity and high degree of judgment involved in assessing and challenging m anagement’s assumptions and judgments regarding the recoverability of tax credits.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the recoverability of the Ipiranga PIS and COFINS tax credits included the following, among others:

We tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of internal controls over management’s assessment of the recoverability of the PIS and COFINS credits, including relevant internal controls over the projections prepared by management and used to support the realization of the tax credits .
We i nspect ed the approvals of the strategic plan and applicable underlying projections by the Board of Directors.
We evaluated the significant assumptions used by m anagement in its recoverability assessment , including the timing and character of future qualifying federal tax liabilities, and tested the completeness and accuracy of the data supporting the significant assumptions underlying management´s projections.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Ultrapar Participações S.A.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Ultrapar Participações S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 202 4 , based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 202 4 , based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ( PCAOB ) , the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 , of the Company and our report dated April 22 , 2025 , expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

As described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, the Company’s m anagement excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Witzler Participações S.A. (“Witzler”) , as the Company completed the acquisition of 51,7 % of the outstanding share capital of Witzler on September 10 , 202 4 . The financial statements of Witzler constitute approximately 1.5 %, 1.3 %, 0.1 % and 2.1 % of consolidated net assets, total assets, net revenue from sales and services and net income, respectively, of the Company ´s consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 202 4 . Accordingly, our audit did not include internal control over financial reporting at Witzler .

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s m anagement 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 , appearing in Item 15(b) . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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 its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness 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.

Material accounting policies

Accounting policies are presented in their respective notes, except for those described below:

a. Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions carried out by the Company and its subsidiaries are remeasured into their functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of each transaction. Outstanding monetary assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rate on the date of the financial statements. The effect of the difference between those exchange rates is recognized in financial results until the conclusion of each transaction.

c.1 Judgments

Information on the judgments is included in: the determination of control in subsidiaries, the determination of joint control in joint ventures, and the determination of significant influence in associates (Note 11).

c.2 Uncertainties related to the assumptions and estimates

The information regarding uncertainties related to the assumptions and estimates are included in: determining the fair value of financial instruments including derivatives (Notes 4, 15 and 2 5 ), the determination of the loss allowance for expected credit losses (Note 5), the determination of provisions for losses of inventories (Note 6), the estimates of realization of deferred IRPJ and CSLL amounts (Note 9), realization amount of tax recoverable (Note 7), the useful lives and discount rate of right-of-use assets (Note 12), the useful lives of property, plant and equipment (Note 13), the useful lives of intangible assets and recoverable value of assets, including goodwill (Note 14), provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks (Note 18), estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Note 17), determination of fair value of subscription warrants – indemnification (Notes 19 and 2 5 ), and definition of fair value of the contingent consideration set for the business combination (Note 2 7 ). The actual result of the transactions and information may differ from their estimates.

d. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill

The Company and its subsidiaries review the existence of indications of impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets on a quarterly basis. For intangible assets with an indefinite useful life the review is done annually or more frequently when there is an indication that such assets might be impaired. If there is an indication of impairment, 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 inflow from continuous use and that are largely independent of cash flows of other assets (cash generating units “CGU”). The identified CGUs for the evaluation of impairment are similar to reported segments in financial statements. The recoverable amount of assets or CGUs corresponds to the greater of their fair value net of applicable direct selling expenses and their value in use.

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries did not record any losses with impairment of assets. In 2022 the Company, through its subsidiary Ipiranga, sold its subsidiary Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos e Cosméticos S.A. (“Extrafarma”) and wrote off the provision for impairment of assets allocated to subsidiary Extrafarma . See Note 28.

e. Other assets

Other assets are stated at the lower of cost and realizable value, including, if applicable, interest earned, monetary variations , and foreign exchange variations incurred, less the provisions for losses and, if applicable, adjusted to present value.

h. Revenue recognition

Revenues from sales and services rendered under contracts with customers are recognized on the accrual basis when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring the control of a promised good or service to a customer in such a way that the customer obtains substantially all rewards generated, according to the obligations of each transaction, and when it is highly probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will receive the consideration in exchange for the transferred goods or services.

Revenue is measured and stated at the fair value of the consideration to which the Company and its subsidiaries expect to be entitled to, less returns, discounts, rebates, sales taxes, amortization of assets from contracts with customers, and other deductions, if applicable. The Company’s subsidiaries do not have obligations for return or refund in their contracts with customers and do not have significant financing component that directly impacts the determination of the expected consideration.

5 . Trade receivables, reseller financing and other receivables

Accounting policy

Trade receivables represent amounts receivable for the sale of products and services provided by the Company's subsidiaries and are recorded at the nominal value invoiced on the date of sale.

Reseller financing is provided to promote the renovation and upgrading of service stations, purchase of products, and development of the automotive fuels and lubricants distribution market. The amounts are financed with an average payment term of 12 to 60 months, subject to interest and monetary variation. Remeasurement is carried out at a market rate for working capital loans and is recognized in the financial result.

Expected credit losses are measured in accordance with the IFRS 9 simplified approach, using a provision matrix based on expected losses for the full balance of trade receivables. The loss allowance for expected credit losses considers the expected losses for the next 12 months, which includes the deterioration or improvement of the customers’ credit quality, considering the customers’ characteristics in each business segment. The expected credit losses are calculated by the expected loss approach, considering the probability of default. Loss rates are determined by the average of advances of receivables through stages of default until full write-off. This calculation includes the credit risk score for each exposure, based on predictive data and credit assessment experience.

The amount of the expected credit losses is deemed by Management to be sufficient to cover any loss on realization of trade receivables.

6 . Inventories

Accounting policy

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and 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. The costs are measured using the weighted average cost and include the costs of acquisition and processing directly and indirectly related to the units produced based on the normal capacity of production.

At the reporting date, the net realizable value of inventories is assessed and subsequent events related to price and cost fluctuations are considered, if relevant, and a provision for losses on obsolete or slow-moving inventories may be recognized. Write-offs and reversals are recognized as "Cost of goods sold and services rendered". This classification is made by M anagement with the support of the industrial and operations teams.

7 . Recoverable taxes

a. Recoverable taxes

Recoverable taxes are substantially represented by credits of Tax on Goods and Services (“ICMS”, the Brazilian VAT), Contribution for Social Security Financing (“COFINS”) , and Social Integration Program (“PIS”).

	12/31/2024	12/31/2023
ICMS - State VAT (a .1 )	1,416,708	1,365,128
PIS and COFINS - Federal VAT (a .2 )	3,172,417	2,761,262
Others	101,152	77,249
Total	4,690,277	4,203,639
Current	2,040,008	1,462,269
Non-current	2,650,269	2,741,370

a. 1 The recoverable ICMS net of provision for losses is substantially related to the following operations:

Credits are recognized mainly of the following nature: a) transactions of inputs and outputs of products subject to taxation of the own ICMS; b) interstate outflows of oil-related products, whose ICMS was prepaid by the supplier (Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”)); c) refunds of the ICMS-ST (tax substitution) overpaid when the estimated calculation basis used is higher than that of the operation effectively performed.

In the second quarter of 2023 , with the enactment of Supplementary Law 192 / 22 (“LC 192 / 22 ”) , the single-phase ICMS levy on LPG, diesel, biodiesel, gasoline , and anhydrous ethanol became effective. Due to the advent of this new calculation modality, the subsidiaries have stopped generating credits related to the refunds of ICMS-ST (tax substitution regime).

The amounts of recoverable ICMS are realized through the Company’s own operations subject to taxes, being a revolving credit, which means that the credits are monthly offset against the tax payable on sales and new credits are generated by the acquisition of inputs, as well as by the State's refund on tax substitution operations. Management estimates the realization of the credits classified in non-current assets within a term of up to 5 years.

The provision for ICMS losses, in the amount of R$ 17,116 (R$ 49,732 as of December 31, 2023), relates to tax credit of the subsidiaries whose amounts are not included within the term determined by its internal policies of provisioning.

a. 2 The recoverable PIS and COFINS are substantially related to:

ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation basis - The balance of PIS and COFINS includes credits recorded under Laws 10,637 / 02 and 10,833 / 03 , as well as amounts arising from a STF’s favorable decision regarding the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis.

Supplementary Law 192 - On March 11, 2022 Supplementary Law 192 / 22 was published to reduce the tax burden of the fuel supply chain. Art. 9 of said law established the reduction of the PIS and COFINS tax rates levied on diesel, biodiesel and LPG to zero through December 31, 2022, ensuring at the same time the maintenance of credits taken across the whole supply chain.

On May 18, 2022, Provisional Act 1,118 / 22 amended Supplementary Law 192 / 22 to eliminate the right to take PIS and Cofins credits on purchases of diesel, LPG and biodiesel by end consumers. With the enactment of said Provisional Act, on June 2, 2022, Direct Unconstitutionality Action 7,181 was filed to challenge the provision in MP 1,118 / 22 . On June 21, 2022, the Federal Supreme Court unanimously ratified the decision that considered MP 1,118 / 22 unconstitutional due to violation of the 90 -day principle. Due to such court injunction and the non-conversion of Provisional Act 1,118 / 22 into law, the provisions in LC 192 / 22 , which assured to all legal entities that are part of the fuel supply chain, including the Company’s subsidiaries, the maintenance of PIS and COFINS credits in connection with those transactions in the period from March 11, 2022 (LC 192 / 22 publication date) to September 21, 2022 ( 90 days after the publication of LC 194 / 22 that restricted the right to take credits on taxpayers), when it became effective.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, has credits in the amount of R$ 1,686,836 (R$ 1,088,303 as of December 31, 2023) from the LC 192 / 22 . These credits were recorded considering the expectation of realization by the Company within a 5 -year period from the date of generation, period in which the Company has the ability to use these credits. The estimated realization is updated annually considering the Company's estimated future results. Due to this realization, i n the current year, the Company recognized in the line item of cost of products and services sold, additional credits of R$ 1,071,269 (R$ 563,000 as of December 31, 2023 and R$ 971,373 as of December 31, 2022 ) .

The Management estimates the realization of these credits within up to 5 years from the constitution date, as follows:

	12/31/2024
Up to 1 year	1,434,055
From 1 to 2 years	746,577
From 2 to 3 years	421,674
From 3 to 5 years	570,111
Total recoverable PIS and COFINS	3,172,417

c . Stock plan

2017 Plan

On April 19, 2017, the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting (“OEGM”) approved a share-based incentive plan (“ 2017 Plan”), which establishes the general terms and conditions for granting common shares issued by the Company and held in treasury, that may or may not involve the granting of usufruct of part of these shares for later transfer of the ownership of the shares, with vesting periods determined in each Program, to directors or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries.

As a result of the Plan approved in 2017 , common shares representing at most 1 % of the Company's share capital could be delivered to the participants, which corresponded, at the date of approval of this Plan, to 11,128,102 common shares.

At the OEGM held on April 19, 2023, the 2017 Plan was amended, permitting that, if the participant becomes a member of the Company's Board of Directors, thus ceasing to hold any other executive position, the right to receive ownership of the shares will be preserved, maintaining the conditions and other requirements established in the applicable programs and in each agreement.

2023 Plan

The share-based incentive plan (" 2023 Plan") establishes the general terms and conditions for the Company or its subsidiaries to grant common shares issued by them and held in treasury, to the Management, including the members of Ultrapar's Board of Directors, or employees of the Company or of companies under its direct or indirect control, that may involve the granting of usufruct for later transfer of the ownership of the shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2023 Plan. In the case of members of the Board of Directors, the grants will be mandatorily linked to the remuneration approved by the shareholders at the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting.

As a result of the 2023 Plan, common shares representing at most 5 % of the Company's share capital may be delivered to the participants, which corresponded, at the date of approval of said Plan, to 55,760,215 common shares. Annually, a maximum of 1 % of this limit may be used.

The table below summarizes the restricted and performance stock programs under the 2017 Plan and the 2023 Plan:

The Company does not have shares that were not transferred after the period for transfer of the ownership of the shares. For the year ended December 31, 2024, an expense in the amount of R$ 112,277 was recognized in relation to the Plan (R$ 70,770 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and R$ 38,204 for the year ended December 31,2022 ).

For all plans, settlements are made only with the delivery of treasury shares. The values of the grants were determined on the granting date based on the market value of these shares on B 3 (the Brazilian Stock Exchange).

9 . Income and social contribution taxes

Accounting policy

Current and deferred income tax (“IRPJ”) and social contribution on net income tax (“CSLL”) are calculated based on their current rates. For the calculation of current IRPJ, the value of tax incentives is also considered. At the end of the fiscal year the portion of the profit corresponding to these investment grants is allocated to the constitution of a tax incentive reserve in subsidiaries’ equity and is excluded from the dividend calculation basis and subsequently capitalized. Taxes are recognized based on the rates of IRPJ and CSLL provided for by the laws enacted on the last day of the financial statements. The current rates in Brazil are 25 % for IRPJ and 9 % for CSLL.

Deferred IRPJ and CSLL are recognized when a temporary difference between the tax and accounting balances exists, given that tax credits and debits are not subject to the statute of limitations, and mainly result from provisions for differences between cash and accrual basis, tax loss carryforwards, leasing operations, negative bases and provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks. Deferred tax assets are sustained by the continued profitability of their operations.

For purposes of disclosure, deferred tax assets were offset against deferred tax liabilities, in the same taxable entity.

On December 27, 2024, Law 15,079 was published, which introduce the Additional of CSLL to adapt Brazilian legislation to the GloBE Rules, aligning the country to Pillar 2 of the BEPS of OECD. This guideline establishes a minimum global tax rate of 15 % for multinationals with annual revenues exceeding € 750 million.

Management assessed and concluded that no relevant effects on the Company's financial statements are expected.

11 . Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates

Accounting policy

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the parent’s individual financial statements. A subsidiary is an investee in which the investor is entitled to variable returns on investment and has the ability to interfere in its financial and operational activities.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the financial statements. An associate is an investment in which an investor has significant influence, that is, has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the investee but does not exercise control. A joint venture is an investment in which the shareholders have the right to net assets on behalf of a joint control. Joint control is the agreement which establishes that decisions about the relevant activities of the investee require the consent from the parties that share control.

Other investments are stated at acquisition cost less provision for losses, unless the loss is considered temporary.

12. Right-of-use assets and leases payable

Accounting policy

The Company and its subsidiaries recognized in the statement of financial position right-of-use assets and the respective lease liabilities initially measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted by the incremental loan rate of the Company, considering the related contract costs. Right-of-use assets include amounts related to port area lease grants.

The remeasurement of assets and liabilities based on the contractual index is recognized in the statement of financial position, not having an effect on the result. In case of cancellation of the contract, the assets and respective liabilities are written off to the result, considering, if it is the case, any penalties provided in contractual clauses. The Company and its subsidiaries have no intention of purchasing the underlying asset.

The amortization expenses of right-of-use assets are recognized in the statement of income over the lease contract term. When the right-of-use asset is used in the construction of the property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”), its amortization is capitalized until the asset under construction is completed. The liability is increased for interest and decreased by lease payments made. The interest is recognized in the statement of income using the effective interest rate method.

For short-term leases of 12 months or less and lease contracts of low-value assets, which do not have a purchase option at the end of the contract the Company and its subsidiaries recognize the lease expense in the statement of income as incurred over the lease term.

13. Property, plant, and equipment

Accounting policy

Property, plant and equipment items are measured at acquisition or construction cost, which also includes costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to operating conditions, including borrowing costs on qualifying assets and non-recoverable taxes, as well as, when applicable, the estimated costs of dismantling and removing property, plant and equipment and restoring the site where the asset is located, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The borrowing costs related to funds raised for construction in progress shall be capitalized until the completion of these projects.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, taking into consideration the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are reviewed annually. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the contract term and the useful life of the asset.

14. Intangible assets

Accounting policy

Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, and are recognized according to the criteria below:

• Goodwill is shown as intangible assets corresponding to the positive difference between the amount paid or payable to the seller and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there is indication that the goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating units , which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for impairment testing purposes.

• Other intangible assets acquired from third parties, such as software, technology, and commercial property rights, are measured at the amount paid on acquisition and amortizedusing the straight-line method, according to their useful lives, and are reviewed annually.

• The decarbonization credits (“CBIOS”) acquired are recorded at historical cost in intangible assets, being prescribed according to decree in the year to fulfill the individual target set by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (“ANP”) and are not amortized. These assets are used to settle the annual decarbonization obligation adopted by Brazilian National Biofuels Policy (“RenovaBio”), implemented by Law No. 13,576 / 2017 , with additional regulations established by Decree No. 9,888 / 2019 and Ordinance No. 419 of November 20, 2019 issued by the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy. The obligation is recorded under a specific line item of the statement of financial position and is measured according to the target established by the ANP, through the average acquisition cost of credits acquired or the fair value of credits traded on B 3 on the closing date for the credits to be acquired.

The Company and its subsidiaries have goodwill and brands acquired in business combinations, which are evaluated as intangible assets with indefinite useful life.

15. Loans, financing, debentures and derivative financial instruments

Accounting policy

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss and updated using the effective interest rate and including charges. 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 5 .g. 1 ). Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the total amount payable is recognized in the statement of income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the contracting of loans are recognized as transaction costs and amortized taking into account the term of the loan, using the effective interest rate method.

b. Trade payables - reverse factoring

Accounting policy

Trade payables - reverse factoring: These operations consist of the advance receipt of amounts by the supplier from financial institutions before their due date in order to provide to suppliers the opportunity to manage their receivables more effectively.

The assignment of receivables does not result in any costs or fees with the financial institutions for the Company's subsidiaries, nor in the granting of guarantees of any type to these financial institutions. The decision to join this type of transaction is solely and exclusively of the supplier.

The agreement does not substantially change the main characteristics of the commercial conditions previously established between the subsidiaries of the Company and the suppliers. Therefore, the amounts payable to financial institutions for these transactions are presented in the line item of suppliers.

As of December 31, 2024, to accurately reflect the essence of commercial transactions, the balance reverse factoring transactions for which suppliers have already received payments was R$ 1,014,504 (R$ 1,039,366 as of December 31, 2023). The average payment term, in days, of suppliers that have joined the reverse factoring transactions and comparable suppliers is presented below:

a. ULTRAPREV - Associação 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 the Company and its subsidiaries.

Sensitivity analysis

The significant actuarial assumptions to determine the provision for post-employment benefits are: discount rate, salary growth and medical costs increases. The sensitivity analyses as of December 31, 2024, as shown below, were determined based on possible changes of assumptions occurring at the reporting date of the financial statements, keeping all other assumptions constant.

Assumption	Change in assumptions	Decrease in liability	Change in assumptions	Increase in liability
Discount rate	increase by 1.0 p.p.	19,736	decrease by 1.0 p.p.	23,953
Salary growth rate	decrease by 1.0 p.p.	284	increase by 1.0 p.p.	304
Medical services growth rate	decrease by 1.0 p.p.	18,385	increase by 1.0 p.p.	22,185

The sensitivity analyses presented may not represent the real change in the post-employment benefit obligation, since it is unlikely that changes occur in just one assumption alone, considering that some of these assumptions may be correlated.

Inherent 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.

Wage growth 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 a 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.

18 . Provisions and contingent liabilities

Accounting policy

A provision for tax, civil and labor risks is recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that a disbursement will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated, based on the opinion of Management and internal and external legal advisors, and the amounts are recognized based on estimates of the outcomes of the legal proceedings. The provision is recorded as an expense for the year. The update of this obligation is made according to the development of the legal proceeding or financial charges incurred and may be reversed if the loss estimate is no longer considered probable due to changes in circumstances, or when the obligation is settled. Contingent assets are disclosed when the associated economic benefits are probable and are only recognized in the financial statements in the period in which their realization is considered certain and their amount can be reliably measured.

e. Revaluation reserve

The revaluation reserve, recognized prior to the adoption of the international accounting standards (IFRS Accounting Standards ), reflects the revaluation of assets of subsidiaries and is based on depreciation, write-off, or disposal of the revalued assets of the subsidiaries, as well as the tax effects recognized by these subsidiaries.

f. Profit reserves

f. 1 Legal reserve

As of December 31, 2024, the legal reserve totaled R$ 240,127 (R$ 121,990 as of December 31, 2023). This reserve may be used to increase capital or to absorb losses but may not be distributed as dividends.

f. 2 Investments statutory reserve

(ii)	The variation in exchange rates on assets, liabilities and profit or loss of foreign associates with a functional currency different from the functional currency of the Company and its own management is recognized directly in equity. This cumulative effect is reflected in profit or loss as a gain or loss only in case of disposal or write-off of the investment.
(iii)	Actuarial gains and losses relating to post-employment benefits, calculated based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary, are recognized in equity under the heading “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses recorded in equity are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
(iv)	The Company also recognizes in this line item the effect of changes in the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries that do not result in loss of control. This amount corresponds to the difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest was adjusted and the fair value of the consideration received or paid and represents a transaction with shareholders.

2 5 . Financial instruments

Accounting policy

Financial instruments are classified and measured as follows:

•	Amortized cost: financial instruments held in order to collect and comply with contractual cash flows, solely principal and interest. Interest earned, losses and foreign exchange variations are recognized in profit or loss and balances are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
•	Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: financial instruments contracted for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows or selling financial assets. The balances are stated at fair value, and interest earned, losses and foreign exchange variations are recognized in profit or loss. Differences between fair value and initial amount of financial investments plus interest earned and foreign exchange variations are recognized in equity under “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Accumulated gains and losses recognized in equity are reclassified to profit or loss at the time of their settlement.
•	Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial instruments that were not classified as amortized cost or as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Balances are stated at fair value. Interest earned, foreign exchange variations and changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. Investment funds and derivatives are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company and its subsidiaries use financial instruments for hedging purposes, applying the following concepts:

•	Hedge accounting – fair value hedge: financial instrument used to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of an item, attributable to a particular risk, which can affect profit or loss.
•	Hedge accounting – cash flow hedge: financial instruments used to hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a risk associated with an asset or liability or highly probable transaction or firm commitment that may affect profit or loss.
•	Hedge accounting – hedge of investments in foreign operations: financial instruments 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

Classes and categories of financial instruments and their fair values

The balances of financial instrument assets and liabilities and the measurement criteria are presented in accordance with 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 assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market variables (unobservable inputs).

The fair value of financial instruments measured at Levels 2 and 3 is described below.

Securities and funds in local currency: Estimated at the fund unit value as of the date of the financial statements, which corresponds to their fair value.

Derivative instruments: Estimated based on the US dollar futures contracts and the future curves of the DI x fixed rate and DI x IPCA contracts, quoted on B 3 on the closing date.

Energy trading futures contracts: The fair value considers: (i) the prices established in recent purchases and sales; (ii) supply risk margin; and (iii) the market price projected in the availability period. Whenever the fair value at initial recognition differs from the transaction price for these contracts, a gain or loss is recognized.

Financing and debentures: Estimated based on the US dollar futures contracts and the future curves of the DI x fixed rate and DI x IPCA contracts, quoted on B 3 on the closing date. The fair value calculation of notes in the foreign market used the quoted price in the market.

Contingent consideration: Estimated according to Management’s projections of results based on the discounted cash flow method, considering the contractual goals set for revenue and accounting net cash flow to be achieved in the year ending December 31, 2026, referring to the acquisition of Stella on October 1, 2022.

The changes in financial liabilities measured at level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are presented below:

a. Market risk - exchange and interest rates

Currency risk management is guided by neutrality of currency exposures and considers the risks associated to changes in exchange rates. The Company considers as its main exposure the assets and liabilities in foreign currency.

The Company and its subsidiaries use foreign exchange hedging instruments to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts, disbursements and investments in foreign currencies. These instruments aim to reduce the effects of foreign exchange variations, within the exposure limits of its Policy.

As to the interest rate risk, the Company and its subsidiaries raise and invest funds mainly linked to the DI. The Company seeks to maintain most of its financial assets and liabilities with floating interest rates, adopting instruments that hedge against the risk of changes in interest rates.

Sensitivity analysis with devaluation of the Real and interest rate increase

	Exchange rate - Real devaluation (i)		Interest rate increase (ii)
Effect on profit or loss	( 28,637	)	( 260,723	)
Total	( 28,637	)	( 260,723	)

_(i)

The average U.S. dollar rate of R$ 6.4226 was used for the sensitivity analysis, based on future market curves as of December 31, 2024 on the net position of the Company exposed to the currency risk, simulating the effects of devaluation of the Real on profit or loss. The closing rate considered was R$ 6.1923 . The table above shows the effects of the exchange rate changes on the net liability position of R$ 617,478 (or US$ 99,716 using the closing rate) in foreign currency as of December 31, 2024.

(ii)

For the probable scenario presented, the Company used as a base scenario the market curves affected by the Interbank Deposit (DI) rate and the Long-Term Interest Rate (TJLP). The sensitivity analysis shows the incremental expenses and income that would be recognized in financial result, if the market curves of floating interest at the base date were applied to the average balances of the current year. The annual base rate used was 10.88 % and the sensitivity rate was 14.77 % according to reference rates made available by B3 .

b. Market risk - commodity prices

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to commodity price risk, mainly in relation to diesel and gasoline, affected by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors.

The foreign exchange derivative instruments and commodities designated as fair value hedge are concentrated in subsidiary Ipiranga. The objective is to convert the cost of the imported product from fixed to variable until fuel blending, aligning it to the sales price. Ipiranga uses over-the-counter derivatives for this hedge operation, aligning them with the value of the inventories of imported product.

To mitigate this risk, the Company continuously monitors the market and uses hedge operations with derivative contracts, traded on the stock exchange and the over-the-counter market.

Derivative	Fair value (R$ thousand)			Possible scenario (∆ of 10 % - R$ thousand)
	12/31/2024		12/31/2023	12/31/2024		12/31/2023
Commodity forward	( 7,707	)	20,702	( 12,430	)	2,663

(*) The table above shows the positions of derivative financial instruments to hedge commodity price risk as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , in addition to a sensitivity analysis considering a valuation of 10 % of the closing price for each year. For further information, see Note 25 .f.

c. Credit risk

Credit risk is related to the possibility of non-compliance with a commitment by a counterparty in a transaction. Credit risk is managed strategically and arises from cash equivalents, financial investments, derivative financial instruments and trade receivables, among others.

f. Selection and use of derivative financial instruments

In selecting derivative instruments, the Company considers the estimated rates of return, risks, liquidity, calculation methodology for the carrying and fair values, and the applicable documentation.

Derivative financial instruments are used to hedge identified risks, at amounts that do not exceed 100 % of the identified risk. Derivatives are referred to as "derivative instruments" to reflect their restricted function of hedging identified risks.

The table below summarizes the gross balance of the position of derivative instruments contracted as well as of the gains (losses) that affect the equity and the statement of income of the Company and its subsidiaries:

g. Hedge accounting

The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative and non-derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes and test, throughout the duration of the hedge, their effectiveness, as well as the changes in their fair value.

The hedged items and the hedging instruments have a high correspondence, since the contracted instruments have characteristics equivalent to the transactions considered as the hedged item. The Company and its subsidiaries designated a hedge ratio for transactions designated as hedge accounting, since the underlying risks of the hedging instruments correspond to the risks of the hedged items.

The Company and its subsidiaries discontinue the hedge accounting when the hedging instrument is settled, the hedged item ceases to exist or the hedge no longer meets the requirements for hedge accounting due to the absence of an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.

g. 1 Fair value hedge

The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments such as fair value hedge to mitigate the risk of variations in interest and exchange rates, which affect the amount of contracted debts. In December 2024, no material ineffectiveness was identified in fair value hedge operations.

g. 2 Cash flow hedge

In December 2024, the Company and its subsidiaries do not have cash flow hedges.

h. Financial instruments (energy trading futures contracts)

The Company’s subsidiaries operate in the Free Contracting Environment (ACL) and have entered into bilateral energy purchase and sale contracts with different market players. Accordingly, they assume short and long-term commitments. As a result of mismatched operations, they assume energy surplus or deficit positions, which are measured at a future market price curve (forward curve). Therefore, the Company designates these contracts as financial instruments, according to IFRS 9 , at the beginning of the contract, to include the recording of the correct exposure to the risk of future purchase and sale transactions of bilateral contracts.

Sensitivity analysis – level 2 hierarchy

	Valuation technique	Fair value of energy contracts	Sensitivity of inputs to fair value (a)
Financial assets	Discounted cash flow method	404,695	+ 10 %	382,794
Financial assets			- 10 %	404,581

Financial liabilities		114,776	+ 10 %	115,361
Financial liabilities			- 10 %	125,715

(a) This 10 % variation scenario represents a fluctuation considered reasonable by the Company, based on the history of negotiations concluded under similar market conditions.

a. Contracts

Subsidiary Ultracargo Logística has agreements related to its port facilities in Aratu, Suape, Itaqui and Vila do Conde. Such agreements establish a minimum cargo movement, as shown below:

Port	Minimum movement per year	Maturity
Aratu (*)	900,000 ton.	2022
Suape	250,000 ton.	2027
Suape	400,000 ton.	2029
Aratu	465,403 ton.	2031
Itaqui	1,468,105 m 3	2049
Vila do Conde	343,625 ton.	2044

(*)

Contract in the process of being renewed with the appropriate body, being judicialized by favorable decision, until the public entity completes the analysis so that the new amendment is signed. In a decision of the Ministry of Infrastructure, the investment plans presented by Ultracargo were preliminarily approved, and the Waterway Transport Regulatory Agency (ANTAQ) approved the technical, economic and environmental feasibility study of this extension project.

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.

2 7 . Acquisition of Interest and Control

Accounting policy

A business combination is accounted for applying the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured based on the consideration transferred and to be transferred, measured at fair value at the acquisition date. In a business combination, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured in order to classify and allocate them according to the contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions at the acquisition date. The non-controlling interest in the acquired company is measured based on its interest in net assets identified in the acquired company. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred and to be transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired (identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, net). After the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to the respective Company’s operating segments. When the cost of the acquisition is lower than the fair value of net assets acquired, a gain is recognized directly in the statement of income. Costs related to the acquisitions are recorded in the statement of income when incurred.
