MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT

São Paulo, April 10, 2019 – Ultrapar Participações S.A. (B3: UGPA3 / NYSE: UGP, “Ultrapar” or “Company”) informs the conclusion, on this date, of the Brazilian antitrust authority (“CADE”) administrative process nr. 087000.010769/2014-64, initiated in April of 2010, involving the Company’s subsidiary Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“Ipiranga”), which questioned alleged non-competitive conducts in the fuel-distribution and resale market in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Contagem and Betim, in the state of Minas Gerais, between October 2006 and July 2008.

Despite Ipiranga’s conviction regarding the good standing of its conducts demonstrated throughout the process, CADE administrative award ruled against Ipiranga for allegedly influencing uniform commercial conduct among fuel resellers, while the charges against Ipiranga for participating in the formation of a cartel among fuel distributors were dismissed. The award has condemned Ipiranga to pay a fine of R$ 40.7 million.

Ipiranga will continue to exercise its full defense rights, appealing to all administrative and judicial courts, in order to challenge the interpretation upon which such ruling was based.

Ultrapar reassures its commitment to the best competitive practices and respect for consumers, reinforcing that it does not endorse illegal practices, does not agree with activities that violate its Compliance Program and prizes transparency and ethics in all its actions and relationships.
