ANNOUNCEMENT
In addition to the Material Notice and
to the Market Announcement released, respectively, on June 6, 2008 and October
13, 2008, Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Ultrapar”), hereby announces that the
acquisition of União Terminais e Armazéns Gerais Ltda. (“União Terminais”) has
been concluded today with the purchase of 100% of the social capital of
Lexington Participações Ltda. (“Lexington”), held by Unipar – União das
Indústrias Petroquímicas S.A., pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement of
Shares signed on June 6, 2008. Lexington is the special purpose entity, that
incorporated the spun-off stake of União Terminais on September 30, 2008,
becoming, by succession, owner of the shares representative of 50% (fifty per
cent) of the social capital of União/Vopak Armazéns Gerais Ltda.
(“União/Vopak”), formerly owned by União Terminais. União/Vopak owns a port
terminal in Paranaguá (in the state of Paraná) with storage capacity of 60
thousand cubic meters for the handling of vegetable oils and chemical
products.
Ultracargo paid, for the acquisition of
Lexington, the final value of R$ 22 million.
The acquisition of União Terminais,
which was concluded with the transfer of Lexington, is a relevant investment for
Ultrapar (according to Article 247, of Brazilian Corporate Law) and will be
submitted to deliberation on the Extraordinary General Meeting, under the terms
of the article 256 of Brazilian Corporate Law. Considering that up to the
present date, the appraisal of the equity at market value of the acquired
companies was not concluded as required by item II (b) of Article 256, at this
moment it is not possible to define whether shareholders who eventually dissent
from the decisions taken at the extraordinary general meeting to approve the
acquisition will have or not appraisal right. Ultrapar will inform its
shareholders and the market in due course about the extraordinary general
meeting and the applicability or not of appraisal right. In the event the
acquisition entitles appraisal right, dissenting shareholders who can exercise
this right are the shareholders who own common shares issued by the Company
without interruption since the release of the Material Notice on June 06, 2008,
including this date.
Additional information about União
Terminais is available at Ultrapar’s website
(www.ultra.com.br).
