(ii) in connection with the capital increase of RPR, Ultrapar is required, under Brazilian corporate laws, to offer preemptive rights to the shareholders of Ultrapar solely in Brazil, pursuant to which they will be entitled to subscribe to RPR's shares on a pro rata basis; and

(iii) the record date for the exercise of such preemptive rights has been changed from January 27, 2009 to February 11, 2009.
