Subject: REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION FOR TRADING ON NOVO MERCADO
Dear Sirs,
Ultrapar Participações S.A., a corporation with its headquarters on Av. Brigadeiro Luís Antônio, nr. 1,343, 9th floor, in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, registered with CNPJ/MF under the nr 33.256.439/0001-39 (“Company”), herein acting in accordance with its bylaws (estatuto social), requests the BM&FBOVESPA defer the registration of the securities issued by the Company on the special listing segment Novo Mercado, subject to the condition precedent that the events described herein are implemented and observed, which includes:
1. As disclosed by the Material Notice, dated April 4th, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company, at a meeting dated as of same date, approved the proposal to convert all the preferred shares issued by the Company into common shares , as well as an amendment to its bylaws, which is adapted to the rules of the Novo Mercado Listing Regulation (“Amended Bylaws”).
2. Therefore, the Company requests that the registration for the trading of its securities on the special listing segment Novo Mercado be deferred, and accordingly, submits the documents required under item 3.2 of Section III of the Novo Mercado Listing Regulation, which are:
|
(i)
|
Annex 1. The request signed by the Investor Relations Officer, in conformance with the model contained in Annex E of the Novo Mercado Listing Regulation;
|
|
(ii)
|
Annex 2. The declaration signed by the Investor Relations Officer, in conformance with the model contained in Annex F of the Novo Mercado Listing Regulation; and
|
|
(iii)
|
Annex 3. A copy of the Amended Bylaws, as filed with the SEC on April 5th, 2011.
|
3. In addition, the Company requests the waiver of the requirement to furnish the documents required in item 3.2 (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) of the Novo Mercado Listing Regulation, since, based on the understanding of the Company, such documents are already public and may be found on the websites of the Company and the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM).
4. The Company’s management intends to call an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting and a special preferred shareholders’ meeting to deliberate on the approval of the Amended Bylaws, after the listing of the shares on the Novo Mercado is approved by the BM&FBOVESPA.
5. The request for registration for trading contemplated hereby should be granted subject to the following conditions precedent: (a) approval of the Amended Bylaws by the shareholders’ meetings referred to in item 4 above; (b) confirmation by the Company’s management, after the completion of the period of the exercise of the withdrawal rights, that it will not call a general shareholders’ meeting to amend the resolutions made at the shareholders’ meetings referred to in item 4 above; and (c) that no shareholder or third party, between this date and the date on which the Amended Bylaws are effective, becomes a holder of shares equal to or greater than 20% of the capital stock of the Company.
6. Once the conditions precedent are satisfied, the date of the commencement of trading of the shares on the Novo Mercado should be adjusted by the Company, in connection with the BM&FBOVESPA, the bookkeeping institution, and the entity issuing American depositary receipts of the Company outside of Brazil.
Any requests, including those for clarification, should be sent to Mr. André Covre, Investor Relations Officer, by email andre.covre@ultra.com.br, or by fax (55 11 3177 6107) or by telephone (55 11 3177 7014).
