MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT
 

 
São Paulo, Brazil, November 22, 2013 – Ultrapar Participações S.A. (BM&FBOVESPA:UGPA3 / NYSE:UGP) hereby informs that its subsidiary Oxiteno published today the following announcement:
 

“OXITENO hereby informs that the acquisition of American Chemical I.C.S.A. (Uruguay – Montevideo) was approved by the Brazilian Antitrust Authority (CADE) upon the execution of a 5-year term settlement instrument.
 
The agreement entered into in good faith between CADE and OXITENO has the purpose to settle any concerns regarding the possibility of a refusal on the sale and/or imposition of prices or discriminatory or abusive contractual terms in the Brazilian market of Ethoxylated Lauryl Alcohol – ELA (a raw material for the production of Lauryl Ether Sodium Sulphate – LESS).
 
The settlement instrument, fully available at www.cade.gov.br and www.oxiteno.com.br websites, establishes, among other matters, the obligation to periodically report to CADE the steady commitment of OXITENO to keep serving its customers on an equal and non-discriminatory manner, and to further prevent the unjustified refusal of sales and/or imposition of actions or contractual terms different from the business practices and policies in the ELA market.”
