Signing of an agreement for the acquisition of a stake in Witzler by Ultragaz

 

São Paulo, June 10, 2024 – Ultrapar Participações S.A. (B3: UGPA3 / NYSE: UGP, “Ultrapar”), in compliance with CVM Resolution 44/21, hereby informs the signing of an agreement for the acquisition of a 51.7% stake in Witzler Participações S.A. (“Witzler”) through its subsidiary Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Ultragaz”). The value of the transaction will be R$ 110 million, of which R$ 50 million will be injected in the acquired company through a capital increase and R$ 60 million will be paid once the transaction is closed. In addition, there is an installment of R$ 40 million subject to certain performance conditions to be measured within 12 months.

Witzler, which was founded in 2015, operates in the commercialization of electrical energy in the free market and in the energy management of its customers. With over 3 thousand consumer units contracted in the retail and wholesale segments, the company operates nationwide and has stood out as one of the main independent retail players. 

 

This acquisition is aligned with Ultragaz's strategy of expanding its offering of energy solutions to its customers, leveraging on its capillarity, commercial strength, brand and extensive base of industrial and residential customers, consistent with the disclosure Ultrapar has been providing to its shareholders and to the capital market. Ultragaz, which already offers solutions for low voltage customers through Ultragaz Energia Inteligente (as a result of the acquisition of Stella Energia), will also start working with high voltage customers, consolidating its position in the electrical energy market.

 

Ultragaz and Witzler will maintain their regular course of business, on an independent manner, until the closing date of the transaction, subject to approval by the Administrative Council of Economic Defense (CADE) and other regulatory bodies.
