The Company or the hired bank will carry out the transactions in the stock exchange, at B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) and, therefore, it will not be possible to specify in advance who the counterparties in the transactions will be.

8.    Identify the counterparties, if known, and, in the event that the counterparty is a party related to the company, as set out in the accounting rules that cover this matter, also provide information required by art. 9 of CVM Resolution No. 81, of March 29, 2022;

 

The Program’s transactions will be carried out in the stock exchange, so it will not be possible to specify the counterparties of each transaction in advance. Additionally, the Company will observe the terms of the Material Notice Disclosure and Securities Trading Policies, especially regarding transactions made (i) by the Company itself, and (ii) by its management and other people subject to the policies, with due precautions, including to prevent them from being counterparties in the transactions.

 




9.      Indicate the destination of the funds earned, if applicable;

13.   Specify the reasons why the members of the board of directors feel comfortable that the buyback of shares will not affect the fulfillment of obligations assumed with creditors or the payment of mandatory, fixed or minimum dividends.

 

The members of the Board of Directors believe that the execution of the Program will not affect Ultrapar’s ability to meet financial commitments, nor the payment of dividends by the Company, also in accordance with the opinion of the Company’s Executive Board.
