	RELEVANT NOTICE

São Paulo, Brazil – February 3, 2005 –ULTRAPAR PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. (Ultrapar) – (BOVESPA:UGPA4-NYSE:UGP), a company engaged in distribution of LPG, production of chemicals and logistics services for chemical products and fuels, hereby informs of the following:
1.	Certain shareholders of Ultra S.A., and Monteiro Aranha S.A. (“the Selling Shareholders”) intend to offer certain of their preferred shares of Ultrapar on a secondary public offering.
2.	On February 2, 2005 our Board of Directors approved a stock dividend in the proportion of 15 preferred shares for each 100 common or preferred shares outstanding. In accordance with Brazilian corporate law, such stock dividend will involve the capitalization of a portion of the company’s retained profit reserve and will result in the issuance of 10.5 billion new preferred shares. A substantial number of the preferred shares to be offered by the Selling Shareholders will be preferred shares received as the stock dividend.
3.	Additionally, an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholder will be convened to consider the request for the conversion of 1.8 billion ordinary shares into an equal number of preferred shares of Ultrapar, as requested by certain of the Selling Shareholders, who intend to include these shares in the Global Offering. Conversion is subject to certain legal limitations on the maximum permitted ratio of outstanding common shares to preferred shares.
4.	As a result, the Global Offering will amount to approximately 7.2 billion preferred shares, representing 9% of Ultrapar’s total capital stock and 24% of Ultrapar’s preferred share capital.
5.	The number of preferred shares offered in the Global Offering may, at the request of the lead underwriters of the Offering, be increased by up to 15% to cover over-allotments through the issuance of new preferred shares by Ultrapar (over-allotment option).
6.	Accordingly, registration statements were filed on February 2, 2005, with the Brazilian Securities Commission (“CVM”) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), for a secondary public offering (and a primary offering if the over-allotment option is exercised) of preferred shares issued by Ultrapar, such offering to be carried out simultaneously in Brazil and abroad (“Global Offering”). The registration statements are subject to review by both the CVM and the SEC.
7.	Banco UBS S.A. and Banco Pactual S.A. will be lead-coordinator and coordinator, respectively, of the offering in Brazil and UBS Securities LLC and Pactual Capital Corporation will be the joint global bookrunners of the offering outside Brazil.
The objective of the Global Offering is to increase the overall liquidity of Ultrapar´s stock, and thereby meet the interests of its shareholders.
