MATERIAL NOTICE
Ultrapar announces the date of the conversion of each preferred share into one common share and of the listing in the Novo Mercado segment
In addition to the Material Notice released on April 4, 2011 and the Notice to Shareholders released on June 28, 2011, Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Ultrapar” or “Company”) reports to its shareholders and to the market that the period for exercising the withdrawal right by shareholders who dissented from the resolutions of the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting (“Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting”) held on June 28, 2011, ended today, and that the Company’s management did not exercise its option pursuant to article 137, § 3, of Law nr. 6,404/76.
Ultrapar also informs that, on August 17, 2011, each preferred share issued by the Company will be converted into one common share, and its common shares will start trading on the Novo Mercado listing segment of BM&FBOVESPA. As of the same date, the ADRs represented by preferred shares will be represented by common shares issued by Ultrapar and will be traded in the New York Stock Exchange under this new format.
In addition, on August 17, 2011, Ultrapar’s new bylaws approved at the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of June 28, 2011 will become effective.
This stage completes the process of implementing Ultrapar’s new corporate governance structure announced on April 4, 2011. We believe that the new structure enables higher investment capacity, growth, attraction and retention of talented professionals and value creation for the Company. All Ultrapar shareholders will be granted identical voting rights to actively participate in the decisions of the shareholders’ meeting, to build an even better company and to allow its longevity.
São Paulo, August 1, 2011.
