São Paulo, March 22, 2019 – Ultrapar Participações S.A. (B3: UGPA3; NYSE: UGP, “Ultrapar” or “Company”) hereby informs that the consortiums Nordeste and Navegantes won the bids for the areas AI/01, AE/10 and AE/11 located at the port of Cabedelo, in the state of Paraíba, andVIX-30 at the port of Vitória, in the state of Espírito Santo, respectively. Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“Ipiranga”), subsidiary of Ultrapar, holds one third of the total participation in these consortiums. These areas will be designated for handling, storage and distribution of fuels.
The concessions’ auctions were concluded today after the bidding process held by the National Agency for Waterway Transportation – ANTAQ, at B3 headquarters in São Paulo. The minimum storage capacity for consortium Nordeste will be 64.0 thousand m³ and initial operations are expected for 2020, while the minimum storage capacity for the consortium Navegantes will be 65.7 thousand m³, with initial operation expected for 2022.
Such areas will be operated by the consortiums for 25 years, according to the auction notice, a term that can be successively extended up to 70 years at the grantor’s power discretion.
The estimated investments regarding Ipiranga’s stake in both consortiums sums up to R$ 160 million, approximately, to be disbursed throughout the next five years, including the auction grants and the minimum investment required for these areas.
This is a strategic move for Ipiranga, which improves logistics efficiency of fuels distribution through its own storage capacity and contributes to better quality services in the respective regions.
