Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ultrapar Holdings Inc. approved a new share buyback program through its Brazilian subsidiary Ultrapar Participações S.A. The company may repurchase up to 18,000,000 common shares, equal to 1.61% of its share capital as of the approval date. The repurchased shares are intended mainly for its stock-based incentive plan and may be held in treasury, canceled, or later sold.

As of March 31, 2026, Ultrapar had R$ 7.66 billion in profit reserves available for this purpose and already held 44,860,971 shares in treasury out of 1,069,387,156 outstanding shares. The program can run from June 18, 2026 to June 17, 2027 and may use swap derivatives and multiple financial institutions as intermediaries. The board believes the buyback will not impair debt obligations or the payment of mandatory dividends.

Insights

Ultrapar sets a modest 1.61% buyback mainly for incentives.

The board authorized a program to repurchase up to 18,000,000 shares, representing 1.61% of share capital, primarily to supply a stock-based incentive plan. This is a relatively small-scale capital management action rather than a transformative capital return.

Management cites a comfortable liquidity position and controlled leverage, supported by R$ 7.66 billion in profit reserves as of March 31, 2026. The board explicitly states that the program should not affect creditor obligations or mandatory dividends, framing it as compatible with existing commitments.

The program runs from June 18, 2026 to June 17, 2027, may involve swap contracts settled in cash for up to 12 months each, and uses several major brokers on B3. Actual impact will depend on how aggressively Ultrapar executes within the authorized limit.

swaps financial
"the instrument to be used will be swaps, in which the Company receives the price variation"
A swap is a private contract in which two parties agree to exchange streams of future payments or obligations—commonly swapping a fixed payment for a variable one, or exchanging cash flows tied to different interest rates or currencies. Investors use swaps to change their exposure to interest rates, currency moves or credit risk without buying or selling the underlying asset, which can lower financing costs, hedge against unwanted swings, or be used to speculate on market changes.
CDI rate financial
"and pays a percentage of the CDI rate with or without a pre-fixed rate"
The CDI rate is the short-term interest rate at which banks lend money to each other overnight in Brazil, and it serves as a common benchmark for interest earned on many local savings and investment products. Think of it as the economy’s reference price for borrowing and lending cash: when the CDI moves, it directly affects returns on fixed-income investments and the cost of loans, so investors watch it to gauge likely yields and risk-adjusted comparisons.

    EXHIBIT I

    INFORMATION ON APPROVAL OF TRADING OF OWN ISSUED SHARES

    ( as per Exhibit G to CVM Resolution No. 80, of March 29 , 2022 )

     

    1. Justify in detail the purposes and expected economic effects of the operation;

     

    The repurchased shares are intended to be used in the stock-based incentive plan, approved by the Company’s General Shareholders’ Meeting, and may be held in treasury and/or subsequently canceled or sold.

     

    2. Inform the number of shares (i) comprising the free float and (ii) already held in treasury;

     

    The Company has, on this date, (i) 1,069,387,156 (one billion, sixty-nine million, three hundred eighty-seven thousand, one hundred fifty-six) registered common shares with no par value outstanding; and (ii) 44,860,971 (forty-four million, eight hundred sixty thousand, nine hundred seventy-one) shares held in treasury.

    4. Describe the main characteristics of the derivative instruments that the company may use in the future, if any;

     

    In case of derivatives being used within the scope of this Program, the instrument to be used will be swaps, in which the Company receives the price variation of its shares traded on the stock exchange plus the proceeds (active end) and pays a percentage of the CDI rate with or without a pre-fixed rate (passive end). The contracts shall have a financial settlement and a maximum term of up to 12 months. The active end shall be backed by market-priced transactions carried out on the stock exchange by the hired bank.

The instruments may provide for the need for giving collateral for net exposures above a certain level.

     



     

    5. Describe agreements or existing voting instructions between the company and the counterparty to the transactions, if any;

     

    The Company or the hired bank will carry out the transactions in the stock exchange, at B3 S.A.

    6. In the event of transactions carried out outside organized securities markets, inform: a. the maximum (minimum) price at which the shares will be acquired (sold); and b. if applicable, the reasons that justify the operation at prices more than 10% (ten percent) higher, in the case of buyback, or more than 10 % (ten percent) lower, in the case of sale, than the average of the stock quotes, weighted by volume, in the 10 (ten) previous trading sessions;


    Not applicable, since the Company will carry out the transactions in the stock exchange, at B3 .

     

    7. Inform, if any, the impacts that the negotiation will have on the composition of the shareholding control or the administrative structure of the company;

     

    There will be no significant impacts on the Company’shareholding composition or its administrative structure.

     

    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 supply 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;

     

    Not applicable, considering that, at this moment, the negotiation is limited to the buyback of shares and not the sale of the shares.

     




    10. Indicate the maximum period for the settlement of authorized operations;

     

    The maximum period for the acquisition of the shares is 12 (twelve) months, starting on June 18th , 2026 , and ending on June 17th , 2027 (including the start and end dates).

    12.Specify the available funds to be used, pursuant to art. 8, § 1, of CVM Resolution No. 77, of March 29, 2022 ;

     

    According to the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company has R$ 7,662,403,059.12 (seven billion, six hundred and sixty-two million, four hundred and three thousand, fifty-nine reais and twelve centavos) in profit reserves considered as available resources for the purposes of art. 8, § 1, of CVM Resolution 77/22 .

     

    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.

In the opinion of the management, the Company has a comfortable liquidity position with a controlled level of leverage, which would support the execution of the Program.
