ANNOUNCEMENT
Ultracargo sells its
in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses and
focus its activities on liquid bulk storage
São Paulo, March
31st, 2010 –
Ultrapar Participações S.A. hereby announces that it has signed a sale and
purchase agreement (“SPA”) to sell the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage
and road transportation businesses to Aqces Logística Internacional Ltda.
(“Aqces“), a company owned by Fundo de Investimentos em Participação Green
Capital I, managed by Green Capital Investimentos Ltda. The transaction value is
R$ 82 million, subject to adjustments on the closing date.
Under the terms of
the SPA, closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent,
notably the segregation of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road
transportation operations, with the transfer of the respective assets,
contracts, licenses and employees from Ultracargo to its subsidiaries AGT –
Armazéns Gerais e Transporte Ltda. (“AGT”) and Petrolog Serviços e Armazéns
Gerais Ltda. (“Petrolog”). On the closing date, which is expected to occur in
mid-2010, shares of AGT and Petrolog will be transferred to
Aqces.
This transaction
allows Ultracargo to focus exclusively on its liquid bulk storage business,
segment in which it has a leadership position and which already represented
approximately 85% of the results after the recent acquisitions of União
Terminais and Puma and investments in capacity expansions at the Aratu, Santos
and Suape terminals.
