SÃO PAULO, Brazil, April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 

ULTRAPAR INTERNATIONAL S.A.
(Incorporated in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg)

Ultrapar International S.A ("Ultrapar") hereby announces that it has increased the tender offer consideration for its tender offer to purchase for cash up to U.S.$435,674,000 (the "Maximum Acceptance Amount") of its outstanding 5.250% Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes," and such offer, the "2029 Notes Tender Offer").

The new total consideration for the 2029 Notes will be U.S.$1,015.00 per U.S.$1,000 in principal amount of 2029 Notes (the "New Total Consideration"), which includes an early tender payment (the "Early Tender Payment") of U.S.$30.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Notes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase the 2029 Notes dated April 7, 2022 (the "Offer to Purchase").

In addition, holders validly tendering their 2029 Notes after the New Early Tender Date (as defined below) and prior to or on the New Expiration Date (as defined below), will now be eligible to receive U.S.$985.00 per U.S.$1,000 in principal amount of 2029 Notes (the "New Tender Offer Consideration"), equal to the New Total Consideration less the Early Tender Payment, also subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.

In connection with the amended pricing terms for the 2029 Notes Tender Offer, Ultrapar also hereby announces a new early tender deadline for the 2029 Notes Tender Offer. To receive the New Total Consideration, holders must validly tender and not validly withdraw their 2029 Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 25, 2022 (as such date may be extended, subject to applicable law, in Ultrapar's sole discretion, the "New Early Tender Date").  Ultrapar now expects the Early Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) to occur on April 27, 2022.

In addition, Ultrapar hereby announces a new expiration deadline for the 2029 Notes Tender Offer, which will be 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 6, 2022 (as such date may be extended, subject to applicable law, in Ultrapar's sole discretion, the "New Expiration Date"). As a result, Ultrapar now expects the Final Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) to occur on May 10, 2022.

The following table sets forth the amended pricing terms of the 2029 Notes Tender Offer:

(1)  Ultrapar's obligation to accept 2029 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the 2029 Notes Tender Offer is subject to the proration provisions described herein and in the Offer to Purchase. Ultrapar reserves the right to increase the Maximum Acceptance Amount in its sole discretion (subject to applicable law and as provided in the Offer to Purchase).

(2)  Per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes tendered and accepted for purchase.

(3)  Excludes accrued interest, which will be paid in addition to the New Tender Offer Consideration or the New Total Consideration, if and as applicable.

Holders who tender their 2029 Notes may withdraw such 2029 Notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 25, 2022 (as such date may be extended, subject to applicable law, in Ultrapar's sole discretion, the "Withdrawal Deadline"), but not thereafter except as required by law, by following the procedures described in the Offer to Purchase.

If, on the Early Settlement Date or Final Settlement Date, as applicable, only a portion of outstanding 2029 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline) may be accepted for purchase, the aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes accepted for purchase will be prorated based upon the aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes that have been validly tendered and not yet accepted for purchase in the 2029 Notes Tender Offer such that the Maximum Acceptance Amount will not be exceeded.

If the aggregate amount of 2029 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the New Early Tender Date exceeds the Maximum Acceptance Amount, holders who validly tender 2029 Notes after the New Early Tender Date will not have any such 2029 Notes accepted for payment, unless waived or modified in Ultrapar's sole discretion (subject to applicable law and as provided in the Offer to Purchase).

Ultrapar expressly reserves the right, but is not obligated, to increase or decrease the Maximum Acceptance Amount in its sole discretion without extending the Withdrawal Deadline or otherwise reinstating withdrawal rights of holders, subject to applicable law.

The terms and conditions of the 2029 Notes Tender Offer are described in the Offer to Purchase and remain unchanged except as amended hereby.

Payment of Accrued Interest

Ultrapar will pay accrued and unpaid interest on 2029 Notes validly tendered and accepted in the 2029 Notes Tender Offer from and including the last interest payment date for such 2029 Notes up to, but not including, (i) in the case of any 2029 Notes tendered on or before the New Early Tender Date, the Early Settlement Date and (ii) in the case of any 2029 Notes tendered after the New Early Tender Date, the Final Settlement Date.

2026 Notes Tender Offer

Simultaneously with the commencement of the 2029 Notes Tender Offer, Ultrapar commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash (the "2026 Notes Tender Offer," and together with the 2029 Notes Tender Offer, the "Tender Offers") any and all of its outstanding 5.250% notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes" and together with the 2029 Notes, the "Notes") upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase with respect to the 2026 Notes, dated April 7, 2022 (the "2026 Notes Offer to Purchase") and notice of guaranteed delivery dated as of the same date. The 2026 Notes Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 13, 2022.

At the conclusion of the 2026 Notes Tender Offer, Ultrapar purchased U.S.$114,329,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. Payment for the 2026 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase occurred on April 14, 2022, with a subsequent settlement for the 2026 Notes tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the 2026 Notes Offer to Purchase on April 18, 2022, for a total cash payment of approximately U.S.$117.5 million.

The Tender Offers together were subject to a maximum aggregate tender amount of U.S.$550,003,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes (the "Maximum Aggregate Tender Amount"). The Maximum Acceptance Amount for the 2029 Notes Tender corresponds to the Maximum Aggregate Tender Amount minus the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes tendered and accepted for purchase in the 2026 Notes Tender Offer.
