MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT
São Paulo, April 6, 2015 – As a complement to the Market Announcement released on April 2, 2015, regarding the fire accident in part of Ultracargo’s terminal in Santos (in the state of São Paulo), Ultrapar Participações S.A. ("Ultrapar") hereby informs that, since the beginning of the event, specialized teams of the State Fire Department of São Paulo and fire brigades remain on the firefight, primarily cooling other surrounding tanks until the complete burn of the fuel present in the affected tanks. The fire reduced after the arrival of new equipment and materials since Saturday night, assigned by partner companies, including Petrobras, and participants of the Mutual Aid Plan ("MAP"). This morning, the flames remained in two of the six affected tanks.
Ultracargo has a total of 175 tanks at the terminal in Santos. The affected tanks have capacity of 5 thousand cubic meters and 6 thousand cubic meters, totaling 34 thousand cubic meters capacity, equivalent to 4% of Ultracargo’s total installed capacity. In 2014, Ultracargo accounted for 7% of assets, 5% of operating income and 0.05% of Ultrapar’s net revenue.
As reported in the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, on Note 23 f, Ultrapar contracts insurance policies to cover various risks to which it is exposed.
Together with professionals from the Fire Department, authorities, partner companies and participants of the MAP, as well as the local communities, Ultracargo is undertaking all necessary efforts to address the event and minimize its impacts, and expresses its gratitude to the hard work of everyone involved.
