ULTRAPAR PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. Publicly Listed Company CNPJ nº 33.256.439/0001- 39 NIRE 35.300.109.724 Ultrapar’s credit rating review

São Paulo, February 26, 2016 – Ultrapar Participações S.A. (BM&FBOVESPA:UGPA3 / NYSE:UGP) hereby informs that, due to Brazil’s global scale credit rating downgrade by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) and Moody’s, Ultrapar’s ratings were downgraded to ‘BB+’ from ‘BBB’ (global) and to ‘brAA+’ from ‘brAAA’ (local) by S&P, and to ‘Ba1’ from ‘Baa2’ (global) by Moody’s.

Ultrapar’s credit rating, one notch above Brazil’s sovereign ratings on both global and local scale, reflects finance soundness and cash flow generation capacity of its businesses.
