5.2. short-term incentives (STI)
The purpose of the Short-Term Incentive is to encourage the achievement of the Company’s short-term results and the sustainable growth of the businesses and is directly linked to its financial and operational performance. The goals of the statutory executive officers are linked to the financial (financial goals) and operational (individual goals) performance of the Company.
Financial goals, which must have a preponderant weighting, are based on the amounts for economic and financial results established in the Strategic Plan and Annual Budget approved by the Board of Directors , so that the growth shown is in line with established minimum returns, measured according to parameters such as EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow, among others .
The individual goals must be of the “SMART” (Specific, Measurable, Agreed upon, Relevant, Time-bound) type and consistent with the strategies and objectives established in the Strategic Plan and Annual Budget approved by the Board of Directors.
All executives of the Company must have a minimum weight of 1/3 of their individual goals (or 10% of the total) related to ESG objectives. To calculate the STI, it will be used the statutory executive officer’s base salary for the month of December, except in case of promotion, when the calculation must be pro rata .

5.3.1. concepts and definitions
Approved by the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 19, 2023 , the Long-Term Incentive Plan’s objective is to:

b) Strengthen the ability to effectively attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executives.
The Policy provides for the annual approval of an Incentive Program based on restricted and performance shares, 50% each, on target. All statutory executive officers of Ultrapar are eligible to the LTI Plan.
