<P STYLE="font: 8pt/115% Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><I>Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia
and one of the main integrated energy companies in the American continent with more than 18,000 employees. In Colombia, it is responsible
for more than 60% of the hydrocarbon production of most transportation, logistics, and hydrocarbon refining systems, and it holds leading
positions in the petrochemicals and gas distribution segments. With the acquisition of 51.4% of ISA&#8217;s shares, the company participates
in energy transmission, the management of real-time systems (XM), and the Barranquilla - Cartagena coastal highway concession. At the
international level, Ecopetrol has a stake in strategic basins in the American continent, with Drilling and Exploration operations in
the United States (Permian basin and the Gulf of Mexico), Brazil, and Mexico, and, through ISA and its subsidiaries, Ecopetrol holds
leading positions in the power transmission business in Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, road concessions in Chile, and the telecommunications
sector. This press release contains business prospect statements, operating and financial result estimates, and statements related to
Ecopetrol's growth prospects. These are all projections and, as such, they are based solely on the expectations of the managers regarding
the future of the company and their continued access to capital to finance the company's business plan. The realization of said estimates
in the future depends on the behavior of market conditions, regulations, competition, and the performance of the Colombian economy and
the industry, among other factors, and are consequently subject to change without prior notice.</I></P>
