<P STYLE="font: 11pt/105% Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Ecopetrol S.A. (BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC, the
&ldquo;Company&rdquo; or &ldquo;Ecopetrol&rdquo;) reports that, on June 3, 2025, the Colombian Tax and Customs Authority (&ldquo;DIAN&rdquo;)
notified Ecopetrol of Special Customs Requirement No. 525, in accordance with its interpretation of the law and pursuant to the applicable
customs procedures. In this notice, DIAN announced its intention to issue an official adjustment assessment related to the Value Added
Tax (VAT) on the import of diesel fuel (ACPM), and a penalty. The total amount of the proposed adjustment and penalty is COP 1.2 trillion,
plus estimated interest of COP 0.5 trillion as of the date of the notice. This adjustment and penalty cover imports from 2022 to 2024.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Ecopetrol submitted its response to the notice on July
1, 2025, formally opposing the proposed tax adjustment and the penalty. DIAN&rsquo;s notice and Ecopetrol&rsquo;s response showed the
difference in legal interpretations between DIAN and the Company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Considering that DIAN has decided to apply its regulatory
interpretation, Ecopetrol has been making VAT payments on the import of diesel and gasoline at the 19% rate since January 2025. It is
important to note that these payments do not affect Ecopetrol&rsquo;s right to challenge DIAN&rsquo;s interpretation at the appropriate
time and before the relevant authorities.</P>

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
