a. Stella GD Intermediação de Geração Distribuída de Energia Ltda

On October 1, 2022, by means of subsidiary Ultragaz Comercial Ltda., the Company acquired all shares of Stella GD Intermediação de Geração Distribuída de Energia Ltda. (“Stella”). The transaction qualifies as a business combination as defined in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. This acquisition marks Ultragaz's entry into the electricity segment, in line with its strategy of expanding its offering of energy solutions to its customers, leveraging on its capillarity, commercial strength, the Ultragaz brand and is extensive base of industrial and residential customers.


Founded in 2019, Stella is a technology platform that connects renewable electric power generators and customers, in form of Distributed Generation. The company has a footprint in 12 States, has more than 11 thousand active customers and offered power of approximately 75 MWp (Megawatt peak).


The total amount paid for the company was R$ 63,000, with an initial payment of R$ 7,560. The remaining amount of the acquisition will be settled in 2027, subject to adjustments relating to Stella’s performance achievement conditions (“contingent consideration” or “earnout”).


The Company, based on applicable accounting standards, determined the statement of financial position as of the acquisition date, the fair value of assets and liabilities and, consequently, goodwill. The purchase price allocation (“PPA”) was completed in 2023.


The Company, supported by an independent appraisal firm, estimated the provisional amounts for the purchase price allocation and determined the final goodwill in the amount of R$ 103,051, based on the amount already paid on the transaction date, and the estimated fair value relating to the future payment of earnout.


The earnout is determined based on contractual goals set for revenue and the accounting net cash flow to be achieved in the year ending December 31, 2026. The Company estimated the fair value of this achievement based on the discounted cash flow method and projections of earnings as estimated by Management.
