APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON 17/09/2025 2 CORPORATE Risk Management POLICY Risks are categorized according to their origin (internal or external) and nature, including emerging and short, medium and long-term topics. • Strategic Risks: associated with factors that could prevent or affect the achievement of objectives and goals, including, but not limited to, political influence and regulatory changes, competition performance, new market players, substitute products and services, changes in consumer behavior, customer relationships, sustainability (including socio-environmental impact, climate change and energy transition), investment decisions and talent attraction, retention and succession. • Operational Risks: associated with the daily operational activities of each business, covering, for example, safety, environmental and quality procedures, supplies, dependence on suppliers, logistics and infrastructure. • Financial Risks: associated with the exposure of financial transactions, including leverage and debt levels, cash flow, accounting aspects and preparation of financial statements, as well as credit, liquidity and market risks. • Integrity Risks: associated with non-compliance with laws and regulations, the Code of Ethics and Corporate Policies, legal issues, management of third parties or misconduct by employees, partners, shareholders, business partners, external representatives, suppliers and service providers. This Corporate Risk Management Policy (“Policy”) establishes the definitions, steps and responsibilities to be observed in the risk management process of Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Ultrapar”) and its subsidiaries (jointly with Ultrapar, “Ultra Group”). In businesses that are not directly or indirectly controlled by Ultrapar, Ultrapar will make its best efforts to ensure that the guidelines of this Policy are applied, and any representatives appointed by Ultrapar should periodically report the main risks.

APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON 17/09/2025 3 CORPORATE Risk Management POLICY The risk management process involves five steps, considering each business and Ultrapar individually: 3. STEPS OF THE RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS • Technological Risks: associated with information security, availability of systems and infrastructure, as well as data management and use of new technologies. To ensure a common assessment and comparison standard across businesses, the categories of risks are broken down into themes of risks, enabling connection and completeness of the assessed matters. The themes of risks, in turn, consolidate the risks and risk factors identified in the risk management process. It aims to understand the internal and external context in which the business operates, in addition to identifying priority topics and trends of change in risk exposure. Carried out collaboratively and continuously with risk owners, it aims to identify and describe the risks and risk factors that may impact the business. 3.1 CONTEXTUALIZATION 3.2 IDENTIFICATION 3.3 ASSESSMENT 3.4 TREATMENT 3.5 MONITORING AND REPORTING Every identified risk should be assessed based on its level of impact and vulnerability and reviewed annually or when there are significant changes in the internal and/or external environment. • Impact: damage caused in the event of risk materialization, considering qualitative and quantitative aspects, including, but not limited to, financial, life, socio-environmental, image and legal. • Vulnerability: degree of preparation and/or prevention to avoid risk materialization, considering, for example, the history of similar events, the materialization horizon and the effectiveness of the control environment. The risks are assessed at four levels of criticality (low, medium, high and very high) and positioned in a risk matrix. The assessment aims to assist in prioritizing and defining appropriate treatment actions for the level of risk exposure. After the risk assessment, the need for actions to treat the exposure is analyzed. These measures aim to eliminate, mitigate and/or transfer the risk, in whole or in part. The action plans should describe activities, responsible parties and deadlines for completion to enable monitoring. Monitoring should track the evolution of the risk, including indicators, verifying the effectiveness of treatment actions and the impact of internal and external changes on the assessment. Risks and action plans should be reported to business leadership, including the CEO.
