Exhibit I - Draft Public Offer Statement

5.4.           Ultrapar Corporate Restructuring.  Following conclusion of the Tag Along POAs, Ultrapar shall undertake a corporate restructuring in order to (i) simplify the Ipiranga Group corporate structure, concentrating all of the shareholders in a single company listed on the stock market, allowing for a reduction in costs and increased liquidity and (ii) permit segregation and transfer of the Petrochemical Assets, North Distribution Assets and South Distribution Assets (the “Corporate Restructuring”). Within this context, Ultrapar shall incorporate the shares issued by RPI, DPPI and CBPI (the “Share Exchange Offers”) pursuant to the terms of article 252 of Brazilian Corporate Law. As a result of the Share Incorporations, RPI, DPPI and CBPI shall become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Ultrapar. Shareholders holding preferred and any common shares of RPI, DPPI and CBPI shall receive preferred shares of Ultrapar.

5.5.           Segregation of Assets. Upon conclusion of the Share Exchange Offers, Ultrapar shall (i) reduce RPI's and CBPI’s capital stock in order to transfer the Petrochemical Assets directly to Ultrapar, for future delivery to Braskem and Petrobras, pursuant to the commission agency, and (ii) spin-off CBPI to transfer the North Distribution Assets to a company controlled by Petrobras.

5.6.           CADE. The transaction has been submitted to the Brazilian Anti-trust Authorities (CADE – Administrative Board for Economic Defense) , Secretary for Economic Rights (SDE) and the Economic Oversight Office (SEAE). CADE has issued a writ of prevention  with a series of provisions on management of the assets acquired. The provisions related to the Petrochemical Assets were effectively reviewed on April 25, 2007, in a decision ratified by the CADE Full Session, at which time Braskem entered into an Agreement to Preserve Reversibility of the Transaction (the “APRO”). Such alterations being made, CADE accepted Petrobras’ retention of a minority stake in Copesul after the acquisition. Additionally, on May 16, 2007, another APRO was entered into for the fuel distribution sector. This APRO establishes corporate governance rules encompassing CBPI, in order to maintain distribution sector competition and transaction reversibility relating to the Petrobras Assets.  Please note that these APROs do not affect the conclusion of the Offer.

6.             OFFER PRICE CALCULATION AND VALUATION REPORT

6.1.           Offer Price Calculation.

6.1.1                 The price of each of the common shares issued by DPPI and CBPI indicated in the Justified Statement of the Purchase Price Calculation Format and in the Purchase and Sale Agreement was defined following a negotiation by independent and unrelated parties, based on their evaluations and their own convictions of the market value of each of the shares negotiated.  Specifically, the price of the controlling CBPI common shares was established, as mutually agreed by the independent and unrelated parties, by applying a percentage equivalent to 40% of the stake held in CBPI to the total value of DPPI, as expressly established in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

9.           SUPERVENING LIABILITY

9.1.           Additional Liability. The Offerer hereby agrees to pay the owners of the Shares accepting the Offer any additional amount, if any, between: (i) the price paid to the shareholders for the sale of their Shares, restated by the TR (based on 365 days per year) on a pro-rated basis from the Auction Date up to the date on which payment of such amounts is due (restated according to the alterations in the number of shares resulting from splits, groupings or conversions) and (ii) the Share price that would be due, or may be due, in the event of the following circumstances within a period of one (01) year from the Auction Date, (a) a fact that requires or shall require a mandatory public offering to acquire the Shares or (b) a corporate event that would entitle Shareholders accepting the Offer to withdraw from the company upon payment of a price per share, if they still were CBPI shareholders on the date of such a corporate event, and disagreed with the deliberation approving the implementation of any corporate event that would allow said right to be enforced.

9.1.1.                      CBPI Share Exchange Offer. According to the relevant notice disclosed on March 19, 2007, the Offerer intends to incorporate CBPI shares once the Offer has been concluded.

Shareholders accepting this Offer shall be entitled to receive the difference, if any, between the Offer Price (restated as set forth in item 1.5) and the share price resulting from exercising the right to withdraw from the company. Thus, the Offerer does not foresee paragraph 1, article 10 of CVM Instruction 361/02 being applicable, since the price per share resulting from exercising of the right to withdraw from the company has not yet been disclosed.

(São Paulo local time) on the Auction Date, the brokers and representatives of the shareholders that wish to sell Shares in the Offer must register the Shares they hold, which will be sold during the Auction on the MEGABOLSA under the ticker symbols “PTIP3L”.  Offer, acceptance and the subsequent firm offer to sell the Shares will be irrevocable and irreversible as of the commencement of the Auction, to the extent that an offer and acceptance creates an obligation on the part of the shareholder to dispose of his or her Shares and provided that acceptance was duly and validly given in accordance with the Public Offer Notice.
 
Any third party is entitled to make a competing offer to acquire all or part of the Shares, subject however, to the following: (i) competing offers must be registered with the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (the “CVM”), pursuant to CVM instruction 361/02 and (ii) the value of the first competing offer must be at least 5% greater than the last price offered by Ultrapar.  All brokerage costs and commissions relating to the disposal of the Shares shall be borne by the respective selling shareholder.

Executive summary
Section 1
 
Scope of Deutsche Bank’s analysis
 

 
The objective of this Valuation Report is to present economic valuations of both Ultrapar and Ipiranga Group in accordance with the criteria defined as mandatory by the CVM
 
Under the CVM Rule #361/02, Deutsche Bank has conducted an analysis using the following methodologies and assumptions:

 
n
Economic value based on discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis for the main operating companies and comparable multiples for some smaller operating subsidiaries
 
Based on publicly available information and discussions with management of Ultrapar and Ipiranga
 
 
n
Market value based on average share prices weighted by traded volume
 
Average share price weighted by traded volume during the last twelve months ended March 16, 2007 (last trading day pre-announcement)
 
 
n
Book value of the shares
 
Based on Ultrapar and Ipiranga’s audited financial statements as of December 31,2006

Among the different valuation methodologies presented in this Valuation Report, Deutsche Bank believes that economic value based on DCF and comparable multiples is the most applicable methodology for valuing Ultrapar and Ipiranga

Executive summary
Section 1
 
Conducting the economic valuation

The three main economic valuation methodologies used were: Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”), comparable public companies’ multiples and comparable precedent transaction multiples
 
   
Discounted Cash Flow
- DCF Analysis
 
Comparable Public
Company Analysis
 
Comparable Precedent
Transaction Analysis
Methodology
 
 
 
  • Un-levered projections of cash flow to the firm
  • Terminal value calculation based on perpetuity growth (Gordon’s growth model) or exit multiple
  • Cash flow and terminal value discounted by a discount rate that corresponds to the Company’s Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”)
 
 
 
  • Identification of listed companies that are comparable to the business being assessed
  • Calculation of value (TEV or equity) as a multiple of value drivers (sales, Ebitda, earnings, etc.)
  • Multiples of value are applied to the corresponding value driver of the Company being assessed
 
 
 
  • Identification of transactions involving companies with comparable activities
  • Calculation of the implied multiples of value in those transactions
  • Multiples of value are applied to the corresponding value driver of the Company being assessed
Potential
advantages
 
 
 
 
  • Estimates the intrinsic value of the Company
  • Valuation takes into consideration the risk-return profile of the investment, and can be adjusted for the country risk
  • Takes into consideration the company’s capital structure
  • More flexibility to incorporate expected changes in the business profile such as change in product mix, capacity expansion, etc.
 
 
  • In efficient markets, it properly reflects the market consensus of value of a given industry
  • Reflects historical performance and industry trends
 
 
  • Reflects the implied value of transactions in a given industry
 
Potential
disadvantages
 
 
  • Subject to different view of the Company’s future generation of cash and risk
  • Uncertainties of longer forecasts
 
 
 
  • Difficulty to identify companies that are comparable to the asset being assessed
  • Does not reflect differences among the companies such as capital structure, profitability, management, etc
  • Results can be affected by adverse situations not linked to valuation (macroeconomic, political, etc.)
 
 
 
 
  • Difficulty to identify companies/ transactions that are comparable
  • Characteristics of the transaction might affect valuation such as competitiveness of the sale process, estimated synergies of the potential buyer, defensive play, etc
  • It does not reflect the differences among the companies’ potential returns
  • Limited public information available
Considerations
 
  • Maximum flexibility to incorporate in the valuation several value drivers such as discount rate (driven by capital structure, country risk, cost of equity), perpetuity growth and expected performance (as opposed to historical performance)
 
 
 
  • Limited sample in the local market requires evaluator to expand to different markets (normally with different characteristics)
  • Does not incorporate specific nature of the company being assessed
  • Based on historical performance, it incorporates market trend
 
 
 
  • Limited sample
Notes: (1) TEV - Total Enterprise Value = Equity plus Net debt.

Executive summary
Section 1
 
Additional considerations

n
The date of this Report is April 4, 2007
 
n
This Report may be solely used in the context of the request made by Ultrapar to Deutsche Bank
 
n
Research reports prepared by different areas of Deutsche Bank may utilize different assumptions with respect to the future performance of Ultrapar and Ipiranga than those used in the Valuation Report, and thus potentially present significantly different conclusions with respect to valuation. Those different areas at Deutsche Bank are independent to the Corporate Finance and Mergers and Acquisitions department that was responsible for the elaboration of this Report. Those different areas have their own sources of information and a different assessment about what they make available to the public in the form of publications, and there is no communication between the professionals involved in the elaboration of this report and the professionals of those different areas. Deutsche Bank has strict internal policies regarding the segregation of public and private areas at the bank and monitoring the information flow between them in order to guarantee that both areas operate independently
 
n
In compliance with the resolution CVM #361/02, Deutsche Bank states that as of April 4, 2007:
 
 
There is no commercial or credit relationship that could impact this Report
 
 
There is no conflict of interest that compromises the independence necessary to prepare this Report
 
 
Deutsche Bank and its affiliates held 8,527 non-voting shares of Braskem and 171,000 ADRs of Braskem; 62,175 voting shares of Petrobras, and 500,540 ADRs of Petrobras; Deutsche Bank and its affiliates did not hold, directly or indirectly, any shares of CBPI, DBPI and RIPI, nor did they hold shares or ADRs of Ultrapar, Petrobras or Braskem other than the shares/ADRs mentioned above
 
 
Deutsche Bank is engaged in sales and trading transactions with Petrobras and Braskem, which includes, but is not limited to, derivatives
 
 
In May 2006, Deutsche Bank received R$2,673,760.50 net of taxes from Petrobras for the advisory and structuring services rendered in connection with the acquisition of ABB's stake in Termobahia. Deutsche Bank did not receive any other fees from Ultrapar, Braskem or Petrobras in connection with financial advisory, consulting or auditing services, or any other investment banking services over the past 12 months
 
 
Deutsche Bank will receive US$3,000,000 net of taxes as a fee for the delivery of this Report

Valuation considerations

The companies were valued on a stand-alone basis
 
The valuation of each asset excludes any potential synergies that could be achieved as a result of the transaction
 

DCF
 n  Basic assumptions
     10-year projections
   –  Base date of DCF valuation is December 31, 2006
   –  Exchange rate of 2.1385 R$/US$ as of 12/31/2006
   –  Models projected in nominal Brazilian Reais; cash flows were converted to US Dollars based on average exchange rate for the year
   –  WACC in nominal US Dollars
   –  To discount the annual cash flow to the present value, it considers that cash flow is generated in the middle of the year (in June)1
 n  Perpetuity
   –  Calculated based on Gordon’s growth formula
   –  Adjustments to capex/ depreciation, tax rates, net operating working capital
   –  Petrochemical companies: perpetuity cash flow adjusted for mid-cycle
 n  Equity value
   –  TEV minus net debt (as defined in the glossary)

3IBGE had recently published the parameters of a new methodology for the calculation of Brazilian GDP, however at the time of publication of the Report, projections based on the new methodology were not available. We therefore consider it most appropriate to use the old methodology, based on which projections were available.

Assumptions – CBPI distribution
Selected income statement drivers
 
Gas and alcohol volumes in the Brazilian market were forecasted based on a regression on number of cars in Brazil as a function of GDP per capita, and consumption per car
 
Diesel volumes in the Brazilian market were projected as a result of a regression on diesel volumes in Brazil on GDP growth
 
Assumes the weighted average contribution margin of gasoline and ethanol is constant in
real Reais
 
 
5 CBPI has the objective of increasing its market share, which is deemed feasible by its management. This assumption was verified in a confirmatory due diligence session, and corroborated by the fact that CBPI gained 2 (two) percentage points of market share between 2001 and 2005, according to the National Petroleum Agency, ANP. However, the market consultant indicated that in order to gain 2 (two) percentage points market share in the coming years, it would demand stronger capex and higher marketing expenses to support this growth. It is expected that CBPI’s market share will stabilize at 18.9% after 2012, when CBPI sales will grow at the market pace, around 8% per year. A scenario in which sales would grow above this pace and therefore resulting in further market share increase would demand significant investments and is inconsistent with the expected increasing competition in the long term, considering a market dominated by 5 main players (which now control about 70% of the market) and numerous other players

Diesel volumes in the Brazilian market were projected as a result of a regression on diesel volumes in Brazil on GDP growth 
 
 
Given its leadership in the region, DPPI presents little market share fluctuation
 
DPPI’s market share remains approximately constant because DPPI is a leader in the region in which it operates – Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina – with an already high 35% (thirty-five percent) market share. Nationally, DPPI reduced its market share from 2.9% in 2001 to 2.6% in 2005 according to the National Petroleum Agency – ANP. As per the recommendation of the market consultant, which was validated on confirmatory due diligence session with DPPI’s management, DPPI would tend to maintain its market share given DPPI’s dominant position in the region, or even lose some market participation to competition in line with the company’s recent performance.

Note:    All valuation based on the median of the sample of multiples of comparable companies applied to metrics in US dollars, unless otherwise noted
Valuation was estimated based on EBITDA multiples given that EBITDA is a proxy for cash flow generation. The use of EBITDA as a value driver has the advantage of taking into consideration profitability combined with mitigating the impact of financial leverage
(1) 8.8x=US$265 million/US$ 30 million; equivalent to TEV of DPPI (ex-Isa Sul) in US dollars divided by EBITDA of DPPI (ex- Isa Sul) in 2006 in US dollars

Comparable multiples
Appendix II
   

 
Because there is no company that is directly comparable to EMCA, we judge that the multiples based on a sample of companies that included commodity and specialty chemical companies, consistent with the business model of EMCA, its margins, and its expected growth, would be an adequate parameter for valuation

Brazilian fuel distribution industry
 
Ipiranga and Petrobras (BR) are the leading players in the Brazilian fuel distribution market

Changes in the regulatory framework benefited the independent (no brand) players
 
Summary
 
n  
According to ANP, total consumption of fuel, including diesel, gasoline, and alcohol reached 67 million m3 in 2006
 
–       
Consumption of fuel has reached an average annual growth rate of 1.4% in the last 5 years (0.9% growth for diesel, 1.2% for gasoline, and 6.7% for alcohol)
 
n  
Consumption of the three main fuel products (gasoline, alcohol, and diesel) grows as the number of cars grows. Ethanol-fueled vehicles are expected to post the highest growth rate, due to the large number of flexible fuel (flex-fuel) cars entering the market
 
n  
The fuel distribution industry in Brazil has significant growth potential based on the expected growth of the Brazilian economy, and the relatively high number of inhabitants per car observed in Brazil compared to other countries
 
n  
Foreign players have been relatively conservative in regards to their expansion plans, while some have already exited the country. In contrast, Ipiranga and BR are committed to increase their market share and expand their national footprint

n  
The Brazilian petrochemical industry is organized into first, second, and third generation producers based on the stage of raw material processing
–     
1st generation producers convert naphtha into basic petrochemicals
–     
2nd generation producers process basic petrochemicals into intermediate products
–     
3rd generation producers transform intermediate products into final products
n  
The Brazilian petrochemical industry is the largest in Latin America, but suffers from the lack of integration between businesses and the dependence on imports of raw materials such as naphtha
n  
Petrobras and its subsidiaries are attempting to diminish Brazilian dependence on petrochemical imports through investment projects involving petroleum, gas, and naphtha
n  
Brazil’s major petrochemical production centers are located in Camaçari, Triunfo, and Cubatão. Two large investment projects are located in Rio de Janeiro (Comperi) and in Pernambuco (Abreu e Lima), with operations expected to begin in 2012
n  
According to BMI, the main companies operating in Brazil include Braskem, Copesul, Petroquímica União, Rio Polímeros, Ultrapar, Politeno, and Dow Química

Brazilian LPG distribution industry
 
 
 
Summary
 
n  
In 2006, Brazilian LPG market sales totaled 6.5 million tons. 87% was produced in Brazil and the balance was imported
 
n  
Primary use of LPG:
 
–  
Bottled: Cooking (historically around 70% of sales)
 
–  
Bulk: Cooking and heating in shopping malls, hotels, residences, hospitals, and industrial centers
 
n  
Petrobras is responsible for all national production of LPG (87% of national consumption). LPG is transported from Petrobras storage facilities via pipelines and trucks to the LPG distributors, who then sell it in the retail market
 
n  
The market for LPG is considered mature with moderate growth potential, dependent on economic growth (which will lead consumers to substitute firewood for LPG)
 
n  
Market competition is largely based on brand positioning, customer service, and the efficiency of logistics and distribution

Corporate tax rate (IR+CS)

 
When applicable, as in the cases of Copesul, CBPI, and DPPI, the projections were based on the average effective corporate tax rate over the past 3 years as shown in the tables that follow. This assumption was validated by the management of the companies in confirmatory due diligence performed by Deutsche Bank
 
For IPQ, in addition to the company’s historical data, the projections were based on our assessment for companies in this sector. An effective tax rate of 25% for the coming years was considered adequate by the management of IPQ in confirmatory due diligence

For Ultrapar, the projections were based on a greater effective tax rate (22%) than the average of the last 3 years (16%). Such assumption is based on Ultrapar’s guidance which reflects a conservative view of expected fiscal incentives for projects located in areas under the influence of ADENE (previously SUDENE)

Ultrapar
Our analysis uses a sub-optimal capital structure of 35% debt, 65% equity, based on the capital structure observed in a sample of companies* that include those with a sub-optimal capital structure, in line with the recent practice by Ultrapar of maintaining low financial leverage
 
 

 
Notes:
(*) For example: petrochemical companies (Braskem, Suzano Petroquimico, Petroquimica União) and gas distributors (Amerigas Partners LP, Ferrellgas Partners LP, Buckeye Partners LP, Enbridge Energy Partners LP, Enterprise Product Partners LP, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP, Magellan Midstream Partners LP, Plains All American Pipeline LP, Crosstex Energy LP, Copano Energy LLC)
 
 
n  
Fuel distribution: considering a capital structure based on the same sample used for the beta, it would result in a 12.7% WACC for CBPI and 12.7% WACC for DPPI. We considered more appropriate to use a more refined sample excluding the companies Casey’s and Alimentation Couche, which have sub-optimal capital structures (less than 20% debt), that resulted in a 12.2% WACC for CBPI and 12.3% WACC for DPPI
 
n  
Petrochemical: considering a capital structure based on the same sample used for the beta, it would result in a 11.7% WACC for Copesul and a 12.0% WACC for IPQ. We considered more appropriate to use a more refined sample excluding the companies Copesul, BASF, and Nova Chemicals, which have sub-optimal capital structures (below 20% debt and above 70% debt), that resulted in a 11.2% WACC for Copesul and 11.8% WACC for IPQ
 
n  
For Ultrapar, we observed the debt to capital ratio of other companies with the same underlying operations as Ultrapar8, such as for example: petrochemical companies (Braskem, Suzano Petroquimica, Petroquimica União) and LPG distributors (Amerigas Partners LP, Ferrellgas Partners LP, Buckeye Partners LP, Enbridge Energy Partners LP, Enterprise Product Partners LP, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP, Magellan Midstream Partners LP, Plains All American Pipeline LP, Crosstex Energy Inc., Crosstex Energy LP, Copano Energy LLC). We have not excluded companies whose capital structure were sub-optimal in line with Ultrapar’s management preference for a low financial leverage
 
8 For example, the average of the betas of the referenced companies is 0.53, below the beta of 0.64 implicit for Ultrapar under the utilized assumptions (pg. 24). We consider the observed beta for Ultrapar to be
more appropriate than the average of the comparable companies within similar operations. The betas for each company are: Braskem (0.76), Suzano Petroquimica (0.36), Petroquimica União (0.42), Amerigas Partners LP (0.24), Ferrellgas Partners LP (0.11), Buckeye Partners LP (0.42), Enbridge Energy Partners LP (0.32), Enterprise Product Partners LP (0.54), Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP (0.34), Magellan idstream Partners LP (0.51), Plains All American Pipeline (0.47), Crosstex Energy Inc. (0.69), Crosstex Energy LP (0.42), Copano Energy LLC (0.44). (source: Bloomberg)

Brazilian fuel market

The volume of fuel (alcohol and gasoline only) was calculated by multiplying the number of cars in Brazil (based in the regression of number of cars versus the GDP per capita) by the estimated average consumption of fuel for each type of vehicle

 
The average fuel consumption was estimated to be approximately 1.23 m3/year for gasoline-based vehicles, and approximately 1.75m3/year for vehicles that consume alcohol, based on the different energy content of alcohol and gasoline

The Discounted Cash Flow depicted on page 40 of this Report is in US dollar in contrast to the chart on page 44 that is in Brazilian Reais
 
In general, all investments in the distribution network are equally shared between CBPI and the dealer (owner of the point of sale, or the “Client”). CBPI is responsible for 50% (fifty percent) of all capital expenditures, which are capitalized on the company’s balance sheet. The other 50% (fifty percent) of expenditures are the Clients’ responsibilities who pay for it through a financing line from CBPI, which is amortized over 3 years
 
CBPI’s cash outflow depicted in the Discounted Cash Flow is, therefore, 100% (one hundred percent) of the annual investments in the distribution network in each year (item “a” above) minus the Client’s repayments of financing relative to previous years investments (item “b” above)

(2) Repayment of principal included in other operating income (included in EBIT)
 
The Discounted Cash Flow depicted on page 46 of this Report is in US dollar in contrast to the chart on page 49 that is in Brazilian Reais
 
In general, all investments in the distribution network are equally shared between CBPI and the dealer (owner of the point of sale, or the “Client”). CBPI is responsible for 50% (fifty percent) of all capital expenditures, which are capitalized on the company’s balance sheet. The other 50% (fifty percent) of expenditures are the Clients’ responsibilities who pay for it through a financing line from CBPI, which is amortized over 3 years
 
CBPI’s cash outflow depicted in the Discounted Cash Flow is, therefore, 100% (one hundred percent) of the annual investments in the distribution network in each year (item “a” above) minus the Client’s repayments of financing relative to previous years investments (item “b” above)

Description of capital expenditure – CBPI
 
 
   
Comments
 
NOPLAT growth versus Reinvestment rate
The capex in perpetuity
adds value to CBPI as
the ROC is higher than
the WACC
 
Investments in perpetuity add value to CBPI
–  In perpetuity, the normalized free cash flow to the Firm is 11.5% higher than the cash flow in the last year of the projections despite capex being higher than depreciation
–  The reinvestment rate in perpetuity is 45% lower than the average reinvestment rate over the projection period
–  The Return on Capital (“ROC”) in perpetuity is 29.6%, therefore higher than the cost of capital
–  ROC = growth rate divided by the reinvestment rate
 
CBPI’s free cash flow in perpetuity has been normalized9 to serve as base for the calculation of CBPI’s terminal value because the company in the end of the projections is not considered mature yet
–  During the projections, NOPLAT growth fluctuates reflecting the company is not mature yet. Accordingly, the reinvestment rate also fluctuates
–  Assumes an annual 3% growth in volumes for CBPI to maintain its market share
–  Capex was estimated based on the expected number of gas stations required to sell the estimated volume of fuels
–  opening of 164 new gas stations to sell the extra fuel being distributed
–  renovating about 850 stations (equal to 20% of the base in the last year of the projections)
–  Repayment of client financing is sufficient to finance clients’ future capex
 
 
 
n  In perpetuity, capex is  greater than depreciation
  In this case, the growth in perpetuity requires substantial investments
  Depreciation is not adjusted for inflation as the investments are
  The projection is not sufficiently long to reach the expected maturity of the market in the terminal year
 
n  There are precedents in literature and in the Brazilian market
  Copeland stated that estimating cash flow in perpetuity should reflect expectations of the evolution of the business and the sector10
  This assumption is validated by Damodaran11
  The Valuation Report for Ferronorte, Ferroban and ALL is based on Gordon’s Growth Model in the final year of projections, in which capex was expected to be greater than depreciation
 
n  Part of CBPI’s investments is not CBPI’s capex (and does not incorporate CBPI’s asset base), but it also incorporate Clients net financing (refer to pg. 89 and 94)
 
CBPI’s Reinvestment rate

(9) We believe it was inappropriate to perpetuate the last cash flow of the projections as CBPI has not yet reached its maturity at that point.

The continuing value parameters should reflect a coherent forecast for the long term economic situation of the company and its industry” from Valuation: measuring and managing the value of companies.

Description of capital expenditure – CBPI(continued)
 
 
Reinvestment rate versus Sales volume growth
 
Capex versus Depreciation
 
The hypothetical example above demonstrates that in years 10 and 11, when the company is in equilibrium and investing at the same rate as depreciation, there is a difference between capex and depreciation
The difference results from the monetary adjustment in assets value vis-a-vis the linear depreciation of assets (which is not adjusted for inflation)
Note: Values above are in nominal terms for illustrative purpose only
Note:   Sales volume growth should not be compared with the “g” in Gordon’s growth model which corresponds to the growth of the free cash flow to the firm

Considerations regarding AM/PM valuation
 
n  
As usual in valuation exercises, we have used the DCF method for the most relevant companies that were part of the Ipiranga Group
 
 
–  
 The other companies12 being evaluated were valued based on multiples because the preparation of projections would be subject to a high level of imprecision and wouldn’t improve the quality of the analysis
 
n  
We considered inappropriate to value AM/PM based on the DCF analysis
 
–  
The projected cash flow would be subject to significant imprecision that wouldn’t improve the conclusions from the analysis
 
–  
 A valuation based on DCF assumes the company is able to independently execute its business plan in order to maximize its value. This assumption is incorrect for AM/PM as its operations are directly dependent on CBPI’s strategy on fuels distribution13
 
–  
Forecasts for AM/PM would be based on arbitrary assumptions that would be difficult to justify, as for example, estimating the number of CBPI’s clients that would be interested in opening an AM/PM store in their gas stations14 and how this additional AM/PM store would impact the consolidated margins. The valuation based on CBD’s multiple avoided using such speculative assumptions about AM/PM business plan and therefore was the best estimate of AM/PM’s value
 
n  
The quality of the valuation based on multiples depends on the quality of the sample15 and not on its size. The quality of the valuation analysis based on multiples depends on the similarities of the companies in the sample and the company being assessed. We have analyzed the companies that could potentially be included in the sample and we have selected those that in our opinion would be a good benchmark for the valuation of AM/PM
 
n  
AM/PM’s valuation was based on CBD multiples because CBD is the Brazilian company that best reflects AM/PM’s business plan. CBD has been selected16 as the best benchmark of value given its business profile, the characteristics of the products being sold, its growth profile and margins
 
n  
Historical growth rates reflect Ipiranga’s strategy to launch AM/PM stores primarily on Ipiranga’s own gas stations and in the best locations available in the network. In the future, we expect growth rates to be lower given that AM/PM’s growth strategy and market positioning are limited to the gas station network, the desire and viability of opening AM/PM stores, and the Ipiranga Group and the clients agreeing on opening stores
 
(12) Specifically, AM/PM represents approximately 6% of CBPI’s value.
 
(13) AM/PM is not able to independently outline and execute a plan to maximize sales and improve profitability, but rather, AM/PM is part of CBPI which in turn is focused on the business of distributing fuel, and therefore increase the Ipiranga’s brand recognition. AM/PM does not operate in a captive market as AM/PM potential clients can acquire their products in other locations such as supermarkets (CBD), other gas stations (within the network or not), and other types of stores such as restaurants, coffee shops, etc.
 
(14) Expanding the AM/PM network is not an exclusive decision of the Ipiranga Group, and therefore is not solely based on Ipiranga Group’s economic perspective. Opening an AM/PM store depends on client and Ipiranga to agreeing on opening a store. Note that the client is not obliged to open an AM/PM store, but rather, the Client could open any other convenience store in their gas stations. In addition, not all the gas stations are ready to the opening of an AM/PM store, which is subject to certain criteria such as location and space among others.
 
 (15) Deutsche Bank did not consider correct to compare AM/PM to apparel stores such as Renner, internet based Submarino, department stores or any other retailer focused on selling toys or electronics
 
 (16) Naturally, other companies were considered to be incorporated into the sample, however we understand CBD is the best benchmark of value comparable to AM/PM. Adding more companies to the sample just for the sake of increasing the number of companies in the sample would not improve the quality of the analysis nor the conclusions, but it would compromise the conclusions of the analysis.
