    1 A 59% dividend payout ratio established within the policy range was applied to the net income, resulting in a dividend per share with decimals, which was rounded to the nearest number in COP/share. The payout percentage shown is rounded to the first decimal place.

    The dividends payment to minority shareholders is proposed to be made in two equal installments on April 4 and June 27 of 2025. On the other hand, the dividend due to our majority shareholder is proposed to be made no later than December 31, 2025, in coordination with the defined payment schedule for the balance of the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (FEPC) debt, corresponding to its accumulation in 2024.

    Moreover, the board of directors proposes the allocation of COP 16,635,492,094,077 to an occasional reserve to support the Company's financial sustainability and flexibility in the execution of its strategy.

    Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia and one of the main integrated energy companies in the American continent, with more than 19,000 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.
