ECOPETROL S.A. (EC) has called an extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting for September 15, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. in its main building in Bogotá, D.C., with live streaming and electronic voting. Shareholders are encouraged to attend with smart mobile devices or use proxy representation under Article 184 of the Colombian Commercial Code.
The agenda includes an amendment to Article 20 of the bylaws on the composition, renewal, and election of the Board of Directors; related updates to the Board Succession Policy and internal governance rules; possible waivers of certain information and review procedures if needed; and the comprehensive election of nine Board members for the 2025–2029 term using the electoral quotient system.

Filing Explained
The proposed vote could remove specified internal prerequisites for electing all nine directors, but no board change has occurred yet.
The resolutions remain proposed, not completed: if shareholders approve the Article 20 amendment, internal rules inconsistent with it—including a minimum number of current directors—would not be a precondition or impediment to electing all nine directors.
If needed, shareholders may also be asked to waive nominee-support and Succession Policy review procedures that were not completed before the election.
