EC: 6-K · leadership change

Ecopetrol's Board approved three senior management appointments on September 30, 2026: Mónica Jiménez González as Corporate VP of Legal Affairs and General Secretary, Mauricio Gutiérrez as Corporate VP of Strategy and New Business, and Camilo Rojas as Corporate VP of Administration and Services. All three are effective no later than October 6, 2026, and each brings 15-20+ years of experience in energy-sector law, M&A/corporate finance, and public-sector procurement respectively. The moves are part of Ecopetrol's stated transformation agenda to strengthen strategic capabilities; the return of former general secretary Jiménez and the integrity-focused background of Rojas (former Acting Minister of Justice) suggest emphasis on governance and procurement rigor.

Resolutions Adopted by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting Held on September 15, 2026

Ecopetrol shareholders approved an amendment to Article 20 of the company's bylaws governing the composition, renewal, and election of the Board of Directors, with 99.67% of votes in favor. The amendment was proposed by the Nation of Colombia acting through the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, the company's controlling shareholder. Shareholders elected a full nine-member board for the remainder of the 2025-2029 institutional term, seated by electoral quotient with roughly 99.65% approval. The slate comprises six independent and three non-independent directors, led by Carlos Augusto Suárez Rojas. The board was instructed to align the Board Succession Policy and other internal governance instruments with the amended Article 20. Pending that alignment, internal provisions inconsistent with it — including any requirement mandating a minimum number of incumbent Board members — will not apply, removing a continuity safeguard ahead of the full election. Separately, shareholders rejected a proposal to allow additional agenda items (95.84% against), and determined that no waiver was necessary regarding nominee-information obligations under the Succession Policy.

EC: 6-K · acquisition merger

Ecopetrol S.A. reported that second-call ordinary meetings of holders of its 2010 and 2013 domestic public debt bonds, held on September 4, 2026, approved the proposed merger by absorption between Ecopetrol (surviving entity) and its subsidiary Parque Solar Portón del Sol S.A.S. (absorbed entity). Vote support was strong: the merger was approved by 74.92% of the total outstanding principal of the 2010 bonds (94.65% of votes cast at a 79.16% quorum) and by 80.77% of the total outstanding principal of the 2013 bonds (100% of votes cast at a 79.95% quorum), exceeding the 40% affirmative-vote threshold required under Decree 2555 of 2010. The company emphasized that the bondholder approval does not modify the economic or financial terms of its outstanding ordinary bond issuances, making this a corporate-simplification step tied to consolidating its solar subsidiary rather than a debt restructuring.

EC: 6-K · proxy statement

Ecopetrol S.A. announced measures to ensure proper representation of shareholders at its Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting scheduled for September 15, 2026, in accordance with the Financial Superintendence of Colombia's Legal Basic Circular (C.E. 006 of 2025). The measures require strict verification of powers of attorney, bar accepting proxies without a clearly named representative, and prohibit Ecopetrol managers and employees from suggesting proxies, recommending votes, or coordinating shareholder proposals. Powers of attorney granted to individuals related to management or employees are expressly banned. The filing is procedural with no financial figures, but the regulator-mandated controls hint at governance scrutiny ahead of a meeting whose agenda is not disclosed here. Ecopetrol is Colombia's largest company, holding 51.4% of ISA and responsible for more than 60% of national hydrocarbon production.

Ecopetrol S.A.'s chief executive has summoned an extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting for September 15, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the company's Bogota headquarters, with in-person attendance, live streaming, and electronic voting via mobile devices. The headline agenda item is an amendment to Article 20 of Ecopetrol's bylaws governing the composition, renewal, and election of the Board of Directors, followed by the comprehensive election of all nine board members through the electoral quotient system for the remainder of the 2025-2029 institutional term. Companion items would instruct the board to align its Succession Policy and other governance instruments with the amended bylaws and, solely if required, waive certain nominee information and review procedures that could not be completed before the election. The mid-term overhaul of the entire board at Colombia's majority state-owned oil company signals a potential shift in governance dynamics, and minority shareholders will be watching how the bylaws changes and the comprehensive election affect board independence.
