Advisories
Forward-Looking Statements – Suncor’s 360 publication contains certain forward-looking statements and information (collectively, “forward-looking statements”), including statements about Suncor’s strategies and goals, that
are based on Suncor’s current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions that were made by Suncor in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends. Some of the forward-looking statements may be identified
by words such as “objective”, “targets”, “estimates”, “anticipated”, “plans”, “goal”, “vision”, “strategy”, “expects”, “proposed”, “intention”, “continue”, “may“, ”will”, “outlook”, “opportunity”, “pursuing”, “illustrative” and
“projected” and similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are based on Suncor’s current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions that were made by the company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends including: expectations and assumptions concerning the accuracy of reserve and resource estimates; commodity prices and interest and foreign exchange rates; capital efficiencies and cost-savings; applicable royalty
rates and tax laws; future production rates; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; and the availability and cost of labour and services. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees
of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some that are similar to other oil and gas companies and some that are unique to our company. Forward-looking statements in this publication include those,
or those related to: the commissioning of a new water treatment plant that is expected to increase the reuse and recycling of wastewater, reduce Suncor’s draw on fresh water and reduce Suncor’s water river withdrawal by about
65 per cent compared to 2007; the agreement reached to sell the Wilson Creek Assets, including the expectation that the transaction will close as described; Suncor’s water management strategy, including its goal to reduce company-
wide freshwater intake by 12% by 2015 (as compared to 2007); and the Water Technology Development Centre. Suncor’s actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements and
you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. Suncor’s Earnings Release and Quarterly Report for the second quarter of 2014 (“Q2 Report”), and its Annual Information Form/Form 40-F, Annual Report to Shareholders
(“Annual Report”) and other documents it files from time to time with securities regulatory authorities describe the risks, uncertainties, material assumptions and other factors that could influence actual results and such factors
are incorporated herein by reference. Copies of these documents are available without charge from Suncor at 150 6th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 3Y7, by calling 1-800-558-9071, or by email request to info@ suncor.com or by referring to the company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Except as required by applicable securities laws, Suncor disclaims any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
