DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEW YORK 


STOCK EXCHANGE


As a Canadian issuer listed on the NYSE, we are not required to comply with most of the NYSE’s rules and instead may 

comply with Canadian requirements. As a foreign private issuer, we are only required to comply with four of the NYSE’s 
rules. These rules provide that: (i) Suncor must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 

under the Exchange Act; (ii) the Chief Executive Officer of Suncor must promptly notify the NYSE in writing after an 
executive officer becomes aware of any material non-compliance with the applicable NYSE rules; (iii) Suncor must provide 

a brief description of any significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those followed by
U.S. companies listed under the NYSE; and (iv) Suncor must provide annual, and as required, written affirmations of 
compliance with applicable NYSE Corporate Governance rules. The company has disclosed in its 2014 management proxy 

circular, which is available on our website at www.suncor.com, that, in certain instances, it is not required to obtain 
shareholder approval for material amendments to equity compensation plans and that Suncor, while in compliance with 

the independence requirements of applicable securities laws in Canada (specifically National Instrument 52-110 Audit 
Committees) and the U.S. (specifically Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act), it has not adopted, and is not required to adopt, 

the director independence standards contained in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, including with 
respect to its audit committee and compensation committee. The Board has not adopted, nor is it required to adopt, 

procedures to implement Section 303A.05(c)(iv) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual in respect of compensation 
committee advisor independence. Except as described herein, the company is in compliance with the NYSE Corporate 

Governance standards in all other significant respects.
