(1) Messrs. Gass and Wilson are not represented in the foregoing table as they were appointed to the Board effective February 3, 2014.
(2) Includes DSUs issued under the DSU Plan and closed PCCDSU Plan and in the case of Mr. Haseldonckx, RSUs issued under the closed PCRSU Plan.
(3) Value of shares, DSUs and RSUs is calculated based on the closing price on the TSX of a Suncor common share on December 31, 2013 ($37.24).
(4) Value of options reported reflects the ‘in-the-money’ amount (the difference between the closing price on the TSX of a Suncor common share on
December 31, 2013 ($37.24) and the exercise price of the option) of the exercisable options held as at December 31, 2013.
(5) Ms. McCaw’s Suncor common shares and values based on that number have been restated for 2012.
Looking Ahead to 2014:
In November 2013, the Governance Committee reviewed total compensation benchmark data provided by Towers
Watson for 2012, and where available, for 2013, for non-employee directors, including the chairman of the Board, for
the Suncor Compensation Peers. The benchmark data showed that Suncor’s total compensation for non-employee
directors was below the median of the Suncor Compensation Peers.
After consideration, the Governance Committee recommended to the Board that total compensation for
non-employee directors for 2014, other than the chairman of the Board, be increased to $300,000, and that the
increase will be provided as part of their annual grant of DSUs, to reflect the median total compensation level for the
Suncor Compensation Peers. No increase was recommended for the chairman of the Board. This was the first increase
recommended in five years. The Board subsequently approved the Governance Committee’s recommendations for
2014 non-employee director compensation.
