(1) For Messrs. Demosky and MacSween, credited service reflects executive employment plus three and 15 years of service, respectively, accrued under the
Suncor Energy Pension Plan prior to becoming an executive. For Mr. Jackman, credited service includes ten years of industry service granted at date
of hire.
(2) Represents the estimated annual pension, excluding any employee paid ancillary benefits, where applicable, that would be received by the Named
Executive Officer upon retirement at December 31, 2013 and at age 65 based on actual or projected pensionable service to the stated date and actual
pensionable earnings as at December 31, 2013.
(3) The defined benefit obligation is the estimated value of the pension obligation to the date indicated using the actuarial assumptions and methods that
are consistent with those used in determining the pension obligation as disclosed by Suncor in its consolidated financial statements. See note 23 in
Suncor’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. The methods and assumptions used to determine the estimated
amounts may not be identical to those used by other companies and as a result may not be directly comparable to the amounts disclosed by other
companies.
(4) Compensatory change represents the increase (decrease) in the pension obligation for 2013 related to the annual service cost, compensation changes
higher or lower than assumptions and the impact of plan changes, if any. This amount may fluctuate significantly from year-to-year as changes in
compensation impact the pension obligation for all years of credited service.
(5) Includes items such as interest on the obligation and the impact of changes in the discount rate assumption.
(6) Mr. Demosky resigned from Suncor effective December 27, 2013. His pension amount represents his pension determined at the date of his resignation,
payable at age 62 on an unreduced basis.
(7) Mr. Jackman retired from Suncor effective September 30, 2013. His pension at December 31, 2013 represents his pension determined at the date of
his retirement.
