SUMMARY OF INCENTIVE PLANS





Performance Share Unit Plan. PSUs form 50% of the equity component of target total direct compensation for 

executives. A PSU award may pay out based on a vesting level between 0% and 200% of the number of PSUs initially 
awarded contingent upon Suncor’s performance relative to a peer group of companies over a three-year period. PSUs 

provide for notional dividend re-investment.

The peer group for a PSU award is chosen based on size and business scope criteria approved by the HR&CC. The peer 
group for grants beginning in 2010 includes North American energy companies. The PSU peer group is reviewed, adjusted 

as appropriate and approved by the HR&CC for each annual grant.

The peer groups and related information for the 2012 and 2013 PSU awards are displayed below.
