Restricted Share Unit Plan. The RSU Plan was established in January 2009 by the HR&CC. RSUs may be granted to key
employees, senior managers and executives of Suncor as part of their competitive compensation in order to increase the
retention aspects of the overall equity programs, as well as to further align participants with shareholder interests.
Each RSU is a right to a cash payment, equivalent in value to one Suncor common share based on the value of Suncor’s
average common share price for the last 20 trading days of the restricted period. Awards under the RSU Plan are
administered by the HR&CC. RSUs do not count towards the assessment of executive share ownership levels for purposes
of the share ownership guidelines. The RSU Plan was amended in 2009 to provide for notional dividend reinvestment for
grants after January 1, 2010.
