This Circular contains forward-looking information based on Suncor’s current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions. This information is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in Suncor’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the AIF), Suncor’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the MD&A), and Suncor’s other disclosure documents, many of which are beyond the corporation’s control. Readers are cautioned that actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking information contained herein. Refer to the “Advisories” section of this Circular for information on the material risk factors and assumptions underlying the forward-looking information contained in this Circular.
The corporation’s business, reserves, financial condition and results of operations may be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors described in the “Advisories” section of this Circular.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios
Certain financial measures and ratios in this Circular – namely free funds flow (FFF), adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), and measures contained in return on capital employed (ROCE) – are not prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Refer to the “Advisories” section of this Circular. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are used by management to analyze business performance, leverage and liquidity.
|
|
| |
These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Therefore, these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures or ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Philosophy. Compensation of non-employee directors is intended to:
•
deliver an appropriate level of remuneration to enable Suncor to attract highly qualified individuals with the desired competencies, skills and attributes and the capability to meet the demanding responsibilities of Board members; and
•
provide a significant portion of such remuneration in equity-based pay to closely align non-employee directors’ interests with shareholder interests.
|
|
| |
Approach. The Governance Committee reviews Board compensation levels at least biennially to ensure Suncor’s approach to Board compensation is competitive with the median of the Suncor Compensation Peers and takes into account governance and best practice trends.
|
|
| |
As part of this review, the Governance Committee engages Willis Towers Watson (WTW) to benchmark compensation for non-employee directors, including the Board Chair, and to provide information on Board compensation governance and best practice trends. This information is used by the Governance Committee in determining the compensation components, mix and pay level for non-employee directors, including the Board Chair, that is then recommended to the full Board for approval.
|
|
| |
The total compensation structure for non-employee directors for 2024 consisted of annual retainers and travel fees. A significant portion of Director compensation is equity based as described herein.

| |
•
Suncor’s strategic plan, as reviewed by the Board, balances investment risk and reward, and assesses company and industry risks in advance to support planning, risk management and decision making.
|
|
|
|
||
| |
•
Suncor uses tools including an Enterprise Risk Management System, Operational Excellence Management System and Trading Risk Management Policy to identify and manage risk.
|
|
|
|
||
| |
•
In the normal course of business, Suncor has financial controls that provide limits and authorities in areas such as capital and operating expenditures, divestiture decisions and marketing and trading transactions. These financial controls mitigate inappropriate risk taking.
|
|
|
|
||
| |
•
The HR&CC uses a compensation program risk assessment framework in assessing Suncor’s compensation policies and programs to determine whether any components could encourage unacceptable or excessive risk taking.
|
|
|
|
||
| |
•
The elements of the compensation risk assessment framework are categorized in four areas: pay philosophy and compensation structure, plan designs, performance metrics, and governance.
|
|
|
|
||
| |
•
The HR&CC reviews the results of the compensation program risk assessment annually to consider any significant shifts in Suncor’s business strategies or compensation policies and programs. From its review in 2024, the HR&CC concluded that Suncor’s compensation policies and programs do not encourage excessive risk taking that could be expected to have a material adverse impact on Suncor.
|
|
| |
Plan and Program Design
|
|
| |
•
Total direct compensation for executives provides a balance between base salary and variable, performance-contingent compensation. For our NEOs, emphasis is not focused on one compensation component, but is spread across annual, mid- and long-term programs to support and balance sustained short-term performance and long-term profitability.
•
For our NEOs, typically 80% or more of their target total direct compensation is variable based on company performance and the remaining 20% or less is base salary. Of the 80% or more of variable compensation, approximately 80% or more is mid- and long-term focused and approximately 20% or less is short-term focused. The strong weighting towards mid- to long-term compensation mitigates the risk of undue emphasis on short-term goals at the expense of long-term sustainable performance.
•
Annual grants of stock options vest over three years and have a seven-year term, reinforcing the goal of building and sustaining long-term value in line with shareholder interests.
•
Our market PSUs reward relative TSR performance over three years versus our PSU peer group of companies, as described on page 49. The market PSUs also measure ROCE performance. Annual awards and overlapping three-year performance periods deter short-term focused decision making and require sustained performance to achieve a payout.
•
For market PSU grants, the TSR portion of the award does not pay out if relative TSR performance is in the bottom quartile of peer companies, there is a payout cap of 200% of target when relative TSR performance is in the top quartile of the peer group and a sliding scale of payout levels in between. The ROCE portion of market PSU awards similarly has pre-determined performance levels associated with the same range from no payout up to a maximum of 200%.
•
Climate PSUs were introduced as part of executive compensation beginning with 2022 awards. Consistent with market PSUs, the payout range is from no payout up to a maximum of 200% of target. The performance period of 2024 through 2026 is also consistent with market PSUs. Performance metrics for the 2024 award are focused on initiatives that will collectively achieve GHG emissions reductions, deploying capital towards a portfolio of projects and actual achieved emissions reductions.
|
|
| |
•
RSUs are part of executive compensation. The value of RSUs is directly connected to TSR, further aligning the interests of executives with those of shareholders, and the value of RSUs provides more stable retention value than options or PSUs.
•
The AIP for all salaried employees is inherently designed to limit risk. Short-term incentive pay is earned based on achievement against a balanced and diversified mix of performance measures. The measures include both financial and operating performance targets. This balanced approach discourages focus on a single measure at the expense of other key factors (e.g., profitable growth at the expense of safety). This design is intended to diversify the risk under any one performance area.
•
AIP targets, results and payouts are stress-tested and reviewed by the HR&CC.
•
The funds to provide for annual cash payouts under the AIP are determined based on a scorecard for key corporate measures critical to Suncor’s success.
•
A performance threshold for payouts under the AIP is established each year. For 2024, the threshold was based on achievement of a minimum AFFO.
•
Under the DSU Plan, executives may elect annually to allocate 25% to 100% of their AIP payment to DSUs. This feature in the DSU Plan is used by executives to assist in meeting share ownership requirements and defers annual incentive compensation, further encouraging a focus on long-term performance. Matching funds are not provided by Suncor. One NEO elected to allocate a portion of their 2024 AIP payment into DSUs.
•
Where share ownership guidelines have not been met within the prescribed period, executives must use the cash payout from their annual incentive award, a current vested PSU grant payout, or other cash resources to immediately satisfy any shortfall to the current share ownership guideline for their level.
|
|
| |
Policies and Guidelines
|
|
| |
•
Suncor’s total compensation for executives is regularly benchmarked against the Suncor Compensation Peers, a peer group of companies of similar size and business scope approved by the HR&CC. This ensures that compensation is competitive with peers and aligned with Suncor’s philosophy.
•
Suncor executives must achieve and maintain specific share ownership levels based on a multiple of their annual salary. A substantial share ownership level assists in aligning executive interests with those of shareholders. The share ownership guidelines for NEOs are found on page 32.
•
The CEO must maintain his share ownership requirement level through the first year following retirement.
|
|
| |
•
The HR&CC and the Board provide strong oversight of the management of Suncor’s compensation programs. The HR&CC has discretion in assessing performance under executive compensation programs to adjust metrics or the payouts based on results and events and has used this discretion to reduce or increase payouts under certain programs in the past.
|
|
| |
Policies and Guidelines
|
|
| |
•
Claw back policy allows the Board to seek, and in certain instances requires, reimbursement of incentive compensation in connection with a restatement of all or a portion of the corporation’s financial statements and for misconduct. The policy was updated in 2023 to comply with requirements of Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act and related rules of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
•
Executives are not permitted to hedge Suncor shares or equity awards and may not engage in short selling in Suncor shares or purchasing financial instruments (including, for greater certainty, puts, options, calls, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange-traded funds) that are designed to hedge or offset a change in the market value of Suncor’s common shares or other Suncor securities held by an executive.

| | Issuance of Shares under Plans | |
| |
•
No one person or company is entitled to receive more than 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares pursuant to all equity-based compensation arrangements.
|
|
|
|
||
| |
•
The aggregate number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance under the SOP and all other security-based compensation arrangements of Suncor, must not, within any one-year period be issued, or at any time under such arrangements be issuable, to insiders (as defined in the TSX Company Manual) of Suncor in an amount exceeding 10% of Suncor’s total issued and outstanding securities.
|
|
| | Amendment | |
| |
•
The SOP contains an amendment provision providing that the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the SOP as it, in its discretion, may determine, without shareholder approval except for those amendments specifically requiring shareholder approval including: (a) an increase in the number of securities reserved under the SOP; (b) a reduction in an exercise price, or cancellation and reissue of options which benefits any option holder; (c) an amendment that extends the term of an award beyond its original expiry; (d) allowing awards granted under the SOP to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and (e) any amendments to the amendment provision.
|
|
| | Impact of Change of Control, Reorganization or Other Events Affecting the Corporation | |
| |
•
Suncor’s equity compensation plans provide for adjustments to be made for the effect of certain events, including but not limited to, subdivision, consolidation, reorganization or other events which necessitate adjustments to the options in proportion with adjustments made to all common shares.
|
|
|
|
||
| |
•
Upon a change of control, awards that have been granted under the SOP that remain outstanding on the change of control will be substituted with new awards on substantially the same terms and conditions. Provided the foregoing occurs, a holder’s options will not vest upon or in connection with a change of control unless their employment is terminated within 12 months of the change of control (other than for cause), in which case the options will vest upon the holder’s termination and shall expire three months following the termination date. However, where options that remain outstanding on a change of control are not substituted with new awards on substantially the same terms and in certain other circumstances (including at the discretion of the Board), the outstanding awards will immediately become exercisable. Any award not so exercised will expire at the closing of the change of control transaction.
|
|
| | Termination of Employment | |
| |
•
Pursuant to the SOP, in the event of an employee’s involuntary termination (other than for cause, death, permitted leave, retirement or in connection with a change of control) or voluntary termination of employment, unvested options expire immediately, and vested options expire no later than three months from such termination. In the event of the holder’s death, all options become exercisable by the holder’s estate and shall expire no later than 12 months after the date of death. In the event of the holder’s retirement, all options become exercisable and shall expire no later than 36 months after the date of retirement. If a holder is absent from work as a result of a permitted leave, the holder’s options shall continue to vest for a period of 24 months from the date of commencement of the leave and the right to exercise such holder’s options shall terminate no later than the expiration of 12 months from the date that is 24 months from the date of commencement of the leave. If the holder has not returned to active service prior to the expiration of 24 months from the date of commencement of the permitted leave then the holder’s options which were not exercisable 24 months from the date of commencement of such leave shall immediately terminate. In the event of involuntary termination for cause, all options expire on the date of such termination.
