Dear Suncor Shareholders:

        You are invited to attend an annual general and special meeting (the "Suncor Shareholders' Meeting") of the holders ("Suncor Shareholders") of common shares ("Suncor Shares") of Suncor Energy Inc. ("Suncor") to be held in the Wildrose Ballroom at the Sheraton Suites Eau Claire, 255 Barclay Parade S.W., Calgary, Alberta, at 1:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on Thursday, June 4, 2009. At the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting, you will be asked to consider, among other things, a resolution to approve the proposed amalgamation of Suncor and Petro-Canada to be completed by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Additionally, Suncor Shareholders will be asked to approve the adoption of a new stock option plan for the combined company (provided the Arrangement is completed) and to elect the directors and appoint the auditors of Suncor until the earlier of the completion of the Arrangement and the next annual general meeting of Suncor Shareholders.

        Please complete the enclosed form of proxy and submit it to our transfer agent and registrar, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as soon as possible but not later than 1:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 or 48 hours prior to the time of any adjournment of the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting.

        Suncor and Petro-Canada entered into an arrangement agreement dated March 22, 2009 (the "Arrangement Agreement"). Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement and the accompanying Plan of Arrangement, as amended, Suncor and Petro-Canada will amalgamate and continue as "Suncor Energy Inc." ("Amalco") such that, in accordance with the Arrangement, each Suncor Shareholder will receive one common share of Amalco ("Amalco Shares") for each Suncor Share then held (the "Suncor Exchange Ratio") and each shareholder of Petro-Canada ("Petro-Canada Shareholders") will receive 1.28 Amalco Shares for each common share of Petro-Canada then held. Immediately following completion of the Arrangement, former Suncor Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 60% of Amalco and former Petro-Canada Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 40% of Amalco. The Arrangement is currently anticipated to be completed in the third quarter of 2009. Once there is more certainty as to when the Arrangement is expected to be completed, registered Suncor Shareholders will be provided with a letter of transmittal and election form explaining how to exchange their Suncor Shares for Amalco Shares.

        If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our proxy solicitor, Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc., by telephone at 1-866-851-2638 toll-free in North America or (416) 867-2272 outside of North America or by email at contactus@kingsdaleshareholder.com.

        Subject to the qualifications in the accompanying joint information circular and proxy statement of Suncor and Petro-Canada, the exchange of Suncor Shares for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement should generally not give rise to any capital gain or capital loss to Suncor Shareholders under Canadian or United States federal income tax laws. Suncor Shareholders who are individuals resident in Canada, holding up to a maximum of 15% of the outstanding Suncor Shares, may, however, elect to have the exchange of their Suncor Shares for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement carried out in such a manner that may allow such Suncor Shareholders to realize capital gains or capital losses for Canadian federal income tax purposes by making such election, or having such election made on their behalf, in the letter of transmittal and election form on or before the election deadline specified in the letter of transmittal and election form. For additional information and a general discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of making such an election, see the section entitled "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the accompanying joint information circular and proxy statement of Suncor and Petro-Canada.

        There are many anticipated benefits of the proposed amalgamation of Suncor and Petro-Canada. The amalgamation will create a premier Canadian integrated energy company, which is expected to benefit from an integrated business model which will encompass a global leadership position in the oil sands industry, a strong Canadian downstream branch and an attractive portfolio of domestic and international conventional oil and natural gas assets. It will have an attractive combination of long-life assets and numerous growth opportunities through Suncor's and Petro-Canada's combined inventory of potential development projects. In addition, Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that the combined company will deliver significant cost savings through substantial operating synergies.

i



Finally, Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that the combined company will have a strong credit profile, with pro forma debt-to-capitalization of approximately 30% and a debt-to-cash flow from operations ratio of approximately 1.3 times. For additional information with respect to these and other anticipated benefits of the Arrangement, see the section in the accompanying joint information circular and proxy statement entitled "Part I — The Arrangement — Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement".

        Following the Arrangement, I will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Amalco, Mr. John T. Ferguson, the current Chairman of Suncor, will serve as Chairman of Amalco, and Mr. Ron A. Brenneman, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Petro-Canada, will serve as Executive Vice-Chairman of Amalco. The proposed board of directors of Amalco will consist of eight current members of the Suncor board of directors (including myself and Mr. Ferguson) and four current members of the Petro-Canada board of directors. Mr. Brenneman and I will be joined on the executive team by a combination of the current executive officers of Suncor and Petro-Canada.

        The Arrangement will not result in a "change of control" or any other form of accelerated payment or vesting for the purposes of any employment or consulting services agreement, or any incentive, bonus or similar plan applicable to Suncor, Petro-Canada or their respective directors, officers and employees, including for the purposes of Suncor options, Petro-Canada options or pursuant to the related plans or agreements. Suncor options, Petro-Canada options and awards under Suncor and Petro-Canada non-equity based compensation plans will be adjusted on the same basis as the share exchange ratios under the Arrangement.

        The resolution approving the Arrangement (the "Suncor Arrangement Resolution") must be approved by not less than 662/3% of the votes cast by the Suncor Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting. Completion of the proposed Arrangement is also conditional upon approval by not less than 662/3% of the votes cast by the Petro-Canada Shareholders present in person or by proxy at a meeting of such holders, the approval of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, compliance with the Competition Act (Canada) and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and the receipt of required regulatory, stock exchange and third party approvals.

        After considering, among other things, the opinions of CIBC World Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley Canada Limited, that, as of March 22, 2009, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, explanations, qualifications and limitations set forth in their respective opinions, the Suncor Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Suncor Shareholders, the Board of Directors of Suncor has concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Suncor and is fair to Suncor Shareholders, and recommends that the Suncor Shareholders vote in favour of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution. See the section in the accompanying joint information circular and proxy statement of Suncor and Petro-Canada entitled "Part I — The Arrangement — Suncor Fairness Opinions" and Appendix D-1 and Appendix D-2.

        The accompanying joint information circular and proxy statement contains a detailed description of the Arrangement and the other matters to be considered at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting, as well as detailed information regarding Suncor and Petro-Canada and certain pro forma and other combined information regarding the combined company after giving effect to the Arrangement. It also includes certain risk factors relating to completion of the Arrangement and the potential consequences of a Suncor Shareholder exchanging his or her Suncor Shares for Amalco Shares in connection with the Arrangement. Please give this material your careful consideration and, if you require assistance, consult your financial, tax or other professional advisors.

        On behalf of the board of directors of Suncor, I would like to express our gratitude for the support our shareholders have demonstrated with respect to our decision to take the proposed Arrangement forward.

        We look forward to seeing you at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting.


 

 

Yours very truly,

        Each Petro-Canada Share entitled to be voted at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting will entitle the holder to one vote at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting.

        A Petro-Canada Shareholder may attend the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting in person or may be represented by proxy. Petro-Canada Shareholders who are unable to attend the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting or any adjournment thereof in person are requested to date, sign and return the accompanying form of proxy for use at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting or any adjournment thereof. To be effective, the proxy must be received by CIBC Mellon Trust Company, Attention: Proxy Department, by mail: P.O. Box 721, Agincourt, Ontario, M1S 0A1, or by facsimile: (416) 368-2502, not later than 9:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 or 48 hours prior to the time of any adjournment of the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting.

notice of objection to the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution to Petro-Canada (i) c/o Macleod Dixon LLP, Suite 3700, 400 Third Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4H2 (Attention: John J.

    If your shares are not registered in your name but are held by a nominee, please see below.

Q.
How can a non-registered shareholder vote?

A.
If your shares are not registered in your name, but are held in the name of a nominee (usually a bank, trust company, securities broker or other financial institution), your nominee is required to seek your instructions as to how to vote your shares. Your nominee will have provided you with a package of information, including these meeting materials and either a proxy or a voting instruction form. Carefully follow the instructions accompanying the proxy or voting instruction form.

Q.
How can a non-registered shareholder vote in person at the meeting?

A.
Suncor does not have access to all the names of its non-registered shareholders. Therefore, if you are a non-registered shareholder and attend the meeting, we will have no record of your shareholdings or of your entitlement to vote unless your nominee has appointed you as a proxyholder. If you wish to vote in person at the meeting, insert your name in the space provided on the proxy form or voting instruction form sent to you by your nominee. In doing so you are instructing your nominee to appoint you as a proxyholder. Complete the form by following the return instructions provided by your nominee. You should report to a representative of Computershare upon arrival at the meeting.

Q.
Who votes my shares and how will they be voted if I return a proxy?

A.
By properly completing and returning a proxy, you are authorizing the person named in the proxy to attend the meeting and vote your shares. You can use the enclosed proxy form, or any other proper form of proxy, to appoint your proxyholder.

    The shares represented by your proxy must be voted according to your instructions in the proxy. If you properly complete and return your proxy but do not specify how you wish the votes cast, your shares will be voted as your proxyholder sees fit. Unless contrary instructions are provided, shares represented by proxies received by management will be voted:

    FOR the amalgamation of Suncor and Petro-Canada;

    FOR the adoption of a new stock option plan by the combined company;

    FOR the election as directors of Suncor of those nominees set out in Appendix H to the joint information circular and proxy statement enclosed herewith; and

Registered Suncor shareholders will be provided with a letter of transmittal and election form that must be completed and sent with the certificate(s) representing your shares to Computershare Investor Services Inc., the depositary for the Arrangement, at any of the offices set forth in such letter of transmittal and election form. If your shares are not registered in your name but are held by a nominee, please contact your nominee for instructions.

xii


Q.
Should I send my Suncor share certificate(s) to the depositary now?

A.
No. Registered Suncor shareholders will be provided with a letter of transmittal and election form explaining how and when to deposit your shares once we are more certain as to when we expect the Arrangement to be completed.

Q.
Will the shares of the combined company be listed on a stock exchange?

A.
The shares of the combined company have been conditionally approved for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under Suncor's existing ticker symbol "SU", subject to the satisfaction of the applicable listing requirements of such exchanges.

Q.
Can I appoint someone other than the individuals named in the enclosed proxy form to vote my shares?

A.
Yes, you have the right to appoint the person of your choice, who does not need to be a shareholder, to attend and act on your behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the names that appear, then strike out those printed names appearing on the proxy form and insert the name of your chosen proxyholder in the space provided.

    NOTE: It is important to ensure that any other person you appoint is attending the meeting and is aware that his or her appointment to vote your shares has been made. Proxyholders should, on arrival at the meeting, present themselves to a representative of Computershare.

Q.
What if my shares are registered in more than one name or in the name of my company?

A.
If the shares are registered in more than one name, all those registered must sign the form of proxy. If the shares are registered in the name of your company or any name other than yours, you may require documentation that proves you are authorized to sign the proxy form.

Q.
Can I revoke a proxy or voting instruction?

A.
If you are a registered shareholder and have returned a proxy, you may revoke it by:

completing and signing a proxy bearing a later date, and delivering it to Computershare;

delivering a written statement, signed by you or your authorized attorney to:

the Corporate Secretary of Suncor Energy Inc. at 112 - 4th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2V5 at any time up to the close of business on the last business day prior to the meeting, or the business day preceding the day to which the meeting adjourned; or

the Chairman of the meeting prior to the start of the meeting; or

any other manner permitted by law.

    If you are a non-registered shareholder, contact your nominee.

What is electronic delivery?

A.
Electronic delivery is voluntary email notification sent to shareholders when documents such as our annual report, quarterly reports and this joint information circular and proxy statement are available on our

xiii


    website. If you wish, you may elect to be notified by email when documents are posted on our website. Electronic delivery will save paper, provide an environmental benefit and reduce costs.

Q.
Am I entitled to vote?

A.
You are entitled to vote if you were a holder of common shares of Petro-Canada ("shares") as of the close of business on April 28, 2009. Each share entitles its holder to one vote.

Q.
Am I a registered shareholder?

A.
You are a registered shareholder if you hold any shares in your own name. Your shares are represented by a share certificate.

    You can inspect a list of registered Petro-Canada shareholders on request after May 8, 2009, during usual business hours, at Petro-Canada's registered office at 150 - 6 Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta. This list will also be available at the meeting.

Q.
Am I a beneficial shareholder (also commonly referred to as a non-registered shareholder)?

The two ways you can vote your shares if you are a registered shareholder are:

In doing so you are instructing your nominee to appoint you as a proxyholder. Please register with Petro-Canada's transfer agent, CIBC Mellon, when you arrive at the meeting as we have no access to the names of our beneficial shareholders; if you attend the meeting without following this procedure, we will have no record of your shareholdings or entitlement to vote.

      No person, together with associates of that person, may hold, beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, other than by way of security only, in the aggregate, voting shares to which are attached more than 20% of the votes that may ordinarily be cast to elect Directors of the Company.

xvii


Q.
How many shares are entitled to vote?

A.
As of April 27, 2009, there were 484,894,005 shares outstanding. Provided they are not in breach of the ownership restrictions described above, each shareholder has one vote for each share held as of the close of business on April 28, 2009.

    The investment firm of Alliance Bernstein L.P. exercises control or direction over 51,029,472 shares as at April 10, 2009, representing approximately 10.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares as at April 10, 2009. Except as described above, our Board of Directors and the officers of Petro-Canada know of no person who beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights for any class of Petro-Canada's voting shares.

Q.
Will the shares of the combined company be listed on a stock exchange?

A.
The shares of the combined company have been conditionally approved for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under Suncor's existing ticker symbol "SU", subject to the satisfaction of the applicable listing requirements of such exchanges.

JOINT INFORMATION CIRCULAR AND PROXY STATEMENT

        See "Glossary of Terms" for the meaning assigned to certain capitalized terms in this Information Circular.

Introduction

        This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the management of Suncor and Petro-Canada for use at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting and the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, respectively, and any adjournment(s) thereof. No person has been authorized to give any information or make any representation in connection with the Arrangement or any other matters to be considered at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting or the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting other than those contained in this Information Circular and, if given or made, any such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized.

        The information concerning Petro-Canada contained in this Information Circular has been provided by Petro-Canada. Although Suncor has no knowledge that would indicate that any of such information is untrue or incomplete, Suncor does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information or the failure by Petro-Canada to disclose events which may have occurred or may affect the completeness or accuracy of such information but which are unknown to Suncor.

        The information concerning Suncor contained in this Information Circular has been provided by Suncor. Although Petro-Canada has no knowledge that would indicate that any of such information is untrue or incomplete, Petro-Canada does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information or the failure by Suncor to disclose events which may have occurred or may affect the completeness or accuracy of such information but which are unknown to Petro-Canada.

        All summaries of, and references to, the Arrangement in this Information Circular are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan of Arrangement, a copy of which is attached as Schedule 1.1(a) to the Arrangement Agreement, which is attached as Appendix C to this Information Circular. You are urged to read carefully the full text of the Plan of Arrangement.

        All capitalized terms used in this Information Circular but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth under "Glossary of Terms". Information contained in this Information Circular is given as of April 29, 2009 unless otherwise specifically stated.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Information

        This Information Circular, including documents incorporated by reference herein, contains forward-looking statements and information. The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "objective", "ongoing", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe", "plans", "intends", "potential" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements or information. More particularly and without limitation, this Information Circular contains forward-looking statements and information concerning: Amalco's assets, cost structure, financial position, cash flow and growth prospects; Amalco's petroleum and natural gas production, reserves and resources; future project development; the anticipated benefits from the Arrangement, including reduced capital requirements, cost savings, improved operating and capital efficiencies and integration opportunities; the name, board of directors and executive leadership team of Amalco; the expected completion date of the Arrangement; the anticipated tax treatment of the Arrangement on Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders; the stock exchange listing of the Amalco Shares; and certain combined operational and financial information.

        Furthermore, the combined information set forth in the Information Circular should not be interpreted as indicative of the actual reserves, resources, financial position or other results of operations had Suncor and Petro-Canada operated as Amalco as at or for the periods presented.

        The forward-looking statements and information in this Information Circular are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Suncor and Petro-Canada, including expectations and assumptions concerning: the accuracy of reserve and resource estimates; customer demand for Amalco's products; commodity prices and interest and foreign exchange rates; planned synergies, capital efficiencies and

1



cost-savings; applicable royalty rates and tax laws; growth projects and future production rates; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the availability and cost of labour and services; and the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory, Shareholders and third party approvals in respect of the Arrangement. Although Suncor and Petro-Canada believe that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements and information are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements and information because Suncor and Petro-Canada can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.

        Since forward-looking statements and information address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general, such as: operational risks in development, exploration and production, including as a result of unexpected events such as fires, blowouts, freeze-ups, equipment failures and other similar events; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the integrity and reliability of capital assets; the uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates and estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price, interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations; marketing and transportation of petroleum and natural gas and the loss of markets and the elimination of margins or other differentials on which profits are based; environmental risks, including the cost of compliance with existing and future Environmental Laws; competitive actions of other companies, including increased competition from other oil and gas companies and from companies that provide alternative sources of energy; labour and material shortages; and the maintenance of satisfactory relationships with unions, employee associations and joint venture partners. There are also risks inherent in the nature of the Arrangement, including: failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement and to successfully integrate Suncor and Petro-Canada; the ability of Amalco to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources on favourable terms, or at all; failure to satisfy all regulatory conditions or obtain required regulatory, Shareholders and other third party approvals in respect of the Arrangement in a timely manner and on favourable terms or at all; changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, royalty rates and environmental regulations; failure to realize anticipated synergies or cost savings; and incorrect assessments by one Party of the value of the other Party. This Information Circular also contains forward-looking statements and information concerning the anticipated timing for and completion of the Arrangement. Suncor and Petro-Canada have provided these anticipated times in reliance on certain assumptions that they believe are reasonable at this time, including assumptions as to the timing of receipt of the necessary regulatory, court and other third party approvals and the time necessary to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the Arrangement. These dates may change for a number of reasons, including the inability to secure necessary regulatory, court or other third party approvals in the time assumed or the need for additional time to satisfy the conditions to the completion of the Arrangement. None of the foregoing lists of important factors are exhaustive. As a result of the foregoing, readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements and information contained in this Information Circular.

        The information contained in this Information Circular, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, identifies additional factors that could affect the operating results and performance of Suncor, Petro-Canada and Amalco. Readers are urged to carefully consider those factors.

        Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists are not exhaustive. Readers should carefully review and consider the risk factors described under "Part I — The Arrangement — Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement", "Part V — Information Concerning Suncor — Risk Factors", "Part VI — Information Concerning Petro-Canada — Risk Factors", "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations", "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" and other risks described elsewhere in this Information Circular. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect the operations or financial results of Suncor, Petro-Canada or Amalco are included in reports on file with applicable securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com), the SEC's website (www.sec.gov) or, in the case of Suncor, at Suncor's website (www.suncor.com), and in the case of Petro-Canada, at Petro-Canada's website (www.petro- canada.ca). Suncor's website and Petro-Canada's website, although referenced, do not form part of this Information Circular.

        The forward-looking statements and information contained in this Information Circular are made as of the date hereof and Suncor and Petro-Canada undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws. The forward-looking information and statements contained herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Barrel of Oil Equivalency

        The term "Boe" or barrels of oil equivalent may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6 Mcf: 1 Bbl) of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Information for Beneficial Shareholders

        The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of such Shareholders do not hold Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Shares in their own name ("Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the applicable registrar and transfer agent for Suncor or Petro-Canada, as applicable, as the Registered Holders of Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the applicable Meeting. If Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Shares will not be registered in a holder's name on the records of Suncor or Petro-Canada. Such Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the holder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Shares held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, the brokers/nominees are prohibited from voting Shares for their clients. The majority of Shares held in the United States are registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee for The Depository Trust Company, which is the United States equivalent of CDS. Suncor and Petro-Canada generally do not know for whose benefit the Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. or Cede & Co. are held.

        Applicable regulatory policy may require intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Shares are voted at the applicable Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to Registered Holders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Holders how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically mails a scannable Voting Instruction Form in lieu of the applicable form of proxy. The Beneficial Shareholder is requested to complete and return the Voting Instruction Form by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, the Beneficial Shareholder can call a toll-free telephone number or access the internet to vote the Shares held by the Beneficial Shareholder. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the applicable Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a Voting Instruction Form cannot use that Voting Instruction Form to vote Shares directly at the applicable Meeting, as the Voting Instruction Form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the applicable Meeting in order to have the Shares voted.

        Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the applicable Meeting for the purpose of voting Shares registered in the name of its broker or other intermediary, a Beneficial Shareholder may vote those Shares as a proxyholder for the Registered Holder. To do this, a Beneficial Shareholder should enter such Beneficial Shareholder's own name in the blank space on the applicable form of proxy provided to the Beneficial Shareholder and return the document to such Beneficial Shareholder's broker or other intermediary (or the agent of such broker or other intermediary) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker, intermediary or agent well in advance of the applicable Meeting.

3


        Beneficial Shareholders should also instruct their broker or other intermediary to complete the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form regarding the Arrangement with respect to the Beneficial Shareholder's Shares, once such has been provided, in order to receive the Amalco Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for such holder's Shares.

        See "Suncor Shareholders — Questions and Answers" and "Petro-Canada Shareholders — Questions and Answers" accompanying this Information Circular and "Part VII — General Proxy Matters — Suncor" and "Part VIII — General Proxy Matters — Petro-Canada".

Non-GAAP Measures

        This Information Circular and certain documents incorporated by reference herein make reference to certain non-Canadian GAAP financial measures to assist in assessing Suncor's and Petro-Canada's respective financial performance. Some of these non-Canadian GAAP measures include references to cash flow from operations (before changes in non-cash working capital), return on capital employed and cash and total operating costs per barrel. Non-Canadian GAAP financial measures do not have standard meanings prescribed by Canadian GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Such non-Canadian GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash flow from operating activities and other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with Canadian GAAP as an indicator of performance. For additional information regarding these non-Canadian GAAP measures, see management's discussion and analysis for each of Suncor and Petro-Canada for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, all of which are incorporated by reference herein.

Disclosure of Combined Reserves and Resources

        The combined estimates of Suncor's and Petro-Canada's reserves and contingent resources set forth in this Information Circular combine multiple estimates of proved and probable reserves and best estimates of contingent resources and 2C contingent resources, which statistical principles indicate may be misleading as to volumes that may actually be recovered. Such volumes are not intended to be indicative of volumes that may actually be recovered and are provided for illustrative purposes only. In addition, while Suncor prepares its oil and gas disclosure in accordance with NI 51-101, Petro-Canada prepares certain of its oil and gas disclosure in accordance with SEC requirements. See "— Petro-Canada Oil and Gas Disclosure" below. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such numbers due to a variety of risks inherent in the manner in which such volumes are presented, including but not limited to: material differences in the manner in which Petro-Canada and Suncor calculate their reserves and resources; inherent difficulties in combining resource volumes developed under differing standards and requirements; and the use of different pricing methodology. See "— Information for United States Shareholders" below and "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Selected Combined Operational Information for Amalco".

        Contingent resources do not constitute, and should not be confused with, reserves. For additional important information regarding the oil and gas disclosure of Suncor and Petro-Canada (including in respect of the disclosure of contingent resources) see the section entitled "Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information" in the Suncor AIF and the sections entitled "Petro-Canada Disclosure of Reserves" and "Reserves" in the Petro-Canada AIF, respectively, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Information Circular.

Petro-Canada Oil and Gas Disclosure

        In order to harmonize its oil and gas disclosure in both Canada and the United States, Petro-Canada applied for, and received, certain exemptions to reserves disclosure requirements as set out in NI 51-101. These exemptions permit Petro-Canada to use its own staff of qualified reserves evaluators to prepare Petro-Canada's reserves estimates and to use SEC and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) standards when reporting oil and gas reserves. In addition, the reserves for Petro-Canada's Syncrude mining operation were prepared in accordance with SEC Industry Guide 7. Thus, data on Petro-Canada's oil and gas reserves contained or incorporated by reference in this Information Circular may differ from Canadian domestic disclosure standards

4



and practices. For more information with respect to Petro-Canada's oil and gas disclosure see the section entitled "Reserves" in the Petro-Canada AIF, which is incorporated by reference into this Information Circular.

Information For United States Shareholders

        The common shares of Amalco to be issued under the Arrangement are being issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act. The solicitation of proxies for the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting and the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting are not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, the solicitations and transactions contemplated in this Information Circular are made in the United States for securities of a Canadian issuer in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws, and this Information Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to registration statements under the U.S. Securities Act and proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act.

        Specifically, except as otherwise described above under "— Petro-Canada Oil and Gas Disclosure", information concerning the operations of Suncor and Petro-Canada contained herein has been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States disclosure standards. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of Amalco and audited historical financial statements of Suncor and Petro-Canada and others included in or incorporated by reference in this Information Circular have been presented in Canadian dollars, were prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which differ from U.S. GAAP in certain material respects, and are not comparable in all respects to financial statements of United States domestic issuers.

        Suncor and Petro-Canada have each filed with the SEC an annual report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2008 that includes a reconciliation of their respective audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 to U.S. GAAP, as required by Form 40-F. Each of Suncor's and Petro-Canada's Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2008 may be obtained for free at the SEC's internet website at www.sec.gov.

        Oil and gas companies are required to apply a "ceiling test" when preparing their financial statements. A company must compare the net capitalized costs of its oil and natural gas properties against a "ceiling value". If the net capitalized costs exceed the ceiling value, the company must record a non-cash write-down equal to the difference. Under U.S. GAAP, the calculation of the "ceiling value" must be made using the future net revenues from proved reserves using oil and natural gas prices in effect at the end of the applicable period discounted at ten percent. Under Canadian GAAP, the ceiling value is initially based on undiscounted future net revenues from proved reserves using forecast prices. Therefore, in a low commodity price environment the maximum ceiling value attributable to oil and natural gas assets is generally lower under U.S. GAAP than under Canadian GAAP. Accordingly, in a low commodity price environment where expected future commodity prices exceed current commodity prices, or when material acquisitions are initially recorded using Canadian ceiling values, there is more risk of a ceiling test write-down under U.S. GAAP. Ceiling test write-downs would not reduce Suncor's or Petro-Canada's reported cash flow.

        Data on Suncor's oil and gas reserves contained or incorporated by reference in this Information Circular has been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards and, in particular, NI 51-101, which are not comparable in all respects to United States disclosure standards. For example, the SEC currently generally permits oil and gas issuers, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves (as defined in SEC rules). Canadian securities laws require oil and gas issuers, in their filings with Canadian securities regulators, to disclose proved reserves (defined differently from SEC rules) and probable reserves and permit the disclosure of possible reserves and resources. Probable reserves are of higher risk and are generally believed to be less likely to be recovered than proved reserves. Moreover, the disclosure of Suncor's estimated future net revenue from reserves has been calculated in accordance with Canadian practices using forecast prices and costs, whereas the SEC currently requires that the prices and costs be held constant at prices in effect on the effective date of the reserves report. In addition, under Canadian practice, reserves and production are reported using gross volumes, which are volumes prior to deduction of royalty and similar payments. The practice in the United States is to

5



report reserves and production using net volumes, after deduction of applicable royalties and similar payments. Additionally, the SEC currently prohibits disclosure of oil and gas resources, whereas Canadian issuers may disclose resource volumes. Resources are different than, and should not be construed as, reserves. As a consequence, Suncor's production volumes and reserve and resource estimates in this Information Circular and the documents incorporated herein by reference are not comparable to those of United States domestic issuers subject to SEC reporting and disclosure requirements. See the section entitled "Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information" in the Suncor AIF, incorporated by reference into this Information Circular.

        For information regarding the disclosure of Petro-Canada's reserves, see "— Petro-Canada Oil and Gas Disclosure" above. In addition, although Petro-Canada formally discloses its proved reserves data using United States requirements and practices, it also voluntarily discloses probable reserves, possible reserves, resources and life-of-field production, which disclosure does not meet the SEC guidelines for SEC filings.

        The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the U.S. Securities Laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Suncor and Petro-Canada are organized or incorporated under the laws of Canada, that most of the officers and directors of Suncor and Petro-Canada are residents of countries other than the United States, that most or all of the experts named in this Information Circular are residents of countries other than the United States, and that substantial portions of the assets of Suncor and Petro-Canada are located outside the United States.

        See "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" for certain information concerning the tax consequences of the Arrangement for U.S. Holders who are United States taxpayers.

        THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE PURSUANT TO THE ARRANGEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, NOR HAS THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY SUCH STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED ON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

Currency Exchange Rates

        Suncor and Petro-Canada publish their consolidated financial statements in Canadian dollars. In this Information Circular, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars and references to "dollars", "C$" or "$" are to Canadian dollars and references to "US$" are to United States dollars.

        The following table sets forth: (i) the rates of exchange for Canadian dollars, expressed in United States dollars, in effect at the end of each of the periods indicated; (ii) the average of exchange rates in effect on the first day of each month during such periods; and (iii) the high and low exchange rates during each such periods, in each case based on these rates published on the Bank of Canada's website as being in effect at approximately noon on each trading day (the "Bank of Canada noon rate").

Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement

Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement — Suncor

Background to the Arrangement

        The Suncor Board and senior management of Suncor have regularly discussed opportunities to better realize the potential of Suncor's asset portfolio and oil sands expertise, as well as Suncor's overall position in the industry. In that regard, among other potential alternatives, Suncor had in previous years considered the possibility of strategic transactions with various industry participants, including the possibility of a strategic business combination between Suncor and Petro-Canada. In 1999, Suncor and Petro-Canada had engaged in detailed discussions related to a possible combination transaction. However, those discussions did not culminate in a merger or other business combination for a variety of reasons, including respective share valuations.

        In the fall of 2008, senior management of Suncor began to explore the possibility of pursuing a business combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada in more detail. Having concluded that, based on certain assumptions, such a combination would be beneficial to Suncor, senior management prepared its assessment of a possible merger of Suncor and Petro-Canada, including the rationale in support of such a transaction. Suncor then engaged Blakes as legal counsel to assist and provide legal advice to Suncor in connection with a potential business combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada. In November of 2008, the Chair of the Suncor Board contacted the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board, and on December 3, 2008 the Chair of the Suncor Board had a meeting with the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board with respect to the possibility of a business combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada.

        In late January 2009, the Chairs and the Chief Executive Officers of Suncor and Petro-Canada conducted preliminary discussions as to a potential business combination transaction of the two companies. On January 19, 2009, the Chair of the Suncor Board and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Suncor reported to the Suncor Board on their initial contacts and discussions with the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board and Petro-Canada's President and Chief Executive Officer, respectively. The Suncor Board authorized its Chair and President and Chief Executive Officer to continue discussions with Petro-Canada with respect to a possible business combination of the two companies. At this meeting, the Suncor Board also discussed general trends, and Suncor's overall position, in the oil and gas industry and the advisability of entering into a combination transaction with Petro-Canada, and directed Suncor senior management to retain CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley to act as financial advisors to Suncor in connection with a possible business combination or similar transaction with Petro-Canada.

        Following this meeting, the Chairs and the Chief Executive Officers of Suncor and Petro-Canada continued preliminary discussions as to the financial and other parameters of a possible business combination transaction. On February 2, 2009, the Suncor Board met with its legal and financial advisors to review certain operational and financial analysis performed by CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley and to continue to review the structure and terms of a potential transaction. Following this meeting, the Suncor Board recommended that the Suncor Chair and senior management should continue to discuss with Petro-Canada the terms of a possible combination transaction, and the Chair of the Suncor Board contacted the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board to communicate Suncor's interest in continuing discussions in that regard. On February 3, 2009, the financial advisors of Suncor and Petro-Canada met to review the potential financial parameters of such a business combination transaction.

        On February 4, 2009, Petro-Canada and Suncor entered into the Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to which they agreed to permit each other access to certain confidential information that would be relevant to a potential business combination, and the parties held a meeting regarding a possible business combination transaction. The management representatives reviewed the businesses of both companies and discussed the inherent value available from a potential combination of these businesses. Subsequent discussions were held by the Chairs and management of Petro-Canada and Suncor, with the support of their respective financial and legal advisors, in connection with the possible financial parameters and structure of a business combination. On March 9, 2009, representatives of Suncor and Petro-Canada reviewed the financial parameters and structure of a business combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada and concluded that there was sufficient common ground to continue the discussions. On March 12, 2009, the Chairs of Suncor and Petro-Canada met and agreed to pursue negotiation of a potential transaction between the parties based on an indicative share exchange ratio, subject to confirmatory due diligence and agreement between the parties with respect to the terms of a definitive transaction agreement.

        On March 15, 2009, Suncor and Petro-Canada entered into an agreement to negotiate exclusively with each other until April 15, 2009 regarding a possible transaction. On March 16, 2009, the Suncor Board met again with its financial and legal advisors to receive updated financial and legal advice regarding the terms of a potential transaction, including preliminary terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the impact of such a transaction on Suncor Shareholders and other stakeholders. At this meeting, CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley presented their financial analysis of the potential transaction to the Suncor Board. The Suncor Board thoroughly considered the pertinent issues and reviewed the terms of the proposed transaction, including the preliminary terms of the Arrangement Agreement, with CIBC World Markets, Morgan Stanley and Blakes. Blakes provided the Suncor Board with legal advice as to the legal and fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Suncor Board in evaluating the proposed transaction. Following the review, the Suncor Board authorized management to pursue the negotiation of a business combination transaction at the indicative share exchange ratio presented to the Suncor Board at such meeting.

        Over the next week, the parties, together with their respective financial and legal advisors, continued negotiations of the terms of a possible transaction and the Arrangement Agreement. Each of Suncor and Petro-Canada conducted a review of confidential non-public data of the other to the extent permitted under applicable Law and the terms of any confidentiality provisions with a view to negotiating the terms of a business combination. Each party's review included extensive due diligence of the other and its assets, including with

17



respect to potential synergies, capital structure, operations, reserves, environmental, financial, accounting, tax, labour, pension, benefits, compensation and corporate matters. The parties also reviewed in depth the implications of the Petro-Canada Act and the preferred structure to deal with such implications. Each of Suncor and Petro-Canada met with members of management of the other and had access to the technical teams of the other during the course of its review. A meeting of the Suncor Board was scheduled for March 22, 2009 to consider the potential transaction.

        The Suncor Board met on Sunday, March 22, 2009 to review and consider the specific transaction terms that had been negotiated, the merits to Suncor of entering into such a transaction and the proposed final terms of the Arrangement Agreement that resulted from the negotiations with Petro-Canada. At this meeting, CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley delivered their verbal opinions that, as of March 22, 2009, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, explanations, qualifications and limitations set forth in their respective opinions, the Suncor Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Suncor Shareholders. CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley subsequently delivered their written opinions dated March 22, 2009 addressed to the Suncor Board, which are contained in Appendix D-1 and Appendix D-2, respectively, to this Information Circular. Blakes reviewed the material terms of the proposed Arrangement Agreement with the Suncor Board and advised the Suncor Board on the resolution of the final matters under negotiation and reiterated their fiduciary duties and responsibilities with respect to the proposed transaction. Management presented a summary of the due diligence work that had been completed. The Suncor Board reviewed the negotiation process with management and discussed the proposed final terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the verbal fairness opinions of CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley. After the Suncor Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the verbal fairness opinions of CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley and the impact of the proposed transaction on the various stakeholders of Suncor, the Suncor Board authorized and approved the execution and delivery of the Arrangement Agreement by Suncor, determined that the Arrangement is fair to Suncor Shareholders, is in the best interests of Suncor and recommended that Suncor Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement. The Chair of the Suncor Board, Mr. John T. Ferguson, abstained from voting in light of his position as a director of the Royal Bank of Canada, the parent company of RBC Capital Markets, one of Petro-Canada's financial advisors in connection with the Arrangement. Following the meeting, Suncor and Petro-Canada signed the Arrangement Agreement. Suncor and Petro-Canada issued a joint press release announcing the Arrangement prior to the opening of the markets on Monday, March 23, 2009.

        The Suncor Board met on April 27, 2009 to, among other things, review the terms of the amended Plan of Arrangement (as reflected in Schedule 1.1(a) to the Arrangement Agreement, which is attached as Appendix C to this Information Circular), this Information Circular and various other matters relating to the Arrangement and the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting. In particular, at this meeting it was proposed that the Plan of Arrangement be amended to, among other things, include additional steps and transactions that are structured so that (a) Suncor Shareholders who are individuals resident in Canada may be able to effect a realization of a capital gain (or a capital loss) for Canadian federal income tax purposes upon the proposed Arrangement being effected, and (b) any person, together with any associates of that person, who hold, beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, otherwise than by way of security only, in the aggregate more than 20% of the outstanding Amalco Shares immediately after the Effective Time shall be prohibited from exercising certain rights associated with any of the Amalco Shares that exceed such 20% threshold. At this meeting, the Suncor Board resolved to approve the contents of this Information Circular and the mailing of it to the Suncor Shareholders, the amended Plan of Arrangement and various other matters relating to the proposed Arrangement and the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting, and confirmed its recommendation that Suncor Shareholders vote in favour of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution. Mr. John T. Ferguson, the Chair of the Suncor Board, abstained from confirming such recommendation for the reasons described above.

Reasons for the Arrangement

        Following receipt of the advice and assistance of the financial advisors and legal counsel, the Suncor Board carefully evaluated the terms of the proposed Arrangement, and (with the Chair of the Suncor Board abstaining due to a potential conflict of interest): (a) determined that the Arrangement is fair to Suncor Shareholders;

18



(b) determined that the Arrangement and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement are in the best interests of Suncor; (c) approved the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement; and (d) resolved to recommend that Suncor Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement. In reaching these determinations and making these approvals the Suncor Board considered, among other things (including those matters described under "— Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement"), the following factors and potential benefits and risks of the Arrangement:

    Suncor Shareholders will continue to participate in the growth opportunities associated with Amalco, as the combined corporation is anticipated to be a larger, stronger and more efficient company;

    CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley provided opinions, the full text of which can be found at Appendices D-1 and D-2 to this Information Circular, respectively, that, as of March 22, 2009, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, explanations, qualifications and limitations set forth in their respective opinions, the Suncor Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Suncor Shareholders. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Suncor Fairness Opinions";

    the exchange of Suncor Shares for Amalco Shares will generally be tax-deferred for Suncor Shareholders;

    under the Arrangement Agreement, until the time that the Suncor Arrangement Resolution is approved, the Suncor Board retains the ability to consider and respond to Superior Proposals on the specific terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement;

    at least 662/3% of the votes cast by Suncor Shareholders at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting are required to approve the Arrangement Resolution. Accordingly, Suncor Shareholders are able to reject the Arrangement Resolution if they choose to do so;

    the Suncor Shareholders have the ability to exercise their Dissent Rights; and

    the Arrangement requires approval by the Court.

        The information and factors described above and considered by the Suncor Board in reaching its determinations and making its approvals are not intended to be exhaustive but include material factors considered by the Suncor Board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Arrangement and the complexity of these matters, the Suncor Board did not find it useful to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In addition, individual members of the Suncor Board may have given different weight to different factors.

Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement — Petro-Canada

Background to the Arrangement

        Management of Petro-Canada and the Petro-Canada Board regularly review the strategic objectives and opportunities available to Petro-Canada as part of their ongoing responsibilities and activities to enhance the value of Petro-Canada. In the context of this ongoing review, Petro-Canada has considered opportunities involving various parties and held exploratory conversations with a number of companies. Exploratory discussions have been held with Suncor from time to time over the years as far back as 1999. The detailed discussions held in 1999 between Petro-Canada and Suncor did not culminate in a merger or other business combination for a variety of reasons, including respective share valuations.

        In January 2008, a number of circumstances and developments in respect of Petro-Canada's business led to discussions by the Petro-Canada Board regarding various alternative strategic courses of action. These circumstances and developments included the fact that the Petro-Canada Board had been of the view for some time that the Petro-Canada Shares were trading at prices that did not reflect Petro-Canada's underlying value.

        To provide further support regarding the analysis of Petro-Canada's undervaluation and strategic alternatives, Petro-Canada engaged RBC Dominion Securities to assist and provide a broad range of financial advisory services. Such services included RBC Dominion Securities providing its views and perspectives regarding potential business combinations with a range of energy companies. Subsequently, management, with the assistance of RBC Dominion Securities, reviewed a broad range of alternative strategic courses of action

19



available to Petro-Canada, including potential business combination partners and the sale or spin-off of certain assets of Petro-Canada.

        In March 2008, Petro-Canada management presented to the Petro-Canada Board an outline of alternatives to deal with the undervaluation of Petro-Canada and suggested certain steps that the Petro-Canada Board might consider to better define a course of action.

        In April 2008, based on the work undertaken to date, management advised the Petro-Canada Board that a business combination with an energy company would be a viable strategic course of action and further information and analysis would be required in connection with a potential sale or spin-off of certain assets of Petro-Canada. As part of the review of alternative strategic courses of action, management, with the assistance of RBC Dominion Securities, conducted a review of a broad number of third parties that could have a potential strategic fit with Petro-Canada and might reasonably be expected to be interested in pursuing a merger with, or acquisition of, Petro-Canada. RBC Dominion Securities considered a significant number of publicly traded energy companies as potential transaction candidates and after a review of such companies, RBC Dominion Securities advised the Petro-Canada Board that a small number of energy companies were identified as potential transaction candidates that could potentially provide significant value to Petro-Canada Shareholders and strategic benefits to Petro-Canada. Suncor was identified as an attractive combination partner for Petro-Canada from a strategic and value creation perspective.

        In July 2008, management received a communication from an institutional shareholder regarding its concerns with Petro-Canada's corporate strategy and suggestions for change. The principal concern expressed by this shareholder was that from such shareholder's perspective the returns from an investment in Petro-Canada have historically been unacceptably low in comparison to its peers. The Petro-Canada Board and management considered and evaluated the proposals of this shareholder, and concluded that the proposed measures may yield short term valuation gains, but did not necessarily address the longer-term improvements in valuation and the strategic benefits that Petro-Canada was pursuing.

        In September 2008, the Petro-Canada Board held its regular annual strategic planning session. The Petro-Canada Board and management continued discussing the persistent undervaluation of the Petro-Canada Shares and opportunities to deliver value to Petro-Canada and its shareholders through alternative strategic courses of action. The Petro-Canada Board determined that more work should be done to analyze the value creation opportunities available through a business combination with any of the possible transaction candidates that had been identified. Deutsche Bank was subsequently engaged by Petro-Canada to act as a joint advisor.

        At a meeting held on October 22 and 23, 2008, the Petro-Canada Board received updates from management on the work performed by management, RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank and the merits of various alternative strategic courses of action under consideration. These financial advisors reviewed a range of alternative strategic courses of action to address the perceived valuation gap between the trading value of Petro-Canada and its underlying fundamental value. RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank identified a small number of energy companies that such financial advisors characterized as potentially attractive business combination partners from both a strategic and value creation perspective, and the Petro-Canada Board was advised that a transaction executed by way of a share exchange with any of these companies, on certain terms, could provide strategic benefits to Petro-Canada and enhance near and long-term value for Petro-Canada Shareholders. A business combination with Suncor was again identified as potentially providing attractive benefits from a strategic and value creation perspective.

        Subsequently, in November 2008, management received a communication from a second significant institutional shareholder regarding its concerns with Petro-Canada's corporate strategy. The principal concern expressed by this shareholder was similar to the concern that had been raised by the other shareholder in July 2008, being that from such shareholder's perspective the returns from an investment in Petro-Canada had historically been unacceptably low in comparison to its peers. This shareholder provided an analysis of performance and a recommended course of action to be undertaken by Petro-Canada.

        Independent of the review process undertaken by Petro-Canada and following contact initiated by the Chair of the Suncor Board in November 2008, the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board had a meeting with the Chair of

20


the Suncor Board on December 3, 2008 with respect to the possibility of a business combination of Petro-Canada and Suncor.

        Petro-Canada directed RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank to focus their review on a business combination with Suncor, and assess the merits of such a transaction relative to other strategic alternatives. Petro-Canada engaged Macleod Dixon to assist and provide legal advice to Petro-Canada in connection with any proposed business combination. Petro-Canada also engaged Torys LLP, who previously had advised Petro-Canada on the application of the Petro-Canada Act, to provide assistance regarding that legislation and its impact on the structure of a possible transaction.

        Through the fall of 2008, the Petro-Canada Board held a number of meetings in their review of the strategic direction of Petro-Canada and in connection with a potential business combination. A number of these meetings were held with and without management and with and without RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank.

        At a meeting held on December 9 and 10, 2008, the Petro-Canada Board received updates from management, RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank on the work performed and the merits of various alternative strategic courses of action under consideration. These discussions included a thorough review of the recommendations made by institutional shareholders based on internal analysis and the financial advisors' views of the likely market reaction to those recommended alternatives. In looking at the business combination alternatives, the Petro-Canada Board considered a number of factors including financial accretion, strategic fit, culture, size and scale, operational and capital synergies and the implications of the Petro-Canada Act. The Petro-Canada Board was advised by RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank that a business combination with Suncor had the potential to provide the greatest value creation, based on certain assumptions and transaction terms. The Petro-Canada Board was further advised that such a business combination had the potential to create a stronger corporation with larger size and scale, a strong credit profile and the ability to fund future growth opportunities. RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank further advised that such a business combination under certain assumptions, would be superior to any other strategic alternative course of action that was currently available to Petro-Canada, including the status quo.

        On December 10, 2008, the Petro-Canada Board formed an independent committee (the "Independent Review Committee"). The Independent Review Committee was comprised of Paul Melnuk (Chair), Paul Haseldonckx, Daniel Valot and Jim Simpson, together with the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board in an ex-officio non-voting capacity. All members of the Independent Review Committee were and are non-management directors of Petro-Canada. The Independent Review Committee was formed by the Petro-Canada Board with the mandate to review the considerations and recommendations of management and Petro-Canada's financial and legal advisors within the alternative strategic courses of action that had been identified and considered by them. The Independent Review Committee retained financial and legal advisors to assist it in its review and analysis. The Independent Review Committee met formally four times during December 2008 and January 2009 to consider, and provide direction to, the review of alternative strategic courses of action. Although members of management were present at the meetings, the Independent Review Committee also met without management present at each meeting. Members of the Independent Review Committee also met informally and spoke with management and its advisors regarding the process between formal meetings.

        At a meeting of the Petro-Canada Board held on January 16 and 17, 2009, RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank provided the Petro-Canada Board with a detailed financial analysis regarding business combinations with a short list of potential business combination partners and other alternative strategic courses of action available to Petro-Canada. At this meeting, Macleod Dixon also advised the Petro-Canada Board of its duties and responsibilities in the context of a potential business combination transaction and its consideration of other alternative strategic courses of action. Management of Petro-Canada thoroughly reviewed the status, merits and challenges of a possible transaction with these potential combination partners, the other alternatives arising out of the process conducted by Petro-Canada and the continuation of Petro-Canada's business plan. At this meeting, Mr. Melnuk, Chair of the Independent Review Committee, confirmed to the Petro-Canada Board that the Independent Review Committee had completed its mandate and had conducted a thorough review of the work undertaken by management and the financial advisors of Petro-Canada. The Independent Review Committee concluded that, on the basis of its review and the alternative strategic courses of action presented by

21



management, it appeared that Petro-Canada's best alternative would be to pursue a business combination with a third party. The Petro-Canada Board reviewed the alternative strategic courses of action available to Petro-Canada and after extensive deliberation including a review of the report of the Independent Review Committee, instructed the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Petro-Canada to respond to the approach made by Suncor and enter into discussions for the purpose of determining whether a business combination with Suncor would be possible.

        In late January 2009, the Chairs and Chief Executive Officers of Petro-Canada and Suncor continued preliminary discussions as to the financial and other parameters of a possible business combination transaction. The financial advisors of Petro-Canada and Suncor also met to review the financial parameters of such a business combination transaction.

        On February 4, 2009, Petro-Canada and Suncor entered into the Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to which they agreed to permit each other access to certain confidential information that would be relevant to a potential business combination, and the parties held a meeting regarding a possible business combination transaction. The management representatives reviewed the businesses of both companies and discussed the inherent value available from a potential combination of these businesses. Subsequent discussions were held by the Chairs and management of Petro-Canada and Suncor, with the support of their respective financial and legal advisors, in connection with the possible financial parameters and structure of a business combination. On March 9, 2009 representatives of Petro-Canada and Suncor reviewed the financial parameters and structure of a business combination of Petro-Canada and Suncor and concluded that there was sufficient common ground to continue the discussions.

        At a meeting of the Petro-Canada Board held on March 12, 2009, the directors received advice from RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank as to the merits and challenges associated with a possible business combination of Petro-Canada and Suncor, and Macleod Dixon further briefed the directors of Petro-Canada on their legal duties and responsibilities in evaluating such a transaction and in considering alternative strategic courses of action. After a thorough consideration of the pertinent issues, the Petro-Canada Board authorized management to pursue the negotiation of a business combination transaction pursuant to which Petro-Canada Shareholders would receive common shares in the combined corporation at a share exchange ratio that was within the range presented to the Petro-Canada Board at such meeting. Following the meeting, the Chairs of Petro-Canada and Suncor met and agreed to pursue negotiation of a potential transaction between the parties based on an indicative share exchange ratio, subject to confirmatory due diligence and agreement between the parties with respect to the terms of a definitive transaction agreement.

        On March 15, 2009, Petro-Canada and Suncor entered into an agreement to negotiate exclusively with each other for a period ending on April 15, 2009 regarding a possible transaction. The parties, together with their respective financial and legal advisors, continued negotiations of the terms of a possible transaction and the Arrangement Agreement. Over the next week, each of Petro-Canada and Suncor conducted a review of confidential non-public data of the other to the extent permitted under applicable Law and the terms of any confidentiality provisions with a view to negotiating the terms of a business combination. Each party's review included extensive due diligence of the other and its assets, including with respect to potential synergies, capital structure, operations, reserves, environmental, financial, accounting, tax, labour, pension, benefits, compensation and corporate matters. The parties also reviewed in depth the implications of the Petro-Canada Act and the preferred structure to deal with such implications. Each of Petro-Canada and Suncor met with members of management of the other and had access to the technical teams of the other during the course of its review.

        The Petro-Canada Board met again on March 22, 2009 to review and consider the specific transaction terms that had been negotiated, the merits to Petro-Canada of entering into such a transaction and the proposed Arrangement Agreement that resulted from the negotiations with Suncor. RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank provided their respective verbal opinions to the Petro-Canada Board that, as of the date of their respective opinions and subject to and based on customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations, the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Petro-Canada Shareholders. RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank subsequently delivered their written

22



opinions dated March 22, 2009 addressed to the Petro-Canada Board which are contained in Appendices E-1 and E-2, respectively, to this Information Circular. Macleod Dixon presented to the Petro-Canada Board the material terms of the proposed Arrangement Agreement, advised the Petro-Canada Board on the resolution of the final matters under negotiation and their fiduciary duties and responsibilities with respect to the proposed transaction. Management presented a summary of the due diligence work that had been completed. The Petro-Canada Board reviewed the negotiation process with management, discussed the further changes to the Arrangement Agreement and the verbal fairness opinions of RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank. After the Petro-Canada Board considered, among other things, the review of alternative strategic courses of action that had been conducted, the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the verbal fairness opinions of RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank and the impact of the proposed transaction on the various stakeholders of Petro-Canada, the Petro-Canada Board resolved to authorize Petro-Canada to enter into the Arrangement Agreement. Ten of the twelve directors voted in favour of such resolution and two of the twelve directors voted against such resolution. Following the meeting, Petro-Canada and Suncor signed the Arrangement Agreement. Petro-Canada and Suncor issued a joint press release announcing the Arrangement prior to the opening of the markets on Monday, March 23, 2009.

        On April 27, 2009, eleven of the twelve directors of the Petro-Canada Board met and considered the terms of the amended Plan of Arrangement (as reflected in Schedule 1.1(a) to the Arrangement Agreement, which is attached as Appendix C to this Information Circular), this Information Circular and various other matters relating to the proposed Arrangement and the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting. In particular, at this meeting it was proposed that the Plan of Arrangement be amended to, among other things, include additional steps and transactions that are structured so that (a) Petro-Canada Shareholders who are individuals resident in Canada may be able to effect a realization of a capital gain (or a capital loss) for Canadian federal income tax purposes upon the proposed Arrangement being effected; and (b) any person, together with any associates of that person, who hold, beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, otherwise than by way of security only, in the aggregate more than 20% of the outstanding Amalco Shares immediately after the Effective Time shall be prohibited from exercising certain rights associated with any of the Amalco Shares that exceed such 20% threshold. At this meeting, the directors unanimously resolved to approve the amendments to the Plan of Arrangement, the contents of this Information Circular and the mailing of it to the Petro-Canada Shareholders and various other matters relating to the proposed Arrangement and the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting.

Reasons for the Arrangement

        Following receipt of the advice and assistance of the financial advisors and legal counsel, the Petro-Canada Board carefully evaluated the terms of the proposed Arrangement, and ten of the twelve directors (with two directors voting against) at a meeting of Petro-Canada Board held on March 22, 2009: (a) determined that the Arrangement is fair to Petro-Canada Shareholders; (b) determined that the Arrangement and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement are in the best interests of Petro-Canada; (c) approved the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement; and (d) resolved to recommend that Petro-Canada Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement. In reaching these determinations and approvals the Petro-Canada Board considered, among other things (including those matters described under "— Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement"), the following factors and potential benefits and risks of the Arrangement:

    the Arrangement is the preferred transaction available to Petro-Canada and the Petro-Canada Shareholders following an extensive and thorough review of alternative strategic courses of action conducted by Petro-Canada, which included advice from RBC Dominion Securities, Deutsche Bank and Macleod Dixon and extensive contacts and discussions with third parties;

    the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio represents an approximately 25% premium for the Petro-Canada Shares to the 30-day weighted-average trading price of such shares immediately prior to the announcement of the Arrangement;

    Petro-Canada Shareholders will be able to continue to participate in the growth opportunities associated with Amalco, as the combined corporation is anticipated to be a larger, stronger and more efficient company;

23


    RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank provided opinions, the full text of which can be found at Appendices E-1 and E-2 to this Information Circular, respectively, that, as of March 22, 2009 and subject to certain assumptions, qualifications and limitations, the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio to be received by Petro-Canada Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Petro-Canada Shareholders. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Petro-Canada Fairness Opinions";

    the exchange of Petro-Canada Shares for Amalco Shares will generally be tax-deferred for Petro-Canada Shareholders;

    under the Arrangement Agreement, until the time that the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution is approved, the Petro-Canada Board retains the ability to consider and respond to Superior Proposals on the specific terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement;

    at least 662/3% of the votes cast by Petro-Canada Shareholders at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting are required to approve the Arrangement Resolution. Accordingly, Petro-Canada Shareholders are able to reject the Arrangement Resolution if they choose to do so;

    the Petro-Canada Shareholders have the ability to exercise their Dissent Rights; and

    the Arrangement requires approval by the Court.

        The information and factors described above and considered by the Petro-Canada Board in reaching its determinations and making its approvals are not intended to be exhaustive but include material factors considered by the Petro-Canada Board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Arrangement and the complexity of these matters, the Petro-Canada Board did not find it useful to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In addition, individual members of the Petro-Canada Board may have given different weight to different factors.

Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement

        Suncor and Petro-Canada believe that the combination of the two companies will create a globally competitive integrated energy company with a balanced portfolio of high quality assets, a strong balance sheet and significant growth prospects. There is a risk that Suncor and Petro-Canada may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement".

Premier Canadian Integrated Energy Company

        The combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada will create the fifth largest energy company in North America (based on the current combined market capitalization of Suncor and Petro-Canada) with a total market capitalization of approximately $46.7 billion (based on the combined market capitalization of Suncor and Petro-Canada at April 27, 2009). The combined company is expected to benefit from an integrated business model which will encompass a global leadership position in the oil sands industry, a strong Canadian downstream brand and an attractive portfolio of domestic and international conventional oil and natural gas assets.

Expanded Scale

        Suncor and Petro-Canada anticipate that the combined company will have a market presence and the available resources that will allow it to compete on a global scale. In addition to approximately 7.5 billion boe of proved plus probable reserves, the combined company will have an estimated contingent resource base of approximately 19 billion boe. See "Joint Information Circular and Proxy Statement — Disclosure of Combined Reserves and Resources" and "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Selected Combined Operational Information for Amalco".

        Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that the combined company will benefit from the balance and stability provided by a larger portfolio of oil sands, downstream and conventional upstream projects and assets at various stages of development. They believe the increased scale of the combined company will better enable it to achieve growth and accelerate the development of larger projects through a range of commodity price cycles. Suncor and

24



Petro-Canada also believe the combined company will have the size and technical capabilities to better manage the challenges associated with developing large-scale projects.

Balanced Portfolio of High Quality Assets

        The combined company will have an attractive combination of long-life and cash flow generating assets with developmental upside. Suncor and Petro-Canada believe that the combined company will have strong cash flow from current crude oil and natural gas production of approximately 683,000 boe per day (based on average daily production for the year ended December 31, 2008) and North American refining capacity of approximately 433,000 bbls per day. See "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Selected Combined Operational Information for Amalco". The combined company is expected to have a portfolio of assets that will provide strong growth potential as well as the ability to generate strong underlying cash flow through a range of commodity price cycles. The combined company will also be a leading branded gasoline retailer in Canada.

Enhanced Growth Prospects

        Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that the proposed combination will offer Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders the benefit of the quantity and diversity of Suncor's and Petro-Canada's respective development projects. In addition, Suncor and Petro-Canada anticipate that the proposed combination will enable the combined company to accelerate certain development projects.

        The asset growth profiles of Suncor and Petro-Canada are complementary. Suncor brings near-term growth potential from phases 3 and 4 of its Firebag project, and medium-term and long-term growth potential from phases 5 and 6 of its Firebag project, its Voyageur Upgrader project and its Voyageur South mine expansion, subject to receiving required regulatory approvals. Petro-Canada brings near-term growth potential from the White Rose extensions, its Syria gas project and Libya development program, and medium-term and long-term growth potential from its Fort Hills project, MacKay River expansion project and Lewis and Meadow Creek in-situ leases. Suncor and Petro-Canada also anticipate that the combined company will have additional growth potential from its Canadian East Coast assets, downstream operations, renewable energy programs and international conventional assets.

        Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that the strong pro forma balance sheet and financial flexibility of the combined company, as described below, will facilitate further expansion and increase the efficiencies of developing their respective projects. Suncor and Petro-Canada expect the combined company to enhance the development of individual growth projects through improved control of project sequencing and capital allocation, as the projects with the highest potential to generate near-term cash flows, combined with the strongest expected return on capital, will get priority.

Significant Benefits from Synergies

        Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that the combined company will deliver significant cost savings through substantial operating synergies. Suncor and Petro-Canada expect the cost savings to come from optimizing business practices, improving logistics and realizing efficiencies in overlapping operations. In addition, Suncor and Petro-Canada expect the combined company to benefit from significant capital efficiencies through capital reallocation opportunities, including through improved project design and sequencing, the elimination of redundant spending and by targeting capital budgets to projects with the highest priorities. Equally important, but less quantifiable anticipated benefits include balancing of short/long commodity positions, application of project and operating experience to a broader pool of assets and improved use of infrastructure.

Experienced Leadership

        The leadership team of the combined entity will draw upon extensive strategic, operating and financial experience from both organizations with a continued focus on creating shareholder value.

25


Strong Financial Position

        Suncor and Petro-Canada believe that the combined company will have a strong credit profile, with pro forma debt-to-capitalization of approximately 30% and a debt-to-cash flow from operations ratio of approximately 1.3 times, providing significant financial flexibility. Suncor and Petro-Canada believe that this financial flexibility will position the combined company to succeed through various business and commodity cycles.

        See "Part I — The Arrangement — Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement".

Recommendations of the Suncor Board

        After considering, among other things, the Suncor Fairness Opinions, the Suncor Board concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Suncor and is fair to Suncor Shareholders and authorized the entry by Suncor into the Arrangement Agreement and all related agreements. The Suncor Board recommends that the Suncor Shareholders vote in favour of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution.

        In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendations, the Suncor Board considered a number of factors, including the Suncor Fairness Opinions, the expected benefits of the Arrangement and the risks associated with completing the Arrangement.

        The discussion of the information and factors considered and given weight by the Suncor Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In reaching the determination to approve and recommend the Suncor Arrangement Resolution, the Suncor Board did not assign any relative or specific weight to the factors that were considered, and individual directors may have given a different weight to each factor.

Recommendations of the Petro-Canada Board

        After considering, among other things, the Petro-Canada Fairness Opinions, the Petro-Canada Board concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Petro-Canada and is fair to Petro-Canada Shareholders and authorized the entry by Petro-Canada into the Arrangement Agreement and all related agreements. The Petro-Canada Board recommends that the Petro-Canada Shareholders vote in favour of the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution.

        In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendations, the Petro-Canada Board considered a number of factors, including the Petro-Canada Fairness Opinions, the expected benefits of the Arrangement and the risks associated with completing the Arrangement.

        The discussion of the information and factors considered and given weight by the Petro-Canada Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In reaching the determination to approve and recommend the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, the Petro-Canada Board did not assign any relative or specific weight to the factors that were considered, and individual directors may have given a different weight to each factor.

Effect of the Arrangement

General

        Pursuant to the Arrangement, Suncor and Petro-Canada will amalgamate and continue as one company named "Suncor Energy Inc." Immediately following completion of the Arrangement, former Petro-Canada Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 40% of the combined company and former Suncor Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 60% of the combined company.

Effect on Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders

        Pursuant to the Arrangement, Suncor Shareholders will receive, for each Suncor Share held, one Amalco Share and Petro-Canada Shareholders will receive, for each Petro-Canada Share held, 1.28 Amalco Shares. After giving effect to the Arrangement, all Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders will have exchanged their Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, for Amalco Shares. In addition, the

26



Suncor Shareholder Rights Plan shall terminate and cease to have any further force or effect at the Effective Time and all rights outstanding under the Shareholder Rights Plan shall be cancelled. As a result of such exchanges pursuant to the Arrangement, the nature of a Suncor Shareholder's and Petro-Canada Shareholder's investment will change. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement".

        Subject to the qualifications set forth in the sections entitled "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations", the exchange of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement should generally not give rise to any capital gain or capital loss to Shareholders under Canadian or United States federal income tax laws. Eligible Shareholders, holding up to a maximum of 15% of the outstanding Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, may, however, elect to have the exchange of their Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement carried out in such a manner that may allow such Shareholders to realize a capital gain or a capital loss for Canadian federal income tax purposes by making such election in the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form on or before the Election Deadline. The 15% thresholds were determined by Suncor and Petro-Canada having regard to the Petro-Canada Act and other structural limitations that were considered in connection with the Arrangement. For additional information, see "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this Summary and "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations", "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Part I — The Arrangement — Procedure For Exchange of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares and Election by Eligible Shareholders" in the Information Circular.

        If, as a result of the Arrangement, a Shareholder would receive a number of Amalco Shares that would result in a contravention of the Individual Share Constraint, Amalco shall take certain steps pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, including not issuing shares to such Shareholder in excess of the Individual Share Constraint and selling or redeeming such excess Amalco Shares in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, to ensure that there is not a violation of the Individual Share Constraint. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Details of the Arrangement — Share Capital of Amalco — Restrictions in the Amalco Articles". This Information Circular does not address the Canadian or United States federal income tax considerations applicable to such a Shareholder pursuant to the Arrangement or upon the taking of such steps with respect to the excess Amalco Shares. The taking of such steps (by Amalco or otherwise) with respect to any excess Amalco Shares may have material tax consequences to such a Shareholder, and any such Shareholder should consult its own tax advisor to determine the tax consequences to them of the Arrangement and the taking of such steps with respect to the excess Amalco Shares.

        See also "Part I — The Arrangement — Effect of the Arrangement — Effect on Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders", "Part I — The Arrangement — Details of the Arrangement — Arrangement Steps" and "Part I — The Arrangement — Details of the Arrangement — Share Capital of Amalco".

Effect on Holders of Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options and Awards under Non-Equity Based Compensation Plans and Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan

        Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement: (a) each Suncor Option will be exchanged, at the Effective Time, for a Replacement Option to purchase that number of Amalco Shares equal to the product of the Suncor Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Suncor Shares subject to such Suncor Option with an exercise price per Amalco Share equal to the exercise price per Suncor Share subject to such Suncor Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Suncor Exchange Ratio. As the Suncor Exchange Ratio is 1.00 Amalco Shares for each Suncor Share, in effect, no adjustment will be made to the number of Suncor Shares underlying the Suncor Options or the exercise price of such Suncor Options; and (b) each Petro-Canada Option will be exchanged, at the Effective Time, for a Replacement Option to purchase that number of Amalco Shares equal to the product of the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Petro-Canada Shares subject to such Petro-Canada Option with an exercise price per Amalco Share equal to the exercise price per Petro-Canada Share subject to such Petro-Canada Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest penny.

27


        Corresponding adjustments will also be made to awards outstanding under Suncor and Petro-Canada non-equity based compensation plans (for instance stock appreciation rights, performance stock units and deferred stock units). All other terms and conditions of such options and awards will be the same as existed prior to such exchange or adjustment, as adjusted to reflect the Arrangement. For greater certainty, Replacement Options will not be granted pursuant to the Amalco Stock Option Plan, but rather will be existing Suncor Options and Petro-Canada Options as adjusted to take into account the effect of the Arrangement.

        For further information with respect to the Suncor Stock Option Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan and the other non-equity based compensation plans of Suncor and Petro-Canada, see Appendix H and Appendix I to this Information Circular, respectively. See also "Part I — The Arrangement — Effect of the Arrangement — Effect on Holders of Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options and Awards under Non-Equity Based Compensation Plans and Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan".

        At the Meetings, the Suncor Shareholders and the Petro-Canada Shareholders will each be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass an ordinary resolution to approve the adoption by Amalco of the Amalco Stock Option Plan, conditional on the Arrangement becoming effective. Provided that the adoption of the Amalco Stock Option Plan is approved by the Suncor Shareholders and the Petro-Canada Shareholders as required, Suncor and Petro-Canada do not intend to make further grants of options under the Suncor Option Plans and Petro-Canada Option Plan following completion of the Arrangement. For additional information on the Amalco Stock Option Plan and related matters and the forms of such ordinary resolutions, see "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan" and Appendix K, "Form of Amalco Stock Option Plan".

Change of Control Provisions

        The Arrangement will not result in a "change of control" or any other form of accelerated payment or vesting for the purposes of any employment or consulting services agreement, or any incentive, bonus or similar plan applicable to Suncor, Petro-Canada or their respective directors, officers and employees, including for the purposes of the Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options or pursuant to the plans or agreements in respect thereof. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Effect of the Arrangement — Change of Control Provisions".

Details of the Arrangement

General

        The Arrangement will result in the amalgamation of Suncor and Petro-Canada (together with certain of their Subsidiaries) to form Amalco, pursuant to which all of the issued and outstanding Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares (other than those held by Dissenting Shareholders) will be exchanged for Amalco Shares. For further information in respect of Amalco following the completion of the Arrangement, see "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement" and Appendix F, "Amalco Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements".

Arrangement Steps

        The Arrangement involves a number of steps, which will be deemed to occur sequentially commencing at the Effective Time without any further act or formality. The Arrangement will result in the amalgamation of Suncor and Petro-Canada (together with certain of their Subsidiaries) under the CBCA and their continuation as Amalco, as a result of which former Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will hold Amalco Shares following completion of the Arrangement. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Details of the Arrangement — Arrangement Steps". The full text of the Plan of Arrangement is attached as Schedule 1.1(a) to the Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix C to this Information Circular.

Restrictions on Ownership and Voting of Amalco Shares

        As required by the Petro-Canada Act, the current articles of Petro-Canada impose restrictions on the number of Petro-Canada Shares that a shareholder may own, control or vote, and provide Petro-Canada and its directors with powers to enforce these restrictions, including the ability to suspend voting rights, forfeit dividends and compel the sale of Petro-Canada Shares. As the Petro-Canada Act will apply to Amalco following the completion of the Arrangement, the Articles of Arrangement of Amalco will contain similar provisions with respect to Amalco Shares. These provisions will apply to Amalco Shares until such time that the Petro-Canada Act (or the applicable provisions thereof) is repealed by the Government of Canada. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Details of the Arrangement — Share Capital of Amalco" and "Part I — The Arrangement — Details of the Arrangement — Restrictions in the Amalco Articles".

Directors and Executive Officers of Amalco Following the Arrangement

        Following the Arrangement, Mr. Richard L. George, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Suncor, will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Amalco, Mr. John T. Ferguson, the current Chairman of Suncor, will serve as Chairman of Amalco, and Mr. Ron A. Brenneman, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Petro-Canada, will serve as Executive Vice-Chairman of Amalco. The proposed Board of Directors of Amalco will consist of eight current members of the Suncor Board (including Messrs. George and Ferguson) and four current members of the Petro-Canada Board. Messrs. George and Brenneman will be joined on the executive team by a combination of current Suncor and Petro-Canada executive officers. See "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Directors and Executive Officers of Amalco Upon Completion of the Arrangement".

Auditors of Amalco

        The Plan of Arrangement provides that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Independent Registered Chartered Accountants, the current auditors of Suncor, will be the auditors of Amalco following the completion of the Arrangement.

Procedure for Exchange of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares and Election by Eligible Shareholders

        In order to receive Amalco Shares on the completion of the Arrangement, Registered Holders of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares must deposit with the Depositary (at one of the addresses which will be specified on the last page of the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form) the applicable validly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form together with the certificates representing the Registered Holder's Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, and such other documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require.

        Eligible Shareholders electing to have the exchange of their Shares for Amalco Shares carried out in such a manner that may allow such Shareholders to realize a capital gain or a capital loss for Canadian federal income tax purposes may do so by making such election in the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form on or before the Election Deadline which will be specified in the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form. To the extent that such elections are made in respect of greater than 15% of the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, the number of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, in respect of which such elections were made will be prorated among all Suncor Electing Shareholders or Petro-Canada Electing Shareholders, as applicable, such that the aggregate number of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, in respect of which such elections are permitted to be made is equal to 15% of the outstanding Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, and the remainder of such Shares shall be converted to Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and such conversion will generally occur on a tax-deferred basis for Canadian federal income tax purposes. To the extent that any such proration is required, Amalco will issue a news release following the Effective Time of the Arrangement as to the proportion of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares in respect of which such elections were not accepted in accordance with the Arrangement. The 15% thresholds were determined by Suncor and Petro-Canada having regard to the Petro-Canada Act and other structural

29



limitations that were considered in connection with the Arrangement. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations".

        Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares held by Eligible Shareholders who do not deposit with the Depositary the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form with the appropriate election made on or before the Election Deadline or do not otherwise comply with the requirements of the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form and the instructions therein will be converted to Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and such conversion will generally occur on a tax-deferred basis for Canadian federal income tax purposes. Beneficial Shareholders (i.e.,  Shareholders who hold their Shares through a broker, financial institution or other nominee) who are eligible to and want to have their exchange of Shares for Amalco Shares carried out in such a manner as may allow such Shareholders to realize capital gains or capital losses for Canadian federal income tax purposes should contact their broker, financial institution or other nominee through whom their Shares are held to make the necessary arrangements.

        Suncor and Petro-Canada currently anticipate that the Arrangement will be completed in the third quarter of 2009. Once there is more certainty as to when the Arrangement will be completed, registered Shareholders will be provided with the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form. At such time, the Suncor Letter of Transmittal and Election Form and the Petro-Canada Letter of Transmittal and Election Form will also be available on Suncor's website at www.suncor.com, on Petro-Canada's website at www.petro-canada.ca and on the merger transition website of Suncor and Petro-Canada at www.suncorpetro-canada.ca. The Letters of Transmittal and Election Form will also be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Additional copies of the Letters of Transmittal and Election Forms will also be available by contacting the proxy solicitation agent, Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc., toll free at 1-866-851-2638 or using the other contact details listed on the back page of this Information Circular.

        Shareholders whose Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee must contact their nominee to deposit their Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares.

        Subject to applicable legislation relating to unclaimed personal property, any certificate formerly representing Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that is not deposited with all other documents as required by the Plan of Arrangement on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature including the right of the Registered Holder of such Shares to receive Amalco Shares (and any dividend or other distributions thereon). In such case, such Amalco Shares (together with all dividends or other distributions thereon) shall be returned to Amalco and such Amalco Shares shall be cancelled.

        For additional information, see "Part I — The Arrangement — Procedure for Exchange of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares and Election by Eligible Shareholders".

Treatment of Fractional Amalco Shares

        No certificates representing fractional Amalco Shares shall be issued to Petro-Canada Shareholders under the Arrangement. In lieu of any fractional Amalco Share, each Registered Holder of Petro-Canada Shares otherwise entitled to a fractional interest in an Amalco Share shall receive the nearest whole number of Amalco Shares (with any fractions equal to exactly 0.5 being rounded up).

Approval of Suncor Shareholders Required for the Arrangement

        Pursuant to the Interim Order, the number of votes required to pass the Suncor Arrangement Resolution shall be not less than 662/3% of the votes cast by Suncor Shareholders, either in person or by proxy, at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Suncor Arrangement Resolution authorizes the Suncor Board, without further notice to or approval of the Suncor Shareholders, subject to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement, to amend the Plan of Arrangement or the Arrangement Agreement or to decide not to proceed with the Arrangement at any time prior to the Arrangement becoming effective pursuant to the provisions of the CBCA.

An application for the Final Order approving the Arrangement is expected to be made on Friday, June 5, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. (Calgary time) at the Calgary Courts Centre, 601 - 5th Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta. On the application, the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement.

Right to Dissent

        Pursuant to the Interim Order, Registered Holders of Suncor Shares have Dissent Rights in respect of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution and the right to be paid an amount equal to the fair value of their Suncor Shares. The Dissent Procedures require that a Registered Holder of Suncor Shares who wishes to dissent must send a written notice of objection to the Suncor Arrangement Resolution to Suncor (i) c/o Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Suite 3500, Bankers Hall East Tower, 855 - 2nd Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4J8 (Attention: A. Webster Macdonald Jr., Q.C.) or (ii) by facsimile transmission to c/o Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Facsimile: (403) 260-9700 (Attention: A. Webster Macdonald Jr., Q.C.), in either case, to be received by 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on June 2, 2009 or, in the case of any adjournment or postponement of the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting, by 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the day of the adjourned or postponed Suncor Shareholders' Meeting, and must otherwise strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures. Failure to strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures will result in loss of Dissent Rights. Any Registered Holder of Suncor Shares who dissents from the Suncor Arrangement Resolution in compliance with the Dissent Procedures, will be entitled, in the event the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid by Amalco the fair value of the Suncor Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder, determined as of the close of business on the day before the Suncor Arrangement Resolution is adopted. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Right to Dissent".

        Pursuant to the Interim Order, Registered Holders of Petro-Canada Shares also have Dissent Rights in respect of the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution and the right to be paid an amount equal to the fair value of their Petro-Canada Shares. The Dissent Procedures require that a Registered Holder of Petro-Canada Shares who wishes to dissent must send a written notice of objection to the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution to Petro-Canada (i) c/o Macleod Dixon LLP, Suite 3700, 400 Third Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4H2 (Attention: John J. Marshall, Q.C. or Roger F. Smith) or (ii) by facsimile transmission to c/o Macleod Dixon LLP, Facsimile: (403) 264-5973 (Attention: John J. Marshall, Q.C. or Roger F. Smith), in either case, to be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on June 2, 2009 or, in the case of any adjournment or postponement of the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the day of the adjourned or postponed Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, and must otherwise strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures. Failure to strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures will result in loss of the Dissent Rights. Any Registered Holder of Petro-Canada Shares who dissents from the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution in compliance with the Dissent Procedures, will be entitled, in the event the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid by Amalco the fair value of the Petro-Canada Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder, determined as of the close of business on the day before the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution is adopted. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Right to Dissent".

32


        Non-Registered Holders of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares who wish to dissent should be aware that only Registered Holders are entitled to dissent. A Non-Registered Holder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights should immediately contact the Intermediary with whom the Non-Registered Holder deals in respect of its Shares and either (i) instruct the Intermediary to exercise the Dissent Rights on the Non-Registered Holder's behalf (which, if the Shares are registered in the name of CDS or other clearing agency, may require that such Shares first be re-registered in the name of the Intermediary), or (ii) instruct the Intermediary to re-register such Shares in the name of the Non-Registered Holder, in which case the Non-Registered Holder would be able to exercise the Dissent Rights directly. In addition, pursuant to the Interim Order, a Dissenting Shareholder may not exercise Dissent Rights in respect of only a portion of such Dissenting Shareholder's Shares but may dissent only with respect to all Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder.

        The Arrangement Agreement provides that, unless otherwise waived by Suncor, it is a condition to the completion of the Arrangement for the benefit of Suncor that holders of such number of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares that, in the aggregate, would not constitute greater than 2% of the number of Amalco Shares that would be outstanding following completion of the Arrangement (assuming for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding number of Amalco Shares that there are no holders of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares who have validly exercised Dissent Rights), shall have validly exercised Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement that have not been withdrawn as of the Effective Date. See "Part I — The Arrangement — The Arrangement Agreement — Conditions to the Arrangement" and "Part I — The Arrangement — Right to Dissent".

        Shareholders are cautioned that fair value could be determined to be less than the value of the consideration payable pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement and that the proceeds of disposition received by a Dissenting Shareholder may be treated in a different, and potentially more adverse, manner under Canadian and United States federal income tax laws than had such Shareholder exchanged his or her Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. In addition, any judicial determination of fair value will result in delay of receipt by a Dissenting Shareholder of consideration for such Dissenting Shareholder's Dissenting Shares.

Stock Exchange Listing Approvals

        It is a mutual condition to the completion of the Arrangement that the TSX and NYSE shall have conditionally approved the listing of the Amalco Shares issuable or to be made issuable pursuant to the Arrangement on the TSX and NYSE. The TSX and NYSE have conditionally approved the listing of the Amalco Shares to be issued or to be made issuable pursuant to the Arrangement, subject to Suncor and Petro-Canada fulfilling the requirements of such exchanges.

        The Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares will be delisted from the TSX and NYSE following the completion of the Arrangement.

        See "Part I — The Arrangement — Stock Exchange Listing Approvals".

33


Other Regulatory Conditions or Approvals

        It is a condition precedent to the completion of the Arrangement that all requisite regulatory conditions be satisfied and all requisite approvals be obtained. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Other Regulatory Conditions or Approvals" and "Part I — The Arrangement — The Arrangement Agreement — Conditions to the Arrangement — Mutual Conditions".

Competition/Antitrust

Canada

        The transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement cannot be completed until Suncor and Petro-Canada have filed certain prescribed information with the Commissioner pursuant to Part IX of the Competition Act and either one or more of the following shall have occurred: (i) the relevant waiting period in Section 123 of the Competition Act shall have expired and there shall be no order issued by the Competition Tribunal under Sections 92, 100 or 104 of the Competition Act and there shall be no other agreement with the Commissioner or between Suncor and Petro-Canada precluding completion of the Arrangement, unless such order or agreement is on terms and conditions acceptable to each of Suncor and Petro-Canada, acting reasonably; (ii) the Commissioner shall have issued a letter to Suncor and Petro-Canada indicating that she does not intend to make an application under Section 92 of the Competition Act precluding completion of the Arrangement and any terms and conditions attached to any such letter shall be acceptable to each of Suncor and Petro-Canada, acting reasonably; or (iii) the Commissioner shall have issued an advance ruling certificate pursuant to Section 102 of the Competition Act in respect of the Arrangement in form and substance acceptable to each Party, acting reasonably. Suncor filed a notification pursuant to subsection 114(1) of the Competition Act with the Commissioner on March 27, 2009, and Petro-Canada filed a notification pursuant to subsection 114(1) of the Competition Act with the Commissioner on March 28, 2009, with the effective date being March 30, 2009. The requirements under the Competition Act are discussed further in this Information Circular under "Part I — The Arrangement — Other Regulatory Conditions or Approvals — Competition Act Compliance" and "Part I — The Arrangement — The Arrangement Agreement — Conditions to the Arrangement — Mutual Conditions".

United States

        The transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement cannot be completed until Suncor and Petro-Canada have each filed a Notification and Report Form with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission pursuant to the HSR Act and the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) thereunder shall have expired or been earlier terminated. Suncor and Petro-Canada filed the requisite Notification and Report Forms on April 3, 2009 and early termination was granted by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on April 14, 2009. The requirements under the HSR Act are discussed further in this Information Circular under "Part I — The Arrangement — Other Regulatory Conditions or Approvals" and "Part I — The Arrangement — The Arrangement Agreement — Conditions to the Arrangement — Mutual Conditions".

Canada Transportation Act

        The transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement also may be subject to notification under subsection 53.1(1) of the CTA and, in such event, cannot be completed until the Transport Minister has provided his opinion that the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement do not raise issues with respect to the public interest as it relates to national transportation or, if such notice is not provided, the Governor in Council approves the transaction under the CTA. While Suncor and Petro-Canada are of the view that the CTA likely does not apply to the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, as a precaution the Parties filed their notice under the CTA to the Transport Minister on March 30, 2009. On April 24, 2009, the Transport Minister confirmed that the transaction does not raise public interest issues as it relates to national transportation, thus concluding the process under the CTA for the transactions contemplated by the

34



Arrangement Agreement. The requirements under the CTA are discussed further in this Information Circular under "Part I — The Arrangement — Other Regulatory Conditions or Approvals" and "Part I — The Arrangement — The Arrangement Agreement — Conditions to the Arrangement — Mutual Conditions".

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

        This Information Circular contains a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations relevant to Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders with respect to the Arrangement and the comments below are qualified in their entirety by reference to such summary. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations".

        Generally, a Suncor Shareholder or a Petro-Canada Shareholder that is not a Dissenting Shareholder will not realize a capital gain or capital loss on the disposition of their Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, on the completion of the Arrangement. Eligible Suncor Shareholders and Eligible Petro-Canada Shareholders holding up to a maximum of 15% of the outstanding Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, may, however, elect to have the exchange of their Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement carried out in such a manner as may allow such Shareholders to realize capital gains or capital losses for Canadian federal income tax purposes. The 15% thresholds were determined by Suncor and Petro-Canada having regard to the Petro-Canada Act and other structural limitations that were considered in connection with the Arrangement. Eligible Shareholders considering making such an election should carefully review the discussion under "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations — Electing Petro-Canada Shareholders" or "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations — Electing Suncor Shareholders", as applicable, and should consult their own tax advisors regarding the Canadian federal income tax consequences of making such an election.

        In the case of a Suncor Shareholder or a Petro-Canada Shareholder that is a Non-Resident Shareholder and whose Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as the case may be, constitute "taxable Canadian property", any Amalco Shares received by such Shareholder in exchange for such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares by virtue of the Arrangement will also constitute "taxable Canadian property".

        A Dissenting Shareholder that receives from Amalco the fair value of the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares held by it will be deemed to have received proceeds of disposition equal to the amount of the payment (exclusive of interest) received by such Dissenting Shareholder, which may result in such Dissenting Shareholder realizing a capital gain or a capital loss. Dissenting Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences of exercising their Dissent Rights.

        See "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations".

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

        This Information Circular contains a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares arising from and relating to the Arrangement and the comments below are qualified in their entirety by such summary. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations." U.S. Holders are encouraged to read that section and consult with their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement.

        The Arrangement is intended to qualify as a Reorganization. Assuming the Arrangement qualifies as a Reorganization, subject to the possible application of the PFIC rules described herein (see "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations"), the Arrangement will result in the following U.S. federal income tax consequences: (a) no gain or loss will be recognized by a U.S. Holder on the exchange of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, (b) the tax basis of a U.S. Holder in the Amalco Shares acquired in exchange for Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be equal to such U.S. Holder's tax basis in Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada

35



Shares, respectively, exchanged, and (c) the holding period of a U.S. Holder in the Amalco Shares acquired in exchange for Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will include such U.S. Holder's holding period for the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, exchanged. If the Arrangement is not treated as a Reorganization, the Arrangement will be treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, if Suncor or Petro-Canada is or has been classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during a U.S. Holder's holding period for Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, the foregoing discussion will not describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to such holder and, instead, such U.S. Holder will generally be subject to different and more adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

        See "Part I — The Arrangement — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations".

Certain Other Tax Considerations

        This Information Circular does not address any tax considerations of the Arrangement other than certain Canadian and United States federal income tax considerations applicable to Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders. Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders who are resident in jurisdictions other than Canada or the United States should consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax implications of the Arrangement, including any associated filing requirements, in such jurisdictions and with respect to the tax implications in such jurisdictions of owning Amalco Shares after the completion of the Arrangement. Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders should also consult their own tax advisors regarding provincial, state or territorial tax considerations of the Arrangement or of holding Amalco Shares.

Natural gas is converted to barrels of oil equivalent (boe) using six (6) Mcf of natural gas to one (1) boe. See "Joint Information Circular and Proxy Statement — Barrel of Oil Equivalency".

(3)
As noted above, Suncor reports its reserves in accordance with NI 51-101 and Petro-Canada uses SEC and FASB standards as well as SEC Industry Guide 7 when preparing and reporting reserves. See "Joint Information Circular and Proxy Statement — Petro-Canada Oil and Gas Disclosure" and "Joint Information Circular and Proxy Statement — Disclosure of Combined Reserves and Resources". Such reserves information may differ and such differences may be material. These differences relate to the SEC requirement, employed by Petro-Canada, for disclosure only of proved reserves calculated at constant year-end prices and costs, while NI 51-101 requires disclosure, employed by Suncor, at forecast prices and costs. Also, the definition of proved reserves differs between SEC and NI 51-101 requirements.

(4)
Petro-Canada's in-situ bitumen reserves and resources have been converted to synthetic crude oil volumes (SCO) using the conversion of 1.0 bbls of bitumen = 0.8 bbls of SCO.

Risk Factors

        An investment in Amalco Shares as a result of the combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada is subject to certain risks. In addition to the risk factors described under the heading "Risk Management" in the Petro-Canada AIF and under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Suncor AIF, which are specifically incorporated by reference into this Information Circular, and the risk factors described under "Part I — The Arrangement — Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement", "Part V — Information Concerning Suncor — Risk Factors" and "Part VI — Information Concerning Petro-Canada — Risk Factors" in this Information Circular, the following is a list of certain additional and supplemental risk factors which Suncor Shareholders should carefully consider before making a decision regarding approving the Suncor Arrangement Resolution and which Petro-Canada Shareholders should carefully consider before making a decision regarding approving the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution:

    Suncor and Petro-Canada may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement;

    there are risks related to the integration of Suncor's and Petro-Canada's existing businesses;

    Suncor and Petro-Canada may not satisfy all regulatory requirements or obtain the necessary approvals for completion of the Arrangement on satisfactory terms or at all;

    Amalco's business mix will be different than that of Suncor and Petro-Canada;

    there are risks related to Petro-Canada's international activities;

    Amalco may be unable to obtain the necessary levels of financing on acceptable terms, or at all, upon the expiration of the existing Petro-Canada and Suncor credit facilities;

    the amount of any dividends paid by Amalco will not be guaranteed;

    following the Arrangement the trading price of the Amalco Shares may be volatile and ownership restrictions may depress the trading price of the Amalco Shares; and

    following completion of the Arrangement, Amalco may issue additional equity securities.

        The risk factors summarized above are a summary of certain of the risk factors contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this Information Circular. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement", "Part V — Information Concerning Suncor — Risk Factors" and "Part VI — Information Concerning Petro-Canada — Risk Factors". Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders and potential investors should carefully consider all such risk factors.

Additional Matters to be Acted upon at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting

        Recognizing in part that Suncor and Petro-Canada expect the completion of the Arrangement to occur in the third quarter of 2009, it was determined that the annual business to be considered by shareholders of a CBCA public company should be placed before the Suncor Shareholders at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting.

        Accordingly, Suncor Shareholders will be asked to vote to elect directors of Suncor at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting, each such director to hold office until the earlier of the completion of the Arrangement and the next annual general meeting of Suncor Shareholders or until the successor of such director is duly elected or appointed, unless such office is earlier vacated. Suncor Shareholders are permitted to vote for the slate of director nominees set out and discussed in this Information Circular, or, alternatively, to withhold their vote from individual nominees. The Suncor Board has adopted a policy which requires that any nominee for a director who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" than votes "for" his or her election as a director shall submit his or her resignation to the Governance Committee of the Suncor Board for consideration promptly following the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting. See the section entitled "Annual General Meeting Business — Majority Voting for Directors" in Appendix H to this Information Circular.

39


        In addition, Suncor Shareholders will be asked to vote to re-appoint Suncor's auditors. The Suncor Board proposes that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP be appointed as Suncor's auditors until the earlier of the completion of the Arrangement and the close of the next annual general meeting of Suncor Shareholders.

        See "Part III — Additional Matters to be Acted upon at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting" and Appendix H to this Information Circular, "Information Regarding Suncor Annual General Meeting Matters and Related Disclosure".

Additional Matters to be Acted upon at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting

        Recognizing in part that Suncor and Petro-Canada expect the completion of the Arrangement to occur in the third quarter of 2009, it was determined that the annual business to be considered by shareholders of a CBCA public company should be placed before the Petro-Canada Shareholders at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting.

        Accordingly, Petro-Canada Shareholders will be asked to vote to elect directors of Petro-Canada at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, each such director to hold office until the earlier of the completion of the Arrangement and the next annual general meeting of Petro-Canada Shareholders or until the successor of such director is duly elected or appointed, unless such office is earlier vacated. Petro-Canada Shareholders are permitted to vote for the slate of director nominees set out and discussed in this Information Circular, or, alternatively, to withhold their vote from individual nominees.

        In addition, Petro-Canada Shareholders will be asked to vote to re-appoint Petro-Canada's auditors. The Petro-Canada Board proposes that Deloitte & Touche LLP be appointed as Petro-Canada's auditors until the earlier of the completion of the Arrangement and the close of the next annual general meeting of Petro-Canada Shareholders.

        See "Part IV — Additional Matters to be Acted upon at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting" and Appendix I to this Information Circular, "Information Regarding Petro-Canada Annual General Meeting Matters and Related Disclosure".

PART I — THE ARRANGEMENT

Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement

Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement — Suncor

Background to the Arrangement

        The Suncor Board and senior management of Suncor have regularly discussed opportunities to better realize the potential of Suncor's asset portfolio and oil sands expertise, as well as Suncor's overall position in the industry. In that regard, among other potential alternatives, Suncor had in previous years considered the possibility of strategic transactions with various industry participants, including the possibility of a strategic business combination between Suncor and Petro-Canada. In 1999, Suncor and Petro-Canada had engaged in detailed discussions related to a possible combination transaction. However, those discussions did not culminate in a merger or other business combination for a variety of reasons, including respective share valuations.

        In the fall of 2008, senior management of Suncor began to explore the possibility of pursuing a business combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada in more detail. Having concluded that, based on certain assumptions, such a combination would be beneficial to Suncor, senior management prepared its assessment of a possible merger of Suncor and Petro-Canada, including the rationale in support of such a transaction. Suncor then engaged Blakes as legal counsel to assist and provide legal advice to Suncor in connection with a potential business combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada. In November of 2008, the Chair of the Suncor Board contacted the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board, and on December 3, 2008 the Chair of the Suncor Board had a meeting with the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board with respect to the possibility of a business combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada.

        In late January 2009, the Chairs and the Chief Executive Officers of Suncor and Petro-Canada conducted preliminary discussions as to a potential business combination transaction of the two companies. On January 19, 2009, the Chair of the Suncor Board and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Suncor reported to the Suncor Board on their initial contacts and discussions with the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board and Petro-Canada's President and Chief Executive Officer, respectively. The Suncor Board authorized its Chair and President and Chief Executive Officer to continue discussions with Petro-Canada with respect to a possible business combination of the two companies. At this meeting, the Suncor Board also discussed general trends, and Suncor's overall position, in the oil and gas industry and the advisability of entering into a combination transaction with Petro-Canada, and directed Suncor senior management to retain CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley to act as financial advisors to Suncor in connection with a possible business combination or similar transaction with Petro-Canada.

        Following this meeting, the Chairs and the Chief Executive Officers of Suncor and Petro-Canada continued preliminary discussions as to the financial and other parameters of a possible business combination transaction. On February 2, 2009, the Suncor Board met with its legal and financial advisors to review certain operational and financial analysis performed by CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley and to continue to review the structure and terms of a potential transaction. Following this meeting, the Suncor Board recommended that the Suncor Chair and senior management should continue to discuss with Petro-Canada the terms of a possible combination transaction, and the Chair of the Suncor Board contacted the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board to communicate Suncor's interest in continuing discussions in that regard. On February 3, 2009, the financial advisors of Suncor and Petro-Canada met to review the potential financial parameters of such a business combination transaction.

        On February 4, 2009, Petro-Canada and Suncor entered into the Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to which they agreed to permit each other access to certain confidential information that would be relevant to a potential business combination, and the parties held a meeting regarding a possible business combination transaction. The management representatives reviewed the businesses of both companies and discussed the inherent value available from a potential combination of these businesses. Subsequent discussions were held by the Chairs and management of Petro-Canada and Suncor, with the support of their respective financial and legal advisors, in connection with the possible financial parameters and structure of a business combination. On March 9, 2009, representatives of Suncor and Petro-Canada reviewed the financial parameters and structure of a business combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada and concluded that there was sufficient common ground to continue the discussions. On March 12, 2009, the Chairs of Suncor and Petro-Canada met and agreed to pursue

41



negotiation of a potential transaction between the parties based on an indicative share exchange ratio, subject to confirmatory due diligence and agreement between the parties with respect to the terms of a definitive transaction agreement.

        On March 15, 2009, Suncor and Petro-Canada entered into an agreement to negotiate exclusively with each other until April 15, 2009 regarding a possible transaction. On March 16, 2009, the Suncor Board met again with its financial and legal advisors to receive updated financial and legal advice regarding the terms of a potential transaction, including preliminary terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the impact of such a transaction on Suncor Shareholders and other stakeholders. At this meeting, CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley presented their financial analysis of the potential transaction to the Suncor Board. The Suncor Board thoroughly considered the pertinent issues and reviewed the terms of the proposed transaction, including the preliminary terms of the Arrangement Agreement, with CIBC World Markets, Morgan Stanley and Blakes. Blakes provided the Suncor Board with legal advice as to the legal and fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Suncor Board in evaluating the proposed transaction. Following the review, the Suncor Board authorized management to pursue the negotiation of a business combination transaction at the indicative share exchange ratio presented to the Suncor Board at such meeting.

        Over the next week, the parties, together with their respective financial and legal advisors, continued negotiations of the terms of a possible transaction and the Arrangement Agreement. Each of Suncor and Petro-Canada conducted a review of confidential non-public data of the other to the extent permitted under applicable Law and the terms of any confidentiality provisions with a view to negotiating the terms of a business combination. Each party's review included extensive due diligence of the other and its assets, including with respect to potential synergies, capital structure, operations, reserves, environmental, financial, accounting, tax, labour, pension, benefits, compensation and corporate matters. The parties also reviewed in depth the implications of the Petro-Canada Act and the preferred structure to deal with such implications. Each of Suncor and Petro-Canada met with members of management of the other and had access to the technical teams of the other during the course of its review. A meeting of the Suncor Board was scheduled for March 22, 2009 to consider the potential transaction.

        The Suncor Board met on Sunday, March 22, 2009 to review and consider the specific transaction terms that had been negotiated, the merits to Suncor of entering into such a transaction and the proposed final terms of the Arrangement Agreement that resulted from the negotiations with Petro-Canada. At this meeting, CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley delivered their verbal opinions that, as of March 22, 2009, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, explanations, qualifications and limitations set forth in their respective opinions, the Suncor Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Suncor Shareholders. CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley subsequently delivered their written opinions dated March 22, 2009 addressed to the Suncor Board, which are contained in Appendix D-1 and Appendix D-2, respectively, to this Information Circular. Blakes reviewed the material terms of the proposed Arrangement Agreement with the Suncor Board and advised the Suncor Board on the resolution of the final matters under negotiation and reiterated their fiduciary duties and responsibilities with respect to the proposed transaction. Management presented a summary of the due diligence work that had been completed. The Suncor Board reviewed the negotiation process with management and discussed the proposed final terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the verbal fairness opinions of CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley. After the Suncor Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the verbal fairness opinions of CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley and the impact of the proposed transaction on the various stakeholders of Suncor, the Suncor Board authorized and approved the execution and delivery of the Arrangement Agreement by Suncor, determined that the Arrangement is fair to Suncor Shareholders, is in the best interests of Suncor and recommended that Suncor Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement. The Chair of the Suncor Board, Mr. John T. Ferguson, abstained from voting in light of his position as a director of the Royal Bank of Canada, the parent company of RBC Capital Markets, one of Petro-Canada's financial advisors in connection with the Arrangement. Following the meeting, Suncor and Petro-Canada signed the Arrangement Agreement. Suncor and Petro-Canada issued a joint press release announcing the Arrangement prior to the opening of the markets on Monday, March 23, 2009.

        The Suncor Board met on April 27, 2009 to, among other things, review the terms of the amended Plan of Arrangement (as reflected in Schedule 1.1(a) to the Arrangement Agreement, which is attached as Appendix C

42



to this Information Circular), this Information Circular and various other matters relating to the Arrangement and the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting. In particular, at this meeting it was proposed that the Plan of Arrangement be amended to, among other things, include additional steps and transactions that are structured so that (a) Suncor Shareholders who are individuals resident in Canada may be able to effect a realization of a capital gain (or a capital loss) for Canadian federal income tax purposes upon the proposed Arrangement being effected, and (b) any person, together with any associates of that person, who hold, beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, otherwise than by way of security only, in the aggregate more than 20% of the outstanding Amalco Shares immediately after the Effective Time shall be prohibited from exercising certain rights associated with any of the Amalco Shares that exceed such 20% threshold. At this meeting, the Suncor Board resolved to approve the contents of this Information Circular and the mailing of it to the Suncor Shareholders, the amended Plan of Arrangement and various other matters relating to the proposed Arrangement and the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting, and confirmed its recommendation that Suncor Shareholders vote in favour of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution. Mr. John T. Ferguson, the Chair of the Suncor Board, abstained from confirming such recommendation for the reasons described above.

Reasons for the Arrangement

        Following receipt of the advice and assistance of the financial advisors and legal counsel, the Suncor Board carefully evaluated the terms of the proposed Arrangement, and (with the Chair of the Suncor Board abstaining due to a potential conflict of interest): (a) determined that the Arrangement is fair to Suncor Shareholders; (b) determined that the Arrangement and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement are in the best interests of Suncor; (c) approved the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement; and (d) resolved to recommend that Suncor Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement. In reaching these determinations and making these approvals the Suncor Board considered, among other things (including those matters described under "— Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement"), the following factors and potential benefits and risks of the Arrangement:

    Suncor Shareholders will continue to participate in the growth opportunities associated with Amalco, as the combined corporation is anticipated to be a larger, stronger and more efficient company;

    CIBC World Markets and Morgan Stanley provided opinions, the full text of which can be found at Appendices D-1 and D-2 to this Information Circular, respectively, that, as of March 22, 2009, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, explanations, qualifications and limitations set forth in their respective opinions, the Suncor Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Suncor Shareholders. See "— Suncor Fairness Opinions";

    the exchange of Suncor Shares for Amalco Shares will generally be tax-deferred for Suncor Shareholders;

    under the Arrangement Agreement, until the time that the Suncor Arrangement Resolution is approved, the Suncor Board retains the ability to consider and respond to Superior Proposals on the specific terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement;

    at least 662/3% of the votes cast by Suncor Shareholders at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting are required to approve the Arrangement Resolution. Accordingly, Suncor Shareholders are able to reject the Arrangement Resolution if they choose to do so;

    the Suncor Shareholders have the ability to exercise their Dissent Rights; and

    the Arrangement requires approval by the Court.

        The information and factors described above and considered by the Suncor Board in reaching its determinations and making its approvals are not intended to be exhaustive but include material factors considered by the Suncor Board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Arrangement and the complexity of these matters, the Suncor Board did not find it useful to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In addition, individual members of the Suncor Board may have given different weight to different factors.

Background to and Reasons for the Arrangement — Petro-Canada

Background to the Arrangement

        Management of Petro-Canada and the Petro-Canada Board regularly review the strategic objectives and opportunities available to Petro-Canada as part of their ongoing responsibilities and activities to enhance the value of Petro-Canada. In the context of this ongoing review, Petro-Canada has considered opportunities involving various parties and held exploratory conversations with a number of companies. Exploratory discussions have been held with Suncor from time to time over the years as far back as 1999. The detailed discussions held in 1999 between Petro-Canada and Suncor did not culminate in a merger or other business combination for a variety of reasons, including respective share valuations.

        In January 2008, a number of circumstances and developments in respect of Petro-Canada's business led to discussions by the Petro-Canada Board regarding various alternative strategic courses of action. These circumstances and developments included the fact that the Petro-Canada Board had been of the view for some time that the Petro-Canada Shares were trading at prices that did not reflect Petro-Canada's underlying value.

        To provide further support regarding the analysis of Petro-Canada's undervaluation and strategic alternatives, Petro-Canada engaged RBC Dominion Securities to assist and provide a broad range of financial advisory services. Such services included RBC Dominion Securities providing its views and perspectives regarding potential business combinations with a range of energy companies. Subsequently, management, with the assistance of RBC Dominion Securities, reviewed a broad range of alternative strategic courses of action available to Petro-Canada, including potential business combination partners and the sale or spin-off of certain assets of Petro-Canada.

        In March 2008, Petro-Canada management presented to the Petro-Canada Board an outline of alternatives to deal with the undervaluation of Petro-Canada and suggested certain steps that the Petro-Canada Board might consider to better define a course of action.

        In April 2008, based on the work undertaken to date, management advised the Petro-Canada Board that a business combination with an energy company would be a viable strategic course of action and further information and analysis would be required in connection with a potential sale or spin-off of certain assets of Petro-Canada. As part of the review of alternative strategic courses of action, management, with the assistance of RBC Dominion Securities, conducted a review of a broad number of third parties that could have a potential strategic fit with Petro-Canada and might reasonably be expected to be interested in pursuing a merger with, or acquisition of, Petro-Canada. RBC Dominion Securities considered a significant number of publicly traded energy companies as potential transaction candidates and after a review of such companies, RBC Dominion Securities advised the Petro-Canada Board that a small number of energy companies were identified as potential transaction candidates that could potentially provide significant value to Petro-Canada Shareholders and strategic benefits to Petro-Canada. Suncor was identified as an attractive combination partner for Petro-Canada from a strategic and value creation perspective.

        In July 2008, management received a communication from an institutional shareholder regarding its concerns with Petro-Canada's corporate strategy and suggestions for change. The principal concern expressed by this shareholder was that from such shareholder's perspective the returns from an investment in Petro-Canada have historically been unacceptably low in comparison to its peers. The Petro-Canada Board and management considered and evaluated the proposals of this shareholder, and concluded that the proposed measures may yield short term valuation gains, but did not necessarily address the longer-term improvements in valuation and the strategic benefits that Petro-Canada was pursuing.

        In September 2008, the Petro-Canada Board held its regular annual strategic planning session. The Petro-Canada Board and management continued discussing the persistent undervaluation of the Petro-Canada Shares and opportunities to deliver value to Petro-Canada and its shareholders through alternative strategic courses of action. The Petro-Canada Board determined that more work should be done to analyze the value creation opportunities available through a business combination with any of the possible transaction candidates that had been identified. Deutsche Bank was subsequently engaged by Petro-Canada to act as a joint advisor.

        At a meeting held on October 22 and 23, 2008, the Petro-Canada Board received updates from management on the work performed by management, RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank and the

44



merits of various alternative strategic courses of action under consideration. These financial advisors reviewed a range of alternative strategic courses of action to address the perceived valuation gap between the trading value of Petro-Canada and its underlying fundamental value. RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank identified a small number of energy companies that such financial advisors characterized as potentially attractive business combination partners from both a strategic and value creation perspective, and the Petro-Canada Board was advised that a transaction executed by way of a share exchange with any of these companies, on certain terms, could provide strategic benefits to Petro-Canada and enhance near and long-term value for Petro-Canada Shareholders. A business combination with Suncor was again identified as potentially providing attractive benefits from a strategic and value creation perspective.

        Subsequently, in November 2008, management received a communication from a second significant institutional shareholder regarding its concerns with Petro-Canada's corporate strategy. The principal concern expressed by this shareholder was similar to the concern that had been raised by the other shareholder in July 2008, being that from such shareholder's perspective the returns from an investment in Petro-Canada had historically been unacceptably low in comparison to its peers. This shareholder provided an analysis of performance and a recommended course of action to be undertaken by Petro-Canada.

        Independent of the review process undertaken by Petro-Canada and following contact initiated by the Chair of the Suncor Board in November 2008, the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board had a meeting with the Chair of the Suncor Board on December 3, 2008 with respect to the possibility of a business combination of Petro-Canada and Suncor.

        Petro-Canada directed RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank to focus their review on a business combination with Suncor, and assess the merits of such a transaction relative to other strategic alternatives. Petro-Canada engaged Macleod Dixon to assist and provide legal advice to Petro-Canada in connection with any proposed business combination. Petro-Canada also engaged Torys LLP, who previously had advised Petro-Canada on the application of the Petro-Canada Act, to provide assistance regarding that legislation and its impact on the structure of a possible transaction.

        Through the fall of 2008, the Petro-Canada Board held a number of meetings in their review of the strategic direction of Petro-Canada and in connection with a potential business combination. A number of these meetings were held with and without management and with and without RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank.

        At a meeting held on December 9 and 10, 2008, the Petro-Canada Board received updates from management, RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank on the work performed and the merits of various alternative strategic courses of action under consideration. These discussions included a thorough review of the recommendations made by institutional shareholders based on internal analysis and the financial advisors' views of the likely market reaction to those recommended alternatives. In looking at the business combination alternatives, the Petro-Canada Board considered a number of factors including financial accretion, strategic fit, culture, size and scale, operational and capital synergies and the implications of the Petro-Canada Act. The Petro-Canada Board was advised by RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank that a business combination with Suncor had the potential to provide the greatest value creation, based on certain assumptions and transaction terms. The Petro-Canada Board was further advised that such a business combination had the potential to create a stronger corporation with larger size and scale, a strong credit profile and the ability to fund future growth opportunities. RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank further advised that such a business combination under certain assumptions, would be superior to any other strategic alternative course of action that was currently available to Petro-Canada, including the status quo.

        On December 10, 2008, the Petro-Canada Board formed an independent committee (the "Independent Review Committee"). The Independent Review Committee was comprised of Paul Melnuk (Chair), Paul Haseldonckx, Daniel Valot and Jim Simpson, together with the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board in an ex-officio non-voting capacity. All members of the Independent Review Committee were and are non-management directors of Petro-Canada. The Independent Review Committee was formed by the Petro-Canada Board with the mandate to review the considerations and recommendations of management and Petro-Canada's financial and legal advisors within the alternative strategic courses of action that had been identified and considered by them. The Independent Review Committee retained financial and legal advisors to assist it in its review and analysis. The Independent Review Committee met formally four times during December 2008 and January 2009

45


to consider, and provide direction to, the review of alternative strategic courses of action. Although members of management were present at the meetings, the Independent Review Committee also met without management present at each meeting. Members of the Independent Review Committee also met informally and spoke with management and its advisors regarding the process between formal meetings.

        At a meeting of the Petro-Canada Board held on January 16 and 17, 2009, RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank provided the Petro-Canada Board with a detailed financial analysis regarding business combinations with a short list of potential business combination partners and other alternative strategic courses of action available to Petro-Canada. At this meeting, Macleod Dixon also advised the Petro-Canada Board of its duties and responsibilities in the context of a potential business combination transaction and its consideration of other alternative strategic courses of action. Management of Petro-Canada thoroughly reviewed the status, merits and challenges of a possible transaction with these potential combination partners, the other alternatives arising out of the process conducted by Petro-Canada and the continuation of Petro-Canada's business plan. At this meeting, Mr. Melnuk, Chair of the Independent Review Committee, confirmed to the Petro-Canada Board that the Independent Review Committee had completed its mandate and had conducted a thorough review of the work undertaken by management and the financial advisors of Petro-Canada. The Independent Review Committee concluded that, on the basis of its review and the alternative strategic courses of action presented by management, it appeared that Petro-Canada's best alternative would be to pursue a business combination with a third party. The Petro-Canada Board reviewed the alternative strategic courses of action available to Petro-Canada and after extensive deliberation including a review of the report of the Independent Review Committee, instructed the Chair of the Petro-Canada Board and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Petro-Canada to respond to the approach made by Suncor and enter into discussions for the purpose of determining whether a business combination with Suncor would be possible.

        In late January 2009, the Chairs and Chief Executive Officers of Petro-Canada and Suncor continued preliminary discussions as to the financial and other parameters of a possible business combination transaction. The financial advisors of Petro-Canada and Suncor also met to review the financial parameters of such a business combination transaction.

        On February 4, 2009, Petro-Canada and Suncor entered into the Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to which they agreed to permit each other access to certain confidential information that would be relevant to a potential business combination, and the parties held a meeting regarding a possible business combination transaction. The management representatives reviewed the businesses of both companies and discussed the inherent value available from a potential combination of these businesses. Subsequent discussions were held by the Chairs and management of Petro-Canada and Suncor, with the support of their respective financial and legal advisors, in connection with the possible financial parameters and structure of a business combination. On March 9, 2009 representatives of Petro-Canada and Suncor reviewed the financial parameters and structure of a business combination of Petro-Canada and Suncor and concluded that there was sufficient common ground to continue the discussions.

        At a meeting of the Petro-Canada Board held on March 12, 2009, the directors received advice from RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank as to the merits and challenges associated with a possible business combination of Petro-Canada and Suncor, and Macleod Dixon further briefed the directors of Petro-Canada on their legal duties and responsibilities in evaluating such a transaction and in considering alternative strategic courses of action. After a thorough consideration of the pertinent issues, the Petro-Canada Board authorized management to pursue the negotiation of a business combination transaction pursuant to which Petro-Canada Shareholders would receive common shares in the combined corporation at a share exchange ratio that was within the range presented to the Petro-Canada Board at such meeting. Following the meeting, the Chairs of Petro-Canada and Suncor met and agreed to pursue negotiation of a potential transaction between the parties based on an indicative share exchange ratio, subject to confirmatory due diligence and agreement between the parties with respect to the terms of a definitive transaction agreement.

        On March 15, 2009, Petro-Canada and Suncor entered into an agreement to negotiate exclusively with each other for a period ending on April 15, 2009 regarding a possible transaction. The parties, together with their respective financial and legal advisors, continued negotiations of the terms of a possible transaction and the Arrangement Agreement. Over the next week, each of Petro-Canada and Suncor conducted a review of confidential non-public data of the other to the extent permitted under applicable Law and the terms of any

46



confidentiality provisions with a view to negotiating the terms of a business combination. Each party's review included extensive due diligence of the other and its assets, including with respect to potential synergies, capital structure, operations, reserves, environmental, financial, accounting, tax, labour, pension, benefits, compensation and corporate matters. The parties also reviewed in depth the implications of the Petro-Canada Act and the preferred structure to deal with such implications. Each of Petro-Canada and Suncor met with members of management of the other and had access to the technical teams of the other during the course of its review.

        The Petro-Canada Board met again on March 22, 2009 to review and consider the specific transaction terms that had been negotiated, the merits to Petro-Canada of entering into such a transaction and the proposed Arrangement Agreement that resulted from the negotiations with Suncor. RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank provided their respective verbal opinions to the Petro-Canada Board that, as of the date of their respective opinions and subject to and based on customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations, the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Petro-Canada Shareholders. RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank subsequently delivered their written opinions dated March 22, 2009 addressed to the Petro-Canada Board which are contained in Appendices E-1 and E-2, respectively, to this Information Circular. Macleod Dixon presented to the Petro-Canada Board the material terms of the proposed Arrangement Agreement, advised the Petro-Canada Board on the resolution of the final matters under negotiation and their fiduciary duties and responsibilities with respect to the proposed transaction. Management presented a summary of the due diligence work that had been completed. The Petro-Canada Board reviewed the negotiation process with management, discussed the further changes to the Arrangement Agreement and the verbal fairness opinions of RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank. After the Petro-Canada Board considered, among other things, the review of alternative strategic courses of action that had been conducted, the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the verbal fairness opinions of RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank and the impact of the proposed transaction on the various stakeholders of Petro-Canada, the Petro-Canada Board resolved to authorize Petro-Canada to enter into the Arrangement Agreement. Ten of the twelve directors voted in favour of such resolution and two of the twelve directors voted against such resolution. Following the meeting, Petro-Canada and Suncor signed the Arrangement Agreement. Petro-Canada and Suncor issued a joint press release announcing the Arrangement prior to the opening of the markets on Monday, March 23, 2009.

        On April 27, 2009, eleven of the twelve directors of the Petro-Canada Board met and considered the terms of the amended Plan of Arrangement (as reflected in Schedule 1.1(a) to the Arrangement Agreement, which is attached as Appendix C to this Information Circular), this Information Circular and various other matters relating to the proposed Arrangement and the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting. In particular, at this meeting it was proposed that the Plan of Arrangement be amended to, among other things, include additional steps and transactions that are structured so that (a) Petro-Canada Shareholders who are individuals resident in Canada may be able to effect a realization of a capital gain (or a capital loss) for Canadian federal income tax purposes upon the proposed Arrangement being effected; and (b) any person, together with any associates of that person, who hold, beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, otherwise than by way of security only, in the aggregate more than 20% of the outstanding Amalco Shares immediately after the Effective Time shall be prohibited from exercising certain rights associated with any of the Amalco Shares that exceed such 20% threshold. At this meeting, the directors unanimously resolved to approve the amendments to the Plan of Arrangement, the contents of this Information Circular and the mailing of it to the Petro-Canada Shareholders and various other matters relating to the proposed Arrangement and the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting.

Reasons for the Arrangement

        Following receipt of the advice and assistance of the financial advisors and legal counsel, the Petro-Canada Board carefully evaluated the terms of the proposed Arrangement, and ten of the twelve directors (with two directors voting against) at a meeting of Petro-Canada Board held on March 22, 2009: (a) determined that the Arrangement is fair to Petro-Canada Shareholders; (b) determined that the Arrangement and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement are in the best interests of Petro-Canada; (c) approved the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement; and (d) resolved to recommend that Petro-Canada Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement. In reaching these determinations and approvals the Petro-Canada Board considered, among

47



other things (including those matters described under "— Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement"), the following factors and potential benefits and risks of the Arrangement:

    the Arrangement is the preferred transaction available to Petro-Canada and the Petro-Canada Shareholders following an extensive and thorough review of alternative strategic courses of action conducted by Petro-Canada, which included advice from RBC Dominion Securities, Deutsche Bank and Macleod Dixon and extensive contacts and discussions with third parties;

    the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio represents an approximately 25% premium for the Petro-Canada Shares to the 30-day weighted-average trading price of such shares immediately prior to the announcement of the Arrangement;

    Petro-Canada Shareholders will be able to continue to participate in the growth opportunities associated with Amalco, as the combined corporation is anticipated to be a larger, stronger and more efficient company;

    RBC Dominion Securities and Deutsche Bank provided opinions, the full text of which can be found at Appendices E-1 and E-2 to this Information Circular, respectively, that, as of March 22, 2009 and subject to certain assumptions, qualifications and limitations, the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio to be received by Petro-Canada Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Petro-Canada Shareholders. See "— Petro-Canada Fairness Opinions";

    the exchange of Petro-Canada Shares for Amalco Shares will generally be tax-deferred for Petro-Canada Shareholders;

    under the Arrangement Agreement, until the time that the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution is approved, the Petro-Canada Board retains the ability to consider and respond to Superior Proposals on the specific terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement;

    at least 662/3% of the votes cast by Petro-Canada Shareholders at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting are required to approve the Arrangement Resolution. Accordingly, Petro-Canada Shareholders are able to reject the Arrangement Resolution if they choose to do so;

    the Petro-Canada Shareholders have the ability to exercise their Dissent Rights; and

    the Arrangement requires approval by the Court.

        The information and factors described above and considered by the Petro-Canada Board in reaching its determinations and making its approvals are not intended to be exhaustive but include material factors considered by the Petro-Canada Board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Arrangement and the complexity of these matters, the Petro-Canada Board did not find it useful to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In addition, individual members of the Petro-Canada Board may have given different weight to different factors.

Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement

        Suncor and Petro-Canada believe that the combination of the two companies will create a globally competitive integrated energy company with a balanced portfolio of high quality assets, a strong balance sheet and significant growth prospects. There is a risk that Suncor and Petro-Canada may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement. See "— Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement" below.

Premier Canadian Integrated Energy Company

        The combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada will create the fifth largest energy company in North America (based on the current combined market capitalization of Suncor and Petro-Canada) with a total market capitalization of approximately $46.7 billion (based on the combined market capitalization of Suncor and Petro-Canada at April 27, 2009). The combined company is expected to benefit from an integrated business model which will encompass a global leadership position in the oil sands industry, a strong Canadian downstream brand and an attractive portfolio of domestic and international conventional oil and natural gas assets.

48


Expanded Scale

        Suncor and Petro-Canada anticipate that the combined company will have a market presence and the available resources that will allow it to compete on a global scale. In addition to approximately 7.5 billion boe of proved plus probable reserves, the combined company will have an estimated contingent resource base of approximately 19 billion boe. See "Joint Information Circular and Proxy Statement — Disclosure of Combined Reserves and Resources" and "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Selected Combined Operational Information for Amalco".

        Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that the combined company will benefit from the balance and stability provided by a larger portfolio of oil sands, downstream and conventional upstream projects and assets at various stages of development. They believe the increased scale of the combined company will better enable it to achieve growth and accelerate the development of larger projects through a range of commodity price cycles. Suncor and Petro-Canada also believe the combined company will have the size and technical capabilities to better manage the challenges associated with developing large-scale projects.

Balanced Portfolio of High Quality Assets

        The combined company will have an attractive combination of long-life and cash flow generating assets with developmental upside. Suncor and Petro-Canada believe that the combined company will have strong cash flow from current crude oil and natural gas production of approximately 683,000 boe per day (based on average daily production for the year ended December 31, 2008) and North American refining capacity of approximately 433,000 bbls per day. See "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Selected Combined Operational Information for Amalco". The combined company is expected to have a portfolio of assets that will provide strong growth potential as well as the ability to generate strong underlying cash flow through a range of commodity price cycles. The combined company will also be a leading branded gasoline retailer in Canada.

Enhanced Growth Prospects

        Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that the proposed combination will offer Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders the benefit of the quantity and diversity of Suncor's and Petro-Canada's respective development projects. In addition, Suncor and Petro-Canada anticipate that the proposed combination will enable the combined company to accelerate certain development projects.

        The asset growth profiles of Suncor and Petro-Canada are complementary. Suncor brings near-term growth potential from phases 3 and 4 of its Firebag project, and medium-term and long-term growth potential from phases 5 and 6 of its Firebag project, its Voyageur Upgrader project and its Voyageur South mine expansion, subject to receiving required regulatory approvals. Petro-Canada brings near-term growth potential from the White Rose extensions, its Syria gas project and Libya development program, and medium-term and long-term growth potential from its Fort Hills project, MacKay River expansion project and Lewis and Meadow Creek in-situ leases. Suncor and Petro-Canada also anticipate that the combined company will have additional growth potential from its Canadian East Coast assets, downstream operations, renewable energy programs and international conventional assets.

        Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that the strong pro forma balance sheet and financial flexibility of the combined company, as described below, will facilitate further expansion and increase the efficiencies of developing their respective projects. Suncor and Petro-Canada expect the combined company to enhance the development of individual growth projects through improved control of project sequencing and capital allocation, as the projects with the highest potential to generate near-term cash flows, combined with the strongest expected return on capital, will get priority.

Significant Benefits from Synergies

        Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that the combined company will deliver significant cost savings through substantial operating synergies. Suncor and Petro-Canada expect the cost savings to come from optimizing business practices, improving logistics and realizing efficiencies in overlapping operations. In addition, Suncor and Petro-Canada expect the combined company to benefit from significant capital efficiencies through capital

49



reallocation opportunities, including through improved project design and sequencing, the elimination of redundant spending and by targeting capital budgets to projects with the highest priorities. Equally important, but less quantifiable anticipated benefits include balancing of short/long commodity positions, application of project and operating experience to a broader pool of assets and improved use of infrastructure.

Experienced Leadership

        The leadership team of the combined entity will draw upon extensive strategic, operating and financial experience from both organizations with a continued focus on creating shareholder value.

Strong Financial Position

        Suncor and Petro-Canada believe that the combined company will have a strong credit profile, with pro forma debt-to-capitalization of approximately 30% and a debt-to-cash flow from operations ratio of approximately 1.3 times, providing significant financial flexibility. Suncor and Petro-Canada believe that this financial flexibility will position the combined company to succeed through various business and commodity cycles.

Recommendations of the Suncor Board

        After considering, among other things, the Suncor Fairness Opinions, the Suncor Board concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Suncor and is fair to Suncor Shareholders and authorized the entry by Suncor into the Arrangement Agreement and all related agreements. The Suncor Board recommends that the Suncor Shareholders vote in favour of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution.

        In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendations, the Suncor Board considered a number of factors, including the Suncor Fairness Opinions, the expected benefits of the Arrangement and the risks associated with completing the Arrangement.

        The discussion of the information and factors considered and given weight by the Suncor Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In reaching the determination to approve and recommend the Suncor Arrangement Resolution, the Suncor Board did not assign any relative or specific weight to the factors that were considered, and individual directors may have given a different weight to each factor.

Recommendations of the Petro-Canada Board

        After considering, among other things, the Petro-Canada Fairness Opinions, the Petro-Canada Board concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Petro-Canada and is fair to Petro-Canada Shareholders and authorized the entry by Petro-Canada into the Arrangement Agreement and all related agreements. The Petro-Canada Board recommends that the Petro-Canada Shareholders vote in favour of the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution.

        In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendations, the Petro-Canada Board considered a number of factors, including the Petro-Canada Fairness Opinions, the expected benefits of the Arrangement and the risks associated with completing the Arrangement.

        The discussion of the information and factors considered and given weight by the Petro-Canada Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In reaching the determination to approve and recommend the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, the Petro-Canada Board did not assign any relative or specific weight to the factors that were considered, and individual directors may have given a different weight to each factor.

Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement

        An investment in Amalco Shares as a result of the combination of Suncor and Petro-Canada is subject to certain risks. In addition to the risk factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Suncor AIF and under the heading "Risk Management" in the Petro-Canada AIF which are specifically incorporated by reference into this Information Circular, and the risk factors described under "Part V — Information Concerning Suncor — Risk Factors" and "Part VI — Information Concerning Petro-Canada — Risk Factors" in this Information Circular, the following are additional and supplemental risk factors which Suncor Shareholders should carefully consider before making a decision regarding approving the Suncor Arrangement Resolution and which Petro-Canada

50



Shareholders should carefully consider before making a decision regarding approving the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution.

Suncor and Petro-Canada may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement

        Suncor and Petro-Canada are proposing to complete the Arrangement to strengthen the position of each entity in the oil and natural gas industry and to create the opportunity to realize certain benefits including, among other things, those set forth in the Information Circular under "— Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement" above. Achieving the benefits of the Arrangement depends in part on the ability of the combined entity to effectively capitalize on its scale, scope and leadership position in the oil sands industry, to realize the anticipated capital and operating synergies, to profitably sequence the growth prospects of its asset base and to maximize the potential of its improved growth opportunities and capital funding opportunities as a result of combining the businesses and operations of Suncor and Petro-Canada. A variety of factors, including those risk factors set forth in this Information Circular and the documents incorporated by reference herein, may adversely affect the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement.

There are risks related to the integration of Suncor's and Petro-Canada's existing businesses

        The ability to realize the benefits of the Arrangement including, among other things, those set forth in this Information Circular under " — Anticipated Benefits of the Arrangement" above, will depend in part on successfully consolidating functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner, as well as on Amalco's ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from integrating Suncor's and Petro-Canada's businesses following completion of the Arrangement. This integration will require the dedication of substantial management effort, time and resources which may divert management's focus and resources from other strategic opportunities of Amalco following completion of the Arrangement, and from operational matters during this process. The integration process may result in the loss of key employees and the disruption of ongoing business, customer and employee relationships that may adversely affect the ability of Amalco to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement.

Suncor and Petro-Canada may not satisfy all regulatory requirements or obtain the necessary approvals for completion of the Arrangement on satisfactory terms or at all

        Completion of the Arrangement is subject to the approval of the Court and the satisfaction of certain regulatory requirements or the receipt of all necessary regulatory and Suncor Shareholder and Petro-Canada Shareholder approvals. The requirement to take certain actions or to agree to certain conditions to satisfy such requirements or obtain any such approvals may have a material adverse effect on the business and affairs of Amalco or the trading price of the Amalco Shares, after completion of the Arrangement. Unless the failure to obtain required third party approvals or consents would have a Material Adverse Effect on either Suncor or Petro-Canada, or upon completion of the Arrangement, Amalco, the Parties will be required to complete the Arrangement notwithstanding the failure to receive such consents or approvals. See "— Other Regulatory Conditions or Approvals".

Amalco's business mix will be different than that of Suncor and Petro-Canada

        Suncor's business is principally focused on developing the Athabasca oil sands, with downstream refining, marketing and distribution operations primarily in Ontario and Colorado. A material portion of Suncor's historic upstream production, net earnings and cash flow from operations has been derived from its oil sands business. Petro-Canada's business involves operations in Canada (both inland and offshore) and internationally (including in the North Sea, Libya, Syria and Trinidad and Tobago) in the upstream sector (including oil sands and conventional oil and gas exploration, development, production and marketing in Canada and internationally) and the downstream sector (including refining, marketing and distribution in Canada). Amalco's business will entail a combination of these businesses, which will result in a different business mix than the current businesses of Suncor and Petro-Canada, respectively, and which may subject Amalco to different business risks than those which are currently applicable to Suncor and Petro-Canada as separate entities.

51


There are risks related to Petro-Canada's international activities

        A material portion of Petro-Canada's business is currently located outside of North America, with operations in the United Kingdom, Syria, Libya and Trinidad and Tobago. The Arrangement may give rise to certain actions being taken by foreign Governmental Entities in these nations or by other counterparties to contracts in respect of such operations, whereby such Governmental Entities or other counterparties could assert rights of expropriation, nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions and contracts. There can be no assurance that these foreign Governmental Entities or other counterparties will not take the steps noted above in respect of Petro-Canada's current operations in such nations and, if any such steps are taken, there can be no assurance that sufficient remedies will be available to recoup the investments that have been made to date in such areas. Under the Arrangement Agreement the Parties have agreed to complete the Arrangement, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the events listed above, unless such would result in a Material Adverse Change in respect of Suncor, Petro-Canada or, upon completion of the Arrangement, Amalco. The occurrence of any such events in respect of Petro-Canada's current operations in such foreign nations could, following completion of the Arrangement, have an adverse effect on Amalco's business and results of operations as currently contemplated and could adversely affect the ability of Amalco to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement.

        Further, following completion of the Arrangement, Amalco's international operations may be adversely affected by political or economic developments or social instability, which will not be within Amalco's control, including, among other things, the risks of war, terrorism, abduction, expropriation, nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions and contracts, taxation policies, economic sanctions, fluctuating exchange rates and currency controls. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on Amalco's business and results of operations as currently contemplated.

Amalco may be unable to obtain the necessary levels of financing on acceptable terms, or at all, upon the expiration of the existing Petro-Canada and Suncor credit facilities

        Upon the expiration in 2013 of the existing Suncor credit facilities and the existing Petro-Canada credit facilities, Amalco may be unable to obtain a level of credit under new credit facilities on a basis equivalent to the borrowing base of the aggregate of such existing Suncor and Petro-Canada facilities on acceptable terms, or at all. If, upon such expirations, Amalco is unable to obtain a level of credit on acceptable terms necessary to fund its operations and capital programs, as currently contemplated, Amalco may not have other sufficient sources of financing which could result in the curtailment of such operations or capital programs. In addition, any new credit facilities that Amalco enters into, or alternative sources of financing that Amalco may obtain, may be on terms that are less favourable than the terms of the existing Suncor credit facilities and the existing Petro-Canada credit facilities, which could have a material adverse impact on Amalco's future financial position, capital projects and growth opportunities.

The amount of any dividends paid by Amalco will not be guaranteed

        Suncor and Petro-Canada currently pay regular quarterly cash dividends on the Suncor Shares and the Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, and it is currently anticipated that, following completion of the Arrangement, Amalco will pay regular quarterly dividends on the Amalco Shares. See "Part V — Information Concerning Suncor — Dividend History" and "Part VI — Information Concerning Petro-Canada — Dividend History". However, in the future such dividends may be discontinued or the amount of any such dividends paid may fluctuate. The declaration, amount and date of payment of any dividends by Amalco will be determined by the Board of Directors of Amalco from time to time and will be subject to, among other things, earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other conditions prevailing at that time.

52


Following the Arrangement the trading price of the Amalco Shares may be volatile and ownership restrictions may depress the trading price of the Amalco Shares

        The trading price of the Suncor Shares and the Petro-Canada Shares have been and may continue to be subject to and, following completion of the Arrangement, the Amalco Shares may be subject to, material fluctuations and may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, including:

    changes in the market price of the commodities that Suncor and Petro-Canada and, following completion of the Arrangement, Amalco, sell and purchase;

    current events affecting the economic situation in Canada, the United States and internationally;

    trends in the oil and gas industry;

    regulatory and/or government actions;

    changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts;

    acquisitions and financings;

    the economics of current and future projects of Suncor, Petro-Canada or, following completion of the Arrangement, Amalco;

    quarterly variations in operating results;

    the operating and share price performance of other companies, including those that investors may deem comparable;

    the issuance of additional equity securities by Suncor, Petro-Canada or, following completion of the Arrangement, Amalco, as applicable, or the perception that such issuance may occur; and

    purchases or sales of blocks of Suncor Shares, Petro-Canada Shares or, following completion of the Arrangement, Amalco Shares, as applicable.

        Part of this volatility may also be attributable to the current state of the stock market, in which wide price swings are common. This volatility may adversely affect the prices of Suncor Shares, Petro-Canada Shares and, following completion of the Arrangement, the Amalco Shares, regardless of the relative operating performance and could cause the market price of such shares to decline.

        Further, the Individual Share Constraint which will apply to the Amalco Shares pursuant to the Petro-Canada Act may make it more difficult for Amalco to be acquired by a third party, and therefore the likelihood of the market price of Amalco Shares reflecting a possible take-over premium is significantly diminished. See "— Details of the Arrangement — Share Capital of Amalco — Amalco Shares".

Following completion of the Arrangement, Amalco may issue additional equity securities

        Following completion of the Arrangement, Amalco may issue equity securities to finance its activities, including in order to finance acquisitions. If Amalco were to issue Amalco Shares, a holder of Amalco Shares may experience dilution in Amalco's cash flow or earnings per share. Moreover, as Amalco's intention to issue additional equity securities becomes publicly known, the Amalco Share price may be materially adversely affected.

Effect of the Arrangement

General

        Pursuant to the Arrangement, Suncor and Petro-Canada (together with certain of their Subsidiaries) will amalgamate and continue as one company named "Suncor Energy Inc." Immediately following completion of the Arrangement, former Petro-Canada Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 40% of the combined company and former Suncor Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 60% of the combined company.

53


Effect on Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders

        Pursuant to the Arrangement, Suncor Shareholders will receive, for each Suncor Share held, one Amalco Share and Petro-Canada Shareholders will receive, for each Petro-Canada Share held, 1.28 Amalco Shares. After giving effect to the Arrangement, all Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders will have exchanged their Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, for Amalco Shares. As a result of such exchanges pursuant to the Arrangement, the nature of a Suncor Shareholder's and Petro-Canada Shareholder's investment will change. See "— Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement".

        Subject to the qualifications set forth in the sections entitled "— Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "— Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations", the exchange of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement should generally not give rise to any capital gain or capital loss to Shareholders under Canadian or United States federal income tax laws. Eligible Shareholders, holding up to a maximum of 15% of the outstanding Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, may, however, elect to have the exchange of their Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement carried out in such a manner that may allow such Shareholders to realize a capital gain or a capital loss for Canadian federal income tax purposes by making such election in the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form on or before the Election Deadline. The 15% thresholds were determined by Suncor and Petro-Canada having regard to the Petro-Canada Act and other structural limitations that were considered in connection with the Arrangement. See "— Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations", "— Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "— Procedure for Exchange of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares and Election by Eligible Shareholders".

        If, as a result of the Arrangement, a Shareholder would receive a number of Amalco Shares that would result in a contravention of the Individual Share Constraint, Amalco shall take certain steps pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, including not issuing shares to such Shareholder in excess of the Individual Share Constraint and selling or redeeming such excess Amalco Shares in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, to ensure there is not a violation of the Individual Share Constraint. See "— Details of the Arrangement — Share Capital of Amalco — Restrictions in the Amalco Articles". This Information Circular does not address the Canadian or United States federal income tax considerations applicable to such a Shareholder pursuant to the Arrangement or upon the taking of such steps with respect to the excess Amalco Shares. The taking of such steps (by Amalco or otherwise) with respect to any excess Amalco Shares may have material tax consequences to such a Shareholder and any such Shareholder should consult its own tax advisor to determine the tax consequences to them of the Arrangement and the taking of such steps with respect to the excess Amalco Shares.

        See also "— Details of the Arrangement — Arrangement Steps" and "— Details of the Arrangement — Share Capital of Amalco" below.

Effect on Holders of Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options and Awards under Non-Equity Based Compensation Plans and Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan

        Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement: (a) each Suncor Option will be exchanged, at the Effective Time, for a Replacement Option to purchase that number of Amalco Shares equal to the product of the Suncor Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Suncor Shares subject to such Suncor Option with an exercise price per Amalco Share equal to the exercise price per Suncor Share subject to such Suncor Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Suncor Exchange Ratio. As the Suncor Exchange Ratio is 1.00 Amalco Shares for each Suncor Share, in effect, no adjustment will be made to the number of Suncor Shares underlying the Suncor Options or the exercise price of such Suncor Options; and (b) each Petro-Canada Option will be exchanged, at the Effective Time, for a Replacement Option to purchase that number of Amalco Shares equal to the product of the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Petro-Canada Shares subject to such Petro-Canada Option with an exercise price per Amalco Share equal to the exercise price per Petro-Canada Share subject to such Petro-Canada Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest penny.

        Corresponding adjustments will also be made to awards outstanding under Suncor and Petro-Canada non-equity based compensation plans (for instance stock appreciation rights, performance stock units and deferred stock units). All other terms and conditions of such options and awards will be the same as existed prior to such exchange or adjustment, as adjusted to reflect the Arrangement. For greater certainty, Replacement

54



Options will not be granted pursuant to the Amalco Stock Option Plan, but rather will be existing Suncor Options and Petro-Canada Options as adjusted to take into account the effect of the Arrangement.

        For further information with respect to the Suncor Stock Option Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan and the other non-equity based compensation plans of Suncor and Petro-Canada, see Appendix H and Appendix I to this Information Circular, respectively.

        At the Meetings, the Suncor Shareholders and the Petro-Canada Shareholders will each be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass an ordinary resolution to approve the adoption by Amalco of the Amalco Stock Option Plan, conditional on the Arrangement becoming effective. Provided that the adoption of the Amalco Stock Option Plan is approved by the Suncor Shareholders and the Petro-Canada Shareholders as required, Suncor and Petro-Canada do not intend to make further grants of options under the Suncor Option Plans and Petro-Canada Option Plan following completion of the Arrangement. For additional information on the Amalco Stock Option Plan and related matters and the forms of such ordinary resolutions, see "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan" and Appendix K, "Form of Amalco Stock Option Plan".

Change of Control Provisions

        The Arrangement will not result in a "change of control" or any other form of accelerated payment or vesting for the purposes of any employment or consulting services agreement, or any incentive, bonus or similar plan applicable to Suncor, Petro-Canada or their respective directors, officers and employees, including for the purposes of the Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options or pursuant to the plans or agreements in respect thereof.

Details of the Arrangement

General

        The Arrangement will result in the amalgamation of Suncor and Petro-Canada (together with certain of their Subsidiaries) to form Amalco, pursuant to which all of the issued and outstanding Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares (other than those held by Dissenting Shareholders) will be exchanged for Amalco Shares. In addition, the Suncor Shareholder Rights Plan shall terminate and cease to have any further force or effect at the Effective Time and all rights outstanding under the Shareholder Rights Plan shall be cancelled. For further information in respect of Amalco following the completion of the Arrangement, see "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement" and Appendix F, "Amalco Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements".

Arrangement Steps

        The Arrangement involves a number of steps, which will be deemed to occur sequentially commencing at the Effective Time without any further act or formality. The Arrangement will result in the amalgamation of Suncor and Petro-Canada (together with certain of their Subsidiaries) under the CBCA and their continuation as Amalco, as a result of which former Suncor Shareholders and Petro- Canada Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will hold Amalco Shares following completion of the Arrangement. In particular:

(a)
each Suncor Share, other than the Suncor Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders to which paragraph (c) below is applicable, will be converted, without any act or formality on the part of the holder thereof, into that number of fully paid and non-assessable Amalco Shares equal to the Suncor Exchange Ratio, and the name of each such holder will be removed from the register of holders of Suncor Shares and added to the register of holders of Amalco Shares;

(b)
each Petro-Canada Share, other than the Petro-Canada Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders to which paragraph (d) below is applicable, will be converted, without any act or formality on the part of the holder thereof, into that number of fully paid and non-assessable Amalco Shares equal to the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio, and the name of each such holder will be removed from the register of holders of Petro-Canada Shares and added to the register of holders of Amalco Shares;

(c)
each Suncor Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder who has validly exercised their rights of dissent pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement in respect of such Suncor Share and which rights of dissent remain

55


    valid immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and become an entitlement to be paid the fair value of such Suncor Share and the Dissenting Shareholder shall cease to have any rights as a Suncor Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of such Suncor Share by Amalco in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement; and

(d)
each Petro-Canada Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder who has validly exercised their rights of dissent pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement in respect of such Petro-Canada Share and which rights of dissent remain valid immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and become an entitlement to be paid the fair value of such Petro-Canada Share and the Dissenting Shareholder shall cease to have any rights as a Petro-Canada Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of such Petro-Canada Share by Amalco in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

        The Plan of Arrangement also contemplates numerous intermediate steps in order to allow for the conversion of certain Shares held by Electing Shareholders to be carried out in such a manner that may allow such Shareholders to realize a capital gain or a capital loss for Canadian federal income tax purposes. See "— Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "— Procedure For Exchange of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares and Election by Eligible Shareholders". In addition, the Plan of Arrangement contemplates other steps that would be implemented if, as a result of the Arrangement, a Shareholder would receive a number of Amalco Shares that would result in a contravention of the Individual Share Constraint, which steps include providing Amalco with the entitlement to sell or redeem Alamo Shares held by such Shareholder which are in excess of the Individual Share Constraint. See "— Effect on Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders" and "— Details of the Arrangement — Share Capital of Amalco — Restrictions in the Amalco Articles".

        For full particulars in respect of all of the events which will occur pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, see the full text of the Plan of Arrangement which is attached as Schedule 1.1(a) to the Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix C to this Information Circular.

Share Capital of Amalco

        Following completion of the Arrangement the authorized capital of Amalco will consist of an unlimited number of Amalco Shares, an unlimited number of senior preferred shares (the "Senior Preferred Shares") and an unlimited number of junior preferred shares (the "Junior Preferred Shares"). Following completion of the Arrangement, based on the number of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares outstanding on April 27, 2009, there are expected to be approximately 1,557,453,616 Amalco Shares and no Senior Preferred Shares or Junior Preferred Shares issued and outstanding.

        The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions attached to the Amalco Shares, Senior Preferred Shares and Junior Preferred Shares as contained in the Articles of Arrangement.

Amalco Shares

        Subject to the Individual Share Constraint described under "— Restrictions in the Amalco Articles" below, the holders of Amalco Shares will be entitled to one vote per share at all meetings of Amalco shareholders except separate meetings of the holders of another class or series of shares of Amalco. The Amalco Shares will be entitled to dividends, if and when declared by the Amalco Board, and to the distribution of the residual assets of Amalco in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Amalco. The Amalco Shares will be subject to the rights attaching to any outstanding Senior Preferred Shares and Junior Preferred Shares with respect to dividends and distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Amalco.

        The ownership restrictions which will apply to the Amalco Shares may make it more difficult for Amalco to be acquired by a third party, and therefore the likelihood of the market price of Amalco Shares reflecting a possible take-over premium may be significantly diminished. See "— Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement — Following the Arrangement the trading price of the Amalco Shares may be volatile and ownership restrictions may depress the trading price of the Amalco Shares".

56


Restrictions in the Amalco Articles

        As required by the Petro-Canada Act, the current articles of Petro-Canada impose restrictions on the number of Petro-Canada Shares that a shareholder may own, control or vote, and provide Petro-Canada and its directors with powers to enforce these restrictions, including the ability to suspend voting rights, forfeit dividends and compel the sale of Petro-Canada Shares. As the Petro-Canada Act will apply to Amalco following the completion of the Arrangement, the Articles of Arrangement of Amalco will contain similar provisions with respect to Amalco Shares. These provisions will apply to Amalco Shares until such time that the Petro-Canada Act (or the applicable provisions thereof) is repealed by the Government of Canada.

        The following is a summary of the provisions as currently proposed to be included in the Articles of Arrangement of Amalco. The full text of these restrictions is attached to the Plan of Arrangement set forth as Schedule 1.1(a) to the Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix C to this Information Circular.

    Ownership Restriction

        Pursuant to the Individual Share Constraint, no person, together with associates of that person, shall hold, beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, otherwise than by way of security only, in the aggregate voting shares of Amalco to which are attached more than 20% of the votes that may ordinarily be cast to elect directors of Amalco. This restriction does not apply to the Government of Canada. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, the only shares of Amalco that may ordinarily be cast to elect directors of Amalco immediately following the Arrangement will be the Amalco Shares.

        A person is an associate of another person if:

(a)
one is a corporation of which the other is an officer or director;

(b)
one is a corporation that is controlled by the other or by a group of persons of which the other is a member;

(c)
one is a partnership of which the other is a partner;

(d)
one is a trust of which the other is a trustee;

(e)
both are corporations controlled by the same person;

(f)
both are members of a voting trust that relates to voting shares of Amalco;

(g)
both, in the reasonable opinion of the Amalco Board, are parties to an agreement or arrangement a purpose of which is to require them to act in concert with respect to their interests, direct or indirect, in Amalco or are otherwise acting in concert with respect to those interests; or

(h)
both are at the same time associates, within the meaning of any of (a) to (g) above, of the same person;

provided that:

(a)
if a person who would otherwise be an associate of another person submits to Amalco a statutory declaration stating that:

(i)
no voting shares of Amalco held or to be held by the declarant are or will be, to the declarant's knowledge, held in the right of, for the use or benefit of or under the control of, any other person of which the declarant would otherwise be an associate; and

(ii)
the declarant is not acting and will not act in concert with any such other person with respect to their interests, direct or indirect, in Amalco,

    the declarant and that other person are not associates so long as the Amalco Board is satisfied that the statements in the declaration are being complied with and that there are no other reasonable grounds for disregarding the declaration;

(b)
two corporations are not associates pursuant to (h) above by reason only that under (a) above each is an associate of the same individual; and

57


(c)
where the Amalco Board is of the reasonable opinion that any person holds, beneficially owns or controls voting shares to which are attached not more than the lesser of (A) two one-hundredths of one percent of the votes that may ordinarily be cast to elect directors of Amalco, and (B) 10,000 such votes, that person is not an associate of anyone else and no one else is an associate of that person.

    Enforcement

        The Board of Directors of Amalco will be entitled, at any time, to require holders of or subscribers for voting shares and certain other persons to furnish statutory declarations as to ownership of voting shares and certain other matters relevant to the enforcement of the Individual Share Constraint. Amalco will be precluded from accepting any subscription for, or issuing or registering a transfer of, any voting shares if a contravention of the Individual Share Constraint would result.

        The Board of Directors of Amalco will be entitled to determine whether contraventions of the Individual Share Constraint have occurred. If the Board of Directors of Amalco determines that a person, together with associates of that person, is in contravention of the Individual Share Constraint, Amalco will not accept a subscription for shares from or issue or register any transfer of voting shares to that person or any associate of that person. The contravening shareholder and each of its associates will not be able to exercise the voting rights attached to any of its voting shares and Amalco will not pay any dividends or make any other distributions with respect to those voting shares held in contravention of the Individual Share Constraint, or, if it is determined that the contravention was intentional (as determined by the Board of Directors of Amalco), with respect to any of the voting shares held by that shareholder and each of its associates, Amalco will also send to the contravening shareholder a notice requiring it to sell the shares held in contravention of the Individual Share Constraint within a specified period of not less than 45 days. Unless, within the time specified in that notice the contravening shareholder sells or otherwise disposes of the shares held in contravention or provides Amalco with satisfactory evidence that the shareholder is not in contravention of the restriction, Amalco will be entitled to suspend the voting and all other rights attached to the voting shares of the shareholder (other than the right to transfer those shares) and will be entitled to sell or redeem the shares held in contravention of the Individual Share Constraint. Any sale will be made through a stock exchange or, if the shares are not then listed, in such manner as the Board of Directors of Amalco may determine. Amalco will be entitled to redeem voting shares after a reasonable attempt has been made to sell the shares or after the directors have determined that a sale would have material adverse consequences to Amalco or the holders of its voting shares. The redemption price would be the average closing price of the voting shares over the previous ten trading days on which a board lot of voting shares has traded on the principal stock exchange on which the voting shares are listed or a price determined by the directors if the requisite trading of voting shares has not occurred. In the event of the sale or redemption of voting shares by Amalco, the contravening shareholder will be entitled to the net proceeds of the sale or redemption, without interest and less commission, tax or other costs of sale, upon the surrender of the relevant share certificate.

    Interpretation

        For the purposes of the foregoing restrictions and the restrictions outlined under "— Other Restrictions" below:

(a)
the restrictions do not apply with respect to shares held by underwriters solely for the purpose of distributing the shares to the public, or by any person who provides centralized facilities for the clearing of trades in securities and is acting in relation to trades in the shares solely as an intermediary in the payment of the funds or the delivery of securities or both;

(b)
"control" means control in any manner that results in control in fact and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i)
a body corporate is deemed to be controlled by a person if (A) securities of the body corporate to which are attached more than 50% of the votes that may be cast to elect directors are held, otherwise than by way of security only, by or for the benefit of that person, and (B) the votes attached to those securities are sufficient to elect a majority of the directors of the body corporate; and

58


    (ii)
    a partnership or unincorporated organization is deemed to be controlled by a person if an ownership interest therein representing more than 50% of the assets thereof is held, other than by way of security only, by or for the benefit of that person;

(c)
"corporation" includes a body corporate, partnership and unincorporated organization;

(d)
"person" includes any individual, corporation, government, or agency thereof, trustee, executor, administrator and other legal representative; and

(e)
"voting share" means a share carrying a voting right under all circumstances or under some circumstances that have occurred and are continuing, and includes a security currently convertible into such a share and currently exercisable options and rights to acquire such a share or such convertible security.

Senior Preferred Shares

        The Senior Preferred Shares will be issuable in series. The Senior Preferred Shares of each series will rank on a parity with the Senior Preferred Shares of every other series and will be entitled to a preference over the Junior Preferred Shares and the Amalco Shares and any other shares ranking junior to the Senior Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Amalco. The Board of Directors of Amalco will be empowered to fix the number of shares and the rights to be attached to the Senior Preferred Shares of each series, including the amount of dividends and any conversion, voting and redemption rights. Subject to the foregoing and to applicable law, the Senior Preferred Shares as a class will not be entitled to receive notice of or attend or vote at meetings of Amalco shareholders.

Junior Preferred Shares

        The Junior Preferred Shares will be issuable in series. The Junior Preferred Shares of each series will rank on a parity with the Junior Preferred Shares of every other series, rank junior to the Senior Preferred Shares, and will be entitled to a preference over the Amalco Shares and any other shares ranking junior to the Junior Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Amalco. The Amalco Board will be empowered to fix the number of shares and the rights to be attached to the Junior Preferred Shares of each series, including the amount of dividends and any conversion, voting and redemption rights. Subject to the foregoing and to applicable law, the Junior Preferred Shares as a class will not be entitled to receive notice of or attend or vote at meetings of Amalco shareholders.

Other Restrictions

        Petro-Canada's current articles, as required by the Petro-Canada Act, also include provisions: (i) requiring Petro-Canada to maintain its head office in Calgary, Alberta; (ii) prohibiting Petro-Canada from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction, or several related transactions, to any one person or group of associated persons, or to non-residents, other than by way of security only in connection with the financing of Petro-Canada; and (iii) requiring Petro-Canada to ensure (and to adopt, from time to time, policies describing the manner in which Petro-Canada will fulfil the requirement to ensure) that any member of the public can, in either official language of Canada (English and French), communicate with and obtain available services from Petro-Canada's head office and any other facilities where Petro-Canada determines there is significant demand for communication with, and services from, that facility in that language. As required pursuant to the Petro-Canada Act, Amalco's articles will also contain substantially identical provisions following completion of the Arrangement.

Directors and Executive Officers of Amalco Following the Arrangement

        Following the Arrangement, Mr. Richard L. George, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Suncor, will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Amalco, Mr. John T. Ferguson, the current Chairman of Suncor, will serve as Chairman of Amalco, and Mr. Ron A. Brenneman, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Petro-Canada, will serve as Executive Vice-Chairman of Amalco. The proposed

59



Board of Directors of Amalco will consist of eight current members of the Suncor Board (including Messrs. George and Ferguson) and four current members of the Petro-Canada Board. Messrs. George and Brenneman will be joined on the executive team by a combination of the current executive officers of Suncor and Petro-Canada.

See also "— Interests of Certain Persons or Companies in the Arrangement" below.

Auditors of Amalco

        The Plan of Arrangement provides that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Independent Registered Chartered Accountants, the current auditors of Suncor will be the initial auditors of Amalco following the completion of the Arrangement. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP shall continue in office until the close of business of the first annual general meeting of the holders of Amalco Shares, and the Board of Directors of Amalco are authorized to fix the remuneration of the auditors.

The Arrangement Agreement

        The Arrangement is being effected pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement. The Arrangement Agreement contains covenants, representations and warranties of and from each of Suncor and Petro-Canada and various conditions precedent, both mutual and with respect to each entity.

        The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Arrangement Agreement. The Arrangement Agreement is attached as Appendix C to this Information Circular and reference is made thereto for the full text thereof.

Mutual Covenants Regarding Non-Solicitation

        Under the Arrangement Agreement, each of Suncor and Petro-Canada has agreed to certain non-solicitation covenants as follows:

(a)
Each Party will immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions and negotiations (including through any advisors or other parties on its behalf), if any, with any parties conducted before the date of the Arrangement Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal in respect of such Party and will immediately request the return or destruction of all information respecting such Party provided to any third parties who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such Party relating to an Acquisition Proposal in respect of such Party and will use all commercial efforts to ensure that such requests are honoured.

(b)
Neither Suncor nor Petro-Canada will, directly or indirectly, do or authorize or permit any of its Representatives to do any of the following:

(i)
solicit, knowingly facilitate, initiate or encourage any Acquisition Proposal in respect of such Party;

(ii)
enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal, or furnish to any other person any information with respect to its businesses, properties, operations, prospects or conditions (financial or otherwise) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt of any other person to do or seek to do any of the foregoing;

(iii)
waive, or otherwise forbear in the enforcement of, or enter into or participate in any discussions, negotiations or agreements to waive or otherwise forbear in respect of, any rights or other benefits under confidential information agreements, including any "standstill provisions" thereunder; or

(iv)
accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement an Acquisition Proposal;

60


    provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision in the Arrangement Agreement, each of Suncor and Petro-Canada and its officers, directors and advisors may, prior to the approval of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution, in respect of Suncor's obligations, or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, in respect of Petro-Canada's obligations:

    (v)
    enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with a third party who, without any solicitation, initiation or encouragement, directly or indirectly, after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, by Suncor or Petro-Canada or any of its Representatives, seeks to initiate such discussions or negotiations and, subject to execution of a confidentiality and standstill agreement in favour of such Party substantially similar to the Confidentiality Agreement entered into between the Parties (provided that such confidentiality agreement will provide for disclosure thereof (along with all information provided thereunder) to the other Party as set out below), may furnish to such third party information concerning such Party and its business, properties and assets, in each case if, and only to the extent that:

    A.
    the third party has first made a written bona fide Acquisition Proposal which the board of directors of the Party subject to the Acquisition Proposal determines in good faith: (1) that the funds or other consideration necessary to complete the Acquisition Proposal are or are reasonably likely to be available to fund completion of the Acquisition Proposal at the time and on the basis set out therein; (2) after consultation with its financial advisor(s), would or would be reasonably likely to, if consummated in accordance with its terms, result in a transaction financially superior for shareholders of such Party to the transaction contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement; (3) after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside counsel, is reasonably likely to be consummated at the time and on the terms proposed, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal; and (4) after receiving the advice of outside counsel, as reflected in the minutes of the board of directors of such Party, that the taking of such action is necessary for the board of directors of such Party to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws (a "Superior Proposal"); and

    B.
    prior to furnishing such information to or entering into or participating in any such discussions or negotiations with such third party, the Party will (1) provide prompt notice to the other Party to the effect that it is furnishing information to or entering into or participating in discussions or negotiations with such third party, together with a copy of the confidentiality and standstill agreement referenced above and, if not previously provided to such other Party, copies of all information provided to such third party concurrently with the provision of such information to such third party, (2) notify the other Party orally and in writing of any inquiries, offers or proposals with respect to an actual or contemplated Superior Proposal (which written notice will include a copy of any such proposal (and any amendments or supplements thereto), the identity of the person making it, if not previously provided to the other Party, and copies of all information provided to the third party), within 24 hours of the receipt thereof, and (3) keep the other Party informed of the status and details of any such inquiry, offer or proposal and answer the other Party's reasonable questions with respect thereto;

    (vi)
    comply with Multilateral Instrument 62-104 — Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids and similar provisions under Canadian Securities Laws and U.S. Securities Laws relating to the provision of directors' circulars and make appropriate disclosure with respect thereto to its securityholders; and

    (vii)
    accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal from a third party, but only if prior to such acceptance, recommendation, approval or implementation, (A) the board of directors of the Party subject to the Superior Proposal concludes in good faith, after considering all proposals to adjust the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement as contemplated by paragraph (c) immediately below and after receiving the advice of outside counsel as reflected in minutes of the board of directors of such Party, that the taking of such action is necessary for such board of directors to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws, (B) such Party complies with its obligations set forth in paragraph (c) immediately below, and (C) such Party terminates the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with the provisions outlined in

61


      paragraph (f) under the heading "— Termination" below and concurrently pays the required amount(s) outlined under the heading "— Agreement as to Damages" below to the other Party.

(c)
Following receipt of a Superior Proposal, the Party subject to such Superior Proposal will give the other Party, orally and in writing, at least 72 hours advance notice of any decision by the board of directors of the Party subject to such Superior Proposal to accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal, which notice will confirm that such board of directors has determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, will identify the third party making the Superior Proposal and will provide a true and complete copy thereof, including all financing documents, and any amendments thereto. During such 72 hour period, the Party subject to such Superior Proposal agrees not to accept, recommend, approve or enter into any agreement to implement such Superior Proposal and not to release the party making the Superior Proposal from any standstill provisions and will not withdraw, redefine, modify or change its recommendation in respect of the Arrangement. In addition, during such 72 hour period the Party subject to such Superior Proposal will, and will cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate in good faith with the other Party and its financial and legal advisors to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the Party subject to such Superior Proposal to proceed with the Arrangement as amended rather than the Superior Proposal. In the event the other Party proposes to amend the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement on a basis such that the board of directors of the Party subject to the Superior Proposal determines that the proposed transaction is no longer a Superior Proposal and so advises the board of directors of the other Party prior to the expiry of such period, the board of directors of the Party subject to such Acquisition Proposal will not accept, recommend, approve or enter into any agreement to implement such Acquisition Proposal and will not release the Party making the Acquisition Proposal from any standstill provisions and will not withdraw, redefine, modify or change its recommendation in respect of the Arrangement. In the event that a Party provides the notice contemplated by this paragraph on a date which is less than five business days prior to the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting or the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, as the case may be, the other Party will be entitled to (i) adjourn or postpone its shareholders' meeting and (ii) require the Party subject to the Superior Proposal to adjourn or postpone its shareholders' meeting, in each case to a date that is not more than ten business days after the date of such notice.

(d)
Nothing contained in the Arrangement Agreement shall prohibit the board of directors of any Party from withdrawing, modifying, qualifying or changing its recommendation to its shareholders in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement prior to the approval of the Arrangement by such shareholders, if the board of directors of such Party determines, in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and after receiving written advice of outside counsel), that such withdrawal, modification, qualification or change is necessary for the board of directors to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws; provided that (i) not less than 48 hours before the board of directors considers any proposal in respect of any such withdrawal, modification, qualification or change, such Party shall give the other Party written notice of such proposal and promptly advise the other Party of the proposed consideration of such proposal; and (ii) the foregoing shall not relieve a Party from its obligation to proceed to call and hold the applicable shareholders' meeting and to hold the vote on the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, as the case may be, (provided that, except as required under applicable Laws, such Party shall be relieved from its obligations to actively solicit proxies in favour of the Arrangement in such circumstances), except in circumstances where the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms thereof.

(e)
Each Party will ensure that its Representatives are aware of the foregoing provisions of the Arrangement Agreement respecting non-solicitation covenants applicable to such Party. Each Party will be responsible for any breach of such provisions of the Arrangement Agreement by such Party's Representatives.

62


Agreement as to Damages

        Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, each of Suncor and Petro-Canada has agreed that if at any time after the execution of the Arrangement Agreement and prior to its termination:

(a)
the board of directors of one Party has withdrawn, modified, qualified or changed any of its recommendations or determinations in respect of the Arrangement, as outlined in the Arrangement Agreement, in a manner adverse to the other Party or will have resolved to do so prior to the Effective Date, or has failed to publicly reconfirm any such recommendation upon the request of the other Party prior to the earlier of ten days following such request or 72 hours prior to the applicable shareholders' meeting (unless the Party requesting such reconfirmation is then in material breach of its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement and such withdrawal, change or failure relates to such breach);

(b)
a bona fide Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced, proposed, offered or made to the shareholders of either Party or any person will have publicly announced an intention to make a bona fide Acquisition Proposal in respect of a Party and, after such Acquisition Proposal will have been made known, made or announced, Suncor Shareholders (in the case of an Acquisition Proposal in respect of Suncor) or Petro-Canada Shareholders (in the case of an Acquisition Proposal in respect of Petro-Canada), as the case may be, do not approve the Arrangement or vote upon the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, as the case may be, and such Acquisition Proposal or an amended version thereof relating to Suncor or Petro-Canada, as the case may be, is consummated or effected as applicable within six months of the date the first Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced, proposed, offered or made; and for the purpose of the foregoing, the references in the definition of "Acquisition Proposal" to "20% or more of the voting securities" will be deemed to be references to "50% or more of the voting securities", and the references to "a substantial amount of assets" will be deemed to be references to "all or substantially all of the assets";

(c)
the board of directors of a Party accepts, recommends, approves or enters into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal; or

(d)
a Party is in breach of any of its covenants made in the Arrangement Agreement, which breach individually or in the aggregate causes or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change with respect to such Party or materially impedes or would reasonably be expected to materially impede the completion of the Arrangement, and such Party fails to cure such breach within ten business days after receipt of written notice thereof from the other Party,

(each of the above being a "Damages Event") then, in the event of the termination of the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to the provisions set forth under the heading " — Termination" below as a result of such Damages Event, (i) if Suncor is the subject of any Damages Event, it will pay to Petro-Canada, within two business days of the first to occur of the foregoing, a fee in the amount of $300 million as liquidated damages in immediately available funds to an account designated by Petro-Canada and (ii) if Petro-Canada is the subject of any Damages Event, it will pay to Suncor, within two business days of the first to occur of the foregoing, a fee in the amount of $300 million as liquidated damages in immediately available funds to an account designated by Suncor, and after such Damages Event but prior to payment of such amount, the Party required to make such payment will be deemed to hold such funds in trust for the other Party, provided that in the case of a Damages Event pursuant to paragraph (c) above (if the board of directors of a Party accepts, recommends, approves or enters into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal), such payment shall be made by a Party to the other Party concurrently with the acceptance, recommending, approving or entering into of the Superior Proposal by such Party. Suncor will only be obligated to pay a maximum of $300 million pursuant to such provisions of the Arrangement Agreement and Petro-Canada will only be obligated to pay a maximum of $300 million pursuant to such provisions of the Arrangement Agreement.

        If the Arrangement Agreement: (i) is terminated by a Party because of a breach of a representation or warranty by the other Party that gives rise to a termination right, or (ii) if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated by a Party pursuant to paragraph (c) described under the heading " — Termination" below and at the time of such termination the other Party is in breach of its representations, warranties or covenants in the Arrangement Agreement, notwithstanding the availability of any cure period, the other Party shall pay such

63



terminating Party an amount equal to $20 million as reimbursement for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement, provided that if the terminating Party is in material breach of its obligations hereunder at the time of the termination of the Arrangement Agreement such amount will not be payable.

Liquidated Damages

        Each Party acknowledges that the payment amounts set out in the Arrangement Agreement in respect of a Damages Event, or in respect of fees, costs and expenses, are payments of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which Suncor or Petro-Canada will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and resultant termination of the Arrangement Agreement and are not penalties. Each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, the Parties agree that the payment of any such amounts is the sole monetary remedy of Suncor and Petro-Canada; provided, however, that this limitation will not apply in the event of fraud or wilful breach of the Arrangement Agreement by a Party.

Indemnification

        Suncor and Petro-Canada agree that Amalco will maintain in effect without any reduction in scope or coverage for six years from the Effective Date customary policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance providing protection comparable to the most favourable protection provided by the policies maintained by Suncor and Petro-Canada and their respective Subsidiaries as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and providing coverage on a "trailing" or "run-off" basis for all present and former directors and officers of Suncor and Petro-Canada with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred prior to the Effective Date.

        Suncor and Petro-Canada also agree that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favour of present and former officers and directors of each of Suncor and Petro-Canada will survive the Arrangement and will continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Date.

Termination

        Suncor and Petro-Canada have agreed that the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Date:

(a)
by mutual written consent of Suncor and Petro-Canada;

(b)
by either Suncor or Petro-Canada if the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution will have failed to receive the requisite vote of the appropriate shareholders for approval at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) or Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) in accordance with the Interim Order;

(c)
by either Suncor or Petro-Canada if the Effective Time will not have occurred on or prior to March 31, 2010, except that this right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement will not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfil any of its obligations has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur by such date;

(d)
as provided for in the Arrangement Agreement, in the event of a breach of representation, warranty, covenant or condition by a Party after notice of such breach has been provided and the expiration of a ten-day cure period as described under the heading "— Notice and Cure Provisions" below; provided that the Party seeking termination is not then in breach of the Arrangement Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, not to be satisfied;

(e)
by either Suncor or Petro-Canada upon the occurrence of a Damages Event in respect of the other Party; or

(f)
by either Suncor or Petro-Canada to accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, provided that such Party (i) has complied with its obligations described under the heading "— Mutual Covenants Regarding Non-Solicitation" above and (ii) concurrently pays the amount(s) required under the heading "— Agreement as to Damages" above.

64


        Under the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement, in the event of the termination of the Arrangement Agreement in the circumstances set out above, the Arrangement Agreement will become void and neither Party will have any liability or further obligation to the other Party thereunder, except with respect to: (a) certain indemnification obligations set forth in the Arrangement Agreement (including as described under the heading "— Indemnification" above), and (b) the payment of the fees outlined above under the heading " — Agreement as to Damages", where applicable. However, no Party shall be relieved from liability for any breach of any provision of the Arrangement Agreement and no termination of the Arrangement Agreement will affect the obligations of the Parties pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement entered into between the Parties, except to the extent specified therein.

(a)
the representations and warranties made by Petro-Canada in the Arrangement Agreement will be true and correct as of the Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date or except as affected by transactions contemplated or permitted by the Arrangement Agreement), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and complete, individually or in the aggregate, would not result or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change in respect of Petro-Canada or would not, or would not reasonably be expected to, materially impede completion of the Arrangement, and Petro-Canada will have provided to Suncor a certificate of two senior officers of Petro-Canada certifying the foregoing on the Effective Date;

(b)

        The foregoing conditions are for the exclusive benefit of Suncor and may be asserted by Suncor regardless of the circumstances or may be waived in writing by Suncor in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without prejudice to any other rights which Suncor may have.

(a)
the representations and warranties made by Suncor in the Arrangement Agreement will be true and correct as of the Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date or except as affected by transactions contemplated or permitted by the Arrangement Agreement), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and complete, individually or in the aggregate, would not result or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change in respect of Suncor or would not, or would not reasonably be expected to, materially impede completion of the Arrangement, and Suncor will have provided to Petro-Canada a certificate of two senior officers of Suncor certifying the foregoing on the Effective Date;

Notice and Cure Provisions

        Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Suncor and Petro-Canada are required to give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date of the Arrangement Agreement until the Effective Date, of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to: (a) cause any of the representations or warranties of either Party contained in the Arrangement Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date of the Arrangement Agreement or at the Effective Date; or (b) result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by either Party prior to or at the Effective Date.

        If any of the conditions of the Arrangement as outlined in the Arrangement Agreement (as described above) will not be complied with or waived by the Party for whose benefit such conditions are provided on or before the date required for the performance thereof, then a Party for whose benefit the condition precedent is provided may rescind and terminate the Arrangement Agreement as provided in paragraph (d) under the heading "— Termination" above; provided that neither Suncor nor Petro-Canada may elect to rescind and terminate the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to the conditions contained in the Arrangement Agreement (as described above) or exercise any termination right arising therefrom unless forthwith, and in any event prior to the issuance of the Certificate by the Director, the Party intending to rely thereon has delivered a written notice to the other Party specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, inaccuracies of representations and warranties or other matters which the Party delivering such notice is asserting as the basis for the non-fulfillment of the applicable condition or the availability of a termination right, as the case may be. If any such notice is delivered, provided that a Party is proceeding diligently to cure any such matter capable of cure, no Party may terminate the Arrangement Agreement until the expiration of a period of ten business days from the date of receipt of such notice. If such notice has been delivered prior to the date of the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting or the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, Suncor or Petro-Canada, as the case may be, may elect to postpone the meeting of its shareholders until the expiry of such period.

67

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Suncor Arrangement Resolution authorizes the Suncor Board, without further notice to or approval of the Suncor Shareholders, subject to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement, to amend the Plan of Arrangement or the Arrangement Agreement or to decide not to proceed with the Arrangement at any time prior to the Arrangement becoming effective pursuant to the provisions of the CBCA.

Court Approvals

Interim Order

        On April 29, 2009, the Court granted the Interim Order facilitating the calling of the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting and the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting and prescribing the conduct of the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting and the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting and other matters. The Interim Order is attached as Appendix B to this Information Circular.

Final Order

        The CBCA provides that an arrangement requires Court approval. Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, and if the Suncor Arrangement Resolution is approved by Suncor Shareholders at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting in the manner required by the Interim Order and the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution is approved by the Petro-Canada Shareholders at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting in the

68



manner required by the Interim Order, Suncor and Petro-Canada will make application to the Court for the Final Order.

        The application for the Final Order approving the Arrangement is scheduled for Friday, June 5, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. (Calgary time), or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard, at the Calgary Courts Centre, 601 - 5th Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta. At the hearing, any Suncor Shareholder or Petro-Canada Shareholder and any other interested party who wishes to participate or to be represented or to present evidence or argument may do so, subject to filing with the Court and serving upon Suncor or Petro-Canada, as the case may be, on or before noon (Calgary time) on May 29, 2009, a notice of intention to appear indicating whether such shareholder or other interested party intends to support or oppose the application or make submissions thereat, together with a summary of the position such shareholder or other interested party intends to advocate before the Court and any evidence or materials which such party intends to present to the Court. Service of such notice shall be effected by service upon the solicitors for Suncor: Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Suite 3500, Bankers Hall East Tower, 855 - 2nd Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 4J8 Attention: A. Webster Macdonald Jr., Q.C., or the solicitors for Petro-Canada: Macleod Dixon LLP, Suite 3700, 400 Third Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4H2 Attention: John J. Marshall, Q.C. or Roger F. Smith. See "Notice of Joint Petition".

        The Amalco Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. The Court has been advised that if the terms and conditions of the Arrangement are approved by the Court, Suncor and Petro-Canada intend to use the Final Order of the Court approving the Arrangement as a basis for the exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of the Amalco Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement. Therefore, should the Court make a Final Order approving the Arrangement, Amalco Shares and any other securities to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act.

        Each of Suncor and Petro-Canada has been advised by its counsel that the Court has broad discretion under the CBCA when making orders with respect to the Arrangement and that the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement, both from a substantive and a procedural point of view. The Court may approve the Arrangement, either as proposed or as amended, in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court thinks fit. Depending upon the nature of any required amendments, Suncor and Petro-Canada may determine not to proceed with the Arrangement.

Stock Exchange Listing Approvals

        It is a mutual condition to completion of the Arrangement that the TSX and NYSE shall have conditionally approved the listing of the Amalco Shares issuable or to be made issuable pursuant to the Arrangement on the TSX and NYSE. The TSX and NYSE have conditionally approved the listing of the Amalco Shares to be issued or to be made issuable pursuant to the Arrangement, subject to Suncor and Petro-Canada fulfilling the requirements of such exchanges.

        The Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares will be delisted from the TSX and NYSE following the completion of the Arrangement.

Other Regulatory Conditions or Approvals

        In addition to the approval of Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders and the Court, it is a condition precedent to the implementation of the Arrangement that all requisite regulatory conditions be satisfied or approvals be obtained. See "Part I — The Arrangement — The Arrangment Agreement — Conditions to the Arrangement — Mutual Conditions".

Competition Act Compliance

        Part IX of the Competition Act requires that the Commissioner be notified of certain classes of transactions that exceed the thresholds set out in Sections 109 and 110 of the said Act ("Notifiable Transactions") by the parties to the transaction.

69


        Subject to certain limited exceptions, the parties to a Notifiable Transaction cannot complete the transaction until they have submitted the information prescribed pursuant to Subsection 114(1) of the Competition Act to the Commissioner and the applicable waiting period has expired or been terminated by the Commissioner. The waiting period is 30 calendar days after the day on which the parties to the transaction submit the prescribed information, provided that, before the expiry of this period, the Commissioner has not notified the parties that she requires additional information that is relevant to the Commissioner's assessment of the transaction pursuant to Subsection 114(2) of the Competition Act (a "Supplementary Information Request"). In the event that the Commissioner provides the parties with a Supplementary Information Request, the parties cannot complete their transaction until 30 calendar days after compliance with such Supplementary Information Request, provided that there is no order in effect prohibiting completion at the relevant time. A transaction may be completed before the end of the applicable waiting period if the Commissioner notifies the parties that she does not, at such time, intend to challenge the transaction by making an application under Section 92 of the Competition Act.

        Alternatively, or in addition to filing the prescribed information, a party to a Notifiable Transaction may apply to the Commissioner for an advance ruling certificate (an "ARC") or a "no-action" letter, which may be issued by the Commissioner in respect of a proposed transaction if she is satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds on which to apply to the Competition Tribunal for an order challenging the transaction under Section 92 of the Competition Act.

        At any time before a "merger" (as such term is defined under the Competition Act) is completed, even where the Commissioner has been notified under Subsection 114(1) of the Competition Act and the applicable waiting period has expired, the Commissioner may apply to the Competition Tribunal for an interim order under Subsection 100(1) of the Competition Act forbidding any person named in the application from doing any act or thing where it appears to the Competition Tribunal that such act or thing may constitute or be directed toward the completion or implementation of a proposed merger. The Competition Tribunal may issue such order for up to 30 calendar days where (a) the Commissioner has certified that an inquiry is being made under paragraph 10(1)(b) of the Competition Act and that, in her opinion, more time is required to complete the inquiry, and (b) the Competition Tribunal finds that, in the absence of an interim order, a party to the proposed merger or any other person is likely to take an action that would substantially impair the ability of the Competition Tribunal to remedy the effect of the proposed merger on competition under Section 92 of the Competition Act because that action would be difficult to reverse. The duration of such interim order may be extended for an additional period of up to 30 calendar days where the Competition Tribunal finds, on application made by the Commissioner, that the Commissioner is unable to complete the inquiry within the period specified in the order because of circumstances beyond the control of the Commissioner.

        Whether or not a merger is subject to notification under Part IX of the Competition Act, the Commissioner can apply to the Competition Tribunal for a remedial order under Section 92 of the Competition Act at any time before the merger has been completed or, if completed, within one year after it was substantially completed, provided that the Commissioner did not issue an ARC in respect of the merger, or, if the Commissioner did issue an ARC in respect of the merger, provided that (a) the merger was completed within one year from when the ARC was issued and (b) the grounds upon which the Commissioner intends to apply to the Competition Tribunal for a remedial order are not the same or substantially the same as the information on the basis of which the ARC was issued. On application by the Commissioner under Section 92 of the Competition Act, the Competition Tribunal may, where it finds that the merger prevents or lessens, or is likely to prevent or lessen, competition substantially, order that the merger not proceed or, if completed, order its dissolution or the disposition of some of the assets or shares involved in such merger; in addition to, or in lieu thereof, with the consent of the person against whom the order is directed and the Commissioner, the Competition Tribunal can order a person to take any other action. The Competition Tribunal cannot, however, issue a remedial order where it finds that the merger or proposed merger has brought or is likely to bring about gains in efficiency that will be greater than, and will offset, the effects of any prevention or lessening of competition that will result or is likely to result from the merger and that the gains in efficiency would not likely be attained if the order were made.

        The transactions contemplated by the Arrangement are a Notifiable Transaction and also constitute a "merger" for the purposes of the Competition Act. Suncor and Petro-Canada filed notifications pursuant to

70


Subsection 114(1) of the Competition Act with the Commissioner on March 27, 2009 and March 28, 2009, with an effective date of March 30, 2009. Suncor and Petro-Canada submitted a request for an ARC or "no-action" letter to the Commissioner on April 6, 2009 and the Parties have had meetings with the Competition Bureau to discuss the same. As expected, on April 29, 2009, the Commissioner issued a Supplementary Information Request in respect of the Arrangement to each of Suncor and Petro-Canada which has the effect of extending the statutory waiting period for completing the Arrangement, as described above. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Commissioner will not apply to the Competition Tribunal under Subsection 100(1) or Section 92 of the Competition Act in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, and if such application is made, there can be no assurance that the Competition Tribunal will not issue an order under Subsection 100(1) or Section 92 of the Competition Act.

HSR Act Compliance

        Under the HSR Act, certain transactions may not be completed until each party has filed a Notification and Report Form with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") and with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and the HSR Act's 30 calendar-day waiting period has expired or been earlier terminated. The transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement are subject to the HSR Act.

        Suncor and Petro-Canada filed the requisite Notification and Report Forms on April 3, 2009, and the FTC granted early termination of the waiting period on April 14, 2009. At any time before or after the Arrangement is completed, the DOJ, the FTC, or others (including states and private parties) could take an action under the antitrust laws, including seeking to prevent the merger, to rescind the merger, or to conditionally approve the merger upon the divestiture of assets of Suncor and Petro-Canada. There can be no assurance that a challenge to the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if a challenge is made, that it would not be successful.

Canada Transportation Act

        Subsection 53.1(1) of the CTA provides that every person who is required to notify the Commissioner under subsection 114(1) of the Competition Act of a proposed transaction that involves a transportation undertaking shall, at the same time as the Commissioner is notified and, in any event, not later than the date by which the person is required to notify the Commissioner, give notice of the proposed transaction to the Transport Minister. Transactions that are subject to notification under the CTA cannot be completed until the requirements noted below have been satisfied. The transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement also may be subject to notification under subsection 53.1(1) of the CTA.

        While Suncor and Petro-Canada are of the view that the CTA likely does not apply to the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, as a precaution the Parties filed their notice under subsection 53.1(1) of the CTA to the Transport Minister on March 30, 2009. Under the CTA, the Transport Minister is required to inform the Parties within 42 days of the receipt of the Parties' notification whether, in the Transport Minister's opinion, the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement raise issues with respect to the public interest as it relates to national transportation. At any time during or at the end of the 42 day period, the Transport Minister may notify the Parties that the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement do not raise issues with respect to the public interest as it relates to national transportation, in which case the consummation of the transactions would no longer be prohibited under the CTA. Alternatively, if the Transport Minister determines that the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement raise issues with respect to the public interest as it relates to national transportation, the Parties cannot complete the transactions until they are approved by the Governor in Council. If this approval is required, the Transport Minister will direct the Canada Transportation Agency to examine the public interest issues and to report to the Transport Minister within 150 days (or within any longer period that the Transport Minister allows); within this same period, the Commissioner of Competition must report to the Transport Minister and the parties to the transaction on any concerns regarding potential prevention or lessening of competition that may occur as a result of the transaction. The Transport Minister will then make a recommendation to the Governor in Council as to whether to approve the proposed transaction. The Governor in Council has the authority to approve the transaction either conditionally or unconditionally.

71


        On April 24, 2009, the Transport Minister confirmed that the transaction does not raise public interest issues as it relates to national transportation, thus concluding the process under the CTA for the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement.

Suncor Fairness Opinions

        The Petro-Canada Board concurs with the views of RBC Dominion Securities as set forth in the RBC Fairness Opinion. The views of RBC Dominion Securities were one of the important considerations in the Petro-Canada Board's decision to proceed with the Arrangement.

72


Deutsche Bank Fairness Opinion

        Petro-Canada also retained Deutsche Bank as financial advisor to Petro-Canada in connection with the Arrangement. As part of this mandate, Deutsche Bank was requested to provide the Petro-Canada Board with its opinion as to the fairness to Petro-Canada Shareholders, from a financial point of view, of the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio. In connection with this mandate, Deutsche Bank has prepared the Deutsche Bank Fairness Opinion. The Deutsche Bank Fairness Opinion states that, based on the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, Deutsche Bank is of the opinion as investment bankers that, as of March 22, 2009, the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Petro-Canada Shareholders (other than holders of Petro-Canada Shares in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised). The Deutsche Bank Fairness Opinion is subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications contained therein and should be read in its entirety. See Appendix E-2, "Deutsche Bank Fairness Opinion".

        The Petro-Canada Board concurs with the views of Deutsche Bank as set forth in the Deutsche Bank Fairness Opinion. The views of Deutsche Bank were one of the important considerations in the Petro-Canada Board's decision to proceed with the Arrangement.

Timing

        If the Meetings are held as scheduled and are not adjourned and the other necessary conditions at that point in time are satisfied or waived, Suncor and Petro-Canada will apply for the Final Order approving the Arrangement on Friday, June 5, 2009. If the Final Order is obtained in a form and substance satisfactory to Suncor and Petro-Canada, and all other conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived by the applicable Party, Suncor and Petro-Canada expect the Effective Date to occur in the third quarter of 2009, following the receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals and consents. It is not possible at this time, however, to state with certainty when the Effective Date will occur.

        The Arrangement will become effective as of the Effective Time and on the Effective Date, which is expected to be the date of the filing with the Director of the Articles of Arrangement and a copy of the Final Order, together with such other materials as may be required by the Director.

        The Effective Date could be delayed, however, for a number of reasons, including an objection before the Court at the hearing of the application for the Final Order or the failure to receive any required regulatory, governmental or third party consents on acceptable terms and conditions in a timely manner.

Procedure for Exchange of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares and Election by Eligible Shareholders

        In order to receive Amalco Shares on the completion of the Arrangement, Registered Holders of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares must deposit with the Depositary (at one of the addresses which will be specified on the last page of the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form) the applicable validly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form together with the certificates representing the Registered Holder's Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, and such other documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require.

        Eligible Shareholders electing to have the exchange of their Shares for Amalco Shares carried out in such a manner that may allow such Shareholders to realize a capital gain or a capital loss for Canadian federal income tax purposes may do so by making such election in the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form on or before the Election Deadline which will be specified in the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form. To the extent that such elections are made in respect of greater than 15% of the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, the number of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, in respect of which such elections were made will be prorated among all Suncor Electing Shareholders or Petro-Canada Electing Shareholders, as applicable, such that the aggregate number of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, in respect of which such elections are permitted to be made is equal to 15% of the outstanding Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, and the remainder of such Shares shall be converted to Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and such conversion will generally occur on a tax-deferred basis for Canadian federal income tax purposes. To the extent that any such proration is required, Amalco will issue a news release following the Effective Time of the Arrangement as to the proportion of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares in respect of which such elections were not accepted in accordance with the Arrangement. The 15% thresholds

73



were determined by Suncor and Petro-Canada having regard to the Petro-Canada Act and other structural limitations that were considered in connection with the Arrangement. See " — Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations".

        Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares held by Eligible Shareholders who do not deposit with the Depositary the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form with the appropriate election made on or before the Election Deadline or do not otherwise comply with the requirements of the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form and the instructions therein will be converted to Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and such conversion will generally occur on a tax-deferred basis for Canadian federal income tax purposes. Beneficial Shareholders (i.e.,  Shareholders who hold their Shares through a broker, financial institution or other nominee) who are eligible to and want to have their exchange of Shares for Amalco Shares carried out in such a manner as may allow such Shareholders to realize capital gains or capital losses for Canadian federal income tax purposes should contact their broker, financial institution or other nominee through whom their Shares are held to make the necessary arrangements.

        Suncor and Petro-Canada currently anticipate that the Arrangement will be completed in the third quarter of 2009. Once there is more certainty as to when the Arrangement will be completed, registered Shareholders will be provided with the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form. At such time, the Suncor Letter of Transmittal and Election Form and the Petro-Canada Letter of Transmittal and Election Form will be available on Suncor's website at www.suncor.com, on Petro-Canada's website at www.petro-canada.ca and on the merger transition website of Suncor and Petro-Canada at www.suncorpetro-canada.ca. The Letters of Transmittal and Election Form will also be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Additional copies of the Letters of Transmittal and Election Forms will also be available by contacting the proxy solicitation agent, Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc., toll free at 1-866-851-2638 or using the other contact details listed on the back page of this Information Circular.

        Shareholders whose Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee must contact their nominee to deposit their Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares.

        The use of the mail to transmit certificates representing Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares and the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form will be at the risk of the Registered Holders of such Shares. Suncor and Petro-Canada recommend that such certificates and documents be delivered by hand to the Depositary and a receipt therefor be obtained or that registered mail be used.

        Except as otherwise provided in the instructions in the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form, all signatures on: (i) the Letters of Transmittal and Election Forms; and (ii) certificates representing Shares must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

        From and after the Effective Time, certificates representing Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that were exchanged pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement shall represent only the right to receive the Amalco Shares which the Registered Holders of such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares are entitled under the Arrangement. All dividends or other payments made with respect to any Amalco Shares for which a certificate has not been issued shall be paid or delivered to the Depositary to be held by the Depositary in trust for the Registered Holder of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares to which such unissued certificate relates. The Depositary shall pay and deliver to any such Registered Holder of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of the applicable share certificate is made to the Depositary, such dividends or other payments to which such Registered Holder of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares is entitled, net of applicable withholding and other taxes.

        Subject to applicable legislation relating to unclaimed personal property, any certificate formerly representing Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that is not deposited with all other documents as required by the Plan of Arrangement on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature including the right of the Registered Holder of such Shares to receive Amalco Shares (and any dividend or other distributions thereon). In such case, such Amalco Shares (together with all dividends or other distributions thereon) shall be returned to Amalco and such Amalco Shares shall be cancelled.

74


Treatment of Fractional Amalco Shares

        No certificates representing fractional Amalco Shares shall be issued to Petro-Canada Shareholders under the Arrangement. In lieu of any fractional Amalco Share, each Registered Holder of Petro-Canada Shares otherwise entitled to a fractional interest in an Amalco Share shall receive the nearest whole number of Amalco Shares (with any fractions equal to exactly 0.5 being rounded up).

Return of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares

        If the Arrangement is not completed, any deposited Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares will be returned to the depositing Suncor Shareholder or Petro-Canada Shareholder at Suncor's or Petro-Canada's expense, as applicable, upon written notice to the Depositary from Suncor or Petro-Canada, as applicable, by returning the deposited Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares (and any other relevant documents) by first class insured mail in the name of and to the address specified by the Suncor Shareholder or Petro-Canada Shareholder in the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form or, if such name and address is not so specified, in such name and to such address as shown on the register maintained by Suncor's or Petro-Canada's transfer agent, as applicable.

Mail Service Interruption

        Notwithstanding the provisions of the Information Circular, Letters of Transmittal and Election Forms, Arrangement Agreement or Plan of Arrangement, certificates representing Amalco Shares, and certificates representing Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares to be returned if applicable, will not be mailed if Suncor and Petro-Canada determine that delivery thereof by mail may be delayed.

        Persons entitled to certificates and other relevant documents which are not mailed for the foregoing reason may take delivery thereof at the office of the Depositary at which the deposited certificates representing Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares in respect of which certificates are being issued were originally deposited upon application to the Depositary until such time as Suncor and Petro-Canada have determined that delivery by mail will no longer be delayed.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing section, certificates and other relevant documents not mailed for the foregoing reason will be conclusively deemed to have been delivered on the first day upon which they are available for delivery at the office of the Depositary at which the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares were deposited.

Lost Certificates

        If any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented an interest in outstanding Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that were exchanged pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit to Suncor or Petro-Canada, as applicable, and their respective transfer agent of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and the provision of a letter describing the loss addressed to the applicable transfer agent and the applicable Letter of Transmittal and Election Form completed as fully as possible, the Depositary will issue and deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the consideration to which the holder is entitled pursuant to the Arrangement as determined in accordance with the Arrangement. The person who is entitled to receive such consideration shall, as a condition precedent to the receipt thereof, give a bond to each of Suncor or Petro-Canada, as applicable, and their respective transfer agent, which bond is in form and substance satisfactory to each of Suncor or Petro-Canada, as applicable, and their respective transfer agent, or shall otherwise indemnify Suncor or Petro-Canada, as applicable, and their respective transfer agent against any claim that may be made against any of them with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Right to Dissent

        Section 190 of the CBCA provides registered shareholders of a corporation with the right to dissent from certain resolutions that effect extraordinary corporate transactions or fundamental corporate changes. The Interim Order expressly provides Registered Holders with Dissent Rights in respect of the Suncor Arrangement

75



Resolution and the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, as applicable, pursuant to Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order. Any Registered Holder who dissents from the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution in compliance with Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, will be entitled, in the event the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid by Amalco the fair value of the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, held by such Dissenting Shareholder determined as of the close of business on the day before the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, as applicable, is adopted. Shareholders are cautioned that fair value could be determined to be less than the value of the consideration payable pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement and that the proceeds of disposition received by a Dissenting Shareholder may be treated in a different, and potentially more adverse, manner under Canadian and United States federal income tax laws than had such shareholder exchanged his or her Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. In addition, any judicial determination of fair value will result in delay of receipt by a Dissenting Shareholder of consideration for such Dissenting Shareholder's Dissenting Shares.

        The following is only a summary of the dissenting shareholder provisions of the CBCA (as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order as described below or any other interim order of the Court), which are technical and complex. A copy of Section 190 of the CBCA is attached as Appendix G to this Information Circular. It is recommended that any Registered Holder wishing to avail himself or herself of the Dissent Rights seek legal advice, as failure to strictly comply with the provisions of the CBCA (as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order) may prejudice his or her Dissent Rights.

        Section 190 of the CBCA provides that a Dissenting Shareholder may only make a claim under that section with respect to all of the shares of a class held by the Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the Dissenting Shareholder's name. One consequence of this provision is that only a Registered Holder may exercise the Dissent Rights in respect of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that are registered in that Shareholder's name.

        In many cases, Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Holder are registered either: (i) in the name of an Intermediary that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Shares; or (ii) in the name of a depositary (such as CDS) of which the Intermediary is a participant. Accordingly, a Non-Registered Holder will not be entitled to exercise its Dissent Rights directly (unless the Shares are re-registered in the Non-Registered Holder's name). A Non-Registered Holder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights should immediately contact the Intermediary with whom the Non-Registered Holder deals in respect of its Shares and either (i) instruct the Intermediary to exercise the Dissent Rights on the Non-Registered Holder's behalf (which, if the Shares are registered in the name of CDS or other clearing agency, may require that such Shares first be re-registered in the name of the Intermediary), or (ii) instruct the Intermediary to re-register such Shares in the name of the Non-Registered Holder, in which case the Non-Registered Holder would be able to exercise the Dissent Rights directly. In addition, pursuant to the Interim Order, a Dissenting Shareholder may not exercise Dissent Rights in respect of only a portion of such Dissenting Shareholder's Shares but may dissent only with respect to all Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder.

        The Dissent Procedures require that a Registered Holder of Suncor Shares who wishes to dissent must send a written notice of objection to the Suncor Arrangement Resolution to Suncor (i) c/o Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Suite 3500, Bankers Hall East Tower, 855 - 2nd Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4J8 (Attention: A. Webster Macdonald Jr., Q.C.) or (ii) by facsimile transmission to c/o Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Facsimile: (403) 260-9700 (Attention: A. Webster Macdonald Jr., Q.C.), in either case, to be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on June 2, 2009 or, in the case of any adjournment or postponement of the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting, by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the day of the adjourned or postponed Suncor Shareholders' Meeting, and must otherwise strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures described in this Information Circular. These Dissent Procedures are different than the statutory dissent procedures of the CBCA which would permit a notice of objection to be provided at or prior to the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting. Failure to strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures will result in loss of the Dissent Right.

        The Dissent Procedures require that a Registered Holder of Petro-Canada Shares who wishes to dissent must send a written notice of objection to the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution to Petro-Canada

76



(i) c/o Macleod Dixon LLP, Suite 3700, 400 Third Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4H2 (Attention: John J. Marshall, Q.C. or Roger F. Smith) or (ii) by facsimile transmission to c/o Macleod Dixon LLP, Facsimile: (403) 264-5973 (Attention: John J. Marshall, Q.C. or Roger F. Smith), in either case, to be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on June 2, 2009 or, in the case of any adjournment or postponement of the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the day of the adjourned or postponed Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, and must otherwise strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures described in this Information Circular. These Dissent Procedures are different than the statutory dissent procedures of the CBCA which would permit a notice of objection to be provided at or prior to the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting. Failure to strictly comply with the Dissent Procedures will result in loss of the Dissent Right.

        The filing of a Dissent Notice does not deprive a Registered Holder of the right to vote at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting or Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, as the case may be. However, the CBCA provides, in effect, that a Registered Holder who has submitted a Dissent Notice and who votes in favour of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, as applicable, will no longer be considered a Dissenting Shareholder with respect to that class of shares voted in favour of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, being either the Suncor Shares or the Petro-Canada Shares. The CBCA does not provide, and Suncor and Petro-Canada will not assume, that a proxy submitted instructing the proxyholder to vote against the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, or an abstention from voting, constitutes a Dissent Notice, but a Registered Holder is not required to vote its Shares against the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution in order to dissent. Similarly, the revocation of a proxy conferring authority on the proxyholder to vote in favour of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution does not constitute a Dissent Notice. However, any proxy granted by a Registered Holder who intends to dissent, other than a proxy that instructs the proxyholder to vote against the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, should be validly revoked in order to prevent the proxyholder from voting such Shares in favour of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, as the case may be, and thereby causing the Registered Holder to forfeit its Dissent Rights. See "Part VII — General Proxy Matters — Suncor" and "Part VIII — General Proxy Matters — Petro-Canada".

        Each of Suncor and Petro-Canada (or their successors) is required within ten days after the Shareholders adopt the Suncor Arrangement Resolution and the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, respectively, to notify each Dissenting Shareholder that the Suncor Arrangement Resolution and the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, respectively, has been adopted. Such notice is not required to be sent to any Shareholder who voted in favour of the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution, as applicable, or who has withdrawn his or her Dissent Notice.

        A Dissenting Shareholder who has not withdrawn its Dissent Notice prior to the Meeting must, within 20 days after receipt of notice that the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, or if the Dissenting Shareholder does not receive such notice, within 20 days after learning that the Suncor Arrangement Resolution or the Petro-Canada Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, send to Suncor or Petro-Canada, as applicable, a Demand for Payment. Within 30 days after sending the Demand for Payment, the Dissenting Shareholder must send to Suncor or Petro-Canada, as applicable, certificates representing the Dissenting Shares. Suncor or Petro-Canada or the Depositary will endorse on share certificates received from a Dissenting Shareholder a notice that the holder is a Dissenting Shareholder and will forthwith return the share certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder. A Dissenting Shareholder who fails to make a Demand for Payment in the time required, or to send certificates representing Dissenting Shares in the time required, has no right to make a claim under Section 190 of the CBCA.

        Under Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, after sending a Demand for Payment, a Dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a Shareholder in respect of its Dissenting Shares other than the right to be paid the fair value of the Dissenting Shares by Amalco as determined pursuant to the Interim Order, unless: (i) the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws its Dissent Notice before Amalco makes an Offer to Pay; or (ii) Amalco fails to make an Offer to Pay in accordance with subsection 190(12) of the CBCA and the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Demand for Payment, in which case the Dissenting Shareholder's rights as a Shareholder will be reinstated.

77


        Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, in no case shall Amalco or any other person be required to recognize any Dissenting Shareholder as a Shareholder after the Effective Time, and the names of such Shareholders shall be deleted from the list of Registered Holders at the Effective Time.

        Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid the fair value for their Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have transferred such Dissenting Shares to Amalco at the Effective Time.

        Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately determined not to be entitled, for any reason, to be paid the fair value for their Dissenting Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as any non-Dissenting Shareholder as at and from the Effective Time.

        Amalco is required, not later than seven days after the later of the Effective Date and the date on which a Demand for Payment is received from a Dissenting Shareholder, to send to each Dissenting Shareholder who has sent a Demand for Payment an Offer to Pay for its Dissenting Shares in an amount considered by Amalco to be the fair value of the Shares, accompanied by a statement showing the manner in which the fair value was determined. Every Offer to Pay for shares of the same class must be on the same terms. Amalco must pay for the Dissenting Shares of a Dissenting Shareholder within ten days after an Offer to Pay has been accepted by a Dissenting Shareholder, but any such offer lapses if Amalco does not receive an acceptance within 30 days after the Offer to Pay has been made.

        If Amalco fails to make an Offer to Pay for a Dissenting Shareholder's Shares, or if a Dissenting Shareholder fails to accept an Offer to Pay that has been made, Amalco may, within 50 days after the Effective Date or within such further period as a court may allow, apply to a court to fix a fair value for the Dissenting Shares. If Amalco fails to apply to a court, a Dissenting Shareholder may apply to a court for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or within such further period as a court may allow. A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in such an application. Any such application by Amalco or a Dissenting Shareholder must be made to a court in Alberta or a court having jurisdiction in the place where the Dissenting Shareholder resides if Amalco carries on business in that province.

        Before making any such application to a court itself after receiving a notice that a Dissenting Shareholder has made an application to a court, Amalco will be required to notify each affected Dissenting Shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of a Dissenting Shareholder's right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. Upon an application to a court, all Dissenting Shareholders who have not accepted an Offer to Pay will be joined as parties and be bound by the decision of the court. Upon any such application to a court, the court may determine whether any other person is a Dissenting Shareholder who should be joined as a party, and the court will then fix a fair value for the Dissenting Shares of all Dissenting Shareholders. The final order of a court will be rendered against Amalco in favour of each Dissenting Shareholder for the amount of the fair value of its Dissenting Shares as fixed by the court. The court may, in its discretion, allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each Dissenting Shareholder from the Effective Date until the date of payment.

        Shareholders who are considering exercising Dissent Rights should be aware that there can be no assurance that the fair value of their Shares as determined under the applicable provisions of the CBCA (as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order or any other interim order of the Court) will be more than or equal to the consideration payable under the Arrangement. In addition, any judicial determination of fair value will result in delay of receipt by a Dissenting Shareholder of consideration for such Dissenting Shareholder's Dissenting Shares. Furthermore, Shareholders who are considering Dissent Rights should be aware of the consequences under Canadian and United States federal income tax laws of exercising Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement. See "— Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "— Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations".

        The Arrangement Agreement provides that, unless otherwise waived by Suncor, it is a condition to the completion of the Arrangement for the benefit of Suncor that holders of such number of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares that, in the aggregate, would not constitute greater than 2% of the number of Amalco Shares that would be outstanding following completion of the Arrangement (assuming for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding number of Amalco Shares that there are no holders of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada

78



Shares who have exercised Dissent Rights), shall have validly exercised Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement that have not been withdrawn as of the Effective Date. See "— The Arrangement Agreement — Conditions to the Arrangement" above.

Interests of Certain Persons or Companies in the Arrangement

Share Ownership

        As of April 10, 2009, the directors and executive officers of Suncor and their associates, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of approximately 854,603 Suncor Shares, representing approximately 0.09% of the outstanding Suncor Shares, and an aggregate of 7,874,074 Suncor Options pursuant to the Suncor Stock Option Plans. As of April 10, 2009, the directors and executive officers of Suncor and their associates, as a group, also beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, approximately 1,509 Petro-Canada Shares, representing approximately 0.0003% of the outstanding Petro-Canada Shares. For more information with respect to the holdings of Suncor Shares by the directors and certain executive officers of Suncor and the currently proposed directors and executive officers of Amalco, see Appendix H to this Information Circular and "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Directors and Executive Officers of Amalco Upon Completion of the Arrangement", respectively.

        As of April 10, 2009, the directors and executive officers of Petro-Canada and their associates, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of approximately 397,074 Petro-Canada Shares, representing approximately 0.08% of the Petro-Canada Shares outstanding on April 10, 2009, and an aggregate of 6,833,500 Petro-Canada Options pursuant to the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan. As of April 10, 2009, the directors and executive officers of Petro-Canada and their associates, as a group, also beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, approximately 7,422 Suncor Shares, representing approximately 0.001% of the outstanding Suncor Shares. For more information with respect to the holdings of Petro-Canada Shares by the directors and certain executive officers of Petro-Canada and the currently proposed directors and executive officers of Amalco, see Appendix I to this Information Circular and "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Directors and Executive Officers of Amalco Upon Completion of the Arrangement", respectively.

        Immediately after giving effect to the Arrangement, it is anticipated that the currently proposed directors and executive officers of Amalco and their associates, as a group, would beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, an aggregate of approximately 931,161 Amalco Shares representing approximately 0.06% of the Amalco Shares which are expected to be outstanding upon completion of the Arrangement. See "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Directors and Executive Officers of Amalco Upon Completion of the Arrangement".

        Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options and awards under Suncor and Petro-Canada non-equity based compensation plans will be adjusted based on the Suncor Exchange Ratio and the Petro-Canada Exchange Ratio, as applicable, to reflect the effect of the Arrangement on such awards. See "— Effect of the Arrangement — Effect on Holders of Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options and Awards under Non-Equity Based Compensation Plans and Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan". Following completion of the Arrangement, the directors, officers and other employees of Suncor and Petro-Canada who will continue to hold office with or be employed by Amalco may be granted options to acquire Amalco Shares under the Amalco Stock Option Plan (provided such plan is approved by Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders at the Meetings as described under "Part II — Pro Forma Information of Amalco After Giving Effect to the Arrangement — Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan") or other option and incentive plans adopted by Amalco from time to time.

No Change of Control Payments

        The Arrangement will not result in a "change of control" or any other form of accelerated payment or vesting for the purposes of any other employment or consulting services agreement, or any incentive, bonus or similar plan applicable to Suncor, Petro-Canada or their respective directors, officers and employees, including for the purposes of the Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options or pursuant to the plans or agreements in respect thereof. See "— Effect of the Arrangement — Effect on Holders of Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options and Awards under Non-Equity Based Compensation Plans and Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan".

79


Other Interests

        Three officers of Petro-Canada at the vice-president job level may receive a payment in recognition of such officers' contributions, skills and leadership capabilities and services to be provided to facilitate the transition and integration of Suncor and Petro-Canada, in an aggregate amount of approximately $209,000 payable upon completion of the Arrangement. No members of Petro-Canada's executive leadership team will receive any retention payments. In addition, each of Bryan P. Davies, Brian A. Felesky and M. Ann McCaig, being current directors of Suncor, and Hans Brenninkmeyer, Claude Fontaine, Thomas E. Kierans, Paul D. Melnuk, Guylaine Saucier and Daniel L. Valot, being current directors of Petro-Canada, who are not proposed to be appointed as directors of Amalco, will, following completion of the Arrangement, enter into consulting arrangements with Amalco under which they will agree to provide transitional advisory services for a period of four months following the completion of the Arrangement. As compensation for such services, each such former director of Suncor or Petro-Canada will be entitled to receive $10,000 per month, for an aggregate of $40,000 per director.

        None of the principal holders of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares or any director or officer of Suncor or Petro-Canada, or any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, has or had any material interest in any transaction in the last three years or any proposed transaction that materially affected, or will materially affect, Suncor, Petro-Canada, Amalco or any of their affiliates, except as disclosed above or elsewhere in this Information Circular or in the documents incorporated into this Information Circular by reference.

        Suncor has retained CIBC World Markets as financial advisor to Suncor with respect to the Arrangement and CIBC World Markets has provided the CIBC Fairness Opinion to the Suncor Board. CIBC World Markets has received or will receive fees from Suncor for services rendered. Suncor has also retained Morgan Stanley as financial advisor to Suncor with respect to the Arrangement and Morgan Stanley has provided the Morgan Stanley Fairness Opinion to the Suncor Board. Morgan Stanley has received or will receive fees from Suncor for services rendered. Petro-Canada has retained RBC Dominion Securities as financial advisor to Petro- Canada with respect to the Arrangement and RBC Dominion Securities has provided the RBC Fairness Opinion to the Petro-Canada Board. RBC Dominion Securities has received or will receive fees from Petro-Canada for services rendered. Petro-Canada has also retained Deutsche Bank as financial advisor to Petro-Canada with respect to the Arrangement and Deutsche Bank has provided the Deutsche Bank Fairness Opinion to the Petro-Canada Board. Deutsche Bank has received or will receive fees from Petro-Canada for services rendered.

        Mr. John T. Ferguson, the Chairman of the Suncor Board, is a director of Royal Bank of Canada, which is the parent company of RBC Dominion Securities, a financial advisor to Petro-Canada. Mr. Ferguson abstained with respect to the approval of the Arrangement and related matters on behalf of Suncor.

Expenses of the Arrangement

        The estimated costs to be incurred by Suncor and Petro-Canada with respect to the Arrangement and related matters including, without limitation, financial advisory, proxy solicitation, accounting and legal fees, the costs of preparation, printing and mailing of this Information Circular and other related documents and agreements, and stock exchange and regulatory filing fees, are expected to aggregate approximately $170 million.

Securities Law Matters

Canada

        The Amalco Shares to be issued under the Arrangement to Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders will be issued in reliance on exemptions from prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Canadian Securities Laws and, following completion of the Arrangement, the Amalco Shares will generally be "freely tradeable" (other than as a result of any "control block" restrictions which may arise by virtue of the ownership thereof) under applicable Canadian Securities Laws.

        The Ontario and Quebec securities commissions have adopted Multilateral Instrument 61-101 — Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), which governs transactions that raise the potential for conflicts of interest, including issuer bids, insider bids, related party transactions and business combinations.

80


        The Arrangement does not constitute an issuer bid, an insider bid or a related party transaction for the purposes of MI 61-101. In assessing whether the Arrangement could be considered a "business combination" for the purposes of MI 61-101, Suncor and Petro-Canada each reviewed benefits and payments that related parties of Suncor and Petro-Canada, respectively, are entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the Arrangement to determine whether any constituted a "collateral benefit". For these purposes, the only related parties of either Suncor or Petro-Canada that are entitled to a benefit, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the Arrangement are certain senior officers of Petro-Canada and certain directors of Suncor and Petro-Canada, respectively. Certain officers of Petro-Canada at the vice-president job level may receive payments in recognition of such officers' contributions, skills and leadership capabilities and services to be provided to facilitate the transition and integration of Suncor and Petro-Canada and the current directors of Suncor and Petro-Canada who will not be appointed as directors of Amalco will enter into consulting agreements with Amalco to provide transitional advisory services to Amalco for a period of four months following completion of the Arrangement. See "— Interests of Certain Persons or Companies in the Arrangement" above. Additionally, Suncor Options and Petro-Canada Options will be exchanged for Replacement Options, with the number of Replacement Options and the exercise price therefor determined on the basis of the relative share exchange ratios under the Arrangement. Corresponding adjustments will also be made to awards outstanding under Suncor and Petro-Canada non-equity based compensation plans. See "— Effect of the Arrangement — Effect on Holders of Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options and Awards under Non-Equity Based Compensation Plans and Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan". None of these benefits or payments is a "collateral benefit" for the purposes of MI 61-101 since: (i) the benefit is not conferred for the purpose, in whole or in part, of increasing the value of the consideration paid to the related party for the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as the case may be; (ii) the benefit is not conditional on the related party supporting the Arrangement in any manner, (iii) full particulars of the benefit have been discussed in this Information Circular, and (iv) each of the related parties receiving the benefit exercised control or direction over, or beneficially owned, less than 1% of the outstanding Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, at the date on which the proposed Arrangement was agreed to.

        To the knowledge of Suncor and Petro-Canada, there have been no prior valuations of Suncor or Petro-Canada, the Suncor Shares or the Petro-Canada Shares, or the material assets of Suncor or Petro-Canada in the 24 months prior to the date of this Information Circular.

Judicial Developments

        The Plan of Arrangement will be implemented pursuant to Section 192 of the CBCA, which provides that, where it is not practicable for a corporation to effect a fundamental change in the nature of an arrangement under any other provisions of the CBCA, a corporation may apply to the Court for an order approving the arrangement proposed by such corporation. Pursuant to this section of the CBCA, such an application will be made by Suncor and Petro-Canada for approval of the Arrangement. See "— Court Approvals — Final Order" above. Although there have been a number of judicial decisions considering this section of the CBCA and applications to various arrangements, there have not been, to the knowledge of Suncor or Petro-Canada, any recent significant decisions which would apply in this instance. Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders should consult their legal advisors with respect to the legal rights available to them in relation to the Arrangement.

United States

        The Amalco Shares to be issued under the Arrangement to Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act. Section 3(a)(10) exempts securities issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities from the general requirement of registration where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, after a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom the securities will be issued have the right to appear and receive timely notice thereof. The Court is authorized to conduct a hearing at which the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement will be considered. The Court granted the Interim Order on April 29, 2009 and, subject to the approval of the Arrangement by Suncor

81



Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders, a hearing on the Arrangement will be held on Friday, June 5, 2009 by the Court. See "— Court Approvals — Final Order" above.

        The Amalco Shares to be held by Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders following completion of the Arrangement will be freely tradeable in the U.S. under U.S. federal securities laws, except by persons who will be "affiliates" of Amalco after the Arrangement or who have been affiliates of Suncor or Petro-Canada within 90 days before the Effective Date. Persons who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of an issuer include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, the issuer, and generally include executive officers and directors of the issuer as well as principal shareholders of the issuer. Any resale of such Amalco Shares by such an affiliate may be subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, absent an exemption therefrom.

        The foregoing discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of U.S. Securities Laws applicable to the securities received upon completion of the Arrangement. All holders of such securities are urged to consult with counsel to ensure that the resale of their securities complies with applicable U.S. Securities Laws.

Experts

        Certain Canadian legal matters relating to the Arrangement are to be passed upon by Blakes on behalf of Suncor and Macleod Dixon on behalf of Petro-Canada and certain United States legal matters relating to the Arrangement are to be passed on by Shearman & Sterling LLP on behalf of Suncor and Torys LLP on behalf of Petro-Canada. As at April 29, 2009, the partners and associates of Blakes beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of the outstanding Suncor Shares and less than 1% of the outstanding Petro-Canada Shares. As at April 29, 2009, the partners and associates of Macleod Dixon beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of the outstanding Suncor Shares and less than 1% of the outstanding Petro-Canada Shares.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

General

        In the opinion of Blakes and Macleod Dixon (collectively, "Counsel"), the following is a fair and adequate summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Tax Act in respect of the Arrangement generally applicable to Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders who, for the purposes of the Tax Act, and at all relevant times: (i) hold their Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, as well as any Amalco Shares to be received under the Arrangement, as capital property, and (ii) deal at arm's length, and are not affiliated, with either Suncor, Petro-Canada, Subco 1, Subco 2, Subco 3, Subco 4 or Amalco for the purposes of the Tax Act. Persons who meet all of the foregoing requirements are referred to as "Shareholders" in this summary.

        Suncor Shares, Petro-Canada Shares and Amalco Shares will generally be considered to be capital property to a Shareholder unless they are held in the course of carrying on a business or are acquired in a transaction or transactions which may be considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade. Certain Shareholders who are resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act and whose Suncor Shares, Petro-Canada Shares or Amalco Shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may be entitled to have them, and all other "Canadian securities" (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by them, deemed to be capital property by making an irrevocable election in accordance with subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. Shareholders considering making such an election should first consult their own tax advisors.

        This summary is not applicable to a Shareholder: (a) that is a "financial institution" or a "specified financial institution" (each as defined in the Tax Act); (b) an interest in whom would be a "tax shelter investment" (as defined in the Tax Act); (c) who is exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act; (d) that acquired their Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares on the exercise of employee stock options; (e) who makes or has made a functional currency reporting election pursuant to section 261 of the Tax Act; or (f) who individually, or together with the associates of that Shareholder, would otherwise be entitled to receive a number of Amalco Shares upon

82



the Arrangement in excess of the Individual Share Constraint. Such Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular Canadian federal income tax consequences to them of the Arrangement.

        This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act and Counsel's understanding of the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the CRA publicly available to the date hereof. This summary assumes that all specific publicly announced proposals to amend the Tax Act announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof will be enacted as proposed, although there is no assurance that such proposed amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not take into account or anticipate any other changes in the law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative action or decision, nor does it take into account the tax laws of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, any of which may differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax considerations described herein.

        This summary is of a general nature only and is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. This summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any Shareholder. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular Canadian federal income tax consequences to them of the Arrangement.

Shareholders Resident in Canada

        This part of the summary is applicable to a Shareholder who is resident, or deemed to be resident, in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax convention (a "Resident Shareholder").

General

        Generally, a Resident Shareholder (other than a Dissenting Shareholder or an eligible Resident Shareholder who participates in the Subco 4 Exchange or Subco 2 Exchange, as such terms are defined below) will not realize a capital gain or a capital loss as a result of the disposition of their Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, pursuant to the Arrangement, as discussed in further detail below.

Amalgamation — Conversion of Shares into Amalco Shares

        As part of the Arrangement, Suncor, Petro-Canada, Subco 1, Subco 2, Subco 3 and Subco 4 will amalgamate to form Amalco (the "Amalgamation"). On the Amalgamation, each Suncor Share (other than Suncor Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders) and each Subco 3 Non-Voting Share will be converted into one Amalco Share, and each Petro-Canada Share (other than Petro-Canada Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders) and each Subco 1 Non-Voting Share will be converted into 1.28 Amalco Shares.

        A Resident Shareholder (other than a Dissenting Shareholder) will be deemed to have disposed of their Suncor Shares, Petro-Canada Shares, Subco 1 Non-Voting Shares or Subco 3 Non-Voting Shares, as the case may be, upon the Amalgamation for proceeds of disposition equal to the adjusted cost base thereof and to have acquired the Amalco Shares for the same amount. In such circumstances, the Resident Shareholder will not realize a capital gain or a capital loss as a result of the disposition of Suncor Shares, Petro-Canada Shares, Subco 1 Non-Voting Shares or Subco 3 Non-Voting Shares, as the case may be, upon the Amalgamation.

        Where a Resident Shareholder owns both Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time or, as a result of proration among Electing Suncor Shareholders or Electing Petro-Canada Shareholders, a Resident Shareholder transfers less than all of the Resident Shareholder's Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares to Subco 4 and Subco 2, respectively, the detailed averaging rules contained in the Tax Act will generally apply in determining the adjusted cost base to the Resident Shareholder of each Amalco Share received pursuant to the Arrangement. Such Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the adjusted cost base of the Amalco Shares in their particular circumstances.

Electing Suncor Shareholders

        An Eligible Suncor Shareholder who wishes to realize an accrued capital gain (or an accrued capital loss) on the disposition of their Suncor Shares pursuant to the Arrangement may elect to transfer their Suncor Shares

83



to Subco 4 immediately prior to the Amalgamation in exchange for an equal number of Subco 3 Non-Voting Shares (the "Subco 4 Exchange").

        An Eligible Suncor Shareholder who validly elects to transfer their Suncor Shares to Subco 4 in exchange for Subco 3 Non-Voting Shares will generally realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Suncor Shares so transferred to Subco 4 (being the fair market value of the Subco 3 Non-Voting Shares received upon the Subco 4 Exchange) exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the Suncor Shares so exchanged and any reasonable costs of disposition. Generally, the fair market value of a Subco 3 Non-Voting Share should be equal to the fair market value of the Amalco Share into which the Subco 3 Non-Voting Share is converted. This summary assumes that the "general anti-avoidance rule" contained in the Tax Act ("GAAR") is not applicable to alter the tax consequences of the Subco 4 Exchange. Recent court decisions dealing with GAAR, although not specifically applicable to the Subco 4 Exchange, have raised uncertainty concerning the application of GAAR generally. Eligible Suncor Shareholders who are considering making an election to participate in the Subco 4 Exchange should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential to realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) under the Arrangement. For a discussion of the tax treatment of capital gains and losses see "— Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses" below.

        The aggregate initial cost of the Subco 3 Non-Voting Shares received by an Eligible Suncor Shareholder in exchange for Suncor Shares pursuant to the Subco 4 Exchange will be equal to the fair market value of such Subco 3 Non-Voting Shares at the time of the Subco 4 Exchange. As discussed above under "— Amalgamation — Conversion of Shares into Amalco Shares", such aggregate initial cost will become the cost of the Amalco Shares received in exchange for the Subco 3 Non-Voting Shares upon the Amalgamation.

        Pursuant to the Arrangement, elections by Eligible Suncor Shareholders to transfer Suncor Shares to Subco 4 will not be permitted in respect of more than 15% of the Suncor Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Election Deadline. To the extent that such elections are made by Suncor Electing Shareholders prior to the Election Deadline in excess of this limit, the number of Suncor Shares in respect of which such elections have been made will be prorated among all Suncor Electing Shareholders such that the aggregate number of Suncor Shares in respect of which such elections have been made by Suncor Electing Shareholders will be equal to this limit and the remainder of the Suncor Shares of such Suncor Electing Shareholders shall be converted into Amalco Shares on the Amalgamation and the tax consequences discussed above under "— Amalgamation — Conversion of Shares into Amalco Shares" will generally apply to the conversion of such Suncor Shares. Elections will not be accepted after the Election Deadline. The 15% thresholds were determined by Suncor and Petro-Canada having regard to the Petro-Canada Act and other structural limitations that were considered in connection with the Arrangement.

        Eligible Suncor Shareholders wishing to make such an election should carefully review the discussion under "— Procedure For Exchange of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares and Election by Eligible Shareholders" for important information regarding the election procedure.

Electing Petro-Canada Shareholders

        An Eligible Petro-Canada Shareholder who wishes to realize an accrued capital gain (or an accrued capital loss) on the disposition of their Petro-Canada Shares pursuant to the Arrangement may elect to transfer their Petro-Canada Shares to Subco 2 immediately prior to the Amalgamation in exchange for an equal number of Subco 1 Non-Voting Shares (the "Subco 2 Exchange").

        An Eligible Petro-Canada Shareholder who validly elects to transfer their Petro-Canada Shares to Subco 2 in exchange for Subco 1 Non-Voting Shares will generally realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Petro-Canada Shares so transferred to Subco 2 (being the fair market value of the Subco 1 Non-Voting Shares received upon the Subco 2 Exchange) exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the Petro-Canada Shares so exchanged and any reasonable costs of disposition. Generally, the fair market value of a Subco 1 Non-Voting Share should be equal to the fair market value of the Amalco Shares into which the Subco 1 Non-Voting Share is converted. This summary assumes that GAAR is not applicable to alter the tax consequences of the Subco 2 Exchange. Recent court decisions dealing with GAAR, although not specifically applicable to the Subco 2 Exchange, have raised

84



uncertainty concerning the application of GAAR generally. Eligible Petro-Canada Shareholders who are considering making an election to participate in the Subco 2 Exchange should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential to realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) under the Arrangement. For a discussion of the tax treatment of capital gains and losses see "— Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses" below.

        The aggregate initial cost of the Subco 1 Non-Voting Shares received by a Petro-Canada Electing Shareholder in exchange for Petro-Canada Shares pursuant to the Subco 2 Exchange will be equal to the fair market value of such Subco 1 Non-Voting Shares at the time of the Subco 2 Exchange. As discussed above under "— Amalgamation — Conversion of Shares into Amalco Shares", such aggregate initial cost will become the cost of the Amalco Shares received in exchange for the Subco 1 Non-Voting Shares upon the Amalgamation.

        Pursuant to the Arrangement, elections by Eligible Petro-Canada Shareholders to transfer Petro-Canada Shares to Subco 2 will not be permitted in respect of more than 15% of the Petro-Canada Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Election Deadline. To the extent that such elections are made by Petro-Canada Electing Shareholders prior to the Election Deadline in excess of this limit, the number of Petro-Canada Shares in respect of which such elections have been made will be prorated among all Petro-Canada Electing Shareholders such that the aggregate number of Petro-Canada Shares in respect of which such elections have been made by Petro-Canada Electing Shareholders will be equal to this limit and the remainder of the Petro-Canada Shares of such Petro-Canada Electing Shareholders shall be converted into Amalco Shares on the Amalgamation and the tax consequences discussed above under "— Amalgamation — Conversion of Shares into Amalco Shares" will generally apply to the conversion of such Petro-Canada Shares. Elections will not be accepted after the Election Deadline. The 15% thresholds were determined by Suncor and Petro-Canada having regard to the Petro-Canada Act and other structural limitations that were considered in connection with the Arrangement.

        Eligible Petro-Canada Shareholders wishing to make such an election should carefully review the discussion under "— Procedure For Exchange of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares and Election by Eligible Shareholders" for important information regarding the election procedure.

Holding and Disposing of Amalco Shares

        In general, a disposition or deemed disposition of Amalco Shares by a Resident Shareholder (except to Amalco or in a tax deferred transaction) will generally result in the Resident Shareholder realizing a capital gain (or a capital loss) in the year of disposition to the extent that the fair market value of the consideration received on the disposition exceeds (or is exceeded by) the aggregate adjusted cost base to the Resident Shareholder of such Amalco Shares and any reasonable costs of disposition. See "— Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses" below.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses

        Under the Tax Act, one-half of any capital gain must be included in computing a Resident Shareholder's income as a taxable capital gain in the taxation year in which a disposition of capital property takes place, and one-half of any capital loss must be deducted as an allowable capital loss against taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Shareholder in that taxation year in computing income in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act. Allowable capital losses for a taxation year in excess of taxable capital gains for that year generally may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and in the circumstances provided in the Tax Act.

        The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Shareholder that is a corporation on the disposition of a share may be reduced by the amount of dividends or deemed dividends received on such share (or on a share for which the share has been substituted) to the extent and in the circumstances provided in the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply to a partnership or a trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Resident Shareholders to whom these rules may apply should consult their own tax advisors.

85


        A Resident Shareholder that is, throughout the relevant taxation year, a "Canadian-controlled private corporation", as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable for a refundable tax of 62/3% on investment income, including taxable capital gains.

Receipt of Dividends on Amalco Shares

        A Resident Shareholder will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any dividends received (or deemed to be received) on Amalco Shares, unless in the case of Canadian resident corporations, the application of a specific anti-avoidance rule recharacterizes such dividends as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain.

        In the case of a Resident Shareholder that is an individual (other than certain trusts), such dividends will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit rules for "eligible dividends". Eligible dividends will generally include dividends paid by taxable Canadian corporations, such as Amalco, where those dividends have been designated as "eligible dividends" by the corporation at or prior to the time the dividends are paid. There are limitations on the ability of a corporation to designate dividends as eligible dividends. Counsel has been advised that Amalco intends to designate all dividends paid on the Amalco Shares as eligible dividends for these purposes.

        In the case of a Resident Shareholder that is a corporation, dividends received (or deemed to be received) on Amalco Shares by the Resident Shareholder will generally be included in the Resident Shareholder's gross income for the taxation year in which such dividends are received and will generally be deductible in computing the Resident Shareholder's taxable income. A "private corporation", as defined in the Tax Act, or any other corporation controlled, whether because of a beneficial interest in one or more trusts or otherwise, by or for the benefit of an individual (other than a trust) or a related group of individuals (other than trusts), may be liable to pay a refundable tax of 331/3% under Part IV of the Tax Act on dividends received (or deemed to be received) on Amalco Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing taxable income for the year.

Dissenting Resident Shareholders

        A Resident Shareholder that is a Dissenting Shareholder (a "Dissenting Resident Shareholder") may be entitled, if the Arrangement becomes effective, to receive from Amalco the fair value of the Suncor Shares and/or Petro-Canada Shares held by such Dissenting Resident Shareholder. Based on Counsel's understanding of the current administrative practice of the CRA, a Dissenting Resident Shareholder who, pursuant to the exercise of Dissent Rights, disposes of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares in consideration for a cash payment from Amalco in respect of such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares will be considered to have disposed of such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount of the payment (exclusive of interest) received by the Dissenting Resident Shareholder. Dissenting Resident Shareholders may realize a capital gain or sustain a capital loss in respect of such disposition.

        A Dissenting Resident Shareholder who receives interest on a payment received in respect of the fair value of the Dissenting Resident Shareholder's Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares will be required to include the full amount of such interest in income. In addition, a Dissenting Resident Shareholder that is, throughout the relevant taxation year, a "Canadian-controlled private corporation", as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable for a refundable tax of 62/3% on investment income, including interest income.

        Dissenting Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences of exercising their Dissent Rights.

Non-Resident Shareholders

        The following portion of the summary is applicable to a Shareholder who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax convention, is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada, and who does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold their Suncor Shares, Petro-Canada Shares or Amalco Shares in carrying on a business in Canada (a "Non-Resident Shareholder"). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Shareholder that is an insurer carrying on

86



business in Canada and elsewhere. This summary is not applicable to such Shareholders, who should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to them of the Arrangement.

Amalgamation — Conversion of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares into Amalco Shares

        A Non-Resident Shareholder who participates in the Arrangement will be deemed to have disposed of their Suncor Shares and/or Petro-Canada Shares, as the case may be, upon the Amalgamation and will generally be subject to the same Canadian income tax consequences as a Resident Shareholder who disposes of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares upon the Amalgamation (see "— Shareholders Resident in Canada — Amalgamation — Conversion of Shares into Amalco Shares"). In the case of a Non-Resident Shareholder whose Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as the case may be, constitute "taxable Canadian property" to such Non-Resident Shareholder, any Amalco Shares received by such Non-Resident Shareholder in exchange for such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares upon the Amalgamation will also constitute "taxable Canadian property" to such Non-Resident Shareholder.

        Generally, a Suncor Share or a Petro-Canada Share will not be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Shareholder at a particular time provided that: (i) the Suncor Share or the Petro-Canada Share, as the case may be, is listed on a designated stock exchange (which includes the TSX and NYSE) at that time; (ii) neither the Non-Resident Shareholder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Shareholder does not deal at arm's length, nor the Non-Resident Shareholder together with all such persons has owned 25% or more of the shares of any class or series of Suncor or Petro-Canada, as the case may be, at any time during the 60 month period ending at that time; and (iii) the Suncor Share or the Petro-Canada Share was not acquired in a transaction as a result of which such share was deemed to be taxable Canadian property of the Non-Resident Shareholder.

        A Non-Resident Shareholder who disposes of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares upon the Amalgamation that are taxable Canadian property to such Non-Resident Shareholder will be required to file a Canadian income tax return reporting the disposition unless: (i) the Non-Resident Shareholder is not liable to pay tax under Part I of the Tax Act in respect of the year of disposition; and (ii) the Non-Resident Shareholder is not liable to pay any amount under the Tax Act in respect of any previous taxation year. Non-Resident Shareholders who dispose of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares upon the Amalgamation that are taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the requirement to file a Canadian income tax return in respect of the Arrangement in their particular circumstances.

Holding and Disposing of Amalco Shares

        A Non-Resident Shareholder will generally not be liable for tax under the Tax Act on a disposition or deemed disposition of Amalco Shares unless such Amalco Shares are, or are deemed to be, taxable Canadian property to the Non-Resident Shareholder at the time of disposition and the Non-Resident Shareholder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Shareholder is resident. In the case of an Amalco Share owned by a Non-Resident Shareholder that constitutes taxable Canadian property of the Non-Resident Shareholder, any capital gain (or capital loss) realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of the Amalco Share that is not exempt from tax under the Tax Act pursuant to an applicable income tax convention, will generally be subject to the same Canadian income tax consequences discussed above applicable to a Resident Shareholder who disposes of Amalco Shares under "— Shareholders Resident in Canada — Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".

        Generally, an Amalco Share will not be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Shareholder at a particular time provided that: (i) the Amalco Share is listed on a designated stock exchange (which includes the TSX and NYSE) at that time; (ii) neither the Non-Resident Shareholder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Shareholder does not deal at arm's length, nor the Non-Resident Shareholder together with all such persons has owned 25% or more of the shares of any class or series of Amalco at any time during the 60 month period ending at that time; and (iii) the Amalco Share was not acquired in a transaction as a result of which the Amalco Share was deemed to be taxable Canadian property of the Non-Resident Shareholder. Generally, if the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares disposed of by a Non-Resident Shareholder upon the Amalgamation constituted

87



taxable Canadian property to the Non-Resident Shareholder, the Amalco Shares received by such Non-Resident Shareholder in exchange for such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares upon the Amalgamation will be deemed to constitute "taxable Canadian property" to such Non-Resident Shareholder.

        A Non-Resident Shareholder who disposes of Amalco Shares that are taxable Canadian property to such Non-Resident Shareholder will be required to file a Canadian income tax return for the year in which the disposition arises to report the disposition unless: (i) the Non-Resident Shareholder is not liable to pay tax under Part I of the Tax Act in respect of the year of disposition; and (ii) the Non-Resident Shareholder is not liable to pay any amount under the Tax Act in respect of any previous taxation year. Non-Resident Shareholders who dispose of Amalco Shares that are taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the requirement to file a Canadian income tax return in respect of the disposition in their particular circumstances.

Receipt of Dividends on Amalco Shares

        Where a Non-Resident Shareholder receives or is deemed to receive a dividend on Amalco Shares, the amount of such dividend will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend unless the rate is reduced under the provisions of an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the Non-Resident Shareholder's country of residence. Where the Non-Resident Shareholder is a resident of the United States who is entitled to benefits under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) and is the beneficial owner of the dividends, the rate of Canadian withholding tax applicable to dividends is generally reduced to 15%.

Dissenting Non-Resident Shareholders

        A Non-Resident Shareholder that is a Dissenting Shareholder (a "Dissenting Non-Resident Shareholder") may be entitled, if the Arrangement becomes effective, to receive from Amalco the fair value of the Suncor Shares and/or Petro-Canada Shares held by such Dissenting Non-Resident Shareholder.

        Based on Counsel's understanding of the current administrative practice of the CRA, a Non-Resident Shareholder who, pursuant to the exercise of Dissent Rights, disposes of Suncor Shares and/or Petro-Canada Shares in consideration for a cash payment from Amalco in respect of such Suncor Shares and/or Petro-Canada Shares will be considered to have disposed of such Suncor Shares and/or Petro-Canada Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount of the payment (exclusive of interest) received by the Dissenting Non-Resident Shareholder and will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which such cash payment (exclusive of interest) exceeds (or is exceeded by) the adjusted cost base of such shares to the Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder. A Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder will generally not be liable for tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized on a disposition of such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares unless such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as the case may be, are or are deemed to be taxable Canadian property to such Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder and the Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder is not entitled to relief under an applicable tax convention between Canada and the Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder's country of residence. See the discussion above under "— Non-Resident Shareholders — Amalgamation — Conversion of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares into Amalco Shares" for a general discussion of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares being taxable Canadian property.

        An amount paid in respect of interest awarded by the Court to a Dissenting Non-Resident Shareholder will generally not be subject to Canadian withholding tax.

        Dissenting Non-Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences of exercising their Dissent Rights.

Eligibility for Investment

        Provided the Amalco Shares are listed on the TSX or other designated stock exchange (including the NYSE) or that Amalco continues to qualify as a "public corporation" for the purposes of the Tax Act, the Amalco Shares will, subject to the terms of any particular plan, be qualified investments under the Tax Act for trusts governed by registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, deferred profit sharing plans, registered education savings plans, registered disability savings plans and tax-free savings accounts.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

        UNITED STATES IRS CIRCULAR 230: To ensure compliance with IRS Circular 230, you are hereby notified that: (i) any discussion of U.S. federal tax issues in this Information Circular (including any attachments) is not intended or written to be relied upon, and cannot be relied upon by you, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on you under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (ii) such discussion is written in connection with the promotion or marketing of the transactions or matters addressed herein; and (iii) you should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

            *    *    *    

        The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to (a) the Arrangement and (b) the ownership and disposition of Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. This summary is not applicable to persons holding options or other rights to acquire Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, and any U.S. Holder that holds such options or other rights should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Amalco Shares, having regard to such holder's particular circumstances.

        This summary is not intended to constitute a complete description of all the potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the Arrangement or the ownership and disposition of Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to such holder. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. Each U.S. Holder should consult its independent tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of the Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement.

        No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has been requested, or is expected to be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, or contrary to, the positions described in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions described in this summary.

Scope of this Disclosure

Authorities

        This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), final and temporary Treasury Regulations, published IRS rulings, judicial decisions, published administrative positions of the IRS, and the Convention between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the "Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty"), in each case, as in effect and available as of the date of this Information Circular, as well as proposed Treasury Regulations. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis. Except as explicitly set forth below, this summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation.

U.S. Holders

        For purposes of this summary, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares or, following the completion of the Arrangement, a beneficial owner of Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (b) a corporation, or other entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state in the United States or the District of Columbia, (c) an estate if the income of such estate is subject to U.S. federal income tax

89



regardless of the source of such income, or (d) a trust if (i) such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust.

Non-U.S. Holders

        For purposes of this summary, a "non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares (or, following the completion of the Arrangement, a beneficial owner of Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement) other than a U.S. Holder or any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. Holders arising from and relating to the Arrangement nor relating to the ownership and disposition of Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. Accordingly, non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local and foreign tax consequences (including the potential application of and operation of any tax treaties) arising from the matters described above.

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

        This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including the following U.S. Holders: (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are dealers in securities or currencies or U.S. Holders that are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code; (f) U.S. Holders that own the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares (or, following the completion of the Arrangement, Amalco Shares) as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (g) U.S. Holders that acquired the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (h) U.S. expatriates; and (i) persons that own, or have owned, directly, indirectly or constructively, 5% or more, by voting power or value, of the outstanding equity interests of Suncor or Petro-Canada (or, following the completion of the Arrangement, persons that will own, directly, indirectly or constructively, 5% or more, by voting power or value, of the outstanding equity interests in Amalco). In addition, this summary does not address (i) U.S. Holders that hold the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares (or, following the completion of the Arrangement, Amalco Shares) other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, or (ii) Suncor, Petro-Canada, or Amalco. Further, this summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to a U.S. Holder if, as a result of the Arrangement, such U.S. Holder would receive a number of Amalco Shares that would result in a contravention of the Individual Share Constraint. U.S. Holders that are described in this paragraph should consult their own independent tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences arising from and relating to the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement.

        If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares (or, following the completion of the Arrangement, Amalco Shares), the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership and the partners of such partnership generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners. Owners of entities that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax and investment advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement.

        In addition, this summary does not address the U.S. gift, inheritance, estate, state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the Arrangement or of the ownership and disposition of Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement.

90


Assumptions

        This summary is based on certain understandings and assumptions with respect to the business, assets and shareholders of Suncor or Petro-Canada, including that (a) the fair market value of the assets of Suncor or Petro-Canada, respectively, exceeds the amount of the liabilities of Suncor or Petro-Canada, respectively, immediately prior to the Arrangement, (b) the fair market value of the assets of Amalco exceeds the amount of its liabilities immediately after the Arrangement, and (c) the Arrangement will be completed according to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, with the Consideration contemplated in the Plan of Arrangement.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Arrangement

Exchange of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares Pursuant to the Arrangement

        Suncor, Petro-Canada and Amalco intend for the Arrangement to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a "Reorganization"). No ruling from the IRS concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement has been obtained and none is expected to be requested. Thus, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the treatment of the Arrangement as a Reorganization or that, if challenged, a U.S. court would not agree with the IRS. If a U.S. Holder participates in the transaction and makes the election to recognize accrued gain or loss for Canadian tax purposes on the disposition of such U.S. Holder's Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, such transaction should be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes and such U.S. Holder should not be treated as recognizing a gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result thereof.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders if the Arrangement Qualifies as a Reorganization

        Assuming the Arrangement qualifies as a Reorganization, then, subject to (i) the assumptions and qualifications described in this summary, and (ii) the possible application of the PFIC rules discussed below (see "— Status of Suncor or Petro-Canada as a PFIC" below), the Arrangement will result in the following U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares:

    a U.S. Holder of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of its Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares for Amalco Shares;

    the tax basis of Amalco Shares received will equal the tax basis of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares surrendered by such U.S. Holder; and

    the holding period of Amalco Shares received will include the holding period of the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares surrendered by such U.S. Holder.

Tax Consequences if the Arrangement Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization

        Subject to the possible application of the PFIC rules (see "— Status of Suncor or Petro-Canada as a PFIC" below), if the Arrangement failed to qualify as a Reorganization, the Arrangement would constitute a taxable disposition of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares by U.S. Holders and would result in the following U.S. federal income tax consequences:

    a U.S. Holder of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the fair market value of Amalco Shares and other property, if any, received pursuant to the Arrangement, and (b) the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares surrendered pursuant to the Arrangement;

    the aggregate tax basis of Amalco Shares received by a U.S. Holder pursuant to the Arrangement would be equal to the aggregate fair market value of Amalco Shares received on the Effective Date of the Arrangement; and

    the holding period in the Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement would begin on the day after the Effective Date of the Arrangement.

91


        Subject to the possible application of the PFIC rules, any gain or loss recognized under the first bullet above generally would be capital gain or loss and would be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period for the Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares is more than one year at the Effective Date of the Arrangement. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are currently applicable to non-corporate U.S. Holders. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code. Any such gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes generally will be treated as gain or loss from sources within the U.S. for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Dissenting U.S. Holders

        A U.S. Holder who exercises the Dissent Rights from the Arrangement will recognize gain or loss on the exchange of such holder's Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares for cash in an amount equal to the difference between (a) the U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt of the Canadian currency (other than amounts, if any, which are or are deemed to be interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which amounts will be taxed as ordinary income) and (b) such holder's adjusted tax basis in its Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares. Subject to the possible application of the PFIC rules discussed below, and except as described in the preceding sentence, such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period for such shares is more than one year. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are currently applicable to non-corporate U.S. Holders. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code. Any such gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes generally will be treated as gain or loss from sources within the U.S. for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Status of Suncor or Petro-Canada as a PFIC

        Neither Suncor nor Petro-Canada, respectively, believes that it will be classified as a PFIC during its current taxable year. In addition, neither Suncor nor Petro-Canada, respectively, believes that it was a PFIC for any preceding taxable year. The determination of PFIC status, however, is fundamentally factual in nature, depends on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules which are subject to differing interpretations, and generally cannot be determined until the close of the taxable year in question. Neither Suncor nor Petro-Canada, respectively, has made a full and complete determination regarding its PFIC status for any taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Suncor or Petro-Canada is not and has not been classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder has held Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares.

        If Suncor or Petro-Canada were classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder of disposing of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, pursuant to the Arrangement might be materially more adverse than those described above. In such case, under the PFIC rules:

    the disposition of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares (including, subject to the rules described below, a disposition pursuant to the Arrangement) might be treated as a taxable exchange in which gain, if any, would be recognized even if such transaction qualifies as a Reorganization (but a U.S. Holder generally would not be permitted to recognize any loss with respect to such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares exchanged if such loss would not otherwise be recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes);

    any gain on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares (including, subject to the rules described below, a disposition pursuant to the Arrangement) and any "excess distribution" (generally defined as any distribution on shares received in a taxable year by a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by that holder in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the holder's holding period for such shares) would be allocated ratably over such U.S. Holder's holding period for such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares;

    the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any year prior to the first year in which Suncor or Petro-Canada, respectively, was classified as a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income in the current year;

    the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year; and

92


    an interest charge for a deemed deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each of the other taxable years described in the bullet point immediately above, which interest charge is not deductible by non-corporate U.S. Holders.

        A U.S. Holder that has made a timely and effective "mark-to-market" election or certain other elections under the PFIC rules with respect to Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares generally would not be subject to the PFIC rules described above for a taxable year for which such election applies. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules as well as the impact of any mark-to-market, or other election, having regard to such holder's particular circumstances.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) the Arrangement qualifies as a Reorganization, (b) Suncor or Petro-Canada was classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, respectively, and (c) Amalco also qualifies as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the day after the Effective Date of the Arrangement, then under proposed Treasury Regulations the nonrecognition treatment described above (see "— Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders if the Arrangement Qualifies as a Reorganization") may apply to such U.S. Holder's exchange of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares for Amalco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. However, as discussed below, it is currently expected that Amalco will not be a PFIC for its 2009 taxable year. See the discussion below at "— Status of Amalco as a PFIC".

        The PFIC rules are extremely complex and may have a significant adverse effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to a U.S. Holder. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult an independent tax advisor regarding the possible classification of Suncor or Petro-Canada as a PFIC, the potential effect of the PFIC rules to such holder, as well as the availability and effect of any election that may be available under the PFIC rules, in each case, having regard to such holder's particular circumstances.

Ownership of Amalco Shares

        The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder arising from and relating to the ownership and disposition of Amalco Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. This summary assumes that Amalco will not be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See the discussion below at "— Status of Amalco as a PFIC".

Distributions on Amalco Shares

        The gross amount of any distribution of cash or property (other than in liquidation) made to a U.S. Holder with respect to Amalco Shares (without reduction for any Canadian withholding tax withheld from such distribution) generally will be includible in income by a U.S. Holder as dividend income to the extent such distribution is paid out of the current or accumulated earnings and profits of Amalco as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to a U.S. corporation on dividends received from a domestic corporation. A distribution in excess of Amalco's current and accumulated earnings and profits will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its Amalco Shares (which, under proposed regulations, generally may be required to be determined on a share for share basis) and will be applied against and reduce such basis on a dollar-for-dollar basis (thereby increasing the amount of gain or decreasing the amount of loss recognized on a subsequent disposition of Amalco Shares). Thereafter, to the extent that such distribution exceeds the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Amalco Shares, the distribution will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such Amalco Shares (see "— Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Amalco Shares" below). Amalco does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should expect that distributions received on Amalco Shares generally will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

        Taxable dividends with respect to Amalco Shares that are paid in Canadian dollars will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder, in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate prevailing on the date of actual or constructive receipt of such Canadian dollars, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the Canadian dollars received are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the Canadian dollars equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who receives payment in Canadian dollars and engages in a

93



subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Canadian dollars may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally would be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Canadian dollars.

        For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, a dividend paid by Amalco generally will be taxed at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains if, among other requirements, (a) Amalco is a "qualified foreign corporation" (a "QFC") as defined below, (b) the U.S. Holder receiving such dividend is an individual, estate, or trust, and (c) such dividend is paid on Amalco Shares that have been held by such U.S. Holder for at least 61 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date (i.e., the first date that a purchaser of such shares will not be entitled to receive such dividend). Amalco generally will be a QFC if (a) Amalco is eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty, or (b) the Amalco Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S., within the meaning provided in the Code. However, even if Amalco satisfies one or more of such requirements, Amalco will not be treated as a QFC if Amalco is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year during which Amalco pays the applicable dividend or for the preceding taxable year. For a discussion of Amalco's potential status as a PFIC see "— Status of Amalco as a PFIC" below. It is currently expected that dividends paid with respect to the Amalco Shares will constitute qualified dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes; however, this is a factual matter and is therefore subject to change. If Amalco is not a QFC, a dividend paid by it to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates (and not at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains). The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of such rules to them in their particular circumstances.

Foreign Tax Credits

        Any tax withheld under Canadian law with respect to distributions on Amalco Shares at a rate not exceeding the rate provided in the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty may, subject to a number of complex limitations, be claimed as a foreign tax credit against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability or may be claimed as a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed with respect to Amalco Shares will be foreign source income and generally will constitute "passive category income" or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, "general category income". Because of the complexity of the foreign tax credit limitations, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the amount of foreign taxes that may be claimed as a credit.

Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Amalco Shares

        A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Amalco Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the U.S. dollar value of the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (b) such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Amalco Shares sold or otherwise disposed of, as determined in U.S. dollars. Any such gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if such U.S. Holder's holding period for the Amalco Shares exceeds one year on the date of disposition. Preferential tax rates currently apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

        Subject to the rule described in the next sentence, the amount realized on a sale or other disposition of Amalco Shares for an amount in foreign currency will be the U.S. dollar value of this amount on the date of sale or disposition; in such case, on the settlement date, the U.S. Holder would recognize U.S. source foreign currency gain or loss (taxable as ordinary income or loss) equal to the difference (if any) between the U.S. dollar value of the amount received based on the exchange rates in effect on the date of sale or other disposition and the settlement date. However, in the case of Amalco Shares traded on an established securities market that are sold by a cash basis U.S. Holder (or an accrual basis U.S. Holder that so elects), the amount realized will be based on the exchange rate in effect on the settlement date for the sale, and no exchange gain or loss will be recognized at that time. Foreign currency received on the sale or other disposition of an Amalco Share will have

94



a tax basis equal to its U.S. dollar value on the settlement date. Any gain or loss recognized on a sale or other disposition of foreign currency (including its use to purchase Amalco Shares or upon exchange for U.S. dollars) will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

Status of Amalco as a PFIC

        It is currently expected that Amalco will not be classified as a PFIC for its 2009 taxable year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether a company is a PFIC is a factual determination that must be made annually at the end of the taxable year and is therefore subject to change.

        If Amalco were classified as a PFIC during any portion of a U.S. Holder's holding period for Amalco Shares as determined for U.S. tax purposes such holder would be subject to adverse U.S. tax consequences under the PFIC rules. In such case, any excess distribution (generally a distribution in excess of 125% of the average distribution over a three-year period or shorter holding period for Amalco's Shares) and realized gain on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Amalco Shares would be treated as ordinary income and generally would be subject to tax as if (a) the excess distribution or gain had been realized ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period, (b) the amount deemed realized in each year had been subject to tax in each such year at the highest marginal rate for such year (other than income allocated to the current period or any taxable period before Amalco became a PFIC, which would generally be subject to tax at the U.S. Holder's regular ordinary income rate for the current year and would not be subject to the interest charge discussed in (c) below), and (c) the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax had been imposed on the taxes deemed to have been payable in those years. Certain elections may be available (including a mark-to-market election) to holders that may help mitigate the adverse consequences resulting from PFIC status. Dividends paid by Amalco would not be "qualified dividend income" to noncorporate U.S. Holders and would be subject to the higher rates applicable to other items of ordinary income. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences that would arise if Amalco were treated as a PFIC.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        U.S. Holders may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding with respect to amounts received by such holder pursuant to the Arrangement, distributions paid on Amalco Shares and proceeds from the disposition of Amalco Shares. In general, a U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding if such holder receives a reportable payment and (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder's correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding, or (d) fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding. However, certain exempt persons, such as corporations, generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will generally be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

(2)
Natural gas is converted to barrels of oil equivalent (boe) using six (6) Mcf of natural gas to one (1) boe. See "Joint Information Circular and Proxy Statement — Barrel of Oil Equivalency".

(3)
As noted above, Suncor reports its reserves in accordance with NI 51-101 and Petro-Canada uses SEC and FASB standards as well as SEC Industry Guide 7 when preparing and reporting reserves. See "Joint Information Circular and Proxy Statement — Petro-Canada Oil and Gas Disclosure" and "Joint Information Circular and Proxy Statement — Disclosure of Combined Reserves and Resources". Such reserves information may differ and such differences may be material. These differences relate to the SEC requirement, employed by Petro-Canada, for disclosure only of proved reserves calculated at constant year-end prices and costs, while NI 51-101 requires disclosure, employed by Suncor, at forecast prices and costs. Also, the definition of proved reserves differs between SEC and NI 51-101 requirements.

(4)
Petro-Canada's in-situ bitumen reserves and resources have been converted to synthetic crude oil volumes (SCO) using the conversion of 1.0 bbls of bitumen = 0.8 bbls of SCO.

        After giving effect to the Arrangement and based on the assumptions set forth above, the number of Amalco Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or over which control or direction will be exercised, by the proposed directors and executive officers of Amalco and their associates, will be an aggregate of approximately 931,161 Amalco Shares (approximately 0.06% of the estimated issued and outstanding Amalco Shares following completion of the Arrangement).

Note:

Following completion of the Arrangement, the authorized capital of Amalco will consist of an unlimited number of Amalco Shares, an unlimited number of senior preferred shares and an unlimited number of junior preferred shares. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Details of the Arrangement — Share Capital of Amalco". The pro forma shareholders' equity of Amalco was prepared based on the number of outstanding Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares as at March 31, 2009. See note 6 to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of Amalco included in Appendix F of this Information Circular.

Principal Holders of Amalco Shares

        After giving effect to the Arrangement, to the knowledge of the directors and officers of Suncor and Petro-Canada, no person will own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over Amalco Shares carrying more than 10% of the votes attached to all of the issued and outstanding Amalco Shares.

Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan

        As part of a comprehensive review of the employee compensation plans to be implemented for Amalco following the Arrangement, the Suncor Board and the Petro-Canada Board have approved the adoption of the Amalco Stock Option Plan following completion of the Arrangement, subject to receipt of applicable stock exchange, Suncor Shareholder and Petro-Canada Shareholder approvals. Provided the necessary approvals are received, it is intended that the Board of Directors of Amalco would adopt the Amalco Stock Option Plan as soon as practicable after the Effective Time. The adoption of the Amalco Stock Option Plan is intended to harmonize and simplify the future grants and administration of options to purchase Amalco Shares. The adoption of the Amalco Stock Option Plan will not increase the number of Amalco Shares reserved for issuance on the exercise of options of Amalco beyond that already authorized for issuance under the Suncor Stock Option Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan. As described in more detail below, if Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders approve the Amalco Stock Option Plan, no further grants of

100



options to purchase Amalco Shares will be made pursuant to the Suncor Stock Option Plans or the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan following completion of the Arrangement. If the Amalco Stock Option Plan is not approved by Suncor Shareholders and Petro-Canada Shareholders, the Board of Directors of Amalco will remain entitled, on the Effective Date, to issue the same number of options to purchase Amalco Shares under the Suncor Stock Option Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan as they would have had if the Amalco Stock Option Plan had received approval.

        The purpose of the Amalco Stock Option Plan is to align the interest of the directors, officers and employees of, and certain other persons providing services on an ongoing basis to Amalco and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Optionees") with the growth, profitability and future success of Amalco by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in Amalco. It is intended that Amalco Stock Option Plan awards will vary according to the position and salary level of the participant.

        The Suncor Board and the Petro-Canada Board intend to resolve to amend the Suncor Stock Option Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan, respectively, as permitted by the amendment provisions of such plans, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, to limit the number of Amalco Shares reserved for issuance under these plans to the number of Amalco Shares that will be reserved for options issued and outstanding under such plans at the Effective Date. In addition, pursuant to such amendments and the provisions of the Amalco Stock Option Plan, any Amalco Shares that would become available for issuance after the completion of the Arrangement under the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan as a result of the expiry, termination or cancellation of any Re-allocated Petro-Canada Options (as defined below) will not be available for issuance pursuant to grants of options under the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan, but will instead be available for issuance pursuant to future grants of options pursuant to the terms of the Amalco Stock Option Plan.

        However, the foregoing is contingent on the Suncor Shareholders and the Petro-Canada Shareholders approving the Amalco Stock Option Plan at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting and the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, respectively, and on the Arrangement being completed. If such Shareholder approvals are not obtained, the number of Amalco Shares reserved for issuance under the Suncor Stock Option Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan will not be limited as described above, and options to purchase Amalco Shares may be granted by Amalco under the Suncor Stock Option Plans or the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Amalco, pursuant to the terms and conditions of such plans. In such circumstances, in addition to the Suncor Options and Petro-Canada Options outstanding at the Effective Time, the number of Amalco Shares unallocated but reserved for issuance under the Suncor Stock Option Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan following completion of the Arrangement would be the aggregate number of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares available under such plans at the Effective Time, as adjusted to take into account the effect of the Arrangement. Based on the number of Suncor Options and Petro-Canada Options outstanding on April 27, 2009 this is estimated to be approximately 15,416,902 Amalco Shares. In addition, if the Amalco Stock Option Plan is not approved by the Suncor Shareholders and the Petro-Canada Shareholders at the Meetings, Suncor and Petro-Canada will consider alternative means to provide comparable compensation to the directors, officers and employees of Amalco in the form of cash or by other appropriate arrangements following completion of the Arrangement.

        Based on the number of outstanding Suncor Options and Petro-Canada Options as of April 27, 2009 and assuming that no currently outstanding Suncor Options or Petro-Canada Options are exercised or cancelled and no further Suncor Options or Petro-Canada Options are granted prior to the Effective Time, Suncor and Petro-Canada expect that there will be approximately 77,730,418 Amalco Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Suncor Options and Petro-Canada Options under the Suncor Stock Option Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan, respectively, following completion of the Arrangement and after adjustments have been made to such options to take into account the effect of the Arrangement. See "Part I — The Arrangement — Effect of the Arrangement — Effect on Holders of Suncor Options, Petro-Canada Options and Awards under Non-Equity Based Compensation Plans and Adoption of Amalco Stock Option Plan".

        The Amalco Stock Option Plan provides for the reservation of 46,490,680 Amalco Shares which could be issued pursuant to the exercise of options which are granted under, or otherwise subject to, the Amalco Stock Option Plan. This reservation consists of the aggregate of (i) 31,073,778 Amalco Shares which would otherwise be reserved for issuance under the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan pursuant to the exercise of Petro-Canada

101



Options outstanding as at April 27, 2009 (the "Re-allocated Petro-Canada Options"), and (ii) the re-allocation to the Amalco Stock Option Plan of the 15,416,902 Amalco Shares that would otherwise be unallocated and reserved and available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options under the Suncor Stock Option Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan following completion of the Arrangement, based on the number of Suncor Options and Petro-Canada Options outstanding as at April 27, 2009.

        For administrative convenience, the Re-allocated Petro-Canada Options will be administered under the Amalco Stock Option Plan, however they will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan until such time as they are exercised, terminated or they expire or are cancelled pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan. Under the Amalco Stock Option Plan, if any Re-allocated Petro-Canada Options, or any other options to purchase Amalco Shares which are granted under the Amalco Stock Option Plan, expire, terminate or are cancelled in a manner that does not result in the issuance of Amalco Shares (or Petro-Canada Shares in respect of Re-allocated Petro-Canada Options which expire, terminate or are cancelled prior to the Effective Time), such underlying Amalco Shares will be available for issuance pursuant to future grants of options by Amalco. Generally, an option to purchase an Amalco Share or a Re-allocated Petro-Canada Option will expire, terminate or be cancelled in such a manner if such option expires or is cancelled in accordance with its terms or if the holder of the option exercises a cash-based tandem stock appreciation right associated with that option. Any future grants of options to purchase Amalco Shares under the Amalco Stock Option Plan as a result of the expiration or cancellation of Re-allocated Petro-Canada Options will not increase the maximum number of options to purchase Amalco Shares which could have been outstanding at any given time under the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan (had such plan remained in effect unamended), because, if the Re-allocated Petro-Canada Options were not re-allocated in this manner, future grants of options to purchase Amalco Shares could be made pursuant to the terms of the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan. As a result, if the Amalco Stock Option Plan is approved as required, there would be an aggregate of approximately 93,147,320 Amalco Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Amalco Stock Option Plan and the Suncor Stock Option Plans, based on the number of Suncor Options and Petro-Canada outstanding as at April 27, 2009, representing approximately 6.0% of the estimated 1,557,453,616 Amalco Shares which would be outstanding following completion of the Arrangement. If the Amalco Stock Option Plan is not approved as required, the same number of Amalco Shares would be reserved for issuance pursuant to Suncor Stock Option Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan.

        The effective date of the Amalco Stock Option Plan will be, subject to the approval of the Suncor Shareholders and the Petro-Canada Shareholders, the Effective Date of the Arrangement. Options issued under the Amalco Stock Option Plan will have a seven year term.

        The Amalco Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase Amalco Shares, as well as the grant of share appreciation rights either with options ("Tandem SARs") or standing alone ("SARs") and limited appreciation rights ("LARs").

        Options entitle the holder to purchase Amalco Shares at a price not less than the Market Value (as defined below) of the Amalco Shares on the date of grant. Where SARs are granted on a stand alone basis, each SAR entitles the holder to receive, upon exercise, payment equal to the difference between the Market Value of an Amalco Share on exercise and the Market Value of an Amalco Share on the date of grant. A Tandem SAR entitles the holder to receive, upon exercise, a payment equal to the difference between the Market Value of an Amalco Share on exercise and the exercise price of the related option. The "Market Value" under the Amalco Stock Option Plan is the simple average of the high and low prices at which shares were traded in one or more board lots on the TSX on the day prior to the grant date.

        LARs will attach to the options and SARs issued to certain participants pursuant to the Amalco Stock Option Plan. LARs provide the holders an opportunity to realize the value, if any, of their options and SARs issued under the Amalco Stock Option Plan upon occurrence of a change of control transaction affecting Amalco. In that circumstance, holders of options and SARs may be unable to exercise their options or SARs prior to completion of a change of control transaction due to securities regulatory requirements or internal Amalco policies. The cash payment for all LARs holders, other than U.S. taxpayers, is equal to the amount, if any, by which:

102


(a)
the greater of,

(i)
the highest price per Amalco Share paid by a person acquiring Amalco Shares in the change of control transaction, and

(ii)
the highest daily trading price of the Amalco Shares on the TSX during the 60-day period preceding the date of the change of control transaction (daily trading price for this purpose means the average of the high and low board lot trading prices of the Amalco Shares on any particular day),

(b)
exceeds the exercise price of the option to which the LAR is related.

For persons who are U.S. taxpayers, the cash payment is equal to the amount, if any, by which the average of the daily trading price of the Amalco Shares on the TSX during the thirty (30) day period preceding the date of exercise of the LAR, exceeds the exercise price of the related option.

        LARs will be generally issued annually at Amalco's discretion, have an 18-month term (unless a replacement LAR is issued, in which case the LAR continues in effect under the terms of the replacement LAR), and attach to all options and SARs held by the holder during the term of the LAR. Upon the exercise or expiry of any Amalco option or SAR, the attached LAR is cancelled. In addition, the exercise of a LAR must be accompanied by the surrender of the related option or SAR which will thereupon be cancelled.

        Generally, LARs terminate and are of no further effect upon termination of employment, retirement, death or entitlement to long-term disability benefits. However, the Amalco Board of Directors will have the discretion to permit the exercise of LARs in the manner and on such terms as it may authorize.

        It is currently contemplated that awards under the Amalco Stock Option Plan will be administered by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Amalco (the "HR&CC"). The HR&CC will consider, among other things, the number of Amalco Shares available for grant and prior years' grants when approving grants and setting the option grant guidelines under the Amalco Stock Option Plan. While vesting of awards under the Amalco Stock Option Plan will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Amalco, it is currently anticipated that the options to be granted under the Amalco Stock Option Plan will vest one third per year over three years, with annual grants approved at the beginning of each year and vesting on January 1 of each of the three years following the grant, and with all other grants vesting on each of the first three anniversary dates following the grant. All options will expire seven years from the date of grant.

        The Amalco Stock Option Plan will also provide for awards, as the Board of Directors of Amalco may consider appropriate, of Amalco Shares as bonus shares and other share based awards not inconsistent with the terms of the Amalco Stock Option Plan. Any such awards would generally be made in recognition for past services and, subject to the provisions of the Amalco Stock Option Plan, shall be fully paid for in cash or past services by the recipient at the time of the grant. The aggregate number of Amalco Shares to be issued solely for non-cash consideration pursuant to these provisions of the Amalco Stock Option Plan shall not exceed 1,500,000.

        Pursuant to terms of the Amalco Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors of Amalco may amend, suspend or terminate the Amalco Stock Option Plan, from time to time, if and when it is advisable at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Amalco without shareholder approval except that the following amendments require shareholder approval: (a) an increase in the number of securities reserved under the Amalco Stock Option Plan; (b) a reduction in an exercise price of an option, or cancellation and reissue of options which benefits any option holder (other than as permitted by the TSX); (c) an amendment that extends the term of an award beyond its original expiry date; (d) allowing awards granted under the Amalco Stock Option Plan to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and (e) in the case of any amendment that increases the maximum number of options available for annual grants to non-employee directors.

        In addition, the Amalco Stock Option Plan will contain the following terms:

    The aggregate number of Amalco Shares which may be reserved for issuance under the Amalco Stock Option Plan, and all other security based compensation arrangements of Amalco, to any one person must not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Amalco Shares (on a non-diluted basis).

103


    Awards granted under the Amalco Stock Option Plan shall be non-transferable (other than the transfer of the right to exercise certain awards to a participant's heirs and legal personal representative on death).

    Options granted under the Amalco Stock Option Plan, but not yet exercisable, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Amalco become exercisable in the event of a change of control of Amalco (as such term is used in the Amalco Stock Option Plan).

    Adjustments may 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 Amalco Shares.

    If the exercise term of an option granted under the Amalco Stock Option Plan expires during, or within three days after the expiry of, a temporary trading ban announced pursuant to Amalco's trading policies, the exercise term of such option shall be extended to 10 days after the expiry of such trading ban, if the holder of the option was subject to the trading ban.

    The aggregate number of Amalco Shares which may be reserved for issuance under the Amalco Stock Option Plan, and all other security based compensation arrangements of Amalco, must not, within any one year period be issued, or at any time under such arrangements be issuable, to insiders of Amalco in an amount exceeding 10% of Amalco's total issued and outstanding securities.

    In the event of a participant's involuntary termination or resignation of employment, unvested options expire immediately and vested options expire no later than three months from such termination.

    Unvested options vest and all vested options expire one year after termination of employment due to death.

    Unvested options vest and all vested options expire no later than three years after termination of a participant's employment due to retirement.

    Each non-employee director of Amalco who is a director on July 1 of each year shall be granted options to purchase up to 8,000 Amalco Shares and each non-employee director who is appointed or elected to the Amalco Board for the first time shall be granted options in the same amount as the most recent annual grant upon such appointment. Directors of Amalco are also issued LARs in connection with annual grants of options. In addition, each director of Amalco may receive Amalco Shares on account of a specified percentage, to be determined by the Amalco Board, of the amount of the director's annual retainer. Of the total number of Amalco Shares reserved for issuance, not more than 500,000 Amalco Shares may be issued or reserved for issuance in respect of awards made under these provisions of the Amalco Stock Option Plan.

    In the event that a non-employee director of Amalco ceases to be a director of Amalco for any reason, then all options held by such director shall continue to be exercisable until the earlier of: (i) 36 months from the date on which the director ceased to be a director; and (ii) the expiration of the exercise term of the particular option. All LARs held by a non-employee director shall terminate and be of no further effect immediately upon such director ceasing to be a director of Amalco.

        The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Amalco Stock Option Plan is qualified in its entirety by the text of such plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix K to this Information Circular.

        At the Meetings, the Suncor Shareholders and the Petro-Canada Shareholders will each be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve the following ordinary resolution to approve the adoption of the Amalco Stock Option Plan (adjusted for each of the Suncor Shareholders and the Petro-Canada Shareholders, as appropriate):

    "BE IT RESOLVED as an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of [Suncor Energy Inc./
    Petro-Canada] that the Stock Option Plan of the corporation to be formed upon the amalgamation of Suncor Energy Inc. and Petro-Canada, such plan being substantially in the form as set out in Appendix K of the Joint Information Circular and Proxy Statement of Suncor Energy Inc. and Petro-Canada dated April 29, 2009, be and the same is hereby approved and authorized."

        In order for the foregoing resolution to be passed, it must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by Suncor Shareholders who vote in person or by proxy at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting and by a majority of the votes cast by Petro-Canada Shareholders who vote in person or by proxy at the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting. The persons named in the enclosed forms of proxy, if named as proxy, intend to vote FOR the approval of the Amalco Stock Option Plan.

PART III — ADDITIONAL MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT SUNCOR
SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

        Recognizing in part that the closing of the Arrangement is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2009, it was determined that the annual business to be considered by shareholders of a CBCA public company should be placed before the Suncor Shareholders at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting. Accordingly, set out below are summary details relating to the election of directors and the re-appointment of Suncor's auditors. More detailed information in respect of these matters, as well as the related disclosure to be included in a management proxy circular for an annual general meeting of shareholders, is included in Appendix H to this Information Circular.

        The Suncor Board has adopted a policy which requires that any nominee for a director who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" than votes "for" his or her election as a director shall submit his or her resignation to the Governance Committee of the Suncor Board for consideration promptly following the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting. See the section entitled "Annual General Meeting Business — Majority Voting for Directors" in Appendix H to this Information Circular.

Dividend History

        The Suncor Board has established a policy of paying dividends on a quarterly basis.

        The information concerning Petro-Canada contained in this Information Circular has been provided by Petro-Canada. Although Suncor has no knowledge that would indicate that any of such information is untrue or incomplete, Suncor does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information or the failure by Petro-Canada to disclose events which may have occurred or may affect the completeness or accuracy of such information but which are unknown to Suncor.

General

The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising, vesting schedule, and all other terms and conditions of such Replacement Option shall be the same as the Petro-Canada Option for which it was exchanged, as adjusted to take into account the Arrangement pursuant to the terms of the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan.

5.9     No Change of Control Payments

          The Parties acknowledge that the Arrangement will not result in a "change of control" or any other form of accelerated vesting for the purposes of the Suncor Incentive Compensation Plans, the Suncor Stock Option Plans, the Petro-Canada Incentive Compensation Plans and the Petro-Canada Stock Option Plan and any executive employment or change of control agreements applicable to any employees or the directors of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries or any other employment or consulting services agreement, incentive, bonus or similar plan.

    (d)
    holders of such number of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares that, in the aggregate, would constitute not greater than 2% of the number of Amalco Shares that would be outstanding following completion of the Arrangement (assuming for the purpose of calculating the outstanding number of Amalco Shares that there are no holders of Suncor Shares and Petro-Canada Shares who have exercised rights of dissent), shall have validly exercised rights of dissent in respect of the Arrangement that have not been withdrawn as of the Effective Date.

        The conditions in this Section 6.2 are for the exclusive benefit of Suncor and may be asserted by Suncor regardless of the circumstances or may be waived in writing by Suncor in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without prejudice to any other rights which Suncor may have.

    the representations and warranties made by Suncor in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date or except as affected by transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and complete, individually or in the aggregate, would not result or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change in respect of Suncor or would not, or would not reasonably be expected to, materially impede completion of the Arrangement, and Suncor shall have provided to Petro-Canada a certificate of two senior officers of Suncor certifying the foregoing on the Effective Date;

    (b)
    Suncor shall have complied in all material respects with its covenants herein, except where the failure to comply in all material respects with its covenants, individually or in the aggregate, would not result or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change in respect of Suncor or would not, or would not reasonably be expected to, materially impede completion of the Arrangement, and Suncor shall have provided to Petro-Canada a certificate of two senior officers of Suncor certifying compliance with such covenants on the Effective Date; and

    (c)

C-26


6.4     Notice and Cure Provisions

          Each Party will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the Effective Date, of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to:

    (a)
    cause any of the representations or warranties of either Party contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date hereof or at the Effective Date; or

    (b)
    result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by either Party prior to or at the Effective Date.

If any of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 hereof shall not be complied with or waived by the Party for whose benefit such conditions are provided on or before the date required for the performance thereof, then a Party for whose benefit the condition precedent is provided may rescind and terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1(d) hereof; provided that neither Suncor nor Petro-Canada may elect to rescind and terminate this Agreement pursuant to the conditions contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 or exercise any termination right arising therefrom unless forthwith, and in any event prior to the issuance of the Certificate by the Director, the Party intending to rely thereon has delivered a written notice to the other Party specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, inaccuracies of representations and warranties or other matters which the Party delivering such notice is asserting as the basis for the non-fulfillment of the applicable condition or the availability of a termination right, as the case may be. If any such notice is delivered, provided that a Party is proceeding diligently to cure any such matter capable of cure, no Party may terminate this Agreement until the expiration of a period of 10 business days from the date of receipt of such notice. If such notice has been delivered prior to the date of the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting or the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, Suncor or Petro-Canada, as the case may be, may elect to postpone the meeting of its shareholders until the expiry of such period.

6.5     Merger of Conditions

          Subject to applicable Law, the conditions set out in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 shall be conclusively deemed to have been satisfied, waived or released upon the issuance of a Certificate in respect of the Arrangement.


ARTICLE VII

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

7.1     Mutual Covenant Regarding Non-Solicitation

(1)
Each Party shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions and negotiations (including through any advisors or other parties on its behalf), if any, with any parties conducted before the date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal in respect of such Party and shall immediately request the return or destruction of all information respecting such Party provided to any third parties who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such Party relating to an Acquisition Proposal in respect of such Party and shall use all commercial efforts to ensure that such requests are honoured.

(2)
Neither Party shall, directly or indirectly, do or authorize or permit any of its Representatives to do, any of the following:

(a)
solicit, knowingly facilitate, initiate or encourage any Acquisition Proposal in respect of such Party;

(b)
enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to its businesses, properties, operations, prospects or conditions (financial or otherwise) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt of any other Person to do or seek to do any of the foregoing;

(c)
waive, or otherwise forbear in the enforcement of, or enter into or participate in any discussions, negotiations or agreements to waive or otherwise forbear in respect of, any rights or other benefits under confidential information agreements, including any "standstill provisions" thereunder; or

C-27


    (d)
    accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement an Acquisition Proposal;

    provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each Party and its officers, directors and advisers may prior to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution at the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting in respect of Suncor or the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting in respect of Petro-Canada:

    (e)
    enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with a third party who, without any solicitation, initiation or encouragement, directly or indirectly, after the date of this Agreement, by such Party or any of its Representatives, seeks to initiate such discussions or negotiations and, subject to execution of a confidentiality and standstill agreement in favour of such Party substantially similar to the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that such confidentiality agreement shall provide for disclosure thereof (along with all information provided thereunder) to the other Party as set out below), may furnish to such third party information concerning such Party and its business, properties and assets, in each case if, and only to the extent that:

    (i)
    the third party has first made a written bona fide Acquisition Proposal which the board of directors of the Party subject to the Acquisition Proposal determines in good faith: (1) that the funds or other consideration necessary to complete the Acquisition Proposal are or are reasonably likely to be available to fund completion of the Acquisition Proposal at the time and on the basis set out therein; (2) after consultation with its financial advisor(s), would or would be reasonably likely to, if consummated in accordance with its terms, result in a transaction financially superior for shareholders of such Party to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; (3) after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside counsel, is reasonably likely to be consummated at the time and on the terms proposed, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal; and (4) after receiving the advice of outside counsel, as reflected in minutes of the board of directors of such Party, that the taking of such action is necessary for the board of directors of the Party subject to the Acquisition Proposal to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws (a "Superior Proposal"); and

    (ii)
    prior to furnishing such information to or entering into or participating in any such discussions or negotiations with such third party, the Party shall (1) provide prompt notice to the other Party to the effect that it is furnishing information to or entering into or participating in discussions or negotiations with such third party, together with a copy of the confidentiality and standstill agreement referenced above and, if not previously provided to such other Party, copies of all information provided to such third party concurrently with the provision of such information to such third party, (2) notify the other Party orally and in writing of any inquiries, offers or proposals with respect to an actual or contemplated Superior Proposal (which written notice shall include a copy of any such proposal (and any amendments or supplements thereto), the identity of the Person making it, if not previously provided to the other Party and copies of all information provided to the third party), within 24 hours of the receipt thereof, and (3) keep the other Party informed of the status and details of any such inquiry, offer or proposal and answer the other Party's reasonable questions with respect thereto;

    (f)
    comply with Multilateral Instrument 62-104 — Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids and similar provisions under Canadian Securities Laws and U.S. Securities Laws relating to the provision of directors' circulars and make appropriate disclosure with respect thereto to its securityholders; and

    (g)
    accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal from a third party, but only if prior to such acceptance, recommendation, approval or implementation, (i) the board of directors of the Party subject to the Superior Proposal concludes in good faith, after considering all proposals to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 7.1(3) and after receiving the advice of outside counsel as reflected in minutes of the board of directors of such Party, that the taking of such action is necessary for such board of directors to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws, (ii) such Party complies with its obligations set forth in Section 7.1(3) and (iii) such Party terminates this Agreement in

C-28


      accordance with Section 8.1(f), and concurrently therewith pays the amount required by Section 7.2 to the other Party.

(3)
Following receipt of a Superior Proposal, the Party subject to such Superior Proposal shall give the other Party, orally and in writing, at least 72 hours advance notice of any decision by the board of directors of the Party subject to such Superior Proposal to accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal, which notice shall confirm that such board of directors has determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, shall identify the third party making the Superior Proposal and shall provide a true and complete copy thereof, including all financing documents, and any amendments thereto. During such 72 hour period, the Party subject to such Superior Proposal agrees not to accept, recommend, approve or enter into any agreement to implement such Superior Proposal and not to release the party making the Superior Proposal from any standstill provisions and shall not withdraw, redefine, modify or change its recommendation in respect of the Arrangement. In addition, during such 72 hour period the Party subject to such Superior Proposal shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate in good faith with the other Party and its financial and legal advisors to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the Party subject to such Superior Proposal to proceed with the Arrangement as amended rather than the Superior Proposal. In the event the other Party proposes to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement on a basis such that the board of directors of the Party subject to the Superior Proposal determines that the proposed transaction is no longer a Superior Proposal and so advises the board of directors of the other Party prior to the expiry of such period, the board of directors of the Party subject to such Acquisition Proposal shall not accept, recommend, approve or enter into any agreement to implement such Acquisition Proposal and shall not release the party making the Acquisition Proposal from any standstill provisions and shall not withdraw, redefine, modify or change its recommendation in respect of the Arrangement. In the event that a Party provides the notice contemplated by this Section 7.1(3) on a date which is less than five business days prior to the Suncor Shareholders' Meeting or the Petro-Canada Shareholders' Meeting, the other Party shall be entitled to (a) adjourn or postpone its shareholders' meeting and (b) require the Party subject to the Superior Proposal to adjourn or postpone its shareholders' meeting, in each case to a date that is not more than ten business days after the date of such notice.

(4)
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the board of directors of any Party from withdrawing, modifying, qualifying or changing its recommendation to its shareholders in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the approval of the Arrangement by such shareholders, if the board of directors of such Party determines, in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and after receiving written advice of outside counsel), that such withdrawal, modification, qualification or change is necessary for the board of directors to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws; provided that (a) not less than 48 hours before the board of directors considers any proposal in respect of any such withdrawal, modification, qualification or change, such Party shall give the other Party written notice of such proposal and promptly advise the other Party of the proposed consideration of such proposal; and (b) the foregoing shall not relieve a Party from its obligation to proceed to call and hold the applicable shareholders' meeting and to hold the vote on the Arrangement Resolution (provided that, except as required under applicable Laws, such Party shall be relieved from its obligations to actively solicit proxies in favour of the Arrangement in such circumstances), except in circumstances where this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

(5)
Each Party shall ensure that its Representatives are aware of the provisions of this Section 7.1 applicable to such Party. Each Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 7.1 by such Party's Representatives.

7.2     Agreement as to Damages

          If at any time after the execution of this Agreement:

    (a)
    the board of directors of one Party has withdrawn, modified, qualified or changed any of its recommendations or determinations referred to in Section 2.2 or Section 2.3, as applicable, (including, for greater certainty, in the circumstances contemplated by Section 7.1(4)) in a manner adverse to the other Party or shall have resolved to do so prior to the Effective Date, or has failed to publicly reconfirm any such recommendation upon the request of the other Party prior to the earlier

C-29


      of ten days following such request or 72 hours prior to the applicable shareholders' meeting (unless the Party requesting such reconfirmation is then in material breach of its obligations hereunder and such withdrawal, change or failure relates to such breach);

    (b)
    a bona fide Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced, proposed, offered or made to the shareholders of a Party or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention to make a bona fide Acquisition Proposal in respect of a Party and, after such Acquisition Proposal shall have been made known, made or announced, Suncor Shareholders (in the case of an Acquisition Proposal in respect of Suncor) or Petro-Canada Shareholders (in the case of an Acquisition Proposal in respect of Petro-Canada), as the case may be, do not approve the Arrangement or vote upon the Arrangement Resolution, and such Acquisition Proposal or an amended version thereof relating to Suncor or Petro-Canada, as the case may be, is consummated or effected as applicable within six months of the date the first Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced, proposed, offered or made; and for the purpose of this paragraph the references in the definition of "Acquisition Proposal" to "20% or more of the voting securities" shall be deemed to be references to "50% or more of the voting securities", and the references to "a substantial amount of assets" shall be deemed to be references to "all or substantially all of the assets";

    (c)
    the board of directors of a Party accepts, recommends, approves or enters into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal; or

    (d)
    a Party is in breach of any of its covenants made in this Agreement, which breach individually or in the aggregate causes or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change with respect to such Party or materially impedes or would reasonably be expected to materially impede the completion of the Arrangement, and such Party fails to cure such breach within 10 business days after receipt of written notice thereof from the other Party;

(each of the above being a "Damages Event") then in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 as a result thereof, (i) if Suncor is the subject of any of the foregoing events, it shall pay to Petro-Canada, within two business days of the first to occur of the foregoing, a fee in the amount of $300 million as liquidated damages in immediately available funds to an account designated by Petro-Canada and (ii) if Petro-Canada is the subject of any of the foregoing events, it shall pay to Suncor, within two business days of the first to occur of the foregoing, a fee in the amount of $300 million as liquidated damages in immediately available funds to an account designated by Suncor, and after such event but prior to payment of such amount, the Party required to make such payment shall be deemed to hold such funds in trust for the other Party; provided that in the case of a Damages Event pursuant to Section 7.2(c) such payment shall be made by a Party to the other Party concurrently with the acceptance, recommending, approving or entering into of the Superior Proposal by such Party. Suncor shall only be obligated to pay a maximum of $300 million pursuant to this Section 7.2 and Petro-Canada shall only be obligated to pay a maximum of $300 million pursuant to this Section 7.2.

7.3     Fees and Expenses

(1)
Subject to subsections (2) and (3), each Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with this Agreement and the Arrangement. Suncor and Petro-Canada shall share equally any filing fees and applicable Taxes payable for or in respect of any application, notification or other filing made in respect of any regulatory process in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement, including, without limiting the generality thereof, under the Competition Act and the HSR Act.

(2)
If (i) this Agreement is terminated because of the failure of the condition in Section 6.2(a), or (ii) this Agreement is terminated by Suncor pursuant to Section 8.1(c) and at the time of such termination there is a state of facts or circumstances that would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) not to be satisfied, notwithstanding the availability of any cure period, Petro-Canada shall pay Suncor an amount equal to $20 million as reimbursement to Suncor for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement, provided that if Suncor is in material breach of its obligations hereunder at the time of the termination of the Agreement such amount will not be payable.

C-30


(3)
If (i) this Agreement is terminated because of the failure of the condition in Section 6.3(a), or (ii) this Agreement is terminated by Petro-Canada pursuant to Section 8.1(c) and at the time of such termination there is a state of facts or circumstances that would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 6.3(a) or 6.3(b) not to be satisfied, notwithstanding the availability of any cure period, Suncor shall pay Petro-Canada an amount equal to $20 million as reimbursement to Petro-Canada for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Arrangement, provided that if Petro-Canada is in material breach of its obligations hereunder at the time of the termination of the Agreement such amount will not be payable.

(4)
No fees shall be payable by a Party under subsection (2) or (3) if that Party has paid a fee under Section 7.2.

7.4     Liquidated Damages

          Each Party acknowledges that all of the payment amounts set out in this Article VII are payments of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which Suncor or Petro-Canada will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties. Each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, the Parties agree that the payment of any amounts pursuant to this Article VII is the sole monetary remedy of Suncor and Petro-Canada; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply in the event of fraud or willful breach of this Agreement by a Party.

7.5     Access to Information; Confidentiality

(1)
From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Date and the termination of this Agreement, Petro-Canada shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, subject to all applicable Laws and in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and any other subsequent written agreement that addresses confidentiality between the Parties, afford to Suncor and the Representatives of Suncor complete access at all reasonable times to their officers, employees, agents, properties, books, records and contracts (including permitting Suncor's Representatives to attend Petro-Canada's weekly operations meetings), and shall furnish Suncor with all data and information as Suncor may reasonably request, subject to the conditions contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and any other subsequent written agreement that addresses confidentiality between the Parties, in order to permit Suncor to be in a position to expeditiously and efficiently integrate the businesses and operations of Suncor and Petro-Canada immediately upon but not prior to the Effective Date.

(2)
From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Date and the termination of this Agreement, Suncor shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, subject to all applicable Laws and in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and any other subsequent written agreement that addresses confidentiality between the Parties, afford to Petro-Canada and to the Representatives of Petro-Canada complete access at all reasonable times to their officers, employees, agents, properties, books, records and contracts (including permitting Petro-Canada's Representatives to attend Suncor's weekly operations meetings), and shall furnish Petro-Canada with all data and information as Petro-Canada may reasonably request, subject to the conditions contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and any other subsequent written agreement that addresses confidentiality between the Parties, in order to permit Petro-Canada to be in a position to expeditiously and efficiently integrate the businesses and operations of Suncor and Petro-Canada immediately upon but not prior to the Effective Date.

7.6     Insurance and Indemnification

(1)
Suncor and Petro-Canada agree that Amalco will maintain in effect without any reduction in scope or coverage for six years from the Effective Date customary policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance providing protection comparable to the most favourable protection provided by the policies maintained by Suncor and Petro-Canada and their respective Subsidiaries as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and providing coverage on a "trailing" or "run-off" basis for all present and former directors and officers of Suncor and Petro-Canada with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred prior to the Effective Date.

C-31


(2)
Suncor and Petro-Canada agree that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favour of present and former officers and directors of each of Suncor and Petro-Canada shall survive the Arrangement and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Date.

7.7     Financial Advisors

          Suncor and Petro-Canada represent and warrant to each other that, except for CIBC World Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley Canada Limited in the case of Suncor and RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. in the case of Petro-Canada, no financial advisor, broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission, or to the reimbursement of any of its expenses, in connection with the Arrangement. Each Party has provided to the other Party a correct and complete copy of all agreements relating to the arrangements between it and its financial advisors as are in existence at the date hereof and agrees (a) not to amend the terms of any such agreements relating to the payment of fees and expenses or indemnification without the prior written approval of the other Party; and (b) not to disclose the terms of the agreements between the other Party and its financial advisors to such Party's financial advisors.

CERTIFICATES AND FRACTIONAL SHARES

4.1     Issuance of Certificates Representing Amalco Shares

          Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that were (i) exchanged for Subco 3 Non-Voting Shares or Subco 1 Non-Voting Shares; and/or (ii) converted into one or more Amalco Shares under the Arrangement, together with such other documents and instruments as would have been required to effect the transfer of the shares formerly represented by such certificate under the CBCA and the by-laws of Suncor or Petro-Canada, as applicable, and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder, a certificate representing that number (rounded in accordance with Section 4.3) of Amalco Shares which such holder has the right to receive (together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.2), and the certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of Suncor or Petro-Canada, as applicable, a certificate representing the proper number of Amalco Shares may be issued to the transferee if the certificate representing such Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, as applicable, is presented to the Depositary, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.1, each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that were exchanged for Subco 3 Non-Voting Shares or Subco 1 Non-Voting Shares; and/or converted into Amalco Shares shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender (i) the certificate representing Amalco Shares as contemplated by this Section 4.1, and (ii) any dividends or distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid or payable with respect to Amalco Shares as contemplated by Section 4.2.

4.2     Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates

          No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Amalco Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that were exchanged pursuant to the Arrangement unless and until the holder of record of such certificate shall surrender such certificate in accordance with Section 4.1. Subject to applicable Law, at the time of such surrender of any such certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of record of the certificates representing whole Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole Amalco Share, and (ii) on the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole Amalco Share, as the case may be.

4.3     No Fractional Shares

          No certificates or scrip representing fractional Amalco Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates pursuant to Section 4.1 and no dividend, stock split or other change in the capital structure of Amalco shall relate to any such fractional security and such fractional interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to exercise any rights as a security holder of Amalco. In lieu of any fractional Amalco Shares, a shareholder otherwise entitled to a fractional interest in an Amalco Share, shall receive the nearest whole number of Amalco Shares as applicable (with fractions equal to exactly 0.5 being rounded up).

4.4     Lost Certificates

          In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that were exchanged pursuant to the Arrangement shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such

C-49



certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, one or more certificates representing one or more Amalco Shares (and any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.2) deliverable in accordance with such holder's Letter of Transmittal and Election Form. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom certificates representing Amalco Shares are to be issued shall, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to Amalco and its transfer agents in such sum as Amalco may direct or otherwise indemnify Amalco in a manner satisfactory to Amalco against any claim that may be made against Amalco with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

4.5     Extinction of Rights

          Subject to any applicable legislation relating to unclaimed personal property, any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares that are exchanged pursuant to the Arrangement and not deposited with all other instruments required by Section 4.1 on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature as a shareholder of Amalco. On such date, the Amalco Shares to which the former registered holder of the certificate referred to in the preceding sentence was ultimately entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to Amalco, together with all entitlements to dividends, distributions and interest thereon held for such former registered holder.

4.6     Withholding Rights

          Amalco and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend or consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Suncor Shares or Petro-Canada Shares, such amounts as Amalco or the Depositary are required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the U.S. Tax Code or any provision of provincial, state, local or foreign Tax Law, in each case as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. To the extent that the amount so required or permitted to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash component, if any, of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, Amalco and the Depositary are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the Amalco Shares otherwise issuable to the holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Amalco or the Depositary, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and Amalco or the Depositary shall notify the holder thereof and remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate taxing authority.

2.4
In the event that it appears from the central securities register of Amalco that, or in the event, of a directors' determination that, any person, together with the associates of that person, after any proposed subscription, issue or transfer of voting shares, would be in contravention of the individual share constraint, Amalco shall not:

C-56


3.       Sell-Down Notice

3.1
Any notice (a "sell-down notice") required to be sent to a registered holder of voting shares pursuant to paragraph 2.3(f):

(a)
shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of the contravention of the individual share constraint, the number of voting shares determined to be excess voting shares and the consequences of the contravention specified in section 2;

(b)
shall request an initial or further shareholder's declaration;

(c)
shall specify a date, which shall be not less than 45 days after the date of the sell-down notice, by which the excess voting shares are to be sold or disposed of; and

(d)
shall state that unless the registered holder either:

(i)
sells or otherwise disposes of the excess voting shares by the date specified in the sell-down notice on a basis that does not result in any contravention of the individual share constraint and provides to Amalco, in addition to the shareholder's declaration requested pursuant to paragraph 3.1(b), written evidence satisfactory to Amalco of such sale or other disposition; or

(ii)
provides to Amalco, in addition to the shareholder's declaration requested pursuant to paragraph 3.1(b), written evidence satisfactory to Amalco that no such sale or other disposition of excess voting shares is required;

      such default (a "shareholder default") shall result in the consequence of suspension pursuant to section 4 and may result in the consequence of sale in accordance with section 5 or redemption in accordance with section 6, in each case without further notice to the registered holder, and shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and timing of those consequences.

3.2
In the event that, following the sending of a sell-down notice, written evidence is submitted to Amalco for purposes of subparagraph 3.1(d)(ii), Amalco shall assess the evidence as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event shall give a second notice to the person submitting the evidence not later than 10 days after the receipt thereof stating whether the evidence has or has not satisfied Amalco that no sale or other disposition of excess voting shares is required. If the evidence has so satisfied Amalco, such sell-down notice shall be cancelled and such second notice shall so state. If the evidence has not so satisfied Amalco, such second notice shall reiterate the statements required to be made in such sell-down notice pursuant to paragraphs 3.1(c) and (d). In either case, the 45 day period referred to in paragraph 3.1(c) shall be automatically extended to the end of the 10 day period referred to in this section 3.2 if such 10 day period extends beyond such 45 day period.

4.       Suspension

no person may, in person or by proxy, exercise the right to vote any of such voting shares;

Amalco shall not send any form of proxy, information circular or financial statements of Amalco or any other communication from Amalco to any person in respect of such voting shares; and

(e)
no person may exercise any other right or privilege ordinarily attached to such voting shares.

(All of the foregoing consequences of a shareholder default are referred to in this Schedule B as a "suspension".) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a registered holder of suspended voting shares shall have the right to transfer such voting shares on any securities register of Amalco on a basis that does not result in contravention of the individual share constraint.

C-57


4.2
The directors of Amalco shall cancel any suspension of voting shares of a registered holder and reinstate the registered holder to the securities register of Amalco for all purposes if they determine that, following the cancellation and reinstatement, none of such voting shares will be held, beneficially owned or controlled in contravention of the individual share constraint. For greater certainty, any such reinstatement shall permit, from and after the reinstatement, the exercise of all rights and privileges attached to the voting shares so reinstated but, subject to subsection 9.1, shall have no retroactive effect.

5.       Sale

5.1
In the event of a shareholder default in respect of any registered holder of voting shares, Amalco may elect by directors' determination to sell, on behalf of the registered holder, the excess voting shares thereof, without further notice thereto, on the terms set forth in this section 5 and section 7.

5.2
Amalco may sell any excess voting shares in accordance with this section 5:

(a)
on the principal stock exchange; or

(b)
if there is no principal stock exchange, on such other stock exchange or organized market on which the voting shares are then listed or traded as the directors of Amalco shall determine; or

(c)
if the voting shares are not then listed on any stock exchange or traded on any organized market, in such other manner as the directors of Amalco shall determine.

5.3
The net proceeds of sale of excess voting shares sold in accordance with this section 5 shall be the net proceeds after deduction of any commission, tax or other cost of sale.

5.4
For all purposes of a sale of excess voting shares in accordance with this section, Amalco is the agent and lawful attorney of the registered holder and the beneficial owner of the excess voting shares.

6.       Redemption

6.1
In the event of a shareholder default in respect of any registered holder of voting shares and in the event that the directors of Amalco determine either that Amalco has used reasonable efforts to sell excess voting shares in accordance with section 5 but that such sale is impracticable or that it is likely that such sale would have material adverse consequences to Amalco or the holders of voting shares, Amalco may elect by directors' determination, subject to applicable law, to redeem the excess voting shares thereof, without further notice thereto, on the terms set forth in this section 6 and section 7.

6.2
The redemption price paid by Amalco to redeem any excess voting shares in accordance with this section 6 shall be:

(a)
the average of the closing prices per share of the voting shares on the principal stock exchange (or, if there is no principal stock exchange or if the requisite trading of voting shares has not occurred on the principal stock exchange, such other stock exchange or such other organized market on which such requisite trading has occurred as the directors of Amalco shall determine) over the last 10 trading days on which at least one board lot of voting shares has traded on the principal stock exchange (or such other stock exchange or such other organized market) in the period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

(b)
if the requisite trading of voting shares has not occurred on any stock exchange or other organized market, on such basis as the directors of Amalco shall determine.

7.       Procedures Relating to Sale and Redemption

7.1
In the event of any sale or redemption of excess voting shares in accordance with section 5 or 6, respectively, Amalco shall deposit an amount equal to the amount of the net proceeds of sale or the redemption price, respectively, in a special account in any bank or trust company in Canada selected by it. The amount of the deposit, less the reasonable costs of administration of the special account, shall be payable to the registered holder of the excess voting shares sold or redeemed on presentation and surrender by the registered holder to that bank or trust company of the certificate or certificates representing the excess voting shares. Any interest earned on any amount so deposited shall accrue to the benefit of Amalco.

C-58


7.2
From and after any deposit made pursuant to subsection 7.1, the registered holder shall not be entitled to any of the remaining rights of a registered holder in respect of the excess voting shares sold or redeemed, other than the right, to receive the funds so deposited on presentation and surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the excess voting shares sold or redeemed.

7.3
If a part only of the voting shares represented by any certificate is sold or redeemed in accordance with section 5 or 6, respectively, Amalco shall, on presentation and surrender of such certificate and at the expense of the registered holder, issue a new certificate representing the balance of the voting shares.

7.4
So soon as is reasonably practicable after, and, in any event, not later than 30 days after, a deposit made pursuant to subsection 7.1, Amalco shall send a notice to the registered holder of the excess voting shares sold or redeemed and the notice shall state:

(a)
that a specified number of voting shares has been sold or redeemed, as the case may be;

(b)
the amount of the net proceeds of sale or the redemption price, respectively;

(c)
the name and address of the bank or trust company at which Amalco has made the deposit of the net proceeds of sale or the redemption price, respectively; and

(d)
all other relevant particulars of the sale or redemption, respectively.

7.5
For greater certainty, Amalco may sell or redeem excess voting shares in accordance with section 5 or 6, respectively, despite the fact that Amalco does not possess the certificate or certificates representing the excess voting shares at the time of the sale or redemption. If, in accordance with section 5, Amalco sells excess voting shares without possession of the certificate or certificates representing the excess voting shares, Amalco shall issue to the purchaser of such excess voting shares or its nominee a new certificate or certificates representing the excess voting shares sold. lf, in accordance with section 5 or section 6, Amalco sells or redeems excess voting shares without possession of the certificate or certificates representing the excess voting shares and, after the sale or redemption, a person establishes that it is a bona fide purchaser of the excess voting shares sold or redeemed, then, subject to applicable law:

(a)
the excess voting shares held or beneficially owned by the bona fide purchaser are deemed to be, from the date of the sale or redemption by Amalco, as the case may be, validly issued and outstanding voting shares in addition to the excess voting shares sold or redeemed; and

(b)
notwithstanding subsection 7.2, Amalco is entitled to the deposit made pursuant to subsection 7.1 and, in the case of a sale in accordance with section 5, shall add the amount of the deposit to the stated capital account for the class of voting shares issued.

8.       Exceptions

8.1
Notwithstanding section 2, the individual share constraint does not apply in respect of voting shares of Amalco that are held:

(a)
by the Minister in trust for Her Majesty in right of Canada;

(b)
by one or more underwriters solely for the purpose of distributing the voting shares to the public; or

(c)
by any person who provides centralized facilities for the clearing of trades in securities and is acting in relation to trades in the voting shares solely as an intermediary in the payment of funds or the delivery of securities, or both.

9.       Saving Provisions

9.1
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule B:

(a)
the directors of Amalco may determine to pay a dividend or to make any other distribution on voting shares that would otherwise be prohibited by any other provision of this Schedule B where the contravention of the individual share constraint that gave rise to the prohibition was inadvertent or of a technical nature or it would otherwise be inequitable not to pay the dividend or make the distribution; and

C-59


    (b)
    where a dividend has not been paid or any other distribution has not been made on voting shares as a result of a directors' determination of a contravention of the individual share constraint, or where the amount of a dividend or any other distribution has been restored to Amalco pursuant to paragraph 2.5(b) as a result of a directors' determination of a contravention of the individual share constraint, the directors of Amalco shall declare and pay the dividend, make the distribution, or refund the restored amount, respectively, if they subsequently determine that no such contravention occurred.

9.2
In the event that Amalco suspends or redeems voting shares in accordance with section 4 or 6, respectively, or otherwise redeems, purchases for cancellation or otherwise acquires voting shares, and the result of such action is that any person and the associates of that person who, prior to such action, were not in contravention of the individual share constraint are, after such action, in contravention, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule B, the sole consequence of such action to that person and the associates of that person, in respect of the voting shares of that person and of the associates of that person held, beneficially owned or controlled at the time of such action, shall be that the number of votes attached to those voting shares shall be reduced to a number that is the largest whole number of votes that may be attached to the voting shares which that person and the associates of that person could hold, beneficially own or control from time to time in compliance with the individual share constraint.

9.3
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule B, a contravention of the individual share constraint shall have no consequences except those that are expressly provided for in this Schedule B. For greater certainty but without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a)
no transfer, issue or ownership of, and no title to, voting shares;

(b)
no resolution of shareholders (except to the extent that the result thereof is affected as a result of a directors' determination under paragraph 2.5(a)); and

(c)
no act of Amalco, including any transfer of property to or by Amalco;

shall be invalid or otherwise affected by any contravention of the individual share constraint.

10.     Directors' Determinations

10.1
The directors of Amalco shall have the sole right and authority to administer the provisions of this Schedule B and to make any determination required or contemplated hereunder. In so acting, the directors of Amalco shall enjoy, in addition to the powers set forth in this Schedule B, all of the powers necessary or desirable, in their opinion, to carry out the intent and purpose of this Schedule B. The directors of Amalco shall make on a timely basis all determinations necessary for the administration of the provisions of this Schedule B and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the directors of Amalco consider that there are reasonable grounds for believing that a contravention of the individual share constraint has occurred or will occur, the directors shall make a determination with respect to the matter. Any directors' determination that is not inconsistent with the Petro-Canada Public Participation Act and other applicable law shall be conclusive, final and binding except to the extent modified by any subsequent directors' determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors of Amalco may delegate, in whole or in part:

(a)
their power to make a directors' determination in respect of any particular matter to a committee of the board of directors; and

(b)
any of their other powers under this Schedule B in accordance with subsection 115(3) or paragraph 121(a) of the Canada Business Corporations Act.

10.2
The directors of Amalco shall make any directors' determination contemplated by section 2:

(a)
after the relevant shareholder's declarations have been requested and received by Amalco, only:

(i)
on a basis consistent with those shareholder's declarations; or

(ii)
if the directors of Amalco are of the opinion that the shareholder's declarations do not contain adequate or accurate information and they believe and have reasonable grounds for believing

C-60


        that they will not be provided with shareholder's declarations that do contain adequate and accurate information; or

    (b)
    whether or not any shareholder's declaration has been requested or received by Amalco, only if the directors of Amalco believe and have reasonable grounds for believing that they have sufficient information to make the directors' determination, that the consequences of the directors' determination would not be inequitable to those affected by it and that it would be impractical, under all the circumstances, to request or to await the receipt of any shareholder's declaration.

10.3
In administering the provisions of this Schedule B, including, without limitation, in making any directors' determination in accordance with subsection 10.2 or otherwise, the directors of Amalco may rely on any information on which the directors consider it reasonable to rely in the circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the directors of Amalco may rely upon any shareholder's declaration, the securities register of Amalco, the knowledge of any director, officer or employee of Amalco or any advisor to Amalco and the opinion of counsel to Amalco.

10.4
In administering the provisions of this Schedule B, including, without limitation, in making any directors' determination, the directors shall act honestly and in good faith. Provided that the directors of Amalco so act, they shall not be liable to Amalco and neither they nor Amalco shall be liable to any holder or beneficial owner of voting securities or any other person for, nor with respect to any matter arising from or related to, any act or omission to act in relation to this Schedule B. To the extent that, in accordance with subsection 10.1, any other person exercises the powers of the directors of Amalco under these provisions, this subsection 10.4 applies mutatis mutandis.

10.5
Any directors' determination required or contemplated by this Schedule B shall be expressed and conclusively evidenced by a resolution duly adopted.

11.     Shareholder's Declarations

11.1
For purposes of monitoring the compliance with and of enforcing the provisions of this Schedule B, the directors of Amalco may require that any registered holder or beneficial owner, or any other person of whom it is, in the circumstances, reasonable to make such request, file with Amalco or its registrar and transfer agent a completed shareholder's declaration. The directors of Amalco shall determine from time to time written guidelines with respect to the nature of the shareholder's declaration to be requested, the times at which shareholder's declarations are to be requested and any other relevant matters relating to shareholder's declarations.

11.2
A shareholder's declaration shall be in the form from time to time determined by the directors of Amalco pursuant to subsection 11.1 and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may be required to be in the form of a simple declaration in writing or a statutory declaration under the Canada Evidence Act. Without limiting the generality of its contents, any shareholder's declaration may be required to contain information with respect to:

    (a)
    whether the person is the beneficial owner of or controls particular voting securities or whether any other person is the beneficial owner of or controls those voting securities; and

    (b)
    whether the person is an associate of any other person, including whether the person and any other person act, or are parties to an agreement or an arrangement, a purpose of which is to require them to act, in concert with respect to their interests, direct or indirect, in Amalco.

Suncor is, and its Material Subsidiaries are, duly registered to do business and each is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties, owned or leased, or the nature of its activities makes such registration necessary, except where the failure to be so registered or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Suncor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Assumptions and Limitations

        Our Opinion is subject to the assumptions, explanations and limitations set forth below.

        We have not been asked to prepare and have not prepared a formal valuation or appraisal of any of the assets or securities of the Company, Petro-Canada or any of their respective affiliates (including Amalco, after giving effect to the completion of the Proposed Transaction) and our Opinion should not be construed as such.

        With your permission, we have relied upon, and have assumed the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all financial and other information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained by us from public sources, or provided to us by the Company, Petro-Canada or their respective affiliates or advisors or otherwise obtained by us pursuant to our engagement, and our Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation.

We have not met separately with the independent auditors of Suncor or Petro-Canada and have assumed, and relied upon, the accuracy and fair presentation of the Company's and Petro-Canada's audited financial statements and the reports of the auditors thereon.

the Company and Petro-Canada, having regard to the Company's and Petro-Canada's respective management plans, financial condition and prospects.

        We have also assumed that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Arrangement Agreement are correct as of the date hereof, that the Proposed Transaction will be completed substantially in accordance with the requirements of the Arrangement Agreement and all applicable laws, and that the Joint Proxy Circular will disclose all material facts relating to the Proposed Transaction and will satisfy all applicable legal requirements.

        The Company has represented to us, in a certificate of two senior officers of the Company, dated as at the date hereof, among other things, that the information, data and other material provided to us by or on behalf of the Company (collectively, the "Suncor Information"), was complete, true and correct at the date the Suncor Information was provided to us and that, since the date of the Suncor Information, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of the Company and its affiliates and no material change has occurred in the Suncor Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Opinion.

        Petro-Canada has represented to us, in a certificate of two senior officers of Petro-Canada, dated as at the date hereof, among other things, that the information, data and other material provided to us by or on behalf of Petro-Canada (collectively, the "Petro-Canada Information"), was complete, true and correct at the date the Petro-Canada Information was provided to us and that, since the date of the Petro-Canada Information, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of Petro-Canada and its affiliates and no material change has occurred in the Petro-Canada Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Opinion.

In our analyses and in connection with the preparation of our Opinion, we made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, commodity prices, general business, capital markets and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Proposed Transaction.

        The Opinion has been provided to the Board of Directors for its exclusive use only in considering the Proposed Transaction and may not be relied upon by any other person, or for any other purpose or published without the prior written consent of CIBC World Markets. Our Opinion is not to be construed as (i) a recommendation to any holder of Suncor common shares as to whether to vote in favour of the Proposed Transaction or (ii) as an opinion as to the prices at which Amalco's common shares will trade after completion of the Proposed Transaction.

        The Opinion is given as of the date hereof and, although we reserve the right to change or withdraw the Opinion if we learn that any of the information that we relied upon in preparing the Opinion was inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any material respect, we disclaim any obligation to change or withdraw the Opinion, to advise any person of such change or withdrawal or to update the Opinion after today.

Members of the Board:

We understand that Petro-Canada ("Petro-Canada") and Suncor Energy Inc. ("Suncor") propose to enter into an Arrangement Agreement substantially in the form of the draft dated March 21, 2009 (the "Arrangement Agreement"), which provides, among other things, for the amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") of Suncor and Petro-Canada to form a successor corporation ("Amalco") pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement. Pursuant to the Amalgamation, the common shares of Suncor (the "Suncor Common Shares") will be converted into 1.00 common share of Amalco (the "Amalco Common Shares") for each Suncor Common Share (the "Suncor Exchange Ratio"). The terms and conditions of the Amalgamation are more fully set forth in the Arrangement Agreement.

You have asked for our opinion as to whether the Suncor Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to the holders of the Suncor Common Shares.

For purposes of the opinion set forth herein, we have:

1)

11)
Compared the financial performance of Petro-Canada and Suncor and the prices and trading activity of Petro-Canada Common Shares and Suncor Common Shares with that of certain other publicly-traded companies comparable with Petro-Canada and Suncor, respectively, and their securities;

16)
Performed such other analyses and considered such other factors as we have deemed appropriate.

We have assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to us by Petro-Canada and Suncor, and formed a substantial basis for this opinion. With respect to the financial projections, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Amalgamation, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the respective management of Petro-Canada and Suncor of the future financial performance of Petro-Canada and Suncor. In addition, we have assumed that the Amalgamation will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Arrangement Agreement without any waiver, amendment or delay of any terms or conditions, including, among other things, that the Arrangement will be structured to allow holders of Suncor Common Shares and holders of Petro-Canada Common Shares to receive Amalco Common Shares on a tax-deferred basis for Canadian and United States income tax purposes. Morgan Stanley has assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required for the proposed Amalgamation, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Amalgamation. We are not legal, tax, or regulatory advisors. We are financial advisors only and have relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of Suncor and Petro-Canada and their legal, tax and regulatory advisors with respect to legal, tax, and regulatory matters. We have not made any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of Petro-Canada or Suncor, nor have we been furnished with any such appraisals. Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof may affect this opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and we do not assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.

Senior management of Petro-Canada and Suncor respectively have each represented to us, in a certificate delivered as at the date hereof, amongst other things, that the information, data and other material (financial and otherwise) (the "Information") provided to us by or on behalf of Petro-Canada and Suncor was complete, true and correct at the date the Information was provided to us and that, since the date of the Information, there had been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of Petro-Canada, Suncor or any of their respective affiliates, and no material change has occurred in the Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on our opinion.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors of Suncor in connection with this transaction and will receive a fee for our services, a significant portion of which is contingent upon the closing of the Amalgamation. In the two years prior to the date hereof, we have provided financing services for Suncor and have received fees in connection with such services. Morgan Stanley may also seek to provide such services to

D-2-2



Suncor, Petro-Canada and Amalco in the future and expects to receive fees for the rendering of these services.

Please note that Morgan Stanley is a global financial services firm engaged in the securities, investment management and individual wealth management businesses. Our securities business is engaged in securities underwriting, trading and brokerage activities, foreign exchange, commodities and derivatives trading, prime brokerage, as well as providing investment banking, financing and financial advisory services.

This opinion has been approved by a committee of Morgan Stanley investment banking and other professionals in accordance with our customary practice. This opinion is for the use of the Board of Directors of Suncor and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent, except that a copy of this opinion may be included in its entirety in any filing Suncor is required to make with any Canadian or US securities regulatory agency in connection with this transaction. In addition, this opinion does not in any manner address the prices at which Amalco Common Shares, Petro-Canada Common Shares or Suncor Common Shares will trade at any time and Morgan Stanley expresses no opinion or recommendation as to how the shareholders of Suncor and Petro-Canada should vote at the shareholders' meetings to be held in connection with the Amalgamation or take any other actions in connection with the Amalgamation.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion on the date hereof that the Suncor Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Suncor Common Shares.

        Very truly yours,

Calgary, Alberta
T2P 3E3

To the Board:

        RBC Dominion Securities Inc. ("RBC"), a member company of RBC Capital Markets, understands that Petro-Canada (the "Company") and Suncor Energy Inc.

As a result of the Arrangement, holders ("Shareholders") of common shares of the Company ("Shares") will receive 1.28 (the "Exchange Ratio") common shares of Amalco ("Amalco Shares") for each Share held and holders ("Suncor Shareholders") of common shares of Suncor ("Suncor Shares") will receive one Amalco Share for each Suncor Share held. The terms of the Arrangement will be more fully described in a joint management information circular, which will be mailed to Shareholders and Suncor Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement.

        The Company has retained RBC to provide advice and assistance to the Company in evaluating the Arrangement, including the preparation and delivery to the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") of RBC's opinion as to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio under the Arrangement from a financial point of view to the Shareholders (the "Fairness Opinion"). RBC has not prepared a valuation of the Company, Suncor or any of their respective securities or assets and the Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such.

Engagement

        The Company initially contacted RBC regarding a potential advisory assignment in December of 2008, and RBC was formally engaged by the Board through an agreement between the Company and RBC (the "Engagement Agreement") dated December 11, 2008. The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide that RBC is to be paid a fee for its services as financial advisor, including fees that are contingent on a change of control of the Company or certain other events. In addition, RBC is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by the Company in certain circumstances. RBC consents to the inclusion of the Fairness Opinion in its entirety and a summary thereof in the Circular and to the filing thereof, as necessary, by the Company with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each province of Canada and in the United States.

        RBC acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have had and may in the future have positions in the securities of the Company, Suncor or any of their respective

E-1-1



associates or affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or clients for which it received or may receive compensation. As an investment dealer, RBC conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including with respect to the Company, Suncor or the Arrangement.

Credentials of RBC Capital Markets

        RBC is one of Canada's largest investment banking firms, with operations in all facets of corporate and government finance, corporate banking, mergers and acquisitions, equity and fixed income sales and trading and investment research. RBC Capital Markets also has significant operations in the United States and internationally.

        RBC has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by the Company to any information requested by RBC. As the auditors of the Company declined to permit RBC to rely upon information provided by them as part of a due diligence review, RBC did not meet with the auditors and has assumed the accuracy and fair presentation of and relied upon the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the reports of the auditors thereon.

Assumptions and Limitations

        With the Board's approval and as provided for in the Engagement Agreement, RBC has relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the financial and other information, data, advice, opinions or representations obtained by it from public sources, senior management of the Company and Suncor, and their respective consultants and advisors (collectively, the "Information"). The Fairness Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such Information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, we have not attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information.

        Senior officers of the Company have represented to RBC in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof, among other things, that (i) the information (financial or otherwise), data, documents, opinions, appraisals, valuations and other information and materials of whatsoever nature or kind respecting the Company, its subsidiaries and the Arrangement provided orally by, or in the presence of, an officer or employee of the Company or in writing by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective agents to RBC for the purpose of preparing the Fairness Opinion (the"Company Information") was, at the date the Company Information was provided to RBC, and is complete, true and correct in all material respects, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact in respect of the Company, its subsidiaries or the Arrangement and did not and does not omit to state a material fact in respect of the Company, its subsidiaries or the Arrangement necessary to make the Company Information or any statement contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which the Company Information was made or provided or any

E-1-3



statement was made; and that (ii) since the dates on which the Company Information was provided to RBC, except as disclosed in writing to RBC, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and no material change has occurred in the Company Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Fairness Opinion.

        In addition to the certificate noted above, senior officers of Suncor have represented to RBC in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof, among other things, that (i) the information (financial or otherwise), data, documents, opinions, appraisals, valuations and other material respecting Suncor and its subsidiaries provided orally by, or in the presence of, an officer or employee of Suncor or in writing by Suncor or any of its subsidiaries or their respective agents to RBC for the purpose of preparing the Fairness Opinion (the "Suncor Information") was, at the date the Suncor Information was provided to RBC, and is complete, true and correct in all material respects, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact in respect of Suncor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Arrangement and did not and does not omit to state a material fact in respect of Suncor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Arrangement necessary to make the Suncor Information or any statement contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which the Suncor Information was made or provided or any statement was made; and that (ii) since the dates on which the Suncor Information was provided to RBC, except as disclosed in writing to RBC, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of Suncor or any of its subsidiaries and no material change has occurred in the Suncor Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Fairness Opinion.

        In preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC has made several assumptions, including that all of the conditions required to implement the Arrangement will be met.

        The Fairness Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Company, Suncor and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the Information and as they have been represented to RBC in discussions with management of the Company and Suncor. In its analyses and in preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RBC or any party involved in the Arrangement.

        The Fairness Opinion has been provided for the use of the Board and may not be used by any other person or relied upon by any other person other than the Board without the express prior written consent of RBC. The Fairness Opinion is given as of the date hereof and RBC disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion which may come or be brought to RBC's attention after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion after the date hereof, RBC reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Fairness Opinion.

        RBC believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the Fairness Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. The Fairness Opinion is not to be construed as a recommendation to any Shareholder as to whether to vote in favour of the Arrangement.

Fairness Analysis

    Approach to Fairness

        In considering the fairness of the Exchange Ratio from a financial point of view to the Shareholders, RBC, among other analyses, (i) compared the relative contribution of EBITDA, cash flow, earnings, net asset value, production and reserves by the Company and Suncor to the pro forma relative ownership of Amalco Shares by the Shareholders and the Suncor Shareholders assuming the Arrangement is completed; (ii) compared the

E-1-4


implied value of the consideration to be received by the Shareholders based on the Exchange Ratio to results of a net asset value analysis of the Company; (iii) compared selected financial multiples, to the extent publicly available, of selected precedent transactions to the multiples implied by the Exchange Ratio; and (iv) compared the implied value of the consideration to be received by the Shareholders based on the Exchange Ratio to the recent market trading values of the Shares.

    Fairness Conclusion

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, RBC is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio is fair from a financial point of view to the Shareholders.

Yours very truly,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. ("Deutsche Bank") understands that Petro-Canada (the "Company") is proposing to enter into an arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with Suncor Energy Inc. ("Suncor") dated March 22, 2009 and pursuant to which, among other things, the Company and Suncor would be amalgamated and continue as one corporation ("Amalco") pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement") effected under the Canada Business Corporations Act. As a result of the transaction (the "Transaction") contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, and as set forth more fully in the Plan of Arrangement, (i) each common share in the capital of the Company (the "Company Common Shares"), other than Company Common Shares in respect of which rights of dissent have been validly exercised and that remain valid immediately before the effective time of the Plan of Arrangement and Company Common Shares held by Suncor, would be converted into common shares of Amalco on a 1: 1.2800 basis (the "Exchange Ratio"), and (ii) each common share in the capital of Suncor, other than those in respect of which rights of dissent have been validly exercised and that remain valid immediately before the effective time of the Plan of Arrangement, would be converted into common shares of Amalco on a 1:1 basis.

Deutsche Bank has acted as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Transaction and, in connection with that engagement, you have requested our opinion as to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio, from a financial point of view, to the holders (other than Suncor and holders of Company Common Shares in respect of which rights of dissent have been validly exercised and that remain valid immediately before the effective time of the Plan of Arrangement, those other holders being the "Holders") of the outstanding Company Common Shares.

In connection with our role as a financial advisor to the Company, and in arriving at our opinion, we reviewed certain publicly available financial and other information concerning the Company and Suncor, certain internal analyses, financial forecasts and other information relating to the Company, Suncor and Amalco prepared by or under the direction of management of the Company and/or Suncor. We have also held discussions with certain senior officers and other representatives and advisors of the Company and Suncor regarding, among other things, the businesses and prospects of the Company and Suncor, respectively, and of Amalco after giving effect to the Transaction, and have received certificates of senior officers of the Company and Suncor as to certain matters. In addition, Deutsche Bank has (i) reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for the Company Common Shares and common shares in the capital of Suncor, (ii) to the extent publicly available, compared certain financial and stock market information for the Company and Suncor with similar information for certain other companies we considered relevant whose securities are publicly traded, (iii) to the extent publicly available, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations we considered relevant, (iv) reviewed a draft dated March 21, 2009 of the Arrangement Agreement (including the Plan of Arrangement) proposed to be executed by the parties (the "Form of Arrangement Agreement") and drafts provided to us on March 21, 2009 of the disclosure in writing contemplated by the Form of Arrangement Agreement proposed to be delivered by the parties, and (v) performed such other studies and analyses and considered such other factors as we considered appropriate.

Deutsche Bank has not assumed responsibility for independent verification of, and has not independently verified, any information, financial or otherwise, whether publicly available or furnished to it (including, without limitation, information concerning the Company, Suncor or Amalco) considered in connection with the rendering of its opinion. Deutsche Bank has not met with the auditors of any of the Company, Suncor or their respective subsidiaries. Accordingly, for purposes of its opinion, Deutsche Bank has, with your permission, assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness (and, in the context of financial statements, fair presentation) of all such information and has not conducted a physical inspection of any of the properties or assets, and has not prepared or obtained any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities), of the Company or Suncor or any of their respective subsidiaries. Nor have we evaluated the solvency or fair value of the Company, Suncor or Amalco under any provincial or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. With respect to financial forecasts and projections, including, without limitation analyses and forecasts of the amount and timing of certain cost savings, operating efficiencies, capital expenditure efficiencies, revenue effects, financial synergies and other strategic benefits projected by the Company and by Suncor to be achieved as a result of the Transaction (collectively, the "Synergies"), made available to Deutsche Bank or prepared under the direction of the Company and that have been discussed with the Company and been used in Deutsche Bank's analyses, Deutsche Bank has assumed, with your permission, that they reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the matters covered thereby. In rendering its opinion, Deutsche Bank expresses no view as to the reasonableness of such forecasts, projections and information, including, without limitation, the Synergies or the assumptions on which they are based. Deutsche Bank's opinion is necessarily based upon economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date hereof.

For purposes of rendering its opinion, Deutsche Bank has assumed, with your permission, that, in all respects material to its analysis, the representations and warranties of the Company and Suncor in the Form of Arrangement Agreement are true and correct, the Company and Suncor each will perform all of its covenants and agreements as contemplated by the Form of Arrangement Agreement, and the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with its terms and otherwise as provided in the Form of Arrangement Agreement, without any material waiver, modification or amendment of any term, condition or agreement. Deutsche Bank has also assumed, with your permission, that all material governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required in connection with the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without undue delay and that in connection with obtaining any necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers to any agreements, instruments or orders to which the Company, Suncor or their subsidiaries are a party, to which they are subject or by which they are bound, no limitations, restrictions or conditions will be imposed or amendments, modifications or waivers made that would materially reduce the contemplated benefits of the Transaction to Amalco or the Holders of the Company Common Shares. We are not legal, regulatory, tax or accounting experts and have relied on the assessments made by the Company and its advisors with respect to such issues. In that context, among other things, Deutsche Bank has been advised and has assumed, with your permission, for the purposes of rendering its opinion that the Transaction will be tax-free to each of the Company, Suncor, Amalco and the Holders of the Company Common Shares. Representatives of the Company have informed us, and we have further assumed, with your permission, that the final terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the disclosure in writing contemplated by the Form of Arrangement Agreement will not differ materially from the terms set forth in the Form of Arrangement Agreement and the disclosure in writing contemplated by the Form of Arrangement Agreement we have reviewed.

This opinion has been approved and authorized for issuance by a fairness opinion review committee, is addressed to, and for the use and benefit of, the Board of Directors of the Company and is not a recommendation to the holders of Company Common Shares to approve the Transaction. This opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view of the Exchange Ratio to the Holders of the Company Common Shares, is subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other conditions contained herein and is necessarily based on the economic, market and other conditions, and information made available to us, as of the date of hereof. You have not asked us to, and this opinion does not, address the fairness of the Transaction, or any consideration received in connection therewith, to the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company, nor does it address the fairness of the contemplated benefits of the

E-2-2



Transaction. This opinion is not, and should not be construed as, advice as to the price at which the Company Common Shares or the common shares of Amalco may trade following the announcement or consummation of the Transaction. We expressly disclaim any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting our opinion of which we become aware after the date hereof. Deutsche Bank expresses no opinion as to the merits of the underlying decision by the Company to engage in the Transaction or as to how any holder of Company Common Shares should vote with respect to the Transaction. In addition, we do not express any view or opinion as to the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount or nature of any compensation or other amounts payable to or to be received by, any of the officers, directors, or employees of any of the parties to the Transaction, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be received by the Holders of Company Common Shares in exchange for those shares.

We were not requested to, and we did not, solicit third party indications of interest in the possible acquisition of all or part of the Company, nor were we requested to consider, and our opinion does not address, the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies.

Deutsche Bank will be paid a fee for its services as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Transaction, a portion of which is payable upon delivery of this opinion and more substantial portions of which are payable upon the announcement and upon the consummation of the Transaction. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Deutsche Bank for its expenses, and to indemnify Deutsche Bank against certain liabilities, in connection with its engagement. We are an affiliate of Deutsche Bank AG (together with its affiliates, the "DB Group"). One or more members of the DB Group have, from time to time, provided investment banking, commercial banking (including extension of credit) and other financial services to Suncor and the Company or their respective affiliates for which it has received compensation. The DB Group has had, and continues to maintain, relationships with both Suncor and the Company independent of the Transaction. The DB Group is a lender in the Company's revolving credit facility and in Suncor's revolving credit facility. In 2008, the DB Group acted as co-manager of a two-tranche offering by Suncor totaling US$2 billion of senior unsecured notes. In 2007, the DB Group acted as joint bookrunner on an offering and co-manager on a subsequent add-on offering by Suncor totaling US$1.15 billion of senior unsecured notes. The DB Group also provides the Company and Suncor with certain services relating to commodities and trade finance. The DB Group may also provide investment and commercial banking services to Suncor, the Company and/or Amalco in the future (and in certain circumstances has a right to provide such services to the Company), for which we would expect the DB Group to receive compensation. In the ordinary course of business, members of the DB Group may actively trade in the securities and other instruments and obligations of Suncor and the Company for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers. Accordingly, the DB Group may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities, instruments and obligations. Members of the DB Group conduct research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of business, provide research reports and investment advice on investment matters, including with respect to the Company, Suncor or and the Transaction.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is Deutsche Bank's opinion as investment bankers that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Holders of the Company Common Shares.

    Very truly yours,

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    Suncor Energy Inc. ("Suncor") and Petro-Canada entered into an arrangement agreement dated March 22, 2009. Pursuant to the arrangement agreement and the accompanying plan of arrangement, Suncor and Petro-Canada will amalgamate and continue as Suncor Energy Inc. ("Amalco"). In accordance with the arrangement, each Suncor shareholder will receive one common share of Amalco for each Suncor Common Share and each Petro-Canada shareholder will receive 1.28 common shares of Amalco for each Petro-Canada Common Share. Immediately following completion of the arrangement, former Suncor shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 60% of Amalco and former Petro-Canada shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 40% of Amalco.

    The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared for inclusion in the Joint Information Circular concerning the arrangement of Suncor and Petro-Canada.

    The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared from:

    a)
    Suncor's interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2009;

    b)
    Petro-Canada's interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2009;

    c)
    Suncor's audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2008; and

    d)
    Petro-Canada's audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.

    In the opinion of management of both Suncor and Petro-Canada, the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the transaction described above as if it had occurred on March 31, 2009. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings give effect to the transaction as if it occurred on January 1, 2008.

    The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements may not be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the events reflected therein had been in effect on the dates indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future.

    The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Suncor and Petro-Canada incorporated by reference in the Joint Information Circular.

2.     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis that Amalco will account for the transaction as a purchase of Petro-Canada using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Petro-Canada will be recorded at their estimated fair value.

    For the purposes of the preparation of these Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements the provisions of Section 1581 of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook have been used. At the time this transaction is completed, Amalco will have the option to use the new business combinations standard (CICA Handbook Section 1582) to account for the transaction. Should the new standard be adopted, there may be material differences in the amounts recorded in accounting for the transaction versus what would be recorded under CICA Handbook Section 1581.

3.     PRO FORMA ACCOUNTING AND PRESENTATION ADJUSTMENTS

    The following adjustments have been made to present the financial statements of Suncor and Petro-Canada on a consistent basis.

    a)
    Capitalized interest

      Suncor and Petro-Canada prepare their consolidated financial statements using similar accounting policies, with one exception. Suncor capitalizes interest on borrowings that are related to major capital projects in progress and to the portion of non-producing oil and gas properties expected to become producing. Petro-Canada follows a similar interest capitalization approach, but uses a different methodology. Petro-Canada's interest capitalization has been restated to reflect Suncor's methodology. In addition, as a result of the combination of the two entities, additional interest incurred by Petro-Canada would qualify for capitalization.

    b)
    Financial Statement Presentation

      Certain reclassification adjustments have been made to the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements to make the financial statement presentation consistent between Suncor and Petro-Canada.

The above purchase price has been allocated based on management's preliminary estimates of fair values as follows:

       
   

Current assets

    5,226  
   

Property, plant and equipment

    28,026  
   

Goodwill

    1,480

Total liabilities

    16,215  
               
 

Net assets purchased

    19,125  
               

      The value of Amalco Common Shares issued of $18,862 million is comprised of 620.6 million Amalco Common Shares based on the exchange ratio of 1.28 Amalco Common Shares for each Petro-Canada Common Share. The number of issued and outstanding Petro-Canada Common Shares on the date of the transaction has been estimated to be 484.9 million. This assumes that none of the outstanding options to purchase Petro-Canada Common Shares are exercised prior to the date of the transaction.

      The number of issued and outstanding options to purchase Petro-Canada Common Shares on the date of the transaction has been estimated to be 5.9 million. The fair value of these options at March 31, 2009 has been included in the preliminary calculation of the purchase price. This fair value was calculated to be $93 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

      The preliminary purchase price includes the value of the Amalco Common Shares to be issued to the Petro-Canada shareholders plus estimated transaction costs of $170 million, which include investment advisor fees, legal and accounting fees, printing and mailing costs and other transaction related costs. These costs have been added to accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet.

    b)
    Depreciation, depletion and amortization have been adjusted to reflect depreciation on the preliminary fair value adjustments allocated to property, plant and equipment.

    To adjust financing expenses for the additional interest expense resulting from the fair value adjustment to Petro-Canada's debt.

    d)
    Transactions and balances between Suncor and Petro-Canada have been eliminated in the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements.

    e)
    Provision for income taxes has been adjusted for the impact of the items noted above that affect net earnings. As a result of the transaction described in Note 1, there has been a reclassification from future income tax liability to current income taxes payable.

    No adjustment has been made to reflect operating synergies that may be realized as a result of the transaction.

    The calculation and purchase price allocation is preliminary and will change as a result of several factors, including:

      i)
      changes in the fair values of Petro-Canada's assets and liabilities between March 31, 2009 and the closing of the transaction;

      ii)
      actual number of Petro-Canada Common Shares and options at the closing of the transaction; and

      iii)
      actual transaction costs incurred.

    The impact of these factors will not be known until the completion of the transaction.

5.     GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

    The preliminary purchase price allocation includes $1,480 million of goodwill. In accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill is not amortized into income.

    The preliminary purchase price allocation also includes $300 million of intangible assets. The intangible assets largely have been determined to have an indefinite life. As a result, these assets have not been amortized in the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements.

    Goodwill and intangible assets will be subject to an annual impairment review and should there be an impairment, that amount would be charged to income.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

        The following is a glossary of certain terms used in this Appendix H.

"Board of Directors" or "Board" means the board of directors of Suncor as it may be comprised from time to time, and references to any "committee" in this Appendix H shall mean a committee of the Board of Directors;

"common shares" means the common shares in the capital of Suncor;

"meeting" means the annual and special meeting of Suncor shareholders to be held to consider the Suncor business described in this Information Circular (including this Appendix H), and any adjournment(s) thereof;

"shareholder" means a holder of common shares of Suncor; and

H-1




ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING BUSINESS

Financial Statements

        Suncor's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 are included in the 2008 Annual Report.

Election of Directors

        Suncor's articles of incorporation stipulate there shall be not more than 15 or fewer than eight directors. There are currently 11 directors. In accordance with our by-laws, the Board of Directors has determined that 11 directors will be elected at the meeting.

        Management will propose at the meeting that the 11 nominees named on pages H-3 to H-5 be elected directors. The term of office of each director is from the date of the meeting at which he or she is elected or appointed until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until a successor is elected or appointed.

        Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named in the accompanying Form of Proxy intend to vote FOR the election of the nominees whose names appear on pages H-3 to H-5.

        Management does not expect that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director but, if that should occur for any reason prior to the meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy form reserve the right to vote for another nominee at their discretion unless the proxy specifies the common shares are to be withheld from voting in the election of directors.

Majority Voting for Directors

        The Board of Directors has adopted a policy which requires that any nominee for director who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" than votes "for" his or her election as a director shall submit his or her resignation to the Governance Committee for consideration promptly following the meeting. This policy applies only to uncontested elections, meaning elections where the number of nominees for director is equal to the number of directors to be elected. The Governance Committee shall consider the resignation and shall recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept it. The Board of Directors will consider the recommendation of the Governance Committee and determine whether to accept it within 90 days of the applicable meeting and a news release will be issued by Suncor announcing the Board of Directors' determination. A director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in any meetings to consider whether the resignation shall be accepted.

        Shareholders should note that, as a result of the majority voting policy, a "withhold" vote is effectively the same as a vote against a director nominee in an uncontested election.

(1)
Amounts reflect aggregate value of fees paid in DSUs or combination of DSUs and cash.

(2)
Eligible Board members also receive an annual grant of DSUs under the Suncor Directors' Deferred Share Unit Plan and stock options under the Executive Stock Plan. See "Director Equity Compensation" below for more information.

(3)
Director fees for services include: $4,000 for committee members, $6,000 for audit committee members; $7,000 for committee chairs, $15,000 for audit committee chair; $1,500 for each Board or committee meeting attended and $1,500 for long distance travel to attend meetings. Director compensation is reviewed annually by the Board. As a result of the review of directors' compensation undertaken in July 2008, the Board is satisfied that the current arrangements remain competitive.

H-9


Director Equity Compensation

        Deferred Share Units    Directors who are not Suncor employees ("non-employee directors") participate in a Directors' Deferred Share Unit Plan (the "DSU Plan"). Under the DSU Plan, each non-employee director receives an annual grant of deferred share units ("DSUs") as part of their total compensation. In 2008 the annual grant for each non-employee director, other than the chairman of the Board, was 2,000 DSUs. The chairman received 3,000 DSUs. The compensation plan also provides for an additional initial grant of 2,000 DSUs to each new director upon their election to the Board.

        Until Director Share Ownership Guidelines (see page H-12 for details) are met, non-employee directors receive one-half, or if they choose, all of their fees (excluding expense reimbursements) in the form of DSUs. The number of DSUs to be credited to the non-employee director's account on each payment date is equal to the number of common shares that could have been purchased on the payment date with the amount of compensation allocated to the DSU Plan. On each dividend payment date for common shares, an additional number of DSUs are credited to the non-employee directors' DSU accounts, equivalent to the number of common shares that could have been acquired on that date by notional dividend reinvestment.

        DSUs will be paid in cash when the director ceases to hold office as a director or on a date elected by that director prior to December of the year following cessation of directorship. For directors subject to payment of U.S. federal tax, the redemption period to elect payout of DSUs starts on the first day of the first calendar year following the year in which the DSU Plan participant ceased to be a director and ends on November 30 of that same year. The cash payment is calculated by multiplying the number of DSUs by the then-current market value of a common share. In 2008, non-employee directors received an aggregate total of 40,902 DSUs. The number of DSUs held individually by the non-employee directors is set out in the Aggregate Equity Holdings of Non-Employee Directors table on page H-12.

        Stock Options    Suncor's Executive Stock Plan ("ESP"), described in more detail under the heading, "Summary of Equity Compensation Plans" on page H-27, provides for the automatic grant of options to purchase common shares and awards of Limited Appreciation Rights ("LARs") to non-employee directors. Under the ESP, each non-employee director receives an annual grant of options to purchase common shares. In 2008, each non-employee director was granted 4,000 options, while the chairman received a grant of 6,000 options. The compensation plan also provides for an initial grant to each new director of 4,000 options to purchase common shares upon their election to the Board. In 2008, directors received a total of 42,000 options. The number of options held individually by the directors is set out in the Aggregate Equity Holdings of Non-Employee Directors table on page H-12.

        Options are granted at an exercise price equal to the market price of the common shares at the time of the grant, expire 10 years from the date of grant and vest over a three-year period. All options granted to non-employee directors have an equivalent number of LARs attached to them. The terms of the LARs are described under the heading "Termination Contracts and Change of Control Arrangements" on page H-25.

        The ESP includes provisions that allow for the exercise of a non-employee director's options for a limited period of time after the date the option holder ceases to be a director of Suncor. However, all LARs held by a non-employee director immediately terminate upon leaving the Board.

        The ESP also provides an alternative, on activation by the Board, for the payment of a fixed percentage of directors' annual retainers in common shares. As of the date hereof, these provisions have not been activated.

Director Share Ownership Guidelines

        The Board of Directors has established share ownership guidelines for non-employee directors which must be attained within five years of their appointment to the Board. Current guidelines are based on a target of three times the market median compensation for directors of large Canadian energy companies. For 2008, the Board established that each director should own Suncor common shares and/or DSUs with a market value of $540,000. As of the date of this Information Circular, all directors were in compliance with the share ownership guidelines.


COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Human Resources and Compensation Committee

        During 2008, Mel Benson, Bryan Davies, John Ferguson, John Huff and Ann McCaig served as members of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the "HR&CC"). Mr. Davies served as chairman. All members of the HR&CC are independent directors. Responsibilities included in the HR&CC's mandate are to:

    review Suncor's overall corporate goals and objectives and ensure they are supported by appropriate executive compensation philosophy and programs;

H-12


    annually evaluate the performance of the chief executive officer ("CEO") against predetermined goals and criteria, and recommend to the Board the total compensation for the CEO;

    annually review and provide input to the CEO's recommendations for compensation of the executives that report directly to the CEO;

    review the succession planning process and results of the process as it relates to executive roles;

    review, and approve as appropriate, any significant compensation and benefit programs for all employees; and

    review and recommend to the Board the compensation provided to the Board of Directors and ensure its competitiveness.

        The HR&CC retains an independent executive compensation consultant to help discharge its mandate. During 2008, the HR&CC engaged Towers Perrin to provide:

    expertise and advice in the development of compensation policies and programs for executives and directors;

    periodic updates to the HR&CC on best practices, trends and emerging regulatory or governance matters related to executive and director compensation; and

    custom survey work benchmarking Suncor compensation in the marketplace.

        The decisions made by the HR&CC are the responsibility of that committee and may reflect factors and considerations other than the information and recommendations made by Towers Perrin. During 2008, Towers Perrin met with the committee chair and attended relevant sections of HR&CC meetings, as necessary. Fees paid by Suncor in 2008 for Towers Perrin's services as executive compensation consultant to the HR&CC were $154,933.

        The HR&CC has ensured that Towers Perrin, as their executive compensation consultant, has a clear reporting relationship to the committee and is able to provide advice to the committee independent of the firm's other relationship with management. The HR&CC has the final authority to hire and terminate the consultant. Towers Perrin also provides actuarial, pension and benefits advice and services to Suncor. Fees paid by Suncor in 2008 for Towers Perrin's services in this regard were $277,546.

Executive Compensation

        Suncor's executive total direct compensation program is comprised of the following components: base salary, annual incentive and mid- and long-term incentives. Together, these components support our long-term growth strategy and the following objectives:

    to align executive compensation with shareholders' interests;

    to attract and retain highly qualified management;

    to focus performance by linking incentive compensation to the achievement of business objectives and financial results; and

    to encourage retention of key executives for leadership succession.

        Compensation programs at Suncor are designed to pay for performance. Employees, including senior executives, are rewarded for the achievement of annual operating and financial goals, progress in executing Suncor's long-term growth strategy and delivering strong total shareholder return performance versus our peers.

        Suncor compares its executive compensation to the compensation provided by a comparator group of Canadian oil and gas companies and trusts for executives in comparable positions. These companies and trusts compete with Suncor for executive talent, operate in a similar business environment and are of similar size,

H-13



scope and complexity. Suncor's compensation guidelines incorporate market data compiled through industry and general compensation surveys conducted by independent compensation consultants of pay practices and trends.

        The companies and trusts included in Suncor's executive compensation primary market comparator group are:

Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.   Canadian Oil Sands Trust
Devon Canada Corporation   Enbridge Inc.
EnCana Corp.   Husky Energy Inc.
Imperial Oil Ltd.   Nexen Inc.
Petro-Canada   Syncrude Canada Ltd.
Talisman Energy Inc.   TransCanada Corp.

        Suncor also considers data from secondary market reviews conducted by independent compensation consultants which compare our compensation levels to those of large Canadian general industry companies and selected energy companies based in the United States.

        Suncor's total compensation mix places a significant portion of the executive's compensation at risk. The design takes into account individual, business unit and corporate performance. Compensation practices, including the mix of base salary, short-term incentives, mid- and long-term incentives, are regularly assessed to ensure they are competitive, take account of the external market trends, and support Suncor's long-term growth strategies.

        For our executive officers, including the executives listed in the Summary Compensation Table (the "Named Executive Officers"), base salary is targeted at the median of the market, and annual total direct compensation (including the annual incentive program and annual long-term incentive grants) is targeted at the 65th percentile.

        Suncor has, with shareholder approval, provided an additional performance based long-term incentive program to drive achievement of extraordinary results. These programs focus on reinforcing and rewarding performance over a five to six year period and, combined with other elements of compensation, provide the opportunity to earn top quartile pay when superior results are achieved. Our current program, the SunShare 2012 Plan (defined below), is designed to reward employees over the term of the plan if there is an increase of approximately 60% in Suncor's common share price and total shareholder return in the top quartile of a peer group of energy companies.

Executive Compensation Components

        Base salary.    Salary is compensation for discharging job responsibilities and reflects the level of skills and capabilities demonstrated by the executive. Annual salary adjustments take into account the market value of the role and the executive's demonstration of capability during the year.

        Annual incentive plan.    Our Management Incentive Plan ("MIP") provides executive officers and other senior management with the opportunity to earn annual incentive awards based on the achievement of pre-established annual corporate, business unit and individual performance objectives. Awards for the business unit executives are based on a combination of the performance of the executive's business unit, corporate performance and the executive's performance against their personal goals. Awards for corporate executives are based on Suncor's overall corporate performance and the executive's performance against their personal goals. Suncor's annual incentive plan is designed such that senior executives have a higher portion of their incentive linked to overall corporate results versus their individual business unit results.

        Mid- and long-term incentives.    Our executive officers and other senior management participate in the following mid- and long-term incentive programs:

    (i)
    Executive Stock Plan ("ESP") — provides for annual option grants;

H-14


    (ii)
    Performance Share Unit Plan ("PSU Plan") — provides for annual performance share unit ("PSU") grants;

    (iii)
    Restricted Share Unit Plan ("RSU Plan") — provides for annual restricted share unit ("RSU") grants;

    (iv)
    SunShare 2012 Performance Share Option Plan ("SunShare 2012 Plan") — provides for a one-time grant of options on September 28, 2007 and subsequent grants on promotion. Restricted Share Units were also granted under this plan on January 1, 2008 and may be granted on January 1, 2010.

        See "Summary of Equity Compensation Plans" on pages H-27 to H-32 for a detailed description of these plans. For details of these grants to the Named Executive Officers, see "Aggregate Outstanding Share-Based Awards and Option-Based Awards" on page H-22 and Schedule B.

Other Compensation

        Suncor provides pension, benefits and perquisites as part of a competitive compensation package. Suncor also provides a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") to our Named Executive Officers which supports retention. The SERP is described under "Retirement Arrangements" on page H-23.

Executive Share Ownership Guidelines

        Suncor's executive share ownership guidelines require common share holdings with an aggregate value of four times base salary for the chief executive officer, three times base salary for the chief operating officer, two times base salary for executive and senior vice presidents, and one times base salary for other vice presidents. The guidelines are designed to ensure the executives build equity in Suncor and are to be achieved within five years after appointment to an executive position. Common shares and DSUs count toward fulfillment of the guidelines. As of the date of this Information Circular, all but two of the Named Executive Officers are in compliance with the guidelines. It is the Board's expectation that all Named Executive Officers will be in compliance with the guidelines in 2009.

2009 Compensation

        Compensation arrangements for executives are reviewed annually by the Board. Current economic and market conditions have prompted changes to Suncor's 2009 compensation programs.

        We have frozen discretionary salary increases for all employees. Plans are in place to review this measure when market conditions improve.

        Suncor has reduced overall equity compensation levels for executives and senior managers from 2008 levels. In 2009, option grants have been held at 2008 target levels. PSU grants continue to reflect one-half of the overall economic value of the long-term incentive package and RSUs have been introduced. For the Named Executive Officers, the total economic value is significantly less than in 2008.

        Effective January 27, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the grant of options, PSUs, RSUs and LARs to the Named Executive Officers and certain other eligible employees under the terms of the ESP, the PSU Plan and the RSU Plan. The exercise price of the options is $24.50 per share, based on the market price of Suncor common shares on the date prior to the grant date. Each option granted to the executive officers, including the

H-15



Named Executive Officers, was awarded with an equivalent LAR. The table below outlines the awards made to the Named Executive Officers effective January 27, 2009.

Compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer

        The annual performance evaluation of the president and chief executive officer is led by the chairman of the Board. His performance assessment includes formal written evaluations by each independent Board member of performance against key strategic and organizational objectives, as well as the president and chief executive officer's self-assessment against a set of agreed-upon personal goals.

        The performance evaluation by the Board of Directors focuses on the following key areas:

    Financial and operating results achieved during 2008;

    Strategic planning to support future shareholder value;

    Leadership on industry, policy, social and environmental issues (within Suncor and the North American business community);

    Management of talent and future leadership development;

    Effective relationship with the Board of Directors.

        Following the Board's evaluation of the president and chief executive officer, the HR&CC develops the compensation recommendation for review and approval by the full Board of Directors.

2008 Chief Executive Officer Performance

        The Board evaluated Mr. George's performance for 2008 as "strong". The following is a summary of Mr. George's achievements in each of the key performance areas listed above for 2008.

        Financial and operating results achieved during 2008.    In 2008, Suncor generated net earnings of $2.137 billion and cash flow from operations of $4.463 billion. An overall return on capital employed ("ROCE") of 21.1% was achieved (excluding major projects in progress)(1). Although these measures rank among Suncor's top three historical annual results, Suncor operational performance fell short of expectations.

        Through a very volatile period, Mr. George provided strong leadership, steering Suncor through operational challenges and unstable markets. Suncor benefited from high commodity prices through the first

three quarters, offsetting financial impacts of unplanned maintenance activities at oil sands that affected Suncor's ability to meet production targets. A 53% drop in average benchmark crude oil prices from US$126.00 in the second quarter of 2008 to US$58.75 in the fourth quarter of 2008 substantially impacted results for the fourth quarter and full year.

        At year end, net debt was $7.2 billion, remaining within a conservative two-times cash flow ratio. During the first part of the year when commodity prices were higher, Suncor entered into crude oil hedges for a portion of 2009 planned production, providing a degree of protection from volatile markets through this period.

        Oil sands production was initially targeted at 275,000 to 300,000 bpd, with a corresponding cash operating cost of $25 to $27 per barrel. As noted, unscheduled maintenance contributed to lower than targeted annual production of 228,000 bpd, and corresponding cash operating costs of $38.50 per barrel.

        Natural gas production of 220 mmcf equivalent per day marginally exceeded initial targets of 205 to 215 mmcf equivalent per day in 2008.

        The Board's assessment of operating results also included a review of progress during the year on growth and sustaining projects. Despite the challenges created by significant shortages and inflationary impacts on labour, supplies and materials, Suncor's workforce and supply chain strategies helped Suncor complete a $2.3 billion capacity expansion to its upgrading operations on schedule and on budget. In addition, the successful completion of scheduled preventative maintenance work is expected to contribute to higher and more reliable production in 2009.

        To address reliability issues and position Suncor for improved performance, Mr. George worked with the Chief Operating Officer in developing and advancing strategies focused on operational excellence, with specific goals to improve reliability, workforce processes, personal and process safety and environmental performance.

        While Suncor is among the energy industry's top safety performers, Mr. George and Suncor's management oversaw strategies to make continued advances in process safety management, reorganizing the corporate EHS organization and retaining third party experts to assess current practice and process improvements.

        On environmental performance, Mr. George led Suncor through several improvements in 2008, including those related to emissions reductions at oil sands facilities which led to the removal of a production cap at the Firebag in-situ operations in mid-2008.

        Strategic planning to support future shareholder value.    The Board's review of Mr. George's 2008 performance recognized the progress made on significant strategic and operational initiatives, which are expected to support long-term shareholder value. Growth capital of approximately $7.6 billion was invested Suncor-wide during 2008 to advance a number of projects aimed at increasing crude oil production and sales. These milestones supported Suncor's 2008 Voyageur growth strategy of increasing production design capacity to 550,000 bpd.

        Suncor made considerable progress on both Firebag Stage 3 and the Voyageur upgrader in 2008. At year end, construction of these projects was approximately 50% and 15% complete, respectively. However, in light of economic uncertainties, in early 2009 Suncor deferred capital spending on these and other growth projects and began to safely wind down work, with facilities prepared to restart construction when economic conditions are appropriate. While critical to maintaining a sound financial foundation and shareholder confidence, reductions to capital spending will impact growth plans in the near term.

        As part of growth planning, Suncor continued to develop technologies to reduce the environmental impact of energy development. This includes piloting lower emission mining and extraction technologies, accelerated reclamation techniques, and investigating cellulosic ethanol production and carbon capture and sequestration.

        Leadership on policy, social and environmental issues.    Early in 2008, Suncor reached an agreement with the Province of Alberta on royalty rates to be paid by Suncor for its mined bitumen through to 2016. This agreement provides a greater degree of certainty regarding future payments over a variety of commodity price scenarios. The timely and thorough response to negotiations, led by Mr. George, provided strong support to Suncor's reputation as a company whose role in resource development supports the public interest.

H-17


        In leadership roles outside Suncor in 2008, Mr. George chaired a committee of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives that recommended steps that business and governments can take to address the issue of climate change. He also served on a Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers CEO task group providing leadership and direction on improving the industry's engagement with policy-makers, non-governmental advocates and the Canadian public on social and environmental issues related to oil sands development. He was co-chair of the Calgary Committee to End Homelessness, is an active participant of the North American Competitiveness Council, and served as chair of the 2008 Governor General's Leadership Conference.

        Talent Management.    Suncor conducts a thorough review of its leadership on an annual basis to ensure a deep succession pool with bench strength for key roles. Suncor's focus on leadership development has resulted in a number of executive rotational assignments. Suncor University continues to develop our executive and manager level leadership with a goal of continuously improving management performance.

        Effective relationship with the Board of Directors.    As stewards of shareholder interests, the independent members of the Board of Directors must have a close working relationship with executive leadership. Mr. George has kept the Board fully and transparently informed on issues of financial, operational and strategic importance and has ensured that senior executives and technical experts are also available to the Board.

2008 Compensation

        Suncor's compensation structure for Mr. George places a significant amount of his pay at risk. Based on actual payments in 2008, base salary comprised 16% of Mr. George's total direct compensation. His annual performance-based incentive payment contributed an additional 12%, and his mid- and long-term incentives, the majority of which are performance-based, contributed the remaining 72% (all percentages are approximate).

        The president and chief executive officer's annual incentive target is 90% of his base salary. Actual payout is determined by Suncor's financial and operational performance, and for 2008 is weighted 15% on Suncor's cash flow from operations and 85% on the weighted average of the business unit scores against performance targets approved by the Board of Directors (safety, production, cost, profitability and operational performance).

        Based on the Board's evaluation of the president and chief executive officer's performance for the year, an overall personal performance factor is established. The incentive payment amount determined for the president and chief executive officer is based on Suncor's overall performance multiplied by the personal performance factor. The president and chief executive officer's annual incentive can range from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 270% of base salary. For specific details on Mr. George's compensation for 2008, see the "Summary Compensation Table" on page H-21.

Long-Term Shareholder Value and Executive Compensation

        At Suncor's annual and special meeting held in April 2008, Suncor shareholders approved a split of Suncor's common shares on a two-for-one basis, and the shares began trading at the split-adjusted price in May on both the Toronto and New York stock exchanges. Suncor's common shares closed at $23.72 on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on December 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately 56% on a split-adjusted basis over the year before, reflecting to a degree the general decline in global equity markets and, more specifically, the decline in benchmark commodity prices of Suncor's key products.

H-18


        While Suncor's share price value decreased in 2008, the Board recognizes that in an industry subject to commodity price cycles, Suncor's focus is on long-term shareholder value growth. From 2003 to 2008, Suncor's share price increased by nearly 46%. The following performance graph shows Suncor's total cumulative shareholder return for the past five years.

Performance graph(1)(2)
($)

GRAPHIC


(1)
The graph reflects the total cumulative return, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends, of $100 invested on December 31, 2003 in each of Suncor Energy Inc. common shares, the S&P/TSX Composite (TRIV) Index and the S&P/TSX Composite Energy (TRIV) Index.

(2)
The year-end values of each investment shown on the graph are based on share price appreciation plus dividend reinvestment.

        Compensation levels for Named Executive Officers over the period 2003 to 2008 are generally consistent with the trend of total return on investment charted for Suncor in the performance graph, reflecting the high proportion of "at risk" compensation for Suncor's Named Executive Officers. Total direct compensation for the Named Executive Officers consisting of base salary, annual incentive payment and the value of the annual equity award is used for the comparison over the period.

        The decline in Named Executive Officer compensation in 2008 is not as significant as the decline in return in 2008 as long-term incentive equity grants are made early in the year and were made before the significant market downturn. For 2009, the compensation value is down similar to the trend in total shareholder return. The actual value of the Named Executive Officers' equity dropped significantly, and at a greater rate than that of shareholders, due to the decline in value from shares held, DSUs held and the "in-the-money" value of vested and unvested options.

        Specifically, in regards to the president and chief executive officer, the HR&CC annually reviews a broader analysis of the total compensation earned and accruing to the president and chief executive officer since his appointment and relates it to total shareholder return during the same period. In 2009, the HR&CC related the total accrued compensation earned by the president and chief executive officer up to December 31, 2008 to both the absolute increase in market capitalization, and the relative increase in market capitalization versus a relevant index, over the same period and found it to be reasonable.

Bonus awards are paid in cash in the year following the year in which they are earned. Amounts earned under the Management Incentive Plan in 2008 (paid in 2009) are included.

(2)
Amounts reported as All Other Compensation include notional dividend reinvestment in respect of DSUs ("DSU Dividend Reinvestment") granted pursuant to the Special Performance Incentive Plan, perquisites, other taxable benefits and other annual compensation. Mr. George's other annual compensation for 2008 includes $82,535 for DSU Dividend Reinvestment, $20,850 for financial planning and $19,545 for a leased automobile. 2007 includes $78,110 for DSU Dividend Reinvestment, $21,253 for financial planning consultation, and $18,826 for a leased automobile. In 2006 Mr. George's other annual compensation included $61,430 for DSU dividend reinvestment, $18,496 for financial planning consultation, $27,555 for personal use of corporate aircraft and $19,409 for a leased automobile.

(3)
All Other Compensation includes payments for relocation at Suncor's request. Mr. Williams received a payment of $85,650 to relocate from Fort McMurray to Calgary in 2007.

(4)
All Other Compensation for 2008 includes Mr. Bailey's personal use of corporate aircraft in the amount of $37,478 as well as flexible perquisite allowance of $35,000. For 2007, this amount includes personal use of corporate aircraft in the amount of $39,623 and a flexible perquisite allowance of $33,750. In 2006 these amounts were $3,754 for personal use of corporate aircraft and a flexible perquisite allowance of $25,417.

(5)
Share-based awards include Performance Share Units, granted under the terms of the PSU Plan and Restricted Share Units granted under the terms of the SunShare 2012 Plan.

(6)
Includes Suncor contributions to the Suncor Savings and Benefits Plans on behalf of the Named Executive Officer. Suncor contributes up to 7.5% of employee basic earnings to these plans on a matching basis.

(7)
Includes options granted under the ESP, SunShare 2012 Plan and SunShare Plans.

(8)
Amounts shown for 2006 and 2007 have not been restated to reflect new disclosure rules adopted for 2008.

(9)
The grant date fair value is $16.16 for the options granted under the ESP in February 2008 and $9.87 for the SunShare 2012 performance options granted in March 2008 (Mr. Thornton received a supplementary grant of SunShare 2012 Options (defined below) in recognition of his promotion to Executive Vice President in accordance with the terms of the plan), while the accounting fair value is $15.67 for the options granted under the ESP and $12.45 for the SunShare performance options.

The grant date fair value for compensation purposes is calculated using Towers Perrin's binomial option pricing methodology which is fundamentally similar to the methodology used to determine the accounting fair value. In particular, the regular option value is similar under both approaches due to relatively consistent underlying assumptions (e.g., historical volatility, risk-free rate, expected option life). The difference in the value of a SunShare option reflects a discount under Towers Perrin's binomial methodology to reflect the performance features attached to these options.

The HR&CC uses the binomial option pricing methodology valuations in making its decisions regarding long-term incentive grant levels since it is applied consistently in its consultant's competitive market analyses.

Retirement Arrangements

        The Suncor Energy Pension Plan is a registered pension plan that provides retirement income to Suncor employees, including the Named Executive Officers. Retirement income is based on a combination of a defined benefit pension payment, including an employee-paid benefit feature, and a defined contribution account balance.

        In addition to the pension under the Suncor Energy Pension Plan, executive officers may receive supplemental retirement payments under the terms of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). Under the terms of the SERP, any new participant must be approved by the HR&CC, which consists entirely of independent members of the Board of Directors.

        The SERP is a non-registered supplemental retirement arrangement with the following features:

    The executive's pension is based on 5% of the executive's remuneration times the number of years of service plus the Suncor Energy Pension Plan defined benefit pension formula percentage relating to service prior to becoming an executive to a combined maximum of 50%.

    Executive remuneration is an annualized amount of the average salary plus target bonus for the best consecutive 36 months of the last 180 months of continuous service.

    The pension increases by an additional 1.5% of executive remuneration for each year of SERP service earned generally after the executive completes 25 years of credited service.

    SERP credited service commences at the date of entry into the plan with no recognition of service for previous non-Suncor related employment.

    Five years of executive employment including, where applicable, the period of notice of termination or payment in lieu of such notice, are required for rights under the SERP to vest. Executive officers with less than five years of executive employment are not eligible to receive supplemental retirement payments under the SERP except in the event of a change in control, or a loss of employment upon or after the occurrence of certain specified events.

    SERP payments for retirement prior to age 60 will be reduced by an early retirement factor as determined under the registered pension plan.

    The normal form of payment on retirement, and the basis on which benefits in the following table are computed is: for married employees, joint and survivor, with 50% to the non-member surviving spouse; for single employees, for life, with five years guaranteed.

    A portion of retirement income is payable by the Suncor Energy Pension Plan, including both the defined benefit and defined contribution components, and a portion is payable under SERP. Canada Pension Plan payments are in addition to payments under the Suncor pension plans.

    Trust arrangements have been established to provide for the long-term funding of Suncor's non-U.S. taxpayer SERP obligations.

The accrued 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 Suncor's pension liabilities as disclosed in its consolidated financial statements. 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)
The accrued obligation at January 1, 2008 has been restated from the previous year to adjust for the cumulative impact on the accrued obligation resulting from the change in disclosure requirements as follows: (a) benefits under the defined contribution provision of the Suncor Energy Pension Plan have been separately disclosed in the Defined Contribution Plans table below; (b) employee-paid ancillary benefits have been included in the accrued obligation.

The SERP pension accrual rate is increased by the Suncor Energy Pension Plan defined benefit pension formula percentage relating to service prior to becoming an executive and is included in the maximum of 50% as described in note (1) above. The increase for Messieurs Bailey and Nabholz was 15% and 14% respectively.

(9)
Service for purposes of determining the additional pension accrual at 1.5% for service in excess of 25 years includes service prior to becoming an executive. For Messieurs Bailey and Nabholz the additional number of years included for this purpose is 14 and 11 years respectively.

Termination Contracts and Change of Control Arrangements

        Termination Contracts.    Suncor has entered into termination contracts with each of the Named Executive Officers to compensate such individuals, based on their remuneration, in the event of termination ("Termination Event") by Suncor, other than for just cause, and by the Named Executive Officer within 120 days following a constructive dismissal event, which includes a significant adverse change in their compensation, a significant diminution in their duties or responsibilities, certain relocations, or other material adverse changes to the terms of their employment.

        In 2008 the HR&CC reviewed the termination contracts in light of market trends and reduced, on a go forward basis, the notice period for executive termination contracts. As a result, should a Termination Event occur, the termination contracts provide a 24-month notice period for Mr. Bailey and a 30-month notice period for the remaining Named Executive Officers. Cash payments are provided for annual remuneration during the notice period, for ESP options which, but for the Termination Event, would have become exercisable during the notice period, and for PSUs and RSUs that would pay out during the notice period based on a performance factor calculated as at the date of termination, if applicable. Unless the Named Executive Officer is an eligible retiree, unvested options and share units granted under the SunShare 2012 Plan are, respectively, cancelled and forfeited. Named Executive Officers receive credited service under the SERP for the notice period.

        Change in Control.    Stock options under the ESP, Key Contributor Plan and SunShare 2012 Plan (collectively, the "Suncor Plans"), that are granted but not yet exercisable, become immediately exercisable in the event of a change of control of Suncor. In addition, PSUs and RSUs will vest in the event of a change of control subject to Suncor performance measured at the change of control date. A change of control generally includes a transaction or series of transactions whereby any person or combination of persons beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, 35% or more of the outstanding voting securities of Suncor or its successor.

        Certain management and key employees including the Named Executive Officers, have LARs attached to the options issued pursuant to the Suncor Plans. LARs provide the holders an opportunity to realize the value, if any, of their options under the Suncor Plans upon occurrence of a change of control transaction affecting Suncor. In that circumstance, option holders may be unable to exercise their options prior to completion of a change of control transaction due to securities regulatory requirements or internal Suncor policies.

        LARs represent a right attached to each option held by the LARs holder, exercisable upon completion of a change of control transaction, to receive a cash payment from Suncor, upon surrender of a related option. The cash payment for all LARs holders, other than U.S. taxpayers, is equal to the amount, if any, by which:

(a)
the greater of,

H-25


    (i)
    the highest price per common share paid by a person acquiring common shares in the change of control transaction, and

    (ii)
    the highest daily trading price of the common shares on the TSX during the 60-day period preceding the date of the change of control transaction (daily trading price for this purpose means the average of the high and low board lot trading prices of the common shares on any particular day),

(b)
exceeds the exercise price of the option to which the LAR is related.

        LARs are generally issued annually at Suncor's discretion, have an 18-month term (unless a replacement LAR is issued, in which case the LAR continues in effect under the terms of the replacement LAR), and attach to all options held by the holder during the term of the LAR. Upon the exercise or expiry of any option, the attached LAR is cancelled.

        Generally, LARs terminate and are of no further effect upon termination of employment, retirement, death or entitlement to long-term disability benefits. However, the Board of Directors has the discretion to permit the exercise of LARs in the manner and on such terms as it may authorize.

        Executive officers with less than five years of executive service may become eligible to receive supplemental retirement payments under the SERP in the event of a change in control of Suncor, after the occurrence of certain specified corporate changes, or for certain executives, after a substantial decrease in such executive's responsibilities. In addition, Suncor has entered into certain trust arrangements for non-U.S. taxpayers to secure its obligations under the SERP upon a change in control of Suncor.

        No payments to the Named Executive Officers in respect of resignation, retirement or other termination of employment have been made, accrued or became payable during 2008. The table below contains the estimated incremental payments, payables and benefits assuming a termination date of December 31, 2008.

        The numbers shown under "Option plans approved by security holders" refer to the ESP, the SunShare Performance Stock Option Plan and the SunShare 2012 Plan. The numbers shown under "Option plans not approved by security holders" refer to the Key Contributor Stock Option Plan, which was approved by the Board of Directors in 2004.

(i)    Executive Stock Plan

        The ESP was established in 1992 and is designed to reward eligible executives in relation to increases in common share price. The ESP and the common shares reserved thereunder have been approved by Suncor's shareholders. The ESP promotes an ownership perspective among executives, encourages the retention of key executives and provides an incentive to enhance shareholder value by furthering Suncor's growth and profitability. ESP awards vary according to the position and salary level of the participant. On September 21, 2004, Suncor's Board restricted participation in the ESP to Suncor insiders and effective November 14, 2008, rescinded such restriction.

        The ESP provides for the grant of options to purchase common shares, as well as limited appreciation rights ("LARs") and share appreciation rights ("SARs"), either with options or standing alone. SARs entitle the holder, upon exercise, to receive common shares in value equal to the difference between market value on exercise and the exercise price (where market value has the meaning given under "Additional Terms of Equity Compensation Plans" on page H-31). See "Termination Contracts and Change of Control Arrangements" on page H-25 for further information regarding LARs.

        A maximum of 55,200,000 common shares, 2,800,000 of which are specifically reserved for directors (see "Compensation of Directors"), have been authorized for issuance under the ESP since its inception in 1992. Options to purchase 9,705,557 common shares remain outstanding at April 27, 2009, representing 1.0% of Suncor's then outstanding shares. As of April 27, 2009, 2,178,732 common shares remain available for future option grants and other ESP awards, representing 0.2% of Suncor's then outstanding shares.

        Awards under the ESP are administered by the HR&CC. The HR&CC considers the number of common shares available for grant and prior years' grants when approving grants and setting the option grant guidelines under the ESP. The options granted under the ESP vest one-third per year over three years, starting January 1 of the year following the grant, and expire after 10 years from the date of the grant.

H-27


        The ESP also provides for awards of common shares, performance units and performance or bonus shares, and other share-based awards not inconsistent with the terms of the ESP. To date, the Board of Directors has only approved ESP awards of options to purchase common shares and LARs.

        Pursuant to terms of the ESP, the Board may amend, modify or terminate the ESP if and when it is advisable at the discretion of the Board without disinterested shareholder approval except for those amendments specifically requiring disinterested shareholder approval as mandated by the Terms of the ESP including: (a) an increase in the number of securities reserved under the ESP; (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 that benefits any option holder; (d) allowing awards granted under the ESP to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and (e) in the case of any amendment that increases the maximum number of options available for annual grants to non-employee directors. No amendments have been made to the ESP since the last annual meeting of shareholders.

(ii)   Performance Share Unit Plan

        PSUs pay out at a value between 0% and 150% of target contingent upon Suncor's performance relative to a peer group of companies. The peer group is chosen based on criteria approved by the Board of Directors. Specifically, the peer group includes large oil and gas production companies in Canada and the United States and all Canadian integrated oil and gas companies. The peer group is adjusted as appropriate and approved by the HR&CC for each annual grant.

        Performance and the corresponding payout, if any, is measured by reference to Suncor's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") relative to its peer group.

        Vesting for grants of PSUs up to and including the 2007 grant occurs as follows:

Percentage of PSU Vesting at
End of Three-Year Performance Period
 
Total Shareholder Return Performance Period Compared to Peer Group
Nil   Suncor TSR less than the 25th percentile of the peer group.
50%   Suncor TSR greater than or equal to the 25th percentile of the peer group TSRs, and less than the 50th percentile of the peer group TSRs.
100%   Suncor TSR greater than or equal to the 50th percentile of the peer group TSRs, and less than the 75th percentile of the peer group TSRs.
150%   Suncor TSR greater than or equal to the 75th percentile of the peer group TSRs.

        Vesting for grants of PSUs awarded after January 1, 2008, was changed to more explicitly recognize performance between the 25th and 75th percentiles of the peer group occurs as follows (as approved by the Board on July 24, 2008):

Percentage of PSU Vesting at
End of Three-Year Performance Period
 
Total Shareholder Return Performance Period Compared to Peer Group
Nil   Suncor TSR less than the 25th percentile of the peer group.
50% to 150%   Suncor TSR greater than or equal to the 25th percentile of the peer group TSRs, and less than the 75th percentile of the peer group TSRs.
150%   Suncor TSR greater than or equal to the 75th percentile of the peer group TSRs.

H-28


        At the end of the three-year performance period, relative TSR is measured, the payout value is determined and, if applicable, subsequently paid to participants in cash. The final value is based on the number of vested PSUs multiplied by the common share price as determined under the PSU Plan provisions.

        PSUs do not count towards the assessment of executive share ownership levels for purposes of the share ownership guidelines. Upon payout, executives must use the cash payout, or other cash resources, to purchase Suncor common shares on the open market in order to satisfy any unmet share ownership guidelines.

(iii) Key Contributor Stock Option Plan

        The Key Contributor Plan was approved by the Board of Directors in September 2004 and was subsequently approved by the TSX and by the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under its rules applicable to non-U.S. companies.

        The Key Contributor Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase common shares, as well as LARs and SARs, either with options or standing alone. All employees, other than insiders, are eligible to participate under the plan. SARs entitle the holder, upon exercise, to receive common shares in value equal to the difference between the market value on exercise and the exercise price (where market value has the meaning given under "Additional Terms of Equity Compensation Plans" on page H-31). The Key Contributor Plan also provides for awards of common shares, performance units and performance or bonus shares, and other share-based awards not inconsistent with the terms of the Key Contributor Plan. See "Termination Contracts and Change of Control Arrangements" on page H-25 for further information regarding LARs. To date, the Board has only approved grants of options for common shares and LARs under the Key Contributor Plan.

        A maximum of 10,400,000 common shares have been authorized for issuance under the Key Contributor Plan since its inception. Options to purchase 7,161,417 common shares remain outstanding at April 27, 2009, representing 0.8% of Suncor's then outstanding shares. As of April 27, 2009, 2,027,656 common shares remain available for future option grants and other Key Contributor Plan awards, representing 0.2% of Suncor's then outstanding shares. Awards under the Key Contributor Plan are administered by the HR&CC. The HR&CC considers the amount of common shares available for grant and prior years' grants when approving grants and setting the option grant guidelines under the Key Contributor Plan.

        The options granted under the Key Contributor Plan vest one-third per year over a three-year period, starting one year following the grant and expire after 10 years from the date of the grant under the Key Contributor Plan, the resultant aggregate dilution for all Suncor equity compensation plans involving newly issued securities must be less than 10%.

        Pursuant to terms of the Key Contributor Plan the Board may amend, modify or terminate the Key Contributor Plan if and when it is advisable at the discretion of the Board without disinterested shareholder approval except for those amendments specifically requiring disinterested shareholder approval as mandated by the Key Contributor Plan including: (a) an increase in the number of securities reserved under the Key Contributor Plan; (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 that benefits any option holder; (d) allowing awards granted under the Key Contributor Plan to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and (e) any amendment to the definition of participant or eligible participant that may permit the introduction of non-employee directors on a discretionary basis. No amendments have been made to the Key Contributor Plan since the last annual meeting of shareholders.

(iv)  SunShare 2012 Performance Share Option Plan

        On January 25, 2007, Suncor's Board of Directors approved a new performance-based long-term incentive plan, as a successor to the SunShare Plan, to support execution of Suncor's growth strategy through 2012. The plan was approved by shareholders on April 26, 2007.

        The plan has two components: performance stock options ("SunShare 2012 Options") and restricted share units ("SunShare 2012 RSUs").

        Performance Stock Options    All employees of Suncor and its subsidiaries, as designated by the HR&CC, are eligible to receive SunShare 2012 Options that will vest only if set performance criteria are achieved. The

H-29



performance criteria include aggressive share price and total shareholder return targets that align employee performance with shareholders' interests. Specifically, the performance criteria for 100% vesting of the SunShare 2012 Options include two common share price targets resulting in total share price growth of approximately 60% or more from September 28, 2007 to January 1, 2013 and relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance in the top quartile among a peer group of companies. TSR is a measure of return on investment that includes both capital gains and dividends over the measurement period. On May 12, 2008 we achieved the first share price target of the SunShare 2012 Plan.

        A maximum of 22,000,000 common shares have been authorized for issuance under the SunShare 2012 Plan. Options to purchase 16,257,636 common shares remain outstanding at April 27, 2009, representing 1.7% of Suncor's then outstanding shares. As of April 27, 2009, 5,742,364 common shares remain available for future option grants under the plan, representing 0.6% of Suncor's then outstanding shares. Under the SunShare 2012 Plan all eligible full-time and part-time employees, including the Named Executive Officers, have been granted SunShare 2012 Options in accordance with award guidelines approved by the HR&CC. The SunShare 2012 Plan also provides for the granting of LARs to those option holders who also hold LARs under the ESP.

        Restricted Share Units    SunShare 2012 RSUs were granted to eligible employees on January 1, 2008 and are expected to be granted January 1, 2010. SunShare 2012 RSUs are time vested and have a three-year term. They are scheduled to vest January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2013 respectively. Upon vesting, cash payouts will be made to eligible employees. All regular full-time and part-time employees are eligible to participate, other than employees represented by the Communication Energy and Paperworkers (CEP) union, who are eligible to participate in an alternative plan, and certain other ineligible employees as specified in the plan.

        The SunShare 2012 RSUs are intended to help attract and retain the talent required to execute our business strategies through Suncor's next growth phase between 2008 and 2012. Together with the SunShare 2012 Options, the SunShare 2012 RSUs are intended to reinforce and reward the performance necessary to achieve Suncor's goals.

        Pursuant to terms of the SunShare 2012 Plan the Board may amend, modify or terminate the SunShare 2012 Plan if and when it is advisable at the discretion of the Board without disinterested shareholder approval except for those amendments specifically requiring disinterested shareholder approval as mandated by the SunShare 2012 Plan including: (a) an increase in the number of securities reserved under the SunShare 2012 Plan; (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 that benefits any option holder; (d) allowing awards granted under the SunShare 2012 Plan to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and (e) any amendment to the definition of participant or eligible participant that may permit the introduction of non-employee directors on a discretionary basis. No amendments have been made to the SunShare 2012 Plan since the last annual meeting of shareholders.

(v)   Restricted Share Unit Plan

        The RSU Plan was established in January 2009 by the HR&CC and is designed, in light of existing market conditions, to provide RSUs to key employees, senior managers and executives of Suncor as part of their annual equity-based 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 share price for the last 20 trading days of the three (calendar) year restricted period.

        Awards under the RSU Plan are administered by the HR&CC. The first grant was on January 27, 2009 (for further details, see "2009 Compensation" on page H-15). RSUs will not count towards the assessment of executive share ownership levels for purposes of the share ownership guidelines.

(vi)  SunShare Performance Stock Option Plan (Closed Plan)

        The SunShare Plan was approved by Suncor's Board and shareholders and implemented in 2002. It was designed as the cornerstone of Suncor's long-term incentive strategy and aimed to promote a long-term perspective in decision-making and strategy implementation. The SunShare Plan helped foster corporate

H-30



integration and teamwork across Suncor and attract and retain key capabilities required to deliver Suncor's 2002 to 2008 business strategies.

        Since its inception in 2002, a maximum of 30,000,000 common shares were authorized for issuance. No grants have been made under the SunShare Plan since December 1, 2007. Options to purchase 13,532,030 common shares remain outstanding at April 27, 2009, representing 1.4% of Suncor's then outstanding shares. The exercise price of each SunShare Option is equal to the fair market value of a common share at the time of grant. No SunShare Option is exercisable later than April 29, 2012, which is 10 years after the effective date of the SunShare Plan.

        The performance criteria for maximum vesting included achievement of Suncor-wide targets for return on capital employed ("ROCE") with maximum vesting at 15% average annual ROCE over the 2003 to 2008 period, and a doubling of share price from the $13.82 grant price by April 2008 (achieved June 2005). The interim targets, namely the achievement of a 40% rise in share price concurrent with TSR superior to the TSR of the S&P 500, and the achievement of 15% ROCE for 2003 to 2004, were achieved on October 5, 2004 and December 31, 2004 respectively. In accordance with the SunShare Plan vesting rules, a total of 40% of eligible options vested in recognition of these achievements. The remaining 60% vested on April 30, 2008 for eligible employees, including Named Executive Officers.

        Pursuant to terms of the SunShare Plan the Board may amend, modify or terminate the SunShare Plan if and when it is advisable at the discretion of the Board without disinterested shareholder approval except for those amendments specifically requiring disinterested shareholder approval as mandated by the SunShare Plan including: (a) an increase in the number of securities reserved under the SunShare Plan; (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 that benefits any option holder; (d) allowing awards granted under the SunShare Plan to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; (e) any amendment to the definition of participant or eligible participant that may permit the introduction of non-employee directors on a discretionary basis. No amendments have been made to the SunShare Plan since the last annual meeting of shareholders.

Aggregate Potential Dilution

        The aggregate potential dilution of all issued, outstanding and authorized options under Suncor stock option plans was 6.1% at April 27, 2009. Suncor has no other equity compensation plans involving newly issued securities.

Additional Terms of Equity Compensation Plans

        In addition, the ESP, SunShare Plan, Key Contributor Plan, and SunShare 2012 Plan (the "Plans") contain the following terms:

    No one person or company is entitled to receive more than 5% of the common shares reserved for issuance on exercise of the options available for grant under the Plans.

    All or any portion of an option or LAR granted under any of these plans, or any entitlement to receive an option or LAR, is non transferable and no assignment, encumbrance or transfer, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest any interest or right in such option or LAR in any assignee or transferee. Rather, immediately upon any assignment or transfer, the option or LAR shall terminate, be cancelled and of no further effect. However, an option and the right to exercise it may transfer to a participant's heirs and legal personal representative in death.

    The exercise price of each option granted under the Plans cannot be less than the fair market value of a common share at the time of grant. Fair market value will be the simple average of the high and low prices at which shares were traded in one or more board lots on the TSX on the day prior to the grant date ("Market Value").

    Options granted under the Plans, but not yet exercisable, become immediately exercisable in the event of a change of control of Suncor.

H-31


    The 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.

    Finally, the aggregate number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance under the Plans, under any employee stock purchase plans of Suncor 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 of Suncor (as defined in the TSX Manual) in an amount exceeding 10% of Suncor's total issued and outstanding securities.

    Pursuant to the ESP and the Key Contributor Plan, in the event of an employee's involuntary or voluntary termination of employment, unvested options expire immediately and vested options expire no later than six months from such termination. Vested options expire one year after termination of employment due to death or disability and no later than three years after termination of employment due to retirement.

    Pursuant to the SunShare Plan and the SunShare 2012 Plan, all unvested options are cancelled on cessation of employment for any reason other than death, retirement or disability. Vested options expire in these circumstances six months from cessation of employment, unless the employee is terminated for cause in which case the vested options also expire immediately. Upon termination of employment due to death, unvested options expire one year from the employee's death and 18 months from the employee's death if they vest during the first year after the employee's death. Pursuant to the SunShare Plan, upon retirement or disability, options vest on a pro-rated basis, based on active service and achievement of performance criteria and expire one year from date of vesting. Pursuant to the SunShare 2012 Plan, upon retirement or disability, options may vest on a pro-rated basis based on active service. Any options that have not vested within one year of retirement shall be cancelled and be of no further force and effect.


DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' INSURANCE

        Under policies purchased by Suncor, approximately US$100 million of insurance is in effect for the directors and officers of Suncor against liability for any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect or breach of duty in discharging their duties, individually or collectively. Suncor is also insured under these policies in the event it is permitted or required by law to indemnify individual directors and officers.

        The policies are subject to certain exclusions, and provide for a corporate deductible of US$10 million in circumstances where Suncor indemnifies individual directors and officers. If Suncor is unable by law to indemnify individual directors and officers, including in an event of insolvency, there is no deductible. In 2008, Suncor paid premiums of approximately US$1.1 million for directors and officers insurance for the 12-month period ending June 15, 2009. No premiums were paid by any individual director or officer.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

        Suncor's Board of Directors is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance, and regularly reviews and updates its corporate governance systems in light of changing practices, expectations and legal requirements.

        Suncor is a Canadian reporting issuer. Our common shares are listed on both the TSX and the NYSE. Accordingly, our corporate governance practices reflect applicable rules and guidelines adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "Canadian Requirements") and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including applicable rules adopted by the SEC to give effect to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (collectively, the "SEC Requirements"). NYSE corporate governance requirements are generally not applicable to non-U.S. companies. However, Suncor has reviewed its practices against the requirements of the NYSE applicable to U.S. domestic companies ("NYSE Standards"). Based on that review, Suncor's corporate governance practices in 2008 did not differ from the NYSE Standards in any significant respect, with the exceptions described in Schedule C under the heading, "Compliance with NYSE Standards".

        Suncor's Statement of Corporate Governance Practices ("Statement") this year is based on the Canadian Requirements, as set out in National Policy 58-201, Corporate Governance Guidelines and National Instrument 58-101, Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (collectively, the "CSA Guidelines"). This Statement has been approved by the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of its Governance Committee.

        Suncor's Statement can be found in Schedule C.

SCHEDULE C: CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SUMMARY

Statement of Corporate Governance Practices

        Throughout this Statement of Corporate Governance Practices, there are references to information available on Suncor's website. All such information is available at www.suncor.com under the "Investor Centre" tab. Information on Suncor's website, though referenced herein, does not form part of this Statement or this Information Circular. In addition, shareholders may request printed copies of these materials by contacting Suncor at 112 – 4th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2V5, by calling 1-800-558-9071, or by email request to info@suncor.com.

Board of Directors and Director Independence(1)

        The cornerstone of Suncor's governance system is its Board of Directors, whose duty is to supervise the management of Suncor's business and affairs.

        The Board is currently comprised of a majority of independent directors (10 of 11 members)(2). The only Suncor director who is not independent is Richard L. George, Suncor's president and chief executive officer.(3) A short biography of each Suncor director can be found starting on page H-3.

        The Board reviews the independence of its members annually. The Board has adopted independence criteria for assessing the independence of directors including additional requirements applicable to members of the Audit Committee. In general terms, the Board considers a director to be independent if that director has no material relationship with the Corporation, either as partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Suncor. The Board's independence policy and criteria include a description of certain relationships that operate as a complete bar to independence. Suncor's independence criteria are consistent with the Canadian Requirements and the SEC Requirements (each defined on page H-32 of this Information Circular). The independence criteria are set out in Schedule F.

        In applying the independence criteria, the Board reviews and analyzes the existence, materiality and effect of any relationships between Suncor and each of its directors, either directly, through immediate family members or as a partner, significant shareholder or officer of another organization that has a relationship with Suncor, and determines in each case whether the relationships could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act independently of management.

        Some Suncor directors sit on the boards of other public companies. Particulars are set out in the biographies on pages H-3 to H-5.(4) Some of these are companies with which Suncor has business relationships. The Board has reviewed these relationships on a case-by-case basis against the independence criteria and has determined that none of these relationships impair the independence of the individual directors, as the directors do not serve as employees or executives of these other companies, their respective remuneration from these directorships is not personally material to them, and they are not personally involved in negotiating, managing, administering or approving contracts between Suncor and the other entities on whose boards they serve. The Board's conflict of interest policy, described in detail below, precludes these directors from voting with respect to any of these arrangements, should they be considered by the Board. In the event there is any material discussion of these arrangements or any arrangements involving competitors of these entities by the Board, these directors absent themselves from the boardroom and do not participate.

        All of the Board's four standing committees — Governance, Audit, Human Resource and Compensation ("HR&CC") and Environment Heath and Safety ("EH&S") — are comprised entirely of independent directors. Members of the Audit Committee are required to be financially literate. In addition, at least one member of the Audit Committee must be determined by the Board to be an "audit committee financial expert". The Board has determined Mr. O'Brien, a member of the Audit Committee and an independent director, to be such an expert. The criteria for assessing the financial literacy of Audit Committee members, and whether they qualify as an "audit committee financial expert", are set out in the Terms of Reference in Schedule D.

        Suncor's independent directors meet in camera at the end of each Board meeting without management present. Mr. George, as a member of management and the only Suncor director who is not independent, does not participate in these sessions. The sessions are presided over by Mr. Ferguson, Suncor's independent chair since April 2007.(5) The Board's committees also hold in-camera sessions without management present following

H-40



each of their meetings. These sessions are presided over by the independent chairs of the respective committees. Any issues addressed at the in-camera meetings requiring action on behalf of, or communication to management, are communicated to management by the independent chair or other independent director. For information about the number of Board and Board committee meetings held during 2008, and directors' attendance at these meetings, see page H-6.(6,7)

        The roles and responsibilities of Suncor's independent chair are set forth in a position description that has been approved by the Board. The position description is set out in Schedule E.(8)

Board Mandate(9)

        The Board has developed terms of reference ("Terms of Reference") as the charter of the Board. The Terms of Reference include a general overview of the Board's role in Suncor's governance, a statement of key guidelines and policies applicable to the Board and its committees, and a mandate ("Board Mandate") that describes its major responsibilities, goals and duties. The Board of Directors has approved and reviews at least annually its Terms of Reference. These range from specific matters, such as the declaration of dividends that by law must be exercised by the Board, to its general role to determine, in broad terms, the purposes, goals, activities and general characteristics of Suncor. The Terms of Reference provide that the Board is responsible for the selection, monitoring and evaluation of executive management, and for overseeing the ways in which Suncor's business and affairs are managed, thereby assuming responsibility for the stewardship of Suncor. The full text of the Terms of Reference is set out in Schedule D.

        The Board of Directors delegates day-to-day management of Suncor's business to Suncor's chief executive officer ("CEO") and other members of management. The Board, through the CEO, sets standards of conduct, including Suncor's general moral and ethical tone, compliance with applicable laws, standards for financial practices and reporting, qualitative standards for operations and products and other standards that reflect the views of the Board as to the conduct of the business in the best interests of Suncor. A management control process policy, adopted by the Board, defines and sets limits on the authority delegated to management.

        The following is a description of some key duties of the Board as set out in the Board Mandate, with reference to the Canadian Requirements, including a description of the specific roles of Board committees. The following description is not exhaustive. For more information, please refer to Schedule D and to the mandates of Suncor's Board committees, available on Suncor's website.

        Ethics(10)    The Board Mandate explicitly recognizes that the Board, through the CEO, sets Suncor's standards of conduct, including our general moral and ethical tone, standards for compliance with applicable laws, standards for financial practices and reporting, qualitative standards for operations and products, and others. The Board Mandate also states the Board should be satisfied that the CEO and executive officers are creating and fostering a culture of integrity within Suncor. The Board plays an active role in this area through its oversight of Suncor's business conduct code and compliance program (see "Ethical Business Conduct" on page H-45), and through its assessment and evaluation of the performance of the CEO. The CEO's position description includes an accountability for setting a high ethical tone for the organization as a whole and fostering a culture of integrity throughout the organization (see "Position Descriptions" on page H-45).

        Strategic Planning    One of the Board's major duties is to review, with management, Suncor's mission, objectives and goals, and the strategies for achieving them. The Board is responsible for ensuring Suncor has an effective strategic planning process, and for annually approving the budget and the strategies reflected in Suncor's long-range plan. A Board meeting principally devoted to corporate strategy is held annually. The Governance Committee assists the Board by annually assessing Suncor's planning and budgeting processes, and by acting as an effective sounding Board for management on key strategic initiatives. It also works with management to design the annual strategy meeting, and assesses the effectiveness of this meeting.

        Risk Oversight    One of the major responsibilities of the Board is to oversee the identification of the principal risks of Suncor's business and ensure there are systems in place to effectively identify, monitor and manage them. To that end, the Board undertakes an annual principal risk review. This includes an identification, classification and assessment of the principal risks of our business and an overview of risk management and mitigation strategies. Each principal risk is mapped to a Board committee, or the full Board as appropriate, for

H-41



oversight, and to the CEO and other members of senior management with the key accountability in each risk area. The Audit Committee oversees the Board's risk management governance model by conducting periodic reviews to reflect the principal risks of our business in the mandates of the Board and its committees. For example, the EH&S Committee monitors the effectiveness and integrity of Suncor's internal controls as they relate to operational risks of its physical assets. It also reviews environmental, health and safety issues and reports to the Board of Directors on these matters. The Audit Committee reviews financial risk management issues, programs and policies, including cash management, insurance and the use of financial derivatives. The Governance Committee assists the Board by reviewing and assessing emerging risk areas that do not fall under the mandate of another Board committee.

        Succession Planning and Monitoring/Evaluating Senior Management    The Board ensures the continuity of executive management by appointing a CEO and overseeing succession planning for that key role. The HR&CC is specifically mandated to assist the Board in this regard, by ensuring that appropriate executive succession planning and performance evaluation programs and processes are in place and operating effectively. The HR&CC also reviews and reports to the Board on the succession plan for senior management positions, including the position of CEO. The HR&CC conducts an annual review of the CEO's performance against predetermined goals and criteria, and recommends to the Board the total compensation of the CEO (see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" on page H-12).

        Communication/Disclosure Policy    Suncor has a disclosure policy called "Communications with the Public" that establishes guidelines and standards for Suncor's communications with shareholders, investment analysts, other stakeholders and the public generally. This policy includes measures to avoid selective disclosure of material information, identifies designated Suncor spokespersons and establishes internal review processes for key public communications. Suncor's business conduct code (see the information under the heading, "Ethical Business Conduct", on page H-45) addresses Suncor's obligations for continuous and timely disclosure of material information and sets standards requiring directors, officers, employees and contractors trading in Suncor shares and other securities to comply with applicable law.

        Suncor has disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information relating to Suncor is made known to our CEO and our chief financial officer ("CFO"). Suncor has a Disclosure Committee, chaired by its vice president and controller, and has designed and implemented due diligence procedures to support the financial reporting process and the certification of our financial reports by the CEO and CFO.

        The Board of Directors is specifically mandated to ensure systems are in place for communication with Suncor's shareholders and other stakeholders. Suncor interprets its operations for its shareholders and other stakeholders, through a variety of channels, including its periodic financial reports, securities filings, news releases, sustainability and climate change reports, webcasts, external website, briefing sessions and group meetings. Suncor encourages and seeks stakeholder feedback through various channels including corporate communications and investor relations programs, and through participation in the regulatory process. The Board, either directly or through the activities of a designated Board committee, reviews and approves all quarterly and annual financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"), management proxy circulars, annual information forms/Form 40-F, and press releases containing significant new financial information, among others.

        Internal Controls    The Board of Directors is specifically mandated to ensure processes are in place to monitor and maintain the integrity of Suncor's internal control and management information systems. The Audit Committee is specifically mandated to assist the Board of Directors by reviewing the effectiveness of financial reporting, management information and internal control systems and the effectiveness of management in ensuring the integrity and security of Suncor's electronic information systems and records. This includes a review of the evaluation of these systems by internal and external auditors.

        Corporate Governance System    The Governance Committee assists the Board of Directors with governance issues. Among other things, this committee monitors and reviews key corporate governance requirements, guidelines and best practices, making recommendations to the Board where appropriate, and reviews and approves this Statement of Corporate Governance Practices (See "Governance Committee", under the heading "Board Committees" on page H-43).

H-42


        Stakeholder Feedback    The Board Mandate currently provides that the Board should ensure Suncor has systems in place to accommodate stakeholder feedback, and that these systems are appropriately resourced. Among other feedback mechanisms, Suncor currently maintains a 1-800 phone number as well as email and regular mail addresses for stakeholder feedback and questions. Shareholders may communicate directly with Suncor's independent chair by addressing correspondence to him at the address set out on page H-40.

        Expectations and Responsibilities of Directors    The Terms of Reference, supplemented by a Board-approved accountability statement for directors, identifies the key expectations placed on Board members. Directors are expected to review meeting materials in advance of meetings to encourage and facilitate discussion and questions. Directors must devote sufficient time and energy to their role as Suncor director to effectively discharge their duties to Suncor and the Board. Board meeting dates are established well in advance and directors are expected to attend all meetings absent extenuating circumstances. Directors' attendance records for meetings held in 2008 are set out on page H-6.

        Pursuant to the Terms of Reference, Audit Committee members must not be members of the audit committees of more than two other public companies, unless the Board determines that simultaneous service on a greater number of audit committees would not impair the member's ability to effectively serve on Suncor's Audit Committee.

Board Committees(11)

        The Board of Directors discharges its responsibilities through preparation for and attendance at regularly scheduled meetings, and through its four standing committees, each of which has a written mandate that is reviewed annually by such committee. Each of these committees is comprised solely of independent directors and, except where otherwise specified in the Terms of Reference or in Suncor's by-laws, each committee has the power to determine its own rules of procedure. Subject to limited exceptions, these committees generally do not have decision-making authority; rather, they convey their findings and recommendations on matters falling within their respective mandates to the full Board of Directors.

        The committees also have the authority to conduct any independent investigations into matters which fall within the scope of their responsibilities, and may engage external advisors (as may the full Board or an individual director), at Suncor's expense, to assist them in fulfilling their mandate.

        The following is a brief summary of the key functions, roles and responsibilities of Suncor's Board committees. The complete text of the mandates of each Board committee is on Suncor's website.

        Governance Committee    The Governance Committee assists the Board in two areas: corporate governance and corporate strategy. In its governance role, the Governance Committee is mandated to determine Suncor's overall approach to governance issues and key corporate governance principles. It also reviews matters pertaining to Suncor's values, beliefs and standards of ethical conduct. The Governance Committee also conducts the annual assessment of the overall performance and effectiveness of the Board of Directors, its committees and individual directors.

        In its strategy role, the Governance Committee acts as an effective sounding board for management on key strategic initiatives and reviews and assesses processes relating to long-range and strategic planning and budgeting.

        Audit Committee    The Audit Committee assists the Board in matters relating to Suncor's internal controls and internal auditors, excluding the operations integrity audit department which is specifically within the mandate of the EH&S Committee (references throughout this Schedule C to "Internal Audit" shall not include the operations integrity audit department). The Audit Committee also assists in matters relating to external auditors and the external audit process, oil and natural gas reserves reporting, financial reporting and public communication, risk management, security and certain other key financial matters.

        In fulfilling its role, the Audit Committee monitors the effectiveness and integrity of Suncor's financial reporting, management information and internal control systems. The Audit Committee exercises general oversight over the Internal Audit function by reviewing the plans, activities, organizational structure, qualifications and performance of the Internal Auditors. The appointment or termination of the chief officer in charge of Internal Audit is reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. This officer has a direct reporting

H-43



relationship with the committee and meets with it, in the absence of other members of management, at least quarterly. It also reviews any recommended appointees to the office of chief financial officer. The Audit Committee also monitors Suncor's business conduct code compliance program (see "Ethical Business Conduct" on page H-45).

        The Audit Committee plays a key role in relation to Suncor's external auditors. It initiates and approves their engagement or termination, subject to shareholder approval, and monitors and reviews their independence, effectiveness, performance and quality control processes and procedures.

        The Audit Committee reviews and approves, with management and external auditors, significant financial reporting issues, the conduct and results of the annual audit, and significant finance, accounting and disclosure policies and other financial matters. The Audit Committee also plays a key role in financial reporting, by reviewing Suncor's core disclosure documents, being its annual and interim financial statements, MD&A and annual information form (Form 40-F in the United States). The committee approves interim financial statements and interim MD&A and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to approval of the annual disclosure documents.

        The Audit Committee also plays a key oversight role in the evaluation and reporting of Suncor's oil and natural gas reserves. This includes review of Suncor's procedures relating to reporting and disclosure, as well as those for providing information to Suncor's independent reserves evaluator. The Audit Committee annually approves the appointment and terms of engagement of the reserves evaluator, including their qualifications and independence, and any changes in their appointment. Suncor's reserves data and report of the reserves evaluator are annually reviewed by the committee prior to approval by the full Board of Directors.

        The Audit Committee reviews Suncor's policies and practices with respect to cash management, financial derivatives, financing, credit, insurance, taxation, commodities trading and related matters. It also reviews the assets, financial performance, funding and investment strategy of Suncor's registered pension plan, as well as the terms of engagement of the plan's actuary and fund manager, and any significant actuarial reports. The Audit Committee oversees generally the Board's risk management governance model by conducting periodic reviews to ensure the principal risks of Suncor's business are reflected in the mandates of the Board and its committees, and reviews significant physical security management, IT security or business recovery risks and strategies to address such risks.

        For additional information about Suncor's Audit Committee, including the Audit Committee Charter and Pre-approval Policies and Procedures, see "Audit Committee Information" in Suncor's Annual Information Form dated March 2, 2009, filed at www.sedar.com.

        Environment, Health and Safety Committee    The EH&S Committee reviews the effectiveness with which Suncor meets its obligations and achieves its objectives pertaining to the environment, health and safety. This includes the effectiveness with which management establishes and maintains appropriate EH&S policies. The EH&S Committee also monitors management's performance and emerging trends and issues in these areas. In fulfilling its role, the EH&S Committee monitors the adequacy of the Suncor system of EH&S internal controls, and reviews quarterly management stewardship reports as well as the findings of significant external and internal EH&S investigations, assessments, reviews and audits. Suncor's periodic sustainability report, a detailed public disclosure document that includes reporting on Suncor's EH&S progress, plans and performance objectives, is also reviewed by the EH&S Committee.

        The EH&S Committee also assists the Board in matters pertaining to the integrity of Suncor's physical assets, by monitoring the adequacy of Suncor's internal controls as they relate to operational risks of its physical assets and matters of EH&S. In fulfilling this role, it reviews and approves the appointment or termination of the Director, Operations Integrity Audit, and reviews the qualifications of the internal auditors and organizational structure of the Operations Integrity Audit department. The EH&S Committee also reviews the department's charter and its annual audit plans and activities, and the effectiveness of the operations integrity audit function. The EH&S Committee approves the engagement or termination of external auditors overseeing the operations integrity audit program, and reviews their audit scope, approach and performance, and approves their fees.

H-44


        Human Resources and Compensation Committee    For more information regarding the nature, scope, roles and responsibilities of the HR&CC, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis", on page H-12.

Position Descriptions(12)

        The Board has developed and approved written position descriptions for the Board chair, Board committee chairs and the CEO. The Board has also developed and approved a written position description, called an "Accountability Statement", for individual directors. For a summary of individual director accountabilities, see Expectations and Responsibilities of Directors, under the heading "Board Mandate" on page H-41. The position description for the CEO includes a general description of the role as well as specific accountabilities in the areas of strategic planning, financial results, leadership, safety, government, environment and social relations, and management's relationship with the Board.

        The position descriptions form part of the charter of the Board of Directors, and as such are reviewed annually by the applicable Board committee and changes are recommended by that committee to the full Board. The position descriptions are all posted on Suncor's website. In addition, the position description for Suncor's Board chair is set out in Schedule E.

Orientation and Continuing Education(13)

        Each new member of the Board will participate in a formal orientation program. The orientation program includes in-person meetings with senior management on key legal, environmental, business, financial and operational topics central to Suncor's business and operations and a tour at the sites of Suncor's principal operations. The orientation program also focuses on the role of the Board, its committees and its directors, and the nature and operation of Suncor's business.

        A Directors' Handbook, containing information about the Board and Suncor, including Suncor's core governance documents, is presented to each director upon joining the Board. The handbook is continuously updated and is available for viewing by directors through a dedicated and secure directors' portal.(14)

        Presentations and tours at the sites of Suncor's principal operations are provided to directors on a periodic basis, often in conjunction with Board meetings, for the purpose of acquainting directors with Suncor's operations and the communities in which they are located.

        The Board's Director Continuing Education Policy encourages directors to enrol in courses and programs that enhance and supplement their knowledge and skills in areas relevant to their role on Suncor's Board, with the approval of the chairman of the Board or Governance Committee. Through this program, Suncor's directors have taken courses in such diverse topics as reserves evaluation, financial accounting and corporate governance.

        The Governance Committee maintains a strategic education program. In conjunction with Board meetings, management presents focused information to directors on topics pertinent to Suncor's business, including the impact of significant new laws or changes to existing laws, and opportunities presented by new technologies.(15) In an annual survey, directors are asked to suggest topics of interest for future information sessions and three topics will be chosen annually for speakers and / or presentations from internal or external sources.

Ethical Business Conduct(16)

        Code of Conduct    Sound, ethical business practices are fundamental to Suncor's business. Suncor has a business conduct code (the "Code") that applies to Suncor's directors, officers, employees and contractors.(17) The Code requires strict compliance with legal requirements and sets Suncor's standards for the ethical conduct of our business. Topics addressed in the Code include competition, conflict of interest and the protection and proper use of corporate assets and opportunities, confidentiality, disclosure of material information, trading in shares and securities, communications to the public, improper payments, fair dealing in trade relations, and accounting, reporting and business control. Suncor's Code is supported by detailed policy guidance and standards, and a Code compliance program, under which every Suncor director, officer, non-union employee and independent contractor is required to certify, on an annual basis, that he or she has reviewed the Code, that he or she understands the requirements of the Code, and his or her compliance with the Code during the preceding 12-month period.

H-45


        Suncor's Board exercises stewardship over the Code in several respects. Suncor's internal auditors audit the compliance program annually, and the director of internal audit, who has direct reporting relationships with the Audit Committee, reports on compliance to that committee. In addition, at least once annually, the Code is reviewed and if appropriate, updated. Management reports to the Governance Committee annually on this process, and any recommended changes are approved by the Governance Committee. (18) Any waivers of Code requirements for Suncor's executive officers or members of the Board of Directors must be approved by the Board of Directors or appropriate committee thereof, and disclosed. No such waivers were granted in 2008.

        Suncor encourages employees to raise ethical concerns with Suncor management, our legal, corporate security, human resources or internal audit departments, without fear of retaliation. In addition, the Board has established an "Integrity Hotline" to provide a means for Suncor employees to discuss issues of concern anonymously, with a third party service provider. The Integrity Hotline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Any issues of a serious nature are investigated by Suncor's internal auditors or security staff. The Audit Committee receives regular updates on activities relating to the Integrity Hotline.

        The Code is available on Suncor's website, under the "Governance" tab in the Investor Centre.(19)

Conflicts of Interest(20)

        The Board has adopted a policy relating to directors' conflicts of interest. Pursuant to this policy, directors are required to maintain with the Corporate Secretary a current list of all other entities in which they have a material interest, or on which they serve as a director, trustee or in a similar capacity. This list is made available to all directors through the directors' portal. Directors must immediately advise the Corporate Secretary of any deletions, additions or other changes to any information in their declaration of interest.

        If the change involves a change in the director's principal occupation or an appointment as director, officer or trustee of any for-profit or not-for-profit organization, the director must also notify the Board chair, who will determine whether the change would be inconsistent with the director's duties as a member of the Board. In appropriate circumstances, the Board chair may request the director's resignation.

        The policy sets out clear procedures applicable in the event conflicts arise. If a director is a party to, or has an interest in any party to, a contract or transaction before the Board of Directors (regardless of the materiality of the contract or transaction), the director must immediately advise the Board chair or the Governance Committee chair. The director's conflict or potential conflict is recorded in the minutes of meeting, and the director is required to absent himself or herself from the meeting for any material discussions or deliberations concerning the subject matter of the contract or transaction. The director is required to abstain from voting on any resolution in respect of such contract or transaction.

        The Corporate Secretary ensures that directors do not receive Board materials in situations where the subject matter of those materials could involve an actual or potential conflict of interest.

Nomination of Directors(21)

        The selection process for new nominees for membership on Suncor's Board of Directors is conducted by the Governance Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors.(22) More information on the responsibilities, powers and operations of the Governance Committee is found on page H-43.(23)

        The Governance Committee maintains an inventory of capabilities, competencies and skills of current Board members and of the Board as a whole. This is periodically assessed to identify any gaps between the desired set of capabilities, competencies, skills and qualities, and those that are adequately represented on the Board, taking pending retirements into account. The Committee uses this assessment as a basis for identifying the skills, experiences, qualifications, diversity and personal qualities desired in potential new Board members. The Governance Committee maintains a list of potential candidates identified from a number of sources, including an executive search firm and referrals from existing directors. When a vacancy occurs or is pending, the Governance Committee identifies a short list of potential candidates to pursue further, considering whether the candidates can devote sufficient time and resources to his or her duties as a Board member.

        Throughout the process, the Governance Committee provides updates to the Board and solicits input on candidates. Candidates are interviewed by members of the committee and other directors as deemed

H-46



appropriate. The Governance Committee ultimately provides its recommendation to the full Board of Directors, which approves a nominee for submission to shareholders for election to the Board.(24)

Compensation(25)

        Human Resources and Compensation Committee    The HR&CC, comprised entirely of independent directors, assists the Board in matters pertaining to Board and executive compensation.

        Board Compensation    The HR&CC reviews and reports to the Board on directors' compensation issues. The HR&CC has developed, in consultation with outside advisors, guidelines for director compensation based on, among other factors, directors' roles and responsibilities and an analysis of the competitive position of Suncor's director compensation program. The HR&CC annually reviews the competitiveness and form of Board compensation, and makes recommendations to the full Board on the level and form of Board compensation and share ownership guidelines. The Board has set director compensation based upon recommendations from this committee.

        CEO and Senior Executive Compensation    The HR&CC assists the Board by annually reviewing the performance of the CEO and recommending his total compensation to the full Board. The corporate objectives for which the CEO is responsible include a combination of corporate goals and personal goals, set annually by the Board of Directors in consultation with the HR&CC and Board chair. The HR&CC annually reviews the CEO's performance against these objectives and against the key accountabilities of his position, as set out in the CEO's position description. The HR&CC reports its assessment to the full Board which ultimately approves CEO compensation.

        The HR&CC also reviews annually the CEO's evaluation of the other senior executives within the organization and his recommendation for their total compensation.

        For more information about the HR&CC and the process and criteria for determining the CEO's total compensation, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" on page H-12.

Assessment of Directors(26)

        The Governance Committee annually assesses and evaluates the overall performance and effectiveness of the Board of Directors, its committees, and individual directors, both as directors and as chairs of the Board or a particular Board committee, if applicable. Each year, directors complete a confidential questionnaire that includes both a self-assessment and peer review to assess individual performance. The resulting data is analyzed by the Governance Committee, which then reports to the full Board of Directors with any recommendations for enhancing or strengthening effectiveness. The Board chair reviews data relating to individual performance and conducts one-on-one meetings with each director as appropriate, focused on individual effectiveness.

Compliance with NYSE Standards

        Suncor's corporate governance practices meet or exceed all applicable Canadian Requirements and SEC Requirements. Except as disclosed below, Suncor's corporate governance practices are in compliance with NYSE Standards in all significant respects.

    Approval of Equity Compensation Plans.  The NYSE Standards require shareholder approval of all equity compensation plans and any material revisions thereto, regardless of whether the securities to be delivered under them are newly issued or purchased on the open market. The TSX rules, applicable to Suncor, only require shareholder approval in accordance with a specific amendment provision, as approved by shareholders at the 2007 annual and special meeting and by the TSX. See "Summary of Equity Compensation Plans" on page H-27.

    Independence Standards.  The Board of Directors is responsible for determining whether or not each director is independent. In making this determination, the Board has adopted the definition of "independence" as set forth in Canadian Requirements (specifically National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees) and SEC Requirements (specifically Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Suncor's Board has not adopted the director independence standards contained in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE's Listed Company Manual.

SCHEDULE D: BOARD TERMS OF REFERENCE

Part I: Overview

        The Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Act"), Suncor Energy's governing statute, provides "that the directors shall manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of a corporation...". In practice, as a Board of Directors cannot "manage" a company such as Suncor Energy in the sense of directing its day-to-day operations, the overarching role and legal duty of Suncor's Board of Directors is to "supervise" the management of Suncor's business and affairs. Accordingly, the Board of Directors oversees development of the overall strategic direction and policy framework for Suncor Energy. This responsibility is discharged through Board oversight of Suncor Energy's management, which is responsible for the day-to-day conduct of the business. The Board, through the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), sets standards of conduct, including the Company's general moral and ethical tone, compliance with applicable laws, standards for financial practices and reporting, qualitative standards for operations and products and other standards that reflect the views of the Board as to the conduct of the business in the best interests of the Company.

        In general, then, the Board is responsible for the selection, monitoring and evaluation of executive management, and for overseeing the ways in which Suncor Energy's business and affairs are managed. In this way, the Board assumes responsibility for the stewardship of the Company. Specific responsibilities which facilitate the discharge of the Board's stewardship responsibilities include: the strategic planning process, risk identification and management, ensuring that effective stakeholder communication policies are in place, and ensuring the integrity of internal controls and management information systems. These responsibilities, and others, are addressed in more detail in the Board's Mandate, comprising Part IV of these Terms of Reference.

        The Board of Directors discharges its responsibilities with the assistance of Board committees. The committees advise and formulate recommendations to the Board, but except in limited and specifically identified circumstances, do not have the authority to approve matters on behalf of the Board of Directors. General guidelines relating to Board committees comprise Part III of these Terms of Reference. In addition, each committee has a written mandate, setting out the scope of its operations, and its key roles and responsibilities. Position descriptions of the Board Committee Chairs and the Board of Directors Chairman set out the related principles, framework and accountabilities for those key roles in Suncor's Board governance.

        The CEO of Suncor Energy is delegated the responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Company and for providing the Company with leadership. The CEO discharges these responsibilities by formulating Company policies and proposed actions, and, where appropriate, presenting them to the Board for approval. The Company's Management Control Process Policy explicitly identifies actions which have been specifically delegated to the CEO, and those which are reserved to the Board of Directors. In addition, the Board has plenary power, and has the power to specify and modify the authority and duties of management as it sees fit with a view to Suncor Energy's best interests and in accordance with current standards. The Act also identifies certain matters which must be considered by the Board as a whole and may not be delegated to a committee or to management. These matters include:

    any submission to the shareholders of a question or matter requiring the approval of the shareholders;

    the filling of a vacancy among the directors or in the office of the external auditor;

    the manner of and terms for the issuance of securities;

    the declaration of dividends;

    the purchase, redemption or any other form of acquisition of shares issued by the Company;

    the payment of a commission to any person in consideration of the purchase or agreement to purchase shares of the Company from the Company or from any other person, or procuring or agreeing to procure purchasers for any such shares;

    the approval of management proxy circulars;

    the approval of any take-over bid circular or directors' circular;

    the approval of the audited annual financial statements of the Company; and

    the adoption, amendment or repeal of by-laws of the Company.

H-49


        One of the key stewardship responsibilities of the Board is to approve the Company's goals, strategies and plans, and the fundamental objectives and policies within which the business is operated, and evaluate the performance of executive management. Once the Board has approved the goals, strategies and plans, it acts in a unified and cohesive manner in supporting and guiding the CEO. The CEO keeps the Board fully informed of the progress of the Company toward the achievement of its goals, strategies and plans, in a timely and candid manner, and the Board of Directors continually evaluates the performance of executive management toward these achievements.

Part II: Board Guidelines

        The following have been adopted by the Board as the guidelines applicable to the Board and its operations:

    These Terms of Reference for the Board of Directors (which include the Board Guidelines, Committee Guidelines, Board Mandate and Board Forward Agenda, setting out the important issues that must be addressed by the Board of Directors annually), and the mandates and forward agendas of the Board committees, constitute the charters of the Board and committees respectively, and are reviewed by the Board annually and updated as deemed appropriate. These charters are supplemented by the position descriptions for the Board Chairman and Board Committee Chairs, as well as the Director Accountability Statement.

    The CEO is responsible for leading the development of long-range plans for the Company, including its goals and strategies. The Board, both directly and through its committees, participates in discussions of strategy, by responding to and contributing ideas. The Board annually reviews and approves the Company's annual business plan (including the annual budget), and approves the strategies as reflected in the Company's long range plan.

    The Board believes that the appropriate size for the Board is between 10 and 14 members

    Directors stand for re-election annually.

    The Board maintains a Mandatory Retirement and Change of Circumstance Policy and reviews the Policy periodically to ensure it continues to serve the Company's best interests. The Board maintains a policy permitting directors to retain outside advisors at the expense of the Company, subject to the written approval of any of the Board Chairman, the Chair of the committee proposing to retain outside advisors, or the Governance Committee. In exercising their approval authority, the Board, Board Committee Chair or Governance Committee, as the case may be, will establish, on a case by case basis, reasonable monetary limits and other controls as deemed appropriate.

    In order to support the alignment of Directors' interests with those of Suncor's shareholders, Directors shall own during the term of their directorship, within five years of being appointed or elected to the Board, a minimum value of Suncor common shares, DSUs or any combination thereof, as determined annually by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee.

    The Board should be comprised of a majority of independent directors. The Board has defined an independent director in written independence criteria, based on the definition in the Canadian Requirements and the SEC Requirements(1). On an annual basis, the Board of Directors shall consider and affirmatively determine whether each individual director is independent, in accordance with the criteria.

    The membership of the CEO on the Board of Directors is valuable and conducive to effective decision making. However, there should generally be no more than three inside(2) directors on the Board of Directors.

    The Board supports the separation of the role of Chairman from the role of CEO.

(1)
Suncor's corporate governance practices reflect applicable rules and guidelines adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "Canadian Requirements") and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including applicable rules adopted by the SEC to give effect to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (collectively, the "SEC Requirements").

(2)
An inside director is an officer (other than an officer serving as such in a non-executive capacity) or employee of the Company.

H-50


    The Board will evaluate the performance of the CEO at least annually. The evaluation will be based on criteria which includes the performance of the business and the accomplishment of CEO's qualitative and quantitative objectives as established at the beginning of each fiscal year of the Company, and the creation and fostering within the Company of a culture of integrity.

    The Chairman will work with the CEO to establish the agenda for each Board meeting. Each Board member is free to suggest the inclusion of items on the agenda. Whenever feasible, important issues should be dealt with over the course of two meetings. The first such meeting would allow for a thorough briefing of the Board, and the second would allow for final discussion and a decision.

    The Board will hold at least five meetings per year, one of which shall be principally devoted to strategy. An additional meeting shall be scheduled for approval of the annual proxy circular, annual information form and other annual disclosure documents, as necessary.

    Whenever feasible, the Board will receive materials at least one full weekend in advance of meetings. Presentations on specific subjects at Board meetings will only briefly summarize the material sent so discussion at the meeting can focus on questions and issues. Directors are expected to have reviewed these materials prior to attendance at Board and committee meetings, and are expected to be prepared to engage in meaningful discussion and provide considered, constructive and thoughtful feedback and commentary at meetings.

    Board meeting dates will be established sufficiently in advance (at least one year and longer if practical) to minimize conflict with other commitments on Directors' schedules. Directors are accordingly expected to make every reasonable effort to attend all meetings of the Board and its committees, if not in person then by telephone.

    While the Board does not restrict the number of public company boards that a director may serve on, each director should ensure that he or she is able to devote sufficient time and energy to carrying out their duties effectively.

    The Board encourages the CEO to bring other executive officers into Board meetings. The presence of such executives is expected to bring additional insights into the discussions, because of the executives' personal involvement in, and knowledge of, specific agenda items. The benefit of exposing the Board to other executives, for succession planning and career development purposes, is recognized.

    The Board is responsible for selecting its own members, and for assessing the performance of individual directors, as well as the effectiveness of Board committees and the Board of Directors as a whole. The Board delegates management of the selection processes to the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee has established a policy for director selection. The selection process includes consideration of the competencies and skills the Board, as a whole, should possess, against those of existing directors, and a consideration of the competencies and skills each new nominee will bring to the Board, as well as their ability to devote sufficient time and attention to fulfilling the role of director. The Board ultimately determines nominees that will be included in the Company's management proxy circular.

    The outgoing Chairman of the Board, or in the absence of the outgoing Chairman, a director elected by resolution of the Board, shall manage the process of electing a new Chairman by seeking nominations, determining the willingness of each nominee to take on the role of Chairman of the Board, and by presiding over an election by secret ballot.

    The Board supports the principle that its membership should represent a diversity of backgrounds, experience and skills.

    Succession and management development plans will be reviewed by the HR&CC, and reported on annually to the Board.

    At the conclusion of each Board meeting, the Board of Directors shall meet on an "in camera" basis without management. Such in camera meetings shall be presided over by the independent Chairman. In addition, at least once annually, the independent directors will meet in the absence of both management and non-independent directors.

H-51


    At least once annually, the Board will meet at a Suncor Energy location other than the head office location. The purpose is to facilitate continual exposure of Board members to the Company's operations and the communities in which they are carried out.

Part III: Committee Guidelines

    The Board has four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the HR&CC, and the Environment, Health and Safety Committee ("EH&SC"). From time to time the Board may create ad hoc committees to examine specific issues on behalf of the Board. Each committee maintains a written mandate and reviews that mandate annually. Any recommendations to amend committee mandates are reviewed by the Governance Committee for recommendation to the Board of Directors.

    The Governance Committee, with input from the Chairman of the Board, plans Board committee appointments (including the designation of a committee chair) for recommendation to and appointment by the Board. The committees shall be reconstituted annually following the annual general meeting at which directors are elected by the shareholders of the Company. In accordance with the Company's by-laws, unless otherwise determine by resolution of the Board of Directors, a majority of the members of a committee shall constitute a quorum for meetings of committees.

    Each committee shall be comprised of a minimum of three and a maximum of five directors. Each committee shall have a non-member Secretary who may be a member of management of the Company. The Chair of each committee, in consultation with the committee Secretary, shall determine the agenda for each committee meeting.

    The Board supports the principle that committee Chairs should be rotated regularly while preserving continuity.

    Except where otherwise specified in these terms of reference or in the Company's by-laws, each committee shall have the power to determine its own rules of procedure.

    The Audit Committee will consist entirely of outside, independent directors. In addition, all members of the Audit committee must be, in the judgement of the Board of the Directors, financially literate(2), and at least one member of the Audit Committee must be an audit committee financial expert(3). In general Audit Committee members will not simultaneously be members of the audit committee of more than two other public companies, unless the Board of Directors affirmatively determines that simultaneous service on a greater number of audit committees would not impair the member's ability to effectively serve on Suncor's Audit committee. Any such determination by the Board of Directors shall be disclosed in the Company's management proxy circular.

    The HR&CC will consist entirely of outside, independent directors.

    The Governance Committee shall consist entirely of outside, independent directors.

    The Chairman, by standing invitation, is considered an ex-officio of those committees of the Board of which he is not a listed member.

    At the conclusion of each committee meeting, the committee shall meet on an "in camera" basis without management. Such in camera meetings shall be presided over by the Chair of the committee, if an independent director, or other committee member who is an independent director, as selected by the independent directors on the committee.

H-59



SCHEDULE F: DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE POLICY AND CRITERIA

Background

        Corporate governance guidelines provide that boards should have a majority of independent directors, and that the board chair should be an independent director.

        The purpose of this independence policy and criteria is to state the criteria by which Suncor's Board determines whether each of its directors is or is not independent.

Independence Policy

        Pursuant to the terms of reference for Suncor's Board of Directors, a majority of the Board of Directors must be independent, and in addition, the Audit, Governance and HR&C Committees, shall be comprised solely of independent directors. The Governance Committee will conduct an annual review of the status of each director and director nominee in light of the following criteria for independence, and will recommend to the Board in order that the Board may affirmatively determine the status of each such individual. In making independence determinations, the Board shall consider all relevant facts and circumstances. Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships. The key concern when assessing independence is independence from management.

Independence Criteria

        A director of Suncor will be considered independent only if the Board has affirmatively determined that the director has no material relationship with Suncor, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a material relationship with Suncor. A "material relationship" is one which could, in the view of Suncor's Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the director's independent judgment (CSA National Instrument 52-110).

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director will NOT be considered independent if:

    The director is, or has been within the last three years, an employee or executive officer of the corporation, or an immediate family member(1) is or has been within the last three years, an executive officer, of the corporation.

    The director has received, or an immediate family member has received, during any 12-month period within the last three years, more than $75,000 in direct compensation from Suncor, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service) and other than compensation received by any immediate family member for service as an employee of Suncor (other than an executive officer).

    The director or an immediate family member is a current partner of a firm that is the corporation's internal or external auditor; a director is a current employee of such a firm; or a director's immediate family member is a current employee of such a firm and participates in the firm's audit, assurance or tax compliance (but not tax planning) practice; or a director or an immediate family member who was within the last three years (but is no longer) a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on the corporation's audit within that time. For the purposes of this point ONLY, "immediate family member" means only a spouse, minor child or stepchild, adult child or stepchild sharing a home with the director.

    The director or any immediate family member is or has been within the last three years employed as an executive officer of another corporation where any of Suncor's current executive officers at the same time serve on that corporation's compensation committee.

(1)
Unless otherwise noted, "immediate family member" is defined to include a person's spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers in law, sons and daughters in law, brothers and sisters in law, and anyone other than domestic employees who shares such person's home.

H-60


    The director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a current executive officer, of a corporation that has made payments to, or received payments from, the corporation, for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other corporation's consolidated gross revenues.

    Contributions to tax exempt organizations shall not be considered "payments" for the purposes of these rules, provided that Suncor shall disclose in its proxy circular such contributions made to any tax exempt organization in which a director serves as an executive officer, if within the preceding three years, contributions in any single fiscal year from the corporation to the organization exceeded the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such organization's consolidated gross reserves.

    For Audit Committee members only, in order to be considered independent, a member of an Audit Committee may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors or any other Board committee, accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from Suncor, provided that compensatory fees do not include the receipt of fixed amounts of compensation under a retirement plan (including deferred compensation) for prior service with the corporation provided that such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service; and in addition, shall not be an affiliated person of Suncor or any of its subsidiaries.

        A director of Suncor will not be considered to have a material relationship with Suncor solely because the individual or his or her immediate family member:

    Has previously acted as an interim CEO of Suncor; or

    Acts, or has previously acted, as chair or vice chair of the Board of Directors of any Board committees on a part-time basis; or

    Sits on the Board of Directors or as a trustee or in an equivalent capacity, of another corporation, firm or other entity, which has a business relationship with Suncor, provided that the individual's remuneration from the other entity is not personally material to that individual, the individual is not involved in negotiating, managing, administering or approving contracts between Suncor and the other entity, and the individual otherwise is in compliance with the Board's conflict of interest policy with respect to contracts between Suncor and that other entity.

I-2



NOMINEES FOR ELECTION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

        Petro-Canada Shareholders will be voting to elect 11 directors (each, a "Director") at the Meeting. Petro-Canada's Articles require the Board to have between nine and 13 Directors. Resolutions of the Board of Directors of Petro-Canada set the number of Directors of the company from time to time (including the nominees for election as Directors at the Meeting). The Petro-Canada Board has passed a resolution proposing the nominees for election to the Board. Between annual meetings, the Board of Directors may appoint additional Directors, as the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommends. Nominees for the Board of Directors will be elected for a term expiring at the earlier of the completion of the Arrangement and the next annual meeting of Petro-Canada Shareholders, or until their successors are duly elected or appointed. The Board of Directors has adopted a majority voting policy.

        Below are the names and biographies of the nominees for election as Directors. The Board has exceptionally strong experience in leading growth, participating in the oil and gas industry, both internationally and domestically, and board governance. All Directors, except Mr. Brenneman, are independent. Those named in the enclosed form of proxy ("Proxy Form") intend to vote FOR these nominees unless authority to do so is withheld. Management does not expect that any of these nominees will be unable to serve as a Director; however, if that occurs, those named in the Proxy Form may vote for another nominee, unless the shareholder has directed that the shares be withheld from voting in the election of Directors.

COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

2008 Compensation

        The compensation of Petro-Canada's Board of Directors is intended to attract highly qualified Directors who are able to meet the demanding responsibilities of being Board members, and is structured in a way that encourages Directors to act in the long-term interest of Petro-Canada. On a regular basis, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee retains an outside consultant, Towers, Perrin, Forster & Crosby Inc. ("Towers Perrin") to assess the competitiveness of Director and chair of the board (the "Chair of the Board") compensation arrangements using a similar process and approach as is used in assessing competitiveness of executive pay (e.g. market comparators and target pay philosophy). The last comprehensive review was undertaken in the fall of 2007, was updated in the summer of 2008 and is reflected in the compensation structure outlined below.

        Only non-employee Directors are compensated for Board services; the President and Chief Executive Officer is not paid for his services as a Director.

Deferred Stock Unit (DSU) Plan of Petro-Canada

Once he/she has reached the share ownership guideline level, a Director may annually elect to take his/her compensation in the form of cash, Common Shares and/or DSUs. If the share ownership guidelines are not satisfied, then $70,000 of his/her compensation is delivered in DSUs. A Director who is not a Canadian resident and has not reached the guideline level may choose to receive his/her compensation in cash, with the requirement that they must purchase and retain a minimum of $70,000 in Common Shares on the market during the year.

Once he/she has reached the share ownership guideline level, the Chair of the Board of Directors may annually elect to take his/her compensation in the form of cash, Common Shares and/or DSUs. If the share ownership guidelines are not satisfied then $75,000 of his/her compensation is delivered in DSUs. A Chair who is not a Canadian resident and has not reached the guideline level may choose to receive his/her compensation in cash, with the requirement that they must purchase and retain a minimum of $70,000 in Common Shares on the market during the year.

Under Petro-Canada's DSU Plan, dividend equivalents are used to purchase additional DSUs and are credited to the Directors' notional DSU accounts on a quarterly basis.

A Director is entitled to the benefit of his/her DSUs upon ceasing to be a Director. The Director can then choose to receive the value of the DSUs granted after December 31, 2003 in the form of Common Shares purchased on the open market or in the form of cash at any time, but no later than the end of the first calendar year following retirement. Directors that are tax filers in the U.S. may choose to receive the value of the DSUs granted after December 31, 2003 in the form of Common Shares purchased on the open market or in the form of cash at any time up to 15 days prior to the end of the six months following retirement. The value of DSUs granted before January 1, 2004 can only be paid out in the form of Common Shares purchased on the open market.

The DSU value will be based on the five-day average market price of the Common Shares immediately before the conversion of the DSUs to cash or Common Shares. If a Director chooses or is required to receive Common Shares, the value of his/her DSU entitlement is used to purchase Common Shares on the open market for the benefit of the Director. Petro-Canada covers the brokerage costs associated with acquiring these shares.

2009 Compensation

        No changes to the non-employee Director or Chair of the Board compensation are anticipated for 2009.

Share Ownership Guidelines

As of January 1, 2008, Petro-Canada increased the share ownership guidelines for the Board. The 2007 guidelines required each non-employee Director to hold Common Shares or share equivalents equal in value to $300,000. These guidelines were increased to require each non-employee Director to hold Common Shares or share equivalents equal in value to at least three times the annual retainer ($420,000 for Directors and $1,095,000 for the Chair of the Board).

As of December 9, 2008, Directors will have until December 31, 2011 or the fifth anniversary (if later) of having been appointed a Director to establish the required share ownership status. In addition, the test used to determine the Total Market Value of Common Shares and DSUs is based on the greater of purchase price, grant price or market value for the shares/units held by that Director. Common Shares held notionally in the DSU Plan count toward a Director's holdings for this purpose.

As of December 31, 2008, all non-employee Directors who joined the Board before 2006 had attained their share ownership guidelines; Mr. Brenninkmeyer has until July 1, 2013 and Mr. Valot has until July 1, 2012 to attain their ownership guidelines.

Non-employee Directors cannot participate in Petro-Canada's stock option plan.


COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

        The Management Resources and Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") is made up entirely of independent Directors and reports to the Board on human resources matters. The Compensation Committee which consists of Claude Fontaine (Chair), Thomas E. Kierans, Guylaine Saucier, James W. Simpson and Brian F. MacNeill (ex-officio member), reviews and recommends compensation, pension and benefit practices, and management development and succession plans to the Board. Key focus areas are President and Chief Executive Officer and executive officer performance, succession and recruitment. The Charter of the Compensation Committee can be found on Petro-Canada's website at www.petro-canada.ca.

I-12


        The Compensation Committee met seven times in 2008 and held in-camera sessions during each meeting. Key Compensation Committee activities in 2008 were:

Chief Executive Officer compensation;

assessed the Chief Executive Officer goals/objectives;

assessed Chief Executive Officer performance; and

reviewed and recommended Chief Executive Officer compensation including base salary, annual incentive and mid- and long-term incentives;

Executive staffing, development and compensation;

reviewed performance assessments of the members of the Executive Leadership Team ("ELT");

reviewed and recommended annual compensation for the members of the ELT;

reviewed and recommended 2008 annual incentive payouts to the members of the ELT;

reviewed and recommended mid- and long-term incentive grants to members of the ELT; and

reviewed succession plans for all executive positions;

Compensation programs and structure;

sponsored an education session for the full Board of Directors related to current trends in executive compensation;

approved the performance targets for the 2008 annual incentive program;

Management Proxy Circular;

reviewed and approved the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

Compensation Philosophy

        Petro-Canada's success depends on its ability to attract, retain and motivate high performing employees at all levels of the organization. The company regularly reviews its compensation policies relative to these objectives.

        The Compensation Committee reviews overall compensation policies and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors on the compensation programs for the executive officers of Petro-Canada, including the Named Executive Officers (see Summary Compensation Table on page I-28). Compensation programs are designed to:

attract, retain and motivate key personnel;

encourage commitment to Petro-Canada and its goals;

align executive officer interests with interests of shareholders; and

reward executive officers for demonstrated leadership and for performance related to predetermined and quantifiable goals.

        When developing the total compensation structure for executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers information it acquires through third-party compensation surveys, which compares the compensation paid for similar positions in a comparator group of companies that compete with Petro-Canada for executive talent. The comparator group for Canadian executive officers consists of major Canadian oil and gas companies and other large Canadian industrial and resource companies with a reasonable degree of autonomy. The

I-13



primary reference group is energy sector specific and includes BP Canada, Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., Canadian Oil Sands Limited, Chevron Canada Resources, EnCana Corporation, ExxonMobil Canada, Husky Energy Inc., Imperial Oil Limited, Nexen Inc., Shell Canada Limited, Suncor Energy Inc., Syncrude Canada Limited and Talisman Energy Inc. This group was selected because its members are similar to Petro-Canada in size, scope and complexity. It includes Canadian oil and gas companies with both upstream and downstream operations, as well as larger exploration and production companies.

        If a general industry perspective is required, a larger group, which includes Abitibi Bowater, Agrium Inc., Barrick Gold Corporation, BCE Inc., Bombardier, Canadian National Railway, Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., Canadian Oil Sands Limited, Canadian Pacific Railway Limited, Canadian Tire Corporation Limited, Canfor Corporation, Celestica Inc., CGI Group Inc., Domtar Corporation, Enbridge Inc., EnCana Corporation, Finning International Inc., Husky Energy Inc., Imperial Oil Limited, Irving Oil Limited, Maple Leaf Foods Inc., McCain Foods Limited, Nexen Inc., Nortel, NOVA Chemicals, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc., Research In Motion Ltd., SNC-LAVALIN, Suncor Energy Inc., Syncrude Canada Limited, Talisman Energy Inc., Teck, Transat A.T. Inc. and TransCanada Corp., is used.

        Compensation programs are designed to deliver competitive base salaries and incentive payments when corporate, business unit and individual performance meet specific, predetermined objectives. These programs also provide an opportunity for top quartile pay relative to Petro-Canada's comparator groups, when an executive officer delivers superior performance. Competitiveness of the compensation structure is assessed regularly, using compensation surveys conducted by the independent consulting firm, Towers Perrin, and supplemented by competitive survey information from other consulting firms, as required.

        Towers Perrin is retained by the Compensation Committee to provide expertise and advice in regard to executive compensation. This includes advising on compensation policies, as well as the design and implementation of executive compensation programs for the Compensation Committee's review and approval. Towers Perrin periodically updates the Compensation Committee on executive compensation "best practices" and trends in executive compensation. Towers Perrin is also retained by Petro-Canada to provide advice on pensions, including actuarial pension advice, and on its health and welfare programs.

        As a result of the broad relationship, the Compensation Committee has agreed with Towers Perrin on a formal mandate that outlines Towers Perrin's role and terms of reference as an independent advisor to the Compensation Committee. An important feature includes a clear reporting relationship between the Towers Perrin executive compensation consultant and the Compensation Committee. Additional work by the consultant for Petro-Canada is documented in the "Letter of Independence" and reviewed by the Compensation Committee Chair. There are also assurances that the executive compensation consultants have an internal reporting relationship and compensation, which are determined separately from those Towers Perrin and Petro-Canada activities that are not connected to executive compensation. The Compensation Committee annually reviews these processes. In 2008, Towers Perrin's fees for executive compensation services to the Compensation Committee were $398,224. In 2008, Towers Perrin also earned $1,387,419 by providing pension and benefit consulting, administration and actuarial services to Petro-Canada. From time to time, the Compensation Committee will access the services of other consultants as occurred in the autumn of 2008 when Hugessen Consulting Incorporated ("Hugessen") was retained by the Compensation Committee to provide it with independent advice regarding proposed upgrades to the mid- and long-term incentive program. Hugessen is not engaged in providing ongoing consulting services and does not provide advice to Petro-Canada on any other matters. Hugessen was paid $98,522 for the services, which were provided from December 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, inclusive.

        The compensation structure for executive officers consists of a base salary, plus significant pay-at-risk. Pay-at-risk is made up of an annual incentive, as well as mid- and long-term incentives (stock options, Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs"), Performance Stock Units ("PSUs") and Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs")).

Base Salary

        Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews each Named Executive Officer's base salary and makes adjustments based on the position's duties and responsibilities, the degree of special skill and knowledge required, and the performance and contribution of the officer. For reference, the Compensation Committee uses the median base salaries for positions with similar responsibilities in its comparator groups, which consist of major Canadian oil and gas companies and other large Canadian industrial and resource companies with a reasonable degree of autonomy, and are described under the Compensation Philosophy section on page I-13.

Annual Incentive Program

        Awards paid under the annual incentive program are based on the degree of achievement of specific predetermined corporate, business unit and individual objectives. Each executive officer is assigned a target incentive level that represents the amount that would be paid if all objectives were achieved at planned levels. If planned results are not achieved or are exceeded, actual payments could vary from zero to double the target award for corporate and business unit performance and from zero to triple the target award for individual performance. In 2008, target awards ranged from 55% to 80% of base salary, depending on the level of the executive officer. The highest target was for the President and Chief Executive Officer.

    0     60%     132%     220%  

Senior Vice-President

    0     55%     121%     220%  

        The 2008 annual incentive award depended on performance at the corporate, business unit and individual levels as follows:

30% corporate performance;

50% business operating measures; and

I-15


20% personal performance.

        Corporate performance has a profit-sharing focus and is based on earnings from operations, which is a key measure of corporate performance.

        Business operating measures are connected to controllable objectives and drive excellence in operations. Each business unit has operating measures tied to the business objectives. Examples of these measures include such items as safety, reliability, production volumes and operating costs. Scores for each measure were aggregated to a total business unit score for the senior executive responsible for that unit. The score for the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer was the average of the results of all business units.

        The remaining 20% of each target award is based on the assessment of the executive officer's individual performance against personal objectives. The Compensation Committee assesses the performance of the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also considers and reviews the assessment of the performance of the other executives as proposed by the President and Chief Executive Officer.

        Executive officers may elect to convert a portion of their annual incentive into DSUs under the DSU Plan established for key employees. This plan links short-term cash incentive awards to the future value of the Common Shares.

        Executive officers who elect to convert a portion of their annual incentive into DSUs must do so by December 31 of the year preceding payment. For U.S. tax payers, the election is required in writing by June 30 of the year preceding payment.

Mid- and Long-Term Incentive Plan

        The mid- and long-term incentives are designed to:

link executive compensation with the creation of shareholder value;

align the interests of executive officers with those of Petro-Canada's shareholders; and

reward executive officers for achievement relative to peer companies.

        The Compensation Committee uses its discretion to grant these awards and considers data for similar positions and companies as a reference point. Starting in 2006, the Compensation Committee used a binomial valuation model to estimate the value of mid- and long-term incentive awards. In setting yearly awards, the Compensation Committee considers the number and value of awards granted in the previous year, the competitiveness of the overall compensation structure and individual performance. The Board of Directors reviews the expected values of the proposed mid- and long-term incentive awards against competitive data. The expected value of these awards is determined with the assistance of the external consultant.

        Petro-Canada employs a variety of mid- and long-term incentive vehicles, including PSUs, stock options, SARs and DSUs depending on the prevailing market practice and objective in providing the incentive.

        The Compensation Committee sets the date for granting of mid- and long-term incentives in advance. The grant date complies with applicable securities agencies regulatory standards and Petro-Canada's Code of Business Conduct. The date also aligns with the timing of performance assessments and other compensation decisions. This timing is important because performance assessments significantly impact not only mid- and long-term incentive grants but, also, other aspects of executive officer compensation, including base salary changes and annual incentive awards.

        The Board of Directors believes mid- and long-term awards enable Petro-Canada to promote employee commitment and to retain the key employees necessary for its long-term success.

        Non-employee Directors are not eligible to participate in the employee incentive plans.

I-16


PSUs

        PSUs are a form of mid-term incentive that rewards participants for Petro-Canada's performance against specific performance standards. The Compensation Committee uses its discretion to select and attach performance standards to PSUs. Relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") is the measure that has been employed since 2004. In 2009, specific operating measures were incorporated into the performance standards to complement the relative TSR and ensure focus on effective, efficient and safe operations, with 50% of the PSUs awarded based on relative TSR and the remaining 50% based on operating measures. These operating measures are production volume, reliability, and environment and safety.

Stock Options

        Stock options are awarded to employees at the senior management level and above as a form of long-term incentive compensation. The employee stock options awarded by Petro-Canada in 2008 convey the right to purchase Common Shares at a predetermined exercise price, have a maximum exercise period of seven years and vest at the rate of 25% per year over a four-year period from the date of grant. The exercise price per option cannot be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the day preceding the day the stock options were granted. The Stock Option Plan provides for either 1) a cash payment to participants equal to the appreciation in Petro-Canada's share price between the date the options are granted and the date they are exercised; or 2) the purchase of the share.

SARs

        In January 2007, the Board of Directors approved Petro-Canada's SAR Plan, which provides for the granting of SARs to employees (including executive officers) of Petro-Canada and its subsidiaries. Petro-Canada can choose to grant SARs to such employees instead of stock options for any long-term incentive grants made.

        The SAR Plan provides a cash payment to participants equal to the appreciation in Petro-Canada's share price between the date the SARs are granted and the date the SARs are exercised. The SARs granted in 2008 have a maximum exercise period of seven years and vest at a rate of 25% per year over four years from the date of the grant. All SARs are non-transferable and non-assignable, and exercisable on terms determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion at the time the SARs are granted. The exercise price per SAR cannot be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the day preceding the day the SARs are granted.

DSUs

        The DSU Plan provides a cash payment to participants equal to the value of the average TSX closing price of the Common Shares for the five days immediately before the award is payable.

        All DSUs are non-transferable and non-assignable, and exercisable upon leaving Petro-Canada's employ. DSUs earn dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs at the same rate as dividends on Common Shares. The value of the DSUs, when converted to cash, will equal the five-day average TSX closing price of the Common Shares immediately before the conversion. All payments are made in cash unless, at Petro-Canada's discretion, an exception is made and payment takes the form of Common Shares issued from treasury net of applicable withholdings.

        From time to time, the Compensation Committee may make special awards of DSUs to recognize an executive officer's achievement. When determining the value of any of these special awards, the Compensation Committee considers the value of the total mid- and long-term incentive compensation received by the executive officer as compared with competitive compensation levels. In 2006, the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice-President Downstream and Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer received special DSU awards, which have been included in the calculation of total compensation presented in the Summary Compensation Table on page I-28.

I-17


Share Ownership Guidelines

        To encourage share ownership by executive officers, Petro-Canada has guidelines requiring shareholdings, including DSUs, worth at least the following amounts:

for the President and Chief Executive Officer, four times base salary;

for executive and senior vice-presidents, two times base salary; and

for other officers, one times base salary.

        The President and Chief Executive Officer must maintain the required ownership level for 12 months after leaving Petro-Canada. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews officers' actual shareholdings for compliance with the guidelines. The Compensation Committee also reviews guidelines for consistency with competitive standards.

        In October 2008, additional time was provided to achieve the required share ownership for those officers who had attained their respective Common Share ownership requirement or who, in the assessment of the President and Chief Executive Officer, were on track to attain their respective Common Share ownership requirement, but, due to the downturn of the equity market, had lost that status. It was determined that these officers shall have until the later of January 1, 2011 or the fifth anniversary of having been appointed an officer of Petro-Canada to re-establish the required Common Share ownership status. In addition, the test used to determine whether any officer has attained the required Common Share ownership status has been clarified to be based on the greater of purchase price, grant price or market value for the Common Shares or share equivalents held by that officer.

2008 Executive Officer Compensation

        The Compensation Committee reviews the compensation paid to the President and Chief Executive Officer as well as other executive officers at the comparator companies to determine the competitiveness of compensation provided to Messrs. Brenneman, Jackman, Roberts, Kallos and Camarta. The Compensation Committee also carefully assesses both the financial and non-financial components of each officer's performance. Petro-Canada's compensation structure for its executive officers contains significant pay-at-risk components, with a major portion of this total compensation delivered through performance-driven variable pay and equity-based compensation programs (see page I-30).

        The 2008 annual incentive award depended on performance at the corporate, business unit and individual levels as follows:

30% corporate performance;

50% business operating measures; and

20% personal performance.

        This annual incentive award reflects the following achievements:

The year 2008 was an excellent one for Petro-Canada in terms of overall financial results, with robust operating earnings and cash flow and a very strong balance sheet;

Petro-Canada's programs for leadership development, succession planning and performance management continued to build a strong effective organization for the future. In 2008, Petro-Canada hired 951 new employees, addressing the need to attract people to achieve business goals. In addition, safety remained a top priority, resulting in a Total Recordable Injury Frequency ("TRIF") of 0.73 in 2008, under the 1.0 level considered first quartile in the industry. Unfortunately, Petro-Canada did not fare as well in the area of environmental exceedances, which increased in 2008 to 43 compared with 21 in 2007;

Petro-Canada strives towards:

Driving for first quartile operations (see table on page I-21);

Delivering profitable growth with a focus on long-life assets (see table on page I-22);

Maintaining financial discipline and flexibility (see table on page I-24); and

Following Petro-Canada's Principles for Responsible Investment and Operations (see table on page I-25).

I-19


Within these broad objectives, Petro-Canada set two priorities in 2008:

to meet base business targets. By year end, Petro-Canada delivered upstream production in line with updated guidance of 400,000 to 420,000 boe/d, and facilities operated safely and reliably, and

to advance seven major growth projects. By year end, Petro-Canada advanced its major growth projects. Highlights include completing construction of the Edmonton Refinery Conversion Project ("RCP"), making a final investment decision for the Syria Ebla gas development and signing six new Exploration and Production Sharing Agreements ("EPSAs") in Libya.

Although there were significant challenges due to the volatile business environment, refinery reliability and union activity, Petro-Canada's business units had many successes, as illustrated in the following tables.

2008 Annual Incentive Performance Scores

        The table below highlights the 2008 performance scores under the annual incentive plan for corporate and business unit performance. If the target level of performance is achieved, participants receive a payout of 100% of their target award opportunity for the related performance measure. Actual payouts can vary from 0 to two times target depending on performance. The scores outlined below reflect the 2008 actual performance results, expressed as a percentage of the target payout level (i.e., 100%).

2009 Executive Officer Compensation Highlights

        In response to the economic environment, the base salaries of Petro-Canada's executive officers are not being increased in 2009. The mid- and long-term incentive program has been revised to better align with Petro-Canada's strategy. The program continues to consist of equal portions of stock options/SARs and PSUs. Performance measures have been improved so that 50% of the PSUs are measured against relative TSR and the remaining 50% are measured against the following operating targets, production volumes, operating reliability and safety and environment.

The exercise price of the stock options / SARs is $24.88 per share, based on the market price of Common Shares on the date prior to the grant date.

Stock Performance Graph

        The following graph charts performance of an investment in Common Shares against each of the S&P/TSX Composite Index and the S&P/TSX Energy Index, assuming an investment of $100 on December 31, 2003, and accumulation and reinvestment of all dividends paid from that date through December 31, 2008. As a significant portion of remuneration is equity based, pay provided to the Named Executive Officers has been consistent with the Common Share price performance and the current economic environment. In particular, the last five years of option awards have no intrinsic value as at December 31, 2008 and all previous and outstanding PSU awards have either not paid out, or are currently tracking at zero. In addition, executive salaries have not been increased for 2009.

Total Compensation

        In the following table, Total Compensation is the sum of base salary, cash bonus, equity incentives (SARs, PSUs, DSUs and stock options), pension, perquisites and all other compensation. The pension value reported is the annual pension service cost plus the impact on the accrued obligation of any higher than expected (or lower than expected) increases in salary, with such impact measured at the end of the year. The values for the various elements of long-term compensation are theoretical expected values calculated at the date of grant. Realized values are determined when the incentives are payable to the executive officer. For example, the President and Chief Executive Officer's PSU grants made in 2006 showed a value of $1,943,280 as at grant date, but vested on March 1, 2009 with a realized value of $0.00. The grant made to the President and Chief Executive Officer in 2007 which vests on February 23, 2010, showed a value of $2,663,505 as at grant date, but on April 10, 2009 the estimated value was $393,495.

Summary Compensation Table

        The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, the compensation of Petro-Canada's President and Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer and each of the three most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers on December 31, 2008. These executive officers are collectively referred to in this Appendix as the Named Executive Officers.

DSUs awarded:

In 2006, an aggregate amount of 40,000 DSUs was awarded to Messrs. Brenneman, Jackman and Roberts (25,000, 10,000 and 5,000, respectively).

The values disclosed in the DSU column are based on the previous five-day average market value of Common Shares from March 1, 2006 of $52.59.

Dividend equivalents are used to purchase additional DSUs and are credited on a quarterly basis.

This table excludes DSUs acquired by converting annual incentive awards into DSUs. The values for the DSUs are theoretical-expected values calculated at the date of grant. Realized values are determined when the incentives are payable to the executive officer.

I-28


(3)
PSUs awarded:

In 2008, an aggregate amount of 140,000 PSUs was awarded to Named Executive Officers as follows: Mr. Brenneman — 65,000; Mr. Jackman — 20,000; Mr. Roberts — 20,000; Mr. Kallos — 20,000; and Mr. Camarta — 15,000.

In 2007, an aggregate amount of 140,000 PSUs was awarded to Named Executive Officers as follows: Mr. Brenneman — 75,000; Mr. Jackman — 20,000; Mr. Roberts — 20,000; Mr. Kallos — 12,000; and Mr. Camarta — 13,000.

In 2006, an aggregate amount of 88,750 PSUs was awarded to the Named Executive Officers as follows: Mr. Brenneman — 45,000; Mr. Jackman — 12,500; Mr. Roberts — 12,500; Mr. Kallos — 10,000; and Mr. Camarta — 8,750.

The values disclosed in the PSU column are stated by using a binomial valuation model based on the previous 20-day average market value of Common Shares. Values at award are:

February 22, 2008 = $45.79;

February 23, 2007 = $45.53; and

March 1, 2006 = $53.98.

Value as at December 31, 2008 is zero.

Dividend equivalents are used to purchase additional PSUs and are credited on a quarterly basis.

(4)
Option-based awards awarded:

In 2008, an aggregate amount of 482,000 option/SARs based awards was awarded to Named Executive Officers as follows: Mr. Brenneman — 202,000; Mr. Jackman — 75,000; Mr. Roberts — 75,000; Mr. Kallos — 75,000; and Mr. Camarta — 55,000.

In 2007, an aggregate amount of 470,000 option/SARs based awards was awarded to Named Executive Officers as follows: Mr. Brenneman — 225,000; Mr. Jackman — 75,000; Mr. Roberts — 75,000; Mr. Kallos — 45,000; and Mr. Camarta — 50,000.

In 2006, an aggregate amount of 355,000 option-based awards was awarded to the Named Executive Officers as follows: Mr. Brenneman — 180,000; Mr. Jackman — 50,000; Mr. Roberts — 50,000; Mr. Kallos — 40,000; and Mr. Camarta — 35,000.

The values for the stock options/SARs are theoretical-expected values calculated at the date of grant using the binomial methodology. The Compensation Committee uses the binomial methodology in making its decisions regarding mid- and long-term incentive grant levels since it is applied consistently in its consultant's competitive market analyses. Realized values are determined when the incentives are payable to the executive officer. In response to competitive data, on July 28, 2008, Mr. Kallos was awarded 30,000 SARs in addition to his February 22, 2008 award of 45,000 SARs. Values at award are:

July 28, 2008 = $47.50;

February 22, 2008 = $47.13;

February 23, 2007 = $43.96; and

March 1, 2006 = $52.06.

Value as at December 31, 2008 is $26.72; this is less than the grant price and therefore at December 31, 2008 the options have no value.

For accounting purposes, the value of each option granted is determined based on the intrinsic value method on the date of grants. This would result in no expense being recorded as the exercise price per option cannot be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the day before the options are granted.

(5)
For 2008, Mr. Kallos elected to take $89,480 and Mr. Camarta elected to take 100%, respectively, of their annual incentive awards in the form of DSUs. For 2007, Mr. Kallos elected to take $98,000 and Mr. Camarta elected to take 100%, respectively, of their annual incentive awards in the form of DSUs. For 2006, Mr. Kallos elected to take $114,120, and Mr. Camarta elected to take 100%, respectively, of their annual incentive awards in the form of DSUs. (See Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Mid- and Long-Term Incentive Plan — DSUs on page I-16).

(6)
The pension value for 2008 and restated for 2007 and 2006 reflects the amount of employer contributions made to defined contribution pension accounts for Messrs. Brenneman and Camarta. For Messrs. Jackman, Kallos and Roberts the pension value reflects the defined benefit pension annual service cost plus the impact on the value of already-earned benefits of any higher than expected (or lower than expected) increases in pensionable earnings. Annual service cost is the value of the projected pension earned for the year of service credited for the specific financial year. For comparability and consistency, the service cost and the impact of higher than expected (or lower than expected) changes in pensionable earnings are determined using the same actuarial methods and assumptions as for Petro-Canada's financial statements.

I-29


(7)
Other compensation:

For Messrs. Brenneman, Jackman, Roberts and Camarta, these amounts represented Petro-Canada's contributions under the Petro-Canada Capital Accumulation Plan, Health Care Spending Account and Group Life Insurance Plan. For Mr. Kallos, they represented the contributions under the Petro-Canada Capital Accumulation Plan and premiums paid toward coverage under life insurance, health and dental plans. Also included for:

Mr. Brenneman:

the amount included $27,990 for a leased vehicle and $42,031 for financial counselling in 2008;

the amount included $30,277 for a leased vehicle and $40,499 for financial counselling in 2007; and

the amount included $30,982 for a leased vehicle and $33,562 for financial counselling in 2006.

Mr. Jackman:

imputed interest on company loans in 2007 and 2006; the loan was paid out in full in 2007.

Mr. Kallos:

amounts were restated in 2008, 2007, and 2006 to represent increased life insurance premiums and in 2007 to reflect a repayment in 2006 of his supplemental retirement allowance of $146,026 (£63,979) as a result of changes in the United Kingdom ("U.K.") maximum pension allowance.

Except for Mr. Brenneman in 2008, 2007, and 2006, the aggregate amount of perquisites and other personal benefits did not exceed the lesser of $50,000 and 10% of the total of the annual salary and annual incentive for each Named Executive Officer.

(8)
For Mr. Kallos, the December 31 exchange rate was used to calculate British pounds to Canadian dollars. The British pounds sterling exchange rate from Canadian dollars at calendar year end was:

1.7896 on December 31, 2008;

1.9600 on December 31, 2007; and

2.2824 on December 31, 2006.

Equity Compensation Plans

        Petro-Canada has an option plan (the "Option Plan"), which provides for the granting of options to purchase Common Shares to employees (including executive officers) and its subsidiaries. In 2007, Petro-Canada introduced the SAR Plan which provides for the granting of SARs to employees (including executive officers) and its subsidiaries. Stock options and SARs are integral components of the compensation and incentive program for employees. Non-employee Directors are not eligible to participate in the Option Plan or SAR Plan. In 2004, Petro-Canada introduced the PSU Plan.

        In 2008, approximately 50% of Petro-Canada's competitive mid- and long-term incentive pay for Named Executive Officers was awarded through stock options or SARs and approximately 50% was awarded through the PSU Plan (described under the heading Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Mid- and Long-Term Incentive Plan on page I-16). DSU special awards may also be made from time to time to recognize the achievement of an executive officer. Select employees not in senior management were also granted SARs to recognize exceptional performance and encourage long-term commitment to Petro-Canada and its objectives.

Terms of the Option Plan

        Since 2004, options granted under the Option Plan have a term of seven years and vest at a rate of 25% per year over four years from the date of initial grant. Each option granted before 2004 under the Option Plan has a maximum term of ten years. All options are non-transferable and non-assignable, and exercisable on terms determined by the Compensation Committee at the time the option is granted. The exercise price per Common Share cannot be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the day preceding the day the option is granted. Subject to obtaining the required regulatory or other approvals, the Option Plan provides that majority consent of option holders is required for certain changes to be made to the Option Plan or to outstanding options, which would materially adversely affect the rights of option holders. The Compensation Committee may make administrative adjustments to keep holders neutral if the share structure of Petro-Canada was altered.

I-30


        The Option Plan provides that the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any one option holder cannot exceed 5% of the total number of Common Shares outstanding at the time of grant. The maximum number of Common Shares that can be issued to insiders when combined with any other share compensation arrangement is 10% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding. Unless otherwise determined at the time of grant, settlement of the options awarded are as follows (1) in the event of the death of an option holder, all options shall immediately vest with one year to exercise or until the normal expiry date if earlier, (2) in the event of voluntary retirement of an option holder, options shall continue to vest on the original schedule and may be exercised after vesting for up to four years after retirement or until the normal expiry date, if earlier, (3) in the event of the termination without cause of the option holder's employment, options vested on the effective date of the termination may be exercised within the earlier of 90 days of the effective date of termination or the normal expiry date and all other options expire immediately and (4) in the event of the termination with cause of the option holder's employment or voluntary resignation (other than at retirement), all options expire immediately.

        In 2004, shareholders approved an amendment to the Option Plan to include a Cash Payment Alternative ("CPA"). The CPA gives the Board of Directors the authority to offer holders of options granted after December 31, 2003 the right to surrender vested options for cancellation in return for a direct cash payment from Petro-Canada. This change reduces the dilutive effects of such grants and provides option holders with essentially the same value as they would realize in exercising their options and immediately selling the Common Shares issued upon exercise. Common Shares subject to any option surrendered using the CPA feature are available for future options granted under the Option Plan, as is the case for expired or cancelled options that have not been exercised.

Terms of the SARs Plan

        SARs are based on the price of Common Shares as at the date of the grant. SARs have a term of seven years and vest at a rate of 25% per year over four years from the date of initial grant. All SARs are non-transferable and non-assignable, and exercisable on terms determined by the Compensation Committee at the time the SARs are granted. Unless otherwise determined at the time of grant, settlement of the SARs awarded to employees residing outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") are as follows (1) in the event of death of a SARs holder all rights immediately vest with one year to exercise or until the normal expiry date if earlier, (2) in the event of voluntary retirement all rights continue to vest on the original schedule and may be exercised after vesting for up to four years after retirement or until the normal expiry date, if earlier, (3) in the event of the termination without cause of the SARs holder's employment, rights that are vested on the effective date of termination may be exercised during the following 90 days or until the normal expiry date, if earlier, and all other SARs expire immediately and (4) in the event of the termination with cause of the SARs holder's employment or voluntary resignation (other than at retirement) all rights expire immediately.

        Unless otherwise determined at the time of grant, settlement of the SARs awarded to employees residing within the EEA are as follows (1) in the event of death of a SARs holder, all rights immediately vest with one year to exercise or until the normal expiry date if earlier, (2) in the event of termination without cause of the SARs holder's employment or voluntary retirement or voluntary resignation treatment of the SARs is based on management discretion up to the terms described above under SARs outside the EEA and (3) in the event of the termination with cause of the SARs holder's employment all rights expire immediately.

I-31


Terms of the PSU Plan

        In 2004, Petro-Canada introduced the PSU Plan. The PSU Plan has a three year performance period. Payment of the award is in cash and is dependent on achieving specific performance targets. Payments range from 0% of award to 150% of award as determined by performance achieved. Unless otherwise determined at the time of grant, settlement of the PSUs awarded to employees residing outside the EEA are as follows (1) in the event of the death of a PSU holder, a portion of the award pro-rated based on the portion of the performance period that the individual was employed will be paid (2) in the event of termination without cause of the PSU holder's employment or voluntary retirement a portion of the award pro-rated based on the portion of the performance period that the individual was employed may be granted by management and (3) in the event of the termination with cause of the PSU holder's employment or voluntary resignation (other than at retirement), all PSUs expire immediately.

        Unless otherwise determined at the time of grant, settlement of the PSUs awarded to employees residing within the EEA are as follows (1) in the event of death of a PSU holder, a portion of the award pro-rated based on the portion of the performance period that the individual was employed will be paid, (2) in the event of termination without cause of a PSU holder's employment or voluntary retirement or voluntary resignation a portion of the award pro-rated based on the portion of the performance period that the individual was employed may be granted by management and (3) in the event of the termination with cause of the PSU holder's employment, all PSUs expire immediately.

Incentive Plan Awards

        In 2006, 2007, and 2008 the Compensation Committee approved mid- and long-term incentive awards to Named Executive Officers. When approving these awards, the Compensation Committee used a binomial valuation model to determine the desired level of compensation to be awarded to each executive officer relative to their performance and the compensation of other executive officers in the comparator group. The expected value ("EV") of these mid- and long-term incentives is disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page I-28. The chart below compares this expected value to the value of the incentives as at December 31, 2008 for the President and Chief Executive Officer. Stock Option awards granted in 2006, 2007 and 2008 have no intrinsic value at December 31, 2008 and PSU awards have either not paid out (2006) or are currently tracking at zero (2007 and 2008). The chart clearly shows the direct relationship between company share price performance and the President and Chief Executive Officer's compensation. This same relationship between expected value and current value exists for all of the Named Executive Officers' mid- and long-term compensation.

(1)
Reflects the accrued unreduced retirement benefit earned to December 31, 2008 based on credited service and actual salary history to December 31, 2008, after any offset for Canada/Quebec Pension Plan and Old Age Security benefits. If Petro-Canada's consent to retire were granted, the value of the frozen accrued retirement benefits, after any applicable adjustments for early retirement, would be $5,212,000 for Mr. Jackman and $4,282,000 for Mr. Roberts. The frozen accrued value has been determined using actuarial assumptions similar to those underlying the calculation of the accrued obligations disclosed in succeeding columns, except that it does not reflect the projection of earnings and other contingencies that would be included for corporate financial reporting and which are reflected in the accrued obligations disclosed in succeeding columns.

(2)
Reflects the projected pension at Age 65 based on credited service projected to Age 65 coupled with actual salary history to December 31, 2008, after any offset for Canada/Quebec Pension Plan and Old Age Security benefits.

(3)
The accrued obligation is the value of projected retirement benefits earned for service to December 31, 2007 (for start of year) or December 31, 2008 (for end of year). The accrued obligations and changes therein were determined using the same actuarial methods and assumptions as Petro-Canada's financial statements. Mr. Jackman's was restated to reflect a correction in his calculation due to his 10 years of industry service valued at 2.0%.

(4)
Reflects the annual service cost plus the impact on the accrued obligation of any higher than expected (or lower than expected) increases in salary plus bonus. There were no plan changes during the year.

(5)
Includes ten years of industry service granted to Mr. Jackman at date of hire.

(6)
Includes five years of industry service granted to Mr. Roberts at January 20, 2000.

        Messrs. Jackman and Roberts are covered by individual retiring allowance agreements and by the Petro-Canada Retirement Plan (defined benefit option), a closed registered pension plan that covered all permanent Canadian employees of Petro-Canada prior to July 1, 1996. The description below and the table which follows reflect the aggregate benefits provided by these arrangements.

I-34


        Mr. Jackman's normal retirement benefit is equal to 2% per year of service, including 10 years of industry service granted at the date of hire to a maximum of 35 years, multiplied by the average of the highest 36 consecutive months of base salary in the final 120 months of service. At Age 65, the benefit is reduced by an adjustment equal to 50% of the total of Canada/Quebec Pension Plan plus Old Age Security benefits, pro-rated for years of service less than 35. Mr. Robert's retirement benefit formula is the same except that he was granted five years of industry service on January 20, 2000 and the accrual rate for such service is 2.0% per year.

        Early retirement is permitted after age 55 under the Petro-Canada Retirement Plan, but the individual retirement allowance agreements require Petro-Canada consent for commencement before Age 65. In the event of early retirement, the normal retirement benefit is reduced by 0.25% for each month that the executive officer retires before age 60; no reduction is applied for retirement after age 60. Normal and early retirement benefits are indexed annually to 50% of the Consumer Price Index, commencing after age 60 subject to a maximum indexing adjustment of 5% for any year.

        In the event of death after retirement, 50% of the retirement benefit is continued for the life of the executive officer's spouse, subject to a minimum of 60 monthly payments from the date of retirement. Under the retiring allowance agreements, no benefit is payable, either on voluntary resignation before the age of 55 or on early retirement prior to Age 65 without Petro-Canada's approval. Also, in the event of involuntary termination of employment by Petro-Canada with cause, Messrs. Jackman and Roberts would forfeit the value of the entitlements arising under their individual retirement allowance agreements (although their entitlements under the Petro-Canada Retirement Plan would remain payable as they are both vested under pension legislation).

        The following table summarizes the retirement benefit entitlement of Mr. Kallos under the Petro-Canada UK Pension Assurance Plan (defined benefit option).

Reflects credited service and actual salary history to December 31, 2008, assuming immediate retirement at that date with Petro-Canada consent.

(2)
Reflects credited service projected to Age 65 coupled with actual salary history to December 31, 2008, assuming retirement at age 65.

(3)
The accrued obligation is the value of the projected pension earned for service to December 31, 2007 (for start of year) or December 31, 2008 (for end of year). The accrued obligations and changes therein were determined using the same actuarial methods and assumptions as Petro-Canada's financial statements.

(4)
Reflects the annual service cost plus the impact on the accrued obligation of any higher than expected (or lower than expected) increases in salary, with such impact measured at the end of the year. There were no plan changes during the year.

(5)
Mr. Kallos is not entitled to retire at December 31, 2008 since he is under age 55.

(6)
All benefit, obligation and service cost data for Mr. Kallos are converted from British pounds to Canadian dollars using the exchange rate as at December 31, 2008 (1.7896). The value of the employee contributions paid by Mr. Kallos to the pension plan was included in the service cost and accrued obligations reported in the table. The annual benefit payable at Age 65 for Mr. Kallos assumes he will continue coverage when the lifetime tax preferred limit is reached.

        Mr. Kallos is covered under the Petro-Canada UK Pension Assurance Plan, a closed registered pension plan (defined benefit) that was available prior to January 2007 to Petro-Canada's permanent UK employees. Upon reaching the lifetime limit on pension value that is tax preferred, Mr. Kallos had the option of electing to receive a cash allowance equal to 25% of his basic salary in lieu of continued pension plan coverage. Mr. Kallos has elected to continue his participation in the registered pension plan. The description below and the table which follows reflect the benefits provided by this arrangement.

        Mr. Kallos' normal retirement benefit at Age 65 is equal to 1/54 per year of service, to a maximum of 36 years, multiplied by his highest basic salary at any time during his final 10 years of service less an amount equal to the basic state pension for a single person at the time of retirement. Mr. Kallos contributes 4% of basic

I-35



salary in excess of the basic state pension for a single person to the pension plan. Mr. Kallos' credited service is equal to his service with Petro-Canada UK Limited.

        Early retirement is permitted after age 55 with Petro-Canada consent. No consent is required on retirement after age 60. In the event of early retirement before age 60, the normal retirement benefit is reduced on a basis certified as reasonable by the Scheme Actuary; no reduction is applied for early retirement after age 60.

        In the event of the death of Mr. Kallos after retirement, 66.66% of the retirement benefit will be continued for the life of his spouse and dependent children for as long as the children meet the eligibility requirements. Should Mr. Kallos' employment with Petro-Canada UK Limited be terminated either on a voluntary or involuntary basis, his entitlements under the Petro-Canada UK Pension Assurance Plan would remain payable as they are vested under pension legislation.

Reflects the accrued unreduced retirement benefit earned to December 31, 2008 based on credited service and actual salary and bonus history to December 31, 2008. If Petro-Canada consent to retire were granted, the value of the frozen accrued retirement benefits, after any applicable adjustments for early retirement, would be $8,683,000 for Mr. Brenneman and $493,000 for Mr. Camarta. The frozen accrued value has been determined using actuarial assumptions similar to those underlying the calculation of the accrued obligations disclosed in succeeding columns, except that it does not reflect the projection of earnings and other contingencies that would be included for corporate financial reporting and which are reflected in the accrued obligations disclosed in succeeding columns.

(2)
Reflects the projected pension at Age 65 based on credited service projected to Age 65 coupled with actual salary and bonus history to December 31, 2008.

(3)
The accrued obligation is the value of projected retirement benefits earned for service to December 31, 2007 (for start of year) or December 31, 2008 (for end of year). The accrued obligations and changes therein were determined using the same actuarial methods and assumptions as Petro-Canada's financial statements.

(4)
Reflects the annual service cost plus the impact on the accrued obligation of any higher than expected (or lower than expected) increases in salary plus bonus. There were no plan changes during the year.

(5)
Includes five years of industry service granted to Mr. Brenneman over the first five years of service with Petro-Canada.

        Messrs. Brenneman and Camarta are covered by a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") and by the Petro-Canada Retirement Plan (defined contribution option), a registered pension plan covering all of Petro-Canada's permanent Canadian-based employees. The SERP provides benefits equal to the greater of a defined benefit formula and the defined contribution account accumulated under the Petro-Canada Retirement Plan. Since the SERP defined benefit formula is expected to predominate, the description below and the table which follows reflect the SERP formula and thus represents the aggregate benefits provided by these arrangements (i.e. including benefits provided by the defined contribution account).

        Messrs. Brenneman's and Camarta's normal retirement benefit is equal to 1.5% per year of service multiplied by the average of the highest 36 consecutive months of the sum of base salary plus annual incentive in the final 120 months of service. For the first five years of Mr. Brenneman's employment, his credited service accrued at the rate of two years for every year of actual service. Mr. Camarta's credited service is equal to his service with Petro-Canada.

        Early retirement is permitted after age 55 under the Petro-Canada Retirement Plan, but the SERP benefits require Petro-Canada consent for commencement before Age 65. In the event of early retirement, the normal retirement benefit is reduced by 0.25% for each month that the executive officer retires before age 60; no reduction is applied for retirement after age 60. Normal and early retirement benefits are indexed annually to 100% of the Consumer Price Index, subject to a maximum indexing adjustment of 2% for any year.

I-36


        In the event of death after retirement, 60% of the retirement benefit is continued for the life of the executive officer's spouse. Under the SERP, no benefit is payable either on voluntary resignation before age 55 or on early retirement before Age 65 without Petro-Canada's approval. Also, in the event of involuntary termination of employment by Petro-Canada with cause, Messrs. Brenneman and Camarta would forfeit the value of the entitlements arising under the SERP (although their entitlements under the Petro-Canada Retirement Plan would remain payable as they are both vested under pension legislation).

        The following table is the consolidation of the previous three tables and reflects the retirement benefits of Messrs. Brenneman, Jackman, Kallos, Roberts and Camarta.

Contracts Relating to Termination of Employment

        Petro-Canada has contracts relating to termination of employment with all of the Named Executive Officers. In the event of termination of employment by Petro-Canada without just cause, each of the Executive Officers named in this paragraph is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to base salary as of the termination date, plus the average of the short-term incentives earned in respect of the three years prior to the date of termination, multiplied by a notice period. The notice period for Mr. Brenneman is the lesser of three years or 65 minus his age; given Mr. Brenneman's age, his notice period as at December 31, 2008 was approximately 2.5 years. The notice period for Messrs. Jackman and Roberts is the lesser of 2.5 years or 65 minus his age. For Messrs. Kallos and Camarta the notice period is 2.0 years. For the purposes of calculating the Named Executive Officer's retirement benefit, service is increased by the notice period and the executive is deemed to have earned the base salary as of the termination date for the duration of the notice period.

Indebtedness of Directors and Executive and Senior Officers

        As of the date of this Appendix there is no indebtedness to Petro-Canada or any of its subsidiaries by any present or former Directors or officers of Petro-Canada. Petro-Canada has a policy that prohibits any loans to its Directors or officers.

I-39


Directors and Officers Insurance Program

        Petro-Canada maintains Directors and officers liability insurance to an aggregate annual limit of $160 million. The policy provides coverage in two parts:

    (i)
    Corporate Reimbursement Coverage — This coverage reimburses Petro-Canada for amounts lawfully paid to its Directors or officers under the corporate indemnity; and

    (ii)
    Directors and Officers Coverage — This coverage pays for losses incurred by each insured Director or officer in situations where Petro-Canada either chooses not to indemnify or is unable (either legally or financially) to indemnify the Director or officer.

        The deductible is $11 million for the Corporate Reimbursement Coverage and there is no deductible for the Directors and Officers Coverage. The premium in respect of the individual reimbursement provision was approximately $650,000 for the 2008 financial year. The Corporate Reimbursement Coverage does not distinguish between the Directors and officers as separate groups.


RETURNING CASH TO SHAREHOLDERS

        Petro-Canada's priority uses of cash are to fund the capital program and profitable growth opportunities, and to return cash to shareholders through dividends and a share buyback program.

        Petro-Canada regularly reviews its dividend strategy to ensure the alignment of dividend policy with shareholder expectations, and financial and growth objectives. Consistent with this strategy, on July 24, 2008, Petro-Canada declared a 54% increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.20/share, commencing with the dividend payable on October 1, 2008.

        Total dividends paid in 2008 were $320 million, compared with $255 million in 2007.

        In 2004, Petro-Canada initiated a Normal Course Issuer Bid program, which was renewed in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The current program, which extends to June 21, 2009, entitles Petro-Canada to purchase up to 5% of its outstanding Common Shares, subject to certain conditions. In 2007, cash generated by high commodity prices in excess of capital expenditures was used to buy back shares. In 2008, Petro-Canada did not repurchase any of its shares.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SUMMARY

        Petro-Canada's Board of Directors believes that superior corporate governance practices are essential to Petro-Canada's success and, therefore, the Board is committed to continuous improvement. The Board and management, working together, maintain a best-practices standard in all Petro-Canada's corporate governance initiatives. This standard earned a first place in the energy sector, (and 9th overall) in the Globe and Mail's Report on Business, 2008 Board Games — an annual review of corporate governance practices and standards in Canada. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the "Governance Committee") reviews corporate governance trends and issues every time it meets.

        Throughout this summary, there are references to information available on Petro-Canada's website. Everything mentioned can be found at www.petro-canada.ca. Petro-Canada's website, although referenced, does not form part of this Appendix.

Governance Committee Responsibilities

        The Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing Petro-Canada's corporate governance matters and making appropriate recommendations to the Board. The Governance Committee is committed to meeting or exceeding governance standards set out by various regulatory authorities and governance policy-makers including Canadian Securities Administrators' instruments relating to continuous disclosure and the

I-40



U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Governance Committee also helps the Board to:

monitor changes in best practices for governance and reporting;

address developments in applicable regulatory and legislative frameworks;

assess the size, competencies and skills of the Board;

propose nominees for election to the Board;

oversee the conduct of the Board, Board Committee and Director evaluation processes; and

oversee the orientation and education of Board members.

2008 Governance Initiatives

        In 2008, the Governance Committee and management continued to focus on evaluating the adequacy and effectiveness of the compliance and ethics programs in place. The activities in 2008 included:

reviewing and recommending for approval a revised Code of Business Conduct (the "Code"). The Code is a statement of conduct and values intended to provide guidance to all employees and to assist them in their obligations to comply with applicable laws and Petro-Canada policies and standards of ethical conduct. It underwent a rigorous review and redrafting and was also translated into French and Arabic. Orientation for new leaders in Petro-Canada now includes material informing them of their accountability in connection with the Code.

the ethics hotline was renamed "Business Conduct Hotline" to better align with the Code. A company article was published to remind employees of the purpose of the hotline and how it could be accessed.

in-person business integrity training and online compliance training continued through 2008. By the end of the first quarter 2008 all offices in the international and offshore business unit were visited and face-to-face sessions were delivered to 284 employees and contractors. A third-party supplier was retained to create interactive online business integrity/improper payments training.

training that had been completed by 4,419 employees and 408 contractors.

        In accordance with its charter, the Governance Committee also supported or initiated the following governance initiatives:

performing its annual review of the Board membership in connection with succession planning. The Governance Committee conducts annual board evaluations of the Board, Board Committees, the Chair of the Board, and individual Directors. The process includes:

each Board Committee chair distributing to its members an individual evaluation form plus a Board Committee chair evaluation form assessing individual performance and against committee charters;

the results of the assessments are discussed with the Governance Committee and the Chair of the Board and presented to the Board.

the Governance Committee actively engaged in a board renewal process to fill vacancies expected over the next few years. It has developed criteria to assist in the selection of Director nominees. Nominees must have the experience, skills, time and commitment necessary to fulfil the Directors' responsibilities. It is this process that resulted in the recommendation of Hans Brenninkmeyer to the Board.

received a report from the Chief Compliance Officer outlining compliance activities and key initiatives for 2008.

received reports at each Governance Committee meeting from management on corporate governance trends and issues.

Corporate Governance Practices

        Petro-Canada is a Canadian integrated oil and gas company with Common Shares listed on the TSX as PCA and the NYSE as PCZ. Petro-Canada's corporate governance practices substantially follow the rules and guidelines from both Canadian and U.S. securities regulators, including the following:

Canadian

  National Instrument 58-101 (Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices)

  National Policy 58-201 (Corporate Governance Guidelines)

  National Instrument 52-109 (Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and
Interim Filings)

  National Instrument 52-110 (Audit Committees) (NI 52-110)

U.S.

 

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX)

  NYSE Corporate Governance Standards for U.S. domestic issuers (NYSE Standards)(1)

Board Composition and Independence

        Petro-Canada's Articles require the Board of Directors to have a minimum of nine and a maximum of 13 Directors. Petro-Canada's Board consists of qualified members with backgrounds that help to meet its performance targets. Ten nominees are independent under NI 52-110, the NYSE Standards and SOX; Ron A. Brenneman, Petro-Canada's President and Chief Executive Officer, is the one nominee who is not independent. The Governance Committee annually reviews the size and effectiveness of the Board as a whole, and the skills and contributions of its members. Petro-Canada has an annual process to confirm details on Directors' current employers, other directorships, shareholdings and business relationships. This helps in deciding each Director's independence. A brief description of each Director can be found under Nominees for Election to the Board of Directors starting on page I-3.

Board Roles and Responsibilities

        The Board supervises the management of Petro-Canada and is responsible for its overall stewardship. A complete mandate is attached as Schedule A to this Appendix. In summary, the Board is responsible for:

management selection, retention, succession and remuneration;

overseeing the development of Petro-Canada's business strategy and monitoring its progress;

approving significant policies and procedures;

timely and accurate reporting to shareholders and public filing of documents; and

approving major decisions and documents, including such things as audited financial statements, declarations of dividends, offering circulars and initiation of bylaw amendments.

        The Board meets a minimum of six times per year and schedules in camera sessions at each meeting. In 2008, there were eight Board and in camera meetings. Prior to each meeting, the Chair of the Board solicits recommendations from Board members on matters that should be brought before the Board. All Directors receive a meeting agenda and background material on agenda items prior to each meeting so that they have the opportunity to review and consider the items that will be discussed. In addition to attending all meetings of the Board and its committees on which they sit, Directors are encouraged to attend and, in practice, do attend other Committee meetings. Directors are not always paid additional fees for such attendance. Individual Directors also notify the Board of a material interest in any matter that the Board is considering. The interested Board member is not entitled to participate in Board discussions or vote on the particular matter at the meeting.

        The Board Mandate and Terms of Reference for an individual Director contain more detail on the membership, procedures and responsibilities of the Board. These documents can be found in the Corporate Governance Handbook on Petro-Canada's website.


(1)
Although the NYSE Standards do not apply to Petro-Canada, the company's corporate governance practices substantially comply with these standards.

I-42


Board Committees

        The Board has five standing Committees:

Audit, Finance and Risk (Audit Committee)

        All members of the Committees are independent and in camera sessions are scheduled at each Committee meeting.

Position Descriptions

Chair of the Board

        The Chair of the Board is an independent Director whose position is separate from the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Chair leads the Board and is responsible for enhancing its effectiveness. The Chair of the Board also acts as an advisor to the President and Chief Executive Officer and to other officers in all matters concerning the management of Petro-Canada. The Governance Committee annually reviews the performance of the Chair of the Board.

President and Chief Executive Officer

        The President and Chief Executive Officer leads Petro-Canada's Executive Leadership Team. He is responsible for the strategic direction of Petro-Canada and its sound management and performance. Annually, the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Compensation Committee canvas the Board members for their input on the President and Chief Executive Officer's performance, request input and comments from other officers as they may see fit and have a detailed discussion with the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee then recommends to the independent members of the Board the compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer for the upcoming year.

        Detailed position descriptions for the Chair of the Board, the President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Corporate Secretary are published in the Corporate Governance Handbook, which is on Petro-Canada's website.

Board Compensation

        The Governance Committee annually reviews Directors' compensation and makes recommendations to the Board as to the appropriate fees and expenses to be paid in regard to being a Director, Chair of the Board, Committee Chair and Committee member. The compensation of Petro-Canada's Board of Directors is intended to attract highly qualified Directors who are able to meet the demanding responsibilities of being Board members, and is structured in a way that encourages Directors to act in the long-term interest of Petro-Canada. On a regular basis, the Governance Committee retains an outside consultant, Towers Perrin, to assess the competitiveness of Director and Chair of the Board compensation arrangements using a similar process and approach as used in assessing competitiveness of executive pay (e.g. market comparators and target pay philosophy). The last comprehensive review was undertaken in the fall of 2007 and updated in the summer of 2008.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

        The Board ensures that candidates under consideration for Board membership understand the roles and expectations of members and the contribution that they would be expected to make. Following appointment, the Governance Committee will ensure that, as part of the Board of Director's orientation program, each new Director reviews copies of:

business plan and implementation strategy;

annual disclosure documents;

minutes of the Board and Committee meetings for the past year;

Corporate Governance Handbook; and

Code of Business Conduct.

I-44


        All new Directors are encouraged to attend Committee meetings of which they are not a member to assist in their orientation. They also have one-on-one sessions with each of the business unit and shared services leaders and their teams. As required, Petro-Canada will arrange a mentor for a new Director to help them learn about Petro-Canada's operations.

        Petro-Canada encourages all Directors to take advantage of continuing education programs. Petro-Canada supports Directors through a cost-sharing arrangement or by paying all reasonable expenses. Petro-Canada also provides a number of in-house education sessions, such as tours of facilities and technical paper presentations. In addition to ongoing development, procedures are in place to ensure that the Board is kept up to date and to facilitate timely and efficient access to all information necessary to carry out its duties. At each meeting, the Board is provided with an update from a selected business unit. At least one week prior to scheduled meetings, all Directors are provided with agendas for all meetings and may attend any Committee meeting, whether or not they are a Committee member. They also receive a comprehensive package of material in preparation of the upcoming meetings. In 2008, Directors participated in the following additional education sessions sponsored by management:

Executive Compensation trends and issues education session sponsored by Andrew Stephens, Senior Vice-President, Corporate Relations;

Social Media, Issues and Opportunities presentation sponsored by Greta Raymond, Vice-President Environment, Safety & Social Responsibility;

Quarterly IFRS education modules presented by Michael Barkwell, Vice-President and Controller and Jolienne Guillemaud, Assistant Controller;

Pension Fiduciary education session presented by Julianna Spiropolous, Manager Pension and Frank Russell (independent pension advisors);

Environment Health and Safety site tour of the lubricants facilities and the Oakville terminal, hosted by Boris Jackman and the Downstream leadership team;

Strategic Offsite presented by the Executive Leadership Team;

Investor Relations and Community Partnership Program updates (on a quarterly basis the Board is provided with a written investor relations report), presented by Andrew Stephens, Senior Vice-President, Corporate Relations, and Ken Hall, Director, Investor Relations; and

site tour of refurbished floors at the head office hosted by facilities management. The test of the new interior design includes a new multi-shade wall system, use of transparent glass to enhance natural lighting, new lighting system for energy efficiency, and areas to promote networking and improved wellness.

        In addition, Hans Brenninkmeyer completed his new Director orientation and he and Maureen McCaw are enrolled at the Institute of Corporate Directors ("ICD"). Ms. McCaw was certified in 2008.

Director Retirement

        The Board of Directors has adopted a retirement policy under which the retirement age for Directors has been set at 72 years. Directors 72 years of age will not be eligible to stand for re-election at the next annual meeting of shareholders of Petro-Canada. Directors who turn 72 during their term are eligible to finish out that term. The Governance Committee has authority to recommend a Director for re-election after reaching 72 if it considers such a recommendation to be in the best interests of Petro-Canada.

Performance Evaluation

        The Governance Committee annually reviews the size, composition, Charters and membership of the Board and each Board Committee and, together with the Chair of the Board, leads a process for evaluating the effectiveness of the Board, its Committees and the contribution of Board members. Every Director participates in the annual performance evaluation review. The review process consists of questionnaires to elicit discussion and then broad ranging interviews. The Chair of the Governance Committee and the Chair of the Board each have separate interviews with the Directors. The results of the evaluation process are reviewed at the Governance Committee and at the Board.

I-45


Ethical Business Conduct

        Code of Business Conduct — All Board members, employees, contract staff and contractors must follow Petro-Canada's Code of Business Conduct, which is available on Petro-Canada's website (www.petro-canada.ca). The Code provides guidance on such things as ethical business conduct generally, conflicts of interest, dealing with confidential information, insider information and the Policy for the Prevention of Improper Payments. The Code is reviewed annually by the Governance Committee. The Board has not granted any waiver of the Code; therefore, no material change report has been filed in this regard.

        Annual certifications are provided to the Governance Committee by Petro-Canada's executive officers, verifying that (i) they adhere to the Code, (ii) the Code is regularly communicated and (iii) their employees adhere to the Code. Employees take electronic training on the Code's content and certify their compliance every two years. All new employees must certify that they will comply with the Code during their employment.

        Senior Financial Officers — Petro-Canada's senior financial officers provide annual certifications under Petro-Canada's Code of Ethics for Financial Officers. The President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer certify Petro-Canada's quarterly and annual financial statements for filing with the Canadian and U.S. securities regulators.

        Business Conduct Hotline — With Petro-Canada's whistleblower hotline, employees can report questionable accounting or auditing matters on an anonymous and confidential basis. The Chief Compliance Officer oversees the whistleblower hotline, and reports complaints received through the hotline to the Chair of the Audit Committee.

        Disclosure Policy — Petro-Canada has adopted a Public Disclosure Policy to govern the dissemination of information to the public and further Petro-Canada's aim of providing clear and complete disclosure in a timely manner, while complying with all securities regulations. The procedure operating under this Policy establishes a Committee that is led by the Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, with representatives from certain business and shared services units of Petro-Canada. Different types of disclosure are approved by all or part of the Committee, as the circumstances warrant. The President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer must approve all material financial disclosures.

I-46

(b)
Subject to stock exchange approval where required, the Board may, in its discretion, decide to award shares of another authorized class or series of shares of the Company that are convertible into Shares or make such other shares subject to purchase under an Option, in which event the maximum number of Shares into which such other shares may be converted shall be used in applying the aggregate share limit under paragraph 2.6(a) and all provisions of this Plan relating to Shares shall apply with full force and effect with respect to such convertible shares.

any interest or right in such Awards whatsoever in any assignee or transferee, but immediately upon any assignment or transfer, or any attempt to make the same, such Awards shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

ARTICLE 3

SHARE OPTIONS AND SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS

3.1   Award of Options and SARs

        The Board or, where permitted, the Committee, CEO or Designated Person may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe, award Options and/or SARs (either in conjunction with Options as Tandem SARs or standing alone) to any Participant.

3.2   Exercise Term

(a)
The maximum term during which Options and SARs may be exercised shall be determined by the Board, but in no event shall the Exercise Term of an Option or SAR exceed seven (7) years from the date of its grant, unless the Exercise Term has been extended by a Blackout Exercise Term.

(b)
Subject to paragraph 3.2(a), the provisions of this Plan and any Award Agreement, Options and SARs may be exercised by means of giving an Exercise Notice addressed to the Company. Where Options or SARs are exercised, they shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date that the Exercise Notice in respect of such Options or SARs is received by the Treasurer or Secretary of the Company at the Company's head office.

3.3   Exercise Price

        The Exercise Price of any Option must not be less than the Market Value of a Share as determined on the date of the granting of the Option.

3.4   Payment of Exercise Price

        The Exercise Price shall be fully paid on or before the Settlement Day. No Shares shall be issued or transferred until full payment has been received therefor. As soon as practicable after receipt of any Exercise Notice and full payment, the Company shall deliver to the eligible Participant, a certificate or certificates representing the acquired Shares.

3.5   Share Appreciation Rights

        The Board may grant share appreciation rights ("SARs") either alone or in conjunction with the granting of an Option ("Tandem SARs"). Where SARs are granted on a stand alone basis, the SARs shall entitle the Participant to receive, upon the exercise of the SARs, a payment in the aggregate amount of the number of SARs exercised, multiplied by the excess of the Market Value of a Share determined on the date of exercise of the SARs over the Market Value of a Share determined on the date of grant of the SARs. Tandem SARs shall entitle the Participant to receive, upon the exercise of the Tandem SARs, a payment in the aggregate amount of the number of Tandem SARs exercised, multiplied by the excess of the Market Value of a Share determined on the date of exercise of the Tandem SARs over the Exercise Price of the related Options.

REORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

8.1   General

        The existence of any Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or any other change in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation involving the Company or to create or issue any bonds, debentures, shares or other securities of the Company or the rights and conditions attaching thereto or to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of similar character or otherwise.

8.2   Reorganization of Company's Capital

        Should the Company effect a subdivision or consolidation of Shares or any similar capital reorganization or a payment of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend which is in lieu of an ordinary cash dividend), or should any other change be made in the capitalization of the Company which, in the opinion of the Board, would warrant the replacement or modification of any existing Awards in order to adjust: (i) the number of Shares which may be acquired on the exercise of any outstanding Awards; (ii) the Exercise Price of any outstanding Awards; or (iii) the number of SARs and/or LARs held by Participants, in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of Participants, the Board shall authorize such steps to be taken as may be equitable and appropriate to that end, subject to any required regulatory approvals. A decision of the Board in respect of any and all matters falling within the scope of this paragraph or paragraphs 8.3 and 8.4 shall be final and without recourse on the part of any Participant and his or her heirs or legal representatives.

8.3   Other Events Affecting the Company

        In the event of an amalgamation, combination, merger or other reorganization involving the Company, by exchange of Shares, by sale or lease of assets, or otherwise, which in the opinion of the Board warrants the replacement or modification of any existing Awards in order to adjust: (i) the number of Shares which may be acquired on the exercise of any outstanding Awards; (ii) the Exercise Price of any outstanding Awards; (iii) the number of SARs and/or LARs held by Participants; or (iv) any other attribute of an Award, in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of Participants, the Board, in its sole discretion, shall authorize such steps to be taken as may be equitable and appropriate to that end, subject to any required regulatory approvals.

8.4   Immediate Exercise of Awards

        Where the Board determines that the steps provided for in paragraphs 8.2 and 8.3 would not preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of Participants in the circumstances or otherwise determines that it is appropriate, the Board may on thirty (30) days notice to each Participant, permit the immediate exercise of any outstanding Awards which are not otherwise exercisable and provide that any Awards that are not exercised within such thirty (30) day period are terminated. In addition, if a Change of Control should occur at any time the Board may provide that, any Award that is not by its terms then exercisable shall be deemed to have become exercisable immediately prior to such Change of Control and that any Award that is not exercised in connection with such Change of Control will expire on the closing of the Change of Control.

8.5   Issue by Company of Additional Shares

        Except as expressly provided in this Article 8, the issue by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, for money, services or property either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of Shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to: (i) the number of Shares which may be acquired on the exercise of any outstanding Awards; (ii) the Exercise Price of any outstanding Awards; or (iii) the number of SARs and/or LARs held by Participants.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

9.1   Legal Requirement

        The Company shall not be obligated to grant any Awards, issue any Shares or other securities, make any payments or take any other action if, in the opinion of the Board exercising its discretion, such action would constitute a violation by a Participant or the Company of any provision of any applicable valid statutory or regulatory enactment of any government or government agency.

9.2   Rights of Participant

        No Participant shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award (including, without limitation, an Award in substitution for any Option, SAR, LAR or other Award that has expired pursuant to the terms of this Plan), and the granting of any Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant a right to remain in the employ of the Company.

9.3   Amendment or Discontinuance

        Subject to receipt of any necessary regulatory or other approval, the Board may, without shareholder approval, at any time or from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate this Plan or the securities issued hereunder or any provisions hereof in such respects as it, in its discretion, may determine appropriate provided, however, that no amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without the consent of any Participant or the representatives of his or her estate, as applicable, materially alter or impair any rights or obligations arising from any Award previously granted to a Participant under this Plan and provided, however, that any of the following amendments will also be subject to receipt of shareholder approval:

    (iv)
    allowing Awards to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and

    (v)
    any amendment that increases the maximum number of Options available for annual grants to Non-Employee Directors.

9.4   Indemnification

        Every Director shall at all times be indemnified and saved harmless by the Company from and against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever including any income tax liability arising from any such indemnification, which such Director may sustain or incur by reason of any action, suit or proceeding, proceeded or threatened against the Director, otherwise than by the Company, for or in respect of any act done or omitted by the Director in respect of this Plan, such costs, charges and expenses to include any amount paid to settle such action, suit or proceeding or in satisfaction of any judgement rendered therein.

9.5   Effective Date

        This Plan shall become effective on the Effective Date.

APPENDIX "A"

LIMITED APPRECIATION RIGHTS AWARDS

1.
Purpose:    The purpose of the award of a LAR is to provide Participants with incentive to maximize the value of the Shares during a period when the Company is subject to a Change of Control Transaction. In particular, the award of a LAR will provide designated Participants with the opportunity to realize the value inherent in their holdings of Options as a result of a Change in Control Transaction without having to exercise their Options.

2.     Granting of LARs:

    (a)
    A LAR may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time in the discretion of the Board.

    (b)
    A LAR granted to a Participant shall confer upon such Participant a collateral right and entitlement in respect of each and every outstanding Option and non-Tandem SAR (a "Related Option") held by the Participant during the period from the date of grant of the LAR to the date upon which the LAR expires or is otherwise cancelled or terminated, regardless of whether the Related Option is granted before, concurrently with, or after the date of grant of the LAR.

3.
Entitlement Upon Exercise of a LAR:    For persons who are not U.S. Taxpayers a LAR represents the right of the holder thereof, exercisable upon completion of a Change of Control Transaction, to receive a cash payment from the Company upon surrender of the Related Option equal to the amount, if any, by which:

(a)
the greater of:

(i)
the highest price per Share paid by a person acquiring Shares in the Change of Control Transaction, and

(ii)
the highest "Daily Trading Price" of the Shares on TSX during the sixty (60) day period preceding the date of the Change of Control Transaction where "Daily Trading Price" means the average of the high and low board lot trading prices of the Shares on any particular day;

    exceeds

    (b)
    the Exercise Price of the Related Option.

4.
Entitlement Upon Exercise of a LAR:    For persons who are U.S. Taxpayers, a LAR represents the right of the holder thereof who is a U.S. Taxpayer, to receive a cash payment from the Company upon surrender of the Related Option equal to the amount, if any, by which:

(a)
the average of the "Daily Trading Price" of the Shares on TSX during the thirty (30) day period preceding the date of exercise of the LAR, where "Daily Trading Price" means the average of the high and low board lot trading prices of the Shares on any particular day;

    exceeds

    (b)
    the Exercise Price of the Related Option.

    The foregoing right is exercisable

    (c)
    if the Shares continue to trade on TSX or the New York Stock Exchange after the Change of Control Transaction, at any time from and including the date of completion of the Change of Control Transaction up to and including the 30th day following the date of completion of the Change of Control Transaction.

    (d)
    If subparagraph (c) is not applicable, on the day immediately following the date of the Change of Control Transaction.

5.
Manner of Exercise of LARs:    Subject to the provisions hereof and any Award Agreement, a LAR attached to and forming part of any Related Option may be exercised by the Participant giving an Exercise Notice addressed to the Company specifying the Related Options in respect of which the LAR is exercised.

K-13


    The exercise of any LAR must be accompanied by the surrender of the Related Option which will thereupon be cancelled.

6.
Exercise Term; Expiry and Cancellation of LARs:    Subject to paragraph 7 below, a LAR granted to a Participant pursuant to the terms of this Plan will be exercisable upon completion of a Change of Control Transaction, provided that the Related Option is, by its terms, then exercisable, and the LAR will expire and be cancelled upon the earliest of: (i) the exercise of the Related Option by a Participant; (ii) the expiry of the Exercise Term of the Related Option; (iii) the expiration of the Related Option pursuant to paragraph 8.4 of this Plan; (iv) with respect to LARs held by Participants who are U.S. Taxpayers, the expiry of the exercise period for LARs following completion of a Change of Control Transaction as set out in paragraph 3.1(c) or (d) above; (v) the expiry date of the LAR as designated by the Board at the date of grant thereof; and (vi) the grant to the Participant of a new LAR on substantially the same terms as any existing LAR but with a later stated expiry date.

7.
Other Events Affecting Exercise of LARs:    All LARs granted to Participants pursuant to the terms of this Plan shall terminate and be of no further effect immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a)
the death of the Participant;

(b)
the entitlement to Disability Benefits of the Participant;

(c)
the Retirement of the Participant;

(d)
the Termination Date in respect of the Participant's employment with the Company, whether with or without cause and whether with or without any or reasonable notice; or

(e)
the voluntary termination of his/her employment with the Company by a Participant.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events at a time when a LAR is exercisable due to the completion of a Change of Control Transaction, the LAR shall continue to be exercisable for:

    (f)
    for Participants who are U.S. Taxpayers, thirty (30) days; or

    (g)
    for Participants who are not U.S. Taxpayers, six (6) months;

    following the effective date of the Change of Control Transaction or until such earlier date as they are cancelled pursuant to paragraph 6; and provided further that the Board, in its discretion, may permit the exercise of any or all LARs held by a Participant other than a Participant who is a U.S. Taxpayer, in the manner and on the terms authorized by the Board.

3.
Fractional Shares:    In no event shall fractional Shares be issued to Directors in respect of the Annual Share Payment.

4.
Timing of Annual Share Payment:    Directors shall receive Shares in respect of the Annual Share Payment, on a pro rata basis with the payment of the balance of the Director's Annual Retainer, at such time or times as such balance of the Director's Annual Retainer is payable.
