No dividends or other distributions in respect of Amalco Shares shall be paid to any holder of unsurrendered certificate(s) representing Suncor Shares until such certificates are surrendered to Computershare for exchange. The method of delivery of certificates to Computershare at one of the addresses set forth on the bottom of this page is at the sole option and risk of the surrendering shareholder. Delivery will be deemed effective only when received by Computershare. For your convenience, a security return envelope is enclosed.

 

2. Authorization and Registration: The signature(s) on the reverse side represents that you have full authority to surrender these certificate(s) for exchange and warrant that the shares represented by these certificates are free and clear of hypothecations, mortgages, liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse rights or claims. The Amalco Shares to be issued are in the name(s) that this Letter of Transmittal and Election Form was addressed.

 

3. Special Transfer Instructions: If your Amalco Shares are to be issued to a person(s) other than the registered owner(s), a transfer of ownership must be executed. Please follow the instructions below:

 

A.    Do not forward the “old” Suncor share certificates and this Letter of Transmittal and Election Form to Computershare until you have completed all applicable transfer of ownership documents.

B.    Obtain transfer of ownership requirements and instructions by calling Computershare at 1-866-350-8535 (within Canada and the US) or 514-982-8728 (outside of Canada and the US).

Elections are subject to pro-ration in certain circumstances as further described in the Circular. You are also advised that the Circular contains other important tax and other information regarding the election and it is recommended that you review this information in its entirety and consult with your own tax advisor about making such an election.

BOX A — LOST CERTIFICATE(S)

BLANKET BOND NO. 8187-38-53

 

By checking the lost certificate box(es) on the front page and signing the bottom of this form, the undersigned person(s) being fully sworn deposes and says that: “I am the lawful owner of the certificate(s) and the Suncor Shares represented thereby. The certificate(s) has(have) not been endorsed, cashed, negotiated, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of. I have made a diligent search for the certificate(s) and have been unable to find it (them), and make this Affidavit for the purpose of receiving, without surrender of the certificate(s), from Computershare, a new certificate of Suncor Shares representing a replacement of the above lost certificates. I hereby agree that if the certificate(s) should ever come into my hands, custody or power, I will immediately and without consideration surrender the certificate(s) to Suncor or Amalco, as the case may be. In consideration, I agree to completely indemnify, protect and save harmless Petro-Canada, Suncor Energy Inc., Computershare Investor Services Inc. and Computershare Trust Company of Canada ( together “Computershare”), and any other party to the transaction (each, an Obligee”), and Computershare’s insurance company, Chubb Insurance Company of Canada, from and against all losses, costs and damages, including court costs and solicitors fees, which such person(s) may be subject to or liable for in respect of the replacement of the certificate(s). The rights accruing to the Obligees under the preceding sentence shall not be limited by the negligence, inadvertence, accident, oversight or breach of any duty or obligation on the part of the Obligees or their respective officers, employees and agents, of their failure to inquire into, contest, or litigate any claim, whenever such negligence, inadvertence, accident, oversight, breach or failure occurs or has occurred. I authorize Computershare to deliver this Affidavit to Chubb Insurance Company of Canada which has underwritten a bond of indemnity to protect the foregoing parties.”

PREMIUM CALCULATION:

Bond premium

 

Total Premium Due

 

 

 

 

Per Suncor Share

 

(minimum  CAD $20.00)

 

Multiply the number of Suncor Shares lost by the Bond premium noted above to calculate the premium you owe. If you have Lost Certificates representing 18 or fewer Suncor Shares, there is a minimum premium of CAD $20.00. The premium is only valid until January 02, 2010 (Expiry Date”). PLEASE MAKE YOUR MONEY ORDER OR BANK DRAFT PAYABLE TO “COMPUTERSHARE” FOR THE BOND PREMIUM AND ENCLOSE WITH THIS AFFIDAVIT. If your request is approved, Computershare will forward the Bond premium to Chubb Insurance Company of Canada. We cannot complete your exchange without a Surety Bond. NOTE: This premium is calculated based upon each lost Suncor Share, not per each lost certificate. After the Expiry Date, Computershare will provide additional documentation including confirmation of the Bond premium.

 

STEP 2: SIGNATURES OF OWNERS

 

All registered owners MUST sign below exactly as the  name(s) appears on the front of this form.  You must have your signature(s) notarized.  If your lost certificate(s) is (are) part of an estate or trust, or are valued at more than CAD $250,000, please contact Computershare for additional instructions.
