("Suncor") (TSX:SU) (NYSE:SU) and Petro-Canada ("Petro-Canada") (TSX:PCA) (NYSE:PCZ) today announced that they have agreed to merge the two companies.

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement entered into between Suncor and Petro-Canada, the proposed merger will be effected by way of a Plan of Arrangement completed under the Canada Business Corporations Act. It will feature a common share exchange through which Petro-Canada common shareholders will effectively receive 1.28 common shares of the merged company for each common share of Petro-Canada they own and each Suncor common shareholder will receive one common share of the merged company for each common share of Suncor they own. The exchange ratio represents an approximate 25% premium for the Petro-Canada shares to the 30-day weighted-average trading price of such shares. On completion of the proposed transaction, Suncor's existing shareholders will own approximately 60 per cent and Petro-Canada shareholders will own approximately 40 per cent of the merged company.
