These excerpts taken from the SUN 10-K filed Feb 24, 2010. General Sunoco, Inc.* was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1971. It or its predecessors have been active in the petroleum industry since 1886. Its principal executive offices are located at 1735 Market Street, Suite LL, Philadelphia, PA 19103-7583. Its telephone number is (215) 977-3000 and its internet website is www.SunocoInc.com. The Company makes available free of charge on its website all materials that it files electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is principally a petroleum refiner and marketer and chemicals manufacturer with interests in logistics and cokemaking. Sunocos petroleum refining and marketing operations include the manufacturing and marketing of a full range of petroleum products, including fuels and some petrochemicals. Sunocos chemical operations comprise the manufacturing, distribution and marketing of commodity and intermediate petrochemicals. The petroleum refining and marketing, chemicals and logistics operations are conducted principally in the eastern half of the United States. Sunocos cokemaking operations currently are conducted in Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Vitória, Brazil. Sunoco has entered into an agreement to sell its polypropylene chemical operations, which is expected to close on or about March 31, 2010. The Companys operations are organized into five business segments (Refining and Supply, Retail Marketing, Chemicals, Logistics and Coke) plus a holding company and a professional services group. Sunoco, Inc., the holding company, is a non-operating parent company which includes certain corporate officers. The professional services group consists of a number of staff functions, including: finance; legal and risk management; procurement and supply chain; human resources; information systems; health, environment and safety; engineering and technology; facilities management; transaction processing; and government and public affairs. Costs incurred by the professional services group to provide these services are allocated to the five business segments and the holding company. This discussion of the Companys business and properties reflects this organizational structure. For additional information regarding these business units, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Item 7) and the business segment information presented in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Item 8). Sunoco owns and operates three refineries which are located in Marcus Hook, PA, Philadelphia, PA and Toledo, OH. These refineries produce principally fuels and commodity petrochemicals. In the fourth quarter of 2009, Sunoco permanently shut down all process units at a refinery in Westville, NJ (also known as Eagle Point) in response to weak demand and increased global refining capacity. In addition, on June 1, 2009, Sunoco sold its refinery located in Tulsa, OK that emphasized lubricants production (see Refining and Supply below). Sunoco markets gasoline and middle distillates, and offers a broad range of convenience store merchandise through a network of 4,711 retail outlets in 23 states primarily on the East Coast and in the Midwest United States. In 2009, the Company continued its Retail Portfolio Management program which selectively reduced its invested capital in Company-owned or leased sites, while retaining most of the gasoline sales volumes attributable to the divested sites (see Retail Marketing below).

Table of ContentsSunoco owns and operates facilities in Philadelphia, PA and Haverhill, OH, which produce phenol and acetone, and in LaPorte, TX, Neal, WV and Marcus Hook, PA, which produce polypropylene (see Chemicals below). Sunoco owns, principally through Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (a master limited partnership) (the Partnership), a geographically diverse and complementary group of pipelines and terminal facilities which transport, terminal and store refined products and crude oil. Sunoco has a 33 percent interest in the Partnership, which includes a 2 percent general partnership interest (see Logistics below). Sunoco, through SunCoke Energy, Inc. and its affiliates (individually and collectively, SunCoke Energy), makes high-quality, blast-furnace coke at its facilities in Vansant, VA (Jewell), East Chicago, IN (Indiana Harbor), Franklin Furnace, OH (Haverhill) and commencing in the fourth quarter of 2009, Granite City, IL (Granite City) and produces metallurgical coal from mines in Virginia and West Virginia primarily for use at the Jewell cokemaking facility. SunCoke Energy is also the operator and has an equity interest in a facility in Vitória, Brazil (Vitória). An agreement has been entered into for a cokemaking facility and associated cogeneration power plant to be built, owned and operated by Sunoco in Middletown, OH which is subject to resolution of all contingencies, including necessary permits (see Coke below). The following are separate discussions of Sunocos business segments. General Sunoco is subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment, waste management and the characteristics and composition of fuels. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations increases the
