Shareholder FAQs
| Q. | What can I do with my Sun Exploration and Production stock? |
| If you were a shareholder of record of Sun Company, Inc. (now Sunoco, Inc.) stock on October 14, 1988, you received a certificate dated November 1, 1988, for shares of common stock of Sun Exploration and Production Company ("Sun E&P"). You were entitled to receive this as a result of the distribution of Sun E&P common stock by its parent company, Sun Company, Inc. (now Sunoco, Inc.). The Internal Revenue Service ruled that you incurred no U.S. Federal Income Tax as a result of the distribution. However, for capital gains tax purposes, you need to determine the cost per share of your Sun E&P stock and an adjusted cost per share for your Sun stock, so you can calculate gain or loss when you give, transfer or sell either stock. Figuring these costs per share is done by apportioning the original cost of your Sun stock between the new Sun stock and the new Sun E&P stock. Fifty-three percent (53%) of the adjusted cost of your old Sun stock is your cost basis per share for your new Sun stock, and 47% of the adjusted cost of your old Sun stock is your cost basis per share for the new Sun E&P stock. Sun E&P changed its name to Oryx Energy Company. On February 26, 1999, Oryx Energy Company merged with Kerr-McGee Corporation through an exchange of stock. Kerr-McGee was acquired by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation on August 10, 2006. For additional information, contact the paying agent for Kerr-McGee stockholders, Wells Fargo, at 1-800-468-9716. | |
