On October 27, 2020, Dylan Bramhall was appointed Chief Financial Officer of Sunoco GP LLC (the “Company”), the general partner of Sunoco LP (the “Partnership”).

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Bramhall’s employment, he will receive an annual base salary of $345,000. He will also be eligible for a cash bonus target of 100% of his base salary, subject to continued employment and less applicable withholdings, which will be paid on the same date that incentive cash bonuses are paid to the Company’s other senior executives. In addition, Mr. Bramhall will be eligible to participate in the Partnership’s Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), with a target award of 200% of his base salary and with an initial award of 20,000 restricted phantom units of the Partnership to be granted upon the commencement of his employment. These restricted phantom units will be subject to vesting over an approximate five-year period with 60% vesting on December 5, 2023 and 40% vesting on December 5, 2025, based on continued employment with the Company on each such vesting date.
