Stock Option Plans Suncor grants stock option awards as a form of retention and incentive compensation. Stock options granted by the company provide the holder with the right to purchase common shares at the market price on the grant date, subject to fulfilling vesting terms. Options granted have a seven-year life, vest annually over a three-year period and are accounted for as equity-settled awards. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the period and the weighted average assumptions used in their determination are noted below:
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | ​ | 2023 |  | ​ | 2022 |
Annual dividend per share (dollars) |  | ​ | 2.11 |  | ​ | 1.88 | ​
Risk-free interest rate |  | ​ | 3.66% | ​ | ​ | 1.73% | ​
Expected life |  | ​ | 4.5 years |  | ​ | 5 years | ​
Expected volatility |  | ​ | 45% |  | ​ | 42% | ​
Weighted average fair value per option (dollars) |  | ​ | 12.70 |  | ​ | 9.27 | ​
​ The expected life is based on historical stock option exercise data and current expectations. The expected volatility considers the historical volatility in the price of Suncor’s common shares over a period similar to the life of the options, and is indicative of future trends. The following table presents a summary of the activity related to Suncor’s stock option plans:

​ Share Unit Plans Suncor grants share units as a form of retention and incentive compensation. Share unit plans are accounted for as cash-settled awards. (a) Performance Share Units (PSUs) A PSU is a time-vested award entitling employees to receive varying degrees of cash (0%–200% of the company’s share price at time of vesting) contingent upon Suncor’s total shareholder return (stock price appreciation and dividend income) relative to a peer group of companies. PSUs vest approximately three years after the grant date. (b) Restricted Share Units (RSUs) A RSU is a time-vested award entitling employees to receive cash calculated based on an average of the company’s share price leading up to vesting. RSUs vest approximately three years after the grant date. In 2022, Syncrude’s Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) of approximately $123 million were converted into Suncor RSUs at a conversion price of $30.93. (c) Deferred Share Units (DSUs) A DSU is redeemable for cash or a common share for a period of time after a unitholder ceases employment or Board membership. The DSU Plan is limited to executives and members of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board of Directors receive an annual grant of DSUs as part of their compensation and may elect to receive their fees in cash only or in increments of 50% or 100% allocated to DSUs. Executives may elect to receive their annual incentive bonus in cash only or in increments of 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% allocated to DSUs.

​ Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) A SAR entitles the holder to receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the stated exercise price and the market price of the company’s common shares on the date the SAR is exercised, and is accounted for as a cash-settled award. SARs have a seven-year life and vest annually over a three-year period.
