   HOUSTON (DTN) -- Sunoco, Inc. announced today that Frederick A. Henderson 
has joined the company as a senior vice president to help prepare for the 
previously announced separation of SunCoke Energy from Sunoco. 

   Henderson, 52, former president and CEO of General Motors, will become 
chairman and chief executive officer of SunCoke Energy upon completion of the 
separation. 

   As announced in June, Sunoco plans to separate SunCoke Energy from Sunoco as 
part of a strategy to provide higher shareholder value. Sunoco plans to effect 
the separation in the first half of 2011, subject to market, regulatory and 
other conditions, and is currently reviewing a variety of potential separation 
transactions. 

   "Fritz is an exceptionally gifted and highly experienced executive with the 
business and financial expertise needed to lead SunCoke Energy as an 
independent company and drive its global growth strategy," said Lynn L. 
Elsenhans, Sunoco's chairman and CEO. "His broad global experience managing 
businesses in many of the world's major markets will be invaluable." 

   Henderson said he is "excited" to lead SunCoke Energy. 

   "I see significant global growth potential for the company," he said. "I 
look forward to building upon the strong foundation that has already been 
established to pursue the exciting opportunities ahead." 

   Michael J. Thomson, president of SunCoke since 2008, will assume the 
additional role of chief operating officer upon completion of SunCoke's 
separation from Sunoco. 

   Henderson held a variety of management positions during his 25 years at 
General Motors, joining the company in 1984. In 2004, Henderson was appointed 
chairman of GM Europe. He then became GM's vice chairman and chief financial 
officer in 2006, then president and chief operating officer before being 
appointed president and chief executive officer in 2009. 

   Sunoco is a transportation fuel provider, with operations located primarily 
in the East Coast and Midwest regions of the United States. The company 
operates more than 4,700 branded retail locations that market transportation 
fuels and convenience store merchandise in 23 states.
