Forward-looking information

In the interest of providing you with information regarding Canadian Oil Sands Limited (the “Corporation”), including management’s assessment of the Corporation’s future plans and operations, certain statements and

graphs throughout this presentation contain “forward-looking information” under applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “anticipate”, “expect”, “believe”, “plan”, “intend”

or similar words suggesting future outcomes. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements and graphs (collectively “statements”) with respect to: future dividends and any

increase or decrease from current payment amounts; the expected sales volume in 2014; the expected operating expenses in 2014; the expected cash flow from operations and cash flow from operations per share in 2014;

the expected realized selling price for the Corporation’s product in 2014; the estimated value and amount of reserves recoverable and the time frame to recover such reserves; the estimated resources; the expected impact

on cash flow from operations and cash flow from operations per share from increasing/decreasing crude oil prices; the expected impact on cash flow from operations from increasing Syncrude production; the expected

foreign exchange rate in 2014; the expected West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) price in 2014; the expected average discount for synthetic crude oil (“SCO”) to WTI in 2014; the expected amount of total major project costs,

anticipated target in-service dates and estimated completion percentages for the Mildred Lake mine train replacements and the centrifuge plant at the Mildred Lake mine; the expectation that the major project spending will

taper off in 2015; the expected major project spending in 2014-2015; the estimate that regular maintenance capital costs for the next few years will be similar to 2014; the expectation that the Corporation will finance the

major projects primarily with existing cash balances and cash flow from operations; the belief that the Corporation is positioned to fund its 2014 capital program and support its dividend while maintaining net debt within the

targeted range; all expectations regarding net debt; the anticipated amount of current taxes in 2014; the expected increase in free cash flow in 2015 assuming continued strength in world crude oil prices; plans regarding

crude oil hedges in the future; the expected benefits of the management services agreement; the anticipated benefits in extraction and upgrading resulting from Syncrude’s reliability initiatives; the belief that the reliability

initiatives in place at Syncrude will lead to higher production levels; expectations regarding the Corporation’s cash levels; Crown royalties payable; the anticipated scope and economics of the Mildred Lake mine extension

(“MLX”) project; the expectation that the MLX project should allow the Mildred Lake mine and the Aurora North mine to operate into the 2030s and 2040s, respectively; the expectation that Syncrude will submit a regulatory

application for the MLX project in 2014; the timing of construction and spending for the MLX project; the expectation that the MLX project should be the most economic new mining production to come on stream in the next

ten years because it benefits from existing infrastructure and expectations regarding the timing of planned/announced market access pipelines, and all expectations regarding the SCO-WTI-Brent differentials.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking

statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking

statements will not occur. Although the Corporation believes that the assumptions and expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable and reflect the current views of the Corporation with

respect to future events, there can be no assurance that such assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct.

The factors or assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based include, but are not limited to: the assumptions outlined in the Corporation’s guidance document as posted on the Corporation’s website at

www.cdnoilsands.com as of the date hereof and as subsequently amended or replaced from time to time, including without limitation, the assumptions as to production, operating expenses and oil prices; the successful and

timely implementation of capital projects; Syncrude’s major project spending plans; the ability to obtain regulatory and joint venture owner approval; our ability to either generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet

our current and future obligations or obtain external sources of debt and equity capital; the continuation of assumed tax, royalty and regulatory regimes and the accuracy of the estimates of our reserves and resources

volumes.

Some of the risks and other factors which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this AIF include, but are not limited to:

volatility of crude oil prices; volatility of the SCO to WTI differential; the impact that pipeline capacity and apportionment and refinery demand have on prices for SCO; the impacts of regulatory changes especially those

which relate to royalties, taxation, tailings, water and the environment; the impact of new technologies on the cost of oil sands mining; the impacts of rising costs associated with tailings and water management; the inability

of Syncrude to obtain required consents, permits or approvals, including without limitation, the inability of Syncrude to obtain approval to release water from its operations; the impact of Syncrude being unable to meet the

conditions of its approval for its tailings management plan under Directive 074; various events which could disrupt operations including fires, equipment failures and severe weather; unsuccessful or untimely implementation

of capital or maintenance projects; the impact of technology on operations and processes and how new complex technology may not perform as expected; the obtaining of required owner approvals from the Syncrude

Participants for expansions, operational issues and contractual issues; labour turnover and shortages and the productivity achieved from labour in the Fort McMurray area; uncertainty of estimates with respect to reserves

and resources; the supply and demand metrics for oil and natural gas; the variances of stock market activities generally; currency and interest rate fluctuations; volatility of natural gas prices; Canadian Oil Sands’ ability to

either generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our current and future obligations or obtain external sources of debt and equity capital; the inability of the Corporation to continue to meet the listing requirements

of the TSX; general economic, business and market conditions and such other risks and uncertainties described in the Corporation’s Annual Information Form dated February 20, 2014 and in the reports and filings made

with securities regulatory authorities from time to time by the Corporation which are available on the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Corporation’s website at www.cdnoilsands.com.

In this presentation we refer to additional GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures that do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). We refer to

additional GAAP financial measures such as cash flow from operations, cash flow from operations on a per share basis and net debt. For more information on additional GAAP financial measures please refer to our 2013

Annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis which is available on the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Corporation’s website at www.cdnoilsands.com. In this presentation we also refer to

1. All amounts gross to Syncrude. Canadian Oil Sands Limited, through its wholly-owned partnership, holds a 36.74% interest in the Syncrude Project. Based on independent reserves and resources estimates by GLJ Petroleum Consultants, Ltd. as of Dec. 31/13. See reserves and resources cautionary advisory in Canadian Oil Sands’ Annual Information Form dated Feb. 20/14 and the definitions and forward-looking information advisory.

2. Calculated as Proved Developed Producing Reserves of 2.0 billion barrels plus Probable Producing Reserves of 0.3 billion barrels. Probable Producing Reserves calculated as Total Probable Reserves of 923 million barrels (net to COS) less Probable Undeveloped Reserves of 812 million barrels (net to COS) equals 111 million barrels (net to COS) or 0.3 billion barrels (100% Syncrude).

3. Calculated as 812 million barrels (net to COS) grossed up to reflect 100% Syncrude.

4. Reserve Life Index (RLI) based on COS January 30, 2014 Guidance of approximately 105 million barrels per year of Syncrude production (38.6 million barrels net to COS).

2014 Crown Royalty Calculation

1. Bitumen revenue is based on an SCO yield of 87% and a bitumen price equal to 60% of C$WTI. 2. Royalty rate is the greater of 25% of net revenue or 1% of revenue. 3. As part of the transition to the generic royalty regime, Syncrude is obligated to pay additional Crown Royalties of $975 million over 2010-

2015. The $57 million shown above is COS’ share of the 2014 expense based on accrual accounting; actual cash payments are per the schedule on previous slide. In any given year, the difference will be reflected as a change in Crown royalty payable.

See COS’ 2012 Annual MD&A dated Feb. 20/14 for further discussion on Crown royalties.
