Item 5.04: Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans

On December 15, 2008, Fulton Financial Corporation reported on a Form 8-K filed with the Commission a blackout period event with respect to participants in the Resource Bank Stock and 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Resource Plan”) during which participants would be temporarily unable to direct or diversify investments in Fulton Financial Corporation common stock in their individual accounts or obtain distributions from the Resource Plan. The blackout period began January 2, 2009 and was originally scheduled to end January 26, 2009. The blackout period actually ended on January 21, 2009. The blackout period ended early as a result of completion of the merger of the Resource Plan with and into the Fulton Financial Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan more quickly than anticipated.
