Item 8.01 – Other Events
 
 Under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a company’s directors and officers and other persons who are not in possession of material nonpublic information regarding the company may adopt a pre-arranged plan or contract (a “10b5-1 Plan”) for the purchase or sale of company securities under specified conditions and at specified times. 10b5-1 Plans permit insiders to buy, sell and undertake other transactions in their company’s securities over a designated period of time by establishing the prearranged written plans at a time when they are not in possession of material non-public information.  Thus, under 10b5-1 Plans, insiders can effect transactions in a company’s securities while avoiding concerns about transactions occurring at a time when they might possess material nonpublic information.  
 
The Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton") Securities Trades by Officers and Directors Compliance Procedure permits executive officers, directors and certain other individuals of Fulton (“Fulton Insiders”) to trade in Fulton‘s securities through the adoption of, and compliance with, a 10b5-1 Plan.  10b5-1 Plans proposed by Fulton Insiders must be submitted to, and approved by, Fulton’s Legal Department prior to Fulton Insiders’ adoption of such Plans.  Recently, Fulton’s Legal Department approved the implementation of 10b5-1 Plans for certain Fulton Insiders. Additional 10b5-1 Plans may be approved by the Legal Department, and implemented by Fulton Insiders, in the future.
 
Transactions made under Fulton Insiders’ 10b5-1 Plans will be disclosed publicly, as required, through Form 4 and Form 144 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; such filings will indicate that the reported transactions were effected under 10b5-1 Plans. Except as may be required by law, Fulton does not undertake to report the approval and implementation of  specific Rule 10b5-1 Plans of Fulton Insiders , the terms and conditions of  such 10b5-1 Plans  or the  modification or termination of  10b5-1 Plans.
