On July 16, 2012, Fulton Financial Corporation (“Fulton”) received the resignation of Willem Kooyker, age 69, who has been a director of Fulton since 2005. In addition, Director Kooyker was previously a Director of Somerset Valley Bank from 1990 until that institution was merged into another Fulton affiliate bank in 2007. Mr. Kooyker’s decision to retire from the Fulton Board of Directors was not the result of any disagreement relating to Fulton’s operations, policies or practices and his retirement from Fulton was effective July 17, 2012 when it was accepted by Fulton’s Board of Directors. Director Kooyker’s many years of service and dedication to Fulton are greatly appreciated.
