Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On July&nbsp;18, 2016, the Fulton Financial Corporation (&#147;Fulton&#148;) Board of Directors
elected Scott A. Snyder, Ph.D. (&#147;Dr. Snyder&#148;), age 51, to the Fulton Board of Directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since 2011, Dr.&nbsp;Snyder has served as the
president and chief strategy officer of the Boston- and Philadelphia-based Mobiquity, Inc., a mobile tech company that focuses on digital strategy and engineering enhanced mobile experiences. In addition to his work with Mobiquity, Dr.&nbsp;Snyder
is a senior fellow in the Management Department at the Wharton School and an adjunct faculty member in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr.&nbsp;Snyder earned his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in Systems
Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, and an Executive Degree from the University of Southern California. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On July&nbsp;19, 2016, Fulton issued
a press release, attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference to this Current Report on Form 8-K, to announce the election of Dr.&nbsp;Snyder. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prior to his election, the Fulton Board of Directors determined that Dr.&nbsp;Snyder is an independent director pursuant to NASDAQ and Securities and Exchange
Commission rules. Dr.&nbsp;Snyder will hold office for a term expiring at Fulton&#146;s annual meeting of shareholders in 2017, and until his successor is elected and qualified. In addition, he will serve as a member of Fulton&#146;s Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee and Risk Committee. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There is no arrangement or understanding between Dr.&nbsp;Snyder and any other person pursuant to
which Dr.&nbsp;Snyder was selected as a director. From time to time, Fulton&#146;s subsidiary banks enter into lending and other transactions in the ordinary course of business with certain of Fulton&#146;s executive officers, directors (including,
possibly, Dr.&nbsp;Snyder), nominees, and their associates, and Fulton expects to have such transactions with these parties in the future. Such transactions are on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable loans and transactions with persons not related to Fulton, and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. There are no other current or currently proposed
transactions as to which Fulton or any of its subsidiaries is a participant and in which Dr.&nbsp;Snyder has or will have a material direct or indirect interest, and which would be reportable pursuant to Item&nbsp;404(a) of Regulation S-K. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dr.&nbsp;Snyder will receive the standard compensatory and other agreements and arrangements provided to other non-employee directors of Fulton, including
awards under Fulton&#146;s 2011 Directors&#146; Equity Participation Plan and payments for meeting and retainer fees as described in Fulton&#146;s Proxy Statement dated April&nbsp;4, 2016. </P>
