Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 9, 2021, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton") posted a new corporate presentation (the "Corporate Presentation") on its Investor Relations website at www.fult.com. The Corporate Presentation, attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference, updates previous Corporate Presentations and provides an overview of Fulton's strategy and performance.
On February 9, 2021, Fulton also announced that its Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $75 million of shares of Fulton’s common stock, or approximately 3.2 percent of Fulton’s outstanding shares, based on the closing price of Fulton’s common stock and the number of shares outstanding on February 5, 2021. This approval expires on December 31, 2021. On February 9, 2021, Fulton issued a press release announcing the repurchase program, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Form 8-K provided under Item 7.01, including all exhibits attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing of Fulton under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference in such filing.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Exhibits hereto, may contain forward-looking statements with respect to Fulton’s financial condition, results of operations and business. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "should," "will," "could," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "future," "intends," "projects," the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements may include projections of, or guidance on, Fulton’s future financial performance, expected levels of future expenses, including future credit losses, anticipated growth strategies, descriptions of new business initiatives and anticipated trends in Fulton’s business or financial results. In addition, management’s "2021 Outlook" contained in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report is comprised of forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts, nor assurance of future performance. Instead, they are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of Fulton’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of Fulton’s control, and actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not unduly rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date when made. Fulton undertakes no obligation, other

than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
A discussion of certain risks and uncertainties affecting Fulton, and some of the factors that could cause Fulton's actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, can be found in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Fulton’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020 and other current and periodic reports, which have been or will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are or will be available in the Investor Relations section of Fulton's website (www.fult.com) and on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website (www.sec.gov).
