Fuller, Smith and Turner P.L.C. ("Fuller's")

Result of Extraordinary General Meeting and change to half year results announcement date

Further to the circular posted to Shareholders on 6 September 2019 (the "Circular"), Fuller's announces that at the Extraordinary General Meeting held today to approve: (i) the amendment of the Articles of Association of Fuller's; (ii) the capitalisation of up to £551,357 of Fuller's share premium account in order to issue D Shares to Ordinary Shareholders in the proportions set out in the Circular; and (iii) the Option Agreement (together the "Resolutions"), all of the Resolutions were passed by the requisite majority on a show of hands.

Accordingly, Fuller's announces that the D Shares will be issued on 2 October 2019. The record time for entitlement to the D Shares is 6.00 p.m. today, 1 October 2019. A further announcement will be made on 2 October 2019 regarding the issue of the D Shares.

Following on from the Extraordinary General Meeting, Fuller's announced that the date of its half year results announcement has changed to 12 December 2019.

The Return of Capital is expected to result in the value of each Ordinary Share falling by approximately the same amount of cash as is being returned to Ordinary Shareholders (i.e. approximately £1.25 per A Ordinary Share and C Ordinary Share, and 12.5 pence per B Ordinary Share).

The full text of the Resolutions can be found in the Circular, which is available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM and also on the Company's website at www.fullers.co.uk/corporate.  A copy of the resolutions passed as special business will shortly also be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism for inspection.

Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as those defined in the Circular.
