On February 8, 2008, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton") announced that on February 11, 2008 at approximately 4:25 pm eastern time, R. Scott Smith, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fulton, and Charles J. Nugent, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Fulton, are scheduled to make a presentation to attendees at the 2008 Sterne Agee Bank & Thrift Symposium that will take place on February 11 and 12 in Orlando, Florida.
Sterne Agee is broadcasting the event via teleconference. Instructions on how to access the teleconference in a listen only mode, or to hear a recording until February 29, 2008, are contained in Fulton’s February 8, 2008 press release that is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference.
For this symposium, Fulton will be using the presentation that was included with Fulton’s Current Report on Form 8-K as exhibit 99.1 filed with the SEC on January 30, 2008 (“Investor Presentation”). Fulton has posted this Investor Presentation on its Investor Information website at www.fult.com under presentations. This Investor Presentation provides an overview of Fulton's strategy and performance and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for any purpose.
Investor presentation material may contain forward-looking statements about Fulton's growth and acquisition strategies, new products and services, and future financial performance, including earnings and dividends per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, efficiency ratio and capital ratio. Forward-looking statements are encouraged by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking information is based upon certain underlying assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Because of the possibility of change in the underlying assumptions, actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that may affect future results include: pricing pressures on loans and deposits, actions of bank and non-bank competitors, changes in local and national economic conditions, changes in regulatory requirements, actions of the Federal Reserve Board, Fulton's success in merger and acquisition integration, and customer acceptance of Fulton's products and services. Fulton undertakes no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect current events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
