Dear Shareholder:

2010 was a year of  significant improvement in our financial 

performance.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, net income 

available to common shareholders was $112.0 million or $0.59 per 

diluted share, which was up 90.3% over the $0.31 we reported in 2009.  

Also in 2010, we grew our mortgage banking income year-over-year, 

improved our net interest margin, grew core deposits, added business 

and consumer households, increased other income and reduced our 

operating expenses.  

We are pleased that we were able to strengthen our company’s 

performance despite ongoing economic challenges.  Loan growth 

was sluggish due to the continued slow pace of  economic recovery.  

Many customers remain in a “wait and see” mode, and are still 

reluctant to expand operations or take on new debt.  In addition, 

since the national economy is not recovering quite as quickly as some 

experts had hoped, some of  our customers continue to struggle to 

meet their obligations to us. Consequently, we expect elevated credit 

costs to continue to impact our performance in 2011.

As you might expect, when I talk with our shareholders, I am 

frequently asked about the quarterly cash dividend.  As I write 

this letter in early March, the board remains keenly aware that you 

would like to see your dividend increased.  Over the past year, I have 

emphasized four things that needed to happen before we could 

consider an increase.  First, we needed to pay off  our TARP funds, 

and as you know, we have done this.  Second, we needed to see our 

earnings improve, and we made good progress in 2010.  Third, we 

need to have a clearer understanding about the increased capital levels 

that will be required by bank regulators. While we are still awaiting 

some additional clarity around this issue, our capital position has 

been and remains strong.  Finally, we will need confidence in the 

sustainability of  a meaningful economic recovery. 

Your board of  directors has actively monitored these four areas and 

has recurring discussions about what level of  dividend is appropriate, 

given where our company and our nation are in the economic recovery 

process. As shareholders ourselves, your directors and management

In  May,  we  were  pleased  by  the  enthusiastic  response  from  the 

investment community to our $230 million common stock offering.  

In  July,  as  I  mentioned  earlier,  we  used  the  proceeds  from  this 

offering  to  redeem  the  $376.5  million  in  preferred  stock  that  we 

had issued to the U.S. Department of  the Treasury in connection 

with the TARP/Capital Purchase Program.  Then in September, we 

purchased the associated warrant from the Treasury, which enabled 

us to satisfy all of  our obligations under this program.  

In October, we marked the 25th anniversary of  our company’s 

listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Your board of  directors 

participated in NASDAQ's Opening Bell Ceremony and the event 

generated some very positive publicity for our company.

As you know, from time to time we have merged our subsidiary 

banks where it made sense to do so. In December, we merged 

Delaware National Bank into Fulton Bank.  Fulton Bank 

and Delaware National were both active in the southeastern 

Pennsylvania and northern Delaware markets. Because of  

Fulton Bank’s asset size, that bank name carried greater 

brand recognition throughout the area.  By merging these 

two contiguous banks, we continue to leverage the name and 

product capabilities of  the larger bank while maintaining the 

personal, professional banking style that our Delaware team has 

consistently provided over the years.

In January of  2011, a new director joined the Fulton Financial 

board: Lieutenant General Joe N. Ballard, US Army (Ret.), of  

Davidsonville, MD.  Joe has served on the board of  our subsidiary 

bank, The Columbia Bank, since 2006. His accomplishments

co-workers  and  customers,  thus  enabling  our  team  to 

actively  promote  our  company  as  a  great  place  to  work 

and as an outstanding financial partner and advisor. 

Our company experienced a number of  milestones in 2010:  

In April, Fulton Financial 

was recognized by Forbes 

as  one  of   the  100  Most 

Trustworthy  Companies 

in the nation. Of  the 8,000 

companies considered for 

the Top 100 list, we were 

the  only  bank    included 

on the mid-cap and large-

cap lists.  

Frankly,  this  objective, 

independent recognition 

from  Forbes  could  not 

have  come  at  a  better  time.      The  banking  industry  was 

working to recover from the negative perception caused 

by the financial crisis. Forbes wanted to identify the most 

trustworthy businesses that trade on American exchanges 

–  companies 

that  have  consistently  demonstrated 

transparent  and  conservative  accounting  practices  and 

solid  corporate  governance  and  management.    We  were 

pleased  to  be  selected  for  this  honor,  and  we  believe  it 

positively  differentiated  our  company  at  a  critical  time. 

The  recognition  also  enabled  us  to  boost  the  favorable 

attention  focused  on  our  banks  by  investors  and  by 

customers and prospects in the markets we serve.
