Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Fulton Financial Corporation (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 21, 2009.

Specifically, this Form 8-K/A corrects certain dollar amounts and percentage changes related to the Company’s loan portfolio presented in the earnings release filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K and in the supplemental financial information filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K. The primary correction, in comparison to the amounts reported in the earnings release, was an increase in construction loans at June 30, 2009 of approximately $33 million, with a corresponding decrease in commercial loans. Similar reclassifications, primarily between construction and commercial loans, were made among average loan balances, by type, for all periods presented.

The corrections to the earnings release have no impact on reported earnings or the total amount of the loan portfolio. Thus, while the Company does not believe that the corrections are material, this Form 8-K/A is being filed so that the amounts set forth in the earnings release correspond to the amounts expected to be included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

This Form 8-K/A amends and restates in its entirety Item 2.02 and Item 9.01 to reflect this information.
