Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
The 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Fulton Financial Corporation (“Fulton”) was held on April 30, 2010. At Fulton’s 2010 Annual Meeting, Shareholders approved all of management’s proposals outlined in Fulton’s March 26, 2010 proxy statement which included: (i) the election of ten (10) directors, all of whom were then serving as directors of Fulton, for terms of one (1) year and until their successors are elected and qualified; (ii) a non-binding resolution to approve the compensation of Fulton’s named executive officers; and (iii) the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the independent auditor of Fulton for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. Abstentions and broker non-votes were counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum was present, but were not treated as votes cast on a proposal. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes did not have the effect of a vote for or against such proposal and were not counted in determining the number of votes required for approval.
 
The following table reflects the tabulation of the votes with respect to each director who was elected at the 2010 Annual Meeting:
