                  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
    1 http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM and also  on the Company's  website
   at  2 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.
