   Important information relating to financial advisers

   N. M. Rothschild & Sons Limited, which is authorised and regulated by  the
   Financial Conduct Authority in the  United Kingdom, is acting  exclusively
   for Fuller's and for no  one else in connection  with the Disposal and  is
   not, and  will not  be,  responsible to  anyone  other than  Fuller's  for
   providing the protections afforded to its clients nor for providing advice
   in relation to  the Disposal,  the contents  of this  announcement or  any
   transaction, arrangement or other matter referred to in this announcement.

   Cautionary statement

   This announcement is  not intended to,  and does not  constitute, or  form
   part of, any offer to sell or  an invitation to purchase or subscribe  for
   any  securities  or  a  solicitation  of  any  vote  or  approval  in  any
   jurisdiction.  Fuller's  Ordinary Shareholders  are advised  to  carefully
   read the Circular.  Any  response to the Disposal  should be made only  on
   the basis of the information in the Circular.

   Forward-looking statements

   This announcement contains statements which are,  or may be deemed to  be,
   "forward-looking  statements"  which  are   prospective  in  nature.   All
   statements other than  statements of historical  fact are  forward-looking
   statements.  They are based on current expectations and projections  about
   future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties  which
   could cause actual results  to differ materially  from the future  results
   expressed or implied  by the forward-looking  statements.  Often, but  not
   always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of a  date
   in the future  or forward-looking  words such as  "plans", "expects",  "is
   expected",  "is   subject   to",   "budget",   "scheduled",   "estimates",
   "forecasts",  "intends",  "anticipates",  "believes",  "targets",  "aims",
   "projects" or words or terms of similar substance or the negative of those
   terms, as well as variations of such words and phrases or statements  that
   certain actions,  events or  results  "may", "could",  "should",  "would",
   "might" or "will"  be taken, occur  or be achieved.   Such statements  are
   qualified in  their  entirety  by the  inherent  risks  and  uncertainties
   surrounding  future  expectations  or  events  that  are  beyond  Fuller's
   control.  Forward-looking  statements  include  statements  regarding  the
   intentions,  beliefs  or  current  expectations  of  Fuller's  concerning,
   without limitation: (i)  future capital  expenditure, expenses,  revenues,
   earnings,  synergies,   economic  performance,   indebtedness,   financial
   condition, dividend policy, losses and future prospects; (ii) business and
   management strategies  and  the  expansion  and  growth  of  the  Fuller's
   operations; and (iii)  the effects  of global economic  conditions on  the
   Fuller's business.

   Such forward-looking  statements  involve  known  and  unknown  risks  and
   uncertainties that  could significantly  affect expected  results and  are
   based on  certain key  assumptions.   Many factors  may cause  the  actual
   results,  performance  or  achievements  of  Fuller's  to  be   materially
   different from any future  results, performance or achievements  expressed
   or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could
   cause the  actual  results, performance  or  achievements of  Fuller's  to
   differ materially from the expectations  of Fuller's include, among  other
   things,  general  business  and  economic  conditions  globally,  industry
   trends, competition, changes in government and other regulation (including
   licensing) and policy,  including in relation  to the environment,  health
   and safety and  taxation, labour  relations and  work stoppages,  interest
   rates and currency  fluctuations, changes  in its  business strategy,  the
   outcome of  any litigation,  the  impact of  any acquisitions  or  similar
   transactions,  information  technology  system  and  technology  failures,
   political   and   economic   uncertainty   and   other   factors.     Such
   forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in light of  such
   factors.  Neither Fuller's nor any of its directors, officers or  advisers
   provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of
   the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in  this
   announcement will actually occur.   You are cautioned  not to place  undue
   reliance on these forward-looking statements,  which speak only as of  the
   date hereof.  Forward-looking  statements contained  in this  announcement
   apply only as at the date  of this announcement. Other than in  accordance
   with its  legal or  regulatory obligations  (including under  the  Listing
   Rules and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules), Fuller's is not
   under any obligation  and Fuller's  expressly disclaims  any intention  or
   obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether  as
   a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

   The  release,  publication  or   distribution  of  this  announcement   in
   jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom  may be restricted by law  and
   therefore any persons  who are  subject to  the laws  of any  jurisdiction
   other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves about, and observe,
   any applicable requirements.  This announcement has been prepared for  the
   purposes of complying with the Listing Rules and the information disclosed
   may not  be the  same as  that which  would have  been disclosed  if  this
   announcement had been prepared in accordance with laws and regulations  of
   any jurisdiction outside of England.
