Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 11, 2016, Fulton Financial Corporation (“Fulton”) and Fiserv Solutions, LLC (“Fiserv”), executed a Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) that will replace a similar agreement between Fulton and Fiserv Solutions, Inc. dated June 23, 2011. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, Fiserv will provide to Fulton and its subsidiary banks a substantial majority of the deposit and loan account processing services, mortgage loan processing services, electronic banking services, data warehouse, related software and ancillary services, and product and system development services, which are necessary for the conduct of the banking business of Fulton’s subsidiary banks. The initial term of the Master Agreement continues through December 31, 2023, subject to earlier termination of all, or a portion or portions, of the Master Agreement by either Fulton or Fiserv under the circumstances set forth in the Master Agreement. Except upon certain events of default by Fiserv or Fiserv’s bankruptcy or insolvency, termination of all or a portion of the Master Agreement by Fulton would require that Fulton pay to Fiserv a termination fee. Upon expiration of the initial term, or any subsequent renewal term, the term of the Master Agreement will automatically renew as provided for in the Master Agreement, unless either Fulton or Fiserv provides timely notice of non-renewal.

The foregoing brief description of the Master Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement, which is to be filed with Fulton’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
