Item 8.01 – Other Events.
On November 8, 2011, Fulton Financial Corporation and Fulton Bank, N.A. were informed of the sudden passing of John O. Shirk who was a long time member of both boards. Mr. Shirk was currently of counsel with Barley Snyder and was a partner of the firm until 2007. He served for many years as general counsel for Franklin & Marshall College and represented numerous manufacturers, distributors and retail firms. He was listed among Pennsylvania's "Super Lawyers" by Law & Politics on several occasions, served on several boards and was deeply involved in the community for numerous years.
Mr. Shirk first joined the Fulton Financial Corporation and Fulton Bank, N.A. Boards of Directors in September of 1983. R. Scott Smith, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said that "during his more than 28 years of service, his legal experience, coupled with his considerable expertise in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, and strategic business planning, were tremendous assets to our organization. Those who knew him personally will no doubt remember his remarkable intellect, keen observatory skills, and his candor. Our thoughts are with his wife and family at this difficult time."
