                 Fuller, Smith and Turner plc ("Fuller's") 
 
                             Issue of D Shares 
 
  Further to the publication on 6 September 2019 of the explanatory circular 
   regarding the D Share Scheme (the "Circular"), and the passing of all the 
required resolutions at Fuller's General Meeting on 1 October 2019, Fuller's 
  announces that the allotment and issue of 552,318,406 D Shares relating to 
the D Share Scheme (such number representing 10 D Shares for each A Ordinary 
     Share and C Ordinary Share in issue and one D Share for each B Ordinary 
                        Share in issue at the Record Time) will occur today. 
 
         No application has been, or will be, made to the FCA or to the LSE, 
respectively, for any of the D Shares to be admitted to the Official List or 
   to trading on the LSE's main market for listed securities, nor will the D 
  Shares be listed or admitted to trading on any other recognised investment 
                                                                   exchange. 
 
No share certificates will be issued in respect of the D Shares and no CREST 
                                    accounts will be credited with D Shares. 
 
    As set out in the Circular, it is expected that Numis Securities Limited 
    ("Numis") (acting as principal, and not as agent, nominee or trustee for 
  Fuller's) will make an offer to purchase all of the D Shares (except those 
    held by the Fuller, Smith & Turner PLC Employee Share Trust 1998) for an 
 amount of 12.5 pence per D Share, free of all expenses and commissions (the 
   "D Share Purchase Offer") tomorrow, 3 October 2019. Each of the Directors 
 and the Company Secretary of Fuller's are irrevocably authorised (on behalf 
     of holders of the D Shares) to accept the D Share Purchase Offer and no 
     holders of D Shares are separately able to accept or reject the D Share 
     Purchase Offer. It is expected that a further announcement will be made 
                              tomorrow regarding the D Share Purchase Offer. 
 
  Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement have 
   the same meaning as those defined in the Circular, which can be viewed on
