**<u>Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.</u>**

On December 16, 2025, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton") announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a quarterly cash dividend of nineteen cents per share on its common stock, payable on January 15, 2026, to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2025. This is a one cent per share increase from the quarterly cash dividend that the Board declared on September 16, 2025. In addition, Fulton announced that the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $12.81 per share (equivalent to $0.32025 per depositary share) on its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Preferred Stock"), payable on January 15, 2026, to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2025, for the period from and including October 15, 2025 to, but excluding, January 15, 2026.

Fulton also announced that the Board approved the repurchase of shares of Fulton's common stock and other securities in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150 million, excluding fees, commissions, excise taxes and other ancillary expenses, commencing on January 1, 2026, and expiring on January 31, 2027 (the "2026 Program"). Under the 2026 Program, up to $25 million, in the aggregate, may be used to repurchase shares of the Preferred Stock, Fulton's 3.250% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 or Fulton's 3.750% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2035. Purchases may be made from time to time under the 2026 Program in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The 2026 Program may be discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board and does not commit Fulton to repurchase any of its securities. Purchases, if any, will be determined by management in its discretion and will depend upon a number of factors, including Fulton's capital position, liquidity, financial performance and alternate uses of capital, the market price of Fulton's securities, general market and economic conditions, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

On December 16, 2025, Fulton issued a press release announcing the dividend declarations and the 2026 Program, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
