Dear Shareholder

Notice of Annual General Meeting

You will find set out in the appendix to this letter a notice convening the Annual General Meeting of the Company (the "Notice of Meeting") to be held on Tuesday, 24 July 2018. Also enclosed are the Company's Reports and Accounts for the 52 weeks ended 31 March 2018.

This letter provides details of the items of business, including special business (items 10 to 15), which are being considered at the Annual General Meeting and require explanation. The details of these resolutions are set out below, in the same order as you will find the resolutions in the Notice of Meeting and on your proxy form(s).

Ordinary Business

Resolution 3 – Directors' Remuneration

The Remuneration Report, included in the Annual Reports and Accounts, gives details of Directors' remuneration for the 52 weeks ended 31 March 2018 on the basis of the Remuneration Policy you approved at the 2017 Annual General Meeting. Your vote is being sought on this report as in previous years.

Resolutions 4 to 8 – Reappointment of Directors

On the recommendation of the Nominations Committee, the Board appointed Peter Swinburn and Juliette Stacey as Directors since the last Annual General Meeting. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, their appointment will cease at the Annual General Meeting, but being eligible they offer themselves for election.

The Board asked John Dunsmore to serve an additional year beyond the expiry of his nine-year term at this year's Annual General Meeting. This provides continuity and stability as our new Board Members settle into their roles. The Board considers that John Dunsmore continues to be independent. Following Alastair Kerr's departure on 21 January 2018, John Dunsmore became Chairman of the Remuneration Committee. Peter Swinburn will take over the role of Senior Independent Director on 1 July 2018.

All the Directors of the Company retire by rotation on a regular basis and, provided they are happy to continue to act, they stand for reappointment at the Annual General Meeting. This year Simon Emeny and Sir James Fuller are putting themselves forward for reappointment.

Biographical details for all Directors including those being put forward for reappointment can be found on page 35 of the Annual Reports and Accounts 2018 included with this Notice of Meeting. The Board confirms, as required by the UK Corporate Governance Code, that the performance of each individual director being proposed for reappointment continues to be effective and to demonstrate commitment to their role.

Special Business

Resolution 10 – Authority to Allot New Shares

This is a resolution which we ask you to pass every year. Put simply, your Directors are authorised to allot new shares in the capital of the Company but there are limits to this authority. This year the Directors seek a general authority to allot only an aggregate nominal amount of share capital of £1,100,068 which represents 5% of the total issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 30 May 2018. This amount corresponds to the number of shares over which we are seeking authority to disapply pre-emption rights by way of Resolution 11. The Directors intend to use this authority only if required for the purpose of satisfying exercises of share options. However, it is thought prudent to have the flexibility of having the authority in place. The Directors are not seeking authority to allot any further nominal capital in connection with a rights issue, as they would intend to seek shareholder approval should a rights issue ever be contemplated. As at 30 May 2018, 1,525,079 A ordinary shares of 40p each and 4,558,009 B ordinary shares of 4p each were held in treasury.

Resolution 11 – Authority to Allot New Shares Without Applying Pre-emption Rights

This is a special resolution which we ask you to pass every year. The effect of the resolution is to allow your Directors to allot shares in the Company or sell treasury shares in certain circumstances without first offering them proportionately to all existing shareholders (the Company would not be treated as a shareholder in this respect, by virtue of any holding of treasury shares). This might be desirable, for example, in relation to the issue of certain share options. There are restrictions imposed by law with regard to this power and we confirm that, in connection with this resolution, the aggregate nominal amount of share capital to which this resolution relates is £1,100,068 representing 5% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company excluding treasury shares, or 4.82% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company including treasury shares, as at 30 May 2018.

Resolution 12 – Authority to Buy Back A Ordinary Shares

This is a special resolution which we ask you to pass every year. It authorises the Company to buy back its own A ordinary shares in the market. The resolution sets out the maximum number of shares which the Company can buy, the highest and lowest price which it can pay for them and when the authority expires. It follows the rules and requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and those of the UK Listing Authority.

The Company is committed to managing its share capital effectively and the Directors consider it important to review the possibility of buying back A ordinary shares. The Company will only exercise this authority if to do so would result in an increase in earnings per share and it is in the best interests of shareholders generally.

It is a requirement of the regulations surrounding share buybacks that the Company confirms the total number of options to subscribe for equity shares of the Company as at the latest practicable date before publication of this document, namely 30 May 2018. As at that date, there were 765,110 options outstanding representing, in each case excluding treasury shares, 0.58% of the ordinary shares in issue and 2.38% of the A ordinary shares in issue. If the authority to buy back shares granted by the proposed authority is used in full and no further share options are issued by the Company, the options outstanding will at that time, in each case excluding treasury shares, represent 0.60% of the total number of ordinary shares in issue and 2.80% of the A ordinary shares.

The Directors consider that, should the Company exercise its authority to make market purchases of A ordinary shares, the holding of shares in treasury would provide advantages to the Company, as it would enable the Company to re-issue the treasury shares quickly and cost-effectively and could be used by the Company for purchases for the Long-Term Incentive Plan, for example.

Resolution 13 – Amendment to Notice Period for Calling of General Meetings

This is a special resolution which approves the calling of general meetings other than Annual General Meetings on not less than 14 days' notice, as is currently permitted under the Companies Act 2006 and the Company's Articles of Association. We understand that some institutional investors are not very supportive of companies having this power, but whilst your Board would strive to give as much notice as possible in any given situation, they believe it is important to retain the flexibility for calling general meetings at 14 days' notice, for example to enable it to respond quickly to business opportunities which may arise and which may need shareholder approval. We confirm that should a meeting be called on such short notice, the Company would make available to all shareholders facilities to vote by electronic means. The approval of this resolution, if given, would cease to be effective at the 2019 Annual General Meeting, when it is intended that shareholders will be asked to renew the approval.

In addition to the regular business at the Annual General Meeting, we are taking the opportunity to seek your approval to replace the existing Long-Term Incentive Plan and Executive Share Option Scheme, which are due to expire in July 2018. Summaries of the principal terms of the new Long-Term Incentive Plan and the new Executive Share Option Scheme are set out on pages 9 to 13. These are largely identical to the existing scheme rules but have been updated to reflect legislative changes since the adoption of the schemes in 2008.

Resolution 14 – Executive Share Option Scheme 2018 ("ESOS 2018")

The ESOS 2018 will be a tax-advantaged "Schedule 4 CSOP Scheme". It will provide for the grant of options to employees and full-time directors over shares worth up a maximum value of £30,000 at any one time. Such options will vest on the third anniversary of the date of award to the extent that the performance conditions have been met. The options will be subject to a performance target of real growth in earnings per share ("EPS") of 3% per year. No income tax is due on the exercise of options granted under the ESOS 2018 provided that such exercise takes place between three and ten years after the option was granted.

Resolution 15 – Long-Term Incentive Plan 2018 ("LTIP 2018")

The LTIP 2018 will provide for conditional awards of shares to be made to employees and full-time directors worth up to 110% of an employee's basic salary each year. Such awards will vest on the third anniversary of the date of award to the extent that the performance conditions have been met. The awards will be subject to performance targets on a sliding scale of real growth in EPS of 3-8% per year.

Action to be Taken

You will find enclosed:

• if you hold any A ordinary shares of 40 pence each, B ordinary shares of 4 pence each or C ordinary shares of 40 pence each, a white proxy form(s) with a purple bar across it in respect of the Annual General Meeting
• if you are a participant in the Share Incentive Plan, a white indicative voting form with a blue bar across it, which includes a note from the Trustee of the Plan in respect of the Annual General Meeting.

Whether or not you intend to be present at the meeting, you are urged to complete and return your proxy form(s) and/or indicative voting form in accordance with the instructions printed on them so that they are received by the Company's Registrars not later than 24 hours before the time fixed for the meeting (48 hours in the case of the indicative voting form). The return of a proxy form will not prevent a member from attending and voting in person at the meeting.

Recommendation

Your Directors consider that all the resolutions contained in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its members as a whole and are most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole. They recommend you vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting, as they intend to do in respect of their beneficial shareholdings.

Yours sincerely

Michael Turner Chairman

APPENDIX THREE

SUMMARY OF THE FULLER, SMITH & TURNER P.L.C. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN ("LTIP 2018")

1. General

• 1.1. Awards under the LTIP 2018 will take the form of conditional awards of shares ("performance shares") to selected employees and full-time directors. No payment is due on the grant or vesting of Awards.
• 1.2. The LTIP 2018 will be administered by the Remuneration Committee.
• 1.3. Benefits under the LTIP 2018 are not transferable (except on death) and are not pensionable.

2. Limits

• 2.1. The maximum value of Ordinary Shares (as at the relevant dates of grant) over which an individual may be granted awards in any financial year of the Company shall not exceed 110% of their annual salary.
• 2.2. The overall limits on the number of shares that may be issued under the LTIP 2018 is the same as for the ESOS 2018, as described in paragraph 2.2 of Appendix 1 above.

3. Grant of Awards

• 3.1. Awards may be granted during a 42-day period following shareholders' approval and any announcement of the Company's interim and final results, and outside these periods if the Remuneration Committee resolves that exceptional circumstances exist.
• 3.2. No Awards may be granted when there is a restriction on dealing pursuant to the Market Abuse Regulation or any other code or statute.
• 3.3. No Awards may be granted more than 10 years after the approval of the LTIP 2018 by shareholders.
• 3.4. Eligible employees are all employees and Executive Directors of the Group who are required to work at least 25 hours per week for the Group.

4. Performance Conditions

• 4.1. The performance condition or conditions determined by the Remuneration Committee as attaching to each award under the LTIP 2018 will be described in the Company's report and accounts.
• 4.2. Awards made under the LTIP 2018 will only vest to the extent that the performance condition is satisfied. The performance condition will be determined at the date of grant of the award and will require underlying sustained financial growth of the Company.
• 4.3. The Remuneration Committee's intention is that the number of performance shares vesting (on a sliding scale) under the first LTIP 2018 awards should be determined by the extent that the percentage increase in earnings per share ("EPS") exceeds the percentage increase in RPI over the performance period.
• 4.4. 40% of an award will vest if EPS increases by 3% more than RPI each year; 100% will vest if EPS increases by 8% more than RPI each year. Increases in EPS over RPI in the between these two points will result in performance shares vesting on a sliding scale.

5. Clawback

• 5.1. The Remuneration Committee may apply clawback where at any time before or within two years of vesting it determines that the financial results of the Company were misstated, an error was made in any calculation or in assessing performance, which resulted in the number of Ordinary Shares in respect of which the award was granted or vested being more than it should have been.
• 5.2. The Committee may also apply clawback at any time if it is discovered that the Participant committed an act or omission prior to vesting that justified, or would have justified, summary dismissal from office or employment.

6. Vesting of Performance Shares

• 6.1. Performance shares will vest in whole or in part on the third anniversary of the date of grant to the extent that the performance conditions have been met.
• 6.2. Awards of performance shares will lapse if it is established that the performance condition cannot be satisfied. Performance shares will not normally vest unless the participant is still an employee of the Group on the relevant vesting date.
• 6.3. If a participant ceases to be in employment by reason of death, injury, disability, redundancy, retirement or the transfer of the undertaking or part undertaking in which the participant is employed or under other circumstances if the Committee determines that he shall be treated as a good leaver, the performance condition will be tested. To the extent that it has been satisfied, performance shares will vest and the number of performance shares will be reduced pro rata to take into account the reduced vesting period.
• 6.4. If, before the relevant vesting date, there is a change of control of the Company, the performance condition will be tested as of the day on which control of the Company passes. To the extent that the performance condition has been satisfied the performance shares will vest and the number of performance shares will be reduced pro rata to take into account the reduced vesting period.

7. Lapse

Awards lapse on the earliest of the following events:

• 7.1. The participant ceasing to be in employment unless the award vests as described above; or
• 7.2. Upon a resolution being passed or an order being made by the Court for the compulsory winding up of the Company; or
• 7.3. If the performance conditions are not met; or
• 7.4. if a participant is declared bankrupt or enters into a scheme of arrangement or compromise with their creditors; or
• 7.5. immediately upon the participant purporting to transfer, assign or charge their award.

8. Variation of share capital

Awards granted under the LTIP 2018 may be adjusted to reflect variations in the Company's share capital.

9. Grant of options and issue of shares to Trustee

Awards will usually be satisfied using shares in the Company's employee benefit trust (the "employee trust"). The Company may grant options to the trustees of the employee trust to subscribe for shares at price per share which shall be determined by the Committee before the grant of such option but which shall not be less than the nominal value of a share and not more than the market value of a share calculated as at the date of grant of the relevant option. The Company may also issue shares to the trustee of the employee trust at a price per Share which shall be determined in the same manner as that for any options that are granted.

10.Administration and Amendments

The Remuneration Committee may amend the rules of the LTIP 2018 provided that:

• 10.1. no amendments may adversely affect a participant as regards awards granted before the date of amendment without the consent of the holders of 75% of the shares then subject to awards; and
• 10.2. provisions relating to eligible employees, the limits on the number of Ordinary Shares which may be utilised under the LTIP 2018, the maximum entitlement of any participant and the basis on which awards may be adjusted to the advantage of participants may not be altered without the prior approval of shareholders of the Company in a general meeting (except for minor amendments which benefit the administration of the LTIP 2018, or to take account of changes in legislation or to maintain favourable tax, regulatory or exchange control treatment).

11. General

• 11.1. Participants in the LTIP 2018 are not entitled to compensation for loss of awards due to termination of their office or employment and their rights and obligations are not affected by participation in the LTIP 2018.
• 11.2. The existence of awards does not affect the Company's ability to change its share capital structure or to merge, consolidate, issue bonds, debentures, or preferred stock or to dissolve or liquidate the Company, or to sell to transfer any part of its assets or business.
• 11.3. Ordinary Shares issued under the LTIP 2018 rank pari passu with existing Ordinary Shares and the Company shall apply for a listing on the London Stock Exchange for any A Ordinary Shares issued under the LTIP 2018.
