Purchase of Shares During Close Period

Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. ("the Company")

Purchase of shares during close period

The Company announces that it will commence on 1 October 2011 an irrevocable,
non-discretionary programme with its broker Numis Securities to purchase shares
to be held in treasury up to a maximum value, in aggregate of £3m.  The
buy-back program shall operate for the duration of the Company's close period
which commences on 1 October 2011 and ends once the Company has released its
half-year results on Friday 25 November 2011.   

Any acquisitions will be effected within certain pre-set parameters, and in
accordance with both the Company's general authority to repurchase shares and
Chapter 12 of the Listing Rules which require that the maximum price paid be
limited to be no more than 105 per cent of the average middle market closing
price of the Company's ordinary shares for the five dealing days preceding the
date of purchase. The Group does not intend to limit purchases by reference to
the average daily trading volumes in the Group's shares with any purchases
being funded out of the Group's cash balances and available debt facilities.

 

The Company confirms that it currently has no unpublished price sensitive
information.
