<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">On February 26, 2018, H.B. Fuller Company (the &ldquo;<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">Company&rdquo;) approved a restructuring plan (the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;) consisting of consolidation plans, organizational changes and other actions related to the integration of the operations of Royal Adhesives with the operations of the Company. The Company acquired Royal Adhesives in October 2017.&nbsp; In implementing the Plan, the Company currently expects to incur costs of approximately $20 million ($14 million after-tax), which includes (i) cash expenditures of approximately $12 million ($8 million after-tax) for severance and related employee costs globally and (ii) other costs of approximately $8 million ($6 million after-tax) related to the optimization of production facilities, streamlining of processes and accelerated depreciation of long-lived assets.&nbsp; Approximately $14 million ($10 million after-tax) of the costs are expected to be cash costs. The Plan will be implemented beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and is currently expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2020.&nbsp; </font></p>
