Fuller Company (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) conducted a competitive process to determine the Company&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company&rsquo;s fiscal year ending November 28, 2020. The Company invited several independent registered public accounting firms to participate in this process.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">Following review of proposals from the independent registered public accounting firms that participated in the process, on April 23, 2019, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Ernst &amp; Young LLP (&ldquo;EY&rdquo;) as the Company&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company&rsquo;s fiscal year ending November 28, 2020, subject to completion of EY&rsquo;s standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter. KPMG LLP (&ldquo;KPMG&rdquo;), the Company&rsquo;s current independent registered public accounting firm, will continue as the Company&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending November 30, 2019.</p>

Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
The Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of H.B. Fuller Company (the "Company") conducted a competitive process to determine the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ending November 28, 2020. The Company invited several independent registered public accounting firms to participate in this process.
Following review of proposals from the independent registered public accounting firms that participated in the process, on April 23, 2019, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ending November 28, 2020, subject to completion of EY's standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter. KPMG LLP ("KPMG"), the Company's current independent registered public accounting firm, will continue as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending November 30, 2019.
KPMG's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 2, 2017 and December 1, 2018 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion. KPMG's report on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 2, 2017 contained a paragraph indicating their audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Wisdom Adhesives, Royal Adhesives and Adecol, which were acquired by the Company in fiscal 2017. KPMG's report on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 1, 2018 contained a paragraph indicating the Company elected to change its method of accounting for inventory in 2018.
During the fiscal years ended December 2, 2017 and December 1, 2018, and the subsequent interim periods through April 23, 2019, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions between the Company and KPMG on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to KPMG's satisfaction, would have caused KPMG to make reference thereto in their reports; and (ii) no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has requested that KPMG furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of KPMG's letter, dated April 24, 2019, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
During the fiscal years ended December 2, 2017 and December 1, 2018, and the subsequent interim periods through April 23, 2019, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with EY regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that EY concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
