Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On July 1, 2005, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton") acquired SVB Financial Services, Inc. ("Somerset"), a bank holding company headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey. The acquisition was accomplished by merging Somerset with and into Fulton (the "Merger").
