Acquisition of Pubs

3 February 2012

Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. Acquires 15 freehold tenanted pubs from
Enterprise Inns P.L.C

Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. (`Fuller's' or `The Company') has agreed to
acquire 15 freehold, tied, tenanted pubs from Enterprise Inns P.L.C.
(`Enterprise'). Total consideration, payable in cash on completion, is £22.9
million and Fuller's will fund the transaction from existing bank facilities.

Under Enterprise's ownership, these pubs generated operating profits of £1.7
million in the year to 30 September and had a balance sheet value of £18.4
million as of that date. The transaction will be earnings enhancing for
Fuller's immediately upon completion, which is expected to take place by the
end of March.

The pubs are all freehold and they will allow us to bring the Fuller's brand
into areas of the west and south east of England where we have previously been
under-represented, while amplifying our presence in core trading areas such as
Hampshire.

The trading style of these pubs is complementary to our own, and they will
benefit from our brand, the introduction of our excellent range of cask ales
and wines and the experience of our Tenanted business development team.

Simon Emeny, Fuller's Group Managing Director commented:

"We are delighted to have added 15 more excellent pubs to the Fuller's estate.
The transaction demonstrates the continuation of our strategy to selectively
purchase only the highest quality pubs, where the Fuller's name and operating
style can add real value. This deal will take the total number of pubs acquired
by Fuller's in the last 12 months to 29, giving the business tremendous
momentum as we head towards the summer of 2012."

Fuller's Chairman Michael Turner commented:

"These pubs are carefully selected, quality assets and their acquisition is
wholly consistent with our long term strategy. We look forward to welcoming
these pubs, their licensees and staff to the Fuller's estate."
