H.B. Fuller Finalizes Separation Agreement with CEO Al Stroucken

ST. PAUL, Minn. - H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL) announced today that it signed a separation agreement on Nov. 20, 2006, with Al Stroucken, chairman, president and chief executive officer, in connection with his previously announced resignation from the company. The separation agreement essentially modifies the terms of Stroucken’s existing employment agreement to permit him to depart from the company prior to March 31, 2007, the stated expiration date of his employment agreement.

This separation agreement will result in estimated after-tax charges to earnings of $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of the company’s fiscal 2006 and $1.5 million in the company’s fiscal 2007. These charges will result from amounts to be paid to Stroucken under the separation agreement, the accelerated vesting of certain equity compensation awards, and charges associated with the company’s supplemental executive retirement plan. Under the separation agreement, Stroucken received $4 million less in payments and other benefits than he would have received had he instead chosen to leave the company at the expiration of his employment agreement on March 31, 2007.

Details regarding the separation agreement will be available in a Form 8-K filing later today.
