Armstrong World Industries, Inc. announced the pricing of an underwritten secondary public offering of 12,057,382 common shares of the company held by The Armstrong World Industries, Inc. Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust (the “Trust”) and Armor TPG Holdings, L.P. (together with the Trust, the “Selling Shareholders”) at a price to the public of $51.75 per share. The offering was upsized from the previously announced offering of 10,057,382 shares. The shares are being sold on a pro rata basis by the Selling Shareholders in accordance with their respective ownership interests.

Deutsche Bank Securities is acting as the sole underwriter for the offering, which is expected to close on or about September 13, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
