Armstrong Annual Meeting Addresses Director Pay

Lancaster, PA, June 24, 2008--Armstrong World Industries shareholders approved a plan to pay its outside directors partially in company stock, a company spokeswoman said.

The measure was approved at Armstrong's annual meeting by more than 99 percent of the votes cast, as were the re-election of the company's nine-member board and the re-appointment of KPMG as its independent auditors.

The meeting, held at company headquarters, was reportedly attended by about 50 people, including board members, senior management, employees and two shareholders from the community.

The annual meeting was the first for Armstrong since it emerged from bankruptcy as a new corporation with a new stock in October 2006. The company took the unusual step of barring the media.
