Lancaster, PA, May 20, 2019-Armstrong Flooring has announced the commencement of a modified “Dutch auction” self-tender offer to repurchase up to $50,000,000 in cash of shares of its common stock, at a price per share within the range of $11.70 to $10.20, less applicable withholding taxes and without interest.

The NYSE closing price of Armstrong Flooring’s common stock on May 16 was $10.52 per share.

The tender offer will expire at the end of June 14 at 12:00 a.m. EST, unless the tender offer is extended or withdrawn by the company.
