Armstrong Disclosure Policy

At times we also answer questions of a nonmaterial nature during telephone calls and in-person meetings with stockholders and the financial community. When we do answer such queries, we do not feel obligated to forward the information to others who have not specifically asked for it. In the event any material information is disclosed inadvertently during meetings or phone calls, it is the company’s policy to issue a news release or file an 8-K as soon as practicable (within 24 hours), or, before the NYSE opens the next business day.


Scope

This disclosure policy applies to all employees, officers, consultants and directors of the Company, and addresses both oral and written communications with financial analysts, existing and potential investors and the media. Such communications may include, but are not limited to, management presentations, telephone conversations and interviews given by executives.

Investors, analysts and the media often want to speak with company’s management, and we make executives available for such conversations as appropriate, but these meetings will not be a forum for sharing non-public information. To reduce the need for such contacts, however, we typically will schedule at least one occasion each year at which interested groups can meet executives and information presented will simultaneously be made publicly available.


Authorized Spokespersons

The designated company contacts for the financial community are the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Investor Relations Officer (IRO). No other executives, directors, consultants or employees of Armstrong are authorized to answer inquiries or to discuss the financial or operating activities of the company with the financial community without the prior approval of the CEO, the CFO or the IRO. 


Types of Information Made Available

Armstrong announces financial results on a quarterly basis. These results are presented on a consolidated basis, with revenue and operating income of major operating segments also disclosed. Generally, financial information for individual plants, product types or geographic regions is not disclosed publicly.

It is Armstrong’s policy to not provide guidance on quarterly or annual earnings expectations. The Company will provide investors with perspectives on its value drivers, its strategic initiatives and those factors critical to understanding its businesses and operating environments.

Armstrong routinely distributes news releases, Form 10-Ks, Form 10-Qs and other items to the financial community. These documents, as well as information about the company’s corporate governance, are also available at www.armstrong.com, the company’s website. Company presentations given by management at investor meetings and industry conferences will simultaneously be made publicly available.

The Company does not distribute analysts’ research reports.

The Company does not comment on rumors in the marketplace, or speculation on acquisitions, divestitures or unusual activity in the stock, except as may be required upon the advice of counsel or rules of exchanges where its securities are traded.


Quiet Periods

The Company refrains from discussing financial results and certain other information during specific times of the year. These “quiet periods” begin the 10th of the month preceding the close of a quarter and continues until the results are announced publicly.
