FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Armstrong Flooring Announces Final Results
Of Modified Dutch Auction Self-Tender Offer
Company Purchases 4,504,504 Shares of Common Stock at $11.10 Per Share
Lancaster, PA. June 21, 2019 Armstrong Flooring, Inc. (NYSE: AFI) (Armstrong Flooring or the Company) announced today the final results of its modified Dutch auction self-tender offer to repurchase up to $50,000,000 in cash of its common stock, which expired at 12:00 a.m., New York City time, at the end of June 14, 2019.
Based on the final count by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the self-tender offer, 4,991,207 shares of Armstrong Floorings common stock, were properly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) at the final purchase price of $11.10 per share.
Because the tender offer was oversubscribed, the Company purchased only a prorated portion of the shares properly tendered by each tendering shareholder (other than odd lot holders whose shares were purchased on a priority basis) at the final purchase price of $11.10 per share. Based on the final tender count, and taking into consideration the effect of odd lot priority and conditional tenders on the proration factor, the final proration factor for the tender offer was 97.14% of the shares properly tendered at the final purchase price of $11.10 per share.
Accordingly, Armstrong Flooring has accepted for purchase 4,504,504 shares of its common stock at the final purchase price of $11.10 per share, for a total cost of approximately $50,000,000, excluding fees and expenses relating to the self-tender offer. The common stock accepted for purchase in the self-tender offer represent approximately 17.3% of Armstrong Floorings issued and outstanding common stock as of June 14, 2019. The depositary for the self-tender offer will promptly pay for the common stock accepted for purchase. Armstrong Flooring will fund the repurchase of common stock in the self-tender offer using a portion of its cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as dealer manager for the self-tender offer. Innisfree M&A Incorporated is serving as information agent for the self-tender offer and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC is serving as depositary for the self-tender offer. Shareholders who have questions or need information about the self-tender offer may contact Innisfree M&A Incorporated at 1-888-750-5834.
