Armstrong announces board changes

Lancaster, Pa.-based floor, ceiling and cabinet manufacturer Armstrong World Industries has announced three of its directors, Judith R. Haberkorn, James C. Melville and Edward E. Steiner, will not stand for re-election.

Melville and Steiner served as the Armstrong World Industries Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust designated directors under the TPG-Trust shareholder agreement since September 2009. Haberkorn has served as a director since 1998.

"Jim and Ed provided significant value during their service, and the board is very grateful for their support. Judy has been a tremendous asset to Armstrong for many years, providing seasoned leadership counsel and a deep understanding of corporate governance," said Jim O'Connor, chairman of the board. "We thank her for the long-term dedication in her multiple roles on the board, and for the special contribution and expertise she has provided to Armstrong and its shareholders."

The company expects to announce director nominees in April. Haberkorn, Melville and Steiner will continue to serve until successors are elected June 2.
