The chapter 11 cases are being administered under the caption In re Armstrong Flooring, Inc., et al. (Case No. 22-10426) (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).
As previously disclosed, the Company has consummated three separate transactions in which it, directly or indirectly, sold substantially all of its assets globally. On September 30, 2022, in connection with the wind down of the Company’s remaining operations, Michel S. Vermette departed from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Cautionary Information Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities.
As previously disclosed, the Company has, directly or indirectly, sold substantially all of its assets globally, and the Company is now expected to be wound down. Holders of the Company’s equity securities will likely be entitled to no recovery on their investment following the Chapter 11 Cases, and recoveries to other stakeholders cannot be determined at this time. The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s securities is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual value to be realized, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities.
