Item 8.01. Other Events
On July 19, 2023 Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has approved an additional $500.0 million authorization to repurchase shares under the Company's existing share repurchase program, increasing the total authorized amount under the program to $1.7 billion, and extending the program through December 31, 2026. Pursuant to the program, the Company may purchase shares of its common stock at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, subject to market and business conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. Repurchases under the program may be made through open market, block and privately-negotiated transactions, including Rule 10b5-1 plans. The expanded program, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular amounts of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.
The press release also announces that the Company's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.254 per share of outstanding common stock payable on August 17, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 3, 2023.
