Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction

      On April 1, 2016, the Reporting Persons received the securities of the
Issuer pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement between the
Issuer and Armstrong World Industries, Inc.

      On February 26, 2016, the Issuer entered into an Appointment and
Stockholder's Agreement (the "Appointment Agreement") with ValueAct Capital
Master Fund L.P., VA Partners I, LLC, ValueAct Capital Management, L.P.,
ValueAct Capital Management, LLC, ValueAct Holdings, L.P., ValueAct Holdings
GP, LLC and Jacob H. Welch (collectively, the "ValueAct Group").

      Pursuant to the Appointment Agreement, the Issuer appointed Jacob H.
Welch, a Partner at ValueAct Capital, as a Class I Director with a term
expiring at the Issuer's 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. However, if at
any time during the term of the Appointment Agreement the ValueAct Group
ceases to own at least 7.5% of the outstanding common stock of the Issuer,
Mr.?Welch will be required to resign from the board of directors. Under the
Appointment Agreement, the ValueAct Group is entitled to nominate a mutually
acceptable replacement in the event that Mr.?Welch no longer serves as a
director of the Issuer during the term of the Appointment Agreement, so long
as the ValueAct Group continues to own at least 7.5% of the Issuer's
outstanding common stock.

      Mr.?Welch has agreed, at all times while serving as a member of the
board of directors, among other things, that he will: (i)?meet all director
independence and other standards of the Issuer, the New York Stock Exchange
and the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Rule 10A-3; (ii)?be
qualified to serve as a director under the DGCL; and (iii)?be bound by all
policies, codes and guidelines applicable to all directors of the Issuer,
including the Issuer's Corporate Governance Principles, and to preserve the
confidentiality of the Issuer's business and information, including
discussions or matters considered in meetings of the board of directors or
board committees.

     During the term of the Appointment Agreement, the ValueAct Group has
agreed, among other things, that it will not: (i)?in any way participate in
any "solicitation" of proxies, or advise, encourage or influence any person
with respect to the voting of any securities of the Issuer with respect to
the election of individuals to the board of directors or approval of any
stockholder proposals; (ii)?in any way participate in any group with any
persons who are not ValueAct affiliates with respect to the Issuer?s
securities; (iii)?acquire any beneficial or other ownership interest in more
than 19% in the aggregate of the shares of the Issuer's common stock
outstanding at such time; (iv)?sell the securities of the Issuer to any
person or entity that would own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the
Issuer's common stock following such transaction; (v)?effect or seek to
effect any tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation, acquisition,
scheme, arrangement, business combination, recapitalization, reorganization,
sale or acquisition of material assets, liquidation, dissolution or other
extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer; (vi)?engage in any short sale
or similar derivative transaction related to the market price or value of the
Issuer's securities; (vii)?call or seek to call any meeting of stockholders,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
nominate any candidate to the board of directors, seek the removal of any
member of the board of directors, seek to act by written consent, or make a
request for any stockholder list or other the Issuer books and records;
(viii)?support or make any proposal that constitutes controlling, changing or
influencing the board of directors or management of the Issuer, any material
change in the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, seeking to
have the Issuer waive or amend its governance documents, or causing any class
of securities of the Issuer to become eligible for deregistration;
(ix)?disparage the Issuer or affiliates thereof or any of its current or
former officers or directors; (x)?make any public disclosure, announcement or
statement regarding a plan or proposal with respect to the Issuer or take any
action that could require the Issuer to make any public disclosure; xi)?enter
into any discussions negotiations, agreements, or understandings with any
third party with respect to any of the foregoing; or (xii)?request, directly
or indirectly, any amendment or waiver of the foregoing.

     The Appointment Agreement terminates on the earliest of: (i)?Armstrong
World Industries, Inc.'s determination not to consummate the separation and
distribution; (ii)?the Issuer's material breach of the Appointment Agreement
that has not been cured within thirty (30)?days after receipt of notice of
such breach; (iii)?the date immediately following the last day on which a
stockholder of the Issuer may timely give notice of its intent to bring a
proposal for consideration at the Issuer's 2017 annual meeting of
stockholders; (iv)?the date that is ninety (90)?days after the date any
ValueAct designee ceases to be a member of the board of directors; and (v)?a
mutually agreed upon date.

     In connection with the execution of the Appointment Agreement, the
Issuer entered into a confidentiality agreement with the members of the
ValueAct Group.
