SEC no-action letter: Armstrong World Industries, Inc. - Trustee Conflict of Interest Exemption

Applies to: A named firm

Armstrong World Industries, Inc. applied under Section 310(b)(1)(ii) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 for a finding that Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association may serve as trustee under two separate indentures without being disqualified due to a conflict of interest. The Securities and Exchange Commission granted the application, determining that Wells Fargo's dual trusteeship is not likely to involve a material conflict of interest necessitating disqualification. This decision allows Wells Fargo to act as successor trustee for both the 1996 indenture and the 1998 indenture, despite the absence of cross-references between them, because the securities rank pari passu and are wholly unsecured. The order was issued on August 20, 2002, following a notice period during which no interested persons requested a hearing.
