Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Standard; Transfer of Listing.
(a). As previously reported, Mr. William O. Albertini, a director of Airgas, Inc. (the "Company"), died on June 28, 2008. Mr. Albertini had been a member, and the chair, of the audit committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, with Paula A. Sneed and John C. van Roden, Jr. serving as the other members of the committee. As a result of Mr. Albertini's death, on June 30, 2008 the Company received a notice from the NYSE stating that the Company was not in compliance with Section 303A.07(a) of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Listed Company Manual which requires that audit committees be comprised of at least three independent directors. On July 2,2008, the Company's Board of Directors approved the selection of W. Thacher Brown, an existing eligible director, as a new member of the audit committee to replace Mr. Albertini and appointed Mr. van Roden, an audit committee financial expert, as chair of the committee. The Company is, therefore, now in compliance with the requirement of
Section 303A.07(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Item 9.01. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits
