Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 23, 2017, Jennifer F. Scanlon, President and Chief Executive Officer of USG Corporation (the “Company”), adopted a stock trading plan related to the exercise of stock options that are scheduled to expire in February 2018 and the sale of the underlying Company common stock. Subject to the trading plan provisions, including certain minimum price levels, transactions may take place through February 2018.
     
Ms. Scanlon entered into the plan to avoid any option expirations and for investment diversification.

The trading plan is intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and was adopted in accordance with the Company’s policies regarding securities transactions. Rule 10b5-1 permits individuals who are not in possession of material, non-public information at the time the plan is adopted to establish pre-arranged plans to buy or sell company stock.

Transactions under this plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to the extent required by law.
