Armstrong's defence barrister, Eoin MacGiollari, told the court his client always maintained Westpac would be paid back.
The court was told Armstrong was not the instigator and "wasn't himself" when the offences occurred.
In sentencing, Judge Brad Farr told Armstrong he played "a vital and intrinsic role" in the offences but acknowledged he was subservient to the other directors.
The company's two other former directors, Andrew Eric Young and Bradley Wendell Young, will face trials at a later date.
Armstrong will be eligible for parole after serving two years and four months of his sentence.
