Annual Report, Proxy Statement & Annual Meeting

You are entitled to participate in the meeting if you were a shareholder of record as of the close of business on March 25, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting, or if you hold a valid proxy for the meeting. If you are not a shareholder or do not have a 16-digit control number, you may access the meeting as a guest, but you will not be able to submit questions or vote during the meeting.

To attend the meeting as a shareholder or guest, please visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ALTRIA2024. The meeting will start at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time). We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time to familiarize yourself with the virtual meeting platform and ensure you can hear the streaming audio. Online access will be available starting at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time).

Should you encounter any technical difficulties during (i) the registration process or (ii) the meeting, please call the support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting login page.

Because this is a meeting of shareholders, only shareholders with a valid 16-digit control number will be permitted to ask questions during the meeting. In order to ask a question, you will be required to enter your 16-digit control number upon login to the virtual meeting platform. If you are interested in asking a question, you may do so by typing your question into the “Ask a Question” field on the virtual meeting platform screen (which is subject to a 1,000 character limit) and clicking submit. Questions may be submitted beginning at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the day of the meeting. The Question and Answer Session will be limited to 30 minutes and will be guided by our Rules of Conduct for the meeting.

In the event we reach the time limit and questions relevant to the meeting and otherwise consistent with the Rules of Conduct remain unanswered, we plan to respond to those questions (if appropriate) by contacting the shareholder directly using the contact information provided during the login process.

Only shareholders as of the close of business on March 25, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting, or their duly authorized proxies, are entitled to vote during the meeting.

You must have a valid 16-digit control number to vote during the meeting. To vote your shares during the meeting, under the Cast Your Vote section on the virtual meeting platform screen, select “Vote Here!” and follow the instructions provided.

If you voted prior to the meeting, there is no need to vote again unless you wish to change your vote.

Shareholders may vote until the polls close.
