INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

The registration statement registers 560,000 additional shares of common stock of Alliance One International, Inc. (the “Corporation”), under the Amended and Restated Alliance One International 2007 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Shares for this Plan have previously been registered on Form S-8 (Registration Nos. 333-153021 and 333-161596), the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document (which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein) modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.

As disclosed in Note 8 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A filed on August 6, 2015 (collectively, the “June 2015 Form 10-Q”), after the close of business on June 26, 2015, the Corporation’s approved 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock became effective. As a result, every 10 shares of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding were combined into one share of the Corporation’s common stock, reducing the number of outstanding shares of the Corporation’s common stock at June 26, 2015 from approximately 88.6 million shares to approximately 8.9 million shares. This change did not affect any shareholder’s rights. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, the Corporation issued one full share of the post-reverse stock split common stock to any shareholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split. Each common shareholder holds the same percentage of the outstanding common stock immediately following the reverse split as that shareholder did immediately prior to the reverse split, except for minor adjustments due to the additional net share fraction issued as a result of the treatment of fractional shares. Shares available to be issued under the Plan, and the amount and exercise price, if any, of awards outstanding under the Plan, have been appropriately adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Plan to reflect this reverse stock split.

As disclosed in Note 7 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in the June 2015 Form 10-Q, beginning April 1, 2015, the Corporation has retroactively revised its reportable segments to North America and Other Regions, which revision of reportable segments did not impact consolidated results of operations.

Financial information for periods included in reports incorporated by reference into this registration statement, other than the June 2015 Form 10-Q, have not been recast to reflect the revised reporting segments or reverse stock split as management of the Corporation has concluded that this change in reportable segments and the reverse stock split are not material changes in the Corporation’s affairs.
