Subsequent Event:

On April 1, 2014, Nu Mark acquired the e-vapor business of Green Smoke, Inc. and its affiliates (“Green Smoke”) for a total purchase price of up to approximately $130 million, subject to post closing adjustments. The acquisition complements Nu Mark’s capabilities and enhances its competitive position by adding e-vapor experience, broadening Nu Mark’s product offerings and strengthening its supply chain capabilities.

Pro forma results for this acquisition have not been presented because the acquisition of Green Smoke is not material to Altria Group, Inc.’s consolidated results of operations.

The allocation of the purchase price, which will consist substantially of intangible assets, is expected to be completed during 2014.
