Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(d)    On May 19, 2011, Altria Group, Inc. (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, shareholders, among other actions, conducted an advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. As reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 19, 2011, a majority of the votes cast on this proposal were cast in favor of holding such an advisory vote annually. After considering the outcome of this advisory vote, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon a recommendation of the Compensation Committee, determined at a meeting held on August 26, 2011, that future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers will occur annually.
