(Altria) (NYSE: MO) today announces it has received a request for additional information (Second Request) from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) relating to its investment in JUUL Labs, Inc. (JUUL) that closed in December 2018.  </font></div><div style="line-height:232%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Altria currently holds an approximate 35% non-voting, economic interest in JUUL.  Altria is now seeking to convert its JUUL interest to voting securities pursuant to the terms of its investment.  Following conversion, Altria expects to account for its investment in JUUL under the equity method of accounting and will have the right to designate one-third of the members of JUUL&#8217;s board of directors.  JUUL will remain fully independent.  </font></div><div style="line-height:232%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (HSR Act), Altria and JUUL filed notification of the proposed conversion with the federal antitrust authorities and must observe a waiting period before completing the conversion.  As part of the HSR Act review process, the FTC issued the Second Request on April 8, 2019 to extend the waiting period while the FTC conducts its review.  The waiting period is extended until 30 days after the parties have substantially complied with the Second Request, though it is common for that period to be extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC.</font></div><div style="line-height:232%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Issuance of a Second Request is a normal part of the FTC&#8217;s investigation process.  Altria is cooperating with the FTC&#8217;s investigation and will work to provide answers to the FTC&#8217;s outstanding questions promptly.</font></div><div style="line-height:232%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Altria continues to believe that its investment and the services Altria has agreed to provide JUUL will promote competition and have long-term benefits for adult smokers.  Altria continues to anticipate that the conversion of its JUUL shares will occur as planned.</font></div><div style="line-height:232%;padding-bottom:8px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">6601 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23230</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="se0bff4e9f53f44d1b8387e894f6d1e8f"></a></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:232%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;width:99.609375%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="1"></td></tr><tr><td style="width:100%;"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:middle;background-color:#bfe4ff;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;color:#00497f;font-weight:bold;">Altria's Profile</font></div></td></tr></table></div></div><div style="line-height:232%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Altria&#8217;s wholly-owned subsidiaries include Philip Morris USA Inc.
