ALTRIA ANNOUNCES CONSIDERATION FOR DEBT TENDER OFFER

RICHMOND, Va. – November 12, 2013 - Altria Group, Inc. (Altria) (NYSE: MO) today announces the reference yields, total consideration and tender offer consideration for its previously announced cash tender offer for up to $2,100,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Tender Cap”) of its senior unsecured notes identified in the table below (the “Notes”). The terms and conditions of the tender offer are described in the Offer to Purchase, dated October 28, 2013, and the related Letter of Transmittal, as amended by Altria’s press release issued earlier today increasing the Tender Cap and Aggregate Maximum Purchase Sublimit.

For Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 8, 2013 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) and accepted for purchase, the applicable total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Notes (for each series, the “Total Consideration”) is the price determined as described in the Offer to Purchase intended to result in a yield to maturity (calculated in accordance with standard market practice) equal to the sum of (i) the yield to maturity for the applicable U.S. Treasury (“UST”) Reference Security specified in the table below, calculated based on the bid-side price of such UST Reference Security as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, today, November 12, 2013 (being the first business day following the Early Tender Deadline), plus (ii) the applicable Fixed Spread specified in the table below. The Total Consideration includes the Early Tender Payment specified in the table below. Holders tendering their Notes after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, November 25, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”), will be eligible to receive only the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, namely the applicable Total Consideration less the Early Tender Payment specified in the table below.

In addition, holders whose Notes are purchased in the tender offer will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on their purchased Notes from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the payment date for such purchased Notes. The payment for Notes accepted for purchase is expected to occur on the first business day after the Expiration Date. Assuming that the tender offer expires on November 25, 2013, and the conditions to the tender offer are satisfied or waived, Altria expects the payment for the purchased Notes to be made on November 26, 2013.

Earlier today, Altria announced that the total aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline was $3,808,739,000, which amount exceeds the Tender Cap. Since Altria will accept for payment only such portion of the tendered Notes that does not result in it purchasing Notes with an aggregate principal amount above the Aggregate Maximum Purchase Sublimit and the Tender Cap, Altria will purchase a portion of the validly tendered Notes with Acceptance Priority Level 1 up to the Aggregate Maximum Purchase Sublimit, and will purchase Notes with Acceptance Priority Level 2 in an aggregate principal amount up to the Tender Cap remaining available for application to the Acceptance Priority Level 2 Notes following the purchase of the Acceptance Priority Level 1 Notes, in accordance with the terms of the tender offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase. Assuming that the conditions to the tender offer are satisfied or waived, tendered Notes will be accepted for purchase on a prorated basis as described in the Offer to Purchase, such that the aggregate principal amount of the Notes accepted in the tender offer equals the Tender Cap. All Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be returned to holders following the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.

The tender offer for the Notes will expire on the Expiration Date, unless extended or earlier terminated by Altria.

2013 Full-Year Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Guidance

Based on the Total Consideration described above and the amount of Notes validly tendered by the Early Tender Deadline, Altria is revising its estimate of the previously announced one-time pre-tax charge against 2013 reported earnings, reflecting the estimated loss on early extinguishment of debt related to this debt tender offer (the “Estimated Charge”). Altria expects the Estimated Charge to be approximately $1.1 billion, or $0.34 per share, revised from $0.35 per share. The final charge may vary to the extent that the amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Date differs from the amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.

Altria revises its guidance for 2013 full-year reported diluted EPS from a range of $2.22 to $2.27 to a range of $2.23 to $2.28, reflecting the Estimated Charge and the other special items detailed in Table 1 below.

Altria reaffirms its guidance for 2013 full-year adjusted diluted EPS, which excludes the special items shown in Table 1 below, to be in the range of $2.36 to $2.41, representing a growth rate of 7% to 9% from an adjusted diluted EPS base of $2.21 per share in 2012.

The factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release represent continuing risks to this forecast. Reconciliations of full-year adjusted to reported diluted EPS are shown in Table 1 below.

Important factors that may cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in the projections and forward-looking statements included in this press release are described in Altria’s publicly filed reports, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013.

These factors include the following: Altria’s tobacco businesses (PM USA, USSTC, Middleton and Nu Mark) being subject to significant competition; changes in adult tobacco consumer preferences and demand for their products; fluctuations in raw material availability, quality and price; reliance on key facilities and suppliers; reliance on critical information systems, many of which are managed by third-party service providers; fluctuations in levels of customer inventories; the effects of global, national and local economic and market conditions; changes to income tax laws; federal, state and local legislative activity, including actual and potential federal and state excise tax increases; increasing marketing and regulatory restrictions; the effects of price increases related to excise tax increases and concluded tobacco litigation settlements on trade inventories, consumption rates and consumer preferences within price segments; health concerns relating to the use of tobacco products and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke; privately imposed smoking restrictions; and, from time to time, governmental investigations.

Furthermore, the results of Altria’s tobacco businesses are dependent upon their continued ability to promote brand equity successfully; to anticipate and respond to evolving adult consumer preferences; to develop, manufacture, market and distribute products that appeal to adult tobacco consumers (including, where appropriate, through arrangements with third parties); to improve productivity; and to protect or enhance margins through cost savings and price increases.

Altria and its tobacco businesses are also subject to federal, state and local government regulation, including broad-based regulation of PM USA and USSTC by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Altria and its subsidiaries continue to be subject to litigation, including risks associated with adverse jury and judicial determinations, courts reaching conclusions at variance with the companies’ understanding of applicable law, bonding requirements in the limited number of jurisdictions that do not limit the dollar amount of appeal bonds and certain challenges to bond cap statutes.

Altria cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not complete and does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that it may make except as required by applicable law. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Altria or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referenced above.
