Altria Group will host a live audio webcast of its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“2026 Annual Meeting” or “meeting”) on Thursday, May 14, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, according to the company.

The 2026 Annual Meeting will be held virtually via live webcast. During the meeting, shareholders as of the 2026 Annual Meeting record date (March 25, 2026) will be able to vote their shares electronically and submit questions as time permits. Although shareholders may vote during the meeting, they are encouraged to do so before the meeting using one of the methods described in the 2026 Proxy Statement.

If you are not a shareholder, you may still access and listen to the meeting as a guest via the Guest Login, but you will not be able to vote or submit questions.

Directions on how to participate in the meeting are posted at www.altria.com/proxy. An archived copy of the webcast will be available on www.altria.com.

Earlier this week, Altria reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.32, up 7.3% year over year, as higher pricing in its smokeable segment offset ongoing volume declines.
