Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on October 9, 2020, John T. Casteen III, a director of Altria Group, Inc. (“Altria”) since 2010, notified Altria of his decision to retire from service on its Board of Directors (the “Board”) following the completion of his current term. Following Thomas F. Farrell II’s recently announced retirement from the Board following the completion of his current term, the Board asked Mr. Casteen to reconsider his decision to retire and to stand for election as a director at Altria’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is presently anticipated to be held on May 20, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Meeting”). On March 25, 2021, Mr. Casteen agreed to rescind his prior notification to retire and to be a nominee for election as a director at the 2021 Annual Meeting.
