Altria Group, Inc.

Altria Group, Inc. is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and, as a result, does not maintain a complete public shareholder register. Under U.S. securities law, investors who beneficially own more than 5% of a company’s outstanding common stock must disclose their holdings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Schedule 13D or 13G, so only major, reportable shareholders can be identified rather than the full shareholder base.

The Vanguard Group, acting through several affiliated investment adviser entities including Vanguard Capital Management LLC, reported beneficial ownership of 125,533,942 shares of Altria Group, Inc. common stock, equal to 7.50% of the class, in a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on 29 April 2026 and effective as of 31 March 2026. Vanguard reported sole dispositive power over all of these shares but sole voting power over only 16,697,900 of them, consistent with its role as a passive institutional asset manager rather than an active or controlling shareholder.

No shareholder has been identified in official SEC filings as holding a controlling stake in, or exercising control over, Altria Group, Inc., and no ultimate beneficial owner has been identified. Large-cap, widely traded companies of this kind are typically held across many institutional and individual investors, most of whom fall below the 5% disclosure threshold and are therefore not individually named in public filings.

Data availability for Altria Group, Inc. shareholder information is best described as major shareholders only: holdings above the 5% SEC disclosure threshold are publicly identifiable through Schedule 13D/13G filings, but the complete shareholder base, including holdings below that threshold, is not published.

Altria Group, Inc. files officer and director information with the Virginia State Corporation Commission and, as an SEC-registered issuer, also discloses executive officer and board information in its proxy statements and Form 8-K filings. Company records show several active senior officer titles, including Chief Executive Officer and other executive and product-leadership roles within the group; appointment dates for these roles are not disclosed in the underlying filing reviewed.

The most significant recent officer change concerns the Chief Executive Officer position. William F. Gifford Jr., who had served as CEO since 2020, retired from that role effective 14 May 2026, at the conclusion of Altria Group, Inc.’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. He was succeeded as CEO by Salvatore Mancuso, previously Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Effective the same date, Heather A. Newman was elected Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Gifford agreed to continue providing consulting services to the company through at least 31 December 2026 following his retirement. These changes were first announced on 11 December 2025 and confirmed as completed in a Form 8-K that Altria Group, Inc. filed with the SEC on 18 May 2026.

Nationality is not disclosed for Altria Group, Inc.’s officers in the sources reviewed and should not be inferred from names, job locations or correspondence addresses. Correspondence addresses recorded for certain officers, such as 6601 West Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia, are the company’s registered business address and should not be treated as a residential address for any individual.

Data availability for officer information is best described as partial: current senior officer titles are available, but appointment dates, resignation dates for other officers, nationality and country of residence are largely not disclosed in the sources reviewed.

Altria Group, Inc. sits at the top of a group of tobacco and nicotine product subsidiaries operating primarily in the United States; no immediate or ultimate parent company has been identified for it in official filings. Based on Exhibit 21 to its Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, its significant subsidiaries include Philip Morris USA Inc., U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company LLC and UST LLC, each incorporated in Virginia, and NJOY, LLC, incorporated in Delaware. The same Form 10-K discloses that John Middleton Co., a manufacturer of machine-made large cigars, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Philip Morris USA Inc., making it an indirect subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc., and identifies Helix Innovations LLC, a manufacturer of oral nicotine pouches, as part of the group’s smoke-free product business.

Data availability for Altria Group, Inc.’s corporate structure is best described as subsidiaries only: its most significant operating subsidiaries are identified through SEC Exhibit 21 filings and its Form 10-K business description, but full ownership percentages for each subsidiary are not disclosed, and no third-party parent or controlling shareholder has been identified for Altria Group, Inc. itself.
