Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 7 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 7 shall have the same meanings herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by amending and restating Schedule A, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference. The information set forth within Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows: Prior to joining Altria's Board of Directors on February 3, 2025, Richard S. Stoddart sold three Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by him on December 26, 2024. The information set forth under the caption "Terms of Restricted Shares-Governance Rights" within Item 6 of the Scehdule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows: So long as the holders of Restricted Shares (together with their affiliates, successors and successors' affiliates) own or control within the meaning of Article 5 of the Belgian Companies Code: - more than 13.5% of the issued and outstanding Voting Shares, three directors shall be appointed by the shareholders' meeting of the Issuer upon proposal by the holders of the Restricted Shares; - more than 9% but not more than 13.5% of the issued and outstanding Voting Shares, two directors shall be appointed by the shareholders' meeting of the Issuer upon proposal by the holders of the Restricted Shares; and - more than 4.5% but not more than 9% of the issued and outstanding Voting Shares, one director shall be appointed by the shareholders' meeting of the Issuer upon proposal by the holders of the Restricted Shares. In accordance with the Articles of Association, the percentage of Voting Shares necessary for the appointment of directors is determined 120 days before the Issuer's annual shareholders' meeting. For purposes of the calculations set forth above, the denominator is determined in accordance with the Articles of Association, which excludes certain shares which have been disposed of by the Issuer from the treasury shares the Issuer held at the completion of the combination with SABMiller. As of December 31, 2024, the holders of Restricted Shares, including their respective ownership of Ordinary Shares, owned approximately 13.64% of the issued and outstanding Voting Shares included in the calculations set forth above. The foregoing percentage, using the denominator determined per the above, is based on a total of 1,921,164,955 Voting Shares. Based on these calculation provisions and the provisions on the appointment of directors in the Articles of Association, and as a result of the Voting Agreement (as described below), Altria's percentage ownership of Voting Shares of the Issuer provides it with the effective ability to select two directors for appointment to the Issuer's Board of Directors. 1 - Directors and Executive Officers Altria Group, Inc. /s/ Steven D'Ambrosia Steven D'Ambrosia, Vice President and Controller 02/07/2025
