We have designed this website to share information about the Altria family of companies, our growth and development, and issues of interest to our stakeholders. Therefore, although we are very proud of our tobacco companies, we have not included any cigarette brand advertising in this online version of the 2006 Annual Report, because it is not our intention to market, advertise or promote their cigarette brands on this site. On January 31, 2007, the Board of Directors of Altria Group, Inc. voted to authorize the spin-off of the approximately 89% of Kraft’s outstanding shares owned by Altria to Altria shareholders. The spin-off is a major step in the company’s commitment to deliver superior shareholder value.
