What Happened

• Marjorie Mary Connelly, a director of Altria Group, Inc. (MO), was awarded 2,571 deferred shares on May 14, 2026 under the 2025 Stock Compensation Plan for Non‑Employee Directors. The Form 4 reports the acquisition at $0.00 per share (an award/grant, not a market purchase).

• Transaction date: 2026-05-14; Form filed: 2026-05-18.
• Transaction type/code: Award/grant (A) — deferred stock under the 2025 Non‑Employee Directors plan.
• Shares acquired: 2,571 shares; reported acquisition price: $0.00 (no cash paid).
• Footnote: Deferred shares held in the plan include an increase of 1,113 shares from dividend reinvestment since the prior reportable transaction (May 15, 2025).
• Shares owned after transaction: total held in the plan not specified on this filing.
• Filing timing: reported four days after the transaction; Form 4s are typically due within two business days, so this filing was later than the usual deadline.

Context

• This was a routine deferred‑compensation award to a non‑employee director, not an open‑market purchase or sale. Such awards are common director compensation and do not necessarily signal a change in insider sentiment about the company’s short‑term stock prospects.
