22nd Century Group Issues Mid‑Year Shareholder Update (8‑K)

What Happened
22nd Century Group, Inc. (XXII) filed a Form 8‑K on September 1, 2026 to disclose a mid‑year update to shareholders. The update was distributed as a press release attached to the filing as Exhibit 99.1 and submitted under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD disclosure).

Key Details

• Filing date: September 1, 2026 (Form 8‑K).
• Press release provided as Exhibit 99.1 (mid‑year update to shareholders).
• Disclosure made under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD); expressly stated not to be deemed “filed” under Section 18.

Why It Matters
This 8‑K is a company communication alerting investors to a mid‑year update; the full details and any operational or financial commentary will be in the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1). Because the filing is a Regulation FD disclosure, it was intended for broad, fair public dissemination—but the company limited certain legal implications by stating the release is not “filed” under Section 18. Investors should read the attached press release for substantive information and monitor future SEC filings (quarterly/annual reports or additional 8‑Ks) for formal financial results or material developments.
