What is the main purpose of this 10-K/A filing?

The primary purpose of this amendment is to incorporate the financial statements of SABMiller, which are provided in Exhibits 99.4 and 99.5. This suggests a material interest or investment by Altria Group in SABMiller that requires consolidated financial reporting.

Does this filing contain new financial performance information for Altria's core businesses?

This amendment primarily focuses on incorporating SABMiller's financials. While it's an amendment to the 2012 10-K, detailed operational and financial performance for Altria's core segments like cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and wine would have been in the original 10-K filing. Investors should refer to the original 10-K for a comprehensive overview of Altria's own business performance.

What is SABMiller and why are its financials included?

SABMiller is a globalized company with interests in the alcoholic beverages industry. Its financial statements are included because Altria Group has a significant investment in or relationship with SABMiller, necessitating their inclusion in Altria's consolidated filings for a complete financial picture.

Are there any significant risks or legal matters discussed in this specific amendment?

This amendment is primarily for financial statement incorporation. Significant risks, legal matters, and other disclosures related to Altria's operations would have been detailed in the original 10-K filing. This amendment itself does not introduce new risk factors but rather supplements the financial reporting.
