FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Some of the information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the attached
prospectus contains forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such
as "strategy," "expects," "continues," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "will," "estimates," "intends," "projects," "goals,"
"targets" and other words of similar meaning. You can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts.
We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in
our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should
known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could
vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. You should bear this in mind as you consider forward-looking
statements and whether to invest in the notes. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we have identified important factors in this prospectus supplement and in the documents
incorporated by reference that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by us; any such statement is qualified by reference to these
cautionary statements. We elaborate on these and other risks in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated
by reference. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors. Consequently, you should not
consider the risks discussed in the prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference to be a complete
discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that we may
make from time to time, except in the normal course of our public disclosure obligations.

UST, is the leading producer and marketer of moist smokeless tobacco products, including the premium brands
Copenhagen and Skoal and the value brands Red Seal and Husky. Middleton is a manufacturer of machine-made large

made large cigar in the United States. Ste. Michelle Wine Estates Ltd., or Ste. Michelle, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
UST, is a leading producer of Washington State wines, primarily Chateau Ste. Michelle and Columbia Crest, and owns
wineries in or distributes wine from several other wine regions. PMCC maintains a portfolio of leveraged and direct

Recent Developments
Reference is made to Note 12 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended
March 31, 2010, Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and
our current report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2010, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, for a description
of certain contingencies, including litigation pending against Altria, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective
indemnitees. The following summarizes certain developments with respect to such litigation since the date of our Form
10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010:
In re: Tobacco Litigation (West Virginia)
On May 27, 2010, the trial court in the West Virginia consolidated proceeding ruled that the amount of punitive
damages will be determined in individual trials, rather than in the consolidated proceeding. On June 1, 2010, jury
selection began in the consolidated proceeding. On June 4, 2010, plaintiffs filed with the West Virginia Supreme Court a
petition for a writ of prohibition, challenging the trial court's ruling. If the West Virginia Supreme Court agrees to
consider the trial court's ruling on its merits, the consolidated proceeding will be stayed.
Engle Progeny Trial Results
On May 18, 2010, in the Lukacs case, the Florida Third District Court of Appeal denied the defendants' petitions for
rehearing and for rehearing en banc from its March 17, 2010 per curiam decision that affirmed the final judgment
entered in favor of the plaintiffs.
Scott Class Action
On May 12, 2010, the Louisiana Court of Appeal, Fourth District, denied defendants' petition for rehearing filed on
May 7, 2010. PM USA intends to seek further review by the Louisiana Supreme Court.
