RAI, Lorillard, Inc., referred to as Lorillard, and a wholly owned subsidiary of RAI have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 15, 2014, referred to as the merger
agreement, providing for the merger of RAI's merger subsidiary with and into Lorillard, referred to as the Lorillard merger, with Lorillard surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of RAI, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement. See "The Lorillard Transactions." We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, together with the other sources of funds
described in this prospectus supplement, to finance the cash portion of the consideration payable by RAI to the Lorillard shareholders in the Lorillard merger, among other uses. See "Use of
Proceeds."

The Lorillard merger and the other proposed transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, referred to as the Lorillard transactions, have not been completed as of the date of this
prospectus supplement, and this offering is not conditioned upon completion of any of the Lorillard transactions. RAI currently expects the Lorillard transactions to be completed on or about June
12, 2015. The Lorillard transactions are, however, subject to customary closing conditions, and RAI cannot guarantee that the Lorillard transactions will be completed on or about such date, or at
all. If the Lorillard merger is not completed on or prior to January 15, 2016, or the merger agreement is terminated on or at any time prior to such date, we will be required to redeem all of the
notes of each series at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date, as described under the
heading "Description of the Notes--Special Mandatory Redemption."

We may redeem any series of notes in whole or in part at any time after issuance as described under the heading "Description of the Notes--Optional Redemption." If we experience a
change of control repurchase event, we must offer to repurchase the notes as described under the heading "Description of the Notes--Change of Control Repurchase Event."

The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other senior indebtedness from time to time outstanding. Upon issuance, the
notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries, including our material domestic subsidiaries, which also guarantee our
bridge credit facility entered into in connection with the Lorillard transactions, existing notes and revolving credit facility.



Investing in the notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-25 of this prospectus supplement.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the
accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

INDUSTRY DATA

When we make statements in this prospectus supplement regarding the industry position of our operating subsidiaries and Lorillard's operating
subsidiaries or regarding their respective market share (or the market share of their brands), we are making statements of our belief. This belief is based
on: domestic retail share of market data reported by SymphonyIRI Group, Inc. and Capstone Research Inc., collectively referred to as IRI/Capstone, and
processed and managed by another third party vendor, Management Science Associates, Inc., referred to as MSAi; domestic shipment volume data from
MSAi; estimates and assumptions that we have made based on that data; and our knowledge of the markets for the products of our operating subsidiaries.
IRI/Capstone and MSAi are the primary sources of market share and volume data, respectively, relating to the tobacco industry. Although we believe
IRI/Capstone and MSAi are reliable sources (subject to the limitations stated in the following paragraph), we have not independently verified their data.
Accordingly, we cannot assure you that any of our assumptions based on this data are accurate or that our assumptions correctly reflect the position of our
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/83612/000119312515220258/d900478d424b5.htm[6/11/2015 12:57:57 PM]


424B5
operating subsidiaries in their industries.

You should not rely on the market share data reported by IRI/Capstone as being precise measurements of actual market share because IRI/Capstone
uses a sample methodology that does not track all volume and trade channels. Accordingly, the retail share of the U.S. tobacco industry as reported by
IRI/Capstone for particular brands may overstate or understate actual market share. Moreover, you should be aware that in a product market experiencing
overall declining consumption, like the U.S. cigarette market, a particular product can experience increasing market share relative to competing products,
yet still be subject to declining consumption volumes. All retail share results of RAI's operating subsidiaries appearing or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement are based on a revised IRI/Capstone model, which measures retail share in stores representing trade channels where the majority of
tobacco industry products are sold and resource investments are made. This model was effective in the first quarter of 2014, and further revised in the
second quarter of 2014, at the request of RJR Tobacco, to better reflect retail sales through these trade channels. Retail share results reported by the
revised IRI/Capstone model cannot be meaningfully compared to previously reported share results provided by the previous model.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, together with the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, contain or
incorporate by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to
future events or the future financial performance of RAI and its subsidiaries. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating
to future actions, prospective products, future performance or results of current or anticipated products, sales and marketing efforts, costs and expenses,
interest rates, outcome of litigation and other contingencies, potential increased regulation, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, business
strategies, cost savings, objectives of management and other matters. You can find many of these statements by looking for words like "believes,"
"expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "may," "should," "could," "plan," "intend" or similar expressions in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying
prospectus or in documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-
looking statements. You should understand that various factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, in the
accompanying prospectus and in the

S-4
Table of Contents
documents referred to and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, could affect the future results of RAI
and its subsidiaries and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include:

· the information appearing under the caption "Risk Factors" included in this prospectus supplement, in RAI's most recent annual report on

Form 10-K and in any updates to the risk factors in any quarterly or other report RAI files subsequently to such annual report;

· the substantial and increasing taxation and regulation of tobacco products, including the regulation of tobacco products by the FDA;

· the possibility that the FDA will issue regulations restricting or prohibiting menthol in cigarettes, which will have a greater impact on the

businesses of RAI and its subsidiaries if RAI completes the Lorillard transactions;

· the possibility that the FDA will require the reduction of nicotine levels or the reduction or elimination of other constituents in cigarettes;

· the possibility that the FDA will issue regulations extending the FDA's authority over tobacco products to e-cigarettes, subjecting e-cigarettes to

restrictions on, among other things, the manufacturing, marketing and sale of such products;

· decreased sales resulting from the future issuance of "corrective communications," required by the order in the U.S. Department of Justice case;

· various legal actions, proceedings and claims relating to the sale, distribution, manufacture, development, advertising, marketing and claimed

Reynolds American Inc.

RAI is a North Carolina corporation and a holding company whose reportable operating segments include the primary operations of RJR
Tobacco, the second largest tobacco company in the United States; American Snuff, the second largest smokeless tobacco products manufacturer in
the United States; and Santa Fe, the manufacturer of the leading super-premium cigarette brand. R. J. Reynolds Vapor Company, a manufacturer and
marketer of digital vapor cigarettes in the United States, Niconovum AB and Niconovum USA, Inc., marketers of nicotine replacement therapy
products in Sweden and the United States, respectively, under the ZONNIC brand name, SFR Tobacco International GmbH and various foreign
affiliated subsidiaries, which distribute Santa Fe's NATURAL AMERICAN SPIRIT brand outside of the United States, among other RAI
subsidiaries, are included in the All Other segment.

BAT, directly or indirectly through one or more of its subsidiaries or affiliates, owns approximately 42% of RAI's outstanding common stock
and, as a result of the BAT share purchase, which is described herein and is one of the Lorillard transactions, will continue to own approximately 42%
of RAI's outstanding common stock immediately after the completion of the Lorillard transactions. RAI's principal executive offices are located at
401 North Main Street, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27101, and its telephone number is (336) 741-2000.

RJR Tobacco's brands include two of the best-selling cigarettes in the United States: CAMEL and PALL MALL. These brands, and its other
brands, including WINSTON, KOOL, DORAL, SALEM, MISTY and CAPRI, are manufactured in a variety of styles and marketed in the United
States. RJR Tobacco's portfolio also includes a smoke-free tobacco product, CAMEL Snus, which is heat-treated tobacco in individual pouches that

If the divestiture, which is described herein and is one of the Lorillard transactions, of the RAI transferred assets and the Lorillard transferred
assets to Imperial Sub is completed, WINSTON, KOOL and SALEM (and, if acquired by Imperial Sub under the terms of the asset purchase
agreement, DORAL), will be transferred to Imperial Sub. In addition, in connection with the Lorillard merger, NEWPORT will be added to the
brand portfolio of RAI's operating companies. See "The Lorillard Transactions."

selling menthol and second largest selling cigarette brand overall in the United States based on domestic shipment volume data from MSAi for 2014.
The NEWPORT brand, which includes both menthol and non-menthol product offerings, accounted for approximately 86.5% of Lorillard's
consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. In

OLD GOLD brand names. These five brands include 45 different product offerings which vary in price, taste, flavor, length and packaging. In 2014,
Lorillard shipped 39.0 billion cigarettes, all of which were sold in the United States and certain U.S. possessions and territories.

SKYCIG brands. NEWPORT, KENT, TRUE, MAVERICK, OLD GOLD, blu eCIGS and SKYCIG are the registered trademarks of Lorillard and its

The Lorillard Transactions

The Lorillard Merger

On July 15, 2014, RAI, merger sub and Lorillard entered into the merger agreement, pursuant to which RAI agreed to acquire Lorillard in the
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/83612/000119312515220258/d900478d424b5.htm[6/11/2015 12:57:57 PM]


424B5
Lorillard merger, for cash and stock consideration of approximately $25.9 billion (based on the closing price of RAI common stock on June 9, 2015,
and 360.3 million outstanding shares of Lorillard common stock at March 31, 2015), including required cash payments for outstanding Lorillard
stock options and stock appreciation rights. Upon completion of the Lorillard merger, each share of Lorillard common stock (other than treasury
shares held by Lorillard and any shares of Lorillard common stock owned by any Lorillard subsidiary, RAI or merger sub) automatically will be
converted into the right to receive (1) 0.2909 of a fully paid and nonassessable share of RAI common stock plus (2) $50.50 in cash.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, together with the other sources of funds described under the heading "Use of Proceeds," to
finance the cash portion of the merger consideration, the unpaid fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Lorillard transactions, the cash out
of certain Lorillard equity awards, the payment of certain change of control payments as contemplated by the merger agreement and the repayment of
any amounts outstanding under the Lorillard Tobacco credit facility that will be terminated in connection with the completion of the Lorillard merger.
The Lorillard merger has not been completed as of the date of this prospectus supplement, and this offering is not conditioned upon completion of the
Lorillard merger or any other Lorillard transactions.

The Divestiture

In connection with entry into the merger agreement, on July 15, 2014, RAI entered into the asset purchase agreement and Lorillard entered into
the transfer agreement, in each case with Imperial Sub, and, for certain limited purposes of the asset purchase agreement, Imperial, pursuant to
which, subject to the closing of the Lorillard merger and other conditions, Imperial Sub will acquire (1) the RAI transferred assets, consisting of
certain assets owned by RAI subsidiaries or affiliates, related to the cigarette brands WINSTON, KOOL and SALEM (and, if acquired by Imperial
Sub under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, DORAL), and (2) the Lorillard transferred assets, consisting of certain assets currently owned
by Lorillard subsidiaries or affiliates, related to the electronic cigarette brands blu eCIGS and SKYCIG and the cigarette brand MAVERICK, as well
as Lorillard's owned and leased real property, including its manufacturing, research and development facilities and headquarters in Greensboro,
North Carolina and tobacco receiving and storage facilities in Danville, Virginia, and certain transferred employees, together with certain associated
liabilities.

Pursuant to the transfer agreement, certain Lorillard transferred assets, including Lorillard's Greensboro facility, Lorillard's Danville facility,
collective bargaining agreements that Lorillard is a party to and the related


S-10
Table of Contents
pension plan and certain liabilities will be transferred by Lorillard subsidiaries to Imperial Sub immediately prior to the closing of the Lorillard
merger. The remaining transferred assets, including all of the RAI transferred assets, and certain related assumed liabilities, will be transferred to
Imperial Sub by RAI subsidiaries or affiliates immediately after the closing of the Lorillard merger. The purchase price for the transferred assets and
certain related liabilities divested in the divestiture is $7.056 billion, which, after deducting estimated applicable income taxes, is currently estimated
to provide RAI $4.4 billion in cash. Under the merger agreement, the Lorillard merger is not conditioned upon the completion of the divestiture, but
the consent agreement with the FTC requires that the divestiture occur on the closing date of the Lorillard merger.

The BAT Share Purchase

In connection with the merger agreement and asset purchase agreement, on July 15, 2014, BAT, RAI's largest shareholder, and RAI entered
into the subscription agreement, pursuant to which BAT, directly or indirectly through one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries, will subscribe
for and purchase, at a price of approximately $4.7 billion in the aggregate, shares of RAI common stock sufficient to maintain BAT's approximately
42% beneficial ownership in RAI. The completion of the BAT share purchase is conditioned upon the completion of the Lorillard merger, but the
Lorillard merger is not conditioned upon the completion of the BAT share purchase.

Approvals; Conditions; Termination

The shareholders of RAI, Lorillard and Imperial have given the approvals required to complete the Lorillard transactions, the FTC has accepted
for public comment the consent agreement (on terms that do not require RAI or its affiliates to divest assets beyond what they have agreed to divest
in the asset purchase agreement) resolving the FTC's allegations that RAI's proposed acquisition of Lorillard would violate federal antitrust laws and
the waiting period relating to the Lorillard merger under the HSR Act has expired. In addition, the court in the U.S. Department of Justice case has
entered an order subjecting Imperial Sub and certain of its affiliates to the final judgment and remedial order in that case with respect to certain of the
transferred assets, which was a condition to completion of the divestiture. Consequently, the significant conditions to the completion of the Lorillard
transactions have been satisfied, and RAI currently expects the Lorillard transactions to be completed on or about June 12, 2015. The Lorillard
transactions are, however, subject to additional customary closing conditions, and RAI cannot guarantee that the Lorillard transactions will in fact be
completed on or about such date, or at all.

The merger agreement contains certain termination rights for each of RAI and Lorillard, including the right of each of RAI and Lorillard to
terminate the merger agreement if the Lorillard merger has not been completed by July 15, 2015, subject to an automatic six-month extension if, on
July 15, 2015, antitrust-related temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, judgments or similar legal restraints are in place, but all other
closing conditions have been satisfied.

This offering is not conditioned upon the completion of the Lorillard transactions. If, however, the Lorillard merger is not completed on or prior
