5 terms
Rule 3-09 of SEC Regulation S-X regulatory
"in accordance with Rule 3-09 of SEC Regulation S-X"
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regulatory
"audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board"
An independent oversight body that inspects and sets rules for the firms that audit public companies’ financial statements, ensuring those audits are thorough and trustworthy. Like a building inspector checking that a structure is safe, it helps investors rely on reported profits and debts by reducing the chance of sloppy or fraudulent audits; stronger oversight can raise investor confidence and affect how the market values a company.
well-known seasoned issuer regulatory
"if the registrant is a well-known seasoned issuer, as defined in Rule 405"
A well-known seasoned issuer (WKSI) is a large, established public company that meets regulatory size and reporting tests and is granted special, faster options to sell new securities to raise money. Think of it like a trusted borrower with a standing credit line: investors and markets see it as more familiar and the company can access capital quickly with less paperwork, which can affect share supply and investor returns.
large accelerated filer regulatory
"Large accelerated filer | þ | Accelerated filer"
A large accelerated filer is a publicly traded company that meets the U.S. securities regulator’s size and reporting history thresholds, qualifying it as one of the largest issuers. For investors, that label matters because such companies face faster filing deadlines, more rigorous audit and internal-control disclosure requirements, and generally more transparent and timely financial reporting—like a big, well-regulated store required to post its inventory and receipts promptly for customers to see.

FAQ
What does Altria (MO) change in this Form 10-K/A amendment?
The amendment adds consolidated financial statements of Altria’s equity investee ABI. It responds to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X and incorporates ABI’s audited statements without changing Altria’s own financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or other disclosures.
Do Altria’s financial results change in this 10-K/A for 2025?
No, Altria states the amendment does not modify its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or other disclosures. The only substantive change is adding ABI’s audited financial statements as a foreign equity investee, meeting SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-09 requirements.
Why is Anheuser-Busch InBev’s data included in Altria’s amended filing?
Altria holds a foreign equity investment in ABI, triggering Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X. That rule requires separate financial statements for significant equity investees. The amendment therefore incorporates ABI’s consolidated financial statements and auditor report by reference from ABI’s Form 20-F.
How large is Altria’s public float according to this amendment?
As of June 30, 2025, Altria reports common stock held by non-affiliates valued at about $98 billion. This figure is based on the New York Stock Exchange closing sale price and reflects the company’s public float at its most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
Who audited the ABI financial statements added to Altria’s 10-K/A?
ABI’s consolidated financial statements were audited by PwC Bedrijfsrevisoren BV / Reviseurs d’Entreprises SRL. The report notes that the audit followed standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and these audited statements are incorporated by reference into Altria’s amendment.
